The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 11: NPC Settings

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

After studying about NPC settings extensively, Lu Wu finally completed the setting of his first NPC. He named him Lu Mo, literally Lu’s demon.

In the game’s lore, he is the King of Beiqi’s adopted son.

For the players, Lu Mo is like the chief of the beginner’s village in other games. His role is to enlighten the players on some basic knowledge regarding the Land of Beiqi. Other than that, once they reach Level 20, they can pay 50 soul coins to Lu Mo if they wished to form a guild.

Of course, since Lu Mo is an NPC with a real soul, he has his own independent consciousness. Other than the necessary settings of an NPC, he also has his own hobbies and thoughts.

This would create many uncertainties and thus, increase the playability of the game.

After being sent to the underworld, Lu Mo started wandering around the Mansion of the Dead. Whenever he turned to look at the ruins of the mansion, his face would reveal a sliver of sadness.

After finishing all these matters, Lu Wu opened his notebook filled with his ideas on the back stories.

For now, the gaming experience should be great. But there was a lot to improve on the game’s content, such as job skills and NPC development.

Lu Wu even planned that when the player count reached a certain amount, he would release some expansion packs, and several of them are battlefields that would make fighting more interesting.

But these were only ideas floating around in Lu Wu’s mind. He had yet to do any real planning.

At the same time, Wu Guoyi, who was having a meeting at Platform173’s headquarters, received the trailer sent by Lu Wu.
