The opportunity has arrived, and Ke Jin didn't ink, so he took a plane back to Jianglin.

The theme of helping farmers should also be pastoral style.

Isn't that a farming game that hasn't appeared on Blue Star?

The answer in his head was already in his mind.

Stardew Valley!

This game is a weird thing.

Although it is not the originator of farming, it has nothing to do with it, and even the development of farming has nothing to do with it.

And it's also a pixel art that many players will abandon at a glance.

However, as a farming game developed by an independent game designer throughout the whole process, it almost includes all the characteristics of farming games, taking the strengths of a hundred schools and removing the dross of a hundred schools.

As a small pixel farming stream that does not have the endorsement of a major manufacturer and is not a 3A-level, it has sold 10 million+ copies in four years.

It is enough to prove that its quality has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But before Ke Jin, he didn't dare to watch this game.

After all, such a market-tested game doesn't even have this category on Bluestar.

If you take it out, it will definitely be a big hit.

Competing with myself, I don't have to do it.

But the so-called way of heaven has reincarnation.

Endorsed by the Superintendent, and exceptions are free of charge.

If you don't do it now, when will you wait?

It seems like a loss to be completely free.

But considering that the production cost of this game is not high, the capital investment will not be too large.

Besides, there are so many large-scale IP masterpieces in Kejin's hands, and when the shackles are unlocked, they will throw one out casually.

Not to mention four years, 10 million copies a year will be sold to you!

After making up his mind, Ke Jin unlocked Stardew Valley directly on the plane.

It's just that the entries unlocked this time made Ke Jin a little brainless.

At the beginning, I entered the two keywords "farming" and "leisure".

As a result, it was [Happy Farm] that was also a smash hit before.

However, as a web game, it is somewhat of a tear of the times.

If you really make [Happy Farm], free is free, but whether it can fit the Internet surfing habits of contemporary netizens is another story.

There are also requirements for helping farmers this time, and Ke Jin heard Chang Detai say that it seems that he has to help farmers and uncles sell 50,000 boxes of melons, fruits and vegetables in total.

This is the task that the gaming industry is assigned to.

There is no limit to the type, as long as it can sell 50,000 boxes, there is a background data statistics from the Huaguang Bureau, and you can see which entrance the inflow channel of buying users comes from.

Chang Detai also invited the merit to secretly reveal to Ke Jin.

This is the amount of task assignment he has fought so hard for.

The Guangzi Bureau next door started with 200,000 boxes.

The field of live streaming is even more outrageous, which is directly the task volume of 500,000 boxes.

If you can't sell it, you will directly deduct the performance bonus of civil servants.

For this matter, Ke Jin can only say, well done!

The iron rice bowls of a group of institutions take the taxes paid by the people every day, and how can they do it if they don't help the people.

But that's it.

The requirement of 50,000 boxes is no more or less, but [Happy Farm] is not easy to say that it will definitely be met.

For the sake of stability, Kejin still randomized it again.

After careful consideration.

Re-entered.

【Cuckold】【267】

Okay, yes, this time!

[Congratulations on winning the SS-level project plan for the farming game "Stardew Valley"!] 】

Ke Jin found that Brother Tongzi was a chicken thief.

Speaking of Stardew Valley alone, this game is ranked in a comprehensive position among all games.

It's definitely not in the SS range.

After all, there are too many good games on the market, and there are not a few pioneering games.

If you have to stuff Stardew Valley into the SS level in the big category, Kejin will be the first to stand up and complain.

But Brother Tongzi is a thief.

It labels a partition.

It is the SS rank in the farming stream.

It's the same as the previous "Hollow Knight" ranked SS in the 2D side-scrolling action game.

Eh, this leaves Ke Jin with nothing to say.

Only within this small subdivision, the Stardew Valley is indeed at the ceiling level.

But the system didn't seal this upper limit, it didn't give it directly to the SSS level, it left a hand, saying that there is a sky outside the sky.

After all, it doesn't know what the host thinks of the game.

In case the game is given, the host doesn't like it, or even a lifetime of black, and it turns out that it is marked there with an SSS level instead.

Doesn't this directly induce the host to rot in situ?

"Alas, poor Brother Tongzi, I am heartbroken for this family."

