Chapter 422 Doll Transformation


    Qiu Qinghong decided to try the combat effectiveness of the doll form again.


    He vaguely felt that the human form seemed a bit deceptive. Although he imagined that his body was flexible, handsome and strong, in fact it was not the case at all. It was as brittle as a piece of paper.


    According to Wei Chengjie, in order to prevent the destruction of parts from causing too much frustration to players, such as being directly hit in the head by a monster''s upward attack like before, there seems to be armor similar to helmets in the game, which means that it can be targeted To increase the defense of a certain part.


    But after all, it''s just a trial demo at this time, and it doesn''t have those armors yet.


    And Qiu Qinghong highly doubted that there would really be such a thing as a helmet in a game with a Victorian background?


    I am afraid that even if there is special armor to protect the head, it will not be easy to obtain.


    In this case, if you can''t beat it, then join. Since the doll is very strong, what if I become a doll too?


    Thinking of this, Qiu Qinghong immediately returned to the street lamp to check the options.


    Sure enough, there really is an option to "modify prosthetic limbs".


    According to the normal game process, some functions in the game require specific processes to be unlocked in the early stage, and they also need to be used at fixed NPCs in the early stage. For example, in the early stages of upgrading, you need to find special dolls, and to transform prosthetics, you need to find special doll craftsmen and workbenches.


    Of course, as the game progresses, these functions will be integrated into the street lights in the middle and later stages to facilitate players'' use.


    It''s just that in the demo, those special functions have not been implemented yet, so they are all integrated into the street lamp.


    However, when he clicked on the option of modifying the prosthetic limb, Qiu Qinghong felt a little dizzy.


    "You can''t change your head!"


    Wei Chengjie coughed twice: "Of course, there is a certain order in the transformation of the puppet''s prosthetic limbs. It is obviously unscientific to replace the head right away."


    According to the functions in the game, it is a relatively long process to transform the whole body into a doll. It requires continuous collection of various parts and key props during the game process, and a certain amount of unclean blood must be consumed to solidify the crystallization. In layman''s terms, To put it simply, it is the experience gained from fighting monsters in the game.


    And there is a certain order for transforming the dolls.


    At the beginning, the player only has a left arm as a puppet prosthetic, and the subsequent transformation order is the right arm, legs, back, abdomen, chest, and finally the head.


    If you think about it carefully, you will find that this sequence is actually very reasonable. It is based on the "danger of transformation" and "the nature of human beings".


    The limbs and back are relatively insignificant. The abdomen contains human digestive organs, while the chest is only responsible for breathing and heartbeat. The head is responsible for human thoughts, so it must be continuously upgraded to completely transform the whole body.


    This made Qiu Qinghong very helpless, because he originally wanted to directly modify his head to make himself without weaknesses.


    Now it seems that I have thought too much.


    Wei Chengjie coughed twice and said comfortingly: "Actually, there are benefits to transforming the limbs and trunk.


    “If it were a human body, destruction of limbs would also have serious consequences.


    "For example, if the legs are damaged, the movement speed will be slowed down and staggering will occur when taking steps. If the back is damaged, subsequent attacks on the back will cause high amounts of backstab damage, which will in turn damage the internal organs.


    “In more serious cases, the player may even be directly disabled, unable to move during the battle and can only crawl.


    "What''s more, modifying the limbs will also cause subtle changes in the corresponding movements."


    Qiu Qinghong was stunned when he heard this. Good guy, it turns out that the damage to other parts is also so severe?


    It was originally thought that only damage to the head would be fatal, but now it seems that damage to the body is equally fatal.


    Hand injuries directly lead to deformation of attack movements?


    Leg injury directly leading to limited movement?


    The back will directly bleed heavily.


    It can be seen that damage to these parts will also seriously weaken the player''s performance. Although it will not directly cause death, it is almost the same.


    After all, you can''t defeat monsters in the first place. If your legs are lame, wouldn''t you be even more unable to defeat them?


    Wei Chengjie hurriedly added: "Of course, the damage to parts will not make players completely unable to play. After the battle is over, players can also repair the damage to parts through certain means.


    "If it is a human body, then light damage can be solved with a simple bandage; severe damage requires the injection of special repair crystals.


