Chapter 160 Marble Continent, strength comes first!

Chapter 160 Marble Continent, strength comes first!

The successful holding of the "Love Staff" million-person blind date conference made many leaders remember Tianba Studio.

This game is great!

Don't ask what's good. Asking questions like this shows that your little comrade's consciousness is not high enough and you need to hone your skills.

The official media took turns to report on it, and even a news channel aired an interview with his face, which really made Chen Ba extremely happy.

But happy to be happy.

He also felt embarrassed by the suggestion that "this kind of event will be held more often in the future."

Organizing such an event is nothing for Tianba Studio, but for players, it is a bit annoying to frequently engage in such activities.

Chen Ba doesn't want to offend the players.

Therefore, he can only say that he will try his best to meet Duoduo's requirements for holding similar events to a certain extent.

After the interview, I was probably bored.

Chen Ba did not accept interviews from other media except the official media. He hid in the studio and shut them out on the grounds of "concentrating on developing new games."

This is not entirely a pretext.

It was a fact that Tianba Studio was developing a new game, and he really didn't have much time during the game development process.

"Now there is a very embarrassing thing, that is, what should our new game be called?"

In the entertainment and leisure area of ​​the studio, Chen Ba leaned on the sofa, rubbed his eyebrows and asked: "The Legend of Coastal Pinball? The Strongest Pinball Superman? The names you have chosen are a bit difficult to use!"

Xiao Lu: "..."

It’s bad, I was dissed by Brother Ba!

Both of these names were chosen by him. He thought they were very good, so he dedicated them to Brother Ba.

Judging from Brother Ba's words, he doesn't seem to be satisfied with these names?

“How about Pinball Legends?”

"It doesn't feel as good as Corniche Pinball Legend..."

Chen Ba complained: "What a legend? Don't you think this kind of name is vulgar? It has no characteristics at all!"

"But besides these names, what else can it be called? There can't be a game name without the word marbles, right?" Zhong Shengwei scratched his head and asked.

"sure!"

Chen Ba nodded: "Who stipulates that the word pinball must be added to the name of a pinball game?"

"Without marbles..."

Zhong Shengwei said thoughtfully: "What about the campus situation? Don't leave after school? I'll wait for you at the school gate?"

"It's okay not to leave after school!"

Chen Ba seemed to hear the name that made him extremely satisfied, and nodded repeatedly.

Don't leave after school?

These four simple words seem to have nothing to do with the content of the game, but in fact they are inseparable from the game. After all, isn't the content of their game "Don't leave after school"?

"But this name is a bit confusing."

"Just by looking at the name, it's hard for players to know what kind of game this is. How about adding a subtitle after "Don't leave after school", "Don't leave after school: Pinball Storm"? "Someone suggested.

"Can!"

Chen Ba agreed.

He was very satisfied with "Don't Leave After School", but this title couldn't intuitively display the content of the game, so he added a subtitle of "Pinball Storm".

That would be perfect.

The new game is officially named "Don't Leave After School: Pinball Storm"!

After the game name is determined, the rest of the work is easy. You can directly use the game name instead of referring to "that game" or "this game".

"Is the marble pattern done?"

"finished!"

Xiao Lu took out his tablet and introduced it to Brother Ba: "We have made about 230 different marble colors, and we have divided them into different grades according to their beauty."

Marbles come in different patterns and colors.

Different colors and patterns represent completely different values ​​in childhood. Marbles with special patterns or special colors are more precious than ordinary glass beads.

Beyond that, there are sizes.

Most glass beads are the same size, but there are a few glass beads that are surprisingly large!

These also need to be distinguished in the game to prevent players from confusing concepts and not being able to tell which glass beads are bigger and more precious.

"We designed a combat system!"

"Glass beads of different colors and patterns will have different powers. When two glass beads collide, combat special effects will be triggered..."

Xiao Lu gave an animation demonstration.

In the demonstration screen, a green-patterned marble collided with another marble with red spots on the surface.

At the moment of the collision, both marbles activated their respective marble souls. The green marble was a green-skinned frog, while the red-light spotted marble was a cheetah.

