Chapter 195: Boredom and Anger
Gu Fan turned on his phone and searched for videos related to road rage on video websites.
Lilith was quite satisfied to see that many of the normally mild-mannered people had become angry, and some of those who were already bad-tempered had become even more angry.
Especially in some foreign road rage videos, the two sides directly staged an American-style residence without saying a word, which is even more thrilling to watch.
"Good! Gu Fan, you really have a lot of ideas, I didn't misread you!
"So tell me more about how this game should be done?"
Gu Fan thought for a moment, and then spoke eloquently.
"Mr. Li, I think this game should focus on two negative emotions, namely anger and boredom!
The combination of these two negative emotions is enough to dilute the fun of ordinary driving, so that negative emotions become the main direction of the game's emotions.
"In addition, I think it's better to have a single-player game with a network connection, which is important for further collecting negative emotions."
Lilith listened with some confusion: "A single-player game with a network connection?" In other words, players are not forced to connect to the Internet at all times, and they can also play on their own devices in normal times, but add Internet access to them? Just like in "The Fire Stealer"? ”
Gu Fan nodded: "Yes!" ”
Lilith was a little puzzled: "Is there any explanation for this?" ”
Gu Fan explained: "Of course there is a saying. Networking certainly plays a very important role in generating negative emotions. Road rage, where players get road rage because of NPC vehicles, the probability is obviously significantly lower than when they get road rage because of other players' vehicles. ”
Lilith thought about it, indeed.
In contrast, NPCs can also trigger anger in the player, but this emotion is often short-lived and short-lived. Because the player knows very well that it's just a computer AI, it's all a written program and it's not a real person, and it doesn't even have its own consciousness, so what's there to be motivated?
But if it's with a real person, the situation can be very different.
"Why don't you just do it in networking mode?" Lilith asked.
Gu Fan smiled: "If you do the networking mode directly, many players will be directly persuaded to quit."
"Since we want to collect as much negative emotions as possible, of course, we try to trick players into killing as much as possible.
"In this way, if the network environment does not allow it, players can at least play the single-player mode and continue to contribute negative emotions to us.
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat."
Lilith nodded: "Well, yes, it's still Gu Fan who thinks about it thoroughly!" So how exactly does this game work? ”
Gu Fan paced two steps in the living room and briefly smoothed out his thoughts: "It's very simple, Mr. Li, we want to design this game around the two negative emotions I mentioned before, which are 'boredom' and 'anger'.
"How do you make players feel bored?
"Ordinary racing games are definitely not good. Players can race cars, they can drift, and they will only feel the adrenaline rush.
"If you want to make players feel bored, you need to be as close to the real driving environment as possible, limit speed, obey traffic rules, avoid pedestrians and electric vehicles, and preferably arrange traffic jams from time to time. At the same time, the player's driving route should be restricted, so that they are not free to drive wherever they want, but must strictly follow a fixed route. ”
Lilith's eyes lit up: "Not bad! It's really boring, but what about anger? ”
Gu Fan continued: "It's very simple, let's think about the conditions for road rage.
"We require players to follow certain routes and follow traffic rules, and if they do, they may be captured or deducted points.
"But! On top of this, we often arrange some NPC vehicles near the player to repeatedly change lanes, add congestion and other uncivilized driving behaviors to stimulate the player's anger as much as possible! ”
Lilith listened carefully and nodded frequently: "Hmm! Sounds like a great idea!
"But...... It's easy to get tired if you keep doing this, right? What if the player breaks the jar and breaks? ”
Gu Fan explained: "It's very simple, let's continue to increase the punishment!"
"If a player violates the rules, then they are punished according to the violation. Fines and deductions! If the points are deducted, the account will be frozen for a period of time before you can play the game normally.
"If a player is injured in a car accident, they must also wait for an ambulance to arrive, and then watch themselves being dragged into an ambulance and hospitalized. In this process, the player's medical expenses in the hospital will also be deducted, and the player will be in the hospital as soon as he goes online, and he will not be able to continue the game.
"If a player dies, the game account will also be frozen for a certain period of time and cannot be played.
"Also, if there is an accident on the road and other motorists get into a car accident, then the player must pull over immediately to the rescue!
"In reality, this kind of thing is purely voluntary, but in our game, it has to be forced.
"If the player doesn't save it, points will also be deducted and fined, which will further make the player have more negative emotions!"
Lilith frowned slightly: "Then what if the player goes to save it?" ”
Gu Fan smiled: "Then save it!" If the rescue is successful, a small prize will be awarded. However, the player must properly rescue the injured person according to their condition, and certain procedures must be followed.
"For example, you need to turn off the engine first, help the injured person unbuckle the seat belt, let the injured person tilt his head, keep the airway open, if there is a visible wound, you need to do a simple bandage to stop the bleeding, and decide whether to remove him from the vehicle according to the condition of the injured person......
"If a player makes any wrong moves, not only will they not get the bonus, but they will also have to deduct additional money!"
Lilith's eyes lit up: "Oh? Does this mean that the reward is low and the punishment is high? Great, that's very much in line with the design idea of our game against heaven! Anything else? ”
Gu Fan thought for a while: "Other functions can also be added as appropriate."
"For example, where does the money come from in the game? There are several different classes that we can offer to our players.
"Office workers: you need to drive to and from work on time every day, you will inevitably experience the morning and evening rush hours, and you will be deducted your salary if you are late. The monthly salary is relatively fixed.
"Taxi drivers: they need to pick up jobs everywhere in the city, and the routes are relatively free, but their income also fluctuates greatly.
"Influencer: You can live stream your own driving, but it depends on how many people watch it. Of course, the live stream takes place in the game, and the players also watch it in the game. Only when there are more people watching can you get an income, otherwise you won't have a penny.
"For other functions, you can add them as you like."
Lilith was delighted: "Good! Gu Fan, this idea is very good! Thank you for your dedication and dedication to the heavens! If you go to hell in the future, I will not do you any wrong! ”
Gu Fan coughed twice in embarrassment: "Ahem, in fact, Mr. Li, you don't have to treat me badly in the world, you don't necessarily have to go to hell." Look at your red Ferrari ......"
Lilith didn't hear it: "Okay Gu Fan, I'll write the design draft of this game myself!" You've worked so hard during this time, so take a good rest for two days!
"By the way, you tell all the backbone members, I will hold a meeting of the person in charge the day after tomorrow, and everyone will remember to participate when the time comes, I have something very important to announce!"
With that, Lilith disappeared in place.
"I don't need to write a design draft this time?"
Gu Fan couldn't help frowning slightly, he was a little surprised, and vaguely had a bad premonition.
It stands to reason that Lilith's trust in herself is getting higher and higher, and her autonomy in her work should be getting stronger and stronger.
From not being able to give any opinions at all, to being able to participate in finalizing the theme and general direction of the game, and then to being able to take the initiative to design......
Gu Fan is obviously on the right path.
But now, why is it suddenly reversed? Don't let you write a design draft?
Is it really what Lilith said, thinking he was too tired and letting him rest for two days?
How can it be!
Gu Fan knew these demons too well, and it was absolutely impossible to understand his subordinates.
There is only one explanation, and that is that Lilith's trust in Gu Fan has declined!
But at this time, Gu Fan couldn't do anything, if he forcibly wrote it when Lilith had already told him that he didn't need to write a design plan, it would cause even more suspicion.
"Forget it, then don't think about it yet."
Gu Fan has indeed been tired enough in the past few days, burning his brain with high intensity every day, and his brain is a little smoking, so he just took this opportunity to rest and cool down.
He stretched, washed up, and went to bed early.
