The Trickster's Ninth Episode

Ren Amamiya suddenly thought of an idea, which needs to jump out of the simple [experience] category and take another game form into consideration.

What kind of game can allow players to tolerate a relatively bad game experience and a large number of failures while having complex elements?

Some people may want to say soul like, but it is not. The prerequisite for a player to like soul like is that he has a heart that is not afraid of difficulty, refuses to admit defeat, and pursues a hard core.

These are traits that can only be possessed by relatively deep players, or those who are about to become deep players. They are not friendly to shallow players who are rushing to become stronger and more enjoyable.

Of course, this is not to say that the soul like can't be happy, but it needs more time and energy to be happy.

As the field of VR games has not yet matured, and both players and producers are immature, it is unwise to explore the difficulty and hard core.

Therefore, it is necessary to lengthen the gradient of difficulty to make the unknown novelty and the joy of growth visible.

In this way, the answer is ready to come out-roguelike games.

The roguelike game is a game concept with a history of decades, and it will be very complicated to explain. Here it can be simply understood as a game in which map props are randomly generated and game characters die permanently.

The content experienced in the game this time will disappear with the death of the character, and the next time you click on the game, you will get a new experience due to random elements.

The eternal classic of this game type is the famous "The Binding of Isaac".

What Ren Amamiya envisioned to do is [Biology Simulator], so, combining [Biology] and [Random], isn't it [Evolution]?

There have actually been many games with the theme of "evolution", but only a small part of them have been successful, and most of them are nondescript.

The reason is that the theme of biological evolution is too huge, and it contains too many elements. If the content of the game is not as good as the player's imagination, the player will think that your game is weak, and this is also worthy of the name. evolution?

But if you want to make the game content huge and rich, the first problem caused by the mixing of a large number of elements is countless bugs and optimization problems.

Many roguelike games limit the number of abilities players can obtain in one game. This is to balance the difficulty of the game, and on the other hand, it is also afraid of the game crashing.

Of course, restricting player growth in roguelike games is actually stupid, so they call it [mild roguelike].

One of the reasons why "Isaac" is so strong is that there are obviously a lot of props with messy functions in this game, but no matter how the players use the enhanced props, basically there will be no problems.If there is a problem, it is basically because there are too many special effects on the same screen, and the computer cannot afford it.

And this problem... It just so happens that Ren Amamiya doesn't have to worry about it.

Green skins never need to worry about their work not being able to run!

Coupled with the backing of Sophia and Kiritani Yui, the huge amount of knowledge and elements needed to explain biological evolution in the game can also be sorted out.

So now there are only two questions left, one is how to highlight the realistic biological simulation experience in the randomness.

This is actually very easy to solve, as long as you add the [Suit] setting in the game.It is assuming that the player has assembled all the evolutionary components of [Cat], they can get some additional attribute bonuses, and they can also add some neutral and negative entries, such as the estrus punishment just mentioned.

In this way, players are allowed to take the initiative to piece together existing creatures in reality or famous creatures in fantasy works during the game.

Another problem is... the style of painting.

Although Ren Amamiya can directly scan the appearance of all creatures in the world into the electronic world with a scanner in the puppet theater, but it is too real. On the one hand, it is not easy to pass the review. On the other hand, the appearance of some creatures may be confusing to some players Cause physical discomfort and even mental shock.

So it is not enough to be too real, which requires the coordination and unification of the painting style by Amamiya Ren.

This is creative work, there is no way to cheat with Sophia and Kiritani Yui.

Although I was very excited when I conceived the game, when I thought about the painting style, Ren Amamiya suddenly woke up.

If you really want to do this game alone...it will feel exhausting!

Chapter 190 The sixth sleepy army is about to go online?

"If I make a simulator for you, do you like a cat simulator or a car simulator?" Amamiya Ren asked the barrage.

Regarding the idea of ​​the new game, this time he can't do it alone. In terms of art, Ren Amamiya can be the lead artist, formulate a unified art style for the game, and then find a way to outsource a lot of work.

In addition, Ren Amamiya also needs to improve the game's mechanism, gameplay, numerical design, level design, etc. These contents can rely on Sophia's assistance to shorten the working time in the [production] stage, but they are also assigned to the [concept] stage. In creative work, it is impossible to cheat, it all depends on Ren Amamiya to figure it out.

So this new game won't come out for a while, but it doesn't mean Ren Amamiya will stop doing it. Currently, 80.00% of the game's Changxiang can be successfully completed, and as far as the initial creation is concerned , Yu Gonglian thinks it's quite interesting, if that's the case, let's set up a project.How to solve the remaining parts and then slowly figure out a solution.

The new game won't come out for a while, but the emulator mentioned at the beginning is still very simple to do.

On the one hand, it is simple, and on the other hand, it is now making this simulator game. It can be said that what is practical can be said to be the leftovers of the new game, which belongs to the repeated use of resources, and there is no need to use it for nothing.

In fact, Ren Amamiya is still in a state of inspiration. If he can, he can use a computer or notebook to write down the ideas about the new game, and then gradually improve it along the way.

But at this moment, it is still live broadcast after all, so the idea of ​​the new game can only be postponed.

There are two types of simulators for players to try out, one is biological simulators, but the only optional items are cats for the time being.

The other is a mechanical simulator, or a silicon-based life simulator, similar to Transformers.After all, if you want to say that it becomes a machine, then players will definitely not be satisfied with turning into a car appearance, and then being able to bend and twist like a creature, right?

