CHAPTER 87: DON'T STARVE
"In survival mode, what players need to think about is to live, and the cycle of day and night is a day. β
"When you die, a new map will be randomly generated, and the time you live can be added to the leaderboard. β
"And new characters will be added in the later stage, which can only be obtained if you survive in survival mode for how many days. β
Shao Mingze also expressed his thoughts on the game, and he was very excited.
"Well, that's it for now. β
Seeing that the planning was almost underway, Zhou Han announced the end of the meeting.
He then walked out of the conference room and into his office.
Sitting at his desk, Zhou Han turned on the computer and kept his chin up to the news of the industry.
Pei Qian's "Game Producer" was a huge success, and it was another explosive game.
Well-known game manufacturers have announced that their servers are about to be upgraded, bidding farewell to their previous titles.
......
Looking, watching, Zhou Han saw the Weibo of his own Xingyu game.
Disastrous.
It's hot!
Zhou Han couldn't help but be a little excited, this was a big step forward from success.
But when he clicked on it, his face couldn't help but turn black.
Turned three pages, but I didn't find a word of praise, is the domestic stand-alone game so unpopular?
This is a miscalculation.
For gaming companies, players are an extreme group.
When you make a good game, players can blow you to Mars.
But if you make a spicy chicken, then the reputation that has been created before may be cut in half.
"In terms of word-of-mouth, I'm starting with hellish difficulty. β
Zhou Han looked at the dozens of pages of comments behind him and sighed self-deprecatingly.
After a month or so of hard work, the first version was finally made.
Some of the absurd game screens, slightly dim tones, give people a sense of loneliness.
The background music in the game hasn't been added yet, so it feels a little awkward.
But judging from the picture, it is indeed much better than the famine in the previous life.
"The ground can be destroyed, holes can be dug, but will it take some time to recover?"
Zhou Han asked Shao Mingze, but he had a little feeling of knowingly asking.
"Not really, at least not anytime soon. β
"We designed a perfect time system in the game. β
"There is the alternation of day and night, spring, summer, autumn and winter, thunderstorms, heavy snow, strong winds, and droughts. β
"Trees are cut down and grass is uprooted, and it takes a certain amount of time for them to grow slowly. β
"In addition, wild boars, rabbits, and spiders will all follow the normal ecological environment. β
"If they don't produce offspring, you just kill them all, and the area won't spawn again. β
Shao Mingze smiled and introduced his team's work to Zhou Han.
Zhou Han's eyes lit up, although he hadn't seen the effect yet, he sounded like a great feeling.
What is the most important thing about the game?
Of course, it's fun, but what is the definition of fun?
Zhou Han thinks it's very simple, that is, the sense of substitution.
In competitive games, the winner can get a sense of achievement, which is also a sense of substitution.
Cultivating his own character and letting him slowly become stronger is still a sense of substitution.
Sandbox, subverting the traditional forced linear plot.
The sandbox game full of freedom brings the sense of substitution to a higher level.
Why are the pictures becoming more and more realistic in today's triple-A masterpieces?
Naturally, it's for that sense of substitution.
I tried it a few times, and it was about the same as he expected.
The next step is to think about what's next.
Regarding the issue of listing, the official game platform must definitely put a copy on the shelves.
After all, if he wants to sell to foreign players, he has no channels and can only count on the official.
Other game platforms will also have the last time, and the pricing is the same, which is tentatively determined to be 30 yuan.
This price, in China and even in the entire blue world, is not low, but it is not high either.
The next issue is naturally publicity, if a game wants to become popular, it can't do without advertising.
...
Game Sky, the largest gaming portal in the country.
All the first-hand news of games in China can be found here.
Some time ago, Wang Mao was demoted from a game editor to a game evaluator by the leader because he was not serious about his work.
The salary is a little lower, and I am usually more idle.
Large-scale media like this, coupled with the domestic environment, basically do not rely on this to eat.
This leads them to have three accidents, not to make a big deal, not to be famous, and not to give money.
As long as you meet any of them, they will test it for you.
Masterpieces, only a few are produced a year, and as for giving money, there is basically none.
Therefore, this position is called the retirement home of the game sky.
In the eyes of the boss, Wang Mao is a gamer.
After all, who doesn't know how to play games, just find someone to give a few hundred dollars to write thousands of words.
You're still getting a few thousand dollars in wages.
Wang Mao was about to save the sea fortress as usual when his boss sent him a message.
"Come to life, Xingyu Games asked us to give them a new game, send a review, and try to say as good as possible. β
Then I sent a compressed package.
Single-player games?
Wang Mao was stunned for a moment, why is Xingyu Games a little familiar with this company?
I think I've had an impression before, but I'm not sure.
He clicked to receive, and only prayed in his heart, don't be a Xianxia RPG game.
Especially the kind of turn-based system that you and I have no new ideas, he is about to vomit.
The last time he played this kind of game, he almost fell asleep just by watching the dialogue.
He and his boss used the same router, and the transmission speed was very fast, and it didn't take long to get better.
AFTER DECOMPRESSION, WANG MAO FOUND A FILE CALLED DON'T STARVE.
DONβT STARVEοΌ
Don't starve?
Wang Mao thought about it for a long time and didn't figure out what type of game this was.
However, this name seems to have been heard, so naturally blame him for his poor memory and can't remember.
With curiosity, Wang Mao opened the game.
First of all, there is the animation CG.
A small bird flies into the frame, and the perspective follows the bird all the way.
Eventually, the bird stops at a window, and the scene switches to the house.
The whole room has a strong gothic style, and the men inside are also dressed in gothic style.
The man's name appears to be Dr. X on the clothes.
He was doing some experiments, but there was an explosion.
The experiment failed, and he was a little frustrated.
Dr. X sat in his chair, in a daze, as if wondering why this was happening.
The radio next to him suddenly sounded, startling him.
"Looks like you're in a little trouble. β
"I have some confidential knowledge that I can share with you. β
"Are you ready?"
Dr. X playfully picked up the radio and nodded quickly.
For a moment, he was surrounded by mathematical formulas, chemical molecule diagrams, and magic arrays that he had never seen before.
Dr. X seems to have figured something out and begins a new round of experimentation.
Rats, blood, cockroaches......
It seems that the operations that only appeared in the Middle Ages appeared in his hands, and finally he built a strange machine.
"Perfect!" the radio was delighted.
"Now pull down the lever!"
"Hurry up!" Dr. X hesitated, but finally decided to follow his instructions.
"Hahaha, hahaha!"
A pair of black shadow hands wrapped around him firmly, and I don't know where it took him.
At this moment, the picture went black again.
This is the end of the CG.
