Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

The buildings elsewhere were all gray and gloomy.

at this time.

Two tasks appeared in the top left corner.

One is a short mission that lets players understand the function of these compartments.

For example, the most important thing is the dormitory where you can interact with the character, and then there are some cabins related to gameplay.

The system will use short and quick tasks to help players understand the system quickly.

There is only one long-term task.

[Building a cloning pod]

This serves as a supplement to the game's storyline.

In addition to unifying Terra, players will have some specific missions.

~~~

After glancing at the compartments, Lin Li did not explore them.

Instead, I clicked on the bridge in the compartment and returned to the main screen.

Chapter 340 It's all about clashing with miHoYo!

After returning to the main interface, click on the main storyline; it's also slightly different from the original.

The original version comes out right away.

The main plot revolves around the protagonist being chased.

Add to that the various riddle-solving characters, and players get the impression that Rhodes Island is just a small, unremarkable organization that doesn't seem to have any grand backstory.

But now, an animation, a giant machine, and the Rhodes Island, which far surpasses the current civilization system, are actually hinting at a lot.

The first battle also begins with a group of people attacking the protagonist.

They turned to clearing out Reunion members who appeared near the Rhodes Island.

After completing the beginner battle.

Upon revisiting the main storyline, a massive Terra map unfolds before the player.

However, at this time, most areas were covered in gray, and only the area near the Rhodes Island was visible to the player.

The storylines that can be chosen also appear on these plots of land.

There are three types of tasks on the plot.

One is the main theme.

For example, the plot of the first chapter is that the Reunion Movement is attacking the city, and the player needs to clear them out during this time.

Amiya will tell the player about some of the things that happened during the more than ten years he was in hibernation.

The second type is occupation.

Each plot of land represents a level. Once the level is completed, the plot becomes the player's territory.

Some story events will automatically occupy the land after completion, preventing players from having to fight repeatedly.

The third type is side quests.

It will refresh in the areas that players have already explored, and some exciting side quests from the previous life will also be released in this way.

In addition, some side quests related to different timelines will also be refreshed.

For example, there is a side story in the first chapter.

It tells the story behind the Reunion Movement.

The Reunion Movement is like the Yellow Turban Rebellion during the Three Kingdoms period. It was indeed a group of infected people rebelling against the world at the beginning, but as their power grew, the Reunion Movement changed its nature.

It's not only persecuting ordinary residents, but also looting, vandalism, and arson are to be expected.

In this side story, the Doctor and Amiya go to the city to appease the people and capture a member of the Reunion Movement during their journey.

The doctor told him that Oripathy was curable and even gave him a bottle of medicine, wanting to try to solve the problem through communication.

However, the precious antidote was crushed by the arrival of the Reunion Movement's boss.

"We don't need the antidote. We are the normal people. You are the abnormal ones!"

~~~

The three story segments correspond to each other.

It's about the plot, gameplay, and world-building.

Within this broad framework.

The gameplay hasn't changed much; it's still a top-down tower defense game.

It simply adds another gameplay element to the tower defense genre.

This strategy is all about offense.

In the game's storyline.

If the player is passively attacked, then the gameplay remains the same: tower defense placement.

However, if the player initiates the attack in the storyline, the gameplay will change.

In this mode.

First, the player will be given a map. The player can select the character to fight based on the defending enemies on the battlefield, and then select the route the character should take by drawing a line. After confirming, the player can proceed.

You can then watch your character move along the route.

During this process, players can also unleash skills.

In other words, the player has switched to the monster's perspective.

The strategy shifted from defense to offense.

Or it could be killing the BOSS.

The two modes are like the front and back moves on a chessboard, which at the same time deepens the player's development.

Some countermeasure cards may appear in the future.

For example, a certain character is better suited for offense, while another character is better suited for defense.

As for the specific details of the plot, Lin Li did not interfere too much.

He gave it a try.

With a general framework in place and copywriters trained by Xinghuo Training Program, these two conditions were met.

Seacat did a pretty good job.

Many of the plots, which are based on real-life events and then twisted into something else, are both ironic and incredibly realistic.

In addition, this version of the doctor, because in the framework he is a person who protects two civilizations, there are many related descriptions in the plot.

Lin Li spent about an hour completing the first chapter, and his understanding of the game was excellent.

Players receive positive feedback every time they progress through the story.

After all, the player's territory expands after the storyline, although this change may not seem significant when scaled up to the entire continent of Terra.

But that's enough to provide positive feedback to players.

In addition, brief voiceovers for the main storyline have been implemented.

The term "brief voice acting" refers to voice actors only voicing short sentences and the beginning of long passages of text.

This is a form of optimization.

After all, most players won't listen to the entire story; they'll listen and watch simultaneously, and then click on the next section once they've finished watching the story.

Therefore, concise voiceovers can greatly enhance the viewing experience of the main storyline without causing client bloat or optimization issues.

After finishing the first chapter, Lin Li nodded.

From this overall experience...

His judgment was absolutely correct.

This version of Arknights no longer needs a general overview.

The reason why Hai Mao felt there was still a problem was purely due to his mental tension.

"There are no major problems. Let's go for it. We can start the promotion now. We'll launch the closed beta first. If the data feedback is good, we'll do some promotion in April along with the Girls Frontline anime, and then we'll make some promises at the carnival. Then we can go live directly."

With Lin Li's affirmation and after communication.

Sea Cat also felt much more relaxed.

"Okay, so when exactly will we launch the closed beta?"

Lin Li stood up and glanced at his phone.

This was a message he had deliberately saved; it was a text message sent by miHoYo to a group of users.

The text message contained an invitation to the closed beta test of "Honkai Impact 2.5" on March 16th.

Lin Li himself also has a Honkai Impact 3 account, so he also received this text message.

When the sea cat asked this question.

Lin Li subconsciously remembered this date.

So he patted the sea cat on the shoulder.

"Good luck."

The fact that it was in the middle of nowhere puzzled Hai Mao.

"What do you mean by 'good luck'?"

“《崩坏2.5》会在3月16号上，所以我们的时间也可以定下来了，就在3月16号。”

The sea cat paused for a moment, then asked.

"Huh? Wouldn't that mean we'd run into each other? There's no need for that. Since we haven't set a release date yet, we can avoid miHoYo."

Lin Li smiled.

"No need to avoid it, we need to do it all on the same day to make the publicity and promotion stand out. Let's do it this way, arrange the operations team and prepare the publicity and promotion."

The sea cat still looked puzzled.

Lin Li hadn't originally planned to talk about the publicity details, but then he remembered how nervous Hai Mao looked.

He used an example to illustrate what he was going to do.

Remember Wanglaoji?

The sea cat answered naturally.

"Of course, it's the one that fought with JDB, why bring this up all of a sudden?"

Lin Li chuckled.

Do you know who died in the fight between Wanglaoji and Jiaduobao?
