Chapter 1089 Both Chapter 1092 Planning a New Combat System for "Return to the Shore"! (Plus More)

According to the unspoken rules of developing DLC, the basic gameplay and combat system of the game must not be greatly changed. At most, new maps, new bosses, new weapons, and new skills are based on the original content.

But this obviously cannot meet Pei Qian's needs.

Because of the DLC developed in this way, players will definitely buy it without thinking!

It can't play the effect of reducing game sales at all.

Pei Qian's first goal is to make players buy less "Return to the Shore" body, so that after the income drops, he can logically free the "Return to the Shore" body without being warned by the system.

Therefore, the DLC must be placed before the main body content, forcing players to experience the DLC first and then the main body, and the DLC is more difficult than the main body.

In this way, those players who haven't bought the main body of "Return to the Shore" can't get through the DLC, can't get a 30% discount, and are reluctant to buy the main body at the original price, won't the sales drop?

Coincidentally, the plot content of "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation" happens to be the story that happened before the plot of the main body, and the protagonist of the DLC is set to be the first prisoner.

This provided theoretical support for Pei Qian's show operation.

You are optimistic about the system, the content of the DLC is in the front, and the content of the main body is in the back. It is not my intention to make trouble. The author's plot setting is like this. I changed it to follow the timeline!

Then comes the second question, how to make the DLC more difficult than the main body.

The purely numerical difficulty can't be increased, after all, Pei Qian has to ensure that he can pass the level.

If you want to continue to increase the difficulty, you can only work hard on the gameplay.

This means that the basic combat system of "Return to the Shore" also has to be changed.

Fortunately, the story of "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation" also has some details in this respect, which can be used.

Of course, the so-called utilization is nothing more than far-fetched and forced to rely on.

On the surface, it is using the identity of the protagonist "War God", but in fact it is purely for increasing the difficulty and dissuading players.

Pei Qian quickly came up with a rough idea, coughed twice and said, "There is nothing wrong with your original idea. But the problem is that it's too conservative, and it doesn't feel like it's a brand new story."

"DLC must bring different feelings to the players. If it's just minor repairs on the basis of the original battle, how can it live up to the expectations of the players? I'm also sorry for the hard work the original author put in to conceive the plot. !"

This remark made Yu Fei, the author of "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation", a little embarrassed.

In fact, he didn't think much about it when he wrote this story. He just felt that the identity of the prisoner was rather special, and he could dig deeper, so he made up such a slightly clichéd story.

Pei is always the producer of "Return to the Shore", and obviously has the highest right to interpret the plots related to "Return to the Shore".

It is already very good to get the approval of Mr. Pei for the plot I just wrote casually. I don't expect the production team to produce it completely according to my own plot.

But Mr. Pei's statement made him feel a strong sense of respect.

Pei Qian continued: "In my opinion, it should be changed like this."

"First of all, the content of the DLC happened before the plot of the main body. Since this is the case, we should obviously let players experience the content of the DLC first, and then experience the content of the main body."

"So, it is set so that the DLC can be purchased and experienced separately from the main body. Players who have purchased the main body of "Return to the Shore" before the release of the DLC will not be affected."

"You must get through the content of the previous chapters before you can pay for the DLC; and if you get through the DLC, you will get a 30% discount when you pay for the main body of "Return to the Shore."

"This will guide new players to play the DLC first, and then play the game itself."

"This sequence must be clear, so that the player's game experience is consistent with the timeline of the story!"

"Although this is only a fairly detailed part, the more details you have, the more you can't ignore them!"

Hu Xianbin and others rushed to record.

This rule sounds a bit strange. How can there be a reason why DLC can be purchased separately on its own, and players are encouraged to play DLC first?

Never heard of doing that.

But all of you here are old employees after all. After seeing Mr. Pei's coquettish operations on other games, especially "BE QUIET", this kind of operation is no longer surprising.

Since Boss Pei arranged it this way, there must be some reason for it!

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Pei Qian was very satisfied.

He thought for a while, and continued: "Secondly, the gameplay of the DLC of "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation" must be differentiated from the previous one!"

""Return to the Shore" is already a game two years ago, and its combat system is a bit outdated. Moreover, in the past two years, the player's tolerance threshold has been continuously raised, and the veteran players have become more and more proficient in playing. Can pass the level, and new players can also find a lot of strategy videos on the Internet, the difficulty of this game is no longer comparable to when we first saw it.”

"So, we want to innovate the combat system of "Return to the Shore" and bring some new challenges to the players!"

"And this point can just start from the details in the novel "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation"."

"According to the setting in the novel "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation", the protagonist is a martial god in the world, a super expert at the Dugu Qiubai level, and can even kill black and white impermanence."

"This is obviously inconsistent with the setting in the main plot of "Return to the Shore": the protagonist is an ordinary person, which is completely inconsistent."

"We should allow the protagonist of the Valkyrie in the DLC of "Eternal Fall" to master more martial arts, make more fancy operations, and have a unique set of combat mechanisms!"

"When describing battles in novels, the breath of the protagonist is often described. When two masters confront each other, the side with disordered breath will often fall into decline quickly, while the side with smooth breath will gradually gain the upper hand."

"So, on the basis of the original physical strength value, add another 'breath value'."

"The icon of breath value is somewhat similar to the shape of lungs, divided into three states: green, white, yellow, and red. At the same time, this icon will have a breathing effect, which is constantly expanding and shrinking like human breathing. The level represents the amount of gas in the lungs."

"The breath value icon expands, and the gas volume in the lungs increases, which means inhalation; the breath value icon shrinks, and the gas volume in the lungs decreases, which means exhalation."