The cheetah defeated the frog easily.

As a result, the red-spotted marble remained motionless, but the green-patterned marble bumped into it and was knocked away a long distance.

"this……"

When Chen Ba saw this, his expression became serious and he said, "Is it too abstract? Who would encounter this situation when playing marbles?"

"It's okay, this is just a special mode. If you don't like it, you can also choose the classic mode without Marble Soul."

Xiao Lu explained: “The main purpose of this mode is to provide players with more diverse gameplay options.”

"For example, in this Pinball Soul mode, in this mode, the player's marbles have the ability to grow. Defeating marbles of the same level will increase the level of the Pinball Soul."

"The higher the level, the more powerful the marble soul is, and it can defeat other marble souls and win easily..."

Special mode?

Hearing this, Chen Ba nodded.

Since there are classic modes and special modes, it's hard for him to say anything. After all, just play whatever mode you like to play.

It's impossible to force others not to play a mode just because you don't like it, right?

"Soul of Marbles" is a special mode created by Xiao Lu.

In this mode, each marble has different attributes such as health, attack power and defense. Just like in an RPG game, players need to fight monsters and upgrade, improve their marble souls along the way, and finally win the game.

There is also a "Marble Rush" mode.

The player is possessed by the perspective of the marble, rolling the marble through various strange tracks, and finally breaks through many obstacles and rolls to the key line.

An alternative racing mode!

So far, Xiao Lu and Zhong Shengwei have developed nearly six or seven special modes, each of which is unique.

certainly!

The core is still the classic mode.

In the classic mode, there are not so many bells and whistles about marbles. The only way to play is to win the game, and there is no other way to play.

Players are relatively freer.

Perhaps considering the special nature of the classic mode, Xiao Lu did not dare to do too much with this mode. How he played it when he was a child is how he plays it in the game.

But then again...

Although it is a game based on childhood memories, it is a game after all, and it still has the virtual features it should have.

Reflected in the game, that is, the marbles in the game "Don't Leave After School" will be more thrilling and exciting to play than in reality.

The reason is also very simple.

In the game, the game modes, game maps, etc. are all made by Tianba Studio. Only the core body marbles, Chen Ba adopted the solution of Tiehanhan system.

The marbles produced by the Tiehanhan system not only have the appearance of real marbles, but are also more powerful than real marbles. It is not a big problem to break an iron door.

This is actually for game effect.

Complete simulation is impossible. After all, you have simulated it, so why should I still play this game? Isn’t it possible to just buy a few marbles and play them in real life?

Appropriately exaggerating the power of some marbles is also to make the game more fun.

…

The development work of "Stay After School: Pinball Storm" was not deliberately kept secret from the outside world.

This also leads to.

Players in the Tianba community and Tianba game fan group have actually heard of this game for a long time.

However, no one paid much attention to it. After all, Brother Ba said it was just a childhood memory of pinball games.

What's there to say about playing marbles?

what!

This marble of yours can turn into a two-dimensional cute girl, so you can chat with your brother to relieve your boredom?

"Brother Ba, why don't you develop a two-dimensional game? I want a cute wife..."

"Don't go crazy here in the second dimension!"

"With Brother Ba's aesthetics, even if a two-dimensional game is developed, it probably won't be the cute wife you imagined."

"What else can she be if she's not a cute girl?"

"Brother Ba's understanding of the second dimension may be different from what you understand. Have you ever played Kara Picchu? The Starry Sky Emperor Paper Man carries Gatling and beats the Great Demon King of Divine Grace. This is Brother Ba's second dimension!"

"I testify that Brother Ba is like this..."

slander! Pure slander!

After working, after scanning the chat history of the fan group, Chen Ba's face turned dark.

What is Ba Ge's single-cell organism? Maybe he can't understand the second dimension? What he said was as if he had never played a two-dimensional game.

Just kidding, he often plays two-dimensional games, how could he not understand what everyone is talking about.

only……

I know that Chen Ba is powerless to respond to the demands of some players, which is to develop a game with a higher concentration of two dimensions.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to be a second player.

