When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 359 Creative Workshop?

Zhou Yang finally felt relieved when he saw Ms. Li nod.

Mr. Gu specifically pointed out that if you want to have interesting bugs in the game, racking your brains to think of bugs is one thing, and preparing the right soil for the bugs in advance is another.

Obviously, the suggestions put forward by Zhou Yang are what he considers to be the "suitable soil".

Since Ms. Li always agrees, it can be said that this game is half successful.

Of course, there are many factors involved in whether a game can be successful. At present, Zhou Yang has only prepared the soil for bugs so that even if bugs appear in the game in the future, they will not appear particularly abrupt and strange. But what kind of bugs will appear in the future? Can players accept it?
It's hard to say.

We can only take one step at a time.

Lilith was about to stand up and leave when Zhou Yang stopped her again.

"Boss Li, please stay. I have something else to ask you.

"Two days ago, the authorities just sent a notice, which is good news."

Lilith raised her eyebrows. "Hmm? Good news?"

Obviously, these three words sounded a little weird to her ears.

Zhou Yang nodded: "Yes, President Li, it is indeed good news.

“We were specifically notified that we can now enable the ‘Creative Workshop’ permission for all our games!
“In fact, under normal circumstances, our company would have met the requirements half a year ago. If we had applied, we would have been approved with a high probability.

“But our company has never applied for it, so after the authorities noticed this, they decided to take the initiative to help us open it.

"Now, as long as you give your approval, the rest of the matters can be handed over to the staff of the official platform..."

However, before Zhou Yang finished speaking, he saw Lilith's face darken instantly: "No!"

Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Why?"

Lilith was speechless. Was there any need to ask why?

Things like opening a creative workshop are obviously harmful to collecting negative emotions and have no benefits!
The so-called creative workshop can be simply understood as an officially supported mod integration platform.

After opening the workshop, all players can open the workshop on the platform and freely upload or download some mods or resources related to the current game.

From small changes like model and sound effect replacement to big changes like gameplay, the more popular a game is, the richer the types of mods there are and the more diverse the gameplay.

But in general, whether it is a mod made by the official itself or a mod made by players out of their love for the game, they all have one characteristic, which is that they will make the game more free and more fun.

Even if some individual players make some mods that are quite disturbing for fun, they will only be a minority in the creative workshop.

Although Lilith cannot predict what kind of mods will appear after opening the creative workshop, she knows that it will definitely be detrimental to her collection of negative emotions.

"Ahem!
“Because these mods will definitely significantly reduce the difficulty and challenge of our game.

“This affects the game content we have carefully designed.

"The experience our Against the Heaven game brings to players is unique and must not be destroyed!"

Lilith said it righteously.

Zhou Yang was silent for a moment, then said, "Boss Li, I think it's just the opposite.

"We can't just do without mods. Even if there is no workshop, players will go to other websites to download various mods, and the result will be the same." On the contrary, if we set up an official workshop, we can decide the popularity of each mod and push some specific mods to players.

“Compared to other websites, it is more controllable.”

Lilith was stunned for a moment, then her brows gradually relaxed.

Huh? It seems like what you said makes sense!

There are already many mod websites on the Internet, such as the largest mod community "NEXTMOD", also known as N Station, which has partitions for almost all games. After players upload mods freely, the website will sort and group these mods according to data such as clicks, downloads, and likes, making it easier for players to find them.

Of course, there are many mods for the game Against the Heaven.

For example, the hardcore gamer had previously created various mods such as "points optimization", "archive and AI management", etc., which almost made Lilith faint from anger.

And she is completely powerless to do anything about these mods.

Even without opening the Creative Workshop, these mods are already everywhere. Players only need to visit a few forums, spend a minute or two downloading the mod file, and then copy it to the root directory of the game to complete the installation.

In this case, if we don’t open a creative workshop, wouldn’t it just be deceiving ourselves?

However, if you open a creative workshop, there will be some advantages.

Because Against the Heavens will have the highest management rights in the creative workshop, which mods can be on the homepage, which mods can get the hot tags, which mods are pushed to players first, and even which mods can be installed by default in the game...

These can all be adjusted in the background.

The mods made by players are not just those that make them happy, such as making the character invincible, doubling the health, multiplying the attack power by 10, etc. There are also some very scary mods, such as super-difficult enemies, turning all monsters into bosses, etc.

Originally, these mods that make players happy will be widely spread, while these mods that make players suffer will be ignored.

After opening the creative workshop, Lilith can put all these mods that abuse players on the homepage for recommendation, and can even let players automatically download them after installing the creative workshop.

This back and forth... seems to be more cost-effective than not opening a creative workshop?

Lilith thought about it and felt that this seemed like a good idea.

“Well, now that you put it that way, it seems that the Creative Workshop is quite important in improving the gaming experience of our Against the Heaven players.

"Very good, since we always put the interests of the players first, let's tell the officials and start!"

Zhou Yang nodded: "Okay, no problem."

Lilith thought about it and called him again: "Wait a minute!
“Since we are opening a creative workshop, why not openly solicit some mods that we want from players.”

Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment: "The mod we want is..."

Lilith waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I'll write the requirements for this activity myself and give them to you tomorrow.

"Go do your thing first."

After saying this, a fascinated expression emerged on Lilith's face, as if she had seen an infinitely bright future and saw the beautiful scene of players being driven to tears by all kinds of outrageous mods.

Zhou Yang didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Okay, President Li, I'll tell the official to open the creative workshop first. Once you complete the requirements for the mod collection activity, I'll post it as soon as possible."
