Chapter 1402 Weapon System
Wu Zhaopu and Nishiyama Takashi were both stunned. (Reading novels) The current online game charging model is basically formulated by "Second World". Point card charging, completely free (advertising in the game, paid by the advertising company), "coin charging", and of course the "prop charging" model launched by "Giant" in the "Zhengtu" game. This almost covers all possible online charging models. What new charging models can Lin Feng provide?
Lin Feng smiled.
"I propose to adopt the "blood replenishment charging model" in "Contra NE." Lin Feng snapped his fingers.
Blood replenishment charging model? ——Wu Zhaopu was stunned. This is a brand new charging model, and it is unheard of and unseen.
"Haha, it's very simple. In "Contra NE", all player characters have a blood volume. Once this blood volume is empty, the player must charge to replenish blood. If you don't charge to replenish blood, you can only play the game tomorrow, and you will lose the game qualification today." Lin Feng spread his hands and said.
Provide blood volume attributes to the characters in "Contra NE". If the blood volume is empty, you can't play the game and can only continue tomorrow! —— Wu Zhaopu and Nishiyama Takashi muttered silently.
"Mr. Wu, Minister Nishiyama, this charging model has several advantages. First of all, it is free. Players can create gods without spending money. Even if they don't spend a penny, they can continue playing the game. Even if they have no blood today, as long as they wait until today, they can continue playing tomorrow; secondly, this charging model can stimulate the challenge of players. As long as you have high skills, you can play the game infinitely. Then we will make a recharge ranking list, and publish the players who recharged the least in the past week on the list, and list their game time at the same time. I think this is a great stimulation for all players!" Lin Feng talked freely.
In Lin Feng's view, the biggest attraction of "Contra NE" is the challenge of players. Players not only challenge each other, but also challenge themselves. First of all, in daily games, it is a challenge. As long as you have high skills and are not attacked, you will not lose blood. If you don't lose blood, you don't need to recharge. Then challenge the players, that is, in the PK, if you have high skills, you can shoot and kill opponents with higher levels and better equipment than you, and this sense of achievement is unparalleled. Finally, challenge yourself. As long as you have strong skills, you may even be able to become a god without spending a penny when you are in the game. This feeling, just thinking about it makes people feel proud.
Especially when the official publishes your name on the leaderboard, the feeling of being worshipped by thousands of players is even stronger.
"But boss, what is the difference between this and charging for props?" Wu Zhaopu asked puzzledly.
Although "Zhengtu" does not charge for health, it charges for weapons and equipment. In Wu Zhaopu's opinion, the two feelings are almost the same. Nishiyama Takashi also nodded on the side, holding the same view as Wu Zhaopu.
"Mr. Wu,
This is wrong. First of all, the prop charging model of "Zhengtu" will definitely change the balance of the game, while the health charging model of "Contra NE" will not change the balance of the game. First, all players have an equal opportunity to obtain any equipment in the game; second, in "Contra NE", there will be absolutely no such thing as "invincibility". Low-level players can definitely defeat even top players as long as your skills are high enough; third, health only maintains the player's survival time in the game, but cannot change anything, and has no effect on the player's equipment attributes; finally, if a rich player smashes it, he can also use money to grind the master to death." Lin Feng explained.
Wu Zhaopu nodded. If this is the case, this charging model is completely different from "Zhengtu".
"However, boss, this also has a problem. If the players' skills are high, how can the company make money? As the players' game time increases, their skills will become higher and higher. How can they make money in that way?" Wu Zhaopu was confused.
You think, at the beginning, the player's skills may be very poor, so he may often be beaten to zero, but in the future, as the player's skills improve, I am afraid that the player will not die easily. Even if he dies accidentally, I am afraid that the game time on that day is long enough, so he can go offline and wait to continue the game tomorrow. At that time, how can the company make money? Without profit, how to maintain operations? Can it rely on constantly increasing the difficulty to maintain operations? That will be resisted by players, not to mention that the reputation that has been hard to build will collapse in an instant.
"Haha, Mr. Wu, if this charging model is simply maintained by the difficulty of the level and increases the player's recharge, it is undoubtedly a poison to quench thirst. Therefore, I have never considered this. In my opinion, the difficulty of the computer level of "Contra ne" will remain relatively unchanged. The real model to maintain the company's profitability is player pk." Lin Feng said.
Player pk? ——How does "Contra ne" pk? ——Wu Zhaopu and Nishiyama Takashi looked at each other, puzzled.
"Haha, this is very simple. Contra NE sets the game background in the future, which is December 2633 AD. In the game background, there are two organizations, one is the Federal Army Headquarters, which is the justice side, and the other is the terrorist organization nicknamed "Red Eagle", which is the so-called evil side. In Contra NE, we can create gods to provide players with two options, one is to join the Federal Army Headquarters, and the other is to join the "Red Eagle" terrorist organization. The two major organizations are inherently opposed in the game. It is legal to shoot each other, and the rules of the game allow it. In this way, once a large-scale PK begins, it will be difficult for players not to recharge!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Think about it, the two sides are fighting fiercely, and there are many casualties in the middle. Once you are "killed" by your opponent, don't you want to retaliate? Naturally, you want to retaliate. If you want to retaliate, you must recharge. In this way, the company's profits are still worrying. Perhaps after a big battle, its profit is more than the money earned in a month by the point card charging model.
"How about it, what do you think?" Lin Feng looked at the two.
