Chapter 181 Isn't Tianhe Network Going to Lose Money?
Although it is a horizontal 2D game, the details of the game give Yangchen a different feeling, Hongda?Shocked?

Compared with the big scenes of some 3D games, the map of DNF is just a scroll type, but it is completely different from what you imagined. Even Yang Chen can see the green grass on the ground blowing slightly with the wind, acting as trees in the background Occasionally drops a leaf.

It may not be a big deal if it is placed in a 3D game, but because of the reason of 2D games, when I preconceived that the performance of the picture will not be so good, when I suddenly see such a picture, the contrast makes Yang Chen feel that the picture of DNF is actually quite good. of.

Especially the dubbing of the game's plot and the map BGM made him feel like he was not acting at all.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is immersive, but there is no doubt that it matches the scene of the game very well.

To make a 2D game have such detailed performance, how much capital cost is needed, how many original paintings are needed for modeling, Yangchen, as an ordinary player, has no concept in his heart, anyway, the art of the game The style and picture make him very comfortable, which is enough.

Through the guidance of the novice plot, soon after Yang Chen rescued Celia who is the source of all evil, Yang Chen has basically figured out the operation method of the entire game. It is not so difficult, and the skills in the game can be set as One-button release, you can also release by rubbing moves just like you used to play fighting games like King of Fighters and Street Fighter.

However, as a lazy player, Yang Chen resolutely chose to release with one button. Although the rubbing sounds and looks cool, it is too troublesome.

"Ji'erchen, why are you still in the novice tutorial? Hurry up and play, let's form a team together to upgrade the main task, and there is an extra experience bonus when forming a team." The game has been installed next to it, and even the novice has been cleared. Wang Fa at the checkpoint saw that Yangchen was still in the dungeon copy of the novice tutorial, so he couldn't help shouting.

"Don't rush, just watch the plot, what's the point of playing a game without watching the plot." Yang Chen replied, but still ruthlessly clicked the dialog box with the mouse quickly, and then exited the dungeon.

The difficulty in the early stage of the game is not that high, basically it is mainly to allow players to experience the operation method of the game, and to upgrade the level to learn higher skills.

Even if the weapon used is a blank weapon, as long as the abyss party in the dungeon is not opened, it can be passed casually. Even if it is the most difficult king level, after learning the skills of the boss, it is easy to move without being too bad Slowly kill the BOSS.

It can be said that the dungeon level in the plot is just to let players familiarize themselves with the operation method of the whole game, the characteristics of monsters and bosses, and to upgrade the level and obtain gold coins.

Also in these dungeons, unless it is the Emperor of Destiny, nothing good will come out.

The value setting of the experience value in the whole game, the original method of planning according to the value has a bottleneck, that is, like ordinary online games, there will be card level settings.

All the side quests, including the main quest, have been completed, but there is only one or two levels left before the main story quest can be done, and then the player needs to slowly scan the map.

Moreover, the huge leveling experience is set according to the value. Basically, all the fatigue points can be cleared in one day to be able to level up to level 1~2.

This is something that most online games will do, in order to increase the player's stay time in the game.

But after seeing the numerical plan, Chuhe completely rejected the plan.

From the perspective of numerical planning, this is understandable, because it can be said to prolong the player's progress, and it also increases the player's time in the game.

But from the player's point of view, Chuhe simply hates such numerical design.

Chuhe can only use two words to describe such a design: disgusting.

That's right, it's disgusting!
Forcefully increase the value of the experience value, delay the player's game progress, and delay the player's game experience.

It's like a stand-alone game, including all the main lines and important branch lines, and it takes about ten hours to complete the experience. However, in order to extend the so-called game duration, the production team added a bunch of very repetitive and highly repetitive content. The branch you force to complete.

For example, find cats for Uncle Wang, deliver letters for Widow Song, and you won’t be allowed to touch the main storyline until you complete it. Such a setting is definitely like eating dog shit for players.

What's more, does DNF really need such a 'liver'?

Ordinary dungeon dungeons exist only to allow players to experience the plot of the game, to allow players to make money, and to allow players to familiarize themselves with monsters.

So what if the player reached the full level in two days?

At this time, the real difficulty comes. The hidden dungeons of each map, the more difficult alien dungeons, and the abyss party of the liver artifact epic are all ways to play after the full level of DNF.

Of course, in addition to the main plot, there are also side quests, and the rewards of these side quests are mostly special titles, potions, transitional purple equipment, and extra skill points.

In short, in the DNF side mission rewards, the rewards planned and designed by Chuhe Rang seem to the players to be definitely not the kind of tasteless things, but very attractive items.

The side missions are actually more difficult than the plot missions, because the side missions all have a scoring requirement, that is, clearing one of the four difficulties (normal, hard, warrior, king) and reaching a certain score is considered complete.

Also depending on the difficulty of the dungeon in the game, the final monster strength is also different. For example, after killing a part of the monster's blood, it will open the second form, or even the third form, with more powerful skills.

The difficulty of non-attributes is increased. The advantage of this is that as long as the player has enough skills, he can pass the level, not that he will not be able to pass without better equipment.

"I'm going, why is there no fatigue value here? You can change jobs after level 2!"

Inside the dormitory, Wang Fa and Yang Chen wailed. Looking at the empty fatigue value and the system prompting that they could no longer get any benefits, the two were speechless.

The fatigue value of the leader of all evils does not use the numerically planned level level setting, because it is not necessary at all, and the fatigue value can solve all problems. Players can always reach the full level through the dungeon following the plot, but the premise is that you have enough fatigue value.

And every regional scene will have a hidden level, such as the Dark Thunder Ruins of Grand Forest. If you want to leave here to go to a higher level of Sky City, you must clear the Dark Thunder Ruins on the difficulty of the king.

Looking at the level 16 box in the lower left corner, Wang Fa and Yang Chen were scratching their hearts. Thinking of the cool skills they could learn after changing jobs, the two of them wished to give their fatigue points another second.

"By the way, there should be stamina potions in the mall that increase the fatigue value. Aren't those mobile games like this?" Suddenly thought of something, Wang Fa glanced at the inconspicuous picture of the mall at the bottom, his eyes lit up. Said.

"It shouldn't be very expensive, just upgrade to level 18 and change jobs." Hearing Wang Fa's words, Yang Chen felt a little moved.

After all, I’m already in college. It’s different from the past when I didn’t eat breakfast, just to save some money and play games. Now I recharge and play games, even if I don’t need living expenses, it’s a big deal to go out on weekends to distribute flyers for a day. At least sixty or seventy will be credited. .

"No way!? The mall only sells these, isn't Tianhe Network going to lose money?"
