”As you plan to proceed the event of Residual Satan, what I need to want you most is success, son. I hope your artwork can attain an increasing number of folks. The way forward for humanity depends upon folks such as you,” Mr. Brown mentioned with a happy smile, however he quickly added, “Sadly, it is not all excellent news. We have obtained some warnings from town authorities that whereas your sport is bringing many advantages, novice gamers are getting just a little determined enjoying this and a little bit of concern is rising amongst them, concern that has barely affected the quantity of F-Rank gamers prepared to undertake missions in current days.”

Gabe raised an eyebrow in shock. He hadn’t considered that, contemplating that he imagined that the gamers’ emotion might assist in creating their abilities. Gabe devoted himself to the utmost to have the ability to make the sport extraordinarily difficult and scary, attempting to extract the utmost emotion of concern from the gamers. However he hadn’t thought-about that it would traumatize some gamers with a fragile coronary heart to the purpose the place these gamers felt that if the sport was so scary, how scary would it not be to go on quests in opposition to actual monsters?

“I am sorry, Mr. Brown,” Gabe sincerely apologized.

Listening to this, Mr. Brown was much more happy with this child, as he was involved that Howard won’t have cared about these rookie, weaker gamers, feeling that they did not need to play his sport, however seeing the sincerity on this younger man’s apology, Mr. Brown smiled as he continued.

“Don’t fret, this isn’t your fault. To be trustworthy, that is extra the College’s fault than your fault as a Developer. Often video games from Rank E and above undergo a overview standards in order that they’ve a restrict on the problem for gamers, so gamers who simply grew to become Rank E would not expertise the toughest video games of Rank E at first, thus affecting their mindset. Nevertheless, nobody imagined that someday this may be crucial for Rank F video games.”

Listening to this rationalization, Gabe felt that it actually made sense, and shortly an thought of ​​how you can take care of it popped into his thoughts. “Mr. Brown, I feel I’ve an thought of ​​how I can deal with this…”

Mr. Brown was curious what thought this younger man might give you, as up till now, each thought he had give you had been revolutionary for the sport improvement trade. And when he heard Howard’s thought, Mr. Brown was much more delighted, considering that for a younger man to be prepared to spend Mana from his sport to do one thing like that was unimaginable, particularly not understanding that the College meant to restrict which gamers might play his sport. However with this concept, Mr. Brown knew he might return to the Headmistress and inform her that her involvement would not be crucial…

“Very nicely, Howard, along with your thought we may be extra relaxed. However though your thought is superb, we are going to nonetheless perform some checks along with your sport and make sure that it doesn’t have an effect on new gamers a lot, okay?” Mr. Brown mentioned with a smile.

Gabe smiled again and nodded. “I additionally hope for that, professor. I hope that my sport will deliver happiness to mankind, not unhappiness or psychological issues.”

After saying goodbye to Mr. Brown, Gabe returned dwelling as he labored out the thought he had for fixing the sport’s downside.

Initially Gabe had not thought-about this level and simply made the sport with a singular issue, however listening to the issues of the College and even town authorities, Gabe understood that this was essential and understood that it was his responsibility, as a Developer, to ensure the standard of the sport and the psychological well being of the gamers in order quickly as he acquired again dwelling he began to develop different difficulties for Residual Satan.

Identical to the model of the sport he performed in his different life, Gabe determined to separate the sport into 3 issue ranges.

[Casual:

A mode for those who prefer less action.

The player will be given an aim aid to familiarize them with the weapon in hand.

Enemies are weaker than on other difficulties.]

[Standard:

The game’s normal difficulty before the update. If the game is too difficult, you can opt for Casual difficulty on the YOU DIED screen.

Note: This can only be done on Standard difficulty.]

[Intense:

A mode for those who like challenges and who like the skills learned in the game to increase as quickly as possible.

Monsters will be more resistant and will deal more damage to players, making it more likely that players will die from a mistake.

The player only has one life in this mode. If the player dies the progress will be erased and the player will have to start all over again, just like in real life.

Note: It is only possible to enable ‘intense’ difficulty after the player has completed the current chapters on standard difficulty or the player’s rank is at least Peak Rank F.]

With these three issue ranges, not solely would Gabe be capable of assist gamers who have been much less expert, however he might additionally amplify the problem even additional for knowledgeable gamers, additional growing their talent acquire when enjoying the sport and making it attainable for extra gamers to have extra probabilities to succeed in Rank E. To not point out the half in regards to the participant having solely a single life meant that gamers must play the sport for even longer, as they must begin another time, which might additional improve the replayability of the sport in the long term!

With all that deliberate, Gabe set about creating this sport replace. The quantity of Mana he spent to alter the problem of the monsters was excessive, requiring 1,000 Mana Items to alter all the issue of the sport, since he wanted to simulate the monsters with kind of energy. However contemplating that he had greater than 15,000 Mana Items saved within the sport, that was no downside for Gabe.

There was truly one downside, nevertheless. He had gotten so centered on redeveloping the sport that he solely realized he was ravenous when it was already 2:30 am, and as there was no restaurant open for him to order meals, Gabe was just a little upset when trying within the fridge reminded him that he nonetheless hadn’t stocked it. He solely had some instantaneous noodles and leftover meals that was virtually spoiled.

‘Wait, video games aren’t one thing that simply let the participant take up fight abilities, proper? What if I added one thing like an Easter Egg the place the participant might discover a kitchen, and in that kitchen the participant might use the herbs they amassed through the sport to develop extra medication, however coincidentally there would even be a village lady who might train the participant cooking abilities. Or if the participant is within the fort, there’s a cook dinner that was enslaved who may train the participant how you can cook dinner… So then gamers can discover ways to make medication and likewise how you can cook dinner… After all, the whole lot for the gamers!’ Gabe thought excitedly.

