Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 171 Quickly pass the level!

Players in the live broadcast room were shocked when they heard Liu Wei's thoughtful reply.

"There are only dozens of attributes that restrain each other. Can you just memorize them a little?"

"Is your person?"

"Am I the only one who pays attention to so many attributes? Will the gameplay of this game change a lot?"

"But too many will make it difficult for players to get started."

"It's true..."

Seeing these barrages, Liu Wei calmly took a sip of tea.

The restraint relationships of dozens of attributes seem a lot difficult.

But the game has a very complete 'teaching'.

As long as the player follows the process and completes the game, he will be almost familiar with it by the end.

Moreover, some scarce attributes only have a mutual restraint relationship with other scarce attributes.

Has no effect on common attributes such as fire, grass, water, ground, flying, etc.

Liu Wei waited for half a minute and looked at the next barrage again:

"I'm a girl. I'm attracted by the cute little elves in this game. Could you please dress up the little elves? I'm willing to spend any amount of money."

"Well..." Liu Wei fell into thought.

He admitted that he subconsciously ignored this.

Male players and female players have completely different emphasis on games.

Male players are more interested in the results of the game and do not pay much attention to the process.

Female players, on the other hand, are more focused on the game process.

Take an obvious example.

Playing a ranked game of "ioi", some people are attacking, grabbing troops, grabbing buffs, and betraying teammates.

Male gamers tend to curse in front of the screen, but they don't show it in the game.

But when the game is almost over.

They will nod their heads wildly and send a cordial and friendly greeting to all the women on the opposite family tree.

But if they are female players, they will most likely choose to mess with each other on the spot.

You make it uncomfortable for me to play, and I won't let you have fun.

Of course, if you switch to a simpler and easier-to-understand example.

Male players pay more attention to the thrilling results, while female players will enjoy the full process.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Wei muttered:
"This option is not currently available in the game, and we will not be adding this functionality in subsequent updates."

"However, in the middle of the game, there will be a beauty contest. You can dress up your Pokémon in the beauty contest and let them win the championship."

"At the same time, there will also be a Poké Ball sticker function to make the special effects when you release Pokémon unique."

Liu Wei's idea is very simple.

As a stand-alone game, if the dress-up function is added, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the cost and selling price of the game.

This is not friendly to the promotion of the "Pokemon" IP.

But if it is used as part of the gameplay in a game, it is very good to add some fun.

Of course, Liu Wei didn't say anything too harshly.

The PC version will definitely not add this function, but the AR and VR versions can depend on the situation.

After he finished speaking, the barrage in the live broadcast room was beyond Liu Wei's expectations.

"What, you can't dress up as an elf, I'm very angry!"

"I don't know why, but when I heard that I couldn't pretend, I was relieved and a little sad at the same time."

"Angry, why doesn't it have a dress-up function? I'm not short of money!"

More than 90% of these comments come from male users.

In other words, male players prefer to dress up Pokémon compared to females.

Everyone in Liu Wei was dumbfounded.

Damn it, you guys are poisonous.

I usually ask you to go shopping with your girlfriend, but your legs will become weak after half an hour, and you will say "Okay, okay, okay" to everything. '

Now that you're in the game, why are you so keen on dressing up? !

But some barrages that followed left Liu Wei momentarily speechless.

"What a shame, I'd also like to try putting a beard on Pikachu."

"I want to give Squirtle a wig, one with no hair in the middle. It will look very interesting."

"A bunch of perverts, I'm much more normal. I just want Charmander to dress up."

"...bt!"

The corners of Liu Wei's mouth twitched slightly.

At the same time, I secretly made a decision in my heart.

In any case, "Pokemon" and its PC sequel decided not to include a dress-up function.

Otherwise, the devil knows what these players will come up with.

Maybe it will actually turn Pikachu into Godzilla!
Liu Wei looked at the barrage again:
"Excuse me, what's the use of Magikarp's thing? It's useless except for a water splash!"

Faced with this question, Liu Wei responded very kindly:

"Meikarp are a social creature. When you catch a hundred Magikarp, incredible things will happen."

"As for what it is, you will naturally understand it by then."

In order to prove the authenticity of his content, Liu Wei also went out of his way to sell it out.

The barrage at this time:
"??? I always feel very strange, but I can't tell what is strange."

