This is not a BUG, this is a game feature - #263 - Chapter 263 The Galaxy Emperor? (I wish you all a Happy New Year)

In fact, there are already many types of human-computer interactive games with multiple peripherals as described by Chen Ba.

For example, the most classic fitness game!

It is not uncommon to hold a peripheral grip in your hand and then swing the racket towards the TV screen to play ball, table tennis, tennis, etc.

to be honest.

This idea was not the first one that Chen Ba came up with. The industry has long begun to explore the content of human-computer interactive games.

However, it is indeed relatively rare for fighting games to use such a human-computer interaction method…

“This interactive entertainment method has a very fatal problem, which can also be said to be a flaw, that is, it consumes too much energy and the players’ enthusiasm does not get the feedback it deserves.”

Chen Ba explained.

This kind of game may be interesting for the first time, but you will feel exhausted after playing it for a few minutes, and then you will no longer be interested in playing it.

The reason is that Chen Ba believes that the positive feedback given by the game is not enough to support players to continue playing. After all, no one likes to do something stupid that is tiring and meaningless.

Chen Ba thinks there is no solution to the problem of physical exertion.

After all, the purpose of these peripherals is to allow players to “activate” them. It can be said that from the beginning of the design, they never thought of being as worry-free and labor-saving as keyboard and mouse controllers.

Since the problem of stamina consumption cannot be solved, let’s change the idea and make players feel that the consumption of stamina is valuable. This is indeed a happy thing.

simply put……

Anyone who plays games with this kind of peripheral will get tired after playing for a long time. Chen Ba hopes that while everyone feels tired, they will also feel sincerely happy and receive better positive feedback.

“Is it possible to achieve this by satisfying the second grade fantasy?” Xiao Lu asked.

“I’m not sure, but you can give it a try!”

There is a saying that Chen Ba still remembers vividly, that is, a man will remain a boy until he dies!

The game “Star Emperor” is already famous for its gorgeous fighting special effects. While retaining this shining point, it also adds a new set of peripheral interaction modes to satisfy the middle school fantasies of these big boys and maybe make them happy. satisfy.

He understood that feeling all too well.

When I was a child, I would pick up a wooden stick casually on the side of the road, and I would imagine that I was an omnipotent hero, and with a few strokes, I would cut it into two pieces for the flowers and plants on the roadside.

This is a romance unique to men, and it is also a dark history that every boy hides in his heart and is ashamed to talk about.

it’s good now!

You don’t need any wooden sticks, just a set of peripherals, and you can experience the feeling of invincibility and power that the “Supreme Emperor” has in the fantasy novels…

“That’s really cool!”

Despite his age, Lao Luo has no resistance to this fantasy.

He said that if it could really produce the effect described by Brother Ba, no, no, no… even if it was only half the effect, he would be happy to pay for this set of peripherals.

It’s time to buy yourself a “toy”!

The Supreme Emperor in the fantasy fairy novels, the supreme power that dominates the world, even if it is simply simulated through peripherals, the feeling is exciting enough.

It would be even better if you go to VR!

“If we can’t use VR, our games must consider the audience. If we use VR, it will discourage the vast majority of players.”

Chen Ba explained: “In fact, in my vision, in addition to this set of royal peripherals, “Star Emperor 2″ can also be played using traditional keyboard, mouse and controller.”

These are for backward compatibility.

It’s impossible, as Xiao Lu said, to prevent keyboard, mouse and controller players from playing this game in order to promote more expensive peripheral sets, right?

That’s not realistic…

However, one code equals another. Although Chen Ba does not advocate VR, players who have VR equipment can still use VR to play “Star Emperor 2”.

Supports VR, but this is not a VR game!

“understood!”

Yang Dong nodded and said: “We mainly promote the royal peripherals, but it is not mandatory. Players are free to use whatever equipment they want to play.”

That’s fine.

He was initially worried that in order to create a so-called “next-generation fighting game”, Brother Ba would not allow keyboard, mouse and controller to play games.

Now it seems that Brother Ba is not that extreme and crazy. He just added a set of royal peripherals based on the “Star Emperor” generation to provide a better gaming experience.

It’s actually OK if you don’t buy peripherals, but just buy games, just like the original “Star Emperor” generation…

“Do you want to keep the role?”

Since it is the orthodox sequel to “Star Emperor”, Yang Dong wants to know, will the characters from the first generation game appear in the second generation?

