"Alpha 0.9 version developer log"
Xiaoqi: "Hello everyone, I am the dearest assistant of your dearest planner A Guang! Since Xi La Ou led the overtime work, which aroused the collective anger of the development department, planning department, and art department, we decided to put him in a can of starfish and sell him to the mutant tribe... In any case, we finally got Alpha 0.9 version, and the significance of this update is very significant. Since A Guang is still working overtime, this time I am entrusted to talk to you about the design ideas and gameplay of the new version!"
"First of all, the biggest change of Alpha 0.9 version compared to version 0.8 is that we have added a career system and skill proficiency settings to "Wasteland OL."
"To be honest, we were very hesitant when making this decision. After all, what we originally wanted to do was a sandbox game that focused on leisure and entertainment with freedom and virtual community as the selling point, and we didn't even plan to develop the character interface. The concept of career seems to run counter to this."
"However, as the game content continues to enrich and players are increasingly involved in the affairs of the open world, our NPCs are gradually falling into a dilemma, that is, there are limited things that can be done, and how to allocate limited opportunities to those who need it more."
"Zhang San likes fishing, Li Si likes farming, and we have a hoe and a fishing rod in our hands. Ideally, the fishing rod should be given to Zhang San and the hoe to Li Si. But now the number of players has risen to 800. If we use a designated method to decide who will do the task, it is unfair, so we need to set a standard!"
"And the career system and skill proficiency are born for this!"
"Take logging as an example. When a player carries a VM to chop trees or completes a logging task, the proficiency of the logging skill will automatically accumulate. When the upper limit is reached, the skill level will be increased, with the lowest level being 0 and the highest level being 10. This level is unrelated to the gene sequence level, and the level of each skill is calculated independently. Although the skill level increase does not bring you an intuitive work efficiency bonus, it can unlock more tasks related to the skill with higher benefits, and even unlock exclusive titles such as Ace Lumberjack or Forest Destroyer!"
"In addition to logging, the skills that can improve proficiency also include firearms, throwing, archery, fighting, medical treatment, scavenging, slaughtering, cooking, construction, tailoring, metallurgy, manufacturing, planting, mining, etc. ... More than 40 kinds, please explore for more details!"
"Compared to the skill proficiency system, the 'profession system' is more like a symbol of identity or a title."
"For example, after you become a scavenger under the warehouse manager 'Guo Niu', you will accumulate scavenging skills faster, and you will be entrusted with important tasks in scavenging work, receive the exclusive scavenger profession, and become a 'scavenger master' or even a 'garbage king' after meeting the conditions!"
"You can become a farmer or a butcher under the granary manager 'Guo Ma', unlock more seeds or receive more slaughtering orders."
"In addition, some professions have certain skill proficiency thresholds. For example, if you want to become a hunter and hunt more worthy targets, you must meet any of the three skills of firearms, throwing, and archery to level 3, or pay 10 silver coins to start the hunting skill assessment."
"Similar professions include soldiers, architects, prospectors, etc. Mercenaries, adventurers, engineers and other professions will be opened in the future. Please pay attention to the official website for more content!"
"New players can only register for one profession. As the status level increases, the number of professions that can be registered will also increase. For example, citizens can register for two professions, middle citizens can register for three, and so on. Registered professions can be cancelled at any time, but the achievements and titles related to the profession will also be cleared, please choose carefully! "
"In addition, we will solve the photo-taking problem in the next version, allowing players to record beautiful moments with the camera."
"If the next version is not solved, the next version will definitely be!"
...
Less than a minute after the update announcement and development log were issued, hundreds of comments under the post were refreshed at the speed of light.
However, the reason why the players were excited was not because of the newly launched profession system.
It can even be said that it has nothing to do with the content of this major update.
Shadow Moon Canfeng: "White hair! It's white hair! White hair control ecstasy! (broken voice)"
This kid is really scary: "Too bitter, too bitter!"
Irena: "No one calls wife? Then I'll call it. (Funny)"
Quit smoking: "The planning father is awesome! (broken voice)"
Tail: "prprpr"
Sis: "Huh! This guy! No, this tail! "
Canyon Fleeing Mole: "Tsk tsk, you LSPs, no one cares about the updated career system and skill proficiency? Such an important thing, what's the topic! Why is it all about an NPC! (Knocks on the table)"
Fang Chang: "Sorry, this planner is too good. (Nosebleed)"
Ye Shi: "+1, Mole brother gkd! (Funny)"
Canyon Fleeing Mole: "Gah! How come even a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Fang Chang, has changed sides! "
The post was bustling.
