Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 128: Divergent thinking, bold innovation

05:30 in the afternoon.

Chu Yun watched other employees leave one after another. He did not pack up his belongings, but continued to discuss the game planning plan with Wang Ning.

Mr. Liu just said that Wang Ning can stay and work overtime.

And I have to discuss the specific gameplay of the game with Wang Ning, so in disguise it is equivalent to Mr. Liu agreeing to work overtime.

The corners of Chu Yun's mouth curled up slightly.

He felt that his life was very fulfilling... Thinking of this, he continued to discuss with Wang Ning.

……

eight pm.

Chu Yun looked at the dense documents on the computer, glanced at Wang Ning who looked tired, exhaled and said, "That should be it."

Wang Ning nodded, but said again: "Let's take a look again, after all, it is for Mr. Liu's purpose."

Chu Yun nodded and scrolled the document to the top: "First of all, the price of the weapon is as high as 888. Mr. Liu said that there is only one profitable prop in this game, so the performance of the weapon determines the profit level of the game."

Wang Ning agreed: "I agree. If the price/performance ratio is too low, no player will want to buy it. However, if the weapon is too over-the-top, it will destroy the balance of the game. This is a difficult point to balance."

"So I agree more with the first option, which is to sell weapon skins. The skins do not affect the power of the firearms. This is the solution adopted by "Ultimate Mission"."

Chu Yun shook his head: "No, the key to selling skins in "Ultimate Mission" is not the quality of his skins, but his excellent feel and powerful IP. At present, we cannot do this, whether it is user experience or User feel."

As he spoke, he moved the mouse to the second title: "And Mr. Liu is not the kind of person to do whatever he thinks of. The three requirements put forward by Mr. Liu must influence and promote each other. As long as we understand these Point, this problem is easily solved.”

"Mr. Liu put forward three requirements in total, innovation, imbalance, and high-priced firearms. I prefer to design supermodel firearms..."

"As for the supermodel's firearms that will destroy the balance..." Chu Yun thought for a while and suddenly remembered what Mr. Liu said at the meeting. He clapped his hands happily and said, "I understand!"

"Mr. Liu once emphasized 'team collaboration' rather than 'team competition' in terms of innovation, so why don't we change the focus of the game from pvp to pve?"

Wang Ning suddenly understood, and then said: "Ultimate Mission is already the leader in PVP, so Mr. Liu wants to fight in a roundabout way and focus on PVZ."

As he spoke, Wang Ning excitedly muttered to himself: "And in this way, Mr. Liu's request can be easily realized. In the PVZ confrontation, the team's collaboration ability is indeed valued more, and this way the balance can be achieved The problem is also easy to solve. Just strengthen the weapons without thinking, so that super model weapons can naturally be sold..."

Chu Yun nodded and shook his head: "No, it's not just that simple. If Mr. Liu really wants us to do this, why should we make FPS games instead of MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) would be better? ), anyway, it’s one role and one career that will last until the end.”

"So my idea is that players can choose their arms when they are born. Different arms have different abilities and firearms. For example, the heavy arm has machine guns, the assault arm has double guns, and the medic has an adrenaline pump..."

"But this still can't reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the arms more directly. We can add some skills to those characters. For example, the heavy arms are equivalent to T, thick blood, large in size, and can open the shield wall, while the charge arms can achieve Double jump, run on the wall..." "Then add an ultimate skill, such as perspective, headlock, teleportation, resurrection, invincibility..."

"But in this case... there is no way to solve the problem of supermodel weapons." Wang Ning frowned and added, "And there must be some strong units and some weak units, such as medical soldiers, which are definitely necessary for the team. "

Chu Yun also fell into thinking.

Lao Wang is right, as long as it is a team game, the nanny profession can be less, but there must be one.

And in this case, how to make weapons?
If a profession makes an 888 weapon, it will be directly blasted by players even before it goes online. It would be too ugly.

"Perhaps, we can separate these two." Chu Yundao said.

Lao Wang was confused: "Separate?"

Chu Yun nodded, randomly found a popular mmorpg game and said: "Separate pvp from pvz. In pvz mode, this weapon is universal for all professions, and the values ​​​​are very abnormal. You can easily lead a team through the level."

"But in pvp mode, this firearm is basically useless, and it is even less powerful than ordinary weapons."

Wang Ning: "Then who will buy it? Whoever buys it will be taken advantage of."

"Listen to me first." Chu Yun said: "But this weapon looks very cool... It's not just cool, it can also be integrated with other firearms. Do you understand? It is equivalent to the accessories of other weapons and can be slightly improved. The power of basic weapons.”

Wang Ning suddenly realized: "I understand, this weapon is exclusive to pvz, but at the same time, it can be integrated into other characters' weapons in pvp, changing the shape and power of the character's weapon."

"Moreover, buying an 888 supreme weapon like this means that all characters can use it. As long as there are enough professional characters, the average price is actually even lower than the price of guns in other fps games."

Chu Yun agreed: "And in order to increase the characteristics of 888 Supreme Weapons, my idea is to continuously increase the types of basic weapons in the game."

"For example, the same machine gun can be divided into different types, such as increasing damage, increasing rate of fire, increasing stability, etc. It can even enhance the character's own professional skills, which is equivalent to job change in mmorpg..."

"Normal, blue, purple, epic, supreme. Except for supreme, which needs to be purchased with money, other weapons can be purchased with virtual currency or exploded through pvz mode."

"While increasing players' online time and game playability, it also adds the advantages of supreme weapons."

Wang Ning nodded and added:

"I thought of some good ideas. We can add additional gameplay, such as adding zombie battle mode and mecha battle mode to the unfair battle mode. Anyway, we have reached this point. It doesn't matter if it is more perverted."

Chu Yun nodded excitedly: "And this way, it will be easier to write the plot, Resident Evil, Pacific Rim, Star Wars, Predator... In this way, I can copy freely... cough cough cough reference. "

"As for the main storyline of the game..." Chu Yun thought for a while, and said, "We can set up a little girl, the kind of cute little girl, but she can't speak and is dumb. She will guide the protagonist to complete the task step by step, but In the final incarnation to become the ultimate boss, he took out Gatling and killed the protagonist group with his backhand..."
