"Alpha0.9 Version Developer Diary"
Popo: "Hello, everyone, I am your dearest planner, Light—the dearest assistant! Because Laundry Gull took the lead in working overtime, it caused the collective anger of the development department, planning department, and art department. We decided to send He packed starfish cans and sold them to the mutant tribe... Anyway, we finally got the Alpha0.9 version. This update is of great significance. Since Light is still working overtime, he entrusts me to chat with you this time about the design ideas and gameplay of the new version!"
"First of all, the biggest change of Alpha 0.9 version compared to version 0.8 is that we have added a career system and skill proficiency settings to "Wasteland OL"."
"Honestly, when we made this decision, we were very hesitant. After all, what we originally wanted to do was a sandbox game with freedom and virtual community as its selling point, and focused on leisure and entertainment. It didn't even have a character interface. The kind that was intended to be developed, the concept of a career seemed to run counter to that."
"However, as the content of the game continues to enrich and players are increasingly involved in the affairs of the open world, our NPCs are gradually falling into a dilemma-that is, there are limited things that can be done, how to make the limited Distribute opportunities to those who need it more."
"Kuro likes fishing and Pero likes farming. We have a hoe and a fishing rod in our hands. The ideal situation is to give Kuro the fishing rod and Pero the hoe. But now the number of players has risen to 800, it would be unfair to decide who will do the task in an appointed way, so we need to formulate a standard!"
"And the career system and skill proficiency are born for this!"
"Take logging as an example. When a player carries a VM to cut trees or complete a logging task, the proficiency of logging skills will automatically accumulate. When the upper limit is reached, the skill level will increase. The minimum level is 0, and the highest level is 10. This level It has nothing to do with the level of the gene sequence, and the level of each skill is calculated independently. Although the improvement of the skill level will not bring you an intuitive work efficiency bonus, it can unlock more skills related to the skill and have higher benefits. quests, and even unlock exclusive titles - like Big Woodsman or Forest Destroyer!"
"In addition to logging, skills that can improve proficiency include firearms, throwing, archery, fighting, medical treatment, scavenging, butchery, cooking, construction, tailoring, metallurgy, manufacturing, planting, mining, etc... more than 40 kinds, more Please explore the details by yourself!"
"Compared to the skill proficiency system, the 'Career system' is more like a status symbol or title."
"For example, after the warehouse manager 'Mike' became a scavenger, the accumulation of proficiency in scavenger skills will be faster, and he will be entrusted with important tasks in the scavenging work, receive the exclusive scavenger profession, and can Become a 'Master Scavenger' or even a 'King of Trash'!"
"You can work as a farmer or butcher at the granary manager, unlock more seeds or receive more slaughter orders."
"In addition, there are certain skill proficiency thresholds for some professions. For example, if you want to become a hunter and hunt more worthy targets, you need to meet any of the three skills of firearms, throwing, and archery to reach level 3. Or pay 10 silver coins to start the hunting skill assessment."
"Similar occupations include soldiers, architects, prospectors, etc. In the future, occupations such as mercenaries, adventurers, and engineers will be available. For more information, please pay attention to the official website!"
"Newcomers can only register one profession. As the status level increases, the registered professions will also increase. For example, citizens can register two professions, medium citizens can register three, and so on. Registered professions can be canceled at any time, but the career-related achievements and titles will also be cleared, please choose carefully!"
"In addition, we will solve the camera problem in the next version, allowing players to record beautiful moments with the camera."
"If the next version doesn't solve it, the next version will definitely!"
...
Less than a minute after the update announcement and development log were issued, hundreds of comments were refreshed at the speed of light.
It's just that the reason for the high emotions of the players is not because of the newly launched occupation system.
It can even be said that it has nothing to do with the content of the major update of this version.
Shadow Moon: "White hair waifu! F*ck, so cool! (Broken sound)"
This Child is Really Terrifying: "So beautiful!"
Irena: "Is no one calling wife? Then let me call it. ✯◡✯"
Quit Smoking: "Planner Dad is awesome! ≧◠ᴥ◠≦✊"
Tail: "prprpr"
Sis: "Hey! This girl! No, this Tail!"
Mole In The Hole: "Tsk tsk, don't you LSPs care about the updated career system and skill proficiency? Such an important thing, what's the topic? Why did you all go to an NPC? (҂◡̀_◡́)ᕤ"
Tomorrow Seeker: "Sorry, this plan is too good. (＾་།＾)"
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "+1, brother Mole you are defiantly going to die single! (＾〃＾)"
Mole In The Hole: "Damn! Why did you, Tomorrow, you big-eyed fellow, turn against me!"
