Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 75 75. I’m just a machine guy

"President, Miss Katayama from "Golettsu" is here." Ayase Akane reminded.

Only then did Qing Zhiyuan look up from Famiton's magazine.

"Okay, invite them to come to my office."

…

This is Reiko Katayama’s second visit to pokeni Co., Ltd.

Compared to the first time she came here, it was obviously a lot more lively.

The original P club only had about 20 people, but now it has expanded to more than 30, and there is a trend of gradually increasing.

Katayama has very sharp eyes. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the artist in the distance drawing some characters with obvious Western fantasy characteristics.

The shape is not only exaggerated, but also very powerful.

It’s just that Katayama doesn’t know which pokeni project this is.

It can be thought that P Club is mainly about galgame, and she can't help but be a little stunned.

Can such a demonic figure also become a girl to be captured?

No, not necessarily.

After all, the heroine of "Mermaid Heart" is also a non-human being.

To be precise, starting from Onmyoji, none of the pokeni heroines are purely human, right?

Now that P Company can produce a heroine with Western magical characteristics, she is no longer surprised.

Just as he was thinking this, Katayama and the photographer he brought were invited into the president's office.

Her main purpose this time was to collect some exclusive information about "Mermaid Heart".

After some pleasantries, Katayama Reiko asked about some production details of "Mermaid Heart".

…

We chatted for about an hour.

"Hey, it's really surprising that you can come up with such a story."

At the same time, Katayama couldn't help but sigh, Furuhara Chunqiu and Urobuchi Gen are simply two lunatics.

It can actually combine weird elements with love.

Is this beyond the scope of what the human brain can think about?

"Katama-san, I have a little suggestion." Qing Zhiyuan said seriously.

"If possible, could your company provide some other thoughts when reporting on "Mermaid Heart"?"

"Um?"

…

After Qing Zhiyuan's explanation, she finally had a deeper understanding of "Mermaid Heart".

This is not just a galgame, but also contains many human and social aspects.

It's just that the plot is too impactful and the cross-race love story is so eye-catching that other magazines have ignored it.

Qing Zhiyuan can point it out, which is obviously his intention to make a small fuss about "Guo Letong".

She was very grateful for this.

Katayama Reiko nodded, she already knew how to write this report.

"By the way, President Qing, does your company have any other game plans?"

Katayama Reiko raised her hands and clasped her hands together, "I'm sorry, please forgive me. To be honest, when I came in just now, I saw some very interesting paintings with obvious Western style.

I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to see it. "

Katayama closed his eyes, bowed slightly, and made a "I'm really sorry" gesture.

"Well, we are already working on this."

Qing Zhiyuan put his hands on his chest and showed a charming and handsome smile. The photographer next to him quickly took a photo.

It's also interesting to say that at the beginning of the year, when "Guole Game Newsletter" published its weekly magazine on January 3, the sales volume of this magazine suddenly increased by 5%.

Later, the magazine investigated and found that a large number of female high school students purchased it.

The reason for buying it was actually because of the beautiful cover.

On the cover of that issue, there was not a game advertisement, but a photo of President Qing.

Qing Zhiyuan is very satisfied with their business.

In this era when traffic florets have not yet become the mainstream of advertising, he himself is the spokesperson.

In the future, there will be a man named Chen Ou who will use "I bring salt for myself" as a gimmick, and Qing Zhiyuan thinks he can do it too.

Not only can you attract fans, but you can also save money.

"We are developing a Western fantasy-themed game."

Hearing the exact answer from Qing Zhiyuan, Katayama Reiko couldn't help but her eyes lit up.

"Huh? What kind of game is that? I'm very curious."

"A landmark game." Qing Zhiyuan said bluntly, "This game, let's call it [Demon X], is definitely an unprecedented legendary game.

It will redefine ARPG. "

"ARPG?"

Katayama Reiko was amused by the pure idealist expression on Qing Zhiyuan's face.

President Qing is really very conceited.

Even before the game is released, you can clearly say that this is a [legendary work]

"Yes." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "Not only its gameplay, but also its complexity, especially the numerical formula, can be said to become a textbook for the entire gaming industry. In the future, the numerical architecture of many games will be based on Demon X. Expand.”

"Diablo" can be said to be a treasure book for gamers, something that every game maker who enters the industry must understand. Qing Zhiyuan can be said to have been playing it for decades, and he is still enjoying it at 21 years old.

"How to say it?" Katayama Reiko didn't quite understand.

"[Demon

For example, the damage calculation is very complicated: (Basic damage Non-weapon ED value/100+skill ED value%/100)) + (1-skill damage penalty/100) Blocking, defense... these are used to reduce damage. The damage cannot be completely 0. At the same time, many attributes will not be particularly abnormal no matter how they are stacked.

The advantage of this numerical system is that all your attributes are useful, but there are differences in value based on the weight ratio. Some attributes will be more valuable...

It can be said to be the originator of ARPG, and it is also a model for future RPG games. As long as combat is involved, it is difficult to bypass Diablo's numerical system design.

In a way, it's simply beautiful. "

To be precise, before Diablo, almost all game combat was based on the subtractive formula.

For example, the simplest attack and defense blood, the damage caused to the enemy is equal to your attack minus the opponent's defense, and then the deducted blood is calculated.

Simple and crude, but it also brings many problems——

Diminishing marginal effects are a very serious problem.

Once your defense stack exceeds the opponent's attack, the attack will be ineffective, and the space for expansion in the value is very limited.

But there is no such problem with the multiplication formula.

Qing Zhiyuan gestured with his hands in the air. Although there were a bunch of numerical formulas in front of him, it seemed that these things were more attractive than women.

Katayama Reiko was stunned when she heard this, and she had the illusion that her head exploded during a high school math class.

What Qing Zhiyuan said was too professional.

If there is anything imperfect about it... it's probably because the creators didn't expect players to use bugs to block BOSS at the beginning, leading to over-leveling monsters and overflowing experience.

Qing Zhiyuan touched his chin and thought carefully, so Blizzard later added a level limit to the experience formula. Only within a certain absolute level range can normal experience be obtained, otherwise it will be attenuated according to the level difference.

This is a piecewise function.

It was manually corrected after data verification, so its mathematical structure is not so perfect.

But when making pokeni, various issues will definitely be considered from the beginning.

It is called "Diablo" 1, but it has actually been iterated many times in Qing Zhiyuan's brain.

"..."

Katayama Reiko looked confused and felt lonely after hearing this.

"In short, this game is definitely an epoch-making product in terms of numerical design. The complexity and changeability of combat is also a very important feature of the game. We are very confident in making Demon X a world-class game." Qingzhi The source summarizes.

"Okay, President Qing, that's it for today's interview. Thank you for taking your precious time out of your busy schedule."

…

When taking the elevator downstairs, Katayama Reiko asked the photographer, "Can you understand what President Ao just said?"

"I...?" The photographer looked at her in confusion, "I'm just a machine guy, you ask me?"
