Chapter 183: So Similar to "Prison Tycoon"?
When you enter the game, you will be greeted by a rather rudimentary art style.
How to describe it?
4399?
The picture is undoubtedly 2D, and it is from a top-down perspective.
All the buildings have no roofs and directly show the internal structure; Simple lines outline walls, classrooms, and playgrounds, and even items such as tables, chairs, and lecterns are basically made up of just three or four simple lines.
As for the characters inside, it is to carry out the style of stick figures to the end, basically they are more exaggerated Q version images, only some very simple actions.
And it is obvious that these students and teachers have fixed templates, and their hair, face shape, and body shape are randomly combined, which is so simple that they don't speak.
It's even an exaggeration, this style of painting allows many enthusiasts to click on the drawing tools that come with the computer to complete it.
However, the color scheme of the game is relatively comfortable.,The proportions of the Q version of the characters and various buildings have also been adjusted.,It's still good after getting used to this style of painting.,Don't directly dissuade players.。
As for the gameplay of the game, it is a more traditional simulation business gameplay.
The player has to play the role of the principal of Henggang Middle School, mainly responsible for the school's enrollment, construction, daily management, teacher training and other aspects.
However, unlike those simulation games that are all built from scratch, "Henggang Middle School Simulation" will give players a big shelf of this school at the beginning, including playgrounds, classrooms, canteens and other infrastructure have been set in advance.
There is room for expansion around each key building, in addition to more plots outside the school to support players for more expansions.
Gu Fan spent an hour briefly experiencing the game.
Then he fell into deep thought.
Lilith was quite nervous, and subconsciously rubbed her hands gently: "How is it, Gu Fan, have you thought of any good way?" ”
Gu Fan said seriously: "I have to say that Azazler is indeed prepared this time, and this job is very challenging for me.
"Although the game's template is the usual template for business simulation games, Azarzel has done a lot of subtraction in it.
He just moved some of the content of the simulation game that can be copied directly, such as letting students be confined to the house, getting a haircut, going to the playground to run laps, etc., which seem to be obviously moved from the prison simulation game, but for those functions that can't be copied, all of them are blocked.
"As a result, the content of the game has been heavily emasculated, the player can do very little and the playability is extremely poor.
"Basically, it can be said that this game should have a theme for art, a theme for gameplay, and a theme for ideological depth......
"Except for this theme, which is more topical, there is basically nothing left.
"The most important thing is...... This game always gives me an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. ”
Lilith was a little surprised: "Huh? Déjà vu? This game uses a template.,It's normal to have a sense of déjà vu.。 ”
Gu Fan thought about it, searched on the official platform, and soon found a game called "Prison Tycoon".
"Now I know where the sense of déjà vu comes from."
Gu Fan didn't download the game, just clicked on the game's promotional page, which made Lilith a little nervous.
Like, too much like!
How can it be so similar?
The same 2D top-down view, the same rudimentary style.
Of course, if it is exactly the same, "Prison Tycoon" is set abroad, the art style is more foreign, and the villains and buildings in the game are smaller, and the construction of the prison is also from scratch.
The "Henggang Middle School Simulation" is more like doing some localized design, the painting style is more inclined to the domestic cartoon style, it looks fresh and natural, the characters and buildings also support zoom in, and at the same time the infrastructure of the school is fixed, players are not allowed to expand at will, and they can only be built in a specific square reserved.
In addition, "Henggang Middle School Simulation" is like a super castrated version of "Prison Tycoon", if you can't move, you must not move, and if you can move, it depends on the mood, as for doing some original new features? I can't say that there is nothing at all, but it is better than nothing.
Lilith was a little surprised: "Isn't this plagiarism?" ”
Gu Fan shook his head: "No."
"The law does not protect the gameplay, not to mention that these functions are basically already in the simulation business templates, and there is no legal risk to put these templates and functions together and replace them with a set of art resources.
"But...... If players find out, they will compare the price. ”
Lilith's expression became serious: "Understood, is this intentional by Azazler?" Not only did he emasculate the gameplay of the game, but he also used this theme to inspire the players' painful memories, coupled with the scribbled art style...... This game is bound to get a lot of bad reviews! ”
Gu Fan nodded: "Yes, Azazler can use the name "Henggang Middle School Simulation" to create a certain amount of heat to trick players in, but it only takes more than an hour for players to find out that this game actually doesn't have much content to play."
"Considering the price of the game and all the miscellaneous investments, it's really difficult to make a profit."
