The task of choosing a film and television city was taken over by Li Rushan with a pat on his chest.
But everyone also knows that taking over Li Rushan is equivalent to taking over Qin Shang. Anyway, it is Qin Shang who will run around in the end...
After having a new goal, Li Rushan has indeed swept away the haze of the past. He is no longer worried about the subsequent income of "Du Bu Wulin" for the time being. Instead, he has sorted out his mood and devoted all his enthusiasm to this new project with "very good prospects". .
While Studio 404 is getting busy again and starting to prepare new projects, the outside world's enthusiasm for "Doubo Martial Arts" continues to ferment.
One of the most important sources of popularity is: speed passers!
…
At 9 o'clock in the evening, in Ye Luo's live broadcast room.
After checking various detailed settings of the live broadcast room and the game, Ye Luo officially entered the game "Doubu Martial Arts".
"Okay, Karun!"
Speedrunning is called speedrun in foreign countries, which literally means speed running, so it is also called "run" (a homophone of run) by domestic players.
Speedrunning has been around for a long time. As early as the PC and console gaming era, countless players were exploring the limits of the fastest level. Up to now, there are already very mature speedrunning communities and speedrunning rules on the Internet.
Previously, "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats" and "Walking with Darkness" were popular games in the speedrunning community.
Countless players spend a lot of time playing these games every day just to break through the one or two seconds of extreme record time.
And ordinary players are also excited about the birth of the new record.
There are also many fans squatting in the live broadcast rooms of major speedrun anchors, wanting to share this record-breaking happiness as soon as possible.
Since the release of "Dubu Martial Arts", Ye Luo, a professional speedrunning anchor, has gradually changed his evaluation of it.
During the first week of development, Ye Luo's live broadcast room style was like this.
"Hey, this boss can still be beaten like this?"
"This teaching mechanism is so awesome! I have to give it a point for this game!"
"The character Feng Shu is really well created, one more point."
"This kind of physical combat is so exciting. I feel that this combat system has simply set the best standard for VR action games. One more point!"
"The scene in the last scene is so beautiful, and the final battle with Feng Shu is also very enjoyable, plus one more point!"
"Huh? The movie has another ending? The game also has a martial arts ending? Awesome, two more points!"
Add this up, and the game that was given a perfect score of 10 points at the beginning has been increased to more than 30 points.
But as Ye Luo began to officially challenge the speed pass of this game, the style of the live broadcast room quickly changed.
"Damn it? Why did this boss suddenly change his tactics 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 burst into laughter watching the anchor's repeated defense breaks, and various 2333 barrages floated by from time to time.
This is the core fun of speedrunning.
However, although Ye Luo could not help but lose control of his mentality when speedrunning, since he decided to run this game, it shows that this game is unique in speedrunning.
Speedrunning, although nicknamed "jail", is a very torturous gameplay, but it can still bring happiness to players.
It's just that this kind of happiness cannot be experienced by ordinary people except speedrunners.
The joy of speed-passing players lies in studying the game mechanics, studying the boss's fixed playing methods, reducing mistakes, and pursuing the operating limits, so as to set the record of the fastest clearance and be the direct and strongest.
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 joyless prison, and the vast majority of speedrunning players will not play it.
The game "Doppu Martial Arts" is very suitable for speedrunning.
First of all, its difficulty is high enough. The consciousness-connected VR game and the rich changes brought by high-intensity AI make ordinary players daunted by difficult challenges, and at the same time, it also makes those truly top players have a strong desire to conquer.
Secondly, its scene process settings are very reasonable, the difficulty of each level increases steadily in a ladder-like manner, and each boss also has its own characteristics. Speedrunning players can take care of many details when planning the process, and route process optimization itself is one of the main pleasures of speedrunning.
Finally, its speedrun length 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, these are all speed-passing times. If players play normally, the clearance time will be much higher than this.
And this time is just right for speedrunning.
If the speedrun time is less than an hour, the time is a bit short, and it is not easy to distinguish the levels of players. If it's more than two hours, it's too long, and many speedrunners will find it too torturous.
In short, these advantages, coupled with the original gameplay advantages of "Doubo Wulin", have successfully spread its popularity from the general player group to the speed passer group.
Then the popularity among speed pass players has in turn affected the popularity among ordinary players!
As speed pass players continue to explore, there have been at least two far-reaching impacts.
The first is the emergence of various fixed-game and evil ways of playing.
Speed passers are the top few in the game. They have high talent, good skills, and the best understanding of game mechanics. They also spend the most time. In order to speed pass, they will continue to explore stable and rapid methods. style of play.
These playing methods are the so-called "fixed play" in the speed-passing process, and these playing methods soon spread. Ordinary players found that they could also use this playing method to beat the boss, so "Doubu Martial Arts" was launched!
The second is the increase in popularity of live broadcasts.
Speed pass players live in the live broadcast room every day. The timing software on the screen can clearly show whether the current link is fast or slow, and the audience can also experience the excitement of this speed pass together.
Of course, the enjoyment of the speed pass itself is actually worse than the first appearance of the first game. Because speedrunning is too easy to fail, and if you make a small mistake, you will have to delete the file and start over again, which is not a good impression for the audience.
Every time you click into the live broadcast room, you will see the anchor wandering around the first level, which will make many viewers feel bored.
But there are indeed many viewers who just like to watch speedrunning. They may hang up in the live broadcast room to do other things when they have nothing to do. They only take a look when they have nothing to do. It is not until they find that the anchor is about to break the record that they get excited and start buying gifts.
There are also many such audience groups, especially when top speedrunners are racing against time to break records, the popularity of the live broadcast room will skyrocket.
If you beat me for one second today, I will beat me for two seconds tomorrow!
Even some foreign players have joined in the speedrunning of this game.
Although there is currently no multi-language version of "Doupo Wulin", this does not stop the enthusiasm of foreign players. While they are urging the official to release a multi-language version, they use simple machine translation to play through the incomprehensible plot.
Fortunately, the teaching part of "Doubo Martial Arts" itself is good enough, and the battle will not be affected if you can't understand the plot.
The addition of foreign speedrunning players has made these domestic speedrunning players also begin to feel the pressure.
The speedrunning battle between Chinese and foreigners also excited the audience. Every day they checked the rankings or went to the live broadcast room to see how many seconds the speedrunning record had improved.
In this way, when the popularity of "Doubu Martial Arts" seems to be declining, new hot spots will appear to continue its popularity. It has been on sale for such a long time, but the popularity is still slowly rising!