"Will Liu Wei be so kind as to tell us the hidden content?"

"No, think about it upstairs, even if you tell us, catching a hundred Magikarp is very rare, and most people will definitely not be able to persist."

"...that's true."

"I'll give it a try when it starts airing later."

Seeing these barrages, Liu Wei chuckled.

Go ahead, go ahead, even if you catch a hundred of them and nothing happens, you can't come along the network cable and hit me.

In the remaining time, Liu Wei gave "warm" answers to the questions raised by novice players.

"The difference between manual capture and automatic capture... Manual capture means you have to wave your arms in front of the screen. If you shout 'Go, Poke Ball' at this time, the success rate will be greatly increased."

"Which one should Yu Sanjia choose... Of course, it is the invincible Charmander. It has a cute appearance and powerful skills. It is very cool after evolution. The main point is that it has miraculous effects on rock gyms~"

"The difference between the Poké Ball... The Master Ball is useless, use it if you have it, the later the Speed ​​Ball is used, the higher the success rate, and the Time Ball must be used as soon as possible..."

“Which version do you recommend to buy, ruby ​​or emerald? Of course, buy them all. Don’t you want to own the entire Elf Illustrated Book?”

"Will there be an online function in the future? This game has its own online function, dear, but it does not support two-player combat."

"When will "Guigu Bahuang" be updated...fork out, you are not welcome in this live broadcast room!"

"When will a new hero be released in "ioi"... It's soon, it's already very soon. Skins based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas are currently on sale. Everyone can support it. The more new heroes are sold, the faster it will be."

The friendly question and answer session lasted until twelve o'clock.

After it ended, the popularity of "Pokemon" reached a new high.

Sales are also rising again and again.

Other gaming companies have taken notice.

Concentrate on trying to create another Pokemon. 》

As for whether it will succeed?
no one knows.

But these game companies and designers all know that if Liu Wei and his Pokémon are left alone.

Maybe Fumei Technology really wants to be the only one company! ...

"Hello, everyone, I am your dear anchor, Bai Xue."

"Today, we will challenge the Rock Gym."

Bai Xue was wearing cool clothes and had just taken a shower. Her wet hair was draped casually on her shoulders, and she stared at the camera with big bright eyes.

"Although we have already defeated it once, our goal this time is rapid projection!"

In the game, the heroine controlled by Shirayuki is standing in front of the rock gym.

As Bai Xue's voice fell to the ground, she walked in with big strides.

The decor of the Rock Gym is very rough.

Various stone ornaments emerge in endlessly, and even the owner of the museum is sitting on a rock chair.

As soon as I walked into the gym, I saw two holographic projections in front of me.

There is one on the left and one on the left, which are the 'First Pass Projection' and the 'Rapid Projection'.

The 'first pass projection' is basically owned by the Gan Emperor, and these people don't play the game process at all, they just focus on getting through the level, and the competition is who can pass the level first.

But 'rapid projection' is different.

This projection is the most valuable. It will be comprehensively evaluated based on the level of the elf used in the battle, attributes, number of rounds, number of props, etc.

To put it simply, the more you defeat your opponent in the shortest round with the most suitable pet and the lowest level, the more qualified you are to be on the list.

As soon as Bai Xue took a step forward, a gym member rushed out from beside him and shouted:

"Do you want to challenge the gym leader? Then pass me first."

But then, Bai Xue directly sent out Squirtle, killing him instantly with a bubble.

Then he easily defeated another member and came to the front of the gym leader.

Seeing a challenger coming.

The owner jumped down from the stone seat and jumped in front of Bai Xue:
"Are you here to challenge me too? Then feel the power of the rock."

After saying that, the owner took out the small fist stone.

There is only a bumpy body, with powerful fists growing out of both sides, and a pair of determined eyes looking at the enemy.

Small fist stone, level 15.

Not to be outdone, Bai Xue directly sent out Squirtle, also at level fifteen.

"Squirtle, it's a water gun attack."

In front of the screen, Bai Xue raised her little hands and shouted the name of the move loudly, without any feeling of shame.

next second.

A stream of clear water spurted out from Squirtle's mouth, rushing towards the small fist stone quickly and hard.

Followed by.

In the picture, the small fist stone was shot directly into the sky by a powerful water gun and disappeared? !

