The lord is an undercover agent

Chapter 6 6. A project with no future!

Sifel has also read some novels with the label "player stream" or "fourth natural disaster stream" before.

However, in Sifel's view, in this type of novel, the player's work enthusiasm and subjective initiative are mostly dramatically beautified.There are also many novels whose backgrounds take place before the advent of immersive virtual reality games. The protagonist's game is the only virtual reality game in the world. After eating the dividends of the blue ocean, so many players continue to work for the protagonist.

Or, the protagonist of the novel has already strictly screened the players, and the player's literacy is far from representing the average level of normal players.

In fact, does the project "Summoning Players" have investment potential?
As a dedicated blazing angel and archduke devil, Xifeier spent 3 minutes studying the relevant knowledge of game production through the search engine.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that summoning the players would allow him, the lord, to pay for the coffin!

Such a project has great potential!The future is boundless!

Sifel wrote in the document in his mind, listing the various "advantages" of summoning players one by one.

First of all, this is a very legitimate reason to mobilize resources from hell, and the intelligence of the "Book of Lords" can't see any flaws at all.

But as long as the project is promoted, it will definitely make the first floor of the Nine Prisons lose even the principal and interest.

The first point is to summon so many players, it is necessary to create a physical body for each player.This requires a large amount of alchemy solution, and a large amount of soul energy is consumed during the production process.

But as long as you think about it for a while, you will know that the "accounts" created by most players will be wasted!

Because virtual reality games are a brand-new type of game, and the current mainstream is stand-alone buyout type product games, which don’t care about the “retention rate”, Xifeier can’t find authoritative retention rate data for reference.

But Sifel referred to service-oriented games that continue to operate on other platforms.

Taking mobile games as an example, the first-day retention rate of most mobile games is just over 30%.This means that 24 to [-]% of players will abandon the pit within [-] hours of entering a mobile game!

As for the 7-day retention rate, many mobile games don’t even have 10%.

Obviously, with the abandonment of a group of players, these fleshy bodies, which cost a lot of resources to build and have been "pinched" by the players, are all wasted.

Imagine that the company spends a lot of money on custom-made special equipment for each new employee, but [-]% of the employees will resign in the first week of work.Privately customized equipment is also directly scrapped.

Is it possible for such a company not to lose money?
impossible!

While imagining the beautiful scenario of losing all his money, Sifel continued to list the new unique advantages of the "Summoning Player Project" in the document.

The second advantage is that the player's work efficiency is not high!
As the Grand Duke of the Devil and the lord of the War Wilderness, his government orders have to be reviewed by the "Book of the Lord", so it is impossible to really instruct the mercenaries to fish.

But Xifeier is clear about the characteristics of the player!
Although there are indeed liver emperors, but in what age, casual players are the mainstream players.

The rise of moba and mobile games, and the decline of traditional online games MMO are signs that the game time of mainstream players is becoming more and more fragmented.

Players are here to play games, not to play "Leek Simulator" or "Black Slave Simulator".

On the surface, there are many people who are "addicted to games", but that is mostly caused by double standards.

A person who spends 3 hours playing the same game every day may be called "addicted to games", but if a person only spends 3 hours a day studying or working, he is rarely called "addicted to study" or "addicted to work" .

Most of those parents who accuse their children of "if you study as hard as playing games" don't know how bad their children are in games!
Sifel has just studied the knowledge of game production for 3 minutes. He knows very well that in order to make players love a game, it requires careful design of level planning and numerical planning, and a difficulty curve that fits the heart flow. Continuous high-frequency positive feedback of benefits, as well as challenges that are temporarily unattainable but hopeful.

It's just that after Sisyphus finished pushing the stone, [experience +1] popped up on his head, but Sisyphus couldn't push the stone up the mountain willingly for a long time.

But the wonderful thing is that Sifel doesn't understand the design of this piece at all.As a layman, is it possible for the game he made to be addictive and spend the whole day in the game?

impossible!

As the Grand Duke of the Devil, Sifel can reasonably send soul energy to mercenaries as "salary".And the player, isn't that what he is looking for, a pillar of talent who spends more money and works less, and asks for benefits every day?

The third and most important advantage is that players have low loyalty, lawlessness, disobedience to discipline, and lawlessness!
My own identity is sensitive, and I cannot instruct the player to clearly oppose it.But if the player is disobedient, it is convenient to explain to the "Book of Lords".

