Chapter 227: The Seven Great Sects
The development of "Xiuzhen Fantasy" is going exceptionally smoothly.
The reason for this is that in addition to the core difficulties being solved by Chen Ba, it is also because many materials have ready-made templates for reference.
No kidding......
For a game with a fairy tale theme, it's really easy to find templates and references!
Search a lot on the Internet!
For example, Chen Ba now needs to do a "Edgeworth Flight". What stance does Edgeworth fly? What does the immortal cultivator's flying sword look like?
You don't need to use your brain, you can find a lot of similar fandom or second creations by searching the Internet, stitch them up and redraw them with AI, and the new "Edgeworth Flight" is ready.
It's really easy to do.
Xiuzhen Xianxia-themed works, comics, animations, movies, TV series and games are extremely proliferated, and a lot of them are grabbed.
There is a benefit to the proliferation of these works.
The advantage is that most of the content does not need to use your brain to think of originality, and you can stitch and learn from other people's ideas or settings, and you can make a Xianxia game that meets the minds of the "vast majority of people".
Chen Ba himself admitted that he was very shameless and "stole" a lot of things from Xiuzhen Xianxia's online texts.
But what do you say?
Rotten street things, you have to pursue copyright, I don't know which ancient book or ancient times to be traced to!
In the final analysis, many of the settings and ideas of Xiuzhen Xianxia were actually first proposed by their predecessors, and many authors also extracted materials from ancient books or myths and legends.
For example, the adjectives of the realm of "early, middle, and late stages of the Great Perfection".
Who was the first to come up with this premise?
Chen Ba searched for a long time but didn't find it, which one was it, and he took the lead in coming up with "the early stage of qi training, the middle stage of qi training...... Qi Training, Great Perfection".
Just use it.
The shameless Chen Ba adheres to the concept of using whatever is good, as long as it is a setting with a high degree of player recognition, he will give it a try.
The early, middle and late stages of the Great Perfection are already trivial!
He even used the outdated "Academy Auction House" without any consideration for the sense of disobedience.
"Words ......"
"There are academies and auction houses in the Xiuzhen Realm, and I can barely explain a thing or two, but isn't this foot massage too advanced?"
Yang Dong, who came to observe the progress of game development, was stunned by the new things that Brother Ba had come up with.
Be reasonable.
The academy auction house has seen these when I was good, and it is acceptable to be a little disobedient, but the foot massage is placed in the cultivation realm, which is somewhat unexpected.
Why don't you add Kaifeng and Golden Arches as well? By the way, open another KTV and bar?
When is Square Dance scheduled?
"Here's the thing......"
Chen Ba himself knows that this is indeed quite thunderous. But he did it for a reason, not just for the sake of foolishness.
"There are a lot of things in the game that don't fit the ancient background, and even things that obviously don't match the art style."
Chen Ba explained: "These things didn't come out of thin air, but originated from the secret realm cave. β
The story of "Xiuzhen Fantasy" mainly takes place in the fairy world.
The fairy realm is very large, and in the vast fairy realm, there are many secret realm caves hidden.
These secret realm caves are independent of the fairy realm, and they can be regarded as small worlds with broken laws. Different secret realms may have different environments and development directions.
"Don't be surprised when you see scientific and technological products, because some secret realms are likely to be a mortal planet that takes the route of science and technology."
"Cultivator vs. Mecha Warrior?"
"If you have to think so, then I can't help it. But don't worry, the reason why it's set like this is mainly to create dungeon bosses with different painting styles. β
Chen Ba explained: "There is a heavenly way in the fairy world, and there are gods three feet above your head! In this context, various villains, bosses, and monsters are not easy to set up. β
It can't be all monsters, right?
Evil cultivators or demons or something, in the cultivation world under the gaze of such a "Heavenly Dao" in the fairy world, it feels like there is not much room for expansion.
Therefore, in order to find opponents for players and enrich the game ecological environment of "Xiuzhen Fantasy", Chen Ba introduced the secret realm cave system.
