Losing Money to Be a Chapter 813 - Ocean Stronghold’s DLC Update

Chapter 813: Ocean Stronghold’s DLC Update

January 12th, Thursday...

At Shang Yang Gas...

Wang Xiaobin ca to Lin Wan’s office and knocked lightly.

“Boss Lin, the downloadable content of the remaining two gas will be officially released if there are no problems with. Is there a need to inform Ye Zhizhou?”

Lin Wan thought for a mont and said, “There’s no need for that. He’s in Los Angeles now with a huge ti difference. He’s busy with tactical analysis for FV Team. Let’s not disturb him. What’s more, he had already seen the content of these two downloadable content when it was first finalized. There shouldn’t be any big problems. Just publish it directly.”

“You were the one who led the developnt of the downloadable content of these old gas. You’ve worked hard. Have a good rest for the next two weeks.”

Wang Xiaobin was a little embarrassed by the praise. He said, “Sigh, I was being forced to put a square peg into a round hole. If Boss Pei had not forced

to do these jobs, I would not have thought that I could develop these downloadable content myself.”

“Ocean Stronghold’s downloadable content is basically Brother Huang’s idea. I’m just cooperating with him.”

Lin Wan smiled. “There’s no need to be overly humble. Humility is a virtue, but it will also affect confidence.”

“Boss Pei obviously wants to nurture everyone into polymaths, able to take charge of everything on our own, and not just be a replaceable part.”

“Summarize your experience this ti. Boss Pei might give you more similar missions in the future.”

Wang Xiaobin nodded. “Alright, I’ll get back to work.”

He returned to his desk, checked it one last ti, and officially updated Repent and be Saved and Ocean Stronghold to the new versions.

The old ga update plan this ti was divided into two parts: The Lonely Desert Road and Ga Designer had been updated earlier because there was not much content; Repent and be Saved and Ocean Stronghold had been updated more. Thus, it had been delayed until this month.

Ocean Stronghold, in particular, had almost a whole new story mode.

This downloadable content was a story about Qin Yi entering the nest when he was the captain of a special team before he beca a commander. The story outline was completely provided by Huang Sibo. It was said to be closely related to the ga plot of Mission and Choice.

Wang Xiaobin did not know the specific plot of ‘Mission and Choice’. He only followed Huang Sibo’s request and the information that he had given him. He seriously organized people to develop this downloadable content for advanced warming up.

Wang Xiaobin had completed the task given to him by Boss Pei now that all the downloadable content had been developed. He could finally relax.

“I’m not sure how Ye Zhizhou is doing. He’s not going to only co back after they win the championship, right?”

Wang Xiaobin had always been unhappy about Boss Pei transferring Ye Zhizhou to Los Angeles to be a tactical analyst.

The person-in-charge of Shang Yang Gas and the person-in-charge of GOG’s international server actually went all the way to Los Angeles to do tactical analysis. It was really like using a sledgehamr to crack a nut.

Initially, Wang Xiaobin had many questions to ask Ye Zhizhou during the process of developing the downloadable content. However, he could not ask them because there was a huge ti difference between the two sides. What’s more, Ye Zhizhou seed to be very busy over there.

However, Wang Xiaobin did not dare to say anything. After all, Boss Pei had personally requested it.

“It’s just an E-Sports competition organized by IOI. I don’t understand why Boss Pei values it so much. Could there be so special considerations?”

“Forget it, I’ll just do my own thing.”

Wang Xiaobin released the downloadable content of the two gas and then paid close attention to the players’ feedback.

...

At the sa ti, in Sloth Apartnts...

Qiao Liang had just woken up. He swiped his cell phone in boredom as he ate the regularly delivered Fish-Catching Take-Out.

“GPL competition will only start at five in the afternoon. Should I play gas or make a video this afternoon?”

“Okay, I’ll continue playing gas.”

“However, there hasn’t been any good gas to play for a long ti.”

“FV team will only compete in the global finals competition on Sunday morning. It’s really frustrating to wait.”

Qiao Liang only used half a second to reject the idea of creating a new video and happily decided to slack off.

However, there were not many good options even if he wanted to slack off. That was because there were not many big projects worth paying attention to recently.

Every ti this happened, Qiao Liang would want to take a taxi to Tengda Gas’ headquarters, put a knife to his own neck and threaten Boss Pei: I’ll die in front of you if you don’t co up with a new ga soon!

Of course, that was just a casual thought. He would definitely not do that.

Qiao Liang knew very well that Boss Pei was actually a person with very high standards for himself. Every new ga that he created would not only have to change its genre but also have a breakthrough in the previous ga.

He would not be like many ga manufacturers who would replicate themselves endlessly after a successful ga. They change their appearance and continue to make money.

Boss Pei’s developnt habits had indeed allowed him to improve in the ga design field. He would also be able to bring dazzling works to gars every ti. However, this also ant that the investnt was getting bigger and incubation ti would be longer.

In fact, the new downloadable content of The Lonely Desert Road and Ga Designer had already hinted that the next ga would be a sci-fi ga. The many Easter eggs and details buried in the ga made Qiao Liang’s heart itch.

