Thursday, January 12.

The game of the sun.

Wang Xiaobin came to the door of Lin Wan's office and knocked lightly.

"Mr. Lin, if the DLC of the remaining two games is okay, it will be officially released, do you still need to tell Ye Zhizhou?"

Lin Wan thought for a while and said, "No need." He's in Los Angeles now, it's jet lag, and he's usually busy doing tactical analysis for the FV team, so don't bother him. Besides, he had already seen the development content of these two DLCs when it was just finalized, so there should be no major problems, so let's release it directly. ”

"You led the design and development of the DLC of several old games this time, so it's hard work, so take a good rest in the past two weeks."

Wang Xiaobin was a little embarrassed to be praised and said: "Hey, I was also driven to the shelves, if it wasn't for Mr. Pei forcibly stuffing these jobs to me, I didn't expect to be able to develop these DLCs on my own." ”

"The DLC of "Sea Fortress" is basically Brother Huang's idea, and I just cooperate with him."

Lin Wan smiled slightly: "Don't be too modest, although modesty is a virtue, it will also affect self-confidence." ”

"Mr. Pei obviously hopes to train everyone to be an all-rounder, and take out anyone who can take charge of it alone, rather than just being a replaceable screw."

"Summarize the experience of this time, maybe Mr. Pei will give you more similar tasks in the future."

Wang Xiaobin nodded: "Okay, then I'll go and get busy first." ”

He returned to his workstation and after one final check-up, he officially updated the new versions of Back to the Shore and Sea Fortress.

This old game update plan is divided into two parts: "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Producer" are updated relatively early because there is not much content; The two games, "Turning Back to the Shore" and "Sea Fortress", have a lot of updates, and they have been delayed until this month.

In particular, "Sea Fortress" is almost a rework of a whole new set of plot modes.

This DLC tells the story of Qin Yi going deep into the hive when he was the leader of the special squad before he became a commander, and the synopsis of the story was completely provided by Huang Sibo, which is said to be closely related to the game plot of "Mission and Choice".

Wang Xiaobin didn't know what the specific plot of the game "Mission and Choice" was, but according to Huang Sibo's requirements and the information given, he seriously organized people to develop this DLC for warm-up in advance.

Now that all DLCs have been developed, Wang Xiaobin has successfully completed the task assigned to him by Mr. Pei, and he can finally relax.

"I don't know what happened to Ye Zhizhou now, shouldn't he really wait for the championship to come back?"

Wang Xiaobin has always complained about Mr. Pei's transfer of Ye Zhizhou to Los Angeles as a tactical analyst.

The person in charge of Yuyang Games and the head of GOG international server operations actually went all the way to Los Angeles to do tactical analysis, which is really a bit of a knife.

Originally, Wang Xiaobin had a lot of questions to ask Ye Zhizhou during the development of the DLC, but he couldn't ask them, because of the time difference between the two sides, and Ye Zhizhou seemed to be very busy over there.

But Wang Xiaobin didn't dare to beep more, after all, this was personally requested by Mr. Pei.

"It's just an e-sports competition held by IOI, and I don't understand why Mr. Pei attaches so much importance to it. Is there something special about it? ”

"Forget it, I'd better do my own thing."

Wang Xiaobin released DLC for both games, and then paid close attention to player feedback.

……

At the same time, the sloth apartment.

Qiao Liang had just woken up, and while eating the fish takeaway that was delivered to his door regularly, he was bored and swiping his mobile phone.

"GPL games don't start until five o'clock in the afternoon, so this afternoon, should I play a game or make a video?"

"Well, let's play the game."

"But there haven't been any good games to play for a long time lately."

"The world finals of ioi are also Sunday mornings when the FV team plays, which is really frustrating."

It only took Qiao Liang half a second to reject the idea of making a new video, and happily decided to touch the fish.

It's just that even if you fish, there are no too good options, because there really aren't any special masterpieces that deserve attention recently.

At this time, Qiao Liang wanted to take a taxi directly to the Tengda game headquarters, put the knife on his neck and threatened Mr. Pei: If the new game is not made, I will die to show you!

Of course, just think about it, you can't really do that.

Qiao Liang knows very well that Mr. Pei is actually a very strict person, and every time a new game is made, not only to change the game type, but also to make a breakthrough in the previous game.

It will not be like many game manufacturers, after a successful game, they start to copy themselves infinitely, change their skins and start to continue to make money.

Mr. Pei's development habits have indeed allowed him to make continuous progress in the field of game design, and he can bring eye-catching works to players every time, but it also means that the investment is getting bigger and longer.

In fact, the new DLC of "Lonely Desert Road" and "Game Producer" has hinted that the next game will be a sci-fi game, and the many easter eggs and details buried in it make Qiao Liang's heart itch.

As a result, after waiting for so long, Mr. Pei's new game is still nowhere to be seen, and his previous enthusiasm is basically running away.

