"Alpha0.9 Version Developer Diary"

Xiaoqi: "Hello everyone, I am the dearest assistant of your dearest planner Aguang! Since Laundry Gull took the lead in working overtime, which caused the collective anger of the development department, planning department, and art department, we decided to He put it in a can of starfish and sold it to the mutant tribe... Anyway, we finally got the Alpha0.9 version. This update is of great significance. Since Aguang is still working overtime, I have been entrusted to talk to you this time. The design ideas and gameplay of the new version! ”

"First of all, the biggest change in Alpha 0.9 version compared to version 0.8 is that we have added a career system and skill proficiency settings to "Wasteland OL"."

"To be honest, we were very hesitant when we made this decision. After all, what we originally wanted to do was a sandbox game that focused on leisure and entertainment with freedom and virtual community as its selling points. There was not even a character interface. The idea of ​​a career seems to run counter to that.”

"However, as game content continues to enrich and players are increasingly involved in open world affairs, our NPCs are gradually falling into a dilemma - that is, the things they can do are limited, how to use the limited opportunity to those who need it more.”

"Zhang San likes fishing and Li Si likes farming. We have a hoe and a fishing rod in our hands. The ideal situation is to give Zhang San the fishing rod and the hoe to Li Si. But now the number of players has increased to 800. , it would be unfair to decide who should do the task in an official way, so we need to set a standard!”

"And the career system and skill proficiency are just for this!"

"Take logging as an example. When a player carries a VM to chop down trees or completes a logging task, the proficiency of the logging skill will automatically accumulate. When the upper limit is reached, the skill level will be upgraded. The minimum level is 0 and the maximum level is 10. This level Regardless of the gene sequence level, the level of each skill is calculated independently. Although the skill level improvement will not bring you an intuitive work efficiency bonus, it can unlock more benefits related to the skill for you. Missions, and even unlock exclusive titles – such as Ace Lumberjack or Forest Destroyer!”

"In addition to logging, skills that can improve proficiency include firearms, throwing, archery, fighting, medicine, scavenging, slaughtering, cooking, construction, tailoring, metallurgy, manufacturing, planting, mining, etc... More than 40 types, more Players are asked to explore for details!”

"Compared to the skill proficiency system, the 'career system' is more like a status symbol or title."

"For example, after the warehouse manager 'Guo Niu' takes up the job as a scavenger, his proficiency in scavenging skills will accumulate faster, and he will be entrusted with important tasks in the scavenging work. He will receive the exclusive privileges of the scavenger profession, and after the conditions are met, he can Become a 'Scavenger Master' or even a 'Garbage King'!"

“You can work as a farmer or butcher with the granary manager ‘Guo Ma’, unlock more seeds or receive more slaughter orders.”

"In addition, some professions have certain skill proficiency thresholds. For example, if you want to become a hunter and hunt more worthy targets, you need to reach level 3 in any one of the three skills of firearms, throwing, and archery. Or pay 10 silver coins to start the hunting skill assessment.”

"Similar occupations include soldiers, architects, prospectors, etc. In the future, mercenaries, adventurers, engineers and other occupations will be opened. Please pay attention to the official website for more information!"

"New players can only register one profession. As the status level increases, the number of professions that can be registered will also increase. For example, a citizen can register two professions, a medium citizen can register three, and so on. Registered professions can be canceled at any time. , but the achievements and titles related to this profession will also be cleared, so please choose carefully!”

"In addition, we will solve the camera problem in the next version and allow players to record beautiful moments with the camera."

"If the next version doesn't solve it, the next version will definitely do it!"

…

In less than a minute after the update announcement and development log were released, hundreds of comments were refreshed at the speed of light at the bottom of the post.

However, the reason why players are so excited is not because of the newly launched career system.

It can even be said that it has nothing to do with the content of this major update of the version.

Shadow Moon Canfeng: "Baimao! It's Baimao! Baimao controls ecstasy! (Broken sound)"

This boy was really horrified: "It's too bitter, it's too bitter!"

Irena: "No one calls me wife? Then I'll call you wife. (Funny)"

Quit smoking: "Planner dad is awesome! (broken voice)"

Tail: "prprpr"

Si Si: "Hey! This person! No, this tail!"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "Tsk tsk, don't any of you LSPs care about the career system and skill proficiency of this update? What about such an important matter and topic! Why is it all going to an NPC! (Knocking on the table)"

Fang Chang: "Sorry, this planning is too good. (Nosebleed)"

Ye Shi: "+1, Brother Mole gkd! (Funny)"

The fugitive mole in the canyon: "Gan! How come even Fang Chang, a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has switched sides!"