Ke Jin couldn't help but sigh for Brother Tongzi in his heart.

I feel that its outrageous experience can be written into a best-selling book after it returns to the system nebula.

The title of the book is "I have to be careful every day to avoid the host being rotten"

When the other systems saw the title of the book, they would definitely turn into fun, and they would all shout 'It's good-looking, love to read, and it's faster!' ', 'I can't sleep at night, and the donkeys of the production team don't dare to rest like this!' ’

Brother Tongzi, boldly publish a book after you go back, I'll be the first to buy it!

And, don't worry!

Host, I'm really growing up this time!

Mature hosts have begun to learn to use the power of the heavens.

This wave, the advantage is mine!

"Have you heard...... Mr. Ke seems to have accepted the cooperation of the Supervision Bureau, saying that he was making a game with the theme of helping farmers. ”

Kejin's plane has not yet landed, but the news has quietly spread throughout the number one player.

The game circle says that it is not small, but it is not big, and some colleagues and friends work in other factories.

As soon as the results of Kejin come out, it will definitely arouse heated discussions among the designers of those big factories.

Then the news came down layer by layer, much faster than the plane.

There was already a lot of talk in the office.

"Crooked day, Mr. Ke also dares to take it? It's too ruthless. ”

"To be honest this time, I really can't imagine how this theme can be expanded...... Isn't this wave too hard......"

"Alas, it's not incomprehensible, after all, as the CEO of the company, so many people under him have to eat every day when he opens his eyes, and he can't work if he doesn't fight."

"Woo woo, teary eyes, this wave of mine."

"If it really doesn't work, no one will play the game when it comes back, let's take a look at the crowdfunding to help Mr. Ke buy some agricultural products, and what are the task requirements of the Supervision Bureau? If there are hundreds of boxes, there are so many of us, and it is not impossible to make up a few hundred boxes. ”

"Fifty thousand boxes, like?"

“…… When I didn't say. ”

Just as the employees were discussing in a whisper.

There was a rush of leather shoes stomping on the ground.

"Mr. Ke is back!" The little girl at the front desk whispered.

Soon, the employees in the office were stuck in a state of hard work.

The first thing Kejin did when he returned to the company was to hold a meeting without saying a word.

There are only seven days, and although the company has more than 200 people, and can still find outsourced artists and programming teams to solve part of the progress, this time is still very rushed.

Pulling everyone into the conference room, Ke Jin gently put down the medium-thick plan book in his hand.

"You've probably heard some of the news, so I won't go into it here."

"To get straight to the point, this farming-themed game is called "Stardew Valley"

"To sum it up, this game is a casual and relaxing game where players can farm, fish, mine, chop trees, and even have some RPG elements."

"In addition, there is the interaction of NPCs, which makes each character as vivid as possible according to the plan, so that players can feel that they are in this town called Stardew Valley in the process, rather than being a player outside the computer screen."

"Mr. Ke, I want to ask." As soon as the words fell, some employees boldly raised their own questions.

This is also the traditional practice of the number one player.

Kejin very encourages employees to speak freely in the meeting, they can say whatever they want, and ask if they don't understand.

After all, if even the employees themselves can't figure out the fun of a game, the quality of the game can only be considered unsatisfactory just by following the plan.

It's the same as expanding the text with a detailed outline and adding compositional details to the line drawing.

If you can't comprehend the charm, the articles you write or the paintings you draw will inevitably be a little bit less tasteful.

"You say." Ke Jin replied with a somewhat encouraging look.

"It may be presumptuous to say that, though...... But what is it about this type of game that attracts players? The employee plucked up courage.

"Farming, fishing, logging, mining, these are the attractions."

"Uh...... Do these really attract players...... "Employees feel that it is difficult to get the cool points in it.

Although the other employees did not speak, there was some confusion in their eyes.

Ke Jin took everyone's suspicious gaze into his eyes, but he was not angry.

After all, farming is not the same as other game genres.

The essence of Battle Royale is FPS, and the thrill that FPS itself carries is the confident feedback of 'I'm better than you' after killing the enemy.

Coupled with a bunch of fresh gameplay and settings in Battle Royale, the employees can understand it at a glance.

"Skyline", as a business stream, is itself a relatively mature system on Blue Star, needless to say.

