Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 348 dlc and values

Huang Yan returned to his seat and began to work seriously.

For him, "Sekiro" is the first project of Xinhuo Studio, and it is also the first time he is in charge of numerical values ​​in the new company. It is a stand-alone game that he was not very good at before, and he must make it beautifully. beautiful and bright.

Huang Yan still has confidence in his ability, because overall, the numerical difficulty of online games is higher than that of stand-alone games.

In online games, the numerical value is basically equivalent to the player's game experience. Whether it is a lottery, dungeon, PVP, etc., these numerical content are very complicated, and numerical models must be built, and sufficient room for expansion must be left.

As for stand-alone games, there are relatively few numerical content, and the main focus is on the combat system.

In online games, there is also a combat system, and Huang Yan also has rich experience in this regard.

"Okay, start working!"

"Hmm... blood volume, attack power, posture gauge..."

Huang Yan briefly analyzed the design concept draft of "Sekiro", and found that there are actually not many numerical values ​​that need to be done.

Mainly the various attributes of the protagonist, boss, and minions, the damage of various skills, as well as the stance gauge that will increase through operations such as block and imperfect block, and the speed at which the stance gauge will naturally fall back, etc...

These contents, according to Zhong Ming's requirements, are different for different monsters.

For example, the stance gauge of humanoid enemies in the game grows fast, but also fades quickly; the stance gauge of large monsters grows slowly and needs to be worn down slowly.

Huang Yan has also studied the combat system of many games before, and he has a general idea in his mind. He immediately started to pull the value table on the computer, and filled in various values ​​according to his own ideas.

……

Zhong Ming returned to the Shimmer Studio, filled with excitement everywhere.

The success of "Ink Cloud 2" has far exceeded most people's imagination. People like Fu Xing'an actually expected that "Ink Cloud 2" would become popular, but they didn't expect it to explode to this extent!
And not only word of mouth, sales are also very explosive!

This game is a very critical game for both the full view display and the GS1 console. While occupying the live broadcast platform and video website, it also makes the position of the GS1 console more stable.

When players mention the GS1 console in the future, "Ink and Cloud 2" will definitely become the reason for many people to buy it.

The omni-view display is also very effective, and because the price is not very expensive, many players who plan to try it out have already bought 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 made simple arrangements for the future work.

"There are two tasks ahead. The first is to make holographic projection modes for other games, and the second is to develop the DLC of "Ink Cloud 2"."

Fu Xing'an nodded, these two things are basically done sooner or later.

After the success of the holographic projection mode of "Ink and Cloud 2", the all-view display has gained a good reputation.Although the current sales volume of the All-View Display is not very high, the players who bought it have a good reputation, which shows that this product has great potential.

At present, the all-view display only supports the game "Ink and Cloud 2". If it can support more high-quality games, more players will surely buy them.

Of course, if you want to make a holographic projection mode, there are still some problems, that is, the accuracy of the holographic projection display mode must be much lower than the traditional mode, and many players will definitely feel uncomfortable. Like "Ink Cloud 2", it is designed specifically for After all, there are very few games that highlight the advantages of all-view displays.

But it doesn’t matter. For games like “Resident Evil”, even if the display effect is worse than that of conventional monitors, it doesn’t matter. This is mainly to enrich the game library supported by holographic displays, and it is not expected to further increase the sales of the game.

Moreover, the all-view display can also undertake a very important function in the future, which is the live broadcast of holographic projection games.

So far, there are still very few live viewers in the holographic projection mode, because there are not many players who buy a full-view display, and players who buy a full-view display mostly use this display to play "Ink Cloud Smoke" 2", and rarely use it to watch live broadcasts.

However, the all-view display supports live holographic display games.

When players are tired from playing, they can directly enter the low-light live broadcast platform on the all-view display, and watch other anchors play "Ink and Cloud 2".

Perhaps this is an insignificant function for the time being, but Zhong Ming attaches great importance to it, because the 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 holographic projection mode.

And the all-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 a comparative advantage over other live broadcast platforms as a breakthrough in live broadcast.

The second main thing is to make the DLC of "Ink and Cloud 2".

The content of "Ink Cloud 2" so far is actually very rich, but since this game has been a great success, both in terms of word-of-mouth and sales, it is really unreasonable not to develop a DLC.

Making money is secondary, 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, what about the content of the DLC?" Fu Xing'an asked.

Zhong Ming thought for a while: "This time the DLC is mainly composed of three parts."

"The first part is more difficult challenges. A master mode is opened for players, and the difficulty of monsters is fully improved."

"The second part is the expansion content, including new vehicles, painting environments, plots, weapons, clothing, etc."

"The third part is a difficult trial. Players are given a new set of brushes and scrolls, as well as timing. Players can perform speedrun challenges."

"As for the price of the DLC...let's set a price of 99."

Zhong Ming briefly explained to Fu Xing'an, and Fu Xing'an recorded them one by one, nodding frequently.

The content of these DLCs is actually more conventional content, but players must still eat this set.

The default difficulty of "Ink Cloud 2" is not very high. When the character's blood volume is low at the beginning, some 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 the master mode, the mobs will also be significantly enhanced, and the operation requirements for the players will become higher. For some players who need challenges, the master mode is the correct way to open this game.

However, Zhong Ming deliberately made a more merciful design, that is, players can choose whether to inherit the words collected in the normal mode.After all, if 1000 words are collected twice, it is not interesting, and it is more painful for players.

