Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

After saying that, Zhou Shenlin frantically opened his phone. Sure enough, the game server opened nearly two hours early, but he could only wait for the game to download.

While waiting for the download to complete.

Zhou Shenlin could only open the live stream while cursing.

As soon as I entered the live stream room, I saw the streamer yawning.

~~~

"Sorry, we'll play Bakery Girl later. Battlefront Girl has been updated, so let's play Battlefront Girl for a while first."

Huang Wenfeng checked the time.

Yes, the length of the bakery girl's live stream is already sufficient.

There's no need to broadcast it anymore.

Then he rubbed his hands together and clicked on Battlefront Girls!

Damn, I played Bakery Girl for an hour, and my head is killing me.

Battlefront Girls are so much better!!

With the launch of the battlefront girls.

Huang Wenfeng's eyes visibly brightened.

The main storyline of Battlefront Girls has now been updated to version 1.5.

The entire series of Battlefront Girls features major events that significantly advance the main storyline.

In version 1.1, players traveled from China to Europe, where they gathered and won the life-or-death war for humanity.

In version 1.2, players experience a lunar war, destroy an enemy space elevator along the way, and establish a base in North Africa.

In version 1.3, players, with the help of their base and the support of the Earth Federation, managed to hold off the Omnic invasion.

In the previous version, version 1.4, the Earth Federation finally swept away the Spanish omnics all the way down from France and reached the Spanish coastline.

Meanwhile, the player continued upwards and arrived at the west coast of Africa.

The final scene of version 1.4.

A cross-sea bridge was built.

It connects Europe with the west coast of Africa where the player is located.

That concludes the main storyline of the previous version.

Many players are already looking forward to the next major update after this 1.4 version update.

This major version is finally here.

Huang Wenfeng, a die-hard fan of the "Frontline Girls" (a popular online girl group), was naturally thrilled.

Once you enter the game.

APS, dressed in a white swimsuit, waved to Huang Wenfeng.

[Commander, the weather is so nice today! Would you like me to teach you how to swim?]

As an underwater rifle, the APS's initial skin is a swimsuit, and its Vow Wedding Dress is also designed based on the swimsuit. It was praised as the most beautiful wedding dress as soon as it was released.

In addition, there's APS's fair, white thighs and full breasts.

Many veteran gamers... no, many old-timers, decided the moment they saw APS that she was their new waifu.

Moreover, both the regular character illustrations and the wedding dress illustrations are quite suggestive.

Therefore, many people have been using APS as an adjutant during this period.

However, Huang Wenfeng usually switches out 95 as his adjutant during live streams, since he always appears as a 95 fan when he streams "Girls' Frontline"...

Yesterday, while playing "Girls' Frontline: Companions," he shouted that he only has one wife, 95, in the game.

"95 is the sky!! I said it!"

Those words still seem to echo in my ears.

During today's live broadcast, the adjutant turned out to be an APS dressed in a swimsuit and wedding gown.

Even Huang Wenfeng was starting to lose his composure.

"Uh... this... this was just an accident. Who? Who accessed my account?"

Huang Wenfeng awkwardly scratched his head, then quickly switched to his adjutant.

But how could the fans watching the live stream let him off the hook?

[The old pervert has finally been exposed!!]

[It is recommended that his group administrator privileges be revoked from the 95-fan group.]

He just made a mistake that any man would make, hahaha.

[It's okay, streamer, I understand.]

Why cut off the adjutant? Wasn't that the swimsuit version of 95 just now? (laughs)

After a minor incident.

Huang Wenfeng got into the zone and started pushing the main storyline forward.

The main storyline of version 1.5 continues the general direction of version 1.4.

Upon entering the game, Huang Wenfeng immediately opened the map and began harvesting crops.

The so-called "harvesting crops" is a new gameplay feature updated in version 1.4.

The official gameplay is called Lifeline.

The so-called lifeline is actually the supply line that extends from the player's base all the way to the sea-crossing bridge.

There are four outposts along the entire supply line.

Players need to set up defenses.

Each defensive battle node is essentially a simplified version of a tower defense facility, where players need to place humanoid figures at various nodes of the outpost.

Then, by successfully defending against a certain number of waves of enemies, you can receive a reward.

Furthermore, as long as you manage to clear the dungeon the first time, you can obtain certain rewards every day thereafter through sweeping.