The Secret Realm Cave Heaven is separated from the fairy world, and it is a relatively independent small world, so in this small world, there are biological and human environments with different styles, which makes sense.
"Okay!"
Yang Dong nodded, which can be regarded as an endorsement of Brother Ba's rhetoric.
However, he still has a question, that is, how to shape the main plot of "Xiuzhen Fantasy"? What is the story of this game?
"Game story......"
Chen Ba rubbed his dry eyes, and then introduced: "The player plays the role of an orphan who was tragically wiped out, and because of fate, he will be rescued by the old-timers who pass by and worship the Immortal Cultivation Sect. β
The sect is chosen by oneself.
There are seven schools of the game, each representing different development directions and skill branches.
"War Pastoral Law?"
"It's not the same!"
Chen Ba explained: "Our sect's professional system is not a traditional classification of war and herding. Instead, they are divided according to auxiliary professions such as refiners, alchemy, charms, formations, imperial beasts, and spirit plants. β
In the game, no matter what sect the player enters, the exercises they practice, and the secret techniques they use in battle are the same.
Want a different skill? OK, go play the copy and fight the monster explosion method cheats by yourself! What the sect can teach you is only the most basic thing.
The difference between different sects is mainly reflected in the auxiliary skills of refining alchemy, and players can choose the most suitable sect according to their own preferences and learn special auxiliary skills.
"What's the use of this?"
"It's so useful! Look down on life careers, right? This is the cultivation realm, and it is very popular to learn a craft. β
Chen Ba patiently explained the increase of different subclasses for players, as well as their positioning and role in the game.
Let's take daily farming as an example.
In addition to various magic weapons and cheats, you can also obtain certain materials, and the meaning of the existence of some copies is completely to produce rare materials.
After being processed by players, these materials can be turned into various powerful props, or powerful magic weapon equipment, and earn a lot of spirit stones.
Theoretically, the game store will not sell some basic medicines or props, and the game does not have a fixed channel, and it is purely produced by players.
Moreover, a player can practice at most one craft, and if he chooses a refining weapon, he cannot choose anything else, unless he changes his court and joins other sects.
"These support skills are not only a life profession, but also affect the combat strength of players."
Chen Ba took the Imperial Beast as an example.
Ordinary players can bring up to one spirit pet to battle, but players who have learned the beast control skill can bring three, five, or even ten spirit pets to battle.
There are also formation players, who can lay out various formations in specific scenes to increase their own strength, weaken the enemy's strength, or play other effects......
Although there are disadvantages such as not being able to move, slower layout, and invalidation if you change scenes, if you want to conquer difficult dungeons, formation players are almost a must.
"Sounds like this formation is a bit of a trick! I feel that more than half of the players will major in the formation in the end, whether it is a game or PK, it is quite fierce......"
"Pretty much."
Chen Ba smiled, and then explained: "Sects such as Imperial Beasts, Alchemy, and Talismans feel quite popular, mainly because the combat power of the increase is too terrifying. β
"And sects like Spirit Plants and Refining Weapons may be relatively unpopular."
This was expected by Chen Ba.
He can't help it, no matter what MMO game it is, there are basically popular and unpopular classes.
The classic iron triangle of war and pastoralism, isn't it also that there are more people in war than priests!
But then again.
Although the number of people of different professions and sects is destined to be unbalanced. But unpopular professions actually have the benefits of being unpopular.
After all, there are few players, no need to roll, and what you do is an exclusive business! There are always players who need refining weapons, spirit grass and spirit plants, and they don't have to worry about finding employment.
On the contrary, because of the large number of players, the popular professional sect has a strong involution. Especially in the case of alchemy, there are too many players in this industry, and the price of the pill will inevitably hit the price of cabbage.
What?
An elixir at this price, you can't make money, it's a pure waste of time?
You don't do alchemy, some players are willing to do alchemy, do you understand the gold content of popular professions? Do you understand what the environment is for ten players and five alchemists?
There is something to give, there is something to gain.
Players of popular professions will definitely regret it after swarming into the big pit of alchemy and formation.
After all, in the game "Xiuzhen Fantasy", earning spirit stones is still a relatively important thing, and the wealth and land are indispensable.
