Chapter 162 The imitation version of
"Don't Leave After School: Pinball Storm" is an online party game. Although the background of the game is not very grand, it also involves all aspects.
The game has multiple modes!
There is both a classic battle mode that everyone can play, and a special entertainment mode that combines various elements and can be called the ultimate stitch monster.
Overall, the entertainment mode is more fun than the classic mode...
The classic mode focuses on childhood nostalgia. You may be a little excited when you first play it, but after you play it for a long time, you will feel that this thing is not as interesting as "Pinball Soul".
"Soul of Pinball" is the main gameplay mechanism of the game. It is also the game mode that Chen Ba and Xiao Lu decided to focus on after discussion.
In this mode, when players enter the game, the awakening mission of "The Soul of Pinball" will be triggered.
After awakening the marble soul, the marbles will have growth potential and powerful attributes.
The duel between marbles and marbles, after activating and awakening their respective marble souls, will become more colorful and exciting!
30 players are randomly born in every corner of an island. Improve the marble soul by killing monsters or defeating other players.
As the game time goes by, the seawater will slowly submerge the entire island, and players will be forced to engage in a final confrontation to determine the final winner.
"Is 30 people too few?"
"The map is quite big. There are 30 people scattered on it. It feels like you can hardly meet anyone in the early stage." Xiao Lu said hesitantly.
"enough!"
"Thirty people in one game is a relatively reasonable distribution. If there are too many people or too few people, it will be difficult for Pinball Soul to reach the height it deserves."
Chen Ba has his own considerations.
If there are too many players in a game, competition will certainly become fierce, but it will also cause Pinball Soul to grow very quickly.
Other players are still trying to figure out how to upgrade the Soul of Pinball. As a result, someone has already upgraded the Soul of Pinball to a very high level by defeating other players. Who else can punish him in the later stage?
Not too little will do.
If the number of players in a game is too small, then the level of Pinball Soul will not rise too fast, but there will be no way to level up.
Pinball Soul is awesome!
This is also the main reason why Chen Ba strictly limits the number of people to prevent the pinball soul from developing too quickly or too slowly.
Let’s put it this way…
With the blessing of the marble soul, these ordinary marbles have all turned into terrifying and destructive weapons.
Especially the higher the level of Pinball Soul, the more players it defeats, the more terrifying it becomes, because the growth is almost unlimited!
The power and performance of the fifth-level marble soul, that is, after defeating four players, is already terrifying.
If it were the tenth-level marble soul...
There is nothing to say, this level of marble soul basically equals victory once activated. The three-star five-fee card is similar in nature to Teamfight Tactics. As long as it appears, you will win, and the winning rate is infinitely close to 100%!
Higher level?
This has also been designed, but Chen Ba and Xiao Lu agreed that even if there is this hidden mechanism, it is estimated that it will be difficult for players to trigger it.
After all, there are a maximum of 30 players in a game. Excluding yourself, there are only 29 enemy players left.
That is to say!
Under the most ideal situation, Pinball Soul can be upgraded to level 30, which is the full level that Chen Ba and Xiao Lu expected.
But this condition is too harsh.
The entertainment mode of "Pinball Soul" is actually a bit like battle royale games such as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and APEX.
When you play a battle royale game, can you kill all the players in one round?
Unrealistic!
This has nothing to do with whether your skills are good or not, or whether you are strong or not. Even cheating is difficult and almost impossible to do.
Unless you blow up the plane while you are still on the plane and directly destroy all opponents, it will be difficult to defeat so many players.
But the key is...
Battle royale games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and APEX involve flying on a plane and then skydiving. But in the special mode of "Soul of Pinball", players appear randomly in every corner of the map.
Appears randomly, no need to parachute!
Based on this premise, it is theoretically possible for players to upgrade to the full level of Pinball Soul, but it is almost impossible to do so in the actual game.
After all, theory is theory. In actual game play, the remaining players are not fools. They stay where you are and wait for you to defeat them one by one.
Level 10 is basically a sure win!
If you are a master or a high-level player, you may be able to upgrade to level 15 or even level 20 to witness the most terrifying marble soul.
"Twenty-level marble souls are comparable to cheating. They appear every second and are unreasonable..."
