Soon, the second closed beta version of the game was released.
There are still many flaws this time, but the progress is huge.
At least the basic framework of the game is complete.
Much better than the four different things last time.
Now we are constantly plugging loopholes, fixing bugs, improving details, optimizing the overall and various branch systems, etc.
During the second closed beta, the twins brought in their good roommate and best friend Li Jordan to test the story mode they developed.
The so-called story mode is to experience the classic battles Gryffindor experienced in the "Adventure Book".
And they both went crazy enough to fix the character's age at Gryffindor's age.
Li Qiaodan put on the magic game glasses, and then immersed himself in the role of a 10-year-old child, who was chased for two miles by two red hats and stabbed eight times...
He screamed and crawled more than 20 meters on the ground with his glasses on. The twins, Ron, and Jerry couldn't hold him down.
It can be seen that this is really immersive!
This caused Li Qiaodan to feel that the red hat was very scary for many years after that...
However, the twins still felt that it was a bit unsatisfying, because compared to the reality of the Adventure Book, relying on the magic game glasses was still a bit fake. It's just that in that tense situation, players can't notice the details at all.
They also plan to continue optimizing to become more realistic and make the pain real.
Not to mention being trampled into mud by an earthly dragon like you did in the Book of Adventures, it would still be 50% painful, right?
Otherwise, how can I be so embarrassed to say that everyone can enjoy the teachings of Gryffindor? !
The second closed beta also brought a surprise to Ted - he actually gained experience through the game!
It's not like in the adventure book, where you gain experience by defeating monsters.
Instead, the little wizards play games and he can gain experience.
Although it's not too much, it's a stable source of experience.
And Ted feels that if he continues to develop and improve the game, he may increase the experience income that players bring to him.
If the game becomes popular in the future, just by relying on the experience gained from the game every day, I can reach level 20 when I am twenty, right?
At this time, Ted's enthusiasm was also boosted!
As the saying goes, there are no secrets in Hogwarts. As long as the second little wizard here knows about it, the matter will soon spread throughout the school.
Not to mention the 16 little wizards who were directly involved in developing the game, a dozen who were indirectly involved, and the twenty or so little wizard players who were specially invited to participate in the second test...
"Ted and his gang are working on a great plan that will go down in history and change the direction of the history of magic!"
Such news quickly spread throughout the school, reaching the sixth grade students preparing for next year's graduation exam and the first grade freshmen who just entered this year. The discussion was heated.
In just one morning, twelve iterations had appeared by lunch.
Others said that Ted and the others were doing some evil research and that they could work in Azkaban without graduating.
This is the version spread by Slytherin students, because none of their Snake House students participated in the development of the game.
This makes them very jealous and resentful.
This matter was such a big deal that Professor McGonagall soon found out.
So Ted was invited to the office to talk.
…
In the office, the fire in the fireplace burns cheerfully and the temperature is very suitable.
Professor McGonagall was wearing a pair of rimless glasses and was reviewing homework.
These crystal glasses were given by Ted!
What are you doing with that little money, kid?
Professor, I bought this from the materials. It didn’t cost much, it was mainly a little thought.
That's more like it, I won't allow it next time!
Otherwise, Professor McGonagall likes Ted...
Professor McGonagall put down her quill, raised her head and pushed up her glasses, "I thought you were mature and steady!" She said in a tone that said she hated iron.
When Ted completed the transformation of Shadow Crow, Professor McGonagall thought he had completed the transformation of an Animagus, and he was always happy.
So during this period, I didn't pay much attention to Ted's spare time.
Unexpectedly, he actually made some kind of magic game, and he made a team of twenty or thirty people, and the whole school knew about it!
It doesn't matter if you don't do your job properly, you are still so public. As an outstanding student representative, you are not taking the right lead!
Dumbledore is strongly recommending that professors teach more practical knowledge to improve the combat effectiveness of young wizards. Don’t you understand what he means?
It must be said that in the minds of some discerning people, the changes in the world are clear to them.
It's hard to say this kind of thing, but smart people will prepare in advance.
Ted immediately began to quibble, oh no, defend:
"Professor, it's like this. I'm actually worried that my classmates will be addicted to having fun. So this magic game I developed is actually educational and entertaining!"
