At about the same time as Rogge, there was also a university professor who chose the complex mode.

Although the video game was born, it was used as a teaching tool for the farmers around the laboratory.

However, after Atari began to commercialize, it gradually distanced itself from scientific research and teaching.

However, when video games are commercialized to a certain extent, the field is subdivided to a critical point. Many video games, however, have attracted the attention of professionals.

The SimCity series is one such game.

Urban planning is an indispensable part of modern society, especially in a developed country like the United States, where a number of megacities have been born in transportation hubs.

In addition to these megacities, there are many other large cities in the United States.

In order to make the residents of these large cities feel more comfortable, and to make it cheaper to run such a large city, it is necessary to have special people to systematically plan the city at the beginning of the city's establishment, and after the city is established, adjust the city according to the new problems encountered.

Although it seems very simple to say, the headache is a headache and the head and feet are a pain in the foot.

However, the city is a system that is interconnected everywhere. Domino effect.

These changes can be abstracted to the mathematical level, but although they can be abstracted to the mathematical level, for beginners, it still needs an intuitive feeling to establish an impression of these problems.

In the past, the Department of Urban Planning used to take a hot air balloon to visit major cities every year, but the cost of doing so was really not low, and as a teaching project, it did not produce much results.

As a result, the professor in charge of the Department of Urban Planning has to worry about cutting back on expenses every year.

One year, when he was worried about going to the supermarket and wanted to buy a big German sausage to relieve his stress, he suddenly saw "SimCity" on the shelves of the game area.

When he saw this game, he was angry.

What he thought was, "Any cat or dog can talk about the city!"

You know, people like professors, although usually, are more indisputable. But they are proud of their field of expertise.

See the name of an arrogant game like SimCity. He also forgot about the German sausage, bought a SimCity, and drove home to critique the game in front of the computer.

However, when he finished installing the game and playing the game, he suddenly lost all of his anger.

By the time he reacted again, it was already dawn the next day.

In the early morning, there was a mist in the mountains, and the slight cool air made him a little sober.

Since that year, most of the urban planning department's field trips have been conducted in SimCity.

There is even a special "Good Mayor" competition.

The first place winner in the competition will receive a full scholarship from the school.

However, the requirements for this first place are different from other SimCity competitions.

It does not require how beautiful the city is, but requires the city to be efficient, have a population, balance the industry, and save costs.

The last few points will be quantified into specific scores, and the person with the highest score wins.

In fact, the "SimCity" series of games has never been very "scientific".

After all, it's impossible to ask for a video game, it really feels like it's in the real world.

However, the professor has been promoting the use of this series of games to teach.

Because although it may not be authentic enough, there is a very good point in this series of games that the game itself is logically self-consistent.

Basically, the problems that need to be taken care of in urban construction are involved, and of course, the attention to detail is often ignored because of the estimation of the overall experience of the game.

However, the attention to detail is another matter.

As an urban planner, you don't have to know how the water pipes are installed, right?

Just understand the technical specifications for the installation of water pipes, and then leave them a viable operating space in the urban planning.

And the game "SimCity 2000" made the professor's eyes shine.

Needless to say, the benefits of three-dimensionality are needless to say, after all, human beings themselves live in three-dimensional space, and compared with two-dimensional abstract things, people will have a more intuitive feeling of three-dimensional.

And in SimCity 2000, there are also many things that were only available in the expansion pack in the old game.

That's right, the SimCity series and the Sims series are also games with many expansions.

In the player's game agreement, the player is clearly given the right to adapt the game, but Wanhu also has the right of first refusal to use these secondary adaptation rights.

Therefore, often in the previous game, the player-created content that players liked very much will be added to the new game in the next game with a more complete attitude.

As the producer of this module, you will also get a special credit in the list of producers.

Of course, this is something that the average player can see.

Naturally, there is a gratuity that ordinary players can't see.

Wanhu maintains this open-mindedness in many games.

The same is true for StarCraft, for example.

Whether in the United States or South Korea, there are many StarCraft players who are not players of competitive maps, but players who make maps.

Even, some excellent players have made maps, spawned their own competitions, and have their own influence.

At a time when Wanhu was not very diligent in updating the base game of StarCraft, they were very happy to update the game map they made.

In fact, Wanhu does not update the ontology of "StarCraft", there is a set of reasons and a set of inherent logic.

The balance of gameplay is definitely not to force the player's win rate at 50%.

It's not just that the machine gunner is stronger than the machine gunner, and the mine car is stronger than the mine car.

It's a logic that requires the player to coordinate with himself.

If so-and-so tactics are strong and win all the time, there will naturally be more people using it, and other players will naturally have to think of corresponding solutions.

And after this tactic is solved, there will be fewer people who will inevitably use it, and someone will develop new tactics.

This is a spiraling process of players' self-updating tactics, and the official behavior of directly changing the game values destroys the process of such a tactical game between players.

It will evolve into a generation of versions and a generation of gods, and even if a certain tactic is powerful, they will use the entire tactic without anyone cracking it.

Why hasn't anyone cracked it?

The reason is very simple, because sooner or later the official will solve it. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
