Chapter 340 DLC and Values
Huang Yan returned to his seat and began to work hard.
For him, "Sekiro" is the first project of Tsuke Studio and the first time he is responsible for numerical values in a new company. It is a stand-alone game that he was not very good at before, and he must do it beautifully.
Huang Yan is still confident about his own abilities, because overall, the numerical difficulty of online games is higher than that of stand-alone games.
In online games, numerical values are basically equivalent to the player's gaming experience. Whether it is lottery, dungeon, PVP, etc., these numerical content is very complex, and numerical models are required to be built and sufficient expansion space must be left.
As for stand-alone games, there is less numerical content, mainly focusing on the combat system.
There is also a combat system in online games, and Huang Yan also has rich experience in this regard.
"Okay, get started!"
"Well...health, attack power, posture groove..."
Huang Yan briefly analyzed the design concept draft of "Sekiro" and found that there were actually not many values needed to be done.
The main ones are the various attributes of the protagonist, boss, and soldier, the damage of various skills, and the posture slots that will increase when blocking, imperfect blocking and other operations, as well as the speed of the posture slot falling naturally, etc....
According to Zhong Ming’s requirements, different monsters are different.
For example, the human-shaped enemy posture slots in the game grow rapidly, but disappear quickly; the posture slots of large monsters grow slowly, and need to be slowly worn down.
Huang Yan has also studied many game combat systems before, and he is generally aware of it. He immediately started to pull the numerical table on the computer and filled in various numerical values according to his own ideas.
...
Zhong Ming returned to Weiguang Studio, and was filled with excitement everywhere.
The success of "Ink and Wash 2" far exceeds most people's imagination. Fu Xingan and others actually expected that the reputation of "Ink and Wash 2" would be very high, but they did not expect it to be so popular!
And it's not just reputation, but also sales are very explosive!
This game is a very critical game for the full-view monitor and the GS1 console. While occupying the live broadcast platform and video website, it also makes the GS1 console's position more stable.
When players mention GS1 console in the future, "Ink and Wash 2" will definitely become a reason for many people to buy it.
The full-view display is also very effective, and because the price is not very expensive, many players who plan to try it out have purchased it.
If Weiguang Studio can launch more games that support full-view displays in the future, then this device will definitely become more popular.
Zhong Ming called Fu Xing'an over and arranged the subsequent work briefly.
"There are two activities next. The first is to create the holographic projection mode for other games, and the second is to develop the DLC for "Ink and Wash 2."
Fu Xingan nodded. These two things are basically done sooner or later.
After the holographic projection mode of "Ink and Wash 2" was successful, the full-view monitor has gained a good reputation. Although the current sales of the full-view monitor are not very high, the players who purchased the product have a good reputation, which shows that this product has great potential.
Currently, the full-view monitor only supports the game "Ink Clouds and Smoke 2". If it can support more high-quality games, more players will definitely buy it.
Of course, if you want to create a holographic projection mode, there are some problems, that is, the accuracy of the holographic projection display mode is definitely much lower than that of the traditional mode, and many players will definitely feel uncomfortable. Games like "Ink and Wash 2" designed specifically to highlight the advantages of full-view displays, are a very rare number after all.
But it doesn't matter. For example, games like "Resident Evil" do not matter even if the display effect is worse than conventional monitors. This is mainly to enrich the game library supported by holographic displays, and we don't expect to further increase the sales of the game through this.
Moreover, the full-view display can also assume a very important function in the future, which is the live broadcast of holographic projection games.
So far, there are still a very small number of live viewers in holographic projection mode, because there are not many players who buy full-view monitors, and most of the time the players who buy full-view monitors use this monitor to play "Ink and Cloud 2" and rarely use it to watch live broadcasts.
However, the full-view display supports live holographic display games.
When players are tired of playing, they can directly enter the Weiguang Live Platform on the full-view monitor and watch other anchors play "Ink and Wash 2".