"Boss, your proposal is very good. Then we will adopt this charging model. It is estimated that the internal test can be completed within 15 days." After weighing it in his mind, Nishiyama Takashi gave a time.
Lin Feng nodded and signaled Nishiyama Takashi to leave first.
"Mr. Wu, what do you think of Minister Nishiyama's proposal to make the resources of each game department public?" Lin Feng asked after Nishiyama Takashi left.
Wu Zhaopu thought about it.
"Boss, in the long run, it is indeed beneficial for the company to unify the standards of assembly language, database calls and other specifications for designing games in the company's eleven major game departments. In this way, each other can directly call each other's available character models, scene maps, and even upgrade modes. This can greatly shorten the development cycle of a game, and it can save production costs. But security issues have become a huge hidden danger." Wu Zhaopu frowned and said.
"Boss, if all game departments can call up data from other studios, then the core secrets of our company's game department will be completely hidden. With so many employees in the company, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be individual bad apples or commercial spies in it. Once leaked, it will be a fatal blow to the company. How to choose between the two is really a headache." Wu Zhaopu said.
Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, unifying the company's game compilation standards and unifying the game data call standards is a double-edged sword. If used well, it will be of great benefit to the company. If used poorly, the harm to the company will be fatal.
"Let's hold a meeting to discuss this matter next time. Now we should focus on the research and development of "Contra NE" and strive to launch it as soon as possible. Of course, we can also start to create gods in terms of publicity." Lin Feng ordered.
Wu Zhaopu nodded.
Immediately, the official website of "Second World" released the promotional advertisement of "Contra NE".
When all players logged into "Second World" and saw the promotional advertisement of "Contra NE" pop up for the first time, they were a little stunned. Especially when seeing the "red pants" and "blue pants" jumping and running on the screen in the promotional advertisement, those players who have played "Contra" were all in tears.
What a long memory this is. Countless people have been crazy about this game, laughing for passing the level, and depressed for the end of the game. This is a game that brings many good memories to everyone.
"Contra ne", now "Second World" is actually going to adapt it into an online game. Many players who have played "Contra" applauded for this news. Before "Second World" launched "Tank War ne", some players imagined whether "Contra" could also be adapted into "Contra ne". After all, in terms of popularity, "Contra" was undoubtedly far better than "Tank War" back then.
However, if you want to adapt it into an online game, "Contra" undoubtedly has too many restrictions, and it is far less easy to adapt it into an online game than "Tank War". After all, "Tank War" is much better than "Contra" in online battles, and how to change "Contra"? Let countless players conquer one level after another? This doesn't seem fun.
Some players looked at the promotional video and questioned.
In this "Contra ne" promotional advertisement, except for the announcement that "Second World" will develop "Contra ne", the rest of the video screens are those classic screens in "Contra", and there are no "Contra ne" screens, which makes players have to wonder what kind of game "Contra ne" will be. If the adaptation is too bad, it will ruin the image and good memories of "Contra" in the hearts of players.
However, soon, just one day later, the official website of "Contra ne" was established, and its relevant game information was released.
Those former "Contra" fans immediately logged into the "Contra ne" official website and clicked on "Game Introduction".
——"Contra ne" is a large-scale online game adapted from "Contra", which is a 2D horizontal scrolling shooting game.
Seeing this sentence, all players felt a little relieved. The charm of "Contra" lies in its 2D horizontal level-passing, and "Contra NE" has adapted it into a 2D horizontal scrolling game as well, so that it can keep its original flavor as much as possible. This is undoubtedly good news for many "Contra" fans.
How to play the game? Players continue to read.
——"Contra ne" will adopt two major camps, the Earth Federation Army and the "Red Eagle" terrorist organization. Players can choose to join either of them. The weapons and equipment of both sides are completely different.
Some information about the weapons of both sides was also published on the official website of "Contra ne". In the "Earth Federation Army", there are weapons that are familiar to everyone in the stand-alone version, such as the most primitive-single-soldier rifle, and the slightly more powerful "light machine gun", "multi-directional weapon" (also known as "shotgun") and other weapons. Looking at these familiar weapons, all players are jealous. An inexplicable emotion surged in their hearts.
But looking at the weapons of the "Earth Federation Army", all players are more concerned about the weapons and equipment of the "Red Eagle" terrorist organization. You know, when playing the game, players can only choose the Earth Federation Army, but when passing the level, the weapons of the "Red Eagle" organization are quite popular.
Then, the weapons of the "Red Eagle" terrorist organization were opened, and everyone's eyes were hot.
Individual rifles - the same as the individual rifles of the "Earth Federation Army", there is no difference.
Machine guns - similar to the light machine guns of the "Earth Federation Army", these two guns are almost the same, there is no difference.
The real surprise is in the third type.
Hand-thrown bombs - bombs that can be thrown by individual soldiers, with great power, will cause different degrees of damage to the enemy according to the different damage parts. It can even kill the opponent in seconds.
When seeing this weapon, all players think of the "enemy soldier" in "Contra" who carries a small bag and throws bombs. You know, in the game, this kind of bomb has an explosion range, but in "Contra", the characters have no blood volume, and they will die if they are touched. This is undoubtedly very scary for those players who "eat" the two props of "shotgun" and "bullet acceleration". Once they die, they will return to the era of "Xiaomi plus rifles", and the gap is quite large.
Looking down, all players shouted, this weapon is awesome!
