Chapter 371 Clearing the Clouds for Mod Authors

"Huh? How do you say this?"

Many barrages feel that this is a bit nonsensical. How do you call it screening game mods that "best match the style of Against Heaven"?

But the more Chen Tingquan thought about it, the more it made sense, and he hurriedly explained: "Hey, think about it, for any game that has a creative workshop, do you download a lot of mods on it?

"In other words, will you give priority to looking for mods on the creative workshop, or on the N Internet?

"Do you think there is any essential difference between these two channels? Is there anything unique and irreplaceable about the creative workshop?"

These words made the barrage a little confused, and the audience obviously fell into thinking for a short time, but soon the answers to these questions were found.

"Go to the N network to find more mods."

"I just looked for it on the Creative Workshop. It's convenient here. You can download it with just one click."

"But the creative workshop mods are not complete."

"The irreplaceability of the creative workshop...it should be convenience, right?"

Everyone was talking about it. Although everyone generally believed that Creative Workshop and N Network had their own advantages and disadvantages, there was actually no essential difference.

The advantage of the creative workshop is "convenience". After all, you can install it directly into the game by clicking the download button, while on the N network, you need to download the file and then manually put it in the root directory.

However, the number of mods on the N network is larger and more comprehensive. In many cases, the number of mods is even two or three times more than that of the creative workshop.

This is because the N network has many foreign games and mods made by global modders, while the creative workshop only has domestic modders. In addition, mods from the creative workshop must undergo a more complex review to ensure full compatibility with the game, which is not required on the N network.

But generally speaking, for domestic authors, after making a mod, they will basically submit it to the N network and the creative workshop at the same time, in order to pursue as much exposure as possible for the mod. This is especially true for popular mods.

Chen Tingquan strategically stroked his non-existent long beard, and then said confidently: "So, Ni Tiantian's move is actually to distinguish the role of the Creative Workshop and N Network!

"Think about it carefully. So far, is Master Mod the only mod that has been placed as the default download bar on the homepage by Nitiantian? But other mods don't have this kind of treatment, right?

"Why is this?

“When everyone was suffering, Nitiantian deliberately installed the master mod by default and kept it at the top of the creative workshop. Later, everyone found a way to crack it, but Nitiantian deleted the master mod. Why? ?”

There were many question marks floating on the barrage. Obviously, everyone was a little confused, especially Chen Tingquan's Riddler behavior.

Yes, why?

Isn't it some idiot leader from Nitian who is playing a role?

Chen Tingquan coughed twice: "Ahem! I think there is another explanation for this matter, a more reasonable explanation!

"On the surface, Nitiantian seems to only accept high-difficulty mods and not functional mods. But if you think about it carefully, there are obviously many functional mods in the master mod, such as modifications to the time-stop ability.

"Then why did Nitian accept the master mod and put it on the homepage?

"Did Nitian not find that there is a functional mod in this mod? I think it is unlikely. Most of Nitian's reviewers are professionals and may not make such low-level mistakes.

“I think the greater possibility is that Nitiantian does not accept purely functional mods that reduce the difficulty of the game for players, because this will affect the players’ fun!

"Nitiantian hopes to have more high-difficulty mods to bring more challenging fun to players. Among many high-difficulty mods, if we can take into account both functional adjustments and difficulty improvements, we can add some discoverable elements. …That’s what Nitiantian really wants, and this is the ultimate reason why Master Mod can stand out!”

The audience was all stunned for a long time. After a long time, a lonely barrage floated over: "But... Nitiantian has removed the master mod from the shelves again?"

Chen Tingquan has obviously already thought of an explanation: "Yes, this is normal!

"Because the position on the homepage is precious! If master mods are not removed from the shelves, how can new excellent mods stand out?

"Everyone knows that the master mod is fun, so you can download it from the N network, download from the group, or download from the forum. There are many downloading channels. If it continues to be posted on the homepage of the creative workshop, everyone will continue to download the master mod. I’m afraid the new mod won’t be able to take off.”

The barrage asked weakly: "Can't you put several mods on the homepage?"

Chen Tingquan shook his head slightly: "No, because these mods will definitely have compatibility issues. For a mod of this size, the official can only push one at a time."

Some people in the live broadcast room have begun to realize, and posted "It makes sense" barrages.

Needless to say, the compatibility issue is really a big problem!

Mods as large as the master mod often modify many resources in the game, such as the art resources of the beast god, as well as various materials, weapons, props, etc. dropped by the beast god.

Gandi can barely make the master mod archive compatible with the official archive, which is not easy.

For other mods, if the parts modified by the master mod are not modified, it is fine. Once the same modification is made, it is possible that one of the mods will become invalid, or even the game files will be damaged and the game will crash.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Ni Tian Tang to only recommend one mod each time from the perspective of game stability.

Since the gameplay of the master mod has been almost discovered, players have also understood it, and there are many download channels outside, then the official Ni Tian Tang will vacate the mod recommendation position on the homepage to find the next more promising integrated excellent mod.

And the master mod has been questioned from the high difficulty to the discovery of the hidden mechanism reversal. Doesn't this also conform to the game design concept of Ni Tian Tang?

From this point of view, the mod review standards of Ni Tian Tang seem to be untraceable, but in fact they still exist?

First of all, it cannot be a functional mod that simply reduces the difficulty for players, which will destroy the gameplay of the game itself.

Secondly, although mods that increase the difficulty are relatively more popular, if they only increase the difficulty, they will only pass the review and will not be recommended on the homepage and default download.

Only a mod like the Master Mod, which not only increases the difficulty and creates new challenges for players, but also optimizes the functionality and provides some special gameplay for players to discover, can be recognized by the official and put on the homepage of the Creative Workshop to promote it to all players!

And when the players have completely cracked the mystery of the Master Mod, the official will delete this mod and leave the position for the next excellent mod, hiding its name and reputation.

"So that's it, I understand! The reason why my mod didn't pass the review is because the difficulty is not high enough and the puzzle is not deep enough! I'll change it now!"

Chen Tingquan's words, like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, pointed out a clear way for all mod authors of "Endless Fantasy Legend"!
