After finishing the visit to the Magic Dragon Studio, Chen Ba led people to participate in this year's China Overseas Game Exhibition.

At the show, he unveiled the official name of the new game and some of its selling points.

The new game is tentatively titled Xiuzhen Fantasy, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game with a Xianxia theme.

This is also a pie painting......

Although the name and theme of the new game were exposed, it is clear that "Xiuzhen Fantasy" has nothing but a few promotional pictures drawn by AI.

Not even a promotional video was made.

So in the eyes of many people, Brother Ba's move is tantamount to painting cakes. The game must not have been done well, and it may not have started to be done yet, and now it will be announced?

Spit and complain, after all, it's not the first time that Brother Ba has painted cakes.

And the cake he drew this time, compared with the cake he painted in the past, obviously attracted the attention of players more and was more exciting.

Xianxia MMO?

Hold the grass! This is news that shocked everyone for a whole year, Tianba Studio is going to be an MMO? The theme is still the fairy tale that everyone likes?

Sounds cool!

The only suspense is whether Tianba Studio, which has never done MMOs, can do this game well? And what kind of payment model will this MMO take?

"Brother Ba, is the game kryptonite?"

This is the most asked question that Chen Ba hears, and it is also a question that players are generally concerned about.

MMOs are all gold-eating behemoths, and that's a well-established fact in the gaming world. Players who have played MMO games know that this kind of game is good if it is a point card system and a free game......

There is no doubt that in order to compete for the first place, hundreds of thousands of millions of people may not even be able to make a splash.

Don't be exaggerated!

MMO floors are low, especially free-to-play games, which are flooded with a large number of zero-krypton prostitutes, who not only play games for nothing, but even find ways to make money from the game.

But after removing these zero krypton and small krypton players, the upper limit of MMO games will make people jaw-dropping and exaggerated!

Based on Chen Ba's experience, the upper limit of MMO games mainly depends on two aspects.

One is the competitive intensity of various rankings!

If the list in your area is more competitive, there are more heavy krypton players, and the price level is relatively high, then the ceiling will be pulled very high.

The second is the upper limit of the game itself.

Some games, a larger version update, may cost tens of thousands of dollars to raise to the upper limit. There's no point in continuing to spend money, because that's all there is to this version update.

Take Mijia's classic card pool as an example.

The new version has a character pool and weapon pool, and the cost of pumping the character + weapon full is the upper limit of this version.

Two modes, each with its own merits.

Generally speaking, games that control the upper limit of krypton through version updates are generally more friendly to krypton, so as not to dissuade ordinary players.

Because the upper limit of the version is here, Shenhao is desperate for kryptonite, and there is not much gap between it and ordinary players.

The game itself has no upper limit, and a game that tests the thickness of the player's wallet is more terrifying. The players at the top of the list may be able to kill a white prostitute zero krypton player with a single knife, and the pure Musou mows the grass.

"We're going to be the former."

Facing the worries and concerns of the players, Chen Ba said to Xiao Lu beside him: "Through the version update, control the krypton and upper limit of the game, and you can't turn it into a game where the big guy mows the grass." ”

"So it's still free-to-play?"

"No way, the market environment decides, and players like this kind of free game with no threshold."

Chen Ba said helplessly: "And in terms of revenue flow alone, free games are really powerful!" With a more attractive kryptonite activity, you can earn a year's income from point card games in a month. ”

What?

You said that point card games are vigorous, and it is common for a game to operate for ten years? Free games are just fast food that makes a lot of money in the first few years and goes downhill in the next few years?

That's right, that's exactly what happened.

But is it possible that the money you make in the first few years of free games has exceeded the income of your point card game for ten or even twenty years?

Fast food is indeed fast food, and it is also true that free games will not go long, and the later they go, the weaker they become.

But there are two sides to everything.

In the first two years of the free game, it was really profitable! You can earn ten years of income from the point card game in two years, who still plays "trickle and long stream" with you?

Xiuzhen Fantasy must be a free-to-play game, and it can only be a free-to-play game.

Chen Ba thought about charging point cards, and he also thought about operating for a long time like World of Warcraft, but he gave up after all.

Again, the boar can't eat the chaff, and the players choose their own free games, so don't blame the game developers for voting with their feet.

For free-to-play games, the main revenue channel is the built-in game store.

In the game "Xiuzhen Fantasy", Chen Ba has already thought of a rough kryptonite plan.

The game has a catastrophe mechanic!

