Chapter 360 Mod Collection Activity
August 28, Friday night.
The Gan Emperor went out for a late-night snack, and then prepared to start a happy life in the second half of the night.
Open the folder called "mod" on the computer. Inside are some mods he has completed before or is currently making.
As an amateur, although Gan Di’s skills are pretty good, he doesn’t know how to make mods for every game. He must like it, the game is popular, and the mod changes the game relatively well. Only if you are big can you make it.
Recently, he just happened to set his sights on "The Legend of Endless Fantasy".
This game meets his standards very well. It not only has rich gameplay, but also has a lot of room for modification.
So far, Gandi has produced three or four different mods for this game, but it has not been completely completed yet. It is still in the final stage, and some specific functional details and data parameters are still being adjusted. .
“Haah~”
Gan Emperor yawned and was about to continue to advance the progress of these mods, when he saw someone on the video website sending him a private message.
"Emperor Gan! Look, Ni Tiantian is opening a creative workshop! There is also a mod collection event!"
Emperor Gan couldn't help but be stunned, and then fell into ecstasy.
Huh? Isn’t this just tailor-made for me?
So far, almost all of the most popular mods of Nitiantian Game were produced by him. Of course, many domestic masters who are good at mod production will join the ranks in the future, but Gandi is the first one to eat crabs after all, and has a clear first-mover advantage, so whether it is the popularity of the mod or the number of downloads, it still remains the same. Being in a far superior position.
With the creative workshop, it means that mod authors can directly upload their mods to the creative workshop instead of uploading to the NEXTMOD website.
This is definitely a major plus!
Because NEXTMOD is a foreign website after all, it is not very convenient to log in and download. Even if the all-English page has a web page translation, it will naturally discourage most players.
And if there is a creative workshop, players can easily download mods by just clicking on the official platform, and they can also see the ratings, reviews, etc. of many domestic players.
This is undoubtedly good news for mod authors and users.
Nitiantian also held a mod collection event?
Okay, okay, no matter what the prizes are, Gan Emperor feels that they are already in his pocket.
However, after finding the page for this collection event, Emperor Gan was stunned.
This activity... doesn’t say there are any rewards!
The content of the entire event solicitation page is quite simple. It is preceded by a few clichés. Most games will have such a template when they open creative workshops. Basically, it is to thank the official and players for their support. XX Games The creative workshop is officially open to the public.
The next content is the focus.
"Nitiantian Games is now open to all outstanding modders, soliciting the following types of mods:
"Incredible Challenge
"The Difficult Journey
"Unexpected Frustration
"Crushing despair
"Things the production team wants to do but dare not do"
In the reward column, what the official wrote is also a bit strange.
"Excellent mod works that have been officially recognized will be given priority on the creative workshop homepage, or added to the player's "automatic download" menu;
"Excellent mod works that are not recognized by players, You will also receive official special compensation rewards. ”
The Gan Emperor scratched his head, feeling a little confused.
Have you never seen this kind of solicitation announcement?
First of all, what are the requirements for collecting mods? What incredible challenges, arduous journeys, unexpected setbacks, etc., don’t the first four points mean the same thing?
Of course, if you have to pick out the words, they still have subtle differences. For example, the arduous journey emphasizes that the entire process is difficult, while unexpected setbacks often refer to a smoother game. Highly difficult levels or challenges that appear suddenly during the process. But in general, the first four points seem to point to the same mod type - high-difficulty mods.
The so-called high difficulty mod is to change the values and mechanisms in the game to make the battle more difficult.
For example, the game "Ascension" once had a highly difficult mod called "Crazy Journey". Almost all the bosses were redone. Not only did the blood volume double, but many complex mechanisms and full-screen effects were added. Attack skills allow those players who can already clear "Ascension" without thinking to experience what it means to suffer.
However, such a difficult mod is originally an extremely niche category in the mod community, and not many people play it.
If we really want to talk about popular mods, they have to be appearance replacement mods, especially those less serious appearance replacement mods.
Of course, the creative workshop of the official platform will definitely not allow those excessive appearance mods, but general appearance beautification mods can still pass the review, and the more popular they are with players.
In addition, interface beautification mods, functional mods, etc. are also very practical for players.
Reversible Paradise official said nothing about these mods.
As for the fifth item, it is even more incredible. What is the thing that "the production team wants to do but dare not do"?
What exactly do the production team want to do? Only this devil knows!
It can’t be that the production team wants to disgust players but doesn’t dare, so it’s left to the mod author to do it, right? That would be outrageous!
As for the rewards, it is even more strange.
Officially recognized outstanding works will receive priority downloads or be added to the automatic download list, which seems reasonable at first glance.
The so-called "automatic download" is a default function of the official platform. When players use the creative workshop, they can turn on an option called "Automatic download of excellent mods".
Once this option is turned on, those mods recommended by the official or a large number of players will be downloaded by default to improve the game experience.
Of course, the official will be very careful when selecting this automatic download mod, and most players will not turn on this option, but prefer to download it themselves. However, a small number of players will choose to enable it by default.
So this one seems reasonable at first glance.
But the next one is very strange.
“Excellent works that are not recognized by players will also receive special official compensation rewards.”
It stands to reason that “works that are recognized by players” should often be “official "Approved works", could it be said that player approval and official approval are two standards?
From beginning to end, there is no mention of what will happen to "works recognized by players".
If you just pick out the words, it does give people a weird feeling, but everyone obviously didn't think too much, and still acquiesced that Nitiantian's creative workshop should be similar to the creative workshops of other games. rule.
It's nothing more than players with more likes and more downloads being ranked first, getting recommended spots, etc.
Gan Emperor was about to close the page when he suddenly found a line of small words at the bottom of the page.
There is an asterisk in front of this line of small characters. The font itself is very small and the color is relatively close to the background color. It is really difficult for ordinary people to notice it.
『All mods will be reviewed by the official platform and Nitiantian before they can be uploaded. Nitiantian Games has the final right to interpret this event. 』