The forum outside the post was the same.
The official website has been completely overwhelmed by these cloud players, silly netizens and people who just want to have fun.
Especially this Alpha0.9 version, the number of players has directly increased from 500 to 800!
This time, 300 test places were released at once, which made all the newbies who had just left Africa and entered Europe excited.
What does it mean that there are more than 200 acceptance speeches on the forum at the same time?
Not to mention that there are tens of thousands of people who are eating lemons and tens of thousands of people who are eating melons.
At the most exaggerated time, the posts were almost refreshed at a speed of 5 meters per second. The posts that had just been sent out were like stones thrown into the river, sinking directly to the second page.
Refresh it again, and it can't be found at all.
It didn't squeeze the server to collapse. It seems that this operator has also spent a lot of money!
After reading the announcement, Lao Bai glanced at the number of reservations.
Wow, it was 23333 a few minutes ago, and in the blink of an eye, it jumped to 27777, heading straight for the 30,000 mark!
Are all these people so fast at solving problems? !
…
Niuma Club Group.
No one discussed the new version on the official website, so everyone could only go to their own small groups to discuss it.
WC is really a mosquito: "It feels good! My contribution points are just enough for 10,000, and I can directly ascend to the top of the world! (grin)"
Kuangfeng: "I'm 12,000, it turns out that accumulating contribution is still useful."
Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: "Fuck, I'm still 2,000 short, how did you guys brush it? How come it's so fast!"
Quit Smoking: "That's right! I just became a citizen, you guys are too exaggerated! QAQ"
Ye Shi: "Great, I can buy land again! (Funny)"
Citizen level requires 2000 contribution points, and the middle citizen level is almost five times higher.
However, this does not mean that the difficulty of upgrading from citizen to middle citizen is also five times, after all, as the level increases, the income of the task also increases synchronously.
If you work hard, you can reach it in about a month, and if you are more casual, two or three months will be enough. The daily activeness is guaranteed to be 120 points a day, not to mention that after LV5, many tasks are directly upgraded to 200~500 points. As long as the equipment and level are up, the contribution is still brushed quite quickly.
For example, the group owner and dog managers have been brushing the greenhouse ruins recently. The silver coin and contribution income are basically four digits, and the contribution will be slightly higher. The average daily income can reach up to 600 tributes, and the lowest is about 400 tributes.
Some life professional players are similar, such as Mosquito. The warehouse has long-term orders for making nitrocellulose, and this demand has been strong for a long time.
Especially after the regional reputation system was updated in version 0.8, the material donation function was opened, and life players have another way to make contributions.
As long as you donate strategic materials, you can not only gain the regional reputation of the "capital", but also obtain some general contribution points of your faction!
Ten thousand contribution points are really not a lot.
The topic quickly changed to the newly added career system and skill proficiency system.
Fang Chang: "I just logged into the game, and my archery skill proficiency is actually 4."
Lao Bai: "It seems that the previous proficiency is also counted."
Fang Chang: "To be precise, it should be the proficiency accumulated after getting the VM. It is bold to guess that maybe our current proficiency level is designed based on those behavioral data."
Ye Shi: "It is confirmed that the administrator collects our personal information through the VM. (Funny)"
Kuangfeng: "By the way, Fang Chang, what profession are you going to bring?"
Fang Chang: "A medium-sized citizen can bring three. For me, it is tentatively decided to be a hunter, a soldier, and a prospector. "
Kuangfeng: "No scavenger?"
Fang Chang: "There are not enough slots, no choice. I must bring a hunter, a money-making artifact, just for the hunting income bonus. Soldiers are not worth mentioning, probably the son of the version, didn't they update the bone-chewing tribe recently? There must be a chance to use it. Is there any need to talk about the prospector? The ruins of the ecological laboratory is probably also a high-yield base."
Quitting smoking: "Boss! What profession is good for a newcomer? QAQ"
Fang Chang: "You are a physical system, right? If you are a strength system, you can first hang a lumberjack to brush up the strength attribute. For physical and perception, hang a scavenger, this profession is a panacea. After upgrading to a citizen, you can bring a hunter or a soldier, depending on how you plan to play this version."
