Chapter 387 The fire is still burning and the front line is still going strong!
"How do I change it?"
"It's still a four-player team, but there's only one fixed class or gameplay."
Lu Ming said, stretching out a finger and tapping lightly on the table.
“For example, there is only one person in the team who is a designated role, who has unique abilities and is responsible for key tasks.”
"Where are the other three?"
Lao Zhou followed immediately.
"It's the warrior!"
"These people are just teammates. No one has a fixed role. But every game, everyone's experience is different."
Lao Zhou blinked his eyes:
"So does this become three protecting one?"
Lu Ming immediately slammed the table.
"You could say that! In a four-person team, one person is the absolute core, and the other three cooperate. But they themselves are random, with different mindsets, skills, and playing styles."
The corners of Lu Ming's mouth rose slightly.
A team of four, with one core member.
This person is the core of the team, but not the protagonist.
However, how to set this core becomes very important!
Lao Zhou frowned and listened carefully:
"Freedom fighters... so they don't have fixed duties?"
"right!"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up and he leaned forward slightly.
"The experience is randomized each round. If you want to be a sniper, you can be a sniper. If you want to be a melee, you can be a melee. No one is forced to play a role. This is not fixed!"
"There's no mandatory profession or mandatory weapon!"
"After all, when it comes to playing games, you can experience it however you want!"
"What about special professions? How do you plan to design them?"
Lu Ming smiled. As expected, inspiration comes more with more communication.
"My idea is that this core player is the only one in the team who can make weapons!"
"I'll temporarily call this profession: Gunsmith!"
Old Zhou was stunned for two seconds and repeated: "Gunsmith?"
He scratched his head and hesitated, "Is it just the gun makers? How did the gun makers become the core? Isn't this just forcing people to do hard labor from the beginning?"
"Is this person completely inexperienced in gaming?"
Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh.
"You're overthinking it, Lao Zhou. This profession isn't just about making guns; it's the 'tactical soul' of the team."
"My idea is to explore the map, collect resources, create weapons, and then go back to play higher-difficulty dungeons. All of this is done through the role of the gunsmith, which ties the entire team together."
“For example, if you enter a map together, and the other three people give the materials they have collected to the gunsmith, he can create a new weapon.
As maps continue to improve and materials are constantly updated, players' weapons will also continue to change!"
"Weapons are constantly evolving, and the interdependence between people is also forced out in this process of cooperation."
"Although the gunsmith is primarily responsible for weapon crafting, in addition to having his own dedicated forge, he can also fight on his own while also taking into account battlefield resources!"
"The weapons of the other teammates all depend on the gunner, so we must protect him first."
Old Zhou was stunned for two seconds, and a certain warmth gradually appeared in his eyes:
"Mr. Lu, I understand."
"Then I really understand!"
"Since you're a gunsmith, we can make it bigger!"
"We can set this as a world where cold weapons and firearms coexist!"
"Humans band together to survive, mercenary groups run rampant, and every operation involves a desperate fight for resources."
"Different maps have different resources!"
"For example, some maps are ancient ruins where firearms are prohibited. You can only rely on spears, bows and arrows, and rune weapons."
"Some sub-maps are technological ruins, where cold weapons are useless. You have to use gunpowder, bazookas, and energy cannons at full power."
"There's also a wasteland ecological zone where all sorts of monsters spawn. Some are vulnerable to firearms, while others are vulnerable to cold weapons, forcing players to constantly switch tactics."
"And the gunsmith was able to set up a makeshift forging table in the wild and quickly assemble it using the materials collected by the other three."
"For example, if a teammate kills a monster and drops a bone, the gunsmith can immediately make it into a bone arrow."
"Defeat the boss to obtain the energy core, and the gunsmith can transform it into an energy bazooka on the spot."
"If you are unlucky and don't find any resources, you can only use the most basic sticks, stones, etc."
"At the same time, in different maps, gunsmiths can also combine ancient relics with modern technology."
"This will also enhance the gunsmith's gaming experience!"
“We make each map like a dynamic puzzle, and you can never copy the playstyle of the previous game.”
"The main tasks of the rest of the team are to clear monsters, control the situation, protect the gunsmith, and submit various materials!"
"This way, our game won't just be about dungeon grinding, but a new type of cooperative game that relies on resources, manufacturing, and tactical division of labor to advance!"
“The existence of the gunsmith sets it apart from traditional cooperative shooters on the market!”
Lu Ming took a sip of the cold tea.
"Old Zhou, your idea... is good."
"As expected of you."
Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed:
"Mr. Lu, I'm just following your framework."
"Don't be modest."
"This was all your idea!"
Lu Ming waved his hand. "Cold weapons, firearms, resource collection, gunsmiths... Once this whole set of logic is connected, our game core will be complete."
He leaned back in his chair, tapping the tabletop with his fingers, and the images in his mind gradually became vivid.
"Next is the gameplay mode."
Lu Ming exhaled slowly and spoke slower.
"We can't just make a framework. The framework is the foundation, but players need a bigger stage."
"For example, evacuation mode, defense mode, squad confrontation, etc., you can try them all!"
"This way, the tension of the entire gameplay is maximized."
Lao Zhou nodded, very approving.
"Mr. Lu, can the gunsmith in our game be replaced? For example, if the gunsmith dies, can I take his place?"
Lu Ming spoke immediately.
"no!"
"Our game isn't about who's stronger being the main force!"
"If anyone can take over, then where is the original spirit of cooperation in the game?"
Old Zhou suddenly realized that he had almost gone astray, but fortunately Mr. Lu was there to check.
"Mr. Lu, according to what we have said, the format of our game is..."
"A four-player team, one core player, multiple gameplay modes + PVPVE mode, mixed hot and cold weaponry, resource-driven tactical division of labor..."
"The relics of cold weapons coexist with modern firearms technology. Gunsmiths assemble weapons in real time during battle, promoting the survival of the squad and the evolution of civilization."
"Mr. Lu, this game is quite large!"
Lu Ming nodded slightly, but his expression was much more relaxed than before.
"It's okay, you can take your time."
He paused.
"Let Liang Cong help with the training class work you did before. Shift your focus here, but there's no rush. I can totally handle a six or seven month cycle."
"Now, we are not as anxious as before!"
"Just polish it slowly!"
"Okay! Mr. Lu!"
Lao Zhou also gained confidence.
"Then, Mr. Lu, what should our game be called this time?"
Lu Ming stared at the blank space in front of him.
After thinking about it seriously,
At the junction of ruins and wasteland,
The long sticks and bows and crossbows are still killing,
The muskets and machine guns were already roaring.
Civilization fault line, life and death front.
A four-person team explores ruins, hunts monsters, and guards the workshop.
Some are charging, some are gathering, some are guarding,
Cold blades and firearms coexist, and the forge is the heart of the front line.
In the wilderness, weapons are the only language.
Lu Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and his voice was low but firm:
"Then let's call this game 'Forge Frontier'!"
"The fire is still burning, and the battle is still going on!"
