Gu Fan felt a little sweaty.

He hurriedly checked the basic gameplay and related data of Spin Cube.

Then I found that there seems to be no difference between "Spin the Cube" and "Tetris" in terms of basic gameplay!

If anything, there seems to be a difference in the popularity of the two games.

The popularity of "Tetris" is undoubted, and its cumulative sales have even reached 520 million, which can almost be said to be played by the vast majority of people in the world.

In this world, the cumulative sales of "Spin Cube" are only 230 million, and there seems to be a certain gap in popularity.

Regardless, it's still one of the most classic games in the world.

With such stable, mature and simple game rules, how can you stuff bugs into it? ?

Any changes will look like lice on a bald head, you can see it at a glance!

Gu Fan secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Lilith would change the game, at least it would be more complicated!

However, Lilith clapped the decision directly.

"I've decided, so be it!

"I'll give you a detailed design after that."

Lilith finished speaking, and quickly disappeared.

This time she didn't take potato chips or Coke, but Gu Fan could feel it, she held her head high, and seemed to be high-spirited.

"Nima!"

Seeing Lilith leave, Gu Fan also hurriedly began to study "Rotating Cube", hoping to find a reliable breakthrough from it.

……

……

The next night, Lilith brings the design of the new game.

She looked scrappy, and her previous frustration was gone.

Gu Fan asked tentatively, "Lucifer...... Praise you again? ”

Lilith was a little surprised: "How do you know?" ”

Gu Fan couldn't help but complain in his heart, is this difficult to guess?

But he smiled and said, "Oh, I'll just guess that." After all, your work in the human world has been carried out so well, and you have managed to collect negative emotions even when Michael deliberately targeted you, and you deserve to be commended by Lucifer. ”

Lilith couldn't help but straighten her back: "That's right!

"When I got back, I immediately reported this new discovery to Lucifer.

Michael was shocked to intervene so violently and directly. But after careful analysis, he also agreed with my opinion: there should be no one else who can use "coincidence" to destroy our plan unwittingly except Michael, the most powerful archangel!

"Originally, I was frustrated that the negative emotions I collected were lower than expected, but now it seems that I can achieve such results despite Michael's own hindrance, I am a genius!

"Lao Lu also commended and affirmed me, so far, I am the most outstanding demon in the whole hell!

"So, I don't need to be depressed, I should be happy!

"Now, this is the design of the new game."

Gu Fan stretched out his hand to take the design draft and glanced at the name of the game.

"Heavenward Cube"!

Good guys, that's a simple and crude name.

The design draft itself is only two pages, and the rules are very simple and clear, and Gu Fan only took less than five minutes to read it.

According to the requirements of this mini-game design competition, the participants should make certain modifications to the game "Spin Cube", but not change its core gameplay.

Then, the entries will be selected by senior judges in various fields.

The rules of the original "Rotating Blocks" are simple enough, nothing more than the fall of various blocks of different shapes, after being spliced by rotation, as long as the row is full, it will be eliminated. Depending on the number of rows eliminated, different points are accumulated.

In addition, the player can choose to "stage" a block and use it at a specific time.

Lilith's "Reverse Heaven Cube" does not have many changes to "Rotating Block", only three.

First, the setting of "Angel Descending" has been added.

Whenever the player reaches a certain number of points, the "Angel Descending" effect will be automatically triggered, adding a certain number of "garbage squares" to the bottom.

Second, the "network mode" has been added.

In network mode, 2~10 players are allowed to play online.

This mode also has the effect of "Angel's Descent", which will also add a certain number of "garbage blocks" to the bottom of the player, but unlike the standalone mode, it will also add "garbage blocks" to the bottom of other players, but the number of additional rows will be halved.

Third, the "block generation rules" have been adjusted slightly.

In addition, there are some inconsequential details between the lines, such as the effect of free fall in order to be more realistic when the block falls, and there is a slight collision when it lands, etc.

Gu Fan finished reading the plan and said, "There are not many changes. ”

Lilith smiled slightly, and said confidently, "It's true that there are not many changes, but it's enough to collect negative emotions!"

"Well, for the sake of your sincere questioning, I'll explain it to you."

Gu Fan complained silently in his heart: When did I ask sincerely, obviously you want to show off!

But he didn't say much, just pretended to be listening carefully.

Lilith explains, "Your main task next month is recruitment, and you won't have a lot of time to make games.

"So, I kept the modifications to the game as little as possible.

"However, the changes are few, but they are all critical!"

Lilith said proudly, "According to the original design of Spin Cube, there must be more positive emotions than negative emotions.

"And these three rules I designed will greatly increase the negative emotions produced by players!"

She pointed to the first two rules: "When a player reaches a certain number of points, the game should give a 'positive feedback' to be intuitive, but I prefer to give a 'negative feedback'!"

"Obviously playing well and meeting the points requirements, obviously triggering the effect of 'Angel Descending', but directly increasing the garbage blocks, it will inevitably cause players to have a lot of negative emotions.

"This is especially true in the online mode, where the 'Angel Descending' not only disgusts oneself, but also disgusts others, which can be said to be harmful to others and not to oneself. All the players who play the game together will have an explosion of mentality!

"Isn't that a steady stream of negative emotions?"

Gu Fan silently gave a thumbs up, he really deserved to be the most game-making demon in hell, and there was really something!

It stands to reason that the "networked model" should have been a "zero-sum game".

Some people are happy, and some people are miserable.

But Lilith insisted on changing it to a "negative sum game".

All are miserable, no one is happy!

And this change was done through the "Angel Descent" mechanic. When a certain number of points are reached, they will automatically add garbage blocks to themselves and other players, and even more to themselves.

In other words, in the case of "reaching a certain score", the game should have given a reward, but instead gave a penalty.

This sounds like a real way to break down the player's defenses and create a lot of negativity.

Gu Fan thought for a moment and asked again, "Then what does this third change mean?" What do you mean by "simple adjustments to the block generation rules"? ”

Lilith smiled sinisterly, "I ask you, what else is this game called?" ”

Gu Fan was stunned for a moment: "Are there any other names?" How I don't know. ”

Lilith smiled slightly: "Then let me change the question, what is the main source of fun in this game?" ”

Gu Fan thought for a moment: "The main source of pleasure...... It should be stacked very high, and then wait for a long bar to eliminate the four rows at once.

"For most players, this moment is probably the happiest moment to play Spin Cube."

Lilith said confidently, "That's right! So for many players, "Spin Cube" also has a name, called "Equal Length"!

"The vast majority of players will choose to pile up the other blocks first, then leave a gap, and just wait for a long bar to directly eliminate the four rows and get the most bonus points.

This is determined by the underlying rules of the game: the more rows you eliminate, the higher the multiplier of points.

"So, I've added a new rule to the rules: the more rows a player accumulates, the lower the probability of a bar appearing.

"When a fixed value is reached, the chance of a bar appearing becomes zero!

In other words, when the player deliberately stacks the blocks high and then deliberately leaves a gap, the long bar they are waiting for will never appear!

"That way, even if they complete the elimination through other blocks, they will still have negative emotions!"