There was a lot of excitement in the post.
The same goes for forums outside of posts.
The official website has been completely overwhelmed by these cloud players, new people who are having a lot of fun.
Especially in this Alpha0.9 version, the number of players has directly increased from 500 to 800!
This time, 300 test quotas were released at once, which excited all the young people who left abounded after the last time when all slots of the so-called beta tests finished.
What is the concept of more than 200 acceptance speeches on the forum at the same time?
Not to mention that there are tens of thousands of lemon eaters and tens of thousands of melon eaters.
At the most exaggerated time, the post was swiping the screen at a speed of almost 5 meters per second. The post just sent sank to the second page like a stone thrown into the river.
Refresh it again, and I can't find it at all.
The server was not squeezed and paralyzed, it seems that the operator has also spent a lot of money!
After reading the announcement, Bunny glanced at the number of reservations.
Good guy, it was 23333 a few minutes ago, and it took only a blink of an eye to jump to 27777 and go directly to the 30,000 mark!
Are these people doing the questions so fast?!
...
The Cowboy Club group.
No one discusses the new version on the official website, so everyone can only go to their own small groups to discuss.
WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "It's comfortable! My contribution point is just enough to reach 10,000, and I will directly ascend to Intermediate Citizenship! ☆=(ゝω･)/"
8th Level Gale: "I have 12,000, so it is still useful to accumulate contributions points."
Scrambled Eggs: "Hey, I'm still 2000 short, how did you do it? How come so fast!"
Quit Smoking: "Exactly! I just arrived at the Citizen level, you guys are too exaggerated!(」°ロ°)」"
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Great, you can buy land again! (〇*>∀<)ゞ★☆"
The citizenship level requires 2000 contribution points, which is almost five times that of Intermediate citizenship.
However, this does not mean that it is five times more difficult to upgrade from a citizen to Intermediate citizenship. After all, as the level increases, the income of the task also increases simultaneously.
If you are serious, you can get there in about a month. If you are more casual, two or three months are enough. You can guarantee 120 points per day, not to mention that after LV5, many tasks will directly go to the level of 200~500. As long as the equipment and The level has gone up, and the contribution is still very fast.
For example, the group owners and dog managers have been brushing the books of the greenhouse ruins recently. The silver coins and contribution income are basically four digits, and the contribution will be slightly higher. The average daily income can be as high as 600 tribute, and if it is as low as 400 tribute.
Some life professional players are similar, such as Mosquito, the warehouse has long-term orders for making nitrocellulose, and the demand for this has been strong for a long time.
Especially after the regional prestige system was updated in version 0.8, the material donation function was opened, and life players have another way to make contributions.
As long as you donate strategic materials, you can not only get the prestige of the "capital" region, but also get some general contribution points of this faction!
10,000 points of contribution is really not a lot.
The topic quickly changed to the newly added career system and skill proficiency system.
Tomorrow Seeker: "I logged into the game just now, and my proficiency in archery is actually 4."
Badass Bunny: "It seems that the previous proficiency has also been counted."
Tomorrow Seeker: "To be precise, it should be the proficiency accumulated after getting the VM. You can make a bold guess, maybe our current proficiency level is designed based on those behavioral data."
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "The manager collected our personal information through the VM."
8th Level Gale: "Speaking of Tomorrow, what profession do you plan to bring?"
Tomorrow Seeker: "Intermediate citizens can bring three. In my case, hunters, soldiers, and prospectors are tentative."
8th Level Gale: "Without scavengers?"
Tomorrow Seeker: "There are not enough grids, there is no way. Hunters must bring them, and the magic weapon for money, even the hunting income bonus. Needless to say, the soldiers are probably the son of the version, and they have not been updated recently. Is it a tribe? There is definitely a chance to use it. Do prospectors still need to talk about it? The ruins of the ecological laboratory are also estimated to be a high-income capital."
Quit Smoking: "Boss! What career should newcomers take?"
Tomorrow Seeker: "You are in the physique department. If you are in the strength department, you can get a lumberjack first and brush up the strength attribute. If you are talking about physique and perception, you can get a scavenger. This profession is a panacea. You can bring a hunter after you have been promoted to a citizen. Or soldiers, depending on how you plan to play this version."