So, he fooled Professor McGonagall, oh no, explained his "little wizard game re-education plan".
First, they talked about the idea of the Weasley twins (to scorn the players), to let the little wizards feel the cruelty and reality of battle.
Increase your combat experience to avoid being panicked by surprise.
Then there is Hermione's magic card plan. If you want to use or even make your own unique magic cards, you must first master this magic.
This is just the threshold for use. If you want to make magic cards, you need to be very proficient in this magic, and you also need to know some magic knowledge.
The same applies to other game content. You need to be proficient in the knowledge of magical plants and magical animals. Even in battle modes, magic control will affect the control effect, which is probably the ping value.
If the magic control is poor, it will appear laggy.
So, if you want to be very proficient in the game, you have to study very hard!
Ted: Plan passed!
When Professor McGonagall heard this, she was indeed surprised: Could it still be done like this?
In fact, it is not a new teaching model. As early as a few decades ago, when Professor McGonagall was still in school, there were professors who engaged in entertaining education.
For example, games like Magic Ten Pin Rolling require magic and wand control to complete well. It can exercise the little wizard's magic control in the game.
It's just that in recent years, there have been fewer interesting professors, and there aren't too many of this model.
However, Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class is also of a similar type.
Learn about magical animals by feeding and caring for them.
So, what Ted said makes sense.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips: "Okay, control your movements. I will review it after it is completed! Go back and rest."
Before the game was completed, the review system appeared~
…
The third closed beta test has begun. In addition to the members of the development team, thirty-six little wizards have been selected for trial use.
There is a lot of open content this time, including the "story mode" in charge of the Weasley twins, which focuses on hard-core action and reciprocal torture.
Their good roommate and five-star Hogwarts Quidditch reviewer Li Jordan said this about this game mode:
"Before entering the game, go to the toilet to expel metabolic waste... Only the best tough guys can choose to play the game a second time after the first time... If you don't die five, six, seven or eight times in each level, you will Let’s talk about clearing the customs…”
There is also Hermione's magic card mode, which is also divided into two types: battle and clearance.
The former is a battle between two players, and the latter is a game where you build a deck with random cards obtained in game levels and try to pass the level.
This is the favorite mode for Ravenclaws. Using a good hand of cards to defeat your opponents and pass the levels is simply worthy of your high IQ!
It is worth mentioning that the little wizard from Slytherin who was invited to try out the game also liked this mode very much.
Mainly because Ted considered the issue of unity after Professor McGonagall's suggestion, so he specially recruited Slytherin players and even selected a few people to join the development team.
Regardless, Hogwarts is a whole.
Because of Voldemort's existence, cracks have already appeared in the school, and he cannot aggravate this tear.
Unite all forces that can be united, this is the teaching of a great man. Naturally, pure-blood families are also the ones to be united with.
Besides, pulling waves and hitting waves is always the best way to destroy the enemy!
The most popular game mode is "Wizards Union"!
That's right, even half of the name was copied.
Plagiarism! Can the things done by scholars be considered plagiarism?
Even if it takes ten people to start the game, players have already started queuing up.
Ted had to temporarily bring out another game table to allow more players to join.
How should I put it, when I first started playing, everyone was just a color pen.
But someone quickly stood out, such as Harley, who was particularly good at fighting. Even when controlling chess pieces to fight, she was still quite good.
There are also some who are clumsy in control, such as Ron.
He used the "hero chess piece - Stone Man" made by Ted, and failed three times in a row, and was directly blocked by his two brothers. I will never team up with him again.
However, Ron also has a hero that is good at "BBQ Puppet-Rambo", and his barbecue skills are very strong in the line.
Top laner Lambo Ron: "Haven't you heard? If you use your ultimate move vertically, the economy will be great."
Jerry the Wild Mouse: "So how is your economy?"
Top laner Lambron: "Not good."
Mid laner Iron Fist Chu Yuxun and Harley: “Most of them are short, it’s no wonder the economy is improving!”
…
In addition, there are relatively niche game modes, such as the classic adventure mode developed by Ted: Tieling Red Dead Redemption 2: Marshal Ma's Redemption from the Northeast.
In other words, the little wizards are still too young to understand the deep black humor. When they enter society and become social animals for many years, when they look back and think of this game, they will definitely understand Ted's painstaking efforts!