Thinking of this, Chen Ba couldn't help but laugh and said: "When the game is released, we can set up a reward. Whoever can reach the 30th level of Pinball Soul will be given a mysterious grand prize."
The prize is unknown!
The reason why it is unknown is mainly because Chen Ba also knows that most no one can get this award. Since it is a prize that no one can win, it is better to maintain a certain degree of mystery.
"OK!"
After Xiao Lu wrote down this advice, he then asked: "By the way, Brother Ba, does "Don't Leave After School" need to be exhibited this year?"
"Gamecom?"
"right!"
"No, it's too far..."
Although Gamescom is very famous all over the world, even ordinary players have heard of this exhibition more or less.
But to be honest, participating in this kind of exhibition does not mean much to Tianba Studio.
The Neon Game Show is still an Asian cultural circle after all. If you go there for a walk, you might be able to attract a group of Japanese and Korean gamers.
However, at Gamescom, the exhibitors are all too big-name and high-quality games are frequently released. Unless players from Europe and the United States are full of food, why should they pay attention to Tianba Studio?
Chen Ba does not think that the games under Tianba Studio, except for "Speed Hurry" and "God's Grace Continent", can meet the tastes of European and American players.
And it’s really too far…
Even if he takes a plane to participate in the exhibition, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. This is undoubtedly a thankless task for Chen Ba.
"If you don't want to go, don't go!"
Yang Dong agrees with Brother Ba's idea. After all, Cologne is really too far away and it's not worth the hassle.
If you really want to join in the fun and learn about industry news and latest developments, you can look forward to the "Domestic Game Summit" organized by Game Star and a number of major domestic game manufacturers.
"What to expect?"
Chen Ba was very curious. While he was busy developing new games, was there another trouble in the domestic game industry?
"It's not a moth..."
Yang Dong smiled and said: "I heard that this summit mainly revolves around our Tianba Studio. We are the center of the topic."
"us?"
"They held a meeting, and the discussion was about us? What are they doing, the six sects besieging Guangmingding?" Chen Ba asked confused.
The industry held a summit, and the main topic of discussion was Tianba Studio. This was so surprising.
What are they going to discuss?
How to target Tianba Studio, how to learn from Tianba Studio, or how to cooperate and communicate?
"neither!"
Yang Dong shook his head and denied: "I also heard the gossip, I don't know if it is accurate."
"Anyway, from what I heard, it's probably because of platform issues. Everyone wants to connect to our Nobug platform."
Access the Nobug platform?
Chen Ba was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that these people were planning on the Nobug game platform that had just been launched.
Why?
What if Nobug is developing very well and has a massive user base like the Steam platform and Orange platform.
The problem is, Nobug doesn’t have many users! Is there any significance for them to access this platform?
"It's quite meaningful."
"Brother Ba, have you forgotten how difficult and difficult it is to develop stand-alone games?"
Yang Dong explained: "Once you connect to the Nobug platform, you will be on board our ship. When the time comes, you will have a good relationship with us. It will be much more convenient whether it is attracting investment or sponsorship."
Chen Ba: "..."
What does this mean?
Everyone is having a hard time, so they want to lean on Tianba’s thick thigh to get some investment or sponsorship? Is the Nobug platform just an excuse?
"No, if they have this need, wouldn't it be better to ask big factories like Pig and Goose for help?"
"We have money, and we only make single-player games. To them, we are all about single-player games, and we should be able to save heroes."
Yang Dong continued to explain: "And another point is that we have good relationships with many graphics card manufacturers, as well as companies such as Microsoft and Huazi, and we have a wide range of channels."
Let’s not talk about anything else.
As long as you get online with Tianba Studio, the optimized adaptation of N card and A card can basically be guaranteed.
Furthermore, if we attract sponsorship or capital injection from these large companies, it will be completely worthwhile even if we are acquired.
This is an advantage that pigs and geese do not have.
Zhuge is simply rich. As for resources, the relationship between the host platform and the steam platform, and the connections with host manufacturers and graphics card vendors, they are obviously not as good as Tianba Studio in these aspects.
certainly!
The most important point should be a common saying: No matter how small a mosquito’s legs are, they are still meat!