Gabe’s cooking talent was not very excessive, each on this world and within the different world, so he usually had issue cooking actually tasty meals, which made him want to order meals from eating places slightly than utilizing his personal kitchen. But when he simulated a personality with good cooking abilities, this may not be unattainable!

After all, his present starvation could not be ignored, so Gabe ate a pot of instantaneous noodles regardless of feeling responsible that the diet in it was horrible, and with a full stomach he went again to his room and began to develop the setting for the cook dinner and the kitchen that gamers might use.

His creativity was superb and in a short while the whole lot was prepared, so with satisfaction he clicked the button to launch the replace to the gamers and tried to make use of the sport’s Mana to study the cooking talent that he simulated for the cook dinner within the sport.

‘Solely 100 Mana Items?’

Gabe was shocked to see how low cost this was, contemplating the sport’s Peak Rank F taking pictures talent solely value 200 Mana Items, however he quickly understood that the cooking issue was extra a matter of observe, one thing that did not require as a lot effort physique and hand-eye coordination, so he quickly discovered that. However after all, with the issue that he might solely use his personal Mana as a substitute of the sport’s Mana to study the abilities, upon studying the talent he felt his physique getting weak.

This wasn’t simply due to the only talent, although. He had additionally discovered the taking pictures talent, regardless of not having a weapon but, as that might turn out to be useful sooner or later. Plus, he had a variety of Mana obtainable to make use of, so earlier than going to sleep, Gabe purchased some elements since daybreak was already breaking and he used his newly discovered cooking talent and made probably the most scrumptious breakfast he had ever ready in both of his lives.

It nonetheless wasn’t the tastiest meals he had eaten in his life, as he did not make the cook dinner within the sport a 3 Michelin star cook dinner. That, although, would have utterly damaged the immersion of the sport, and he was already fairly happy with what he had.

‘Maybe sooner or later I can add a extra developed character on this side, so I can study higher abilities, however for now I need to deal with my priorities, as the event of Chapter 02 was barely delayed by a day, and I must spend extra Mana to develop every of the monsters sooner or later into completely different difficulties. I need to keep centered,’ Gabe thought contentedly as he lay down comfortably on his mattress and at last fell asleep.

Whereas Gabe was getting into the dream realm, some gamers have been complaining on the Sandstone Bay gamers discussion board.

[After watching so many Residual Devil livestreams, I was so excited to play. Who knew I couldn’t even kill the first zombie?]

[It’s not just you, friend. I became a player last week and also went to try out the game after seeing Amoura playing, but when I died twice in a row to the zombie, a fear crept into me, preventing me from further advancing in the story …]

[Fear? I’ve almost given up on becoming a player, if just playing Residual Devil is so hard, imagine dealing with monsters in real life? When my finger was ripped off, I immediately closed the game… I’ve never been so grateful to have all 5 fingers on my hand.]

[Stop the drama, you are novice players, your place is playing easy games for novices, leave Residual Devil to professional players like me!]

[Yes, go back to your easy game and leave Residual Devil to the professionals!]

[Professionals?! I just saw from your profile that you are only a Mid Rank F player! Stop talking nonsense and mind your own business! I doubt you made it all the way to the castle!]

[Hahaha, F-Rank players are so cute, this game is so easy, I don’t know why you guys are having so much trouble playing this.]

[Hey, my Residual Devil just got updated, is Chapter 02 here?]

[Mine too! Too bad I haven’t reached the castle yet and I can’t play Chapter 02…]

[I just read the patch notes and found out, chapter 02 has not arrived…]

[What changed then?]

[Apparently now players can choose the difficulty of the game, there’s a ‘Casual’ game, for novice players who struggle and need a little help learning to aim, in addition to enemies getting weaker, there’s a ‘Standard’ mode ‘, which is the difficulty we’re used to, but apparently the ‘Intense’ difficulty also appeared, where the player only has one life, if he dies he has to start all over again, besides the fact that the monsters are stronger!]

[Hey, this intense mode looks interesting for Rank E players.]

[Rank E? I’m a Peak Rank F and I think I’m going to try this insane mode already, it looks a lot more fun!]

[You’re lucky, only Peak Rank F players can experience the insane difficulty without having to complete the current chapters…]

[This Casual difficulty looks cool, should I try playing the game again?]

[Are you the friend who recently became a player? Livestream yourself playing the game, if you can play it maybe I’ll try that again too.]

[Heck, I want to see it too, I was so scared to try the game, if you can play being an F-Rank just a little while ago, maybe I can too!]

[Does anyone understand what EA meant by ‘There’s a new Easter Egg in the game?’]

[Easter Egg? Is it Easter, by any chance?]

[I don’t know, I’ll try the new difficulty.]

Residual Satan’s new replace did not deliver any new content material, however regardless of the sport’s story not progressing, gamers who had already performed Chapter 01 greater than as soon as felt that it sounded attention-grabbing and determined to attempt enjoying the sport in ‘Insane’ mode. ‘, whereas gamers who have been terrified of the problem additionally determined to offer the sport one other likelihood and check out it out in ‘Informal’ mode.

It might have been mentioned that Residual Satan was virtually nonetheless the identical sport, however the consideration the sport was receiving after the latest replace was as nice as if the sport had obtained extra chapters, making the sport much more viral in Sandstone Bay!
