Play Game of Life

Li Rushan patted his chest to take over the task of choosing a film and television city.

But everyone also knows that Li Rushan's capture is equivalent to Qin Shang's capture, anyway, it is Qin Shang who will run around in the end...

After having a new goal, Li Rushan really swept away the haze of the past, and temporarily stopped worrying about the follow-up income of "Unique Martial Arts", but sorted out his mood, and devoted all his enthusiasm to this new project with "good prospects" .

While the 404 Studio started to get busy again and started preparing for new projects, the outside world's enthusiasm for "Lonely Martial Arts" continued to ferment.

One of the most important sources of popularity is: Speedrunners!

...

At 9 o'clock in the evening, in Ye Luo's live broadcast room.

After checking all the detailed settings of the live broadcast room and the game, Ye Luo officially entered the game of "Double Martial Arts".

"Okay, Korrun!"

Sutong, known as speedrun abroad, literally translates to speed running, so it is also called "run" (the homonym of run) by domestic players.

The speed pass game has a long history. As early as the PC and console game era, countless players were exploring the limit of the fastest pass. Up to now, there have been very mature speedrunning communities and speedrunning rules on the Internet.

Previously, "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats" and "Walk with Darkness" were both popular games in the Speedrunning community.

Countless players spend a lot of time on these games every day, just to break through the one or two seconds of the limit record time.

Ordinary players are also excited about the birth of the new record.

There are still many fans squatting in the live broadcast rooms of the major speedrunners, wanting to share this record-breaking happiness for the first time.

Since the release of "Dippo Wulin", Ye Luo, a professional speedrunner, has gradually changed his evaluation of it.

When opening up wasteland in Zhoumu, Ye Luo's live broadcast style was like this.

"Hey, this boss can still fight like this?"

"This teaching mechanism is too awesome! I must give it a point for this game!"

"Feng Shu's character is really well portrayed, one more point."

"This kind of fist-to-body combat is really exciting. I feel that this combat system has established the best standard for VR action games. One more point!"

"The scene in the last scene is too beautiful, and the final battle with Feng Shu is also hearty, one more point!"

"Huh? There is another ending in the movie? There is also a martial arts ending in the game? Awesome, add two points!"

In this way, the game that was directly given a full score of 10 at the beginning was actually added to more than 30 points.

But as Ye Luo began to formally challenge the speedrunning of this game, the style of the live broadcast changed quickly.

"Fuck me? Why did this boss suddenly change his tricks and catch me?"

"Damn! Why didn't this chair hit him!"

"Why is this little monster disobedient! You shouldn't be in this place!"

"This game is crazy! Scumbag!"

The audience in the live broadcast room watched the anchor repeatedly break the defense, and they were also laughing, and various 2333 barrages floated by from time to time.

This is the core fun of speedrunning.

However, although Ye Luo couldn't help but lose his mind when speedrunning, since he decided to run this game, it showed that this game has unique features in speedrunning.

Speedrunning, although it is jokingly called "going to jail", is a very tortured gameplay, but it can still bring happiness to players.

It's just that this kind of happiness, except for speedrunners, ordinary people can't experience it.

The joy of speedrunning players lies in the fact that by studying the game mechanism, studying the boss's fixed style of play, reducing mistakes, and pursuing the limit of operation, so as to set the record for the fastest clearance and achieve the strongest directness.

But this kind of happiness itself also needs the support of game mechanics.

If a game itself is not rich in mechanics and fun enough, then speedrunning is likely to become a boring and fun-free prison, and most speedrunners will not play it.

And the game "Unique Martial Arts" is just very suitable for speedrunning.

First of all, its difficulty is high enough. The VR game with consciousness connection and the rich changes brought about by high-intensity AI make ordinary players daunted by difficult challenges, and at the same time make those real top players have a strong desire to conquer.

Secondly, its scene flow setting is very reasonable, the difficulty of each level increases steadily in a step-like manner, and each boss also has its own characteristics. Speedrunners can pick out a lot of details when planning the process, and route process optimization itself is one of the main pleasures of speedrunning.

Finally, its speedrunning time is more appropriate. If it is a regular ending, it can be finished in about an hour, while the Wude ending is a little longer, about two hours. Of course, this is the time for speedrunning. If the player plays normally, the clearance time will be much higher than this.

And this time is just right for speed pass.

If the speed pass time is less than an hour, the time is a bit short, and it is not easy to distinguish the level between players. If it is more than two hours, it is too long, and many speedrunners will find it too tortured.

In short, these advantages, coupled with the original gameplay advantages of "Dippo Martial Arts", have successfully spread its popularity from the ordinary player group to the speedrunner group.

After that, the popularity of Speedrunning players, in turn, affected the popularity of ordinary players!

With the continuous exploration of speedrunners, there have been at least two far-reaching effects.

The first is the emergence of various regular and evil ways of playing.

Speedrunners are the top group of people in the game. They have high talents, good skills, the best understanding of game mechanics, and spend the most time. In order to be able to speedrun, they will continue to explore stable and fast style of play.

These styles of play are the so-called "fixed fan" in the speedrunning process, and these styles of play spread quickly. Ordinary players found that they can also beat the boss with this style of play, so "Unique Martial Arts" is launched!

The second is the increase in the popularity of live broadcasts.

The speedrunning players broadcast live in the live broadcast room every day, and the timing software on the screen can clearly show whether the current link is fast or slow, and the audience can also feel the excitement of this speedrunning together.

Of course, the ornamental value of speedrun itself is actually worse than that of Zhoumu. Because speedrunning is too easy to fail, a small mistake will delete the file and start from scratch. For the audience, the perception is not very good.

Every time I click into the live broadcast room, I see the anchor wandering around the first level, and many viewers will feel bored.

But there are indeed many viewers who like to watch speedrunning. They may hang up the live broadcast room when they have nothing to do, and do other things.

There are also many such audience groups, especially when the top speedrunners are racing against time to break the record, the popularity of the live broadcast room will skyrocket.

Today you broke me for one second, tomorrow I will break for two seconds!

Even some foreign players have joined the speedrunning of this game.

Although there is no multilingual version of "Dippo Martial Arts" at present, this does not stop the enthusiasm of foreign players. While urging the official release of a multilingual version, they use simple computer translations to fight hard against incomprehensible plots.

Fortunately, the teaching part of "Unique Martial Arts" itself is done well enough, and if you don't understand the plot, it will not affect the battle.

With the addition of foreign speedrunners, these domestic speedrunners also began to feel the pressure.

The speedrunning battle between Chinese and foreigners also made the audience very excited. Every day, they had to check the list or go to the live broadcast room to watch, and the speedrunning record was improved by a few seconds.

In this way, when the popularity of "Diplo Martial Arts" seems to be about to drop, new hot spots will continue to live. It has been on sale for so long, and the popularity is still slowly rising!
