It's just that the religion here is still simple and crude, still producing all kinds of warships, planes and tanks, but the weapons on these seemingly offensive equipment are propaganda tools, such as loudspeakers, spirit controllers, and so on; Then put a loudspeaker at the gate of someone else's city, put it up, and it's all over. What's more interesting is actually to buy other countries' cities through trade, and eventually buy the country. This requires more time and patience to do so.

A country is made up of cities, and in this stage, you have to accumulate wealth by constantly purchasing spices and then making the inhabitants of the city work. However, city dwellers can't just work without giving them relaxation and entertainment, otherwise the joy value is too low, and the productivity will be very low. The premise for the construction of more factories is that there are enough buildings for recreation.

You can design different land, air, and ocean vehicles for your city, each of which is determined by different components in terms of speed, attack, and sturdiness.

Once the planets are fully united, you'll be about to start the final phase of the game, but before you can design your own starship.

If you conquer a Religious City or a Commercial City without changing its stats, you can unlock more components for different types of starships, and you can set your main behavior for the Interstellar Age, whether it's a commercial civilization, a religious civilization, or a military civilization.

The fifth stage, which is also the main content of the game, is the interstellar age.

In the interstellar age, it depends on what kind of player you are. If you like to be a businessman, then resell spices on various planets to get money, and then buy planets in other star kingdoms to expand your power; If you are a military fanatic, then constantly upgrade your warships, and finally use war to eliminate the existence of other civilizations on other planets, and then establish your own colonies; Of course, if you are a religious person, you can also use religion to conquer planets and galaxies and expand your empire.

At this stage, you can conquer four other civilizations, build a fleet of five warships, and sail through the vast expanse of space.

The most interesting content experience at this stage is the almost endless exploration, to discover the obelisk, to discover various collectibles and stone tablets, on which countless information will be recorded, and this information will be stitched together, and you will gradually see through some truths, the truth about this universe, the truth about Grox.

You can meet and deal with countless cosmic civilizations, from strangers at the beginning to familiarity to becoming allies; The most terrifying enemy is the Grox, and when you reach a certain stage of exploration, you will definitely encounter them, a very unfriendly civilized race, and when you invade them, you will be seen as an enemy and attacked. It's extremely difficult to outrun them, and if you go and destroy other civilizations, Grox's friendliness to you will increase - in a sense, Grox wants you to destroy all other civilizations.

In fact, when other cosmic civilizations are killed by you, Grox can indeed become your ally, so that you can explore their sphere of influence with impunity, and even enter the Silver Heart. When you enter the Silver Heart, you will find that there is a message there that guides you to find a not-so-large planet on a cantilevered arm of the Milky Way. When you get here, you realize that this is the Earth, the Earth with seven continents and four oceans.

In addition to the exploration gameplay, there are more ways to play planet transformation, where you need to collect transformation tools scattered around the universe, color them, and transform the terrain to transform a barren planet into a vibrant planet with flora and fauna.

Does this game have a concept of being beaten? Of course, if you don't play for a few months, you may be able to go through all the planets, you may be able to complete all the collections, you can completely defeat Grox or become an ally, you can reach the Silver Heart, you can see different cosmic wonders such as some twin stars, or travel through various wormholes to go sightseeing.

Indeed, it can be cleared. At that time, this game will probably be deeply implanted in your mind, it is true that this is not a complete universe, nor is it a real universe, but it can make you erect an understanding of the evolutionary history and cosmology of living things.

When Liu Neng knocked down the last word of the entire design plan, the whole person was so tired that he almost didn't spread it.

Looking at the time, from the beginning to the end, it lasted 18 hours, just like that, there may be a lot of omissions in the design case, which needs to be gradually completed later. But this plan can be used as a guideline to make the planners fully understand that they are working on a plan in the ongoing stages.

The key is whether those systematic plans can be fully understood, otherwise the written plans will definitely not be up to the mark. But now he didn't have the heart to think about those things, he went straight to bed, and fell asleep in less than two minutes.

When I woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and I had slept for nearly twenty hours. Liu Neng glanced at the time, got up, and then called Zhang Yueyang and called him to come out to eat together.

Zhang Yueyang knew that he had been writing game design projects for the past few days, but he was still surprised that such a huge game could be written in just two days.

The two of them had dinner in a cafeteria, and Liu Neng threw the printed design of "Spore" to him, "Look slowly, I'll eat something first, starve me to death, and ask me if I don't understand." ”

Zhang Yueyang tossed upside down, "How many words?" ”

"About 30,000 words."

"Written in two days? You are crazy? ”

"Strictly speaking, it was 18 hours without interruption, and then I fell asleep for almost 20 hours." Liu Neng drank a little porridge first, ate some fruit, opened his stomach and then began to eat meat frantically, quickly eliminating more than a dozen plates of fat beef rolls at a speed visible to the naked eye, Zhang Yueyang was dumbfounded, "You eat slowly!" ”

Liu Neng is quite cool, he was close to forty years old in his previous life, but his body has collapsed. Now this new body, it's really young, it's delicious, although this 18 hours still fight a little, but in general, I don't work overtime at these times, and my work is not particularly busy, and then I can be a shopkeeper, which will be much better than in my previous life.

Zhang Yueyang flipped through dozens of pages of game design drafts, and the variety of settings in them was dazzling; But each stage is extremely detailed, and there seems to be nothing particularly missing.

Originally, I thought that there were so many stages of the game, and the problem of how to connect them was also solved in this design case. "Judging from this case, what you talked about before will also work. But will it be easier to do it? How long is the development cycle for your game preparation? ”

"How long? In fact, I don't have a bit of a force in my heart, I want to develop it according to a cycle of about half a year, maybe even longer than that. But in the course of this game, I wanted to start working on an engine, over there in Shanghai. ”

"Engines? Game engines? Zhang Yueyang couldn't help but be a little impressed by Liu Neng again, it is already difficult to make games, and developing a game engine is a basic thing, but it is even more difficult.
