Terraria's Steam Review section is an interesting place to be, with thousands of reviews out there, 98% of which are positive.

And when you switch to bad reviews and look at why those 2% of people have bad reviews, you basically see this sentence.

[Still sitting on the side to read bad reviews?] Playful! 36 yuan, you can't buy it, you can't be fooled! ]

Pu Xingyu was alone in the office, looking at everyone's praise and bad reviews, and laughed very happily.

It's been a week since the release of the game Terraria.

Players who progress faster are now about to reach the last Moon Lord.

There are also a lot of derivative memes about Terraria.

Hell Drive, Corrupt Altar Knock Back Blood, Delicious and Flammable......

This game is indeed worthy of Mr. Luo's recommendation at the time: "This is a game with a high degree of freedom".

You can fly a kite in this game and be a carefree child, you can grow potions, you can be a hard farmer, you can even go fishing......

Oh, let's kill the fisherman, who has no dad and no mom.

Architecture, Circuits, Excavation, Exploration......

The whole nine yards.

After work, Tang Yunpeng, who was sitting in front of the computer, looked at the blank word document in front of him, which was very sad.

In previous years, whenever Chuxin Game Studio released a new work, Tang Yunpeng would never be absent, and he would definitely give a good review of the game.

But this year, in the face of Terraria, Tang Yunpeng found himself a little at a loss.

Is the game fun? Playful.

Is the game on top? Up.

But what's so fun about this game? Where's the top?

Seriously, Old Tang can't say it.

As a guy who takes on a game as a complete stranger and uses it for fun, Don doesn't look at any strategies.

He just followed the guide's guidance, built a matchbox house, excavated iron ore and gold ore from the ground, and then attracted NPCs to move in and defeated the boss......

"Bootstrap ......"

Tang Yunpeng hooked the corners of his mouth, he seemed to know why the game of Terraria was so fun.

On Guided Play in Terraria: Driving the Player's Own Curiosity

"It took me more than half a month to finally clear Terraria, the new game I originally started.

I even missed work in order to play the game, and while I felt guilty here, I couldn't help but think about why this game was so popular.

I couldn't get any ideas after meditating, and when I finally looked through the bad reviews of Terraria's game, I found some clues.

'Trash games, without any guidance, I don't know what I'm going to do'.

When I saw this, I subconsciously wanted to refute it, but when I think about it, it seems that what I said is right, there is indeed no guidance for Terraria.

At most, the guide can tell us some 'secrets' about the game.

Thinking of this, my mind seemed to be enlightened, and I finally had a little idea.

Chuxin is very smart, they have almost reached the peak of gameplay, and we know that there are actually many games with a high degree of freedom, such as Nature's Breath, Wanda and Colossus.

Although you can roam around the world and do whatever you want, the game will still guide you through tasks such as NPCs asking you to help you find something.

After you receive these tasks, you will be motivated to continue this game.

The makers understand very well that a game, if it simply makes you wander around, it is easy for people to feel confused and bored.

But the designer of this game, Director Pu, is different, he doesn't give you any goals, he doesn't give you tasks, he only gives you one thing to "guide".

For example, the initial NPC is called the Guide, who will tell you that there are NPCs to live in the house, that it is dangerous at night, and so on. He doesn't give you tasks, but only vague suggestions.

If we only give you a huge world and don't give you any guidance, we generally can't accept this huge game setting.

Terraria relies on the right hints to help you discover something new.

For example, after digging a tree, you can make a workbench, and after you have a workbench, you find that you can do more things, so driven by curiosity, you try to find those things.

In other words, the designers of this game have made our curiosity the perfect motivation for our game.

The designers were very clever and didn't force us to play games with boring tasks.

There's no such thing as XP/level to limit us, there's no level in the game.

That's right, I told you that you could make a house, so we went to find materials to repair the house ourselves.

I told you you you could make this equipment, so we dug into the ground to find all sorts of materials.

And each content is interlocking, to have NPCs to make houses, to have houses to make materials, to make materials to make materials, to make materials to have axe drafts, but also to be able to defeat those monsters that prevent you from collecting materials.

So we have to have the right weapons to defeat them, and to make these weapons, we have to collect all kinds of things.

In the process of playing this game, we all unconsciously complete it, and do not follow the mandatory goals or tasks given by the game.

So when we get these things and make these buildings, we will have a full sense of accomplishment and pride in our hearts.

To increase the amount of time you play, the game also has a lot of interesting premises, such as collecting all kinds of flags, hanging ornaments, designing all kinds of buildings, fishing, etc.

These things are not in my consideration.

The purpose of this article is just to hope that more game makers in the industry will get a little inspiration.

Director Pu's special kind of design, which uses the player's own curiosity to guide and attract the player, is a valuable experience.

It is worth learning from all of us. ”

Not long after Tang Yunpeng's tweet was released, Pu Xingyu, who searched for Terraria with high intensity, replied below him.

Pu Xingyu: "@唐云鹏, Brother Tang, the design idea of this game comes entirely from Brother Luo, including the previous Potato Brothers, I don't dare to take credit."

As long as the game is done well and lives up to Luoge's expectations, I am satisfied. ”

Pu Xingyu has also opened a Weibo since the Potato Brothers went online.

And such a self-explosion also shocked countless players.

"Affectionate Potato Brother and Terraria are all Luo's ideas, and Brother Pu is just an implementer."

