Chapter 103 Super cool DLC

Chapter 103 Super cool DLC

After four days, Shen'en Editor and Shen'en Workshop are finally online!

The first batch of game MODs were "demo samples" made by Tianba Studio itself. The content was very simple and not many people downloaded it.

But immediately afterwards, the game MODs produced by players themselves became very interesting and strange, and the number of downloads was also very high.

There is a "Lightsaber" MOD!

After adding this MOD to the game, the "long sword" weapon in the game will become the same lightsaber in "Star Wars". Depending on the level of the weapon, the light effects will be different.

Not to mention, it’s pretty cool…

In addition to this lightsaber MOD, there is also a "Monster Attack" MOD, which replaces the monsters in the main game with the monster images from the tokusatsu drama.

This is also quite fun, but its nature is the same as the lightsaber MOD. It belongs to a fan, not an original creation.

The first game MOD that has commercial value and is original and non-infringing comes from an avid fan of the novel about cultivating immortals.

He gave all the equipment, props, and maps in the game new fairy-like names. He also replaced some of the props and equipment pictures, and the gold coins were also changed to spirit stones.

This MOD is very valuable, but unfortunately it is not perfect...

If this MOD can replace scene textures and animation effects, combined with the "personalized customization" service of Tianba Studio, there will definitely be an animation company interested in using it to make a Cultivation Fairy Animation.

The emergence of the Divine Grace Workshop has greatly increased the playability and interest of the game.

the most important is……

Watching animation is more enjoyable!

Although it is fun to watch tens of thousands of different world toilet paper anime, with the same theme and the same story background, I always feel bored after watching too many and lack a certain sense of freshness.

With the blessing of various game MODs, the otherworld toilet paper anime that was originally boring to watch suddenly became interesting.

Take "The Adventures of Jayne" for example.

Originally, the animation had been aired for so many episodes, and the audience had lost the freshness at the beginning.

But when everyone saw in the latest episode of the animation that Jayne actually changed to the "industrial" route, invented the "steam engine" and the "train" and presented them to the king, their expressions instantly stopped.

OK OK!

Can MOD still play like this?

Qian Xin is not the first person to think of integrating game MODs into Shen’en animation.

As early as the Shen'en Workshop was launched and a large number of interesting game MODs appeared, some people realized this and used weird game MODs to add a sense of novelty to the originally boring Shen'en animation.

The hero is in a different world, why can't he use a vending machine? Why can't I use my mobile phone or computer? Why can't I drive an excavator?

Many things that were only imagined and impossible before have become a reality overnight with the birth of a large number of game MODs.

This directly leads to...

The original popularity was about to dissipate. Because the Western fantasy world was spoiled and the audience had no interest in watching it, the Shen'en animation became popular again.

Everyone loves Shen En animation!

Previous Shen'en animations were generally more serious, and there were no such comic-style Shen'en animations.

Now there is!

The addition of game MOD has made the Shen'en animation, which was already showing signs of decline, once again become the audience's favorite. And this time, the subject matter is not limited to Western fantasy worlds.

At first, the game MOD was just a small effort, and the background framework was still a Western fantasy world, so it didn’t change much...

But since some professional MOD teams entered the scene and changed all the game backgrounds and scene textures, the Western Fantasy World has become a thing of the past.

Fantasy fairy tales, Japanese comic cities, cyberpunk, school idols...

There are all kinds of weird game MODs. For those who like to use "God's Grace Continent" to watch games, they are simply not happy.

But then again...

The current game MOD, because the permissions have just been opened, has not yet produced particularly good works, and there are no commercialization cases.

Time is still too short!

Maybe after some time, when everyone is fully prepared, there will be a game MOD that is eye-catching, attracts many animation companies to compete for, and has great commercial development value.

"Brother Ba, the Divine Grace Workshop is so useful, do we still need to make DLC?"

Xiao Lu hesitated and said: "I feel like the game MOD can also do what the DLC can do? Then, who will buy the DLC?"

"MOD can't make NPC."

"Future DLC will focus more on NPC."

Chen Ba patiently explained: "For example, we can make a few NPCs in a modern urban background, or we can make a few NPCs in a fairy tale background..."