The post was abuzz.

The same goes for forums outside of posts.

The official website has been completely overwhelmed by these cloud players, shady netizens and people who have fun.

Especially in this Alpha0.9 version, the number of players has increased from 500 to 800!

This time, 300 test quotas were released all at once, which excited all the newbies who wanted to leave the country and join the European Union.

What is the concept of more than 200 award-winning speeches appearing on the forum at the same time?

Not to mention there are tens of thousands of people who enjoy lemons and tens of thousands of people who eat melons.

At the most exaggerated time, posts were refreshing the screen at almost 5 meters per second. The newly posted post was like a stone thrown into the river, sinking directly to the second page.

I refreshed it again and couldn't find it at all.

The server was not crippled. It seems that this operator has also spent a lot of money!

After reading the announcement, Lao Bai glanced at the number of reservations.

Good guy, it was 23333 a few minutes ago, but in the blink of an eye, it jumped to 27777, heading straight for the 30,000 mark!

Do these people answer questions so quickly? !

…

Cow and Horse Club Group.

No one is discussing the new version on the official website. Everyone can only go to their own small groups to discuss it.

There are really mosquitoes in WC: "I feel so comfortable! I contributed just enough 10,000 points, and I was able to fly straight to the top of the human world! (Baring teeth)"

Kuangfeng: "I have 12,000. Sure enough, saving contributions is still useful."

Tomato scrambled eggs: "Gan, I'm still 2,000 short, how did you pay? How come it's so fast!"

Quit smoking: "That's it! I just became a citizen, you liver emperors are too exaggerated! QAQ"

Ye Shi: "Great, I can buy land again! (Funny)"

Citizen level requires 2,000 contribution points, and mid-level citizen requires almost five times that amount.

However, this does not mean that it is five times more difficult to upgrade from a citizen to a medium citizen. After all, as the level increases, the benefits of the tasks also increase simultaneously.

If you are serious, you can get there in about a month. If you are more casual, two or three months will be enough. The daily life guarantee is 120 points a day, not to mention that after LV5, many tasks will go directly to the 200~500 level. As long as the equipment and As the level goes up, the contribution rate is still very fast.

For example, the group owners and dog managers have been brushing up on the greenhouse ruins recently. The silver coins and contribution income are basically four digits, and the contribution will be slightly higher. The average daily income can reach up to 600 tribute, and the lowest is about 400 tribute.

Some professional life players are also similar, such as Mosquito. The warehouse has long-term orders for making nitrocellulose, and this demand has been strong for a long time.

Especially after the regional reputation system was updated in version 0.8, the material donation function was opened, giving daily players another way to contribute.

As long as you donate strategic materials, you will not only gain the regional reputation of the "capital", but also gain some general contribution points for this force!

Ten thousand points of contribution is really not a lot.

The topic quickly changed to the new career system and skill proficiency system.

Fang Chang: "I just played the game, and my archery skill proficiency was actually 4."

Lao Bai: "It seems that the previous proficiency is also taken into account."

Fang Chang: "To be precise, it should be the proficiency accumulated after getting the VM. You can make a bold guess, maybe our current proficiency level is designed based on those behavioral data."

Ye Shi: “It’s true that managers collect our personal information through VM. (Funny)”

Kuang Feng: "By the way, what career do you plan to take?"

Fang Chang: "A medium-sized citizen can bring three. In my case, I would tentatively call them a hunter, a soldier, and a prospector."

Gale: "Without scavengers?"

Fang Chang: "There are not enough grids, so there is no other way. Hunters must bring them, as well as the money-making artifact, and the hunting income bonus. Needless to say, soldiers, they are probably the son of the version. Didn't they update some bones recently? Tribe? There will definitely be a chance to use it. Do you need to talk about the ecological laboratory site?"

Quit smoking: "Boss! What's the best career for a newcomer? QAQ"

Fang Chang: "You are in the physical system. If you are in the strength system, you can first add a lumberjack and increase the strength attribute. As for physical fitness and perception, add a scavenger. This is the ultimate professional. Once you are promoted to a citizen, you can bring a hunter. Or soldier, depending on how you plan to play this version."