Every time you break through a big realm, you will face the baptism of thunder. If you pass it smoothly, you will improve your realm, and if you fail to cross the tribulation, you will return to the next level, and your previous efforts will be wasted.

If you want to survive the thunderstorm safely and painlessly, you need krypton.

Merit can also reduce the power of the Thunder Tribulation.

It's just that it is very difficult to obtain merits, and in comparison, Krypton gold will be a little more cost-effective to buy the Tribulation Pill and the Realm Breaking Pill.

"Can't you cross the catastrophe without kryptonite?"

"Absolutely!"

Chen Ba looked at Xiao Lu with the eyes of a fool, and pouted: "If you don't have kryptonite, you won't be able to cross the catastrophe, won't our game become exclusive to kryptonite bosses?" ”

Of course, Zero Krypton can also survive the catastrophe.

It's just that the success rate is definitely lower than that of krypton players, and it looks more like face.

Krypton players, all kinds of realm-breaking pills are full, and they may pass the tribulation in one go. Zero-Krypton players may be trapped in a certain realm for a period of time, and they can only break through to the next realm after trying a few more times.

By the way.

The robbery mechanism in the game, whether it is a krypton player or a zero krypton player, can not be 100% stable, the highest success rate is 80%, and the lowest is 30%!

"This is a mechanism that looks at the face relatively well, and the kryptonite boss may also have a black face and fail ten consecutive tribulations. Zero-Krypton players can also have a white face, and they succeed in one attempt. ”

Chen Ba explained: "If you want to be more secure, whether you are a krypton gold player or a zero krypton player, the best way is to accumulate merit. ”

That's right, merit!

These success rates are roughly estimated on the premise of excluding the influence of "merit".

If merit is added, the success rate can be increased to 100%! If you have accumulated enough merits, it will be as easy as eating and drinking.

The merit is complete, and the merit is immeasurable......

These words all speak volumes about how important merit is in a world where immortals exist.

"People of great merit should not even kill without permission, otherwise it will cause extremely terrible consequences......

Chen Ba explained the consequences of a player who has great merit in the game "Xiuzhen Fantasy" and is killed by someone as a result.

First, the killer is deducted from the amount of merit the player has.

If the merit is not enough?

I'm sorry, but if you kill someone with great merit, and your merit is not enough to deduct it, it will become a negative number. The life span will also be greatly reduced, which is a life loss behavior.

In addition, the amount of experience gained will also be greatly reduced, and the output of various drops will also shrink many times......

"Folded Shou?"

It seemed that he heard a terrible word in Brother Ba's mouth, and Xiao Lu was full of curiosity: "Will the immortal cultivator still live and die?" ”

"Of course!"

"As long as an immortal cultivator does not become an immortal, there is a lifespan limit, not real immortality."

Chen Ba explained: "In the game, we set different life limits according to different realms. ”

For example, the upper limit of the Qi training period is 100 years, and the upper limit of the foundation building period is 300 years!

This lifespan will be consumed when using certain powerful secret methods, entering special secret realms, and even retreating and cultivating.

When the player's remaining lifespan is zero, that is, the limit is approaching, and he has not yet broken through to the next realm, he will experience a "reincarnation".

Reincarnation and rebuilding are fast.

And there is another benefit of reincarnation, which is to increase the success rate of the tribulation.

"Oh?"

Xiao Lu didn't seem to expect that this could also be linked, so he asked: "It means that if you are not sure about the tribulation, or if the tribulation fails, you can reincarnate and rebuild to increase the basic success rate of the next tribulation?" ”

"That's right!"

"The game encourages players to reincarnate and rebuild, that is, to die as soon as their life expectancy is up, to eat less life-prolonging elixirs or elixirs, and to rely on immortality."

Chen Ba said that there was a life limit in the game, which was originally intended to encourage players to reincarnate and rebuild.

There are many benefits to reincarnation!

The only disadvantage is that the cultivation is only cleared to the realm, and you need to start cultivating from scratch.

But this is not a big problem, after all, the speed of reincarnation and recultivation is definitely much faster than normal cultivation, and there is no need to cross the tribulation halfway. Even if you start from scratch, you won't waste much time.

The later you go, the more you need to reincarnate and rebuild to increase the success rate of the Tribulation.

But at that time, players may be faced with a happy dilemma: there are too many remaining lifespans, how to spend them?

"Haha, is there such a thing?"

