Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 172 Challenge Tower Reward: Mewtwo
"Can you copy it?"

Fujii Technology Headquarters, conference room.

Everyone sat together, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

Yin Jing asked the department manager with a serious expression.

It has been a week since the release of "Pokemon", and during this week, most of the users on the Fujii platform have lost.

Because "Pokemon" can only be played through the Fumei Technology platform or the official platform, other platforms are not authorized.

This leads to the loss of some players.

Moreover, "Pokemon" occupies most of players' free time, which indirectly leads to a decrease in the number of people online and a decrease in profits of Fujii Technology's online games.

In just one week, the number of daily active users on the Fujii platform dropped by 10%.

Of course, for Fujii, there is no way to break the situation.

Since Fumei Technology makes "Pokemon", then we can also develop a "Pokemon" and that's it.

But soon, Yin Jing and others noticed that this was not a simple matter.

There are dozens of attributes alone, and the various restraints are complicated, and it takes a long time to copy them.

Not to mention various skills, although each Pokémon can only use four skills, the problem is that there are too many options for matching these four skills with each other.

Offense, defense, buffs...

Until now, everyone in Fujii's scientific research team has been working overtime and still hasn't figured it out.

Why is the damage of one skill like this? The combined damage of two skills is doubled.

How does it calculate damage?

But what made Yin Jing collapse the most was the 'original painting'.

An important reason for the popularity of "Pokemon" is that the initial form of Pokémon is cute and the evolved form is domineering.

It is difficult for ordinary original artists to reproduce the essence of "Pokemon".

Even if it could, "Pokemon" has hundreds of Pokémon, and with all kinds of messy evolved forms, there are at least [-] original paintings.

Even Fujii Technology, which is a large company, cannot gather so many people in a short period of time.

Sure enough, facing Yin Jing's inquiry, the department manager stood up, shook his head and said:

"Yes, but it will take time, at least a month."

"One month..." Yin Jing tried to open his eyes wide, but finally sighed.

"Can it be shorter?"

The department manager shook his head: "No, although the gameplay content does not constitute plagiarism, the original painting cannot be copied, otherwise the other party will tell you exactly."

Original painting, source code.

These two things are the most direct evidence in the world to determine plagiarism.

Can be biased.

Although one is on the surface to tell you what's going on, it takes a lot of time to copy because of the large number.

The other one is even more helpless.

People rely on the cute appearance of Pokémon to get out of the entertainment industry. If you just copy the gameplay and don’t create a cute painting style.

Believe it or not, I will show you in a matter of minutes.

"It seems that we can only wait." Yin Jing murmured to himself.

His tone was full of decadence.

If it were other game companies, they might be embarrassed by their subsequent operational activities.

But if it were Fumei Technology led by Liu Wei, this would not be possible at all!

According to the perception of Liu Wei by people outside the industry.

He is definitely not a person who sacrifices long-term interests for immediate benefits!

……

Bai Xue came to the Challenge Tower and prepared to fight against players from all over the world.

In the Eighth Avenue Gym, Bai Xue initially wanted to get the rapid projections of the remaining seven gyms.

But then she realized that this was an impossible task.

In addition to the Rock Gym, the Pokémon of the follow-up owner not only has more, but also has dual attributes and more skills.

At the same level, it is impossible to achieve an instant kill with one hit.

At this time, it takes a lot of time to research the more suitable combination of Pokémon, the most suitable skill combination, and the most time-consuming characteristics.

There are eight gyms, and currently no one person occupies the projections of two gyms.

In addition, Bai Xue is not a scientific researcher who devotes himself to research.

Simply clear the level early and prepare to start fighting with other players.

"The Tower of Challenge can only be entered by players who have cleared the game story."

Shirayuki began to read the rules of the Challenge Tower.

"In the Challenge Tower, all Pokémon of the player are always at level [-], and they cannot choose mythical beast-level pets."

Bai Xue sighed as she looked at her backpack full of mythical beasts.

I spent so much time searching online for guides, but it didn’t work!
But then, Bai Xue got excited again.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. No one can use the mythical beast. Isn’t this back to the same starting line?
Moreover, this can also increase the playing rate of other Pokémon and increase the diversity of gameplay.

There are still many more complicated rules in the subsequent challenge tower.