Doesn’t the romance of machinery lie in the roar of the engine, the friction of parts, and the rhythm of the closing of the mechanism?

This is more troublesome, so Ren Amamiya will not make it too complicated, probably just get a trial version that can briefly transform between the locomotive and the robot.

After all, Ren Amamiya is quite familiar with the locomotive transformation. For example, Niijima's real persona Joan and Adina are locomotives and locomotive transformations respectively.

Another example is the "Kamen Rider Exaid" that Ren Amamiya is currently chasing, and there are similar plots in it.

At this time, a pediatrician rode by a forensic doctor.

[The cat simulator and the car simulator are okay. 】

[Carbon-based life or silicon-based life, it must be silicon-based! 】

[Is this still an option?Submit it quickly! 】

[It’s better to be a cat, no matter in terms of development difficulty or player experience, it’s more realistic to become a cat. 】

【It's cuter to be a cat!Why do you want to turn into a cold machine? 】

[We don't need to think about the difficulty at all, okay?You can always trust Brother Xiao's technical ability. 】

[Can I become a cat and play cats in the game! 】

[Maybe you can lick the cat's ass in the game after turning into a cat. 】

This should be hot knowledge that most people know, but to avoid being misunderstood by a few colored glasses, let’s popularize science. For cats, licking their ass and letting other cats lick their ass is the highest form of expressing kindness and intimacy.

Within the cat population, it is basically only brothers and sisters who have a good relationship, childhood sweethearts or mothers are allowed to do things.

【joke!Do I need to be a cat if I want to lick a cat's ass? 】

【? 】

【? ? ? 】

[Question statement warning! 】

Warm knowledge, which is different from the hot knowledge above-there will be shit shovel officers who will try the above behaviors in order to get closer to cats.

Cold knowledge that is different from the warm knowledge above - it is not necessary to have a good relationship with cats. If your cat understands human nature, it will be very normal to become a close friend, just like Morgana.

And the above... Forget it, don't know it, in short, those who think of chocolate and vanilla, please respect yourself.

"It seems that it is difficult to reach a consensus! Since this is the case, I will do both." Yu Gonglian looked at the barrage and probably could not argue about the specific result in a short time, so she stopped.

Anyway, as mentioned above, these are the reuse of resources, and Umiyaren is not at a loss anyway.

【! 】

【Fuck!Double the fun! 】

【Brother Xiao is our light! 】

【Great! 】

[Although it is very happy to have all of them, will Brother Xiao's workload be too much? 】

[Can the rest keep up?It's better to take care of your health first. 】

[Speaking of this, it is indeed a bit scary to think of Brother Xiao's release of "Trial of the Traveler" in half a month! 】

No, it didn't take as long as half a month.

[I also think it is better for Akira to pay attention to her body. 】

"You don't have to worry about my body! In addition to exercising every day, I will also ensure at least six hours of sleep." Amamiya Ren said to the barrage nonchalantly.

"Huh?! We can't pretend that we didn't hear that!" Morgana's eyes widened when he heard Amamiya Ren say this.

"You guy basically only sleeps for four hours every night, and the rest depends on making up for sleep during the day the next day. Is this also called a guarantee of at least six hours of sleep?!" Morgana was very indignant and dismantled Amemiya Ren. "Besides, it's not something you do every day to make up for sleep during the day. Sometimes you skip it when you're busy with other things. You can just go to bed early and be honest!"

"But I think sometimes I only sleep for four hours, and sometimes I sleep for eight to ten hours!" Ugonglian quibbled.

"Maintaining normal work and rest, is there room for tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall?!" Morgana jumped up and kicked Amemiya Ren.

Only a regular life can play a role in maintenance. Sleeping intermittently for 4 sleeps, 8 sleeps and 10 sleeps has the effect of wool!

Morgana's kick was naturally caught by Ren Amamiya.

"Today is your first post! Don't keep bringing me up to sleep, okay?"

"It's just to let the audience know what you are like in normal times! From now on, my fans will come to urge you to sleep when it's time to sleep!"

"What do you think your fans are?"

"Questions and answers are useless!!!"

The fight between Ren Amamiya and Morgana lasted for a while before it stopped.

Seeing in the bullet screen, Yu Gonglian seemed to have someone who was already eager to try the hypnosis, and sighed helplessly.

"Let's go back to the topic just now. Although it is decided to make both simulators, there must be a sequence."

"After the broadcast, I will post a vote on Twitter. According to the results of the vote, the simulator with more votes will be made first."

Then the one with the fewest votes will be released together with the trailer of the new game.

"Well! That's probably the case, but simulator games! I think it's better for you not to have too many expectations."

Chapter 190: The First Conception of the New Game

The initial distribution of Morgana has come to a successful conclusion.

Let Amamiya Ren evaluate it, generally speaking, it is quite satisfactory and interesting. The main problem is that Morgana's attitude is not very enthusiastic.

After all, Morgana is a life born from the inner world, a bit too far away from the real world and society, with a sense of distance in the world.

He is like Ren Amamiya when he just debuted, he is not enthusiastic about the profession of vtb, even more indifferent.

Fortunately, this live broadcast allowed him to form some awareness of actively interacting with the barrage...Of course, it may not be active. Morgana is more likely to be aware of the barrage and the audience occasionally. .

"Anyway, I've worked hard today." Ren Amamiya and Morgana, who also got off the assembly line from the landing module, finished talking, looking at the mobile phone beside them. "And Sophia too, thank you for your hard work."