The content of the expansion is very rich, including brand new plots, painting environments, weapons and clothing.

The new plot is mainly to open four new mission lines, including some new game content in each village. After completing all of them, you will find clues to the Mohist Trick City.In addition, there are new weapons, props, vehicles, etc., many of which are linked with other low-light platform games.

For example, the protective clothing linked with "Interstellar Tinder". The story is set that a meteor suddenly fell from the sky one day. The remains of the crashed probe, where you can find a set of protective suits from "Interstellar Tinder".This set of protective clothing has average defense, but has extremely high cold and heat resistance, and can have the functions of cold-proof clothing and heat-insulating clothing at the same time.

In addition, there are limited costumes linked with "Xuanjia Project" and "Resident Evil", which are hidden in treasure chests in specific areas. Open the treasure chest to get a new set of costumes.

After completing all the new plot content of the DLC, the protagonist can enter the Mohist Organ City, solve the puzzles and open the Mohist Organs, challenge the large-scale organ dolls inside, and finally get a set of Mohist Organs, including:

Wood kite: A flying vehicle that can fly in the air at a slower speed, but it relies more on the wind, and it will be slightly faster when the wind is down.This kind of vehicle needs to consume some materials to continue flying. Players can choose props on their bodies to add fuel to it.

Mechanism Umbrella: Linked with "Sekiro", the mechanism umbrella can be used as a shield when it is opened. It is the shield with the highest defense in the game, and the mechanism umbrella can be used as a glider when falling, and the falling speed is faster than the original kite. slow.

Locomotive: A very handsome automatic unicycle, suitable for all terrains, can climb mountains, and can also move on water (but the speed will be slower). Like the wooden kite, it needs to consume the props on its body to increase fuel.

The third part is "The Trial of the Saint", which will challenge an extremely complicated illusion, which includes all the powerful monsters in the game so far, and all the weapons and props on the scholar's body cannot be brought in after entering, and the blood volume is one The default value (this value is the same no matter how much blood enters), and external buffs cannot be brought in.

In this trial, players must use the scholar's basic abilities and their own skills to challenge, challenge increasingly stronger enemies to strengthen their own combat power, and pass the level after hard work.

After clearing the level, the scholar will fully enhance his painting scroll and brush. Originally, the defense and attack power of these two are very low, but now they will be permanently improved.And after completing the trial, you will also increase your ink meaning and life value.

Fu Xing'an memorized all these contents, and in the next period of time, he will mainly develop DLC.

"This time the DLC is going to be linked with the new game, and the progress is still a bit rushed, so hurry up." Zhong Ming instructed.

At Xinhuo Studio, the development of "Sekiro" will start soon, and Zhong Ming plans to release the DLC of "Ink and Cloud 2" together with "Sekiro" to catch up with each other.

Moreover, in this game selection, "Ink and Cloud 2" will definitely win the award. Zhong Ming plans to promote the DLC of "Ink and Cloud 2" in the selection, and by the way, stir up the popularity of "Sekiro".

……

three days later.

Huang Yan's work efficiency is very high, and he has already made 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 health, attack power, skill damage, etc. of bosses, mobs, and players.

Huang Yan first showed it to Hu Bin.

Hu Bin glanced at it roughly: "Is it done according to the combat framework of the previous "Yi Jian Tianya"?"

Huang Yan nodded: "Yes, I think that set of values ​​is more secure, after all, the values ​​of "Yi Jian Tian Ya" have been verified by the market."

"Well, I think it's okay." Hu Bin nodded.

He also understands numerical values. After a quick scan, he can probably see that this set of numerical values ​​is quite satisfactory, fully considering the game experience of most players.

"Well, Brother Hu, let me confirm again. Did Mr. Zhong mention this question, that is... the difficulty division of the game? Is there any entry, easy, difficult, and master difficulty?" Huang Yan asked.

Hu Bin thought for a while: "No. Doesn't "Ink and Cloud 2" also have difficulty choices?"

"Oh, yes." Huang Yan nodded.

When he was doing numerical values, he felt that it would be better to set up a difficulty option. After all, many similar action stand-alone games have difficulty options, which is convenient for different players to experience the game.

But since Hu Bin said no, then no need.Huang Yan's value is set according to the medium difficulty.

"Okay, I'll give this set of values ​​to Mr. Zhong to have a look. It's been a hard 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. Take a look and you can change anything that is inappropriate. Because we really don't have much experience with similar numerical systems, so you have to check it out. "

Zhong Ming replied quickly: "OK, let me take a look."

Hu Bin waited anxiously for Zhong Ming's reply.

After 10 minutes, Zhong Ming sent back the revised numerical framework.

"It's a good job. I changed a few things, and you can just develop according to this. After the game is finished, you can fine-tune it." Zhong Ming still did not forget to boast.

Hu Bin was very happy, and took Zhong Ming's modified numerical frame to Huang Yan's station, and the two of them opened the numerical table, ready to see what had been changed.

Huang Yan squinted his eyes for a long time.

"It seems... nothing has changed?"

There are a lot of content on the value table, there are a lot of tabs, and each tab has thousands of rows of data.Although this numerical framework was made by Huang Yan, he didn't see anything different from before after he took a closer look.

"...Wait a minute, let me compare."

Huang Yan opened the previous form, compared the two forms, and quickly found out what had been changed.

No other changes were made, except that a 0 was added after all the values ​​of all hostile units, including bosses, elites, and mobs.

Including all bosses, elites, mobs' attack power, life value, etc., all multiplied by 10.