NPC is the core of "God's Grace Continent". No matter how much players play with MODs, they can't come up with an NPC who lives in a modern city and accidentally travels to God's Grace Continent.

The first DLC is special NPCs such as undead, slimes and dragons.

Then why can't the second DLC be a Taoist priest, monk or nun from the mysterious East?

As long as you have the NPC generation program in hand, you can easily release a DLC without worrying about anyone buying it. After all, these special NPCs are only available in DLC and you can't find them anywhere else.

"I see."

Xiao Lu nodded, and then asked: "What about the new DLC of "The Survival Simulator"?"

After the release of the last decoration DLC, it received praise from countless players, and the sales of the DLC were also good.

Therefore, Tianba Studio, which originally did not plan to continue to produce DLC, after tasting the benefits, promised players that it would launch a new DLC for "The Simulator" before the end of this year.

It's almost the end of the year.

Xiao Lu felt that Brother Ba had probably forgotten this matter, and he needed to remind him, otherwise Brother Ba would have to be scolded by the players again.

"Living under someone else's roof..."

Chen Ba, who had not cared about this game for a long time, frowned and said, "Did I say this? Why don't I remember?"

That seems to be the case.

If I remember correctly, it was shortly after the release of the Decoration DLC that the development of "God's Grace Continent" just started.

At that time, the decoration DLC was selling well and the studio made a lot of money. It was reasonable for him to say such nonsense when he was happy.

"You did say..."

Xiao Lu said helplessly: "And I said it on the community forum. The post is still there, so I can't deny it."

If it was said casually, it would be easy to handle. After all, this is not the first time Brother Ba has talked nonsense. There is nothing he can do if he insists on cheating without evidence.

But this was something he posted on the Tianba community with a GameBugs authorized account. There were screenshots and witnesses, and so many people were watching. It would have a bad impact if his words didn’t count.

"That's okay."

Since it was him who said it, and someone took screenshots to preserve the evidence, Chen Ba was too embarrassed not to admit it.

Isn't it just a DLC? How can this defeat him?

joke!

All he has to do is use his smart little head and think about it for a moment, and the DLC is no problem at all.

In just half an hour, Chen Ba came up with a good DLC plan.

"What plan?"

As soon as they heard that Brother Ba had an idea, others gathered around and looked at Brother Ba with curiosity.

The issue of the new DLC for "Legendary Simulator" has been discussed within the studio once, but no results have been achieved from the discussion.

They really want to know, what does Brother Ba have to say about this? Isn't it the so-called college DLC, or the marriage DLC?

"It's not these..."

After waving his hands to signal everyone not to make blind guesses, Chen Ba then said, "I want to ask you a question. Please answer me seriously."

"what is the problem?"

"What do you usually do after you buy a house and decorate it?"

"Ah this..."

No one seemed to have expected that Brother Ba would ask such a strange and tricky question.

Does this have something to do with the topic they are discussing, which is the new DLC of "The Survival Simulator"?

"It does matter, and it matters a lot! You don't have to think about that, just tell me what you would do in this situation."

"This situation..."

Zhong Shengwei, who had returned from illness, was the first to speak: "You should invite relatives and friends to come over for a get-together, so that they can get to know their way around, so that they can't find the address of their new home, right?"

"That makes sense!"

"The house in Brother Ba's hometown has been built. It was decorated and officially moved in not long ago. Didn't uncle also hold a banquet?"

"In rural areas, you have to hold banquets to entertain your neighbors, relatives and friends. After all, the completion of a new residence is considered a big event..."

Around this topic, everyone started discussing it.

As expected, after what Zhong Shengwei started, everyone generally believes that after buying a house and decorating it, they should invite relatives and friends over to get together, or it could be in the form of a banquet.

Completing a new home and moving into a new home are major events in life, and it would be unreasonable not to celebrate them.

And like city dwellers, if you don’t tell your relatives and friends after moving to a new community, how will they know where you have moved?

If you are a bit low-key, or if you have few friends or relatives, you may just have a fire at home, book two tables in the restaurant, and entertain casually.

If you want to be high-profile, in rural areas or if you have many relatives and friends, you really have to organize a banquet and celebrate lively.

