Losing Money to Be a Tycoon Chapter 1659 - "Shu Li"

Chapter 1659: “Shu Li”

The bullet screen comnts mocked him.

“I’m dying of laughter. Old Qiao is like a food critic who felt good about himself. He insisted on trying to cook himself, but in the end, he ended up like this.”

“Humans cannot be too confident. Why do you think you can be an independent ga designer? Don’t you know?”

“I can tell. Dawn Gas ga editor is indeed less difficult than the official ga editor, but it is still not sothing that soone with Teacher Qiao’s IQ can control.”

Qiao Liang explained himself indignantly. “Just wait. I’ll work hard on researching this ga editor after the broadcast. I’ll take out a finished ga one day to blind you.”

“However, my failure today proves at least one thing: independent ga designers are indeed not easy.”

“Every rubbish ga that everyone sees might have gathered the hard work of a group of people.”

“Of course, we still have to scold rubbish gas. However, everyone should appropriately support the hardwork of independent ga designers and see how outstanding they are.”

“That’s a good saying. You might not understand much on paper, but you’ll never understand.”

“You can criticize any ga unscrupulously from the perspective of players. Only those who are truly designers can understand the difficulties involved.”

Qiao Liang recalled the process when he tried to create the ga. At first, he only wanted to be a wolf that knew how to eat sheep. However, he realized that he had a small problem. He did not know how to increase the attacking movents of the wolf.

This small problem was quickly resolved. However, after solving it, he discovered a new problem.

For example, what range would this wolf make an attack? Should there be blood spurting out to attack after making an action, should it make a few more movents that seed more realistic? What if the wolf’s attack movents and the sheep did not cooperate well and there was a situation of biting through space or wearing models?

......

There were a lot of such problems. In order to achieve a very simple function in the ga, there was a huge amount of design behind it.

It was just like cooking.

It was very easy for custors to taste a dish that was salty or light. However, for chefs, the final taste of a dish might be completed through more than ten different steps. Any problem with the order could cause the final outco to be hugely different from their expectations.

The difficulty level of this was incomprehensible to those who had never really cooked before.

Qiao Liang realized that there was another unexpected benefit to this ga editor. It allowed ordinary players to experience the daily work of ga designers.

That was because the official ga editor was not open to everyone. There was a certain threshold. Most players would not deliberately download the official ga editor. Thus, very few players had truly experienced making gas.

However, the Dawn Gas ga editor was built internally on Dawn Gas platform. The initial program was actually not big. However, there were a large number of plug-in programming bags and resource bags inside.

Many players would try the ga editor function when they opened the Dawn Gas platform out of curiosity. People like Qiao Liang who took a sip would at least understand the difficulties of ga production.

On the other hand, those who were truly talented and liked ga design because of that could continue to download new programrs and resource packs. They could continue to improve their design standards through self-learning. For all they knew, another outstanding independent ga designer might appear in the future.

After looking at the Dawn Gas ga editor, Qiao Liang looked at the ‘Shu Li’ that he had been waiting for for a long ti.

The ga ‘Shu Li’ had undergone a huge delay. However, the official platform had already made it very clear that they were going to modify the new ga editor and explain that they would add new ga content.

Therefore, the players were still filled with hope even though they were unhappy.

After all, there was a saying: No one would rember a rubbish ga that was released on ti.

That was unless there were enough bugs in this rubbish ga to make a .

Of course, this was just a joke. However, there was no problem with the logic. It did not matter much if a ga was released one or two months earlier or one or two months later. The key was still the quality of the ga.

Qiao Liang had already bought and downloaded ‘Shu Li’ and entered the ga.

…

The opening scene of the ga was a promotional animation. It was not fundantally different from the promotional animation that was released previously. However, the details looked more exquisite.

The last scene was still the old Taoist picking up the baby from the monster village and turning to leave. The raging flas burned everything to ashes.

The scene changed and entered the ga plot.

A young man with a treasure sword on his back was facing him. He kowtowed a few tis in a naless grave next to the straw house in the mountain.

Obviously, according to the developnt of the plot, the old Taoist should have brought the child into the deep mountains to impart martial arts. At that mont, the old Taoist was already gone, and the young man was going down the mountain to kill demons.

Then, it entered the initial novice guidance stage. Qiao Liang found that he could control the protagonist to move, attack, use simple spells or pick up items.

Players could enter the small straw house to pick up so props.

He could also play wood piles or execute the various operations in the newbie guide.

At the sa ti, the young man recalled the old Taoist’s instructions.

