Starting with Genshin Impact, the whole world is going crazy for it.

Although Zhou Tiankuo's production points have decreased significantly recently, the money he earns hasn't stopped flowing in at all...

Delicious.

To Zhou Tiankuo's surprise, among all the games, the ones that are still experiencing a large number of user growth every day are Genshin Impact and League of Legends.

These are the two games I initially released.

"As expected of RPGs and MOBAs... their vitality is truly extraordinary."

Zhou Tiankuo remembered that the world he had transmigrated to was almost the same.

Moreover, MOBA games are superior in many ways.

From any perspective, MOBA is the leader in the gaming industry, and for more than a decade, no other game format has been able to surpass it.

Despite his sighs, Zhou Tiankuo kept watching the League of Legends update.

In the current standard version, the PC game is a unified whole, where players can play matchmaking, brawl, and chess.

It also supports training mode and custom modes, not to mention those.

The mobile version separates matchmaking and Teamfight Tactics, because these two game formats target different audiences.

There are certainly more mobile game players, but this also presents a problem: if two game modes are put into the same game, the game size will definitely not be small.

Do mobile gamers have enough memory, and are they willing to pay for an entire game?

Taking all this into account, Zhou Tiankuo followed the previous model of Riot Games, dividing the game into two mobile games.

So far, in addition to new skins, there have been hero adjustments and the emergence of new heroes.

League of Legends doesn't require Zhou Tiankuo to worry about it at all.

He purchased the update assistant from the system store, and all he needs to do is update and maintain it according to the original schedule.

If any additional bugs cause player complaints, they will be promptly reported to Zhou Tiankuo.

He will handle it personally.

Having confirmed that there was nothing to worry about with League of Legends at the moment, Zhou Tiankuo turned his attention to Genshin Impact.

This game has been surprising him ever since it was first released.

Of course, it's in my role as a game designer.

Judging from the positive reviews and download numbers it received upon release, this game is indeed the type of game that players like.

Even today, Genshin Impact is trending again because of the VR game room set up in the experience center, where players can play a version with Easter eggs.

"Is there... some untapped potential in this game that I haven't discovered yet?"

Zhou Tiankuo frowned.

This is evident from the players' reactions.

He had been so busy working on other games that he had neglected Genshin Impact, which was the game he should have been maintaining and updating the most.

His starting point.

Zhou Tiankuo thought for a moment and then looked at the list of updated versions obtained from the system.

According to the assistant's update schedule, the next update version is 1.5.

This surprised Zhou Tiankuo.

Version 1.5 was also memorable for him because it introduced the homestead system.

Back when he was engrossed in other games in his dorm, his roommate was a devoted Genshin Impact player.

Ever since Genshin Impact launched, Zhou Tiankuo's roommates have been saying that if the game had a home system, they would definitely spend more time online every day.

This is a setting that many RPG games make.

Some games feature very elaborate and detailed home systems, even on the scale of farming games, where players can buy and decorate houses to create their own unique homes.

Some game home systems are very simple, just a place for players to AFK and rest, without much development of features such as buying houses and decorating.

Before the 1.5 update, Zhou Tiankuo's roommate kept saying that he finally had a home, etc.!

Zhou Tiankuo smiled slightly and opened the detailed update document for version 1.5.

In addition to the homestead system, version 1.5 also includes several other updates.

One is the relatively common new characters and rate-up banners, which are available with every version update.

There are also new weapons, artifacts, and new realms.

Of course, there will also be new bosses and new monsters.

But the most appealing aspect of this version is the homestead system.

Zhou Tiankuo looked at it carefully for a while before realizing that the homestead system wasn't particularly detailed in this version update.

It's basically just a basic addition: a homestead where you can rest and AFK, but it's still a bit rudimentary compared to players' expectations.

"Now that I'm going to experience VR, shouldn't this update be made even better?"

This is the only way to live up to the players' expectations.

Zhou Tiankuo quickly edited the document.

He watched the later updates and saw that the homestead system was constantly being updated and changed; eventually, it even allowed players to start farming.

However, Zhou Tiankuo believes that updating version after version really consumes a lot of popularity.

Loyal players can wait, but most players have limited patience.

This kind of incremental update feels like constantly promising big things, but only providing a tiny bit of the pie each time.

It is far from satisfying the players' desires.

Zhou Tiankuo planned to make a detailed update, setting it up according to his own ideas, even if it conflicted with the original game version.

Ultimately, he optimized the homestead system.

In addition to the most basic requirement of having a house for interior and exterior decoration, he also set up a yard.

You can farm and keep pets in the yard.

The overall design follows the format of farming games.

When Zhou Tiankuo was writing the document, he was using his Genshin Impact account.

Before you know it, a husky is lying down next to the game character.

Zhou Tiankuo had a sudden inspiration and added, "These cats and dogs should be able to be taken home and raised as pets as well."

Chapter 127 New Staff

Pet ownership is simple; you can bring home any cat or dog that's currently available in the city.

Zhou Tiankuo currently has no plans to specifically create any pets, nor does he intend for the monsters of Teyvat to be tamed...

That would require too much work in the early stages, and players might not even be willing to pay for it.

After writing "pet," Zhou Tiankuo put a checkmark next to it.

Farming is also very simple; as long as you have land and seeds, that's basically enough.

As for watering and fertilizing, you don't need to go to that extent, because this is not a farming game in essence.

The ingredients grown can be collected from the continent of Teyvat.

It's Teyvat!

When renovating a house, you can also open an online store where you can buy all kinds of building materials with gold coins.

As for furniture, you can open some extra shops, such as buying building materials and making it yourself.

These are all very basic.

However, the more customization options available, the more updates there will be, and the size of a game must also be considered.

Moreover, not all players are interested in the homestead system, and Zhou Tiankuo also had to consider whether adding too much content would cause other players to feel resentful.

For example, some people might say he's putting the cart before the horse...

Zhou Tiankuo typed on the keyboard as he pondered.

Finally, he stopped.

"Let's leave it at that for now."

After finishing the update document about the homestead system, Zhou Tiankuo stretched lazily.

This time, he mainly focused on the homestead system.

"This should be enough, right? As a version update, this content has already exceeded expectations..."

In Zhou Tiankuo's own opinion, it would be possible to complete the task using three version updates.

But now that I've got a new cooperation opportunity, I have to show my sincerity.

Therefore, in setting up the home system, in addition to the things in the documents he wrote, he also particularly emphasized the VR experience.

For example, in the homestead mode, players using VR devices to play games are still in first-person perspective and can wander around the homestead continuously.

Whether you're opening the door to enter the house or in the yard, you get a very real feeling.

Even walking the dog and petting the cat are done from a first-person perspective.

Zhou Tiankuo felt very happy when he thought about this!

He also loves pets, but since coming into this world, his wish to have a cat or dog has never been fulfilled.

Because as a game designer, the work is actually quite busy.

Zhou Tiankuo sighed.

He organized the documents and decided to use them as the basis for this version update.

Then I turned off the computer.

He had to continue working at the experience center the next day, so he couldn't stay out too late.

Fortunately, Xia Tian had already made arrangements for the stadium staff.