Perhaps this is still an insignificant feature for the time being, but Zhong Ming attaches great importance to it because holographic projection live broadcast is the only one.
All other live broadcast platforms do not have the function of holographic projection live broadcast. Even if players have holographic projection equipment, the live broadcast signals output by these live broadcast platforms are not in the holographic projection mode.
The full-view display supports and only supports the low-light live broadcast platform, which is also a first-mover advantage.
By gradually expanding this first-mover advantage, we can establish relative advantages over other live broadcast platforms and serve as a breakthrough for live broadcast.
The second main thing is to produce the DLC of "Ink and Wash 2".
The content of "Ink and Wash 2" has been very rich so far, but since this game has been a great success, both reputation and sales are very explosive, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable not to develop a DLC.
Making money is second to the point. The main thing is to further enrich the gameplay, so that "Ink and Cloud 2" can have richer game content, enough for players to play for a long time.
"Then, boss, where is the content of DLC?" Fu Xingan asked.
Zhong Ming thought for a while: "This time, DLC is mainly composed of three parts."
"The first part is more difficult challenges, giving players a master mode, and the difficulty of monsters is comprehensively increased."
"The second part is the expansion of content, including brand new vehicles, painting situations, plots, weapons, costumes, etc."
"The third part is a difficult trial, giving players a brand new set of brushes and scrolls, as well as timing, so players can conduct quick-pass challenges."
"As for the price of DLC... let's set it to 99."
Zhong Ming briefly explained to Fu Xingan, recorded it one by one, and nodded frequently.
The content of these DLCs is actually relatively regular, but players will definitely still use this one.
The default difficulty of "Ink and Wash 2" is not very high. At the beginning, when the character's health is small, players may feel that it is easy to die, but after they are really proficient, many players will feel that the difficulty is too low.
In Master mode, the monsters will also be significantly enhanced, and the operation requirements for players will become higher. For some players who need to challenge, Master mode is the correct way to open this game.
However, Zhong Ming made a more compassionate design, which is that players can choose whether to inherit the words they have collected in the normal mode. After all, if 1,000 words are collected twice, it is meaningless and it is also more painful for players.
The expanded content is very rich, including a brand new plot, painting environment, weapons and costumes.
The new plot mainly opens four new mission lines, including some newly added game content in each village. After all, clues of the Mohist Party City will be found. In addition, there are new weapons, props, vehicles, etc., many of which are linked to other shimmer platform games.
For example, the protective suit that is linked to "Star Fire". The story is set in which a meteor suddenly falls one day. The meteor falls in the area where monsters gather, and enters the crater layer by layer. You can finally find the remains of a small detector crash. You can find a set of protective suits in "Star Fire". This protective suit has average defense, but it has extremely high cold resistance and heat resistance, and can have both cold protection and heat insulation suits.
In addition, there are limited clothing that is linked to "The Legend of the Concept" and "Resident Evil". It is hidden in treasure chests in specific areas. Open the treasure chest and get a brand new set of clothing.
After completing all the new plots of DLC, the protagonist can enter the Mohist Party City. After solving puzzles and opening the Mohist Party, challenge the large-scale machine dolls inside, and finally obtain a set of Mohist Party mechanisms, including:
Muquan: A flying vehicle that can fly in the air at a slower speed, but it relies more on wind power and will be slightly faster when it is downwind. This vehicle requires some materials to continue flying, and players can choose props on their bodies to increase fuel for it.
Mechanical Umbrella: The linkage content with "Sekiro", opening the Mechanical Umbrella can be used as a shield, it is the shield with the highest defense in the game, and when it falls, the Mechanical Umbrella can be used as a glider, and the falling speed is slower than the original kite.
Mechanical car: a very handsome automatic wheelbarrow, suitable for all terrain, can climb mountains or move on the water (but the speed will be slower). Like a wooden kite, you need to consume props on your body to increase fuel.