"Wind Journeyer" relies on picture quality and fragmented plot to get out of the circle, and the gameplay of the game itself is decent.

There are also other games under the Ready Player One.

It's all about where it's fun and why it's fun, and it's clear at a glance.

But the farming faction, if they don't extend the gameplay, they probably won't be able to understand it.

The origin of the farming game was previously a spin-off of the SLG genre, and it is difficult to trace which game first appeared.

In a game with a large proportion of strategy such as SLG, players usually have to reasonably plan multiple links such as [clearing wasteland, developing, cultivating troops, entering into battle, and attacking cities and land] to achieve the goal of making the game operate in an orderly manner.

Among them, players find the two links of land reclamation and development have fun.

Especially when there is a good reserve of food or minerals, players will get a sense of security with a lot of firepower.

Then, there was the famous "Ranch Story", which singled out FSG (Farming Abbreviation) as a unique selling point.

In the 90s, when the major game genres were in full swing, they were all the rage because of their unique casual gameplay.

"To put it simply, the reason for players to play farming games is the same as the character training in those popular turn-based games on the market at present, and they enjoy the thrill of cultivation."

"It's just that the character cultivation has been replaced with land cultivation."

There were already employees in the conference room who began to write and simply record what Ke Jin said.

He looked around the room and continued.

"It's also very easy to add gameplay to it."

"When you sow the field in your hand, you can harvest one fruit at a time, and it takes 10 days, assuming that's a given situation. So, now that I'm going to give you a packet of fertilizer, so that it will ripen in eight days, and you can harvest the fruit faster, do you feel the slightest hint of the thrill of lifting? ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the employees in the conference room lit up slightly.

Truly......

It doesn't matter if the target is a substantial humanoid character or has been transformed into a plant.

Shortening the time it takes to train them is a great deal in itself.

"Then, let's put another restriction on the land, at first you can only buy some low-level seeds in the hands of NPCs, even if these seeds are mature, they can not be sold for much money, let's say it can only be sold for 100 gold coins." Ke Jin casually wrote 100 on the conference board next to him, and then circled it.

"But as your level or playtime goes by, you get more valuable seeds. Plant them and sell them when they're ripe for 500, 1000, or even 2000. ”

"At this time, will you feel a little refreshed?" Ke Jin looked at everyone with a smile.

In the conference room, there were already employees with wide eyes.

And there was a whispering discussion from ear to ear.

“woc！ The price of fruits and vegetables! How did I ignore this! ”

"The main feeling is that in reality, expensive fruits and cheap vegetables may appear in the same vegetable market, and if you copy the reality, it will feel a little strange and difficult to throw into the game...... But we've already made games, so why do we have to seize reality to restore it 1:1? ”

"Damn, I still feel like I'm still bound by the traditional game genre, and when I say that, it seems to be a bit of a mess?"

Ke Jin took everyone's reaction into his eyes and continued to speak.

"Then, with the money we earn, we can upgrade the house we live in, or add some other farm facilities, which can give value to the game currency, and also allow players to constantly feel the output of new things in the gameplay experience, and keep them fresh. In order to unlock these new things, they have to work harder to plant them, sell them, get gold, and so on. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The employees have been a little unable to sit still.

"I'm making up, closed the loop? Is this a closed loop? ”

"It feels clearer than the idea of the traditional game system of fighting monsters and upgrading, the traditional gameplay of fighting monsters and upgrading, in order to allow players to avoid aesthetic fatigue, needs to add a lot of lengthy settings, and then let them reach a closed loop between each other, but in this way, the player's cost of getting started will continue to rise, and in the end, the complete mechanism may be abandoned before the complete mechanism is figured out. But the farming concept proposed by Mr. Ke only needs to be taken in two steps. ”

"Yes, plant and harvest, and then sell it for money to upgrade."

"Hell...... There are heads, more and more heads! ”

Seeing that the employees were already a little uncontrollable, Ke Jin smiled slightly in his heart.

Can't stand it?

I haven't done it yet!

"In addition to the gameplay mentioned above, there are also weapon upgrades." Kejin Road.

"? Can you upgrade your weapons in farming games? "The employees were puzzled.