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Picking up trash is always a god level carrier choice in this game! I don't care, I want to pick up trash anyway.＼(★^∀^★)／"
Picking Up Trash Level 99: "Who is calling me???"
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Hey! You're still in the group."
Picking Up Trash Level 99: "Damn! Look, are you speaking human language?"
Since the last battle, this lizard dude has been "Hibernating" and hasn't been bubbling in the group recently.
8th Level Gale: "By the way, have you checked out the new map?"
Tomorrow Seeker: "I'm planning to go, do you want to go together?"
8th Level Gale: "Let's go!"
Badass Bunny: "Eh? You won't be in class for a while?"
8th Level Gale: "There is no class this morning, I can play until 12 o'clock when I get off the assembly line."
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Coincidentally, I don't have class all day today, so I can reward myself for the whole day."
Badass Bunny: "You guys should take it easy, don't play games every day, don't talk about a girlfriend in college, and be careful of being cheated in the society."
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Hehe, what should we talk about? Is it cooking that doesn't taste good or games that don't taste good? You go and roll, I have enough for a Yuki."
8th Level Gale: "This sentence feels a little weird."
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "By the way, don't talk about me all the time. When I go to the cafeteria, I occasionally meet a school girl who asks for my contact number. What are you doing? You are almost thirty, and still go online and play games on time every day. You are so self-disciplined that you don't have sex. Life, is it appropriate to lie flat like this?"
Tomorrow Seeker: "Tsk, someone kicks this person's ass for me."
8th Level Gale: "+1, and it's not that I don't want to, it's just that it's boring."
Badass Bunny: "I'll open a poll and post it."
[The group owner launched a vote: whether to kick Get Up Ten Times A Night. 1. Yes, 2. Agree]
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Hey! What about friendship? Also, why the hell are both options kicking me out!"
Picking Up Trash Level 99: "Hahahaha, who wants you to spread hatred, you should kick out!"
We are all old friends, usually just a joke, naturally it is impossible to really kick.
The group owner had something to do during the day, so he didn't go online with him.
Tomorrow, Gale, and Walker had breakfast, made an appointment to put on their helmets again, and quickly returned to the line.
I thought there would be a lot of people queuing in front of the elevator tower on the B2 floor, but when they came to the lobby, they found that there were not as many people as expected.
Take a closer look, good guy, there is actually a new safe passage next to the elevator tower!
There was a wall here before?
It seems that the operator is also aware of the problem of insufficient elevator capacity in the shelter.
With the opening of the B3 floor, players who do not want to wait for the elevator can now move between the opened floors through the stairs.
It would be great if we could upgrade the elevator outside as well!
Come to the B3 floor.
Tomorrow glanced around, stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, before giving his own evaluation.
"The layout here looks quite similar to the B2 floor."
Walker also said.
"It can't be said that they are very similar, they are exactly the same."
Gale looked at the wall beside him, where a floor plan was reflected.
"There is still a little difference. Look at the corridor between Area A and Area B. At the end of the corridor in Area B2 is a locked warehouse. In the same location on the B3 floor, the space is obviously several times larger. There are a few more areas to explore."
"Well, I noticed it just now," Tomorrow nodded, "It seems that the core area of the new floor is there... Anyway, let's go and have a look."
As he spoke, Tomorrow walked ahead, leading the two of them to explore the corridor.
After passing through Area A and Area B, the first thing you pass by is a white room.
Judging from the operating table-like reclining chair in the center of the room, as well as the layout and decoration of the room, it seems to be an infirmary or a similar place.
When the three of them stood at the door, there was already a female player with short hair and a high ponytail inside.
Looking around, Sisi said in surprise.
"It's actually an infirmary, and it feels like a medical laboratory... By the way, the door inside can't be opened?"
Tail: "Huh? How does Sisi know so much? Is it because she goes there often?"
Sisi: "That's true, but I'm here to see a doctor."
Although it is a pathology department with a relatively low sense of presence, and the daily contact with formalin is more than that of living people, but it can barely be regarded as treating people, right?
Tail: "Doctor! I'm sick, give me handsome Doctor too!"
Sisi stretched out his hands listlessly, making a ghostly catch.
"I'm looking at the brain. I have to cut it open to see it."
Tail: "!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ"
Sisi: "Hey, how did you send out the kaomoji in the game?"
