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 working on.

As an amateur, although Gan Di's skills are pretty good, he doesn't make mods for every game. He only makes mods if he likes the game, if the game is popular, and if the mod changes the game significantly.

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 they are not yet completely completed. They are still in the final stages, and some specific functional details and data parameters are still being adjusted.

"Haa~"

Emperor Gan yawned and was about to continue pushing forward the progress of these mods, when he saw someone on the video website sending him a private message.

"Emperor Liver! Look, Ni Tiantian is opening a creative workshop! There is also a mod collection event!"

The Gan Emperor 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 are made 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 without 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 a creative workshop. Basically, it is to thank the official and players for their support. XX Game’s creative workshop is officially open. .

What follows is the focus.

"Nitiantian Games is now open to all outstanding modders, soliciting the following types of mods:

"Incredible challenge

"The arduous journey

"An unexpected setback

"A crushing desperate situation

“Things the production team wanted to do but didn’t dare to do”

In the reward column, the official writing 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 works that are not recognized by players will also receive special official 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 appear suddenly during a relatively smooth game process. difficult levels or challenges.

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, in the game "Ascension", there was 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 high-difficulty mods are originally an extremely niche category in the mod community, and not many people play them.

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 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's even more incredible. What do you mean by "the production team wants to do it but doesn't dare to do it"?

What exactly did the production team want to do? Only this devil knows!

It can’t be that the production team wants to disgust the players but doesn’t dare to, so they leave it to the mod author to do it? That’s too outrageous!

As for the rewards, it’s even more strange.

Officially recognized excellent works will be given priority download or 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 cautious when selecting this kind of automatic download mod, and most players will not turn on this option, but prefer to download it themselves. But there are also a small number of players who will choose to turn it on by default.

So this one seems quite reasonable at first glance.

But the next one is very strange.

"Excellent works that are not recognized by players will also receive special compensation rewards from the official."

Logically speaking, "works recognized by players" should often be "works recognized by the official". Does it mean that player recognition and official recognition are two standards?

From the beginning to the end, there is no mention of what will happen to "works recognized by players".

If you just pick on the words, it does give people a weird feeling, but everyone obviously didn't think too much about it, and still assumed that the creative workshop of Against Heaven should adopt similar rules as the creative workshops of other games.

It's nothing more than players with more likes and downloads will be ranked first, get recommended positions, etc.

The liver emperor was about to close the page when he suddenly found a line of small words at the bottom of the page.

This line of small words has an asterisk in front of it. The font itself is very small, and the color is close to the background color. It is really difficult for ordinary people to notice it.

"All mods will be uploaded after being reviewed by the official platform and Against Heaven. The game of Against Heaven has the final right of interpretation of this event. ”
