Almighty Video Game Designer

Qian Kun raised his hand and asked,"so, manager, is the entire game going to be similar to Wulin legend?"

Chen Zhao nodded,"yes, but it's much faster. The game was roughly divided into three stages, the first stage was the novice stage, completing the missions of the various sects and fighting in the wild to improve their own strength; In the second stage, the resources of the sects would be integrated. The Orthodox sects would compete for the leader of the martial arts world, while the evil sects would compete for the Overlord of the martial arts world, in preparation for the final battle. In the third stage, the righteous and evil sides will have a decisive battle, and the leader of the martial arts world or the Overlord of the martial arts world will be decided. "

Qian Kun frowned,'but I still feel that the righteous sect is stronger. The righteous faction's Alliance master could lead nine sects, while the evil faction only had three. This gap was simply too great, and it was very difficult to use NPCs to balance it out. After all, by the time the players get their hands on all sorts of high-level martial arts, most of the NPC soldiers will just be sending themselves to their deaths. "

Chen Zhao nodded."That's right. But you've forgotten one thing. The righteous and evil have different ways of doing things."

"Specifically, the righteous sect can't be exterminated, but the evil sect can. In the early stages of the game, all righteous sects had their own problems and could only defend. Even if the problem was solved, the righteous sect could not attack other righteous sects. Even if the players wanted to attack, the leaders and NPCs of the righteous sects would not agree. If the player insists on doing things his way, he might even be expelled from the sect. "

"But the evil faction is different. At the beginning of the game, the evil faction is at full health and can attack the righteous faction. Once they are successfully annihilated, they can plunder a large number of martial arts and resources, and their forces will expand rapidly."

"In other words, in the early and middle stages of the game, the righteous and evil factions are in a tug-of-war. The righteous faction had to think of ways to defend against the evil faction's attacks and recover their strength, while the evil faction had to think of ways to reap more benefits while the righteous faction's strength was greatly damaged. The schemes and intrigues between the two sides in the early and mid stages will directly affect the power balance between the two sides during the final battle. "

"Um, manager, I have a question," su Jinyu said. Since this is a zero-sum game, What should I do if I'm a decent player and there's a player who's much better than me?"

You have three choices: First, find a fortuitous encounter, fight in the wilderness, and improve your strength to surpass him. Second, poison him or even collude with the demonic sect to kill him. Of course, doing so was equivalent to betraying him, and there was the risk of being expelled from the sect. Third, follow him obediently and let him be the leader of the martial arts world. "

Su Jinyu,"huh? What's the point of following him?"

Chen Mo smiled and explained,"this game is a zero-sum game, but that doesn't mean you have to be first in every round." It was like eating chicken. Under normal circumstances, one could only eat chicken once every two or three days. It's already good enough to get the title of the chief of the martial arts world once every two or three days in this game. "

"What if we can't obtain the alliance leader? Was there no difference between the second and last place? Of course not. We will determine the ranking of the players based on the order of their death and give them rewards. When you can't deal with a decent player, you can follow him first, hang in there, and then think of a way to trick him later. "

Su Jinyu thought for a moment."Then, would there be 24 players? six evil players would die as soon as they came up, and the remaining 17 righteous players would all follow a Big Boss and shout ' 666'?"

Chen Mo smiled,"theoretically, that's possible, but the probability is very low. "First of all, we will have a balance mechanism between the forces. If all the evil faction players die, then the righteous faction players will rebel and directly obtain the appreciation of the evil faction and some high-level martial arts. Secondly, players were all pugnacious. How could they just sit back and watch you become the leader of the martial arts world? Whether it was in the open or in the dark, there would definitely be players who would join forces to get rid of you;"In addition, if a number of decent players survive in the end, the rest of the players will be ranked according to their overall score (including their combat power, tools, etc.). If you shout 666 like a salted fish throughout the game, then the ranking reward you receive in the end is basically not much different from turning into a crate when you land."

"Therefore, the rules of this game are relatively fixed, but it is impossible to predict how it will develop, because every player has their own ideas. If you trust others too much, you may be sold and earn money for others. Of course, as the designer, we are happy to see the situation where the players set traps for each other. "

"Then ... What's the profit model for this game?" asked Qian Kun.

"Same as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds," Chen Mo said,"you'll be charged for buying the game. The money you earn in the game can be used to buy a special appearance. You can use cash to trade and we'll take a transaction tax." Of course, in order to prevent the players from being exposed to the special appearance, all NPCs and players will be randomly given a special appearance after entering the game, just like how the robots are given skins in League of Legends. "

"Understood." Qian Kun nodded."I have one last question. The mechanics of world of martial arts are much more complicated than PlayerUnknown's Battleground. How do we solve the difficulty for players to get started? Also, isn't this game not very friendly to disabled players?"

Chen Mo explained,"it's simple, matching mechanism." Just like in PlayerUnknown's Battleground, each round was graded based on the player's performance, and the players with similar points were grouped together. In addition, in order to take care of the players with bad skills, the game will come with a combat assistance system. "

"To put it simply, if two players have the same starting attributes, whoever has the best technique will win. This is like how everyone in PlayerUnknown's Battleground is a contest of marksmanship. If your technique isn't good, then you'll have to practice."Other than that, if you obtain a special martial art, it will make up for your lack of control to a certain extent."

"For example, if you obtain a top-tier internal strength skill like muscle-bone strengthening Scripture and practice it, your health bar will be much higher than others. It will be very difficult for ordinary fist and palm techniques to cause you any harm. Or if you obtained a top-tier body movement technique like "carefree travel", then you would have a very high Dodge attribute. The system would automatically help you Dodge, so it would not be easy for others to hit you. If you get the 'Tai Chi Sword technique', even if your slash is off course, the system will automatically help you correct it. It's similar to micro-self-aiming. "

Qian Kun was shocked,"doesn't that mean that if A player obtains a bunch of ultimate skills, he can just use an a-skill to pass?"

Chen Zhao shook his head. The Wuxia World was a world with low magic. Even if you had peerless martial arts, you might not be able to defend against poison or defeat the siege of the top ten Masters. Even if a master who was weaker than you attacked you, he might still be able to kill you. Just like in Dark Souls, it hurt to slash others, but it also hurt to be slashed by others. You must know that while you're busy looking for a side adventure, others aren't idle either. It's difficult for players to have A big gap between them, so it's almost impossible to directly attack. "

"Taking ten thousand steps back, if you're really that amazing and got all the top martial arts, then you should really hang the others up and beat them up. It's like a master bullying a noob in League of Legends and PlayerUnknown's Battleground. "