“The Confucian, Shi, and Dao soldiers each have their own strengths. You might have learned from , but you don’t have to be constrained to the Daoist thods. As long as the four Dao techniques and divine arts can save the people in the world, they have their rits.”

“The world is in chaos, and demons are bringing disaster to the human world. We are the ones who get rid of the demons and protect the commoners, so that the people in the world will no longer suffer the pain of being exiled. We are the ones who made the wise stop sighing at the sorrow of Shu Li.”

“Man and earth, earth and heaven, heaven and earth, heaven and magic, nature.”

“The path is under your feet. Think carefully about how to walk it.”

After a simple learning and familiarity, the young man descended the mountain. Qiao Liang officially began his torturous journey.

…

Shu Li had already released so trial videos previously but Qiao Liang still thought that this was just a Repent and be Saved that had changed the background.

After all, the suffering that the entire combat system gave people was very similar to Repent and be Saved.

However, Qiao Liang realized that there was a huge difference between the two after playing.

‘Shu Li’ was not a clumsy imitation of Repent and be Saved. It had its own design concept.

In the plot of ‘Shu Li’, the protagonist would obtain the heritage of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and soldiers. Every system would give the protagonist a powerful ability outside the basic combat system.

The basic combat system was similar to Repent and be Saved. There were different uses for weapons such as knives, spears, swords, halberds, and so on. They relied purely on their own operating skills. It was definitely a gaplay to be proficient in using various weapons to clear the ga. However, if they used the powerful abilities of four different systems, they would be like a tiger that had grown wings.

The four systems could increase players’ stats but they had their own characteristics.

For example, dao techniques were suitable for players who were well-prepared before battle to pursue maximum improvent.

On the other hand, Buddha Dharma provided a permanent buff effect that was suitable for lazy people.

Confucianism could be targeted at the enemy’s weakness. It was the best choice for speed. Only veteran players with superb operations could maximize its effect.

On the other hand, the art of war had a very useful effect. It was suitable for players who had just entered the ga. They could prepare in advance for the battle. They could also improve the group enhancent effect when summoning NPCs. Newbies could choose brainlessly.

This reflected the fundantal difference between the design concept of Shu Li and Repent and be Saved.

“Shu Li” allowed players to reduce the difficulty of the ga through various rich ga chanisms and skills combination. They could even achieve the effect of cutting grass in key battles for the week. They could pass it brainlessly.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he had a deep understanding of the ga chanism.

It did not matter if players did not like to study the ga’s combat chanism in Repent and be Saved. As long as they died a few more tis, they would be familiar with it.

However, in Shu Li, if players were stubborn and did not learn the ga chanism but insisted on using their bodies to fight the monsters, the final outco would probably be rather tragic.

Of course, it was difficult to say which design was better. They could only say that they were facing different gars and focused on different ga fun.

Other than that, there were rumors that Shu Li might use a stage layout. This seed to be a plan of the design team previously, but this plan obviously did not extend to the official ga.

‘Shu Li’ was the sa as Repent and be Saved. It was still a huge, seamless map. The various scenes were closely connected. There would not be the stiff operation of switching stages.

Players would play the role of this young man and travel around. They would arrive at many different scenes in the ga.

For example, at the border of the north, the protagonist would participate in the battle between the army of the central plains and the cavalry of the alien race.

He would also personally experience the collapse of countless Buddha Towers and the scene of soldiers destroying Buddha.

Other than that, they would also enter the heavily-protected imperial city and talk to a few important characters in the current plot. They would choose to support a certain prince and beco the new emperor.

All of these scenes were connected together. Each scene had a magic circle for players to teleport between different scenes.

That would create a miniature frawork world in the ga.

Of course, at the beginning, the project team of “Shu Li” wanted to make it into a checkpoint form. This saying was not groundless. Yan Qi had indeed had such plans back then.

That was because both of these thods had their advantages and disadvantages in such a seamless map and checkpoint model.

‘Shu Li’ might repeatedly experience the battle in a certain area and obtain so props or resources that they were in urgent need of because the ga chanism also included the gaplay.

It would be more convenient to use the stages to create it then.

However, after much consideration, Yan Qi felt that the checkpoint model was still too weak for players’ imrsion in the ga. Thus, he decided to work harder to achieve the sa effect on the seamless map.

Simply put, players could temporarily change the state of a certain area through special props or talisman charms. They could return to a special ti point and participate in a specific battle again to obtain the relevant rewards.

The main body of the entire seamless world would still change according to the progress of the plot.

This thod might not be perfect, but it would at least combine the seamless map and the checkpoint model as much as possible and create a gaplay on the seamless map.