"With the passage of time, as well as the spontaneous involution of players, the gap in the number of people between the various sects will not become particularly exaggerated, and the overall is balanced."
Chen Ba said that among the various schools of "Xiuzhen Fantasy", there are no particularly perverted or supermodel schools.
There may be sects, such as spirit plants, that will indeed appear very weak and useless in the early stage. But this kind of sect will exert its strength in the late game and become the envy of everyone.
And the formation, which is very perverted at first glance, is just arrogant for a stage. After the player's damage overflows and it is not very necessary to arrange the formation to play the dungeon, the formation player should be unemployed and unemployed.
Strengths!
This is Chen Ba's positioning and distinction of the various professions in "Xiuzhen Fantasy".
Different professions have their own strengths, there is no obvious difference between strength and weakness, and some are just different ways of playing and positioning.
If there is really any sect that is particularly weak or unpopular in the game, Chen Ba will not look at it, and will secretly strengthen it.
Of course!
At present, it is not clear that the relationship between the strength and weakness of each sect and the restraint of each sect is not seen. After all, at this time, the game has not yet started testing!
The first phase of internal testing will begin soon.
Because it is an internal closed test, no relevant news has been publicly disclosed, and players don't even know that "Xiuzhen Fantasy" is undergoing a test.
This test lasted for a total of three days.
Among them, there were 32 participants, from the core employees of various departments of Tianba Studio. After each person has completed the test, they have to submit a test report.
The test report is simple.
The main thing is to write down on it, what do you think is the shortcomings of "Xiuzhen Fantasy", and what needs to be improved and corrected, as well as whether there are bugs in the game, what are your feelings during the testing process, etc.
Chen Ba carefully read the test report written by everyone, mainly to see how everyone complained about the game.
Don't worry about bugs or anything.
Although a few bugs were found in the first test, the problems were not very big, and Xiao Lu quickly solved them.
It was everyone's complaints and complaints about the game that made Chen Ba particularly concerned.
One of the employees mentioned that when he played "Xiuzhen Fantasy", he felt that there was a big problem with the optimization of the game, especially when he passed the map, he was stuck to death.
Chen Ba was deeply touched by this.
The overall optimization scheme of "Xiuzhen Fantasy" is more reasonable, except that when switching between different maps, the game will suddenly freeze and the frame rate will plummet.
This problem exists in many MMO games, even single-player games.
Play smoothly, and get stuck on the map!
It's not a problem of the over-image loading speed, if it's the over-image loading speed, then change to a better solid-state drive, or directly on the M.2 solid-state can solve most of the problem.
The main thing is to finish the map.,The moment you enter the new map, the screen will be stuck.,After a while, it's automatically restored.γ
In this regard, Chen Ba deliberately debugged and optimized, and also tried it with a computer with a mechanical hard disk.
As it turned out, the problem has been preliminarily solved, and now the image will not suddenly get stuck, but the frame drop is normal......
No way!
I thought that the picture would not drop frames,I don't know what level of computer you have to use,Anyway, Chen Ba thinks,The current hardware configuration,There should be no possibility that the number of frames will not drop the pictureγ
Dropped frames are acceptable.
Anyway, in the daily play of "Xiuzhen Fantasy", the frame rate is generally above 240, and this frame rate suddenly drops below 200 when passing through the picture, and ordinary people can't notice it.
What's the matter? The computer screen has a 144hz refresh rate, and you can still sense this change, why don't you go to heaven?
It's almost there!
More than 200 frames, which is already very smooth and smooth for daily play. Even if you drop a little frame, you won't notice it, and you won't feel like the game suddenly becomes stuck.
Unless......
Your computer configuration is much lower than the recommended configuration of "Xiuzhen Fantasy", and playing it is like a slideshow, which will indeed be very stuck.
However, this situation is no longer a problem that game optimization can solve. Chen Ba will not deliberately optimize these old machines.
Don't be spicy?
It's good to be able to play, and it's also optimized on chicken blood, what if the old machine suddenly strikes and smokes?