Qiao Liang was bored and scrolled through the Elle website for a while, and then opened his fan base again.

"Huh? "Turning Back to the Shore" and "Sea Fortress" have also been updated with DLC? ”

“…… Neurotic! ”

"How can these old games be updated endlessly, isn't it good to concentrate all the people to make new games quickly?"

"Hey, forget it, as long as this DLC can maintain a consistent level, I don't care."

Qiao Liang complained a few words, but he also knew in his heart that his idea was still relatively unreasonable.

Although he would love to play a new game quickly, such a large game would have taken a long time to develop. And game development is not a thing like the more people there are, the faster, and what one programmer can do in 100 days, it is impossible for 100 programmers to do it in one day.

What's more, updating the DLC for old games, no matter how you look at it, this is something that only conscientious developers do, and there is nothing to blame.

Qiao Liang immediately opened the two games and checked the update announcement.

Compared with the DLC of "Lonely Desert Highway", which is 5 times more expensive than the main body, the DLC of these two games can be said to be very conscientious.

The "Turning Back to the Shore" DLC costs 18 yuan, and the "Sea Fortress" DLC is still updated for free as before, but with a new epic weapon.

Qiao Liang paid first, and then began to read the update announcements of the two games.

After all, most old players have absolute trust in Tengda, and Tengda's pricing in this aspect of the game will definitely be set at an absolutely value-for-money price, and you can't buy it at a loss or be fooled.

The update of "Turning Back" is mainly in terms of gameplay, with a new "reincarnation mode", mainly for hardcore players who have cleared the game many times, and it is easier to clear this dangerous game than visiting their own back garden.

In the "Reincarnation Mode", a new reincarnation will be started every month based on the real natural month.

After entering the reincarnation mode, the state of the character returns to the beginning, but all the monsters in the map, drops, etc. will be random within certain rules, that is, it is possible to encounter more powerful monsters in the early stage and drop more powerful equipment.

Of course, there are certain rules for randomness to prevent unknown bugs from appearing.

In addition, players can choose to adjust the difficulty of the game at the Buddha statue, or regenerate the entire world (the part that has not been challenged) at random, with a limit of seven times in a month.

If you clear the "Reincarnation Mode" within a month, you will be given a permanent character look, including a full set of outfits and weapons.

The DLC content of "Sea Fortress" is said to be a new story mode and a new epic weapon, and the rest is not further elaborated, probably waiting for players to experience it for themselves in the game.

"It seems that the DLC of "Turning Back to the Shore" is more interesting, even if "Sea Fortress" updates the story mode, it may only be an hour or two, this game is so old, you can't do another four or five hours of plot, right? Isn't that more money burned? ”

Qiao Liang first opened the "Turning Back to the Shore" experience.

As a veteran player who has suffered many times, Qiao Liang already knows the content of "Turning Back to the Shore" well, and remembers everything clearly what monsters are in which place and what things will drop.

It's not that I have a good memory, it's just that I've been abused a lot.

Anyone who dies in the same place dozens of times will be impressed by this place.

Although there is no substantial game content update for this DLC, it can still be seen that the designers have put a lot of effort into doing a good job in this new mode, and it has really improved the playability and fun of the game.

Although it is a random mode, different monsters, bosses, and items can cause bugs in the game when they are randomly located in a specific place, or the entire game flow can be stuck, and in order to avoid these problems, the development team has obviously thought a lot about it, and has made rules to avoid this situation as much as possible.

Although it's still the same map, the monster locations and drop items have changed, so the previous speedrun route is naturally not easy to use, and veteran players can push the entire map from the beginning with a fresh feeling, and the process is full of surprises.

Considering the selling price of only 18 yuan, it can be said that you can't buy it at a loss and you can't be fooled.

It is conceivable that in the future, clearing the reincarnation mode of "Turning Back to the Shore" once a month will become a monthly task for veteran players, and getting a few more commemorative weapons and appearances can better reflect their identity as old players.

Qiao Liang played for a while, and was very satisfied with the reincarnation mode of this update of "Turning Back to the Shore", so he saved the progress for the time being, and waited to play slowly.

Then, he opened Sea Fortress to check out the game's DLC content.

Although Sea Fortress is widely known for its 888 fire unicorn and rich battle mode, the plot of this game is definitely not bad.

When the game first came out, many players fell into the pit because of the unique plot of "Sea Fortress" among domestic FPS games.

Strictly speaking, the plot of "Sea Fortress" is very simple, the player is interacting with a little girl who can't speak the whole time except for shooting, but even such a simple plot is still very good after doing enough details.

As early as that time, Mr. Pei's talent in game plot design was undoubtedly revealed.

Qiao Liang pondered, how can the plot of this DLC not be more than the plot content of the original work, right?

If you consider the original plot scale, it will shrink a little...... Then the game flow should be quite short, and it will be completed in a while.

Qiao Liang thought about it while entering the plot mode of "Sea Fortress".
