Chapter 185: Chapter 138: Speeding Frenzy_2
Yes, just like that, so crude!
Don’t bother
with all sorts of nonsense, just tell
outright, whose ga to copy for the new one.
Does saying so much really help?
Better to keep it simple, take an existing ga as a reference for plagiarism, activate the Sharingan, and start pixel-by-pixel copying and imitation...
Of course!
Chen Ba’s skin is relatively thin, he can’t blatantly plagiarize competitors, he hopes to create a different ga based on learning from their successful experiences.
"Borrowing, I get it!"
Everyone burst into laughter, instantly understanding Ba’s intention.
"Don’t laugh so lewdly..."
Chen Ba said speechlessly: "I did ask you to borrow from competitors, but I didn’t say to copy directly. We can’t afford lawsuits, we must have our own limits."
There are so many racing gas, no need to target just one for fleece.
Steal a bit from here, learn a bit from there, aim for mixing and matching, gathering strengths from various sources!
"It might end up being a Frankenstein’s monster, a pile of sh*t..."
Chen Ba laughed and said: "Hopefully not, we still have to create sothing with our own characteristics, different from other racing gas."
What would be this unique feature?
He thought of sothing, and that’s to make a fuss over "car" models. Instead of confining to sports cars or rally cars, maybe venture down a different path, like creating a "vintage car" racing ga?
"Scrap King Championship, right?"
Lu couldn’t help but said: "A bunch of antique scrap cars scavenged from junkyards, making creaky noises, charging to the finish line at 30 km/h..."
"What’s wrong with that?"
"Who said racing gas must use luxurious cars or professional race cars?" Chen Ba retorted.
Racing gas have evolved to the point where many car models are too far removed for players.
For any racing ga enthusiast, their garage is full of various luxurious cars and sports cars, like Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari... so mouth-watering.
Luxurious cars, sports cars, even professional race cars, have all been almost fully explored by other gas.
Chen Ba doesn’t want to focus on cars that are too distant for regular players, cars that one might never drive even after working hard for a lifeti. He wishes to create sothing more casual, down-to-earth, not so expensive, models you see everywhere on the street.
"Alternative?"
Zhong Shengwei twirled his ballpoint pen thoughtfully: "Mainly household cars, grocery getters?"
"Exactly!"
Chen Ba nodded: "Not just household and grocery cars, but also those leisure scooters for the elderly, three-wheelers, electric bikes can be included."
Aiming for down-to-earth!
Not only the car models but the track maps must also be down-to-earth. Traffic lights, rush hour, random lane cutting and changing, roadworks... could be seen as obstacle courses.
The gaplay is actually similar to other gas, a bunch of cars departing from the start, passing through checkpoints, completing sections, and finally ranking and scoring based on performance.
But the ga has built-in traffic rules.
For example, if you encounter a red light, you have to stop and wait for it to turn green, or you’ll get a ti penalty. If pedestrians or electric bikes dash around, evasion is necessary, or you’ll similarly be penalized.
"Will there be speed limits?"
As the only one in the studio who hasn’t gotten a driver’s license, Zhang Xiaojun proposed an odd idea: "If there’s a speed limit in a racing ga, that’s too abstract..."
"No speed limits!"
Chen Ba knew what she was thinking, rolled his eyes and said: "How could there be speed limits? The ga is about overcoming a series of obstacles in the shortest ti and quickly reaching the finish line."
The shorter the ti used, the better the record!
Such gas can’t have speed limits, because limits would greatly reduce the ga’s upper potential and playability, draining the drive to break new records.
Thus there are other rules, but no speed limits, the ga encourages speed, even the faster the better...
As for how to drive at such high speeds, maneuvering through city streets, that’s where players’ skills are put to test.
"Will there be traffic jams in rush hour?"
"Yes!"
Chen Ba explained: "Traffic jams will occur, but in this ga, there will be enough room for players to cut and bypass."
In short, if you’re skilled and confident in bypassing and overtaking, rush hours are no challenge, pass easily.
If you’re less skilled, then just wait patiently and queue up for passage! Don’t think of reckless maneuvers, or face penalties that aren’t worth the loss...
"What about car models?"
"Buy license from car manufacturers!"
Chen Ba has already steeled himself for a payout. Luckily, he’s targeting regular household cars and grocery getters, so licensing should be cheaper than for luxury and sports cars.
Besides the basic car models’ appearance, if possible, get the specific paraters and component details from manufacturers.
This could be quite useful!
Most racing gas support "vehicle modifications."
There are modifications that don’t affect performance, only the car’s appearance and paint, and there are parts modifications that impact performance.
The latter is more important.
Chen Ba understands customizing cars is also important to players, so he plans to offer a wide range of modification options.
But the performance ceiling must be capped.
Modification freedom is high, but you can’t upgrade an elderly leisure car to be faster than a rocket, that’s too absurd.
"By the way!"
"Besides buying at the 4S dealership, you can hit up second-hand car markets and scrap yards for cheap picks."
Chen Ba couldn’t help but laugh: "This should satisfy so players’ desire to manually refurbish, turning a near-scrap car into a top-notch racing vehicle, accompanying them in races..."
Didn’t Lu look down on vintage cars?
With serious modifications, vintage cars can be fun, but it might be ti-consuming.
That’s basically the frawork.
As a racing ga, the core is still "speeding." Just do the cars and tracks right, and there shouldn’t be major issues.
Regarding tracks...
Aside from standard city roads, Chen Ba plans to include several common tracks, like beaches, grasslands, snowy roads, and steep mountain paths.
These are common track types in racing gas, used to enrich the ga’s content.
"And also a weather system!"
Chen Ba seed to have thought of sothing, and finally added: "Thunderstorms, rain, wind, snow, fog, heat... various weather changes, I hope can be showcased in the ga."
Weather is pseudo-random.
Pseudo-random ans, before a race starts, players receive a weather forecast allowing them to make adjustnts like choosing models or changing tires accordingly.
"This is easy!"
A fully random weather system might be hard to develop, but a pseudo-random system is not much of a challenge for Yang Dong and the others.
After all, in previous gas, they’ve tried sothing similar.
Like in the ga "Divine Grace Continent