Although the Nobug platform has a small player base, who knows what the future will bring? What if this platform takes off in two years?
Bet in advance!
Anyway, domestic games, especially domestic stand-alone games, are basically not exclusive. If you join an additional platform, you can make more money, so why not?
…
Brother Dong said that Tianba Studio is now very popular, but Chen Ba didn't quite believe it at first.
But when he arrived at the so-called industry summit and saw these enthusiastic colleagues, he realized that this statement was true.
That’s so passionate!
Everyone is begging Tianba Studio, hoping to make friends with Brother Ba. Even if they can't learn skills from him, it's not a loss to make friends.
But then again.
Those who are willing to make friends with Tianba Studio, and even make friends with Chen Ba, are small workshops with mostly small teams.
Dachang, on the other hand, is relatively calm. He will nod at most when meeting people and will not deliberately come over to make his presence felt.
"Brother Ba, there's something you need to pay attention to!"
Chen Ba had just chatted with the person in charge of the goose factory. After returning to his seat, he was quickly reminded by the person next to him.
"I heard from a reliable friend that Goose Factory seems to have activated the Sharingan and plans to do a cosplay on your game..."
Zundu and fake toot?
Chen Ba blinked. He didn't expect to hear such exciting news when he came to attend the so-called industry summit.
Sharingan, Cosplay?
Are you kidding me?
The underlying core of the games developed by Tianba Studio are all built on the Tiehanhan system. Even if the restrictions are relaxed and copied by others, it may be difficult to copy a finished product.
"Can't we just copy the gameplay?"
"You're stupid! I can't beat you technically, but as long as I copy the core gameplay and add a little bit of my own stuff, isn't it a new game?"
"Which one did they copy?"
Chen Ba was very curious.
Tianba Studio has released so many games since its debut. Which game has the honor of being the target of Sharingan copies?
"God's Grace Continent!"
After saying this, the man seemed worried about attracting other people's attention. He patted Chen Ba on the shoulder and said, "Just know it yourself, but don't go around shouting that I told you."
"Yeah, I will."
He was kind enough to tell him this secret, and Chen Ba was not heartless, so how could he possibly betray him?
He just couldn't understand why it was "God's Grace Continent"?
"Speed" is selling so well, "Love Staff" has a high social influence, and "Star Emperor" has excellent event management... As a result, none of these games have encountered the Sharingan. Why "God's Grace Continent"?
Chen Ba took out his cell phone and told Yang Dong, who was staying in the studio, about this.
Soon, Brother Dong sent his opinion.
"It should be the huge benefits generated by Shen'en Animation that have attracted the attention of these major companies!"
Other games are just small-scale games. Even if the movement is a bit big, for big companies, it is just like that and not worth mentioning.
But "God's Grace Continent" has created a new market worth tens of billions in one fell swoop! It has opened up a new track for the animation industry!
This value is obviously greater...
Out of curiosity, Chen Ba asked someone to find out what this game or software that imitated "God's Grace Continent" was like.
"Magical animation!"
"It is said that it is called this, and it should be positioned as a professional-level AI animation production software, benchmarking against the professional version of "God's Grace Continent"."
Chen Ba's connections told him that this software called "Magic Animation" basically copied the gameplay mechanism of "God's Grace Continent".
Just changed the story background.
The core is still AI driving NPCs to move freely. The mechanism of "God's Grace Continent" that was born by chance is regarded as the core selling point of this software.
"My own large AI model?"
Chen Ba breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
After working on it for a long time, he thought "God's Grace Continent" had been cracked! It turns out that the bottom layer uses its own large AI model...
That's okay.
The core reason why "God's Grace Continent" can create a new field of "God's Grace Animation" and open up a new animation track is that these NPCs are too intelligent.
Goose Factory plans to use its own large-scale AI training model to replace the bottom layer of the Tiehanhan system and create a replica of "God's Grace Continent".
The idea is excellent, but the question is, is the large AI model trained by Goose Factory itself really that smart?
If it could restore half of the intelligence of the NPCs in "God's Grace Continent", then this software would still be useful.
But if you don’t have even half the intelligence, you’d better pull him down as soon as possible...
