Considered various weapons comprehensively.
If Pei Qian wants to change the attributes of the weapon, he still has to follow the basic attributes of the weapon itself as much as possible, and the changes must also conform to the appearance characteristics of the weapon.
Otherwise this game is poorly made.
Pei Qian glanced at the existing weapons.
I originally wanted to choose a one-handed sword, but then I thought about it. The one-handed sword is easy to use, but the attack power cannot be adjusted too high, and the attack distance is too short, which is more dangerous.
Finally, Pei Qian focused his eyes on the long weapons and saw a relatively unpopular weapon, a Zen staff.
Pei Qian searched for the ID of this weapon and found that it was originally an ordinary prop in a ruined temple.
After leaving the novice village and heading to a nearby town, this ruined temple is a scene that exists outside the town. There is a crazy old monk inside, which is considered a mini-boss.
After defeating this crazy old monk, this Zen staff will drop. There is also a treasure box in the ruined temple, and in the treasure box is a string of broken Buddhist beads.
The Buddhist beads are a special prop in the early stage, which can have a short-term control effect on monsters, and can have a resurrection effect every once in a while. It is considered a very important prop in the early stage.
The properties of the Zen staff are not very strong. It can be seen that the initial design is only as an ordinary collection weapon.
This is also normal. There are at least a dozen weapons in the game, and there will always be some that are easy to use and some that are not. It is difficult to achieve an excellent balance.
And this Zen stick belongs to the kind that is relatively rubbish and just a make-up.
“It’s up to you!”
Choose an unpopular weapon with a weak presence, and make the smallest changes to the game as much as possible, so that it is harder to be discovered.
Pei Qian did not change the properties of the existing props. Instead, he created another prop entry, copied the original Zen staff data into it intact, and then greatly increased the basic attack and upgrade. The final attack attribute.
Looked at the attack method of the Zen staff again.
The attack method is similar to what was expected. The normal attack is a sideways swing, which is relatively bulky and the attack is very slow. However, the jumping slash and sidestep slash are smashing to the ground, and the attack action will be much faster.
Then, Pei Qian had to arrange the specific method of obtaining this Zen staff.
Pei Qian does not intend to make it too complicated. If he wants to do a new scene or an overly complex task, it will have to be customized separately and the entire project team will have to work together.
So Pei Qian thought about it and used the existing mechanism to hide the weapon.
According to the original setting, this ruined temple is just a supplement to the town scene. Players can fight it or not. The strength of the crazy old monk inside is between the elite monster and the small boss.
If you knock it down, this Zen staff will drop, and at the same time, you can get a bunch of broken Buddhist beads in the treasure box as mission props.
Pei Qian slightlyChanged the settings of this old monk.
The first is to completely weaken the old monk's combat effectiveness and turn him into a monster that is weaker than ordinary monsters.
This change is reasonable from a plot perspective. After all, the old monk is so old, and the strength of the mini-boss is not suitable. He should be old and frail.
Any player who can reach here has gone through the bloody baptism of novice villages and towns. They must be naturally wary of similar NPCs and will definitely take action subconsciously.
Of course, even if the player does not take action, the old monk is still hostile and will actively attack the player.
If the player kills the old monk, he will get the ordinary version of the Zen staff and beads according to the original settings.
Because this prayer bead is very easy to use and the Zen staff is a special weapon, most people will kill the old monk and will not be aware of other tricks at all.
Pei Qian plans to add a setting to the old monk. As long as the player dies six times in the hands of the old monk, the old monk will become a friendly NPC when the player comes for the seventh time. No longer actively attacks players.
As for the setting, it is easy to explain. Because players died repeatedly, the old monk obtained a certain amount of three souls and seven souls from players who died repeatedly, so he regained some sanity.
Of course, players can still attack him, and killing him will still give him the same reward as before.
But if the player talks to the old monk at this time, the old monk will say a line to the effect that the end of the Dharma era is coming, Buddhism will be extinct, and there is no way out, but the power of the Buddha still remains. , as long as the protagonist can re-enter the six paths of reincarnation, he can escape from the sea of suffering.
At this time, a Buddha's light flashed on the old monk's body, and the Buddhist beads in the treasure box and the Zen staff in the old monk's hand would turn into a new weapon "Pudu", which was the new weapon that Pei Qian copied. arms.
Compared with ordinary Zen sticks, "Pudu" has not changed much, except that the head of the stick has a shining golden special effect, which is the Buddha's light.
After taking this weapon, players can not only improve their combat power, but also directly skip Naihe Bridge, Sansheng Stone and other scenes from Huangquan Road to the Six Paths of Reincarnation and get the ending of the reincarnation in advance.
According to the setting of the game, the ending of Six Paths of Reincarnation is a false ending.
There is an old man in the village at the beginning of the game. Players need to kill this old man before they can follow the guidance of his soul and embark on the road to hell. However, through some clues, such as the description of the dropped props, it can be determined that this old man is the player himself after reincarnation.
According to the settings, the image of this old man in the second game will change into the character image when the player clears the first game, including the same clothes, weapons, etc., but the person becomes thin and withered.
So, if you pass the level with "Pudu", what the old man will be holding will be "Pudu", but without the special effects, it will become an ordinary Zen.stick.
In addition, the weapon "Pudu" can only be used to clear the ending of six reincarnations. If you fight bosses in other endings, its output efficiency will decrease and become the same as an ordinary weapon.
And in the second round, this weapon cannot be upgraded.
Because Pei Qian’s goal is just to complete one of the endings as quickly as possible, it is enough for this weapon to complete its historical mission.
Pei Qian is not a masochist. He doesn’t want to play other endings, nor does he want to play multiple games.
Pei Qian worked hard all afternoon and finally completed these changes in a clumsy way.
These changes are actually not complicated, and they are not difficult to make using an editor. However, Pei Qian has not touched an editor for a long time, so it still took a little more time.
After making the changes, Pei Qian briefly checked it over.
There is no need to check too carefully. If there are any bugs, others will definitely correct them for Mr. Pei.
Pei Qian submitted all the changes and then found Li Yada.
“The game content has been slightly changed, and it will have little impact on the game itself. There is no need to pay too much attention to it, and there is no need to make it public.”
These changes will definitely be discovered by the design team. As Li Yada, The main planner can't be so stupid that he can't even see that there is an extra weapon in the prop list.
Since he can definitely see it, Pei Qian might as well tell them openly.
Moreover, if Mr. Pei requested it, the design team would definitely help Mr. Pei keep it secret.
