Chapter 306 Lilith's modification suggestions
Gu Fan coughed twice: "Well, these designs are very good. The next step is to make a detailed upgrade effect of these special abilities in accordance with Mr. Li's requirements. Planning.
“Let me give you a simple example, taking 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 that, he looked at Lilith: "Mr. Li, is this idea okay?"
Lilith nodded happily: "No problem! Just follow this design. ! ”
Obviously, this one is very consistent with the concept of “taking away what has been given to the player”.
Originally, players are accustomed to using powerful fire bombs to quickly eliminate large-scale enemies, or to turn the corner in some dangerous situations.
I even went to complete tasks and collect materials to upgrade it with great anticipation.
However, players soon discovered that no matter how the bomb was upgraded, the damage was getting lower and lower!
Of course, the so-called getting lower and lower here is the subjective feeling of the players. In fact, the lethality of bombs has indeed 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.
Gu Fan looked at Wei Chengjie: "Then, follow this idea and redesign the other elemental abilities."
Wei Chengjie was simply stunned, but seeing Mr. Gu's serious look, he had no choice but to rack his brains and start designing.
“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 late stages of the game? For example, the entire level is made of water or metal objects, so players will Found that the walls that could be penetrated in the early stage were no longer able to be penetrated in the later stage?
“The wind element can grab objects or increase thrust, but in the later stage of the game, there is no wind at all in the space? So you can’t use the power of the wind element?
“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, but then there was less and less water in the scene, or the bonding The properties of the props that come out become weaker?
"I haven’t thought of a good solution for the time element yet, but since the original function is time stasis, the time stasis will become shorter and shorter after the upgrade, even in the After time stops, the monster will gain an acceleration effect? ”
Wei Chengjie thought about it casually and felt that this kind of approach would be scolded by the players.
However, Mr. Li was obviously not satisfied with this.
“Well... although it feels like it meets the design goal, it’s not too homogeneous!
“Earth elements, wind elements, and water elements are all Less and less later? Then there is nothing left in this space, only fire and metal!
"I think we have to think of more tricks, otherwise the players will be unhappy." Wei Chengjie almost spit out a mouthful of blood, good guy, you mean you can't use the same method all the time. To abuse players, you have to use different methods to abuse them, right?
Lilith continued: "I think the wind element is just the opposite. The space behind is not without wind, but too much wind!
"There are wind elements that players cannot control in a lot of scenes, so when When players want to use the super power of the wind element, 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 break directly once they are bonded!
“ As for the earth element, I think traps can be added to the earth. For example, when a player wants to cross a certain wall or a certain platform through earth movement, he suddenly discovers that there is a man-eating monster hidden inside!
"Then once he gets in, he will be eaten immediately, causing a gameover.
"In this way, it is obviously more suitable! "
Wei Chengjie was silent. Mr. Li really thought so. One method of abusing players is not enough, how many more tricks are needed?
He looked at Gu Fan, thinking I think Mr. Gu will take action, right? Don’t worry about her, the investors are lawless!
However, Gu Fan nodded: “Well, that’s good, Mr. Li’s design is very good!
"However, although it's generally fine, I still have a few suggestions.
"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, which would make players suspect that we did it on purpose. Instead of reflecting on your own problems. This approach is not very round after all.
“I think it can be designed like this: although the water element can be used as an adhesive, the more the equipment and props are used in the later stage. The higher the quality. Since the quality is high, we need more adhesive to bond them. Therefore, the total weight of the bonded objects will also increase exponentially.
“For example, there were originally two props with a gravity of 1. Players could easily pick them up. In the early stage, after they were glued together, the gravity was 1+1+1, and only 1 part of the glue was needed. The mixture 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 can’t hold 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 slower. 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: "Eh? This sounds good, okay, let’s do it! ”
After saying that, she looked at Wei Chengjie: "Why are you standing there, write it down quickly!"
Wei Chengjie nodded quickly: "Oh!"
He brought a notebook and was writing furiously. , quickly record the key points that Mr. Gu and Mr. Li said.
