Chapter 105 A New Model Slowly Perfected
Jianghu has been on the market for quite some time, although it has not launched any large-scale DLC, but because of its open world, rich gameplay, and scalability.

The popularity can still be said to be very high. If it is a general game, the version has not been updated for a long time, and the popularity will drop significantly.

But fortunately, Jianghu's MOD's open strategy has turned it into an evergreen tree.

For game companies, even if a stand-alone game is maintaining its popularity, in terms of profit creation, apart from earning from peripherals, its own value has been depleted.

Therefore, a few months after the launch of a stand-alone game, a new content version update, or a DLC update, is for the benefit of further development of the game.

There are even some manufacturers in the game industry who split a complete game into two parts for sale, one as the main body and the other as DLC.

Of course, Chuhe doesn't need to do these things at all. If he wants to make money, it's better to launch one or two mobile games instead of thinking about DLC.

But although DLC is not expected to bring much profit, the DLC Chuhe of the same game will also do it.

Several DLCs were released in the previous Don't Starve. So far, although no new content such as DLC has been updated, there is still a dedicated Don't Starve project team operating to update some BUGs and balance data in the game.

There is no need to worry about the big aspects. What is needed is just ordinary maintenance, and there are not many people. Including operations, the famine project team now only has three people.

"But wouldn't Jiang Hu become an online game? Balance is a problem." Xu Chang raised his own question.

According to the change proposed by Chuhe, it is to create a mirror image battle situation. When the player chooses the online mode, he will randomly enter a battle situation.

Similarly, the character data that the player has developed before will also be brought in, which leads to a problem. In a battle, there are old players who have already been in the martial arts world, and there are also new players who have just set foot in the martial arts world.

"Novice protection, players will gain the ability to protect themselves at the beginning." Chu He said.

Old players bully new players, this is something that no game can avoid, even if it is a purely competitive game.

For example, Meteor Butterfly Sword, even if everyone is at the same starting line, there are still old fried dough stick masters who go to buy a new account to bully Mengxin in low-level games.

And there is no way to avoid the RPG multiplayer game of cultivation type, and the most common method is novice protection.

Let old players have no way to hurt novice players.

Game manufacturers have no way to fundamentally eliminate such a method, they can only take more appropriate methods to take care of novice players, at least so that they will not be bullied by old players in the early stage.

"But what kind of game should players experience? Could it be a martial arts version of Sims?" Pig next to him interjected as Chu He introduced the gameplay.

"Of course not. Houses, horses, weapons, buying clothes, and drinking water all require silver taels, and players must have various tasks to complete silver taels, such as walking darts, guards, and assassinations, and these modes can be made Dungeon type, allowing players to team up for PVE." Chu He smiled and said to Pig.

Restricted by Jianghu's unique physics engine, there is a statement of durability loss in the game, including clothes and weapons.

After a battle, basically your clothes will be useless, and your weapons will be dilapidated, and unlike ordinary games, you can restore durability for a small amount of money.

To repair damaged weapons in the rivers and lakes, you need ore, and after repairing, the attributes will change.

As for whether it is good or bad, it depends on the material you use for repairing and the level of the blacksmith.

"Shu, s, s!?" Pigg suddenly came to his senses, showing a dazed expression.

Escorting darts, guarding, assassinating, including eradicating the Demon Cult, and attacking the righteous way, these are the games that Chuhe said, and the final income is silver, prestige, and weapons.

The easiest way to acquire martial arts is for the player to join a certain sect, and then reach a certain level of prestige, and pass it on through the master's sect.

Of course, there are also masters who have no background and no sect in the arena. They can also learn corresponding martial arts through their trials, and those who are confident in their own martial arts can directly destroy all major sects through the mirror image battle trial and forcibly seize them. The opponent's martial arts.

But this is also limited. You can invite up to 3 friends, a total of 4 people to participate in the trial battle. If you fail the challenge, you need to pay a large amount of silver.

To describe it in an easy-to-understand way, it is ticket money.

"Starting from the simplest tasks, follow-up tasks, such as assassination, dart escorting, robbing darts, etc., require players to buy corresponding properties." Chu He said to Xu Chang and Pig.

A new mode of playing a big problem was slowly described by Chuhe and Xuchang.

Based on the existing rivers and lakes gameplay, these are all achievable, but the workload required for development is not very small.

"Although it's very interesting, our current manpower is probably not enough to develop a new model of Jianghu." After the discussion, Chuhe couldn't help but sighed.

At present, the focus of the entire Tianhe Network is all on the development of the new host platform of the Road to Survival. It is really too much to spare for the development of the new Jianghu model.

"These are not very difficult things, and there are the original templates of Jianghu, and the technical requirements are not very high. If contract workers are used, manpower is not a big problem." Xu Chang made a suggestion.

"Do you want to make a new Jianghu model?" Chuhe asked a little strangely, probably seeing Xu Chang's thoughts.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Chang nodded: "I do have this idea."

"The production experience of console games, to put it bluntly, except for Pigg, Prot, and Merrick, we have no relevant experience. This is a very good opportunity, and I don't understand it." Chu He Looking at Xu Chang, he frowned and said.

"Mr. Chu, actually... Actually, I want to complete a project alone, even if it's just a new game mode." Shaking his lips, Xu Chang looked at Chuhe and said.

Hearing this, Chuhe understood what the problem was.

Does Xuchang have the ability?
Of course, Xuchang itself was recruited from a company that Chuhe founded Tianhe Network at the beginning. Although it is not a top-tier company in the industry, it also has successful projects.

But whether it is famine, rivers and lakes, or even the current road to survival, Xu Chang basically just followed Chuhe's game production philosophy to produce games, and he himself wanted to be in charge of a project independently to prove himself.

"I understand, but I still hope you can think clearly and give me a final answer next Monday." Chu He said to Xu Chang after being silent for two or three seconds.

After Xu Chang left, Chu He shook his head and sighed.

"President Chu, are you a little disappointed?" Pig asked Chuhe with a smile.

"A little bit, he has the ability, but maybe it's a matter of age. Compared with the rest of the company, he seems a bit conservative." Chuhe said.

"However, this is not a bad thing. In the Left [-] Dead project, he is in charge of something. If he is a little inexperienced, but obedient, he can still do a good job. To some extent, he is considered overqualified. Responsible The follow-up model update of Jianghu is also good, and Jianghu really needs an operation team to do it, after all, it is our first large-scale game, and it has great potential." Chuhe thought of something and smiled and said to Pig .

After the two talked for a few words, Pig returned to his post, while Chu He leaned on the sofa and stretched.

Just when he was about to open the document and ponder over the new Jianghu model just mentioned.

In his mind, the system that had been playing with soy sauce for a long time suddenly released a new message, which shocked him a lot.

　Cleaning the storage cabinet today, I suddenly found an old machine from a long time ago. The memory is still 512M, the hard disk is only 100G, and it can be turned on miraculously. Minguowushuang was surprised by the big death game~ What about this game?If you are interested in Baidu, you should be able to find resources, which are more deadly.
