Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Linli is defined as a work that gets you hooked, rather than a work for hardcore fans.

This definition, when applied to gameplay details across the entire world, becomes crucial.

On one hand, the protagonist's character is somewhat like the man from Wuling in The Peach Blossom Spring, who is unfamiliar with the entire Eastern fantasy world.

In this mode, longtime fans will smile knowingly when they see these first-time encounter scenes.

Newcomers can also quickly develop an understanding of these characters through these storylines.

Also.

The entire world and the main storyline are presented in a piecemeal fashion, allowing players to explore on their own.

This series of designs.

All of this is to allow players who come here by reputation to experience the charm of Touhou Gensokyo.

Guo Qingqing is actually a representative of this type of player.

You might say she's unfamiliar with Touhou Project, but she's watched a few MAD videos and some hand-drawn animations, and knows popular characters like Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame.

But if you say she's a fan of Touhou Project, all she knows is its name...

For someone like Guo Qingqing, if a major event were to hit her right from the start, with a bunch of characters suddenly appearing and saying lines that only fans of the original work could understand, she would definitely be confused.

This kind of approach not only fails to allow her to experience the beauty of the East, but also leaves players feeling confused.

But like now, let her explore slowly.

She found it very interesting.

For example, right after talking to Rumia, she thought Rumia was quite cute and her abilities were quite interesting. Then she quickly remembered that she seemed to have seen this character in a hand-drawn comic she had read before.

After the conversation is over.

System notification: [Affection with Rumia +1]

"Hey, this character actually has a favorable rating."

"So, this is a recruitable partner?"

After playing for a while, I have developed a positive impression of the game's affinity system.

Guo Qingqing had a general understanding of the game, since she had met several characters since the beginning.

The game's encyclopedia system allows you to view characters with whom you have established a friendly relationship.

For example, when Guo Qingqing opens the character encyclopedia now, she can see that several characters she has interacted with have changed from gray to color.

At the same time, these characters also have a favorability rating in the upper right corner.

The introduction to the system's affinity system also briefly mentioned the connection between the game's affinity system and the gacha system.

The entire Touhou fantasy world's gacha pool is divided into three pools.

[Character Pool] [Normal Pool] [Affection Pool]

The character pool is actually the same as the UP pool, with one character for each period.

A regular pool is a large pool.

What's special is this [Affection Pool].

In the Eastern fantasy world, when you reach a certain level of affinity with a character in the open world gameplay, you can lock that character in the [Affinity Pool].

The pity system for the [Affection Pool] has been reduced from 80 in the standard pool to 60, and there is no chance of getting a wrong card; it's a direct guaranteed pity.

If you raise your affinity with a character to the maximum level, you'll lock that character in the Affinity Pool and receive a discount when drawing cards from them.

This system caters to wealthy players on one hand.

These wealthy players who treat money like dirt can easily spend all their money right from the start and collect all the characters.

on the other hand.

For regular players, discounts can also be earned through normal gameplay, by accumulating time and completing character side quests.

In the long term.

The characters in "Eastern Fantasy World" are not difficult to obtain. With this gacha system and the copper coin exchange system, it is relatively easy for players to either assemble their favorite team or follow a guide to copy strategies.

After having a character retention rate.

