On a gaming forum, a "veteran player" posted some thoughts on the game:

Don't Starve: A Game of Endless Possibilities

"Two months ago, at the Peacock press conference, I saw that the game "Don't Starve" was a "sandbox game" gimmick, and I was a little scoffing at it. The concept of "sandbox" is derived from "sandbox", but it has a completely different concept from sandbox games.

"When we were kids, we all used to see sand piles next to construction sites and play with them. When playing with sand, I will dig holes, build houses with sand and stones, and in some cases, I will also get some grass and branches, and enjoy the fun of creating. Later, this was extended to the sandbox. ”

"Sandbox games, the most important thing is to create and destroy. The biggest difference between the RPG games we play most of the time and sandbox games is that in RPG games, unless those specially set buildings, plants, terrain, etc. can be modified, most of the rest of the game content is unmodifiable. But sandbox games are different, they allow players to destroy and create at will. ”

"So when Abel, the fat guy at the press conference, said that this was a sandbox game, I didn't believe it. After all, this concept has been proposed for a long time, but no game manufacturer can really make it. When Abel mentioned Liu Nengneng's name, I hesitated a little, but I still didn't believe it. ”

"It wasn't until a week ago, when I actually started playing the game, that I realized what a surprise Brother and Abel had brought us."

"Admittedly, Don't Starve has yet to completely destroy the terrain, such as the terrain, which is a pity, but it is also reasonable...... When we played with the sand, we didn't think about destroying the concrete floor under the sand. But Yo Xi's infinite creative gameplay is really surprising. ”

"Here you can start with a small branch, then make axes, bows and arrows, torches, campfires, huts, raise all kinds of animals, plant trees, grow all kinds of crops, and make all kinds of equipment for yourself. Although there are many things that can be done, in reality in the early stages, because of the threat of death, you have to play according to some preset paths. ”

"Quite unlike other games, there's no beginner guide at all - of course, if one day you are really abandoned into an unknown world, there will certainly be no beginner guide to tell you how to live in this world. All you need to do is try to survive. ”

"I believe that what Fat Abel said at the press conference that players can play the game without hindrance is a joke. After all, I think that any player who has immersed himself in this game world has died countless times before he can barely sum up some experience. ”

"Many players complained that there was no guide for this game, and the official did not release any strategies or information. I think that's actually more interesting, isn't it? Aside from all the external conditions, you have to immerse yourself in the game, slowly explore, and slowly understand the world in order to know how to play the game "Don't Starve". ”

"The official didn't release the strategy, and I think the more important reason is that the official didn't give us a preset box to experience the game along this box, but it means that we can play at will in our own way. There are no presets, but the possibilities are endless. Of course, this is just my personal understanding. ”

"As for the so-called official sources, they are also based on the same reasons. If you encounter a boss, go to see how to fight the strategy, what weapon is the most efficient, whether the boss has weaknesses, and then follow the instructions on the information to fight the boss, and then win. That's what the experience is.

But if you play completely on your own, and you win in the end, the sense of accomplishment rises exponentially. I've seen a lot of hungry friends at night who have released some monster information and playing styles, but I firmly believe that at the beginning of the design, these bosses have a lot of ways to play, in addition to the most basic plays, there must be more interesting ways to play. I think so, if Brother Neng sees this article, maybe he can give me a response to prove my thoughts? ”

"The title of the article, I said that Don't Starve is a game with endless possibilities, and I came to the conclusion after carefully studying the mechanics of this game. The maps are randomly generated, the terrain is too, the monsters are too, and every time you reopen the game after death, it's a completely different experience. Seven different characters have been released so far, and I've now unlocked a third character. I tried all three characters a little bit, and each experience was different. ”

"As I said above, in the game, you can do most of the things you want to do, just like when we were playing with mud when we were kids, you can build houses out of mud, you can make all kinds of carts and cannons, you can make swords and castle towers, you can also use mud to make things and play role-playing games with other friends...... The possibilities are endless, it just depends on how you play the game. ”

"I have to say that Don't Starve is the best game I've played in the last five or six years. Of course, it also has a little bit of a drawback, for example, it's too lonely. If I could, I would like to be able to play this game with my girlfriend, and when I have a child, maybe I can play with my child, which is more fun. ”

The article was written in one or two thousand words, and the words were overflowing. However, unlike the crazy debates in general games, this game has almost won the love of the vast majority of players, and they have left messages:

"Speak my mind!"

"I'm the same!"

"Yes! Brother Awesome! ”

The post was quickly hit on the top of the hot search, circulating on various forums and websites, and even Liu Neng's Weibo and public page were given by many people to Aite, asking him to express his views and answer a few questions raised by the author in the article.

Liu Neng couldn't pay attention to this issue even if he didn't want to, so he simply forwarded the article directly on the public page, and then said: "Three things: the first one this player said is very right, each boss and monster has no fixed way of playing, or at least two or more solutions; Second, the data station didn't do it, mainly because it was busy, if you believe it; Third, there are plans to develop an online version, but it will not be updated quickly in the short term, and I hope that players can eat the current game thoroughly. ”
