[Update: Tested the weather system, added "Snow". ]
[Announcement: There will be light snow in the wasteland today. Devs kindly remind all players to remember to put on more clothes lest players catch a cold. ]
Comment area below the announcement:
"A new announcement again?!"
"Welp, I thought it was a new update."
"Devs said it was an update, but I see no update. You can test snowfall today, and then test the rain tomorrow. Are you trying to pass the KPI assessment or what? (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) "
"Where is the game company located? It's still 20 degrees here! It's too early to have snow."
"Snow is actually not that cold. I once drove 50 kilometers up the mountain to see the snow in the winter at minus 30 degrees. I only wore a down jacket to keep out the cold. When I came back, not only didn't I get frostbite, but I was also sweating."
"That happened. (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) "
Chu Guang glanced at the messages under the announcement and found that there was no particularly serious reply, so he closed the announcement page and opened the forum.
As expected.
The forum was very lively at this moment, it almost became a continuation of the market in the outpost.
Twenty newcomers who had just entered the game almost rushed to the official website the moment they were offline to express their game experience on the forum.
Rich_elve_king: "As the new player that entered the game the first day, I won't say much, but that graphic, that special effects, that lighting effects, it just blows my mind!"
This_lord_is_arrogant_what_can_you_do: "Here's another shill paid by this company, please don't be fooled! Again, there is no such game, there is no such thing."
Rich_elve_king: "You are so annoying. Calling people shill just because you don't agree with their opinion. (Rolling eyes)"
WC_really_has_mosquitoes: "You are a newcomer so you don't know. This guy was muted in our group for cursing mods, then he left the group. After that, he came to the forum to show his sense of existence. Just treat him as a troll. (Grin)"
Rich_elve_king: "0.0"
Garbage_pickup_level_99: "Damn it! Does anyone care about the human rights of the Lizardmen? When I was about to go offline, I felt like my back was freezing cold. TT"
Hold_the_sword_execution: "You are not a human, you are just a lizard. (smirk)"
Ample Time: "It's normal, lizards are cold-blooded animals. Don't panic, when summer comes, it will be your strong period!"
Garbage_pickup_level_99: "%￥&@!"
In addition to the players who shared their game experiences, there were also many enthusiastic players who helped him with his ideas.
Every time Chu Guang read these posts, he had a feeling of reviewing memorials like a king.
The_Escaping_Mole: "It is recommended that the development team should consider delimiting a trading area in the game. Most games have functions such as consignment sales and stall setting. Even if NPCs cannot be hired to watch the stall for the time being, at least there should be a shelf with a consignment sale function, right? This will be more efficient than everyone huddling together to sell, after all, there's only a little transaction time before going offline!"
Light: "This proposal is really good. I will propose at the next regular meeting of the planning department to plan a market area in the game for players to trade freely, and at the same time, set up rentable lockers in the buffer zone of the shelter for players to keep the products they want to sell."
The_Escaping_Mole: "That's great!╰(*°▽°*)╯"
Night Ten: "It feels like the game lobby. How about creating a commission board as well, allowing players to give missions to players as well. (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) "
Light: "No rush, the test of each system needs to be done step by step. With the enrichment of the game content in the future, we will consider setting up a player commission panel."
At this stage, there were little tasks for players to do, and few players.
In the future, when there were more things that players could do, larger space for player activities, and richer game content, he would consider opening up this feature.
Through the players' commission function, Chu Guang would also be able to understand what these players were doing outside and supervise more conveniently.
Night Ten: "Holy shit? Brother Light has replied to me!"
Light: "……"
I've done it many times before, right?
Lightning_empeor_professor_yang: "The game designer is here? Great. I would also like to make a suggestion. The price of food is too unreasonable. It costs 1 silver coin for 200g of air-dried meat! The price is the same as 300g of raw meat! Isn't it really unreasonable? It is recommended to adjust the price for 150g air-dried meat and 350g raw meat!"
Light: "From the settings' point of view, there is no fixed price in the game, and the transaction price is affected by many factors. In addition, the NPC warehouse is only set as a reserve material, and the price is more subject to strategic fluctuations, affected by the relationship between supply and demand."
Light: "Wasteland Online encourages transactions between players. The price you trade with other players is the 'market price' that truly reflects the relationship between supply and demand."
Lightning_empeor_professor_yang: "What if I hoard goods? For example, buy out all the food!"
Night Ten: "Damn, brother, how much money do you have? I can't even afford a gun!"
Light: "I don't know, maybe you can try it out?"
Light: "We are also very curious about what measures an NPC with full intelligence and account handling authority will take to maintain order in the game, and this will provide valuable experience for the internal and public beta."
