Chapter 765: We Must Not Let Tengda’s True Feelings for Old Gars Go To Waste!
Qiao Liang was an old gar of Ga Designer. He had been playing this ga ever since it was released.
In order to produce a new episode of Products of the Gods, Qiao Liang had gone through almost all the endings. He was very familiar with the various forks in the road. as though it was his own backyard.
However, after entering the ga this ti, he realized that Ga Designer seed to have changed significantly.
The most obvious point was that the original standalone ga had beco a standalone ga with internet connection.
The previous downloadable content of the ga had only been updated with new voice-overs and new settings. The gaplay had not improved much even though there were many new updates.
Strictly speaking, this ga would only be fun the first ti they played it. It could only beco a collectible after playing for a while and knowing all the endings.
However, after this update, so online gaplay had been added to this ga.
While web-based gaplay was not the main form of entertainnt, it was still enough to surprise people.
There was a new ssage board function in the ga, which was a closed mode. It could be activated after clearing the first level of the ga. After opening this function and entering the ga, one would be able to see the words left behind by other players in various rooms, corridors, and doors.
Qiao Liang tried writing a ssage as well. He realized that these ssages were not randomly typed in. Instead, they were made up of so existing vocabulary. They could only express relatively simple and vague anings.
This might be because they were worried that too accurate aning would cause serious spoilers and reduce players’ enjoynt of the ga.
Using this type of ssage that was pieced together could easily create a ‘reverse guidance’ effect for players because the results would be different if they made the sa choice under different circumstances.
That way, the new players would not only have to compete with the voice-overs, but they would also have to compete with malicious comnts. There would be more obstacles on the way to success.
The second gaplay that was added was the contrarians mode. It could also be activated after completing the ga play for a week.
In the original default mode, players would remain silent throughout the entire process while the voice-overs would speak to themselves throughout the entire process. Before players made their choice, the voice-overs would co up with bad ideas; after players made their choice, the voice-overs would make sarcastic remarks; and when the final outco was out, the voice-overs would either mock the players or be stubborn.
All in all, it was mainly to attack players’ ntality.
However, after activating the contrarians mode, the status of both parties imdiately reversed!
Under the ‘contrarians mode’, players would no longer be helpless. Instead, there would be a ‘little bickering assistant to fight back against the voice-overs’.
Before making a choice, the voice-overs would co up with a bad idea, and the little assistant would point out the drawbacks of players choosing that way and the benefits of choosing another option.
After making a choice, the voice-over would make sarcastic remarks, and the assistant would rebuke it, leaving the voice-over speechless.
At the end of the ga, the assistant would comfort or congratulate the player. At the sa ti, the assistant would start to mock and despise the voice-over.
The voice-over was speechless and angry, but it could not do anything to the little assistant.
On top of that, if players followed the voice-overs’ instructions in the contrarians mode, the assistant would mock the voice-overs in various ways, just like how the voice-overs mocked players in the past.
At first, Qiao Liang was not very interested. However, after playing for a while, he realized that it was quite interesting!
“Actually, the so-called bickering assistant is nothing more than another pre-arranged voice-over that can be triggered. These are all pre-arranged program settings.”
“However, why does it feel so good to hear this little assistant bickering with the voice-overs?”
At first, Qiao Liang had thought that the voice-overs were not real so what was the point of insulting it?
However, on further thought, the voice-overs were not real but players would get angry when the voice-over dissed them!
Players had been fuming with anger because of the voice-overs on their first play. It was quite satisfying now that they had an assistant who was criticizing the voice-overs back, rendering them speechless.
What’s more, this little bickering assistant had also indirectly pointed out the pros and cons of various choices for players. It might not directly point out what the right choice was but it also gave players more reference information when making choices. It was quite amiable.
The only regret was that the voice of the little assistant was emotionless. While it did not sound as annoying as the voice-overs, it was not much better.
When they cleared the ga, the little assistant would tell the player its na: AEEIS. There was no other information.
There was also a new way of playing that was to show the care and concern to the new players.
Qiao Liang tried it out and realized that it was a heaven for the sarcastic people and people who loved to bait others.
