Vol 2 Chapter 626: Strongest player

Chapter 626 The Strongest Player

The strongest on the ground, from Lin Feng’s idea of ​​this game, to now the inside is completed, preparations for the public beta, it took 8 months, which not only made Lin Feng wait too long, but also made all players wait too long.

"Boss, the strongest on the ground has already completed the internal test. I suggest that the public test be officially started on December 24." In China, for more than half a year, the Japanese Nishiyama Takashi has gradually become accustomed to life in China and has begun to understand this nation.

But there is one thing that makes Nishiyama Takashi very strange. In China, except for the Spring Festival, other festivals are very important to the Chinese people. It seems that the Chinese themselves do not pay much attention to them, and businesses do not have any corresponding development plans for this. On the contrary, those foreign festival merchants are extremely enthusiastic, and so are most Chinese.

Such as Christmas. In the West, Christmas is a day of reunion, which is equivalent to the Chinese New Year. But in China, Christmas is the day when all Chinese go out for fun, and it is also the day when businesses have the most frequent activities. Nishiyama Takashi heard from other people in the company that that day was as lively as any festival in China, and businesses seemed to be more enthusiastic about it than the Spring Festival.

This is too strange in the view of Takashi Nishiyama. However, Takashi Nishiyama knows one thing, that is, there are many poor people in China. Regardless of the beauty on the road outside, the sports cars driving by are no less than any developed country, but most ordinary people, especially those around 20 years old. The young people are very poor, and their choices for consumer entertainment activities are very limited.

Online games are definitely the first choice for these young Chinese, and they are also where they consume excess energy. Takashi Nishiyama has been unable to understand the "Internet Addiction War" that broke out some time ago. The emergence of online games has greatly satisfied the needs of these energetic young people. If there were no online games, I am afraid that China would be like early Japan, where the underworld (or small gangs) would be rampant, and there would be constant fights and fights. This is a little bit better for public security. There is no benefit. Although online games are indeed prone to addiction, overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Therefore, after various considerations, Nishiyama Takashi believes that it would be appropriate to launch the strongest on the ground on Christmas Day. The rich go out to celebrate the holidays, and the poor can spend boring time and spend the lonely and unbearable years in the game.

Lin Feng nodded in response to Takashi Nishiyama's proposal. It's almost Christmas, and the strongest on the ground is a Christmas gift for all lonely men.

"Boss, this is the game demo video." Takashi Nishiyama took out a CD and put it in the DVD drive.

After a while, the screen flashed out.

The strongest on the ground is the 2d scroll-style horizontal version of the fighting and clearing online game. The style of the entire picture is adhering to the style of the king of fighters (also known as the king of fighting), adding Chinese ink painting elements, making the whole picture more layered and tensioned. The characters are more realistic, and the entire painting style is extremely beautiful.

Ten points—Lin Feng scored ten points for the strongest picture on the ground. But is the gameplay as expected?

Lin Feng looked at Takashi Nishiyama, wanting to get an answer.

"Boss, the strongest on the ground. Then we listened to your suggestion and let the players create characters freely." Takashi Nishiyama looked at Lin Feng with admiration.

The original strongest in the original King of Fighters series is the player chooses one of the 108 characters in the original King of Fighters series as his own game character, and then re-masters the moves of the original game character in the King of Fighters by playing in the strongest on the ground, and decides with other players "The strongest on earth."

Lin Feng originally agreed with Takashi Nishiyama's idea. But after careful consideration, Lin Feng came up with a new idea. Lin Feng believes that the biggest feature of online games is freedom. Unlike stand-alone games, players can only play the game according to the rules of the game setter, understand the plot, help the plot characters complete various tasks, and finally wait for the finale. This kind of game is more like watching a movie, except that the characters in the movie are controlled by themselves.

But for online games, it is definitely not a good thing to restrict the player's actions too much. Since players can choose one of 108 game characters to play the game, it can be said that the openness of the game is very large. But in that case, why not let the players be more free. Allow players to create a brand new character, create a brand new game character according to their own preferences, and free to learn any skills.

After following Lin Feng's suggestion, Takashi Nishiyama revised it. In the strongest on the ground, players can set the appearance and attributes of the characters in the ideal situation in their minds.

Characters are divided into hair, appearance and height. Especially in order to maximize profits for the company, Lin Feng also proposed that players can pass video authentication and upload their avatars to the "Second World". Then "Second World" specially made real game characters' avatars for them according to their avatars. This is like the player himself playing in the game, providing players with more sense of substitution.

Of course, the production of such real person avatars, in particular, cannot conflict with the style of the game as a whole. The "Second World" charges a production fee of RMB 50 for each player who wants to modify the avatar. 50 yuan looks more expensive, but it is definitely not expensive compared to the player's investment and sense of substitution in the game.

In addition to the appearance of the game character, the character created by the player has four major attribute points.

The four attributes of the characters are divided into four attribute points: strength, agility, spirit, and physical strength. Strength determines the player’s attack power and the determination of certain skills; agility determines the player’s flexibility and speed; spirit determines the success rate of certain “kills”; physical strength determines the number of times the player’s skills are used.

When each player enters the game, each player has 10 attribute points, which can be allocated freely. Later in the game, for each level up, the player has 1 game attribute point that can be allocated.

In the strongest game on the ground, players can upgrade and acquire skills by completing various tasks. And this skill is the skill possessed by more than a hundred characters of the original King of Fighters. In other words, players can freely choose the skills that can be practiced. There are hundreds of characters and thousands of skills in the King of Fighters, and players can learn, and it is completely free to learn.