“It depends!”

“Some characters will appear in the second-generation sequel, and some characters will be abandoned.” Chen Ba said, spreading his hands.

There’s nothing we can do about it.

So far, “Star Emperor” has introduced more than 60 characters. With so many characters, it is impossible to reproduce them all in the second-generation sequel.

The characters are completely copied, so what’s the point of buying a sequel?

The majority of sequels will definitely be some new characters. Only a few characters from the previous game that are more popular and more loyal to players will have the opportunity to reappear.

certainly!

The protagonist of the previous game, Starry Sky Emperor, will definitely return. Based on his name alone, this character will never fade out of the players’ horizons.

“However, although there is still Star Emperor in “Star Emperor 2″, the protagonist is no longer him.”

“Then who is the protagonist?”

“His son!”

Chen Ba said with a smile: “The life of the Starry Sky Emperor is already glorious enough. To be honest, if we want to make a sequel, we can only use his son as the protagonist…”

And with the Starry Sky Emperor as the protagonist?

what?

He is so brilliant and has reached the pinnacle, how can he still be the protagonist? You can’t just destroy your cultivation and start over from scratch, right?

That would be too stupid!

Based on this premise, the protagonist of “Star Emperor 2” can only be his son, “Little Star Sky” who was born to be a saint and has the qualifications of an emperor.

“There’s no problem with this arrangement, but I have a question. In the plot of the previous game, wasn’t the Star Emperor that… single?”

It was obvious that Xiao Lu was feeling very uncomfortable. At this moment, he finally couldn’t help but ask: “Since I have been single for ten thousand years and only want to pursue the path of immortality, where did I get my wife and children?”

Chen Ba: “…”

Okay, you’ve got an idea!

He really hadn’t thought about this, but he only remembered it after Xiao Lu reminded him. It seemed that the Starry Sky Emperor was indeed a single person.

“Well, let’s do this. When “Star Emperor 2″ is about to be released, we will update the plot of the previous game and say that Star Emperor found the love of his life and then had a child…”

Chen Ba thought for a while, probably because he was single, so why did Star Emperor have someone send him a wife, but he had nothing?

So, he said with malice in his heart: “However, there are unforeseen circumstances. In order to fight against the turmoil caused by the restricted area, the Starry Sky Emperor ignored the safety of the mother and son, resulting in the death of his wife and the whereabouts of his son.”

A great mother resolutely sacrificed herself in order to protect her newborn child.

My family is in tears!

Although she was just a tool to lead out the main plot of the sequel, Yang Dong still felt that Brother Ba was too cruel to the Star Emperor.

The emperor who protects all living beings cannot protect his wife and children in the end. Isn’t this a joke?

“No way, please understand.”

Chen Ba coughed and said: “Without this arrangement, the starting point for the protagonist of the sequel would be too high. After all, he was born into the realm of a saint, and he also has an old father who is a powerful man.”

How can I make up a story?

In order to make the protagonist’s growth more bumpy and his experience more legendary in the sequel, necessary hardships are indispensable.

“In order to find his son, the Starry Sky Emperor broke the cycle of reincarnation and resurrected his wife, and traveled far away from the world sea and starry sky. People in Tianshu Star thought that the Great Emperor had died, and the story of the sequel began…”

According to the timeline, the plot of “Star Emperor 2” takes place approximately 10,000 years later.

That’s right!

Ten thousand years have passed, and the Starry Sky Emperor has become history. Except for a few old antiques, no one remembers this supreme and powerful emperor.

The protagonist, who was hidden by his mother’s seal and was finally unsealed at this moment, also began his glorious life of fighting in the world, defeating all the geniuses, and becoming an emperor.

“He doesn’t have a name?”

“No……”

Chen Ba shook his head.

It’s quite embarrassing to say that the Starry Sky Emperor was originally an unknown boy. Because of his unique “starry sky body”, he was called Starry Sky Son by the world.

Later, when he became an emperor, he called himself the Great Emperor of the Starry Sky. He only had a Taoist title but no name…

And his son was sealed shortly after he was born. How could he know who his father was? The memory is a blur, and there is definitely no name.

But it’s not a big problem!

Although the protagonist is an unknown person like his father, as the son of the Great Emperor, it is not difficult for him to get the title of domineering and leaky.

It is worth mentioning that he not only inherited his father’s astral body, but also mutated and evolved into a brand new physique, the galactic body.