However, after waiting for so long, Boss Pei’s new ga was still nowhere to be seen. His enthusiasm from before was almost gone.

Bored, Qiao Liang browsed Aili Island’s website for a while before opening his fan group.

“Eh? Repent and be Saved and Ocean Stronghold have also updated their downloadable content?”

“...Crazy!”

“Why are these old gas updating non-stop? Can’t you focus all your manpower on creating new gas?”

“Sigh, forget it, forget it. I won’t be so calculative as long as this downloadable content can maintain its standard.”

Qiao Liang complained a little, but he knew in his heart that his thinking was still unreasonable.

Such a large-scale ga would take a long ti to develop even though he really wanted to play a new ga as soon as possible. What’s more, more people did not necessarily an that the ga could be developed at a faster pace. It was not a linear relationship. One programr might be able to finish the work in 100 days but 100 programrs could not finish it in one day.

What’s more, updating the downloadable content for old gas was sothing only developers with a conscience would do. There was nothing to criticize.

Qiao Liang imdiately opened the two gas and checked the update announcent.

Compared to the downloadable content of The Lonely Desert Road which was five tis more expensive than the ga itself, the downloadable content of these two gas could be said to be kind hearted.

Repent and be Saved’s downloadable content was priced at 18 yuan. On the other hand, Ocean Stronghold’s downloadable content was updated for free like before. However, there was an additional epic weapon.

Qiao Liang paid before looking at the updated announcents for the two gas.

Most veteran gars had absolute trust in Tengda afterall. Tengda’s pricing in the ga would definitely exceed the value of the ga. It was a sure win situation.

Repent and be Saved’s updates were mainly about the gaplay. There was a new “Reincarnation Mode”. It was mainly ant for elite gars who had already cleared the ga many tis as easy as strolling in their own backyard.

In the ‘Reincarnation Mode’, a new cycle would be opened every month based on the moon in reality.

After entering Reincarnation Mode, the character would return to its initial state. However, all the monsters and drops in the map would be randomized within certain rules. In other words, it was possible for players to encounter stronger monsters from the later stages in the ga and drop stronger equipnt early on.

Of course, there were certain rules to prevent unknown bugs from appearing.

In addition, players could choose to adjust the difficulty of the ga at the Buddha statue or randomly generate the entire world (for the parts that they had yet to challenge). There were seven restrictions within a month.

If they could complete the ‘reincarnation mode’ within a month, they would provide players with a permanent character appearance, including a full set of clothing and weapons.

The content of Ocean Stronghold’s downloadable content was said to be a brand new story mode and a brand new epic weapon. There was no further explanation for the rest. It was probably waiting for gars to experience it themselves in the ga.

“It looks like Repent and be Saved’s downloadable content is more interesting. Even if Ocean Stronghold updates its story mode, it would only take an hour or two. The ga is already so old. It can’t possibly take another four or five hours to complete the plot, right? Wouldn’t that be burning money?”

Qiao Liang opened Repent and be Saved first.

As an experienced gar who had suffered many tis, Qiao Liang knew Repent and be Saved’s contents like the back of his hand. He knew exactly where the monsters were and what would drop.

It was not because he had a good mory, but because he had been tortured too many tis.

Anyone who died dozens of tis in the sa place would have a deep impression of this place.

The downloadable content of the ga might not be substantially updated but it was obvious that the designer had put in a lot of effort to create this new model. What’s more, it has indeed improved the ga’s playability and interest.

It might be a randomised mode, but different monsters, Bosses, and props might cause a ga bug or cause the entire ga flow to be stuck when they randomly appear in certain places. The developnt team had obviously given it so serious thoughts in order to avoid these problems. They had set the rules to avoid such situations as much as possible.

It was still the sa map but the location of the monsters and the dropped items had changed. The previous shortcut route was naturally not useful. The veteran players could push through the entire map from the beginning with a sense of novelty, and the process was filled with surprises.

It was really worth it considering that it was selling at only 18 yuan.

It was easy to imagine that the Reincarnation Mode of Repent and be Saved would beco a monthly mission for veteran gars. They would be able to show off their veteran gars’ identities with a few more souvenir weapons and appearances.

Qiao Liang played for a while. He was very satisfied with Repent and be Saved’s new mode. He saved the progress for now and to savor the ga slowly.

Then, he opened Ocean Stronghold to check the downloadable content.

While Ocean Stronghold was widely known for its 888 yuan Red Kilin and rich PvP mode, the plot of the ga was definitely not bad.

When the ga was first released, many gars beca enamoured with it because of Ocean Stronghold’s unique plot in dostically-produced FPS gas.

Strictly speaking, the plot of Ocean Stronghold was very simple. Players were interacting with a little girl who did not know how to speak the entire ti other than shooting. However, it was still very outstanding after enough details were produced even with such a simple plot.

Boss Pei had already shown his talent in the ga plot design so early on.

The content of the downloadable content could not be more than the original plot, right? Qiao Liang pondered.

The ga’s flow would be quite short if he considered the scale of the original plot and reduced it slightly.... He would be able to finish it in a short while.

Qiao Liang entered Ocean Stronghold’s story mode with such thoughts running in his mind.