For example, players can learn the "Hundred Types-Ghost Burning" of "Caozhijing", and the "Thunder Fighting" of "Nikaido Red Maru", even if it is the trick of "Caozhijing"'s old enemy "Iorikan". Thousand Two Hundred and Eleven Styles-Eight Childish Girls". In short, in the strongest on the ground, players can freely learn any skills, as long as the player has enough "skill points" to complete various tasks of learning skills, they can learn various skills.

Therefore, in theory, the player can have 1017 skills of 108 characters in the King of Fighters series. Of course, this is just theoretical. The factors that restrict players from learning all skills, except for the difficult tasks of various skills (the greater the power, the more difficult the task to complete, and according to different NPCs, there will be different tasks. Some need to cooperate with other players, and some can only be single People pass), and then there is the existence of "skill points".

Although the strongest on the ground does not limit the upper limit of "skill points", players can obtain sufficient "skill points" by completing various tasks, and they also need a certain amount of game currency when learning. After calculation by Takashi Nishiyama, a player who wants to learn 1017 skills with 108 NPCs among the strongest on the earth would take 8760 hours and cost 300 million game coins.

This is equivalent to a player who does not eat, drink, or go offline, playing in the best mental state, and playing for a full year before he can learn all these 1017 skills. And there is no other distractions, such as pk, chat, etc.

Obviously, this is impossible. A conservative estimate is that a normal player plays 3 hours a day, and he wants to learn all the skills in 2920 days, which is 8 years. Counting pk time, chat time, and daze time, etc., it takes at least 10 years for a player to learn all 1017 skills.

In 10 years, it is hard to imagine that an online game will be played by players for ten years. Therefore, in fact, if the strongest on the ground stops operating, I am afraid that the player will not learn all the skills. Of course, if a player really learns 1017 kinds of skills, it is definitely the strongest luck on the ground. An online game that has existed for ten years is enough to become a classic.

Of course, although the strongest on the ground provides 1017 kinds of skills, not all skills are suitable for every player. Since players have different settings for the four attributes at the beginning of the game, in terms of strength, agility, spirit, and physical strength, different skills naturally have different effects on different players, and different attack judgments and Defensive decision. For example, players with 20 points of strength, 2 points of agility, 3 points of spirit, and 15 points of stamina, using the power moves of "Damen Goro" or "Clark" is definitely a very good choice, but if you use "Cai Baojian" (like a Monkey, extremely flexible) moves, that is undoubtedly nonsense. I am afraid that even if you learn the skills in the end, the effect of using them is extremely limited, or even no effect.

Therefore, the setting of attribute points is different, which also brings more choices to players. Different heights, different attribute points, and how to choose the best combination of skills and exert the best attack power are also difficult problems faced by all players. Of course, invisible, it also allows more players to indulge in.

In the eight months of game design and development, six of them are to balance different attack or defensive moves brought by different attribute points, so as to avoid various bugs in the game. The most important thing in fighting games is balance, and the most feared thing is bugs. In these eight months, Takashi Nishiyama and his game development team almost didn't get crazy by this cumbersome and complicated balance system.

Of course, operating games is to make money. If some rich RMB fighters want to use money to find pleasure in the game, Takashi Nishiyama also provides them with a shortcut. Among the strongest on the ground, the player's level is restricted. Currently, only 30-level capping is provided. In other words, from the beginning to level 30, the player can only obtain up to 40 disposable skill points.

Balance is naturally 10 points of strength, 10 points of agility, 10 points of spirit, and 10 points of physical strength. Such a configuration naturally cannot satisfy RMB fighters. The reason why they are called RMB fighters is because they don't have a lot of time to play games and hone their skills, so they use RMB to transform themselves.

Although the game has restrictions on attribute points, Takashi Nishiyama provides a large number of equipment and props in the game. Different equipment and props can provide players with different attribute point bonuses. RMB fighters can fully arm themselves by acquiring these props, strengthen themselves, and satisfy their superior*.

Of course, although there are these equipment provided, some are enough for you, but this will not really change the strength of the players in the game. Indeed, RMB fighters are powerful, but among the strongest on the ground, manipulation and matching different skills according to character attributes are the real kingly way.

There is no strongest game character and equipment, only the strongest player. -This sentence will be the strongest on the ground and get the greatest verification.

In order to maintain this statement, the strongest on the ground can only adopt a point card fee system. In Lin Feng's view, at present, only the point card charging system can guarantee the fairness and rationality of the game to the greatest extent.

"Takashi Nishiyama, regarding the strongest server architecture on the ground, I think that it is the same to build both high-end servers and ordinary servers with a global unified server architecture. The top players of each server will enter high-end servers and hundreds of thousands of people can play games at the same time." Lin The wind said.

The strongest on the ground. Due to the 2d scrolling horizontal format, the requirements on the player's computer on the screen are extremely low. According to the supercomputer simulation calculation, a supercomputer will be able to load about 380,000 players online at the same time. Ordinary game servers can also host games for 10,000 players.

"En." Takashi Nishiyama nodded. This is how he set it up a long time ago. Since the beginning of the World War, almost all game development teams in the "Second World" have developed games in accordance with the global unified server architecture. Fortunately, today Lin Feng has solved the problem of a unified global server architecture. Otherwise, as the "Second World" develops more and more games, I am afraid this contradiction will accumulate deeper, and once it breaks out, the world will fall apart.

With all the anticipation, and the enthusiastic anticipation of all the King of Fighters players, Christmas has finally arrived. When the rich go out, more ordinary people are sitting in front of the computer, waiting for the strongest server on the ground to open.

Freely create characters, freely assign attribute points, freely learn skills..., thinking that the characters you set will learn various skills, all players are already excited.

What kind of skills can achieve the strongest players on the ground? Will be verified in the game!
