i really just want to play games

Chapter 134 The prototype of the online mode

Chen Tiancai has not been idle this month. Although he has not paid much attention to exclusive games, what he has been thinking about is the online mode of "Legend Chang'an".

Moreover, there are already preliminary ideas, which can be said to lay the foundation for the online mode of "Legend Chang'an".

The biggest advantage of open world games is its huge map. Detailed maps will also give players an immersive feeling, so focusing on this advantage is a good choice.

As the flourishing city of Chang'an with a population of one million, there is no doubt that being able to experience everything about this city in person is the core of the online mode.

"The function of random deduction can be used in online mode." After thinking for a month, Chen Tiancai made up his mind.

The online mode of "Legend Chang'an" allows players to customize their characters, thus enriching their sense of substitution.

But the focus is on the various talents in Chang'an City. There are different professions and different social statuses here, and naturally there will be different life experiences.

Therefore, the random deduction function will randomly determine the player's occupation and even social status in Chang'an City.

And there will be family, relatives and friends.

The main online mode gameplay If you want to experience a different life, you need different online mode guide templates.

After all, it is impossible for a blacksmith to suddenly open a stall in the West Market, and of course the son of a prince or nobleman would not be a 'bad person'.

Of course, the currency system is still the key to the online mode. If you want to have a good game experience, the economic system in the online mode must be as realistic as possible.

However, due to the effect of the random deduction function, players who enter the online mode must have a large identity gap, but this does not affect the amount of money players can obtain.

The sons of princes and nobles may be high-class people, but they can only get rewards by completing their own roles, and what they can get may be more fame but less money.

Blacksmiths may not have much social status, but they can forge many magical weapons. Through the online auction house system, they may become richer than players with high-level status.

In addition, there will be merchants from the Western Regions, palace gate guards, or the identity of the protagonist, 'bad people' or frontier soldiers.

For the online mode, Chen Tiancai decided that in addition to maintaining the main big map, there will also be two new maps in the west and north for players who like war.

Those who like to farm and experience life can choose to stay in Chang'an City.

Although he decided to experience life randomly, Chen Tiancai also knew that if he randomly got an identity that the player didn't like, his favorability for the online mode might be greatly reduced.

After all, some people like to stay in those luxurious mansions, and they usually go anywhere in Chang'an City based on their roles, such as the must-see scenic spot Pingkangfang.

Naturally, there are also hamster parties who like to farm and want to cultivate the role of merchants and earn a lot of money.

The way to resolve this disagreement is also very simple. After the player enters the online mode, a set of multiple-choice questions will be used to provide a direction for the random deduction, so that the player can randomly choose the identity he wants.

In this way, the large amount of information collected by Li Zhu can also be used to classify various types of life in detail.

Chen Tiancai even prepared the imperial examination system, which allows players who are random ordinary people to improve their social class.

For the entire online mode, Chen Tiancai intends to use real time to pass, and the approximate ratio is one month to one year.

Therefore, the online mode is not a character, it is more similar to the operating system of The Sims.

From the time the player creates a character, he can manipulate his own created character, and as the player continues to play, this character will also encounter various things. If he likes war, there is a high probability that he will die in battle, and then he will receive a lot of money from his family. Select descendants to inherit from.

The same system also exists for those commercial roles, or the roles of princes and nobles.

Although it seems that the princes and nobles are the coolest, the strife in the high class is very serious. When the player is doing tasks and choices, it is very likely that he will fail with his family and be exiled to the lower class.

With such a plan, the online mode of "Legend Chang'an" is full of infinite possibilities. Even after players get tired of playing a profession, they can choose to commit suicide to change their gameplay.

If you want to say that the most fun game in the world, it is undoubtedly "Earth OL". In addition to not being able to reload the file, the food and other aspects of the real world are the more addictive parts.

You are one of the few humans who may truly enjoy all aspects of this world. Therefore, with the development of video games, many games are simulating this sense of reality.

With the birth of VR games, the biggest improvement is the sense of reality. Chen Tiancai feels that VR will develop in the future, and there will definitely be real Sims.

Therefore, the online mode Chen Tiancai designed for "Legend Chang'an" was aimed at simulating the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty era and the lives of the ancients.

However, the online mode cannot be decided so simply. There are still many things to consider, the biggest of which is the heavy testing work.

Different from the stand-alone part of the main body, the most problems are some modeling bugs, or other numerical problems, which can be solved with the world editor.

The test of the online mode must have real players to participate, because many subtle problems must be observed by the players, and it is absolutely impossible to completely leave it to the world editor.

In addition, the online mode is a network mode. It is a problem to determine how many players can be in the same plane map, because this determines the operating cost of the online mode and the selection of various subsequent update items.

At present, there are only so many issues that Chen Tiancai can consider. To be honest, there is still some distance between being able to develop an online mode.

It just so happens that "Legend Chang'an" has entered the final work and is expected to be completed by April next year.

At this critical point in time, Chen Tiancai thought for a while and felt that it was not a good time to announce the online mode.

Anyway, after the main body of "Legend Chang'an" is released, the project team will continue to make DLC content. When doing DLC ​​content, it is good to make an online mode by the way.

There is still 20.00% progress left in the main storyline, and the current work focus is still on the side missions.

In order to prevent the side tasks from appearing fragmented, Chen Tiancai cut off many side tasks that only had one task, and tried to make 80.00% of the side tasks into a series of tasks, which will be released as players continue to unlock the main plot. Try not to let side tasks become too fragmented. The mission affects the main line.

From the actual playing experience of this type of game, Chen Tiancai himself doesn't like to do side missions, because usually the excitement level of side missions is not higher than that of the main mission.

Therefore, Chen Tiancai strictly controls the quality and strives to make the experience of all side tasks no less than that of the main tasks.