Theoretically, the right way to play the ga should be for the old players to guide new players who did not understand the ga to make the right choice. That way, both the new and old players would be happy.
However, when he started playing, he realized that that was not the case at all!
After going through the voice-overs, the old gars had beco weirdos with their own unique styles.
So old players would purposely lead the new players down the wrong path.
So old gars would not reveal any answers and would only start to mock the players after they had chosen wrongly.
There were also so old gars who led the new players down the right paths at first to gain the trust of the new gars. In the end, they would beat them down the wrong paths at the crucial mont.
The scariest thing was that this model was not one-on-one. A maximum of four old players could enter the ga of the sa new player at a go. They could display their avatars in the four corners of the screen respectively. The content of the words would be displayed in text bubble form.
So of the four old players were speaking the truth, so were lying, so were trying to undermine each other, and so were working together to deceive others. Coupled with the original voice-overs, the new players could experience five tis the joy.
Apart from that, the most exciting part was that there were many fake new players baiting the rest!
Many players had already cleared the ga many tis, but they purposely started a brand new ga to lure the older players in. Then, they pretended to be newbies who knew nothing and fought with them, leading all of them in circles.
“These new modes are quite interesting. Ordinary players should be able to play for two or three days without getting tired of them. The elites should be able to play quite well, right?”
“For all we know, the UP Masters might start producing programs like ‘Baiting in Ga Designer’ soon.”
Qiao Liang played for a while and found it quite interesting.
The old gars found a new source of entertainnt after these two gas were added to the internet mode. They had originally been left to collect dust in the ga library, but after updating their downloadable content, they brought it out again for a new source of entertainnt.
Gas that had been played many tis over were no longer interesting. With these changes, they could fill up the old bottles with new alcohol and refresh them a few more tis!
After playing for a while, Qiao Liang read the gars’ thoughts on the two gas in discussion forums.
“Holy sh*t, Tengda is the conscience of the industry! How long ago was this ga? The main body is free, and it’s still being updated?”
“Compared to the content of the downloadable content, the price is still as cheap as a cabbage. I seriously doubt that they can even break even back from this.”
“It’s too worth it. I’ll just buy it brainlessly!”
“Finally, I managed to be one up on the voice-overs in Ga Designer. I don’t need to be mocked by it anymore. Thank you, AEEIS, the little bickering assistant!”
“There are too many people baiting on the internet mode! They are all veteran gars, why are they pretending to be newbies? I’m speechless!”
“However, the two downloadable content seed to have hidden so Easter eggs this ti. For example, The Lonely Desert Road gave a spacecraft and an extraterrestrial scene. Does that an that Tengda’s next ga is a sci-fi-thed ga?”
“A 3A level FPS ga? That’s aweso!”
“The Easter egg for Ga Designer should be this little assistant, AEEIS, right? Are these two Easter eggs for the next ga? Then what is AEEIS for?”
“Er... the robot teammate of the protagonist in FPS gas?”
“I’m not sure, but I suddenly feel like I’m looking forward to it! After all, there are too few sci-fi gas in the country at the mont. There are Xianxia and Wuxia everywhere. I’m sick of seeing them.”
“That’s because sci-fi gas are a technical job. All sorts of details and settings are very important. They are not as complete as the settings for xianxia and wuxia. I wonder if Tengda can do it well.”
“Tengda’s products are always top-quality. I think there’s no problem!”
Qiao Liang scrolled through the forum and found that the players were basically praising the updates.
It was rare for a company to spend so much ti and effort updating unimportant old gas and focusing on the gaming experience of old players after all.
Most gas companies did not value the interests of old gars at all. They would not do anything that wasn’t profitable. They would even do things to hurt old gars for the sake of profits.
However, Tengda was the exact opposite. They might not be able to make much money from maintaining these old gas and might even incur losses, but they were still updating their downloadable content.
What kind of spirit was that!
The players expressed their gratitude. It was just downloadable content, buy it!
Would they still be humans if they did not buy the sincere downloadable content with new gaplay and new contents?
They could not let Tengda’s sincerity towards old players go to waste!