"You're right."

Chen Ba nodded and said, "You should all know that I built a self-built house for my dad in my hometown. It was renovated not long ago."

"My dad thought this was a big event and he should show it off to his relatives, friends and people in the village, so he organized a banquet himself and received a gift of more than 40,000 yuan..."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Brother Ba said this, and they all followed the ceremony at the time, so it was indeed the case.

"So here's the problem!"

After talking about his own affairs, Chen Ba changed the topic and said: "In reality, after buying a house and renovating it, I will officially move in, and I will hold a banquet to invite relatives and friends to get together, but what about in the game?"

Everyone: "..."

good! As expected of Brother Ba!

This idea is truly unheard of. It is a pioneer in the gaming industry and spreads Chinese unique culture to the world.

"My opinion is……"

Seeing everyone watching in shock without saying a word, Chen Ba reluctantly added: "We can make a DLC, and the main content is to hold a banquet."

"After purchasing the DLC, players can choose to host a banquet every time they buy a house and decorate it."

"The banquet has a cost, and the relatives and friends who come to the banquet come from the NPCs the player knows in the game and the relatives in the background story."

"Players are popular and have made many friends in the game. After hosting a banquet, the gift money received may be enough to make the down payment of the next house."

"If you are not popular, then you might lose money by hosting a banquet!"

How could it be a loss?

Xiao Lu scratched his head and asked: "Why are you losing money? There are not many guests coming, so we can host fewer tables..."

"Is there a possibility that not only are there not many people coming, but also the gifts given by others are few? Do you think it is a good deal to give you a dollar and eat at your table?"

Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, when accepting gifts, you have to pay attention to reciprocity. If you hold a banquet and accept gifts from others, then when they hold a banquet later, will you follow the gift?"

in his vision.

In the DLC, in addition to players being able to host banquets, NPCs that players have met will also host banquets from time to time, and the "Gifts" page will appear at that time.

You can do it with or without etiquette.

For gifts, you can decide the amount yourself. If you are stingy, give less, if you are generous, give more. It all depends on your own free will.

Anyway, courtesy reciprocates. The next time the player buys a new house and holds a banquet, whether the NPC will come to the banquet will all depend on how well the interpersonal relationships are done.

"So... so unique!"

Yang Dong said speechlessly: "With such a Chinese-style gameplay mechanism, are you sure you want to make it a DLC?"

"What, what's the problem?"

"no problem!"

Yang Dong sighed and said: "I was just wondering, if foreign players bought this DLC, would they feel..."

"This is called cultural export!"

Chen Ba curled his lips and said, "Isn't it good to let foreigners come and experience our worldly customs?"

Well, this is great!

Brother Ba said cultural export, that is, cultural export. He said so. Although others felt it was inappropriate, they could not find a reason to refute it.

"Then it's settled."

"In my hometown, the price for a meal and a gift usually starts at 20 yuan. Considering that everyone is not familiar with me, I will charge 10 yuan..."

After Chen Ba finished speaking, he was about to ask everyone what they thought of the pricing. Unexpectedly, everyone looked at him with "alien" eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Ba, people can't..."

Xiao Lu hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dare to say the second half.

He actually wanted to ask, what does DLC pricing have to do with his hometown’s gift standards? But then I thought about it, Brother Ba’s self-built house has just been completed, and Uncle Ba even held a banquet...

It seems to make sense.

No wonder Brother Ba wanted to create a banquet DLC. No wonder he priced it according to his hometown’s standard for gifts. It turned out to be a clever name to collect gifts from players!

When it comes to cyber banquets, it’s all about real money, right?

No matter whether Brother Ba has ulterior motives or not, and no matter whether players have random thoughts or not, at least the DLC plan is available and the pricing has been determined.

The next thing to do is to fill the DLC with content around the banquet...

For example, how many dishes are there on a table?

If there are 18 dishes, how many are meat and how many are vegetarian? How much does a table cost approximately? If the NPC gives a gift, how much will it cost?

Another point……

In the background of the game "Household Simulator", the player is staying at his aunt's house.

Will aunt and uncle come to have a feast? If you come, do you want a gift? How much is a suitable gift?

If the readers are interested, then I will build one...
