When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

Gu Fan nodded: "Yes. If you parried perfectly last time, the next judgment time will be extended to 0.25 seconds. But if you don't parry perfectly, and you use parrying actions continuously in a short period of time, the next judgment time will be Decreasingly, it becomes 0.1 seconds, 0.05 seconds, and 0 seconds."

Lilith's expression was a little stiff: "Zero, 0.18 seconds...it will even drop...

"No wonder I can't resist it at all..."

Gu Fan coughed twice: "Sorry, Mr. Li, I thought you demons would react faster than humans."

Lilith said with a dark face: "Of course our demons' reaction speed is much faster than that of you humans! But in the human world, we cannot perform to our true level...

“Damn it, your flesh and blood are so weak!

"It's better to be in hell. If you come down one day, I will take you to experience it. It will definitely make you feel like you are reborn!"

Gu Fan quickly shook his head: "That's not necessary!"

Lilith looked at the game screen again, and she was obviously quite satisfied with the 0.18 seconds.

"But if the first minion is so strong, will the players be quickly persuaded to quit, and there will be no way to generate enough negative emotions?"

Gu Fan shook his head: "This is easy to solve. Why don't we arrange a few soldiers with slower attack speed than the players in the early stage?

"Once you have deceived the players, there is no problem in exposing them to the real combat system."

Lilith nodded: "Okay, this combat system has my approval! Then tell me about the content of the game. Why is this game called 'Ascension'?"

Gu Fan also didn't expect that Lilith would approve of this combat system so easily.

Obviously, she hasn't seen it!

There has never been a game similar to "Sekiro" in this world. Although there are some games that have judgments such as "Perfect Parry" or "GP", these are basically icing on the cake and will not be directly used in games. core mechanism.

This is good news for Gu Fan.

Of course, just such a combat mechanism is not enough. Gu Fan's design must also meet the three requirements Lilith mentioned before.

He began to explain his design plan.

"Mr. Li, I have to say that your task is quite difficult. Not only do you have to meet these three conditions, but you also have to think of new ways to collect negative emotions, so as not to conflict with previous game ideas.

“So after thinking hard, I decided to start with the core requirement of ‘100 bugs’.

"So, I decided to switch to a game editor."

Lilith raised an eyebrow: "Huh?"

Gu Fan opened the official platform on his computer and found the software download page of the official platform game editor.

Then, under the regular download options, there is an inconspicuous-looking tab with the words "Vientiane Editor (Preliminary Beta Version) 1.06" written on it.

"What's this?"

Lilith was a little confused. She didn't know much about things like editors. After all, Gu Fan was responsible for these things.

Gu Fan explained: "The editor we originally used was called 'Qianhuan Editor', which is also commonly known as the official editor. This editor has a history of more than ten years and is very stable, and the templates in the editor Also a lot.

“Even if you don’t use templates and just develop normally, there won’t be many bugs in this editor.

"What's more, there are tools like 'AI-debug'. After several rounds of screening, there will be fewer bugs left. Basically, only the kind of bugs that are deeply hidden and particularly weird will be left."

Lilith nodded, deeply affected by this.

Gu Fan continued: "But things like editors also need to be updated. After all, hardware configurations are constantly improving. Developers who want to pursue better graphics and more powerful functions will have new requirements for editors.

“So the official has been developing this ‘Vientiane Editor’ since two years ago. It is still in the pilot testing stage and has been iterated on several versions.

“Its functions are indeed more powerful and the picture quality is better, but its stability is much worse than the current official version of the official editor, and various bugs often appear.

"Since it has been decided that there must be at least 100 bugs in the new game, why not try this new editor?"

Lilith thought for a while: "Hmm... That makes sense."

If it were before, she would definitely not agree to use this editor. After all, BUG represents variables. But since this time it has been decided that there will be 100 bugs in the game, this editor is very suitable.

However, just to be on the safe side, Lilith still asked: "What kind of bugs will appear specifically?"

Gu Fan thought for a while: "It's hard to say. It may be that the model is worn, it may be a texture error, it may be a collision problem, or the text is messed up... it's all possible."

Lilith nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, okay, that's it."

Model wear, texture errors, collision problems, text confusion...

These are small bugs that will not make the game unplayable, but they will definitely affect the player's gaming experience and naturally lead to negative emotions.

Lilith has no reason to refuse such a good game engine.

Gu Fan continued: "As for the game themes, after excluding the classic Western fantasy themes, I considered two more common directions, one is the Eastern fantasy fairy tale theme, and the other is the future science fiction cyberpunk theme."

Lilith thought for a while: "If I had to choose, I would be more inclined to the Eastern fairy tale theme.

"Huh? No, future sci-fi is not bad either. Sci-fi and action don't go very well together, and may arouse players' disgust.

“Eh, that’s not right either.

“Although there are relatively few people making action games with a science fiction background, it will be even more dangerous if they really become popular because of their novelty.

"The fairy tale theme is relatively bad and can be better disguised."

Gu Fan coughed twice: "Mr. Li, I don't want you to choose. I have already finished writing the design plan."

Only then did Lilith react: "Oh, is that so? Which theme did you choose in the end?"

Gu Fan said seriously: "Like you, I am repeatedly torn between two themes!

“Finally, I suddenly thought, why should I choose?

"Children make choices, I want them all!

"I decided to do two themes at the same time!"

Lilith was even more surprised: "Doing two themes at the same time? How to do it? The first half is fairy tale and the second half is science fiction? Or is it the first half science fiction, and then a game appears in it, the game is fairy tale? Matryoshka doll?"

Gu Fan shook his head: "Neither. I want the two worlds to exist simultaneously, so that players can see Xianxia for one moment and science fiction for the next."

Lilith was a little stunned. Obviously, she didn't expect to be able to play like this.

"What's the point?"

Gu Fan nodded: "Of course it makes sense. Mr. Li, do you know that humans have a disease called schizophrenia?

“The clinical manifestations of schizophrenia include sensory and perceptual disorders, such as auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, tactile hallucinations, etc., as well as thinking disorders, emotional disorders, will disorders, cognitive dysfunction, etc.

"The key to the suffering of schizophrenia patients is that they often have hallucinations, and they are completely unable to distinguish what is a hallucination and what is reality.

"The game Ascension is about recreating this torture as much as possible."

Lilith blinked, obviously she didn't fully understand what Gu Fan said.

Gu Fan continued to explain: "Mr. Li, you can imagine this scene.

“One day you wake up and suddenly find yourself in heaven, surrounded by all kinds of angels, and the melodious and sacred gospel echoes in your ears.

"So you immediately started killing. These angels looked at you in horror, but none of them dared to resist. In the end, they fell in a pool of blood, and the entire heaven was slaughtered by you.

"The archangel Michael appeared and asked you why you did this. You laughed and said that you were a devil and you were at odds with the angels.

"However, the next second, the scene around you suddenly changes. You see the corpses of demons lying around you, and Michael, who once asked you questions, has also turned into Lucifer.

“You feel guilty, being locked up by Lucifer.

"One day Lucifer tells you that the war between hell and heaven is about to begin, and he wants you to make up for your mistakes and make meritorious deeds.

"So you came to the battlefield and killed the enemy bravely, killing angel corpses everywhere. However, at this moment, the vision in front of you changed again. It turned out that you had been imprisoned in heaven before, but Michael had tampered with your Memory allows you to lead the angels to attack hell, so what you kill this time is the real demon..."