    "If it''s a doll''s body, use various tools to repair it." Qiu Qinghong was sweating a little, thinking that the designer of Nitiantian was really kind!


    Instead of letting the player drag his broken leg to the next streetlight, he very kindly provided a way to repair the damaged part. This is so humane...what a ghost!


    This is still very cheating!


    The repair of damaged parts must be carried out after the battle. Whether the player can drag the broken leg and limbs until the end of the battle is a big question mark.


    And even if it can be repaired, it will definitely consume a certain amount of resources, which will undoubtedly increase the burden on players to some extent.


    Although the more I played, the more I felt that this game was going to die violently, but it was designed by Party A’s father after all. As a studio employee who had lost his self-awareness, Qiu Qinghong was too embarrassed to say too much and could only continue to play.


    Fortunately, the demo is kinder and provides players with more resources, so Qiu Qinghong can transform himself into half a doll directly at the street lamp.


    Right hand, change!


    Legs, change!


    Back, change!


    It’s over here. Currently, there are no more parts to change in the demo. The three crucial positions of the abdomen, chest and head may only be changed in the official version of the game through specific plots.


    But even if only the limbs and back are replaced, the change is already big enough.


    At this time, you can clearly see that the character''s body has changed. Doll-like joints appear on both hands and legs, and the driving gears are vaguely visible on the back, as well as a very strong shell.


    Qiu Qinghong couldn''t help but feel good about himself: "Okay, I should be very hard now, right?


    "It seems like as long as you protect your head and front, it shouldn''t be a big problem."


    He noticed that both the doll and the character were still relatively small in size. Moreover, this was a monster after all, and its movements were relatively simple.


    As long as you dodge the move, you won''t be hit in the head.


    Generally speaking, the enemy''s attack actions are mainly slashing from left to right. It shouldn''t be a big problem to use two arms to get beaten. Although this doll''s main attack method is stabbing, you can avoid the chest position with a little dodging. , and it won’t cause too much harm.


    Thinking of this, Qiu Qinghong stepped forward again.


    This time he discovered that after transforming the doll''s body, the action module also changed!


    First of all, after replacing his right hand, the original human-like attack method disappeared, and instead became more like a doll.


    If you just press the attack button, the puppet will not perform a coherent attack like a human. Instead, it will pause when it raises its hand to the highest point, just like the puppet is winding up.


    And if you just click it, this attack will not only be slower than humans, but the damage will also be lower than humans.


    But correspondingly, the player can choose to hold down the attack button. At this time, the doll''s arm will continuously accumulate power, and when released, it will quickly shoot and cause considerable damage.


    Qiu Qinghong couldn''t help but feel happy, "Very good, I can master the quick and slow knife too!"


    Although this action feels a little stiff when you first get started, you will soon get used to it, and this method of charging up and stealing the knife is also very suitable for the turn-based system.


    But there is also a disadvantage in transforming into a human doll, that is, the body movements become inflexible.


    Whether it is moving or stepping to dodge, the performance has been significantly reduced, and it is a bit cumbersome.


    One of the most fatal problems is that the forward sway seems to have increased, and the doll must be charged by the clockwork before it can move. However, this short power-up by the clockwork makes it impossible for the doll to dodge immediately.


    "What if I keep the human legs and only modify the doll''s arms and back?"


    Qiu Qinghong subconsciously had this idea, but soon he fell into entanglement.


    Because the damage of the doll also depends on the total number of parts of the doll to a certain extent. The more parts there are, the more power the parts can exert if the springs of each part are closely connected.


    From a purely numerical perspective, transforming into a pure doll will definitely cause the highest damage, but this will also bring about a series of problems such as stiff movements. There are many factors that affect game combat. Blindly pursuing high damage may not be the best. untie.


    Qiu Qinghong felt that his scalp was itchy, as if he was about to grow a brain.


    However, this kind of complex mechanism is probably something that needs to be verified and considered after the game is released. After transforming his body, Qiu Qinghong obviously felt that the damage reduction rate had improved. He avoided the overhead attacks and protected his head, and he was quickly killed. This little monster.


    After simply repairing his body with crystals, Qiu Qinghong chose to move on.