For example, if a Pokémon's level is insufficient and you don't want to level it up, you can directly spend challenge coins to buy a level [-] Pokémon.

Of course, the racial value is average, after all, some care must be taken of the Gan Emperor players.

And the characteristics are completely random.

In other words, if you want to get a Pokémon that can play, risk your life to compete and win challenge coins.

Exchange pets, and then... just pray that God will give you a usable feature.

And you can also spend challenge coins to purchase various props, tree fruits, and even some props with unique characteristics, which can be purchased here.

After reading the rules, Bai Xue just stepped into the challenge tower.

Instantly blacked out.

Afterwards, the camera kept switching.

It has a humanoid body, all silvery white, with bulbous fingers, lavender abdomen and tail.

His purple pupils stared forward, as if he sensed that Bai Xue had noticed him.

He exerted a slight force on his tail, tightened his waist, and rushed directly to the void universe above!
Looks majestic and...cute?
As a dramatist, Bai Xue naturally knows what this is.

"Mew-two!"

In the game, she learned about the existence of Mewtwo through some trivial information.

But no matter what, she failed to catch the legendary pet.

I didn’t expect that I could redeem it directly in the Challenge Tower!
But when Bai Xue opened the exchange list and saw the number of challenge coins required by Chaomeng, her face fell.

"It actually costs a hundred challenge coins. Ordinary level [-] pets cost ten!"

Bai Xue's face was livid, and she started counting with her fingers:

"If you win a game, you will be given two challenge coins, and if you lose, you will be deducted one. If you win all [-] games, you can redeem it for Mewtwo. Isn't this simple for a technical person like me?"

Afterwards, Bai Xue started the battle with confident steps.

Two hours later, with tears in her eyes, Bai Xue turned back step by step and reluctantly left the City of Challenge.

She was tortured terribly.

From a theoretical and technical point of view, Bai Xue can definitely be ranked among the top [-] in the national server.

But as a battle player, Bai Xue is a newcomer who is as pink as pink.Facing old players who have been treacherous to black spots.

Bai Xue could only struggle hard under their whipping...and then failed miserably.

"I'll come back and challenge you when the system sends me three challenge coins tomorrow!"

……

In the Fumei Technology Experience Store, a person wailed the same way:
"Oh, these people are all a bunch of idiots, just playing dirty tricks here, right?"

"Okay, okay, let's see who's faster at playing or me."

On a computer, big failures take up the entire screen.

The two Pokémon on the left collapsed helplessly on the ground, while the Pokémon on the right enjoyed the flowers and applause.

Chen Yaohui got up angrily, turned on the computer directly, and began to knock on it.

When Li Qishan saw this scene, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "What are you doing here?"

Chen Yaohui said without looking back: "I'm going to send myself a Mewtwo."

Li Qishan was confused: "Chaomeng, doesn't it just have to have hands?"

Chen Yaohui glanced at him and said bitterly: "You are responsible for setting Pokémon's skills. Aren't you going up to do a dimensionality reduction strike?"

Li Qishan pointed at Yu Xinqi who was passing by: "She has one too."

Yu Xinqi smiled shyly and waved.

Chen Yaohui was furious when he saw Ou Huang passing by.

In the Ruby and Emerald version, although Mewtwo is set to be obtainable in the game, several conditions must be met at the same time.

Firstly, the location is fixed, and secondly, it must be visited in a main line process.

Too early or too late will miss the refresh.

And the game time must be from 8:00 pm to 12:00 am.
At the same time, you also need to carry a Pokémon that can defeat Mewtwo and prevent Mewtwo from escaping.

Once Mewtwo fights the player for three rounds, he will immediately use escape, and the success rate is as high as 100%.

Even if you meet the above conditions, there is still a fatal problem.

That's RP!

At the beginning of the design, Chen Yaohui wanted to increase the rarity of the Pokémon Mewtwo and prevent it from becoming a bad thing on the street.

Ordinary players only have a 1% chance of encountering it.

But... Yu Xinqi is different. She has the attribute of being a road idiot. She doesn't know why she suddenly ran to Chaomeng's refresh location.

As luck would have it, she actually met him.

As soon as they met, Yu Xinqi threw an ordinary elf ball.

As a result... I caught it directly!

In this regard, Chen Yaohui also specifically checked the background data.