Ye Shi: "It's always a shame to pick up trash! I don't care, I have to pick up trash anyway. (Funny)"

Trash Picking Level 99: "Who is calling me???"

Ye Shi: "Hey! You are still in the group."

Garbage Picking Level 99: "Gan! Look, are you speaking in human language?"

Since the last battle, this lizard man has been "hibernating" and has not been active in the group recently.

It’s been a long time since we last saw each other, and Ye Shi actually felt a sense of familiarity.

Kuangfeng: "By the way, have you checked out the new map?"

Fang Chang: "I'm planning to go, do you want to come with me?"

Kuangfeng: "Let's go!"

Lao Bai: "Huh? Aren't you going to have class soon?"

Kuang Feng: "There is no class this morning. I can play until I log off at 12 o'clock."

Ye Shi: "What a coincidence, I don't have any classes today, so I can reward myself for the whole day. (Funny)"

Lao Bai: "You better take it easy, kid. Don't play games every day. Don't have a girlfriend in college. If you go out into society, be careful of being deceived."

Ye Shi: "Haha, what kind of person should we talk to? Is it because the food is not good or the game is not good? The third dimension is a Shete. You go and roll it. I have a small fish and that's enough. (Funny)"

Kuang Feng: "This sentence is enough for you to be sentenced."

Ye Shi: "Speaking of which, don't keep talking about me. When I go to the cafeteria, I occasionally run into schoolgirls who ask me for WeChat. What do you think? I'm almost 30 years old. I go online and play games on time every day. I'm so self-disciplined that I have no sex." Is it appropriate to live like this?"

Fang Chang: "Tsk, kick this guy."

Gale: "+1, and it's not that I don't want to, I just find it boring and boring."

Lao Bai: "I'll open a voting post."

[The group owner initiates a vote: Should the poop be kicked out? 1. Yes, 2. Agree]

Ye Shi: "Gan! Where's friendship? Also, why the hell do both options involve kicking me!"

Garbage Picking Level 99: "Hahahaha, who wants you to be so hateful? That's right!"

We are all old friends, and if we usually make a joke, it is naturally impossible for us to actually play it.

The group leader had something else to do during the day, so he didn't go online.

Fang Chang, Kuang Feng, and Ye Shi had breakfast, made an appointment to put on their helmets again, and soon returned to the line.

They thought there would be a lot of people queuing in front of the elevator tower on the B2 floor, but when they came to the lobby, they found that there were not as many people as they thought.

Take a closer look, my dear, there is actually a new safety passage next to the elevator tower!

Was there a wall here before?

It seems that operators are also aware of the problem of insufficient elevator capacity in shelters.

With the opening of the B3 floor, players who don't want to wait for the elevator can now move between the open floors through the stairs.

It would be great if the elevator outside could also be upgraded!

Come to floor B3.

Fang Chang looked around, touched his chin, thought for a moment, and gave his own evaluation.

"The layout here looks quite similar to the B2 floor."

Ye Shi also said.

"I can't say they are very similar, they are exactly the same."

Kuang Feng looked at the wall beside him, where a plan structure diagram was reflected.

"There is still a slight difference. Look at the corridor between Area A and Area B. At the end of the corridor in Area B2 is a locked warehouse. At the same location on the B3 floor, the space is obviously several times larger. Several more areas to explore.”

"Well, I noticed it just now," Fang Chang nodded, "It seems that the core area of ​​the new floor is there... Anyway, let's go and have a look."

With that said, Fang Chang walked in front and led the two of them to explore the direction of the corridor.

After passing through Areas A and B, the first thing you pass by is a white room.

Judging from the operating table-like reclining chair in the center of the room, as well as the layout and decoration of the room, it seems that this is a medical room or a similar place.

When the three of them stood at the door, there was already a female player with short hair and a high ponytail inside.

Looking around, Sisi said in surprise.

"It's actually an infirmary, and it feels like a medical laboratory... By the way, can't the door inside be opened?"

Tails: "Huh? How does Sis know so much? Is it because he goes there often?"

Sisi squinted his tail and said, "That's true, but I'm here to treat people."

Although it is a pathology department with a relatively low presence and is exposed to more formalin than living people every day, it can still be regarded as treating people, right?

Tails: "Doctor! I'm sick, give me health!"

Si Si stretched out his hands listlessly and made a grabbing gesture.

"I'm looking at the brain. I have to cut it open before I can see it."

Tails: "!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ"

Sisi: "Hey, how did you pronounce emojis in the game?"