Looking at the two behind the glass wall, the three gentlemen were silent for a while, and unanimously decided that it would be better not to disturb them.
Tomorrow: "Let's visit another place."
Walker: "I agree."
Gale didn't speak, but nodded.
The three continued to move forward, and then they passed by a planting area full of science fiction.
There is not a grain of soil in the entire planting area, only the planting unit shaped like a fish tank——according to the setting on the official website, it seems to be called this.
Gale glanced at the VM, and was surprised to find that the name of each facility and the brief introduction of the facility's functions were updated on the small map.
It seems that this Alpha 0.9 version update is far more than just the occupation system, but also secretly changed some in-game settings.
Good. Finally, you don't have to rely on your imagination!
"From the map on the VM, it seems that this is the planting area... The theoretical planting area is 8 acres."
"Is there 50 acres here?"
"There are 50 shelf-like three-dimensional planting units. I guess it means that each three-dimensional planting unit is equivalent to 666.5 square meters of land."
It is said that there are already ruins of greenhouses. Is it necessary for such facilities to exist?
Or is there a seed bank here, where the seeds of pre-war crops are stored?
Tomorrow thought in his heart.
Not far away, Red Face Boxer hugged the three-dimensional planting unit, talking incoherently with excitement, not knowing what to say.
And the one standing next to him seems to be a fisherman, "Don't talk about it".
"Get out! You don't want to touch my land!"
"What the hell, this is obviously a fish tank!"
"Your fish tank looks like this!?"
"%￥#@!"
The three of them exchanged glances, tacitly decided not to disturb them as well, and continued to walk forward.
Further ahead, there is a small room with a radiation sign printed on the door.
"This seems to be the power room?" Looking at the text on the VM, Tomorrow thought thoughtfully, "According to the information in the official website's setting collection, it should be the place for the fusion reactor?"
Walker looked around and muttered, "There seems to be nothing to see here, and the open area is very small... I thought I could see the inside of the reactor."
Tomorrow: "After all, such super-realistic technology in sci-fi games is not very easy to edit. Usually, they will give you a bunch of models to make up for yourself."
The reactor was not in this long and narrow room of less than 20 square meters. There was a thick wall and a closed alloy door in front of them.
There is a small window on the alloy door, through which the metal bracket behind the wall and the half outline of the suspected controllable fusion reactor can be seen.
Gale walked in, looked closer curiously, and gently pushed the door with his hand.
However, that door seemed to be fixed with the space, completely motionless.
Maybe this part was meant to be a texture?
Or is it that the operator hasn't figured out how to edit it yet, or has no intention of wasting time on insignificant details.
Seeing that there was no response no matter how hard he tried, Kuangfeng took his hand back and said with regret.
"Pity."
Although he doesn't think that operators can have any eye-catching ideas, it is inevitable to be curious when it comes to professional-related fields.
It would be nice to see what it looks like.
...
While the players were exploring the new content of version 0.9, Lucius, the manager of the entire shelter, was standing in the last area of the "functional area" on the B3 floor - a warehouse that was not open to players for the time being.
There are two "black boxes", one large and one small, in the warehouse.
[ Item: Black Box ]
[ Number: NO.11 ]
[ Function: Production of vital signs monitor. ]
[ Instructions for use: place in the atmosphere, connect to the power supply, input 3L of water, 300g of aluminum, 200g of iron, 100g of copper, 50g of nickel... ]

[ Item: Black Box ]
[ Number: NO.X ]
[ Function: Hibernation cabin dedicated to clones. ]
[ Instructions for use: Place in the atmosphere, connect to the power supply, input 100L water, 50KG aluminum, 30KG iron, 5KG copper, 100g nickel, 8g gold... ]
[ Available: Special dormancy cabin for clones, organic/inorganic waste. ]
The small black box was the size of an ordinary suitcase, similar to the one he found in shelter 117. And the other big one is not so much a box as a car.
At the same time, a light blue window appeared in front of Lucius—it was the data card projected by the Manager System into his field of vision.
Walking to the box numbered NO.X, Lucius found an operation manual with stick figures drawn on it from a palm-sized lid, which even an illiterate person could understand.
However...
The above did not explain what this thing is used for.
After reading the manual in his hand twice, a strange expression appeared on Lucius's face.
At this time, Sumeria, who came over from the side, muttered for him, what she wanted to say but didn't say.
"A dormant cabin for clones?"
"Hey, what is this thing for?"