The chance of finding a full-blooded mythical beast being caught by an ordinary Poké Ball in the first round is only one in [-].

With so many coincidences, Yu Xinqi happened to be the one.

Even when Liu Wei heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh: "Is this okay?"

Looking at Chen Yaohui who was furious, Li Qishan said: "Then you don't have to pay directly, just play a few games."

Chen Yaohui rolled his eyes at him:
"The world of ordinary people, geniuses and Emperor Ou don't understand at all!"

At this moment, Liu Wei also walked out.

"If you do this, I will start the account banning method!"

Chen Yaohui burst into tears: "Boss!"

He suddenly collapsed to the ground and hugged Liu Wei's thigh: "Boss, you don't want your most capable assistant to be without Chaomeng, right?"

Liu Wei was bursting with snot and tears, and Liu Wei wanted to pull it out but couldn't.

He had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, I'll teach you a style of play. This style should allow you to get Mewtwo."

In an instant, Chen Yaohui sat back on his seat, putting his hands and feet in order, just like an honest child.

Liu Wei first checked Chen Yaohui's elf.

Open the online device and view the sprites stored in the remote terminal.

However, one page, two pages, three pages...

Dozens of pages of Pokémon are stored in terminal boxes by category.

And all of them are level [-]!
Liu Wei and others glanced at Chen Yaohui, who was as obedient as a baby, in shock:
"Why are you catching so many Pokémon?"

Chen Yaohui said matter-of-factly: "Of course I have collected them. After all, every Pokémon is so cute, so of course I have to collect them all."

Liu Wei took a breath, pointed at four small fist stones and asked, "Is it necessary to catch four?"

Chen Yaohui shook his head and said in a tone that you didn't understand: "It's different. The small fist stone has two characteristics, one for each characteristic. If you distinguish between male and female, there will be four."

"It's a pity that there are still many Pokémon that have not been caught. After all, the ratio of male to female is a bit outrageous."

Liu Wei looked at the screen and was speechless.

Except for a very few Pokémon, there are basically more than four in each form, and there are a total of twelve in the small fist stone and its evolution form.

Not to mention others.

Chen Yaohui said triumphantly: "It's not over yet, I plan to spare some time to capture a set of flashing elves, a normal set, and a flashing set. Think about it and you'll be happy."

Liu Wei curled his lips and did not interrupt Chen Yaohui who was lost in his thoughts.

I'm afraid before happiness, you should think about your liver.

No wonder Chen Yaohui would rather modify the code to get Chaomeng.

With his level of obsessive-compulsive disorder, just thinking about modifying the code now is already a great deal of perseverance!

At this moment, Ling Jingwen's cold complaints came from the side: "Bad students have many toys."

Chen Yaohui turned around angrily, saw the person clearly and smiled coquettishly:
"Senior, you do it, you do it."

This is the artist who gave Pokémon the soul, so don’t let him offend you!

On the other side, Liu Wei was choosing the Pokémon he wanted.

Chen Yaohui's obsessive-compulsive disorder and liver emperor attribute just saved him a lot of trouble.

"Hey, what lineup is the boss choosing? It looks weak?"

Li Qishan's words drew everyone's attention back to the game.

At this time, everyone noticed that Liu Wei had chosen a few very strange Pokémon.

Bulbasaur, Wind Fairy, Nut Dumbbell, Tanabata Bluebird.

"These Pokémon, except for the Wind Fairy who is a double-playing evergreen tree, are not considered powerful Pokémon." Chen Yaohui was puzzled.

Li Qishan mobilized the database: "Now the mainstream is Haoli, Geng Gui, a Pokémon that produces violence, boss, you may be beaten violently."

Liu Wei opened the skill learner and said with a smile while learning: "You will know how disgusting this style of play is later."

Watching Liu Wei replace Bulbasaur's skills with 'poisonous' and 'guard' the 'substitute' and 'parasitic seed'.

Everyone is even more puzzled.

"What is the boss doing? Is there any output?"

"No, they all seem to be low-level continuous output skills. Maybe someone else will die in just two big throws."

But when they saw Liu Wei asking the Wind Fairy and the remaining two Pokémon to learn 'Poison' and 'Stand' as well, they all silently shut their mouths.

They realized that the boss really seemed to have something.

but……

It doesn’t seem like there are too many things!