Ye Shi: "Garbage scavengers are always gods! I don't care, anyway, I want to bring garbage scavengers. (Funny)"
Garbage Picker Level 99: "Who's calling me???"
Ye Shi: "Hey! You're still in the group."
Garbage Picker Level 99: "Fuck! Look, are you talking like a human being?"
Since the last battle, this lizard guy has been "hibernating" and hasn't been in the group much recently.
It's been a long time since we last met, and Ye Shi actually feels a sense of familiarity.
Kuangfeng: "By the way, have you guys been to the new map?"
Fang Chang: "I'm planning to go, do you want to join me?"
Kuangfeng: "Let's go!"
Laobai: "Huh? Don't you have class later?"
Kuangfeng: "I don't have class this morning, I can play until 12 o'clock and log off."
Yeshi: "What a coincidence, I don't have class today, I can reward myself for the whole day. (Funny)"
Laobai: "You should take it easy, don't play games every day, if you don't have a girlfriend in college, you will be cheated in society."
Yeshi: "Haha, why bother to date someone, is it because eating or playing games is not interesting? The three-dimensional world is just a shit, you guys go and play, I have enough small fish. (Funny)"
Kuangfeng: "This sentence is enough to sentence you."
Ye Shi: "Say, don't bother me all the time. When I go to the cafeteria, I occasionally run into a school girl who asks me for WeChat. What do you think? She's almost 30 years old. She goes online to play games on time every day. She's so self-disciplined that she doesn't have a sex life. Is it appropriate to lie down like this?"
Fang Chang: "Tsk, kick this person out."
Kuang Feng: "+1. It's not that I don't want to. I just find it boring and uninteresting."
Lao Bai: "Let me start a voting post."
[Group owner initiates a vote: Should I kick out the shit? 1. Yes, 2. Agree]
Ye Shi: "Fuck! Where's friendship? And why are both options to kick me out!"
Garbage Picker Level 99: "Hahahaha, who asked you to attract hatred? You deserve it!"
We are all old friends. It's just a joke, so it's impossible to kick her out.
The group owner had something to do during the day, so he didn't go online.
Fang Chang, Kuang Feng, and Ye Shi had breakfast, agreed to put on their helmets again, and soon returned to the line.
I thought there would be a lot of people queuing in front of the elevator tower on the B2 floor, but when they arrived at the lobby, they found that there were not as many people as they imagined.
After a closer look, wow, there was actually an updated safety passage next to the elevator tower!
Was it a wall before?
It seems that the operator has also realized the problem of insufficient elevator capacity in the shelter.
With the opening of the B3 floor, players who don't want to wait for the elevator can now move between the open floors by stairs.
It would be great if the elevator outside could also be upgraded!
Came to the B3 floor.
Fang Chang looked around, touched his chin and thought for a moment, and gave his own evaluation.
"The layout here looks very similar to the B2 floor."
Ye Shi also said.
"It can't be said to be very similar, it's exactly the same."
Kuangfeng looked at the wall on the side, where a plan structure diagram was reflected.
"There are still some differences. Look at the corridor between Area A and Area B. At the end of the corridor in Area B2 is a locked warehouse. In the same position on the B3 floor, the space is obviously several times larger, and there are several more explorable areas."
"Well, I noticed it just now," Fang Chang nodded, "It seems that the core area of the new floor is there... Anyway, let's go and take a look."
As he said, Fang Chang walked in front and led the two to explore the direction of the corridor.
After passing through Area A and Area B, the first thing they passed was a white room.
Judging from the operating table-like recliner in the middle of the room, as well as the layout and decoration in the room, this seems to be a medical room or a similar place.
When the three stood at the door, there was already a female player with short hair and a high ponytail inside.
Looking around, Sis said in surprise.
"It's actually a medical office, and it feels like a medical laboratory... By the way, can't the door inside be opened?"
Tail: "Huh? How does Sisi know so much? Is it because you go there often?"
Sisi glanced at Tail: "That's right, but I'm going to treat patients."
Although it's a pathology department with a relatively low presence, and it comes into contact with more formalin than living people every day, it can barely be considered as treating patients, right?
Tail: "Doctor! I'm sick, take care of me!"
Sisi stretched out his hands listlessly and made a ghost-grabbing gesture.
"I'm looking at the brain, I have to cut it open to see."
Tail: "!∑(Дノ)ノ"
Sisi: "Hey, how did you send emoticons in the game?"