"And the four colors of the icon, green, white, yellow, and red, represent the breath state of the protagonist. Green represents a smooth breath, white represents normal, yellow represents haste, and red represents disorder."

"Accompanied by the exhalation and inhalation of the breath value icon, the system will also play the sound effect of exhalation and inhalation, so that the player can better understand the current state of the protagonist's breath."

"Whether it's attacking or parrying, it's best to exert force while exhaling. Of course, if the situation is urgent, it's okay to exert force while inhaling, but the protagonist will automatically speed up and adjust the breath. becomes exhalation."

"But this kind of situation can't be too much. If you frequently exert force against your breath, your breath will gradually become disordered, and you need to calm down and adjust slowly."

"On the contrary, if you can exert force at the right time every time, your breathing will become very smooth, and your attack power and damage value will be improved."

"The enemy will also have a breath value setting. When the enemy's breath value falls into a disordered state, the protagonist can find the flaws in the enemy's moves. No matter how much blood he has, he will kill him with one blow and execute the execution action. !"

"In addition, the setting of physical strength is also different from before."

"The previous stamina was consumed quickly and recovered quickly, which is inconsistent with our understanding of 'stamina' in the traditional sense."

"After the introduction of 'breath value', the setting of physical strength will also change. The total amount of physical strength is very large. Although actions such as attacking, parrying and dodging will consume physical strength, the consumption is very slow and the recovery is also slow."

"The breath value will affect the consumption of physical strength. If the breath is smooth, the physical strength will be consumed slowly and recovered quickly; if the breath is disordered, the physical strength consumption will increase significantly."

"After the stamina value is reduced to a certain threshold, it means that there is a gap in the physical strength of the two parties. When the weaker party parries the opponent's attack, the judgment conditions will become more stringent. Once the physical strength is on the verge of exhaustion, it is easy for the opponent to break through and disrupt the breath. , perform the execution action."

"In addition, specific combat techniques must be adjusted."

"The original battle was too boring. It was nothing more than rolling and dodging, not greedy for knives, and slowly grinding the boss to death through the back panel. This mode can be used on ordinary people, but since the protagonist of the DLC is a Valkyrie, then Absolutely can't fight like this, the sense of violation is too strong!"

"In the new combat system, in addition to the original attack action, the main modification is the action of 'unfolding'."

"The enemy's attack will be divided into upper attack, middle attack and lower attack, and there will be left and right points."

"Use step dodging to dodge in the upper stage, lower your head to dodge, use parry to defend in the middle attack, and jump up to dodge in the lower attack."

"This is a basic operation, and the protagonist's identity is the God of War, so in addition to these conventional handling methods, God of War can also be used to deal with it."

"Seeing a move is also a parry, but its requirements are more demanding. Not only does it need to grasp the timing very accurately, but also needs to use the right joystick to add a direction to judge."

"After the player locks on the target, if the opponent's attack comes from the upper left of the player, then the player needs to push the right joystick to the upper left first, and then press the parry button at the moment of the attack, so that it can form The perfect parry of 'seeing the trick and dismantling the trick', while not taking any damage, disrupts the opponent's breath value and makes the opponent stiff for a short time."

"The same is true for attacks from other directions, such as directly above, below right, and right. Push the right stick or mouse in the corresponding direction to trigger the perfect operation of 'see tricks'. If you don't push the stick or push in the wrong direction If it is accurate, it can only trigger ordinary parry, although it can be prevented, but it may cause injury or cause your own aura to be disordered."

"Individual bosses have super-charged attacks, and it's best to avoid such attacks. But there is also the possibility of breaking them with 'see tricks', but the conditions are very strict."

Hu Xianbin showed a shocked expression while recording.

The change of this combat system is too big, and quite bold!

Not only does the original enemy's attack be subdivided into six directions of attack (up, middle, down + left and right), which makes the player's handling more complicated, but also adds the setting of breath value.

For the Great God, if you want to fight a perfect boss battle, you need to constantly check and dismantle moves, look at the direction of the attack to parry, and also need to pay attention to your breath value at all times, it is best to keep it at The state of "smooth breathing".

In this way, the combat experience will become a bit like a fighting game, and you need to control the direction button to adjust the direction of the block. If you really play it, it will definitely become extremely fancy.

If the master player can master this set of fighting skills and quickly beat the boss into chaos, then the quick kill may be much faster than before.

But for ordinary hand-disabled players, the game experience may be another matter. It is very likely that he messed up his breath while playing, and then was easily executed by the boss.

It can be said that this is a very bold change, but also quite risky!

Hu Xianbin said: "Mr. Pei, such a big change in the combat system means that the difficulty of the entire game has to be adjusted again, right?"

Pei Qian nodded: "Of course."

It's not for the sake of the players that the difficulty is adjusted, but mainly for the sake of clearing the level.

After all, Pei Qian is very self-aware. To design such a perverted combat system by himself, and to adjust his breath, it is worth pushing the right joystick to parry like a fighting game. Judging from his handicap, it is absolutely impossible to do it.

Therefore, you have to find a way to open a back door so that you can pass the customs smoothly.

I mentioned the update arrangement before, and I want to emphasize it again. This week’s words may not be necessarily, it may be 4,000 words in one chapter, or 10,000 words in three chapters. If it goes well, starting from next week, including the whole month of December, there will be a burst of updates. The whole month of December will be updated with a base of 250,000 words, which is only a lot more. At that time, a single chapter will be opened to ask for tickets. I hope everyone can get a monthly ticket. stay~