So the title and other things have actually been decided a long time ago!

The protagonist of “Star King 2” is the son of Star King, the protagonist of the previous game, and his future name will be Galaxy King.

“Why not an astral body?”

“you’re so dumb?”

Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said, “This is a fighting game, and each character has its own unique skill set and positioning. If father and son both have the same physique, wouldn’t it be repetitive?”

It must be a different physique, so that a new set of skills can be made, eliminating the need for the father and son to share a set of skills. Except for the different original painting and modeling, players can’t tell who is who.

Speaking of which, Chen Ba prepared an Easter egg full of malice.

That is, in the game, the skill set of the Galaxy Emperor is actually the counter pick of the Star Emperor, which is a counter-pick.

Commonly known as “natural enemy”!

If you want to restrain the bucket warriors like Star Emperor, then choose Galaxy Emperor without any thought. The father resigns and the son laughs, etc. It’s so fun.

Of course, this is just a design Easter egg in the game mechanism, and this is not the case in the plot.

nonsense!

His father, the Starry Sky Emperor, was ten thousand years ahead of him. It took him so long to become emperor. As a rising star, his son would definitely not be able to beat Lao Deng.

“That’s pretty much it.”

“There is no need to discuss the mechanism or anything like that. Just modify the mechanism of the previous game and apply it directly…”

Chen Ba feels that since it is a sequel, it must retain some of the characteristics of the previous work.

Therefore, the game mechanics and details can be kept as they are. For example, the most classic “Chicken Blood Optimization” and the Road to Immortality will definitely be retained in the sequel.

Maybe I need to upgrade it!

Let’s not talk about chicken-blood optimization. This thing cannot be upgraded even if it wants to be upgraded. After all, it is a black technology from the system.

The key is the path to becoming an immortal. Some adjustments and upgrades must be made appropriately. For example, in the past, the highest level was the Immortal Emperor, but this may not be the case in the sequel…

But these are secondary.

The most important thing at the moment is to contact China Mirage Electronics, which Chen Ba is optimistic about, to discuss acquisition or cooperation-related matters.

That’s right, acquisition!

Chen Ba decided to promote peripheral sets in “Star Emperor 2”. He will definitely not make wedding clothes for others. He will definitely make the money himself.

Mirage Electronics is just the first choice. If they don’t agree, Tianba Studio can’t find other companies to cooperate.

“They have no reason to say no.”

Huang Qing shook his head and said: “First of all, I checked. The current valuation of China Mirage Electronics is less than 100 million. It is a typical start-up company.”

“How long this kind of enterprise can sustain depends entirely on the strength of the investors. It is definitely a good thing for us to enter the market. Otherwise, if all the money is burned out in two days and no one invests, they will have no choice but to go bankrupt.”

“And one more thing, that is, the sponsorship of the “Star Emperor 2″ project comes from all participating teams in the GAL League…”

That’s the GAL League!

As the famous “E-Sports F1”, the popularity of the GAL League is obvious to all. Being able to ride on this big ship and become the official “peripheral” provider of the GAL League, Mirage Electronics took off directly.

Don’t feel outrageous!

The influence of e-sports F1 is more exaggerated than everyone imagines, especially on the PC console, which is the authority among authorities.

for example!

Logitech spent a lot of money to win the official mouse sponsorship of the GAL League, and specially designed a new product for the GAL League that is not inferior to GPW.

Then, this mouse sold out!

This is the terrifying influence of the GAL League. In terms of digital hardware, its ability to bring goods and traffic is definitely the best in the world. You can advertise on CCTV without sponsoring the GAL League.

This is also the reason why Sansang sponsored the GAL League in the first year, but canceled the sponsorship in the second year and replaced the game-specific monitor with Dell. Sansang immediately regretted it and spent huge sums of money to persuade all its friends to quit in the third year.

However, the competition for monitor sponsorship is nothing. After all, there are only a few companies that can compete for the “exclusive sponsor” of the GAL League.

Can you believe that the most competitive sponsorship is mineral water?

Red Bull, White Cola and Coco-Cola are all going crazy. There are also several other giants in the beverage industry who are eager to try. Everyone is targeting the exclusive sponsorship of the GAL League.

Don’t ask them why they are active!

Audiences who love watching the GAL League are loyal customers of these drinks. To put it harshly, whoever wins the GAL League wins the market.

In this case, these beverage giants must not raise prices desperately!