"It's not easy to die, just use those forbidden secret methods and use up your lifespan."

"It's easy to say, but is there a possibility that these life-consuming forbidden secret methods are very long?" Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said.

When the lifespan is short, just place a few copies and enter a few secret realm caves that involve time, and the remaining lifespan will soon run out.

But when the lifespan is tens of thousands of years, it is not easy to spend the remaining life as soon as possible and carry out the so-called reincarnation and reconstruction.

What's the trouble?

Tens of thousands of years of life, playing the forbidden secret method of burning essence and blood, then you have to burn until the Year of the Monkey to burn the tens of thousands of years of life? Really don't have CDs for skills, right?

As for natural old age......

It's better to save it! In "Xiuzhen Fantasy", in reality, only ten years have passed in one day of the game!

If you want to die of old age naturally, you can't hope unless you retire for three or five years.

"The cultivation realm is very cruel!"

"A monk with a low realm, in order to fight for a few life-extending treasures, his head is bleeding, and the dog's brain is about to be beaten."

Chen Ba quipped: "But in the eyes of the great powers in the high realm, who are only one step away from becoming immortals, the lifespan of tens of thousands of years is a burden, because it hinders their steps to become immortals." ”

"If only the lifespan could be transferred, low-realm players don't have to worry about lifespan all the time, and high-realm players can quickly reincarnate and rebuild......"

Think beautifully!

Hearing Xiao Lu's words, Chen Ba couldn't help but complain: "If you really play like this, isn't the game a mess?" ”

Are you a monkey and scribbling in the book of life and death? How is it possible to transfer this thing of lifespan?

"That's right!"

As if thinking of something, Xiao Lu asked curiously: "Brother Ba, our game is the highest Mahayana realm, can't we become immortals?" ”

"Can't become an immortal ......"

Chen Ba nodded rarely, and then explained: "Don't talk about becoming an immortal, the Mahayana period is estimated to be an unattainable dream for players. ”

These realms were designed, and I never thought that any player would be able to reach them.

In other words, the meaning of the existence of these realms is not designed for players today, but for players in five or ten years.

After all, this is the ultimate goal!

If you easily break through to the Mahayana period, or even become an immortal, then what is the meaning of the game "Xiuzhen Fantasy"?

Three-day speedrun, right?

If it's really so outrageous, most of the games have to make a map of the fairy world, the end of the fairy world is the god world, the end of the god world is the holy world, and the end of the holy world is the Hongmeng world......

Anyway, infinite nesting dolls!

The map was changed so diligently, and the realms were one after another, Chen Ba felt that it was better to stay in the cultivation realm honestly and play in one world for a lifetime.

The map will be updated, the main story will be updated, and the game version will be updated.

Everything will be updated, but these key cultivation realms are estimated to be used in Guanfu. After all, Chen Ba really doesn't like to change maps frequently, which will make him feel very bored.

He also remembers a Java mobile game that he had played in the era of feature phones.

That game is also a fairy tale type.

The game tells the player very bluntly that our level 120 is the full level, and when we reach this, the game can basically be uninstalled and not played.

At that time, Chen Ba was still very dismissive, until many years later, he accidentally opened the forum of this game, only to find that no one had reached the full level of 120 until the game was suspended.

It can only be described as outrageous!

Chen Ba also borrowed this idea, becoming an immortal is the full level, that is, the end of the game. But this end, no one may have done it until "Xiuzhen Fantasy" was suspended.

Be bold, maybe ten years after this game, there will still be few Mahayana monks in the cultivation world.

"Isn't this going to be ......?"

"That's it!"

Before Xiao Lu's words were finished, Chen Ba interrupted: "Isn't this very reasonable?" From mortal to immortal, how big is this leap? I can't walk to the end of the fairy road in my life, and I will always walk on the road of seeking immortals, this is my ideal fairy. ”

Some games are obviously the theme of "asking for immortals", but it turns out that becoming an immortal is as simple as eating and drinking, and Chen Ba is speechless.

Come on!

When you wholesale immortals, did you take a good look at the theme and introduction of your game?

Is it really that simple to become an immortal? As for the wholesale immortals, you might as well take a look at the descriptions of "immortals" in those myths and legends!

Cold knowledge, there are also a number of immortals in the mythical heavenly court, and the heavenly soldiers and generals are not "immortals" in theory.

When I coded words, my left elbow joint hurt a little, and I was going to apply a hot water compress and massage it, and it was only 4K today