Players, scolding the planner at the official is commonplace.Human-shaped natural disasters, geese pluck their feathers, leaving no armor anywhere they go.

When did you have a whim, tear down the main city, beat up a few devil "NPCs", and make yourself pay a little more!
Thinking of this, Grand Duke Xifeier felt that the project had a bright future!

Just do it, do it now!
The Goddess of Glory once told Sifel not to mention to others which material world she originated from in her previous life.

So in the matter of summoning Blue Star players, Sifel does not intend to use the help of others, but to fiddle with it by himself.

He opened the bronze bound "Book of the Lord", applied for a budget, and mobilized the soul energy of the war wilderness.He connected to Blue Star's cyberspace again and began to design the game framework to prepare for the arrival of players.

"The name of the game should be "Dawn"."

"The first is the level and the extraordinary system. In the "Book of the Lord", there are several extraordinary systems recorded in it, which basically come from the material world that has been invaded by the Nine Prisons."

"Sequence? Mecha? Domineering? Beastmaster? Ability? Card? Qimen? Fate?"

Sifel is worried that it may be difficult for Blue Stars who have not been exposed to supernatural power to adapt to the general supernatural system.So he chose the one that is most friendly to novices, an extraordinary system based on "professions" and "cards".

This system is a bit like the legend of a certain stone. Players can choose familiar professions such as fighters, mages, and priests in traditional rpgs, but the active and passive abilities of all professions, as well as props and equipment, are displayed in the form of "cards".

Syfel, who is designing the game structure, can't help but look at things.

"Speaking of which, when I was an angel, I have been to the world of swords and magic with cards as the core? Together with the warriors who use the power of cards, I have repelled the army of the devil prince Mephisto."

"I don't know what the world is like now."

"Anyway, if I lose all the soul energy in the territory, I will run away with a bucket. After I get rid of the identity of the Grand Duke of the Devil, I can go wherever I want, whether it is Blue Star or that world..."

Syfel continued to conceive:
"The current level upper limit is set to level 59, which is the level of the peak middle-level devil. It is similar to the old monster."

"It's not that I don't want to set a higher level cap, but this card-based extraordinary system, starting at level 60, requires breakthrough materials every time you advance, but the "Book of Lords" does not record the required material formula."

"Anyway, I won't be able to do it for long, and I'm about to run away. I don't have to think about higher-level things."

"The player's body is only level 1 at the beginning. Although I want to be a little more prodigal, the "Book of Lords" does not allow me to create a body that is too powerful for this group of mercenaries."

"Using the virtual helmet as a medium, the player's consciousness is projected into hell, and the body is manipulated. If the body dies, it can be resurrected at the rebirth point. Players over level 1 will lose their level after death."

"Anyway, players can kill monsters, extract their soul energy, and upgrade their level!"

"In this game, soul energy can be directly called experience points. Hey, I can also design some tasks and reasonably give players experience points as rewards."

"Well, there are also various rare equipment and materials. You can find some reason to distribute them to players. Anyway, the name is to arm and reward your subordinates. With the intelligence of "Book of Lords", it is not a problem to deceive it."

"After this wave, within three months, the family property of the territory can be almost wiped out!"

"The internal test time is set in half a month! We must start the internal test before the release of Paradise Fruit's virtual reality game "Doomsday Twilight"!"

"Now, let's make a promotional video first. In the "Book of the Lord", there are many scenes of bloody battles. They are all big scenes of the battle between the hell devil army and the abyss devil. It is suitable for CG."

Normally, making a game requires the joint efforts of planning, art, and programming.These positions can be subdivided into specific positions such as "level planning", "numerical planning", "main art", "original painting", "[-]D art", and "front-end architecture".

But Syfel didn't really develop a game, and most of the work wasn't required.

For example, the most expensive modeling and rendering are not considered at all.

A whole day later, with the help of the Bronze Book, Sifel built a "large-scale cross-plane fanlock network" as the "server" of the game.Its main function is to pull voluntary blue star souls, project them to the first layer of the Nine Prisons, and prepare a new body for each consciousness projection.

Every time a body is created, a certain amount of soul energy and a lot of alchemy materials are consumed.Although Sifel wants to be a little more prodigal, if the configuration is higher, "Book of Lords" will issue a warning.