Irene: "Hoarder disclosing his plan in the public, are you courting death? (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) "
Night Ten: "Brother, listen to me, you should buy it secretly, and hide it in the rented locker while the NPC is not paying attention. Then wait for everyone to be hungry and open it. It will shock everyone. (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) "
Makka_Pakka: "Hahahaha, this is a hoarding expert right here."
Lightning_empeor_professor_yang: "Uh, I haven't gotten the qualification for the test. I will try it when I get the qualification for the test. (Embarrassed)"
Uh, it turned out to be not an alpha tester.
No wonder this guy would ask such a dumb question.
Light: "...Then wait until you get it."
The players were not discouraged even if they didn't get it. There would be a little more places in the open beta. The content would be richer than the closed alpha, and the rules would be more complete.
Their imagination might not be useful now, but it would definitely be useful in the future.
Lightning_empeor_professor_yang: "I have a hunch that I will be selected in the next round of invitations. TT"
So optimistic?
Light: "You can do it."
Like yesterday, Chu Guang collected some useful suggestions and posted them on the document.
For example, some players suggested that "the transaction should be taxed, not taxing is unrealistic." Chu Guang admitted that this was indeed his negligence, but it was too early to tax players at the moment.
What was the use of having so much money? It would only delay the development.
So far, his game currency has only been issued about 1,200, and the consumed inventory was less than one-fortieth, not to mention that the merchant surnamed Sun would send him another batch after two days.
There can be tax collection.
Part of the currency should be recovered in the circulation link, and the income of *life professions players should be limited within a reasonable range so as to avoid in-game inflation caused by the overflow of the player's purchasing power.
But he had to wait for the players to save enough money, have all the equipment, open the shop, and have enough money for him to snowball the tax.
While Chu Guang was browsing the forum, Xia Yan, who was sitting in the corner memorising the lines that Chu Guang gave her, couldn't help but glance at him.
Not because of his special attraction, but because this man always made her feel a little uneasy.
He had been staring at the screen "smirking" for an hour, and she didn't know what evil thoughts he was planning.
Thinking that she was in the same room with the devil, Xia Yan decided to say something to divert his attention, lest he would think about doing something to her.
"…… What are you looking at?"
Chu Guang replied casually, without turning his head.
"Not your business."
Xia Yan was quiet for a while, then continued.
"…… Can I ask you a question?"
Chu Guang: "Shoot."
Xia Yan wondered: "Why do you have to go out? I mean, the shelter is so safe, why go to the ground to build that kind of fence? Isn't it good to stay underground?"
Chu Guang: "To survive."
Xia Yan: "Is there no way to survive here? There is clean air in the shelter, which is not only rain-proof, but also warm and safe.. Speaking of which, where is your water purifier? Why have I never seen one? There should also be a soilless cultivation room. I heard that there should be all these things in the shelter."
Chu Guang felt very embarrassed.
He didn't know how to answer this question. He couldn't say that although he was the administrator here, he hasn't obtained all the permissions of this shelter yet, right?
This sounds too ridiculous.
Chu Guang closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said.
"Maybe you are right. It is indeed a good choice to hide underground. What matters on the surface has nothing to do with us, and it was not that we made it like this. Even if there is another nuclear war, we can still survive steadily underground."
Xia Yan: "Then why—"
Chu Guang looked at her.
"But maybe, some shelters are destined to be different from other shelters. People born in the shelter are not born to escape, but to create and change."
Abandoning this thought-provoking sentence, Chu Guang ignored her and continued to browse his forum.
It was much better to chat with his players.
All of them were talented, and they would speak to him nicely. More importantly, they have tons of ideas. They wanted to improve his ‘game' more than he did.
Honestly.
Chu Guang would feel sorry if he did not listen to them.
[... is there any creature in this world that is more suitable to be exploited than players?]
Chu Guang finally realized why the first administrator wrote that sentence on the slip of paper.
The last words that Chu Guang said echoed in Xia Yan's ears. Sitting against the wall, she fell into a daze.
She felt like...
The figure of this man grew taller in her mind in an instant.
But this feeling stayed in her heart for less than two seconds, and disappeared as her eyes fell on the notebook in her hand.
This guy was undoubtedly a demon, he actually asked her to memorize something so difficult to understand.
Not only for himself, but for his companions, he was also merciless.
Not only did he drive them to engage in heavy manual labor, but he also commanded them to go out hunting, charge into battle as cannon fodder, and fooled them with some useless metal pieces.
For a moment she actually thought that he was a good person. It must be because this guy was subtly brainwashing her!
Brain, brainwash...
Thinking of the legends and anecdotes circulating in Boulder City, Xia Yan couldn't help but shudder, shrinking her shoulders and looking at Chu Guang's back with more fear and dread.
Playing with people's minds to such a level of proficiency.
This man is...
Unfathomable!
* players who produced or processed things essential to daily life, e.g. chefs, tailors, farmers, and fishers...................................................................................................................................
