Chapter 192 He has to thank us!
"And don't you think..."
Lu Ming leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with his fingertips, his tone quite serious.
"Those negative reviews you showed me before actually all hid a common desire!"
Zhou Yizhou frowned.
"...What desire?"
"I want to win."
Lu Ming smiled and squinted his eyes at Lao Zhou.
"They don't think the game is boring, uninteresting, or cumbersome to operate."
"They feel like they've been crushed before they even have a chance to enjoy themselves."
"It's like playing mahjong. I have seven pairs and I'm ready, but the other person wins!"
"How can this not be frustrating!"
"So, players don't want to leave the table, they still want to play, they want to win!"
"There's a fundamental difference between wanting to have fun but not having it, and not wanting to have fun!"
Zhou Yizhou fell into deep thought.
If we understand it according to Mr. Lu's line of thought, it does make sense...
"Old Zhou, we can't just optimize as soon as players complain!"
“The better you optimize, the more you’ll optimize!”
"What's more, we have so many modes, including two-player, four-player, and deathmatch modes, and many users haven't experienced them all yet!"
"So, in my opinion, our game is already perfect!"
"It's only been online for less than a day, there's no need for us to adjust it at all!"
"On the contrary, I still have one point that I think I can adjust later!"
Lu Ming turned around and looked into Lao Zhou's eyes:
"Didn't you say before that the winner's experience was awesome?"
“So, we have to emphasize the experience of the weak!”
Old Zhou was stunned, a little dazed, this... looks so familiar.
Zhou Yizhou thought about it carefully.
I remembered that Mr. Lu had said in "The Unpredictable World" before,
However, what he said at the time was to emphasize the winner’s experience!
Then the winner's taunting mechanism was launched.
This time, Mr. Lu emphasized the experience of the weak.
Zhou Yizhou looked at Lu Ming, who was talking eloquently and in high spirits, and suddenly only one thought popped up in his mind:
Mr. Lu is truly an amazing person!
Zhou Yizhou suddenly had a trance-like illusion.
The more I learn from Mr. Lu, the more I feel my lack of knowledge!
Mr. Lu’s creativity and ideas have no bottlenecks at all!
At this time, Lu Ming had already stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and stood with his hands behind his back.
"Old Zhou, remember what I said."
"Next, we will make a few fine-tunings."
"First, a new Heavenly Dao locking mechanism has been added!"
"That's what I envisioned."
"Any player who has achieved the true meaning of fusion has integrated the five paths."
"The Heavenly Path will be marked on the map, and players across the map can sense its location."
Old Zhou was stunned.
"You mean... bright location?"
"right."
Lu Ming looked serious.
"Add a sense of urgency to the game! Give others time to prepare!"
"Also, for players who have successfully achieved enlightenment."
“You can choose your own map in the next game.”
"Our current map rotation is random, but since you have successfully achieved enlightenment, we must grant you home field rights."
"The winner can actively choose a map they are familiar with, and will also be born with a random type of Candao."
"But at the same time, he will also receive continuous map annotations, but this will not be exposed all the time. Instead, his position will be updated every three minutes."
“…”
Zhou Yizhou swallowed his saliva.
"Mr. Lu...this sounds a bit cruel."
"Doesn't that weaken the player's experience of victory?"
"Exposing it directly to so many players, isn't that like playing openly Dou Dizhu?"
Lu Ming grinned, that's what he thought in his heart.
"Misguided in the Wilderness" cannot just break the defense of the weak, but also have corresponding countermeasures for the winners!
My debt is now over 100,000!
But I just rely on this game to keep going!
Looking at Zhou Yizhou, Lu Ming quickly started editing.
"Old Zhou, you still don't understand the players at all!"
"For a player like me who has successfully achieved enlightenment, it would be great if I could have a mark to show off in the next game!"
"I'm sure he's like one of those fishermen who's caught a big fish, and he can't wait to show it off!"
"What an honor! He'll have to thank us!"
"What's wrong with showing your cards? It feels even better when you win with them!"
"A real boss must be able to put himself under the spotlight."
"The brighter you are, the dimmer everyone else will appear."
As Lu Ming spoke, he raised his hands to gesture, his tone was light and fast, and he almost got himself excited.
"This is our approach to making games. We not only give everyone a chance to win, but also make the winners feel justified and the losers feel convinced."
“Who doesn’t want to turn the tables? Who doesn’t want to become stronger?”
Lu Ming said, turned to look at Lao Zhou, and suddenly his tone slowed down:
"And you have to think this way when you make plans in the future."
"Look, when we create a feature, we shouldn't just consider whether it's reasonable."
"Make sense? Most games make sense, but that's about it."
"What we are doing is whether there is a cool feeling."
"If you want to make someone happy, you don't just give them benefits."
"You want him to suffer first, and then let him turn the tables."
"It's like playing mahjong. If you let him win a small hand, he'll only be happy for a second. Then, for a small amount of money, you let him lose ten hands in a row. Then, at the end, you let him win a big four of seven, a perfect match, and turn the tables... He'll just laugh like crazy."
"And this particular game, he might be in his eighties, and he could still remember it while lying in the rocking chair by the door!"
Zhou Yizhou was stunned. He really didn't expect that Mr. Lu was also a master at playing cards!
However, after listening to what Mr. Lu said, Zhou Yizhou's mind buzzed.
He understood.
He really understood.
Many times, he only looks at data, feedback, public opinion, and phenomena.
As for Mr. Lu, he looks at the underlying emotions, the emotional outburst point that players care about.
"Mr. Lu..." Old Zhou's Adam's apple moved.
"I...I'll try to think this way in future projects."
"That's how you have to think now."
Lu Ming nodded and ended the topic decisively, as sure as making a chess move.
Then, he looked at his previous records on the computer.
"Look, how many maps do we have now?"
"Seven." Old Zhou replied subconsciously.
"Yes, seven maps, seven types of terrain settings, and nearly a thousand types of broken road settings."
"We have so many ways to play, so many combinations..."
"Do you have to consider numerical balance for every map?"
"The availability of different residual paths in different terrains, triggering conditions, fusion weights, birth rate, player route pressure, terrain visibility, and escape paths..."
"Our game has so many ways to play, how can we just think about lowering the difficulty right from the start?"
When Lu Ming said this, he pushed a glass of unopened coconut water on the table to Lao Zhou.
"Here, drink something to replenish your electrolytes first."
Lao Zhou took it and started drinking.
"So you see, Lao Zhou..."
"We can't always rely on the chief planner, chief artist, and chief designer to each handle their own responsibilities and then integrate them before release. This is too fragmented."
"From now on, every map should be treated as a microsystem."
"Each map has many ways to play. Furthermore, to prevent players from following a fixed strategy, we try to make the types and spawn locations of the broken paths as random as possible!"
"Uncertainty is the most important point of our game!"
"It's like playing chess. You can't expect them to start with the cannon two-level five in every game. You have to force them to start with less popular moves like the pawn seven-advance one or the knight two-advance three."