"The weapons referred to here refer to the tools that players need to farm, even if it's just a game, you don't need to be so serious about restoring the original appearance of farming, but the tools that should be there still need to be arranged. An axe to cut trees, a shovel to dig the ground, a scythe to reap, a pickaxe to chisel stones. ”

"Essentially, other games upgrade weapons are more damaging and more enjoyable to kill monsters, so we can also use tools to make the characters farm more enjoyable. You might have to cut five times to harvest a tree, but now with the axe upgrade, you only need four, three, or even one hit, and you're comfortable? ”

Upon hearing this, the employees laughed.

Farming is more enjoyable, but it's okay.

But after laughing, I felt that what Mr. Ke said was indeed reasonable.

This is actually an improvement in essence, but the improvement of the traditional monster fighting upgrade has been replaced by farming.

But as long as there is an improvement, the player will feel good.

Ke Jin continued.

"In the same way, we can make fishing more enjoyable, because when the rod is very low at the beginning, the player can fish very hard, and they can't even catch a big fish of value. But when the fishing rod is slowly upgraded, with auxiliary tools, when the king of fish is hooked, the cool feeling will gush out. ”

"Mining is the same, we can put a few higher-grade ores first, right at the door of the player's farmhouse, so that they can see it, but if we can't mine it, they will become more and more curious about what is hidden in the ore. They will find ways to upgrade the pickaxe, and when the pickaxe is upgraded, they will naturally be eager to come and mine. ”

"In addition, players will be able to experience animal husbandry, tree planting, collecting illustrated books, map opening expeditions, battles, opening shops, and regular in-game holiday celebrations in Stardew Valley."

"There are fishing tournaments at the Snow Festival, a viewing prize at the Jellyfish Festival, a ghost maze at Halloween, and high-quality crops from the harvest season. Participate in these mini-games to get rare seeds and other rewards that you don't normally get. ”

"Even, as long as the player plays long enough, they can still get married and have children in the game."

"From a single-handed and abandoned farmhouse, he has developed into an agricultural tycoon with a happy family and a reputation for ten miles and eight towns! Immerse yourself in a village farming simulator! ”

"There are many more details, all written in the proposal." Ke Jin covered the page of the plan book in his hand and looked at the employees in front of him with a smile.

"Now, do you still think farming games don't attract players?"

The answer, no.

Because, the whole conference room exploded!

All the employees discussed emotionally, and the 'slots' came and went.

What's more, even his face is a little red with excitement.

Without it, just because the farming game that I had never seen or heard on Blue Star made everyone scratch their heads at first.

Everyone thought that they needed to cross the river by feeling the stones, and taking one step at a time.

As a result, Mr. Ke took out a Galaxy Battleship with his backhand and shouted, 'Get in the car!' We're living in the Milky Way! ’

The gameplay under his depiction is detailed and intensive.

Interlocking and uncomplicated.

There's something new everywhere!

Players are driven by anticipation in their every move!

Burst!

Explosive thoughts!

The whole conference room erupted in a fierce discussion!

"it!! I feel like something sealed in my bones is starting to flow......"

"Is this special, farming can also open up such a rich element??"

"It's always awesome! Digging Day! This idea is really awesome!! I can't figure it out, Gan! ”

"You have to be able to figure out that your name should be followed by at least a sum instead of so-and-so."

"Woo woo, I'm sorry, I actually suspected at first that you were just a swollen face and a fat man...... I didn't expect you to be a strong man of more than 200 pounds! ”

"Just listening to Mr. Ke's description, I already feel like I'm dying, there are ants crawling on my body! What if I want to play this game right now!! ”

"Are you sure this game is going to be going to take seven days? I say a number, five days!! Give me a few days off when I'm done, let me immerse myself in the experience first!! ”

"Do it for me! Do it hard for me!! Xiaomei at the front desk helped me order a box of Red Bull! I'm going to die at my desk today!! ”

"A box? One box per person! Don't let other manufacturers look at it and think that our number one player is all idlers! ”

Brothers, it's really not slow, look at the red mark on the details page of this book [10,000 words a day], there is no red mark, and the output is 10,000 words every day, but I'm used to writing big chapters, 5K words per chapter, two changes a day.

It's not like I'm touching!!

Why do some people still say that it is so slow, is it about to end?

I......

(End of chapter)