Looking at the two people behind the glass wall, the three gentlemen were silent for a while and unanimously decided not to disturb them.
Fang Chang: "Let's go to another place to visit."
Ye Shi: "I agree."
Kuang Feng didn't say anything, but nodded.
The three continued to move forward, and then passed by a planting area full of science fiction.
There was not a grain of soil in the entire planting area, only planting units shaped like fish tanks, which seemed to be the name according to the settings on the official website.
Kuang Feng took a look at the VM and was surprised to find that the name of each facility and the introduction of the facility function were updated on the small map.
It seems that this Alpha 0.9 version update is far more than just the career system, and it also secretly changes some of the settings in the game.
Not bad.
Finally, I don't have to rely on my imagination!
"From the map on the VM, this seems to be a planting area... The theoretical planting area is 50 acres."
"Is there 50 acres here?"
"There are 50 three-dimensional planting units like shelves. I guess it means that each three-dimensional planting unit is equivalent to one acre of land."
Speaking of which, there are already greenhouse ruins. Is there any need for such facilities to exist?
Or is there a seed bank here, storing seeds of pre-war crops?
Fang Chang thought to himself.
Not far away, Makabazi was holding a three-dimensional planting unit, excited and incoherent, and I don't know what he was saying.
And the one standing next to him seemed to be a fisherman "Stop talking nonsense".
"Get out! Don't even think about touching my land!"
"What land or not, this is obviously a fish tank!"
"Does your fish tank look like this!?"
"%￥#@!"
The three exchanged glances, tacitly decided not to disturb them, and continued to move forward.
Further ahead was a very small room with a radioactive sign printed on the door.
"This seems to be the power room?" Fang Chang thought, comparing the text on the VM. "According to the information in the official website setting set, it should be the place where the fusion reactor is placed?"
Ye Shi looked around and muttered, "It seems that there is nothing to see here, and the open area is also very small... I thought I could see the inside of the reactor."
Fang Chang: "After all, it is not easy to edit such technology beyond reality in science fiction games. Generally, you are given a bunch of models to imagine it yourself."
The reactor is not in this narrow room of less than 20 square meters. There is a very thick wall and a closed alloy door in front of them.
There is a small window on the alloy door, which can see the metal bracket behind the wall and the half outline of the suspected controlled fusion reactor.
Kuangfeng walked over, looked closer with curiosity, and reached out to push the door gently.
However, the door seemed to be fixed to the space and did not move at all.
Maybe this part was originally a texture?
Or the operator has not figured out how to edit it, or does not intend to waste time on insignificant details.
Seeing that there was no response no matter how he tried, Kuangfeng took his hand back and said with regret.
"What a pity."
Although he didn't think that the operator could have any eye-catching ideas, it was inevitable that people would be curious about professional fields.
It would be nice if I could see what it looked like.
...
Just as the players were exploring the new content of version 0.9, Chu Guang, the manager of the entire shelter, was standing in the last area of the "functional area" on the B3 floor, a warehouse that was temporarily not open to players.
There were two "black boxes" in the warehouse, one large and one small.
[Item: Black Box]
[Number: NO.11]
[Function: Produce Vital Signs Monitor]
[Instructions for use: Place in the atmosphere, connect to the power supply, input 3L of water, 300g aluminum, 200g iron, 100g copper, 50g nickel...]
[Available: Vital Signs Monitor, Organic/Inorganic Waste. ]
[Item: Black Box]
[Number: NO.X]
[Function: Hibernation Chamber for Clones]
[Instructions: Place in the atmosphere, connect to the power supply, input 100L of water, 50KG of aluminum, 30KG of iron, 5KG of copper, 100g of nickel, 8g of gold...]
[Available: Hibernation Chamber for Clones, Organic/Inorganic Waste. ]
The small black box is only the size of an ordinary suitcase, similar to the specifications he found in Shelter No. 117.
The other large one is more like a car than a box.
At the same time, a light blue window appeared in front of Chu Guang. It was the data card projected by the administrator system in his field of vision.
Walking to the box numbered NO.X, Chu Guang found a simple drawing of the operating instructions that even illiterate people could understand from a palm-sized lid.
However...
It did not explain what this thing was used for.
After reading the manual over and over again, Chu Guang had a strange expression on his face.
Xia Yan, who came over from the side, spoke for him.
"A hibernation chamber for clones? What is this thing used for?"