Just when everyone was shocked, a system prompt appeared.

【Excellent effect! ! ! 】

[Little Fist Stone was instantly killed! ! ! 】

At this time, Bai Xue explained to everyone: "This is an execution animation."

"It will only be triggered when using skills with conflicting attributes and killing the opponent with one hit. This is also the first time I have been punished!"

But the focus of everyone’s attention is obviously not here:
"I'll go, fight level [-] at level [-], instant kill with one move? Let's hang up!"

"It's outrageous. When I hit this, I used the little Charmander to grind it to death for a long time."

"Hacking the anchor, I have already reported it!"

Seeing these barrages, Bai Xue smiled and assumed the posture of a teacher:
"I saw that you didn't watch Liu Wei's live broadcast well yesterday. You will all go watch the replay for me later!"

"When attributes conflict with each other, additional damage can be caused."

"Rock elements will take double damage when facing grass and water elements."

But some water friends immediately raised questions:

"Although I use the Frog Seed to hit it very easily, it won't be able to kill it in one hit!"

"Yes, I am also Squirtle, but it took me several rounds to deal with the opponent, and I also used a bottle of healing potion on the way."

"My little fire dragon..."

"Charmander is not worthy, get out of here!"

Bai Xue raised a finger and continued the class:

"First of all, I specifically used level [-] Squirtle. This level is just before the change, and it won't deduct many points."

"Secondly, in order to improve Squirtle's special attack, I have been using bubbles to upgrade since I learned how to use bubbles. This is related to the hidden setting of 'effort value'."

"To put it simply, the more skills related to a certain racial value you use before upgrading, the greater the possibility and value of improving that racial value after upgrading!"

"Third, this is also a point that many people overlook. The Squirtle bloodline I use now only has a trace."

"As for Squirtle's characteristic (Riptide), when HP decreases, the power of water-type moves will increase."

"Finally, the props I bring also increase my special attack!"

"Have you noticed these details? Have you done them well?"

"If you don't do these things well, why can you kill the opponent instantly in one round?"

Hearing Bai Xue's narration, the water friends in the live broadcast room were shocked instantly:

"I'll go, there are so many details, I don't even know!"

"Ashamed, I only know one race value, I really don't know the effort value."

"I always thought that characteristics were dispensable, but I didn't expect them to be so important?!"

"That's not right. Why is it that when I use fire-type attacks with the remaining health of the Charmander, it still has little effect?"

"The guy upstairs didn't learn attribute restraint in the first class, so he took me back to make up for it!"

"I thought you were a good-looking anchor, but I didn't expect you to be a technical anchor?!"

"Wait, why don't I have the props for special attack?"

As the Little Fist Stone fell to the ground, the Rock Hall Master summoned another Pokémon, Big Rock Snake.

But when facing Squirtle, who had residual health and full effort, he was still knocked away by a single blow.

In the end, Bai Xue won the Rapid Projection with a proud record of ending the game in three rounds.

Seeing his own reflection standing in the rock gym, Bai Xue couldn't help but laugh.

This means that as long as other people are online when challenging the Rock Gym, they will see your name.

At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room, a barrage of '666' also came like a tide.

But Bai Xue waved her hand in a rare and shy manner:
"Oh, it's just good luck."

"Because the small fist stone has strong properties, this property can prevent him from being killed with one hit when he is full of blood. I was lucky. The small fist stone does not have strong properties, otherwise it might be counter-killed."

Hearing this, the water friends in the live broadcast room were even more surprised.

"I'll go, so detailed?!"

"You even know that the small fist stone has strong properties. How long have you been studying it, Bai Xue?"

"It's over, I feel like we're not playing a game."

"To be honest, I have already cleared the level, but after hearing what Bai Xue said, I suddenly had the urge to play it again."

"Me too, I relied on level and multiple Pokémon to crush them all the way, and I didn't pay attention to these details at all."

"After seeing what the anchor did today, I decided to buy one to play with!"

Bai Xue raised her head proudly, like a proud white swan:

"Okay, let's continue playing. Liu Wei said that we should enjoy every scene on the adventure, so we have to talk to everyone next."

"The one in front who has no props is just reckless at first glance. If you don't talk to the NPC, talk to the NPC and you will get some very useful props."