Next up, of course, is the skin.

~~~

In fact, when the economic system of the entire Eastern fantasy world was first established, some people mentioned the setting of the card mismatch rate when discussing this economic model.

But Lin Li rejected it.

In his view, the rate of fraudulent card transactions is more harmful than beneficial in some respects.

The "WaiKa" system, which is designed to trick players into spending money, violates the most fundamental logic of what makes a game fun.

Effort and fixed returns.

Especially in long-term operation, unless your game quality can always remain top-notch, when your game is already becoming more and more bland.

One instance of getting the wrong character card could very well mean the loss of a player.

In today's incremental market, it doesn't matter.

Lin Li knew very well that the market would enter a period of saturation within two years.

The longer a user stays, the more engaged they are with the game, and even if they don't pay now, there will always be opportunities in the future.

Therefore, Lin Li's bottom line for the gacha system is to remove the unwanted cards.

After chatting with Rumia.

Guo Qingqing continued to stroll around.

At this moment, she had forgotten that there was an Qiu sister outside the city who had been made to cry by her, and the seasonal anomaly behind her.

no way.

This city is so vibrant.

The scenery and architecture are also very nice.

Especially the Hieda Residence in the city.

The family crest on the lacquered wooden gate and courtyard wall.

Although she couldn't go inside, Guo Qingqing could actually see the scenery in the courtyard from an overhead perspective.

The landscape within the courtyard, the enshrined sacred statue, the dignified servants, and the faint scent of books and ink in the air all showcase the majesty and profound history of this clan.

"Wow, the art style of this mansion is amazing."

"Could we climb over the wall and take a look?"

"I have a feeling there must be a treasure chest inside."

For players, the more beautiful a scene is, the more it represents resources and story.

Therefore, the first reaction of viewers who saw Hieda Mansion in the live chat was to scroll into the chat.

can only say.

This idea is very gamer-like.

Just as Guo Qingqing was trying to figure out how to sneak into Hieda's residence, a young girl flew in from low altitude.

"Wenwen Daily!!"

"Wenwen Daily, 5 copper coins a copy!"

"Would you like one if you don't recognize me?"

Faced with the sudden appearance of Aya Shameimaru, Guo Qingqing thought she had triggered some special mission, so she chose to buy it.

Then..

Thank you for your patronage!

Wait, why did they leave?

It's really just selling a newspaper...

The system then notified me that I had received a copy of "Wenwen News October Issue 10".

I gained something new.

Guo Qingqing then clicked on the "Package" option in the bottom operation interface.

Soon, a 10x10 package interface that players are all too familiar with popped up.

This set of operations is actually quite out of place in anime-style games, but it fits the gameplay of this large world very well.

The types of packages are quite common; each item occupies one slot. In addition to packages, there are also separate material packages and miscellaneous item packages.

The last two packages were empty. The first package didn't contain much; there were only two packages in total.

The first box contains an icon shaped like a rice ball, with the number 6 below it.

These were leftovers from what Guo Qingqing had just sold at the Night Sparrow Canteen; I never expected they'd end up in her package.

The second one is "Wenwen News," which I just bought.

After clicking, there is an animation effect similar to opening a newspaper.

"Wenwen News, October Issue 10"

Chapter 259 Making a Big Announcement

[Today's Top News]

"Three days ago, our reporter found a pool of blood in the Lost Bamboo Forest, but Eientei said he was unaware of it."

"Yesterday, Xianglintang was burglarized again. According to the shop owner, the culprit was a dark, whitish blob..."

"Shocking! The priestess of Paradise is going to hold another grand banquet. Is she really celebrating, or is she just using this as an opportunity to make money?"

...

As you scroll down with your mouse, you'll see several news items like this.

Some news items also have clickable labels.

Several of them correspond to specific side quests.

"Wenwen News can also take on missions?"

"Wow, this task-accepting system is quite innovative."

"You can accept missions without having to run around anymore?"

"It looks like a quick way to accept missions."

"interesting."

The viewers' guesses in the comments were correct.

The role of Wenwen News in the game is mainly for players who only want to experience the storyline but don't want to run around exploring.

Throughout the entire Eastern fantasy world.

Once players have unlocked the world map, it's difficult for them to explore it every day to see if there are any new events.

But in game design.

Lin Li's plan is the same as that of the Girls' Frontline: every one to two days, new events and storylines will be added to the game.

These events and storylines will be added to the game's event pool.

Every day, the system will randomly select events and place them on the world map, which, together with fixed side quests and main quests, will form the content of the Eastern fantasy world.

This system can enhance the player's sense of novelty.

But at the same time, there is no index.

This gameplay can easily become a burden for players.