Of course, players can also try different equipment setups to challenge more enemies, get higher scores, and improve their ranking.

There are a total of 4 outposts in the entire game.

Each map is designed to be very interesting.

For example, in the first map, machine guns have the advantage.

Players need to strategically use assault rifles to draw enemy fire, then use machine guns to mow down the hordes of omnics.

For example, the last map has a sniper position designed for players.

Players need to strategically allocate sniper dolls, using submachine guns to scout enemy positions and then having the sniper dolls eliminate them at pinpoints.

This gameplay sounds very ordinary.

But when combined with the attack animations and catchy sound effects from "Girls' Frontline: Companions," the feeling of taking down enemies with a single shot is still quite addictive.

The only problem is that, like the special gameplay in the previous major versions, this gameplay is fun, but the amount of content is not much.

The Lifeline gameplay is interesting because it allows for high scores and there's a certain amount of replayability.

The special gameplay features in previous major versions were basically something you could farm during those major version updates.

Once it's over, it no longer exists.

This was actually Lin Li's doing.

For Battlefront Girls, each of these major update features is designed to keep the game fresh for players.

Like a cake.

If you only give players one piece of cake at a time, they will enjoy it and look forward to what flavor the next piece will be.

Chapter 172 A Plot Twist

However, if every gameplay element is expanded without limit, it will become a burden for players.

In the later stages of Honkai Impact 3, it's common to see daily tasks layered upon daily tasks, gameplay elements layered upon gameplay elements, and daily login rewards layered upon daily login rewards.

Too many gameplay options can disrupt the game's original rhythm.

Take this lifeline system, for example.

If there were only 4 levels, the development team could refine the gameplay to be even better, making each level fun, and players wouldn't have to spend too much effort to enjoy the most interesting parts.

If it really had more than ten levels, it wouldn't be as good.

On the one hand, having more levels inevitably leads to repetition.

Furthermore, as a secondary gameplay element, if there are too many levels, players will find it too tiring and may not want to touch the system in the first place.

The vegetables have been harvested.

Huang Wenfeng quickly began to advance the main storyline of version 1.5.

The first half of the main storyline in version 1.5 is not actually that complicated. The Earth Federation discovers through satellites in space that the omnics are building a large space base south of the base, which is suspected to be some kind of space weapon.

So players were sent to explore.

As the protagonist, who had effectively become the regional commander, he naturally accepted the order and went there.

The first few levels were all normal.

Marching, encountering the enemy, fighting...

Huang Wenfeng frowned slightly as he played.

I sighed inwardly.

Has Spark Games finally run out of ideas?

He didn't say that during the live stream.

But it was indeed what I was thinking.

Based on the current plot, he could guess the rest of the story with his bare hands: the player arrives at the base, fights the boss, and then it ends.

It's not that the plot is bad.

From the start of the story to now, the initial story structures have been quite interesting, and the newly introduced humanoid and the SS-77 general-purpose machine gun from South Africa are also very beautiful.

It's his type.

However, the plot did not have a significant impact on him.

At least it didn't have the grand scale and imagination of versions like 1.1 with its space elevator, 1.2 with its lunar war, or 1.4 with its cross-sea bridge.

But it is precisely these things that make Huang Wenfeng like the frontline girls.

Playing the main story of Battlefront Girls always gave me a sense of surprise.

The world of Battlefront Girls is always very grand and full of epic scale.

And in this vast world...

Each humanoid figure seemed to come alive, making them lovable.

Just like his adjutant APS, he likes APS not only because all of her skins are swimsuits, but also because of her in version 1.4.

The bond he formed with APS after falling into the water, and the fact that although APS is a humanoid, he was always out of place in the world before meeting the Commander because he was an underwater rifleman.

It was the commander's appearance that gradually helped her integrate into the base.

That's why Huang Wenfeng likes APS.

However, from version 1.5 onwards, although the copywriting is very good and the desert scenery is also very good, it has lost some points that can truly excite people.

but..

That's true, after all, this game has been out for a year, so it's reasonable to allow for some relatively minor major updates...

Just as Huang Wenfeng had begun to think.