Lilith looked at Gu Fan: "Then do you have a way?" ”
Gu Fan looked at him: "If I say there is no way now, can you let me go?" ”
Lilith grimaced: "Can't! ”
Gu Fan sighed silently: "Then what else are you asking?" I'll try it. ”
……
At the same time, Wang Dawei's live broadcast room.
After some hard work, he has also successfully cleared "Ascension".
Of course, this achievement was achieved by him and the black dragon together, and the two of them quacked and killed together.
In the early stage, the black dragon is killing indiscriminately in the front, and he reads the plot text in the back; In the later stage, the black dragon was killing indiscriminately in front, and he sneaked up to use the BUG Relic Sword to put a martial art.
But it doesn't matter, you just say whether you have cleared the customs or not!
During this time, Wang Dawei also successively released some analyses of "Ascension", and the live broadcast slice where he found the BUG before also brought a lot of heat to his live broadcast room.
The audience also wanted him to play Ascension again, and it had to be in single-player mode.
On the one hand, I want to see him suffer, and on the other hand, I can also play with multiple endings by the way.
However, Wang Dawei has some lingering feelings about "Ascension" for the time being, and wants to play it later.
But what is the reason to prevaricate?
Now there's a new game!
At this time, he rummaged through the official platform and happened to find a new game that had been released recently.
The name is called: "Henggang Middle School Simulation"!
Seeing this name, Wang Dawei's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Hey? Audience friends, I found a good game! Henggang Middle School Simulation!
"Isn't that a professional counterpart? It's just right for a student like me to play!
"In this way, let's put aside the matter of clearing "Ascension" alone, let's play this "Henggang Middle School Simulation" first, and also take everyone to experience the wonderful life of the third year of high school again. After the experience, let's go back and continue to play Ascension.
"What? Are you worried that this game is too easy for me as a top student?
"Oh, no, I'm actually not a top student, I was directly escorted by the Olympiad at that time, and our high school at that time was not a college entrance examination factory.
"Besides, this game looks like it's playing the headmaster, right? Anyway, that's it! ”
The barrage didn't agree very much, and he still wanted to watch "Ascension", but Wang Dawei had already paid at the speed of light and downloaded the game.
"Huh, so fast?
"It's supposed to be a little game.
"A mini-game is a mini-game, as long as it's fun to play."
Soon, Wang Dawei entered the game.
I have to say that this game is quite simple.,There's no CG at all at the beginning of the game.,Directly to the top of a school.,Pop up an old man's standing painting and dialog box.。
This old man was the previous principal of the school, and he was retired at this time. Before retiring, he gave a few words of advice to the new principal, the player.
For example, it is necessary to improve the quality of teachers, pay attention to campus management, and implement the documents of superiors.
However, these words are actually just to set off the atmosphere, and they can't play a big role in guiding the player's play, and Wang Dawei will soon know this.
The dialogue ends, and the game pops up with a rather rudimentary difficulty selection screen.
They are [Easy Difficulty], [Normal Difficulty], [Hard Difficulty], and [Ultimate Difficulty].
Each of the four different difficulty options corresponds to a picture.
Easy difficulty: The classrooms look bright and spacious, with spacious seating and a variety of high-tech teaching equipment. The students are dressed in neat school uniforms and have neat hairstyles, and they are all studying hard.
Normal difficulty: The school environment is a little worse, the teaching hardware has become less, the students' seats have become crowded, and the tables are piled with all kinds of books. Many of the students were wearing no uniforms, had all sorts of strange hairstyles, and students could be seen fighting and playing with their phones in the back row of the classroom.
Difficulty: The school environment is still about the same as the normal difficulty, but the number of poor students has increased significantly, and their behavior is becoming more and more out of line.
Ultimate difficulty: The classroom is extremely crowded, the atmosphere is extremely depressing, and there are more students in fancy costumes, perms and dyed hair.
Wang Dawei thought seriously for a moment: "Hmm...... It seems that the difficulty of this game is mainly focused on two aspects, right?
"One is the funding and environment of the school, the higher the difficulty, the worse the school environment will be, and the funding will definitely be less.
"The other is the quality of the students, the higher the difficulty, the worse the students.
"Okay, then let's do it in one step and go directly to the ultimate difficulty!"
Once you've chosen your difficulty, the game begins.
If it's another simulation game, such as a prison or hospital-themed game, you can probably name it yourself. But this game has been decided, and this school is called Henggang Middle School, so naturally there is no such thing as naming.
When you enter the game, you will still be greeted by the rudimentary game graphics and the main objectives of this stage.
