After the announcement was issued, Chu Guang was not idle and continued to pin his pre-edited posts to the top of the forum on the official website.
This kind of major update is related to the interests of all players. Of course, I have to use my role as a planner to have a good chat with the players.
"Developer Diary: alpha0.3 version"
"Hello everyone, I am your dearest planner. Thanks to our overtime work day and night, and the closed beta players who clock in on time every day, the development progress of Wasteland OL has taken a big step forward!"
"I'm not boasting, this update to alpha0.3 will be the most significant update since the game's closed beta test began!"
“Some friends have been complaining before that the settlement process of contribution points is too troublesome. You have to go offline to check it. You can’t feel the joy of counting money in the game. They are always worried about NPC deducting wages... In fact, this worry is completely unnecessary.
The manager of Vault 404 who is a novice guide is absolutely upright in his settings and will never pay a penny less. I can guarantee this with my character!"
"However, although there is no problem of wage deductions, the problem of too cumbersome contribution point settlement process does exist. After receiving feedback, our planning department held meetings for three days and nights, and finally came to the conclusion that authenticity cannot be sacrificed.
Gameplay.”
"Therefore, we decided to design a new set of currencies to replace the original contribution points as the main reward players get from missions!"
"This currency is very convenient. It has two face values: 1 and 10, and its color is brass and silver. It can be used to purchase food, equipment, and other paid services and goods."
"Yes, after this update, food will no longer be provided for free, but players will need to spend in-game copper coins or silver coins to purchase it. At the same time, players will also receive money as rewards from tasks... This sounds like
Isn’t it fun to play? The gameplay is enriched in an instant!”
"On the other hand, after the Alpha0.3 update, the shelter will allow its residents to own their own private property! The garbage or equipment picked up by players from the wasteland will belong to them and can be traded with other players.
It can be sold to the shelter for rewards."
"For this purpose, we have specially launched an additional warehouse system, a buffer room located at the entrance and exit of the shelter!"
"There is a row of lockers there that can be set with passwords. You should have noticed before. Now they are open for use. Money and weapons can be stored there, except for dangerous items that are prohibited from being brought into the shelter!"
"What? Are you asking me if it's free? Of course it's charged! But don't worry, their rent is very cheap and everyone can afford it!"
"In addition, players who hold a large number of contribution points do not need to be discouraged! Although contribution points are no longer used as currency, NPCs will all see your contribution to the shelter and even the entire civilization."
"After research by our planning department, we decided to incorporate contribution points into the new 'honor' system!"
"This system is independent of the economic system and is mainly related to the 'privileges' that players enjoy in the shelter... To put it simply, it can be used to exchange for identity and title!"
"The initial identity of all players is a shelter resident by default. You can upgrade from a resident to a citizen by spending 2,000 contributions."
"In Vault 404, residents only enjoy basic human rights, and only citizens can own private land."
"Currently, only 'citizen' status is open for redemption. The lowest level of citizenship only supports the purchase of 5 square meters of private land, and as the status increases, this number will continue to expand."
"More identities and titles will be released in subsequent updates based on the progress of the test."
"At the same time, systems such as mercenaries, caravans, guilds, and legions that are being designed also have certain needs for identity and contribution points."
"After the Alpha0.3 version, the rewards for daily tasks are mainly monetary. Only behaviors that contribute to the overall interests of the outpost can be rewarded with contribution points. This includes but is not limited to holding public positions, solving emergencies, and great creations
and inventions, etc.”
“Please remember these!”
After the post was posted, it didn't immediately cause much commotion.
But this was also within Chu Guang's expectation.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon here in the wasteland, and it's early morning in reality. It's too early for the netizens who haven't obtained the reservation qualification, and it's too early for the players who are in the game.
When they go offline, they will naturally see it.
After stretching, Chu Guang was about to turn off the computer when he suddenly discovered that there were more replies to the post.
[Crow Crow: What’s going on? This is an update!? I, I, I, I, I missed the entire 0.2 version?! QAQ]
Chu Guang was shocked when he saw this post.
This guy really does what he says and won't sleep without a helmet.
However, there was nothing he could do.
If possible, Chu Guang hopes that the player's resurrection CD can be shorter than anyone else, but unfortunately, it always takes some time to develop from an embryo to a mature individual.
Just be patient, I'll be able to come up almost tomorrow.
Ignoring this unlucky little player, Chu Guang turned off his computer, got up and went outside the shelter.
Since he bought a batch of tools from Brown Farm last time, the efficiency of players' work has indeed improved a lot compared to before.
It has only been two days since the third batch of players entered the game, and the concrete walls surrounding the sanatorium are almost repaired.
