Chapter 163 Can games still do this?

"Pinch your face?" Lei Jun glanced at Shen Lang, then turned his head and began to try to operate.

A "standard face" is on the left side of the screen, and the words "nose", "eyes", "mouth" and "eyebrows" are on the right side. There are two left and right arrow marks on both sides of these facial features.

Lei Jun tried to click the arrow on the right side of the nose, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the nose on that "standard face" had changed into another shape. Just the change of the nose made the whole face completely different.

"This idea is good, a genius-like idea!"

As an old player, Lei Jun is well aware of how attractive such a personalized setting is to players. In the current online game market, when players have a stereotyped face, a face is "pinched" by himself. The face will give players a sense of belonging.

Moreover, Lei Jun found that not only the facial features can be "pinched", but also the face decoration, front hair, back hair, and tattoos can be freely selected. Otherwise, if you want to find a character exactly like yourself, it all depends on fate.

Wang Tao smiled wryly at Lei Jun and vomited bitterness: "Mr. Lei, this idea is indeed good, but it also tortured us a lot. Just this face pinching system, we stayed up late and worked overtime for more than a month, and collected tens of thousands of Shape the face, and then disassemble all the facial features, and make sure that the final pinch is not too ugly."

Lei Jun and Shen Lang looked at each other and smiled, and Lei Jun said to Wang Tao: "Your efforts will not be in vain. Once this face pinching system is launched, it will definitely cause a sensation."

After pinching his face for 10 minutes, Lei Jun finally had enough of playing, and clicked to create a character. This time, the familiar naming link finally appeared, but there was no career selection interface.

"Why did you enter the game before choosing a career?"

Wang Tao explained proudly: "At the beginning of our game, there is no occupational restriction. All players can enter Yangzhou after reaching the tenth level in Novice Village, and choose the sect to join from the sect guide."

Lei Jun frowned slightly: "You have to upgrade to level ten to experience the game's features? Will this affect the player's enthusiasm?"

While talking, the loading interface flashed by, and the character created by Lei Jun appeared on the screen. At this time, a female voice appeared.

"Welcome Shaoxia to enter the world of Jianyujianghu. Let's enter the novice tutorial. The left mouse button is for movement, and the right mouse button is for normal attack. You can also equip martial arts moves to the number keys 1-0, and press the number keys to use martial arts moves. .”

Lei Jun watched the novice tutorial attentively. He found that this game was more complicated than many games he had seen before, but to his surprise, after watching the novice tutorial, many operations were clear at a glance. Compared with the legendary Like Miracle MU, the novice tutorial of this game is simply a nanny-style tutorial.

Equipped with a pig-killing knife common to novices, Lei Jun manipulated his character and began to wander around the Novice Village. At this time, the beginner tutorial reminded: Shaoxia, the village head is frowning recently. It seems that he has encountered some difficulties. Follow Xiao Use the arrows on the map to help the village head out of troubles, his property is very rich.

Lei Jun glanced at the small map in the upper right corner, and manipulated the characters to go under a huge peach tree in the center of the village, and finally saw the old man with a huge golden exclamation mark on his head.

After completing the village chief's errand task, Lei Jun has already been promoted to level five. The whole process took less than 3 minutes, which made Lei Jun dispel a little worry.

Then Lei Jun helped several NPCs in the village to do some tasks, and soon rose to level ten. During this period, he also tried to go out of the village to fight monsters and upgrade. It was indeed possible, but because there was no blood-replenishing pill, it was difficult to fight monsters and upgrade. The speed is relatively slow, it is better to do tasks, but you can get some meat, fur and other sundries by killing monsters, which can be sold to grocery stores, and the income is not bad.

"Why don't these little monsters drop money?" Lei Jun asked a little depressed.

Wang Tao explained: "In the setting of Jianyujianghu, all beast-type monsters can't drop coins and equipment, only human-type monsters can drop equipment and money, but after leaving Novice Village, beast-type monsters will start to drop coins and equipment. Some materials for making equipment."

"You also designed lifestyle gameplay?" Lei Jun was a little surprised at the richness of this game.

Wang Tao looked at Shen Lang again, scratched his head and said, "Let Mr. Shen explain this. I don't quite understand. The life system is also Mr. Shen's idea."

Facing Lei Jun's surprised gaze, Shen Lang just smiled lightly and explained.

"Life-style gameplay is mainly to increase the lifespan of the game, and it is also a part of the economic system. Kimchi games such as Legendary and Miracle MU often collapse within a month or two, and many players don't even bother to pick up mobs. Dropped game coins, which undoubtedly greatly shorten the lifespan of the game.”

"In my opinion, if a game wants to retain players for a long time, it must make players never satisfied, so in the initial equipment setting of Jianyujianghu, I took two routes, one is to kill monsters The random attribute equipment that drops, that is, the legendary one, will have a chance to drop the best attribute equipment, and one is a fixed attribute + special attribute set through forging."

Lei Jun nodded thoughtfully.

Shen Lang paused and continued: "The fixed attributes of the forged suits are not as good as the top-quality equipment dropped by spawning monsters, but they are better than ordinary small top-quality equipment, and the forged suits can appear random attributes through identification. The value of the attribute will skyrocket, and the suit also has the activation attribute of wearing more than two pieces, which can attract players to build equipment."

"Building equipment will cost a lot of money, and it will also prompt players to collect the materials dropped by wild monsters, increasing the frequency of interaction between players. Some rich players can even purchase a large amount of materials to create the best suits they want. In this way As a result, players’ demand for game currency will increase greatly.”

Lei Jun looked at Shen Lang who was talking eloquently, and suddenly felt that this guy said that his strength is asset management, so it seems that he should not be bragging.

This is not over yet, Shen Lang continued: "Not only the equipment, but also life-related skills such as elixir, cooking, and brewing will consume a lot of game coins. Jianyujianghu is not the kind of game where you just stand around and click skills and take drugs indiscriminately , the elixir is cooled, the better the healing effect, the more expensive the elixir, and cooking food can temporarily increase some buff effects, and the same is true for brewing."

The more Lei Jun listened, the more he felt that the dozens of copper coins in his pocket were extremely precious, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"But in this way, the money is too little, will it dampen the enthusiasm of the players?"

Shen Lang smiled and looked at Wang Tao: "So at this time, it depends on our operation. When the game currency is insufficient, we must open some activities appropriately. Similarly, some activities can also be used to consume too much of the player's hand. How to control this speed is the time to test the ability of your operation team.”

Wang Tao couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard the words. He didn't expect that, playing a game, how could he feel like the central bank is regulating the economy?
Lei Jun was deeply inspired, it turns out that the game can still do this!