The main reason is that the second game relies heavily on original animators and script characters, and these two are precisely the weakest parts of Tianba Studio.

After suffering several losses, Tianba Studio has not made a game that is more plot-oriented for a long time.

No matter Xiao Lu or Zhong Shengwei, including the dozen or so other people in the studio, no one is good at this aspect, and most of them are half-full.

At this level, if you want to make a game with too high a two-dimensional concentration, what else can you do besides making jokes? You don’t really think that you can pick up two-dimensional money with a sack, do you?

It’s not that easy to make money!

Aren’t the Pig Factory and the Goose Factory envious of the rise of the Mi family? Have these major manufacturers never thought of entering the field of two-dimensional games?

They've all tried it.

But unfortunately, they obviously do not have the ability to make this money. I thought it was easy to make money in the second dimension, but it turned out that the second dimension was not that easy to fool.

This is true for all major manufacturers, let alone Tianba Studio.

Chen Ba would not think that he could go to the second dimension to pick up money while carrying a sack. If he really dared to listen to the players' slander, he would probably die violently on the second day of the game.

"But the plot aspect really needs to be strengthened."

Chen Ba feels that there is a very good opportunity to practice his skills right now, and that is the game "Don't Leave After School: Pinball Storm".

Although it is an online game, it still has the necessary plot and story background.

"In Pinball Continent, strength comes first!"

"This is the world of marbles. There is no fancy magic, only marbles that have multiplied to their peak..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Xiao Lu was halfway through chanting the Bible when he was stopped by Chen Ba.

I saw him complaining with a dark face: "I asked you to come up with the background of the story, and you came up with this?"

"I can't think of it!"

Xiao Lu said with a bitter face: "This is just a nostalgic childhood game of playing marbles. How can there be any story background?"

"If not, just make one up!"

"This is a marble world. Under the radiance of the God of Marbles, everyone practices marble skills since childhood, and is divided into grades one to six according to their strength..."

Chen Ba invented a world view.

In this world, children practice marbles from an early age, and this is a competitive event that everyone participates in.

The starting point of the story, which is also the background of the game, takes place in a marble elementary school. Players will play the students of this elementary school.

Enrollment is first grade!

Only by winning enough marbles and becoming the strongest group of people in the same grade can they be promoted to the second grade, and the highest is the sixth grade.

"In addition to cultural classes, there are also marbles classes!"

Chen Ba continued: "The school has no playground, no basketball court, no football field, there are just marble arenas everywhere..."

Marbles are everything.

The background of this story is quite twisted and weird, but it’s not a big problem. It’s a parallel world anyway, and it can be set in any way.

"From first grade to sixth grade, is it equivalent to a rank or a symbol of strength?"

"That's right!"

"So many people will never be able to graduate from elementary school in this life? I'm curious, will time pass in the game?"

"No, otherwise it would be like what you said. An uncle who is several decades old would still be in the first grade and not be able to graduate..."

Chen Ba shook his head.

There must be no concept of time in the game, otherwise it would be too funny for a group of children to play marbles for decades or centuries and still end up in the first grade.

There is no time, but there is plenty of space.

Except for the special mode that will enter the exclusive map, under normal circumstances, players are active in this large school.

The map is still huge.

The size of the school is not comparable to that of "Speed", but it is about the same size as the map of "Love Staff".

It's said to be a school, but it's actually a game hall in disguise.

Entering a specific area is equivalent to entering a game and starting a PVP confrontation with other players.

"That's not right, Brother Ba!"

Xiao Lu frowned and said: "If the number of marbles determines the level promotion, wouldn't it mean that just by buying marbles, you can go straight to the sixth grade?"

"sure!"

Chen Ba did not deny this possibility, but he knew better than anyone else that if he wanted to advance from first grade to sixth grade, he would need too many marbles.

How much game currency will you get just by buying it? Where do you get so many game coins?

If you have time to save game coins and hope to take shortcuts, why not improve your skills honestly and win marbles by playing games!