Not only that, Chu Guang also discovered that some players, under the leadership of "Keep Someone Under the Knife," dug a foundation in the open space in front of the sanatorium, paved it with yellow mud bricks, and plastered it with cement.
It looks like building a house.
Chu Guang stepped forward, grabbed a player who was moving bricks and asked.
"What are you doing?"
The player was quite upright and explained with a smile.
"I heard that the new NPC is a weapons merchant, we are giving her a weapons store!"
Damn it?
Hearing this, Chu Guang was shocked.
Are you so conscious?
Although he did reveal NPC information to Fang Chang, he never hinted at repairing the weapons store.
This wave of predictions is simply out of the air!
Without any expression on his face, Chu Guang then looked at the foundation next to him and continued to ask.
"What about the other one?"
The player replied with a smile.
"That one should be the bathhouse!"
"Didn't we always go to the lake to wash up, but later we found that it was not safe to do this all the time. Especially yesterday, when Brother Lao Bai went into the water, his little earthworms were almost bitten off by a catfish. So we discussed and planned to build a public bathhouse.
come out."
puff.
No, you can't laugh.
Chu Guang held it in and nodded with a stiff expression.
"Ahem, come on."
"It's a good thing to pay attention to hygiene..."
The player said with a smile.
"Okay! Then I'll get busy first."
"Go ahead."
The time soon came to evening.
Brother Scrambled Egg set up an iron pot in the open space, first threw in a piece of hyena fat to make oil, then threw the chopped venison and vegetable leaves picked up from somewhere into the pot, stir-fried over high heat, and sprinkled with
Salt for seasoning.
Tonight's recipe is stir-fried venison with bracken and boiled green wheat porridge.
Thanks to the reindeer brought by the manager, the players can finally improve their food.
"Where did you pick up that iron pot?" Seeing Brother Scrambled Egg holding a kitchen utensil he had never seen before, Chu Guang was curious, so he looked at Lao Bai who was closest to him and asked.
"That thing you're talking about was made by Fang Chang and I." Faced with the manager's inquiry, Lao Bai said with a smile.
"Did you make it?" Chu Guang glanced at him in surprise, and then asked, "Is your blast furnace... ready for use?"
"It's already usable! Although the quality of the steel produced can only be considered average, there is still no problem in making some tools."
Lao Bai smiled proudly and continued,
"I wanted to report to you just now, but I couldn't find you, hehe."
Unexpectedly, even the technology of indigenous steelmaking has been mastered by these players.
Although the quality of the steel produced through this method may not be satisfactory, doesn't any technology mature step by step?
With iron.
Not to mention combat effectiveness, at least productivity can reach a new level!
Chu Guang sighed in his heart, with admiration written on his face.
"You have done a great job and I will report your contribution to the organization."
"You and Lai Ri Fang Chang will receive a reward of 1,000 contribution points... as a reward for solving the steel needs of the outpost."
Lao Bai was overjoyed and said quickly.
"It's my honor to share your worries!"
Chu Guang shook his head.
"You're welcome."
These players are all talented, and they speak well. It is too easy for me to be a manager.
I remember that when he was on Beit Street, Chu Guang heard old Charlie from the grocery store say that most of the managers of shelters did not end well.
The residents of the shelter are far more difficult to take care of than the survivors in the wasteland. Even if they are well fed and clothed, they will still ignore the bad current situation and put forward some unrealistic ideas.
Very few plunderers can break through the copper and iron walls of the shelter head-on. Even those scratchy weapons are not worthy of leaving a scratch on the door of the shelter. Most of the shelters that are abandoned due to unnatural factors are due to internal problems.
Contradictions and disagreements, self-destructive.
When he heard these words from old Charlie, Chu Guang always felt that his tone was a bit melancholy.
It's like his own experience.
When he just took over the management authority of Shelter 404, Chu Guang was actually a little worried. He was worried that he would not be able to do the job well, so he always left an escape route for himself on Beit Street and bribed Xiaoyu to help him look after the house.
.
But now, he no longer thinks so.
Something like this might happen in any shelter, but it would never happen here.
Walk to the cooking stove.
Chu Guang held a bowl and looked at the scrambled egg brother who had just finished frying a pot of vegetables and said.
"Give me a bowl too."
Scrambled Egg looked surprised.
In his impression, this NPC seemed to have never had a meal with them. So much so that he once suspected that this adult did not need to eat according to the setting.
Has artificial intelligence been upgraded?
"I come!"
Teng Teng, who was waiting by the stove, diligently took the bowl, filled a large bowl of green wheat porridge, and handed it to the manager.
"Be careful because it's hot."
"Um."
Chu Guang nodded and thanked him, then asked Fried Egg Brother to give him a spoonful of fried venison, pouring it directly on the thick green wheat porridge, then turned and walked towards the elevator of the shelter.
