Chapter 371: Clear the clouds and see the sun for mod authors
Chapter 371: Clearing up the clouds for the mod author
“Huh? How do you say this?”
Many comments feel that this is a bit nonsense. How do you call it screening game mods that "best match the style of Against Heaven"?
The more Chen Tingquan thought about it, the more it made sense, and he hurriedly explained: "Hey, think about it, for any game that has a creative workshop, do you download a lot of mods on it?
“In other words, will you give priority to looking for mods on the creative workshop, or on the N Internet?
“Do you think there is any essential difference between these two channels? Is there anything unique and irreplaceable about the creative workshop?”
These words made the barrage a little confused, and the audience obviously fell into short thinking, but the answers to these questions soon came.
“Go to the N network to find more mods.”
“I just looked for it on the Creative Workshop. It’s very convenient here. You can download it with just one click.”
“But the creative workshop mods are not complete.”
“The irreplaceability of the creative workshop...should be convenience?”
Everyone was talking about it. Although everyone generally believed that Creative Workshop and N Network had their own advantages and disadvantages, there was actually no essential difference.
The advantage of the creative workshop is "convenience". After all, you can install it directly into the game by clicking the download button, while on the N network, you need to download the file and then manually put it in the root directory.
However, the number of mods on the N network is larger and more comprehensive, and in many cases the number is even two or three times more than that of the creative workshop.
This is because the N network has many foreign games and mods made by global modders, while the creative workshop only has domestic modders. In addition, mods from the creative workshop must undergo a more complex review to ensure full compatibility with the game, which is not required on the N network.
But generally speaking, for domestic authors, after making a mod, they will basically submit it to the N network and the creative workshop at the same time, in order to pursue as much exposure as possible for the mod. This is especially true for those popular mods.
Chen Tingquan strategically stroked his non-existent long beard, and then said with confidence: "So, Nitian's move is actually to distinguish the role of the creative workshop and N network!
“Think about it carefully, so far, is Master Mod the only mod that has been arranged by Nitiantian to be the default download bar on the homepage? And other mods don’t have this kind of treatment, right?
"Why is this?
“When everyone was suffering, Nitiantian deliberately installed the master mod by default and kept it at the top of the creative workshop. Later, everyone found a way to crack it, but Nitiantian deleted the master mod. Why? ?”
There were a lot of question marks floating on the barrage. Obviously, everyone was a little confused, especially Chen Tingquan’s Riddler behavior.
Yeah, why?
Isn't it some idiot leader from Nitian who is playing a role?
Chen Tingquan coughed twice: "Ahem! I think there is another explanation for this matter, a more reasonable explanation!
“On the surface, Nitiantian seems to only accept high-difficulty mods, not functional mods. But if you think about it carefully, there are obviously many functional mods in the master mod, such as modifications to the time-stop ability.
“Then why did Nitiantian accept the master mod and put it on the homepage? “Did Nitiantian not realize that there is a functional mod in this mod? I think it’s unlikely. Most of Nitian’s reviewers are professionals and may not make such low-level mistakes.
“I think the greater possibility is that Nitiantian does not accept purely functional mods that reduce the difficulty of the game for players, because this will affect the player’s fun!
"Nitiantian hopes to have more high-difficulty mods to bring more challenging fun to players. Among many high-difficulty mods, if we can take into account both functional adjustments and difficulty improvements, we can add some discoverable elements. …That is what Nitiantian really wants, and this is the ultimate reason why Master Mod can stand out!”
The audience was all stunned for a long time. After a long time, a lone barrage floated over: "But... Nitiantian has removed the master mod from the shelves again?"
Chen Tingquan has obviously already thought of an explanation: "Yes, this is normal!
“Because the position on the homepage is precious! If the master mod is not removed from the shelves, how can new excellent mods stand out?
"Master mod, everyone knows it is fun, then you can go to the N network to download, go to the group to download, go to the forum to download, there are many download channels. If it continues to be posted on the homepage of the creative workshop, everyone will continue to download the master mod. I’m afraid the new mod won’t be able to take off.”
The barrage asked weakly: "Can't you put several mods on the homepage?"
Chen Tingquan shook his head slightly: "No, because these mods will definitely have compatibility issues. For a mod of this size, the official can only push one at a time."
Some people in the live broadcast room have begun to realize it, and posted "It makes sense" barrage.
Don’t mention it, the compatibility issue is really a big problem!
Mods as large as the master mod often modify many resources in the game, such as the art resources of the beast god, as well as the various materials, weapons, props dropped by the beast god, etc.
Gan Emperor can barely make the master mod archive compatible with the official archive, which is not easy.
As for other mods, it's fine if you haven't modified the modifications made by the master mod. Once the same modifications are made, it may cause one of the mods to become invalid, or even the game files to be damaged and the game to crash.
Hence, Nitiantian only recommends one mod at a time. Considering the stability of the game, it is indeed reasonable.
Now that the gameplay of the master mod has been almost explored, and players all understand it, and there are many download channels outside, Nitiantian officials have vacated the mod recommendation position on the homepage to look for the next more promising one. Excellent integrated mod.
And the master mod has been questioned from its high difficulty to the discovery of hidden mechanism inversions. Isn’t this in line with the game design concept of Nitian?
From this point of view, Nitiantian’s mod review standards seem to be traceless, but in fact they still exist?
First of all, it cannot be a functional mod that simply reduces the difficulty for players, as that will destroy the gameplay of the game itself.
Secondly, although mods that enhance difficulty are relatively more popular, if they only increase the difficulty, they will only pass the review and will not be recommended on the homepage or default download.
Only a mod like the Master that not only increases the difficulty, creates new challenges for players, optimizes functionality, and buries some special gameplay for players to discover, can it be officially recognized and put on the creative agenda On the homepage of the workshop, promote it to all players!
After the players have completely solved the mystery of the master mod, the official will delete this mod and leave the position to the next excellent mod to hide its identity and reputation.
“So that’s it, I understand! The reason why my mod has not passed the review is because the difficulty is not high enough and the puzzles are not deep enough! I will change it now!”
Chen Tingquan’s words are like clearing the clouds and revealing the sun, pointing out a clear path for all modders of “Endless Fantasy Legend”!
