Chapter 306 Lilith’s suggestions for modification
Gu Fan coughed twice: "Well, these designs are very good. The next step is to make a specific plan for the upgrade effects of these special abilities in accordance with Mr. Li's requirements.
“Let me give you a simple example, let’s take the most direct element of fire.
“The effect of the fire element is to create fire bombs, which can cause direct damage to monsters, right?
“Then the modification of this function is very simple: as the game progresses, players can upgrade this ability. At the same time, the blood volume, resistance and other data of monsters in the game will also be greatly improved.
"However, no matter how the player upgrades, the damage of the fire bomb will only increase slightly. That is to say, the later in the game, the more scratchy the bomb will be. In the end, except for the visual effects, it can hardly cause any damage to the monster. "
After speaking, he looked at Lilith: "Mr. Li, is there any problem with this idea?"
Lilith nodded happily: "No problem! Just follow this design!"
Obviously, this article is very consistent with the concept of "taking away what has been given to the player".
Originally, players are used to using powerful fire bombs to quickly eliminate large-scale enemies, or to turn the corner in some dangerous situations.
Even went on tasks and collected materials to upgrade it with great anticipation.
Of course, the so-called getting lower and lower here is the subjective feeling of the players. In fact, the lethality of the bomb has been slightly increased, and the damage used to deal with the primary mobs in the birthplace is also higher.
But the problem is that its upgrade speed is far slower than the monster's attribute improvement speed, so players find this thing increasingly difficult to use.
Wei Chengjie was simply stunned, but seeing Mr. Gu's serious look, he had no choice but to rack his brains and start designing.
However, players soon discovered that no matter how the bomb was upgraded, the damage was getting lower and lower!
“The wind element can grab objects or increase thrust, but in the later stages of the game, there is no wind at all in the space? So the power of the wind element cannot be used?
Wei Chengjie thought about it casually and felt that this kind of approach would be scolded by the players.
"So, the earth element can escape from the ground or pass through walls. In this case, a large number of non-land levels will be arranged in the middle and later stages of the game? For example, the entire level is made of water or metal objects, so players will find that they can walk through it casually in the early stage. The wall will no longer be penetrated in the later stage?
"As for the water element, it could originally be used as an adhesive to bond specific props, or to enlarge certain props and produce special effects. However, later on, there was less and less water in the scene, or the properties of the bonded props changed. weak?
“I haven’t thought of a good solution for the time element yet, but since the original function is time stagnation, then after the upgrade, the time stagnation time becomes shorter and shorter, and even after the time stasis, the monster will get an acceleration effect?”
Gu Fan looked at Wei Chengjie: "Then, follow this idea and redesign the other elemental abilities."
However, Mr. Li was obviously not satisfied with this.
“Hmm… Although it feels like it meets the design goal, it’s not too homogeneous!
“The elements of earth, wind, and water are getting less and less in the future? Then there is nothing left in this space, only fire and metal!
"I think we need to think of more tricks, otherwise the players will be unhappy." Wei Chengjie almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Good guy, what you mean is that you can't use the same method to torture players all the time. You must also use the same method to torture players. A different way to torture, right?
Lilith continued: "I think the wind element is directly reversed. The space behind it is not that there is no wind, but that there is too much wind!
“A large number of scenes contain wind elements that players cannot control, so when players want to use the wind element’s superpowers, not only are they unable to control it, but they will be taken away.
“The water element can originally be used as an adhesive, but the props obtained later are all special props, and they will immediately break once they are bonded!
“As for the earth element, I think we can add traps in the earth. For example, when a player wants to cross a certain wall or a certain platform through earth movement, they suddenly find that there is a man-eating monster hidden inside!
“Then once he gets in, he will be eaten immediately, causing a gameover.
“In this case, it is obviously more appropriate!”
Wei Chengjie was silent. Mr. Li really thought so. One method of abusing players was not enough, how many more tricks were needed?
He looked at Gu Fan, thinking that Mr. Gu would probably take action, right? Leave her alone, investors are lawless!
However, Gu Fan nodded: "Well, not bad, Mr. Li's design is very good!
“But, although it’s generally fine, I still have a little suggestion.
“Just like the water element.
"The water element can originally be used as an adhesive to bond props, but if it breaks after being directly bonded, it would be too simple and crude. This would make players suspect that we did it on purpose and would not reflect on our own actions. Problem. This approach is not very mellow after all.
"I think it can be designed like this: Although the water element can be used as an adhesive, the later the equipment and props are, the higher the quality. Since the quality is high, then we need more adhesive to stick them Together, therefore, the total weight of the bonded object will also increase exponentially.
"For example, there are two props with a gravity of 1. Players can easily pick them up. In the early stage, after gluing them together, the gravity is 1+1+1, and only 1 part of the adhesive is enough. The total weight is 3, which is acceptable for players to pick up.
"But in the later stage, because the gravity of the two objects is 3, then 5 parts of adhesive are needed to bond them. The total weight is 3+3+5, which suddenly becomes a total weight of 11. The player They couldn't carry it anymore.
“The weight of these props can be intuitively displayed in the player’s character performance.
“For example, when the player holds an overweight object, the game character must hold the object tightly with both hands, and the movement speed becomes slow. When using a weapon to attack, the forward and backward swings will also become extremely long.
“In this way, although obstacles are created for players, they are indeed created openly through game mechanics. Even if players are angry, they have nowhere to vent.”
Lilith couldn't help but her eyes lit up: "Huh? This sounds good, okay, then let's do it!"
After finishing speaking, she looked at Wei Chengjie: "Why are you so stunned? Write it down quickly!"
Wei Chengjie nodded quickly: "Oh!"
He brought a notebook and was writing furiously, quickly writing down the key points that Mr. Gu and Mr. Li said.
