平衡性调整

October 24, 2017

因为我看到有玩家在抱怨「箱子放在一起，很难偷」。
所以把箱子之间的距离拉大了。

目前箱子还放一起的玩家，你或许上线会发现箱子被随机分散开了（别打我）。

不过这种情况，还是无法阻止的。不知道怎么破的，看一看高等级的录像，知名魔术师们怎么做的。

新角色确实很「贵」，这个贵不是在美术上，而是策略x动作游戏的平衡性，牵一发动全身。你想啊，我两年，都只做了三个角色。
一个新角色加入，所有数值和关卡都要重做 - -
跟单纯的动作游戏不一样的。所以这一整年，都没敢加，我一般是维护服务器，在服务器上略微的调整数值。

关于更新太慢

November 29, 2016

也有不少朋友劝我说：这种时候你就装死。
我听到这话觉得很难过，国内的作者和玩家之间就像是一直有堵墙。墙另一头玩家一直骂或者捧上天。。这一边作者们抱着“闷声发大财”，“沉默是金”的念头什么都不说。
我发这个通知之前，我知道自己一定会得罪一些玩家。但我真的不想再继续这种情况了。

我选择把话说出来。
我知道绝大部分人不会关心我的“实际情况”，世界不是围着我转的这种道理我当然明白，我又不是傻的。
可是，
我的“实际情况”是我唯一能说的不是吗？

或许不会得到理解，至少我是真诚的。我不用大公司的客服应答你们。不用沉默应答你们。你们至少会感受到一个有血肉，有感情的，人，在跟你们说话。

Catch Me做的太久，实在是疲惫了。

更重要的，我们都想做新游戏了，身为作者有更高的追求，而且我们组只有两个人全职，人手实在太少，所以无法保持以往的更新速度。希望能得到大家的谅解。

新游戏《无信者 - 十三号治疗室》的主题是关于雷电神官杨教授的，

关于“留下一个烂摊子就跑”的回复：

很多单机游戏，就算不更新，也不会有这种感觉。有剧情，就会有“结局”，就会有“完结”的感觉。

多人游戏不同，有人会觉得自己“把Dota2打通了”吗？

作为一个多人游戏，如果失去“运营”，停止不停的调整平衡性，停止拼命宣传找更多人来玩，就总会有“未完成感”，例如：
这里不平衡啊，怎么还不调整呢？
这个BUG好厉害啊，怎么还不修正？

在游戏售卖一般的情况下，从商业角度来说这种持续的，没有底限的投入就显得非常“不值”。

制作catch me的时候，还没有“做不来游戏工作室”。
只有我而已。
在这种情况下，去做一个需要运营的多人游戏，是非常冒险的决定。事实证明我差点玩死自己。

CM的开发比同期的Lost Castle, Home Behind, 艰辛太多了。
录像回放功能，随机生成的地形迷宫，多人互偷所需要的服务器，数据库，作为多人游戏必须封禁的修改器作弊....
还有饱受诟病的，Catch Me的美术风格，也需要对二十世纪初魔术文化的研究。
每一个都是大坑。你们也知道，这里面的很多系统都还有bug。画面也没有达到非常协调统一的状态。
所以最后的结果就是吃力不讨好。就算非常不想承认我的冒进失败了，但至少，他不算是太成功的。

说游戏怎么不好，给差评什么的，都是应该的。确实挺多问题。
Catch Me的很多问题是最初的决策（设计）造成的，如果想解决的非常好。成本已经高过了重新去做一个更好的游戏。

在上述情况下，我决定要做新的游戏。我需要新的旅程和起点。

我说这些并不是要博取同情，只是既然有人骂我，那我觉得还是需要继续好好沟通。

所以，请不要再说“留下一个烂摊子就跑”这样的话了。对于怀胎18月的我来说（苦笑），真的很伤人。

经过3个月的修改以及增加新内容，我（玫瑰狗）认为CatchMe已经可以正式发售，价格相比于现在，会有一定程度的上涨。