Looking at the two people behind the glass wall, the three gentlemen were silent for a while and unanimously decided not to disturb them.

Fang Chang: "Let's visit somewhere else."

Ye Shi: "I agree."

Kuangfeng didn't speak, but nodded.

The three of them continued forward, and then passed by a plantation area full of science fiction.

There is not a grain of soil in the entire planting area, only planting units that are shaped like fish tanks--according to the setting on the official website, this seems to be the name.

Bangfeng glanced at the VM and was surprised to find that the name of each facility and a brief introduction to the facility's functions had been updated on the mini-map.

It seems that this Alpha0.9 version has updated far more than just the career system, and has also secretly changed some in-game settings.

good.

Finally, I don’t have to rely on my brain anymore!

"Judging from the map on VM, this seems to be a planting area... The theoretical planting area is 50 acres."

"Is there 50 acres here?"

"There are 50 three-dimensional planting units that are like shelves. I guess it means that each three-dimensional planting unit is equivalent to one acre of land."

There are already ruins of greenhouses, is it still necessary for such facilities to exist?

Or is there a seed bank here that stores seeds from pre-war crops?

Fang Chang thought in his mind.

Not far away, Makabazi was holding a three-dimensional planting unit, excited and incoherent, not knowing what he was talking about.

The man standing next to him seemed to be a fisherman who "stop talking nonsense."

"Get out! Don't even think about touching my land!"

"What the hell, this is obviously a fish tank!"

"Your fish tank looks like this!?"

"%￥#x-on:!"

The three of them exchanged glances, tacitly decided not to disturb them, and continued to move forward.

Further ahead, there is a small room with a radiation sign printed on the door.

"This seems to be the power room?" Fang Chang said thoughtfully, comparing the text on the VM, "According to the information in the official website setting, it should be a place where the fusion reactor is placed?"

Ye Shi glanced around and muttered: "There seems to be nothing to see here, and the open area is very small... I thought I could see the inside of the reactor."

Fang Chang: "After all, it's not easy to compile such transcendental technology in science fiction games. I usually give you a bunch of models and make up your own brain."

The reactor is not in this long and narrow room of less than 20 square meters. There is a thick wall and a closed alloy door in front of them.

There is a small window on the alloy door, and you can see the metal bracket behind the wall and half of the outline of what appears to be a controllable fusion reactor.

Kuangfeng walked in, took a closer look curiously, stretched out his hand and pushed the door gently.

However, the door seemed to be fixed to the space, motionless.

Maybe this part is originally a texture?

Or maybe the operator hasn't figured out how to compile it yet, or has no intention of wasting time on irrelevant details.

Seeing that there was no response no matter how hard he tried, Guangfeng took his hand back and said with regret.

"Pity."

Although he doesn't think operators can have any eye-catching ideas, when it comes to professional-related fields, it is inevitable to make people curious.

If only I could see what it looks like.

…

While players were exploring the new content of version 0.9, Chu Guang, the manager of the entire shelter, was standing in the last area of ​​the "functional area" on the B3 floor - a warehouse that was not open to players for the time being.

There are two "black boxes", one large and one small, in the warehouse.

[Item: Black Box]

[No.: NO.11]

[Function: Produce vital signs monitor]

[Instructions for use: Place in the atmospheric environment, turn on the power, input 3L water, 300g aluminum, 200g iron, 100g copper, 50g nickel...]

[Available: vital signs monitor, organic/inorganic waste. 】

——

[Item: Black Box]

[No.: NO.X]

[Function: Special sleeping cabin for clones]

[Instructions for use: Place it in an atmospheric environment, turn on the power, input 100L water, 50KG aluminum, 30KG iron, 5KG copper, 100g nickel, 8g gold...]

[Available: Special dormancy chamber for clones, organic/inorganic waste. 】

The small black box was the size of an ordinary suitcase, similar to the one he found in Vault 117.

The other big one is more like a car than a box.

At the same time, a light blue window appeared in front of Chu Guang—it was the data card projected by the manager system into his field of vision.

Walking to the box numbered NO.

However……

There is no explanation above as to what this thing is used for.

After reading the instruction manual in his hand twice, a strange expression appeared on Chu Guang's face.

At this time, Xia Yan, who came from the side, muttered and said for him what he wanted to say but didn't say.

"Hibernating cabin dedicated to clones?"

"Hey, what is this thing for?"