The third part is "Trial of the Saint", which will challenge an extremely complex illusion. The illusion includes all the powerful monsters in the game so far. Moreover, after the scholar enters, all the weapons and props on his body cannot be brought in. The blood volume is a default value (no matter how much blood enters, it is the value), and the external buff cannot be brought in.
In this trial, players must use the scholar's basic abilities and their own skills to challenge each level and level, and constantly challenge the increasingly stronger enemies and stronger combat power. Only after hard work can they pass the level.
After passing the level, the scholar will comprehensively enhance his scroll and brush. Originally, the defense and attack power of both of them were very low, but now he will get permanent improvements. Moreover, after completing the trial, he will also increase his ink intention and health.
Fu Xing'an wrote down all these contents, and the next period of time was mainly to develop DLC.
"This time, DLC plans to connect with the new game, and the progress is still a bit rushing, so you should do it as soon as possible." Zhong Ming instructed.
The development of "Sekiro" will soon begin. Zhong Ming plans to let the DLC of "Ink and Wash 2" and "Sekiro" be released together to gain popularity with each other.
Moreover, in this game selection, "Ink Clouds and Smoke 2" will definitely win the award. Zhong Ming plans to promote the DLC of "Ink Clouds and Smoke 2" in the selection and also hype up the popularity of "Sekiro".
...
Three days later.
Huang Yan is very efficient and has already produced the basic mathematical model of "Sekiro".
This includes most of the numerical content in the game. Of course, it is mainly the combat system, including the boss, monsters and players' health, attack power, skill damage, etc.
Huang Yan first showed it to Hu Bin.
Hu Bin browsed roughly: "Is it done according to the previous battle framework of "The Sword of the World"?"
Huang Yan nodded: "Yes, I think that set of values is more stable. After all, the values of "Yi Jian Tianya" have been verified by the market."
"Well, I think it's OK." Hu Bin nodded.
He also understands the values. After a little swipe, he can probably see that this set of values is still average, fully considering the gaming experience of most players.
"Well, Brother Hu, let me confirm again. Has Mr. Zhong mentioned this question? It's... the difficulty classification of the game? Is there any introduction, simple, difficult, and master difficulty?" Huang Yan asked.
Hu Bin thought for a while: "No. Isn't there any difficulty choices in "Ink and Wash 2"?"
"Oh, too." Huang Yan nodded.
When he was doing numerical values, he felt that it was best to make a difficulty option. After all, many similar single-player games have difficulty options, which facilitates different players to experience the game.
But since Hu Bin said no, then no. Huang Yan set the value according to the medium difficulty.
"Okay, I'll give this set of values to Mr. Zhong. Thank you for your hard work these two days." Hu Bin said.
After Huang Yan left, Hu Bin sent it directly to Zhong Ming on the internal communication software.
"Mr. Zhong, the numerical framework of "Sekiro" has been made. If you take a look, you can change any inappropriate aspects. Because we really have no experience with similar numerical systems, you still have to check it."
Zhong Ming quickly replied: "OK, I'll take a look."
Hu Bin was waiting for Zhong Ming’s reply with some anxiety.
Ten minutes later, Zhong Ming sent back the modified numerical framework.
"It's done well. I've changed something a little, and you can just develop it according to this. Just wait until the game is made and then fine-tune it." Zhong Ming did not forget to praise a few words.
Hu Bin was very happy and came to Huang Yan's work station with the numerical frame that Zhong Ming corrected. The two of them opened the numerical table and were about to see where the changes were made.
Huang Yan squinted his eyes and looked for a long time.
"It seems... nothing has changed?"
There is a lot of content on the numerical table, with a lot of tabs, each with thousands of rows of data. Although this numerical framework was made by Huang Yan, he couldn't tell what was different from before after a glance.
“…wait, I’ll compare.”
Huang Yan opened the previous form, compared the two forms, and soon found the changes.
No other places have been changed, just add 0 after all the values of all hostile units, including boss, elite, and monsters.
Chapter completed!