"! Luo's idea? But Brother Pu can admit it so bravely, it's really very nice! ”

"Actually, the completion of both games is already very high, and we are all quite satisfied with you.

Mr. Luo can't do the game anyway, he gave you ideas to get the game out, and you are a great contributor! ”

Tang Yunpeng probably didn't expect this result, thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unexpected, reasonable, and regretful.

Seeing Pu Xingyu's Terraria, Tang Yunpeng was very excited.

Because of the domestic stand-alone game circle, it is a kind of luck to have a Luo Bai and a Pu Xingyu.

But...... There is only one Luo.

Also, it's hard to come up with such a character.

#初心二部游戏的实际创意来源于洛总! #

Pu Xingyu's tweet can be regarded as causing a lot of ripples.

On the same day, it was on a hot search.

After Luo Bai learned the news, he was also a little funny and a little helpless.

There is no need to divide this kind of thing so clearly, the first part of the original intention and the second part of the original heart are both the original intention, and there is no need to divide it so carefully.

As for honors.

Luo Bai felt that he had enough honor, but Pu Xingyu also had his own pride, so be it.

But I still have to talk to Pu Xingyu.

However, he didn't go to Pu Xingyu's side yet, but Pu Xingyu came over and apologized to him first.

"Brother Luo, I'm sorry, I made my own decisions."

Splitting the second part of the original heart is a bit hard to praise Pu Xingyu.

The purpose of doing this is to tell the domestic stand-alone game circle that there is not only one Luo Bai, but also Pu Xingyu.

This can set an example for domestic game developers.

Looking at Pu Xingyu who bowed his head, Luo Bai shook his head and said with a smile:

"It's a good thing that you have your own ideas, it doesn't matter.

For now, whether it is the Chuxin Seedling Program or our Chuxin Game Media, it is going very well, isn't it?

The relationship with those large domestic factories has gradually begun to ease.

As for some of the minutiae, it doesn't hurt. ”

Pu Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Seriously, when he saw Lao Tang's article, Pu Xingyu was ashamed.

Originally, when the potato brothers were in the past, although some people praised it, they didn't name it like this.

But Lao Tang really doesn't talk about martial arts, and he directly looks like he has created something.

Who can withstand this?

Looking at Pu Xingyu's appearance of passing the test, Luo Bai's eyes narrowed slightly:

"However, while I provided the idea, you've done at least two games on your own.

What should be done for a game, what is the standard for games on the market, and what type of games do players prefer.

I believe you should also have your own set of ideas, your own experience.

I hope you're ready......"

"Ready?"

Pu Xingyu raised his head suspiciously, but soon understood what he meant by Brother Luo.

Make a game that belongs to Pu Xingyu.

Make your own game? Can I really?

Pu Xingyu was a little distracted.

Has he thought about this question, he must have thought about it, but it is the first time that Luo Bai has put it forward in the open.

"That'...... What should I do with the second part of the first heart? ”

Pu Xingyu asked weakly.

"What's wrong? With such a big initial heart two, Pu Xingyu can't turn without you? ”

Luo Bai's tone of "Xiao Pu, are you taking yourself too seriously" made Pu Xingyu smile embarrassedly.

Luo Bai exhaled:

"Don't worry about this matter, it's up to you, tell me when you're ready, and the headquarters will definitely give you the greatest support."

Give the second department a vacation.,Come back then.,If you don't have any ideas of your own.,You can pick a few more projects from me.。 ”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Luo."

Pu Xingyu smiled.

The two chatted again and sent Pu Xingyu away, and Xiao Weirui, who received the news after a while, also pushed open the door of Luo Bai's office.

"Mr. Luo, take a look at these cooperation......"

While reviewing these business cooperations, Luo Bai suddenly asked:

"By the way, Brother Rui, do we still have enough money in our account?"

"How could it not be enough."

Xiao Weirui sighed,

"I'm going to have a headache to death, and I've been thinking about how to spend all this money in my account all this time."

Chuxin now doesn't make games every year, and the copyright licensing fees earned are astronomical.

In the case of limited capital expenditure for making games, the sales of each game can basically explode, in exchange for many times the profit.

That money lying on a bank account is a complete waste!

That is, through various angles such as purchasing real estate as staff dormitories, increasing investment in Chuxin Game Media, etc., it is worth spending some money.

"What's wrong? What's the new idea for our old thief? ”

Xiao Weirui joked.

Luo Bai didn't sell it, and thought:

"Now we have a lot of IPs, I think it's almost time to have a beginner's game festival to communicate with players.

By the way, you can also negotiate with the three major host platforms and friends to make it bigger and more lively.

The last time I did an event, I remember it was the last time. ”

"I see, what standard?"

The big housekeeper is still very competent.

"The main thing is to give back to the players for their support, so that everyone can have fun and have fun.

Aren't you worried about how to spend your money? ”

Luo Bai gave his own thoughts.

When I say worry about spending money, I'm worried about how money makes money! Can it be the same as yours?

But it's just a complaint in my heart.

Xiao Weirui still admires Luo Bai very much.

Not only in the game industry, but also in business, Mr. Luo is also completely different.

If he wasn't a genius, maybe Chu Chu wouldn't have known how many times he had died.

But who made him a genius? Genius always has privileges, doesn't it?

"I understand, I'll negotiate this."

Xiao Weirui nodded.

The fourth more is presented, thank you for your support to Xiao Xiao~
