Chapter 333: The Story of Growing Grass (Update 1)
The production of this game is not difficult. After all, there are already ready-made templates here, so it is relatively easy to make.
But after completing this demo, he discovered another problem.
It doesn't seem... very fun.
He hopes that this game is a relaxed, happy, and relaxing game, but if it is completely based on reality, this game will be very boring.
At least that's what my own game tester Zhou Ziyi said.
According to Fang Cheng's request, he directly redid the selected playground, restored every item to look like new, painted the gate, used magic to power the place, and restored the damaged roads to their original state.
He didn't have enough mana, and he was exhausted after doing all this, but this amusement park was still empty, not even a single tourist who had fulfilled his obsession.
Looking at the few customers, Zhou Ziyi pulled his hair and asked puzzledly: "Why is there no one?"
"Maybe it's not fun. Do you want to renovate your amusement park?"
"...Great Heavenly Lord, please spare me. You might as well let me fight the devil for more than ten days."
"Well..."
The 100% restored game is actually not fun, it is too repetitive and meaningless. The process will kill the gameplay. This is what Fang Cheng learned in Tianxiong Training Center, and it seems to be quite correct now.
And Zhou Ziyi's feeling verified this, making Fang Cheng feel that bringing Zhou Ziyi here was a very correct decision.
The next step is to verify your ideas.
After letting Zhou Ziyi rest for a while, he asked Zhou Ziyi to continue working, and then removed some of the uninteresting content, leaving only the parts that he thought were interesting.
This part of the interesting content will be strengthened to a certain extent, and then continue to be verified and repeated.
After more than a dozen procedures, Zhou Ziyi was exhausted.
Although some processes did become interesting, the repetition made his brain numb and he had no idea which part was fun.
It was found that Zhou Ziyi's reaction had obviously slowed down, and Fang Cheng felt that he was about the same.
This game has been modified to have its own characteristics. I have retained all the features that I think are fun, and then handed it over to my team for them to continue to improve.
Huang Ping was a little confused when he learned that Fang Cheng had made a simulation business game for an amusement park.
In his opinion, they have a virtual reality platform and should continue to develop in the field of first-person games at this time. Simulation operations are a bit overkill.
But after playing this demo, he had to say that his boss had some ideas.
This game...it doesn't make sense!
Anyway, Huang Ping couldn't imagine why a mushroom could grow into a mushroom house by itself after being planted, with all the equipment inside. Where did such a good mushroom house come from?
The same goes for roller coasters. As soon as a drawing is placed on the ground, the designed roller coaster will grow on its own. Is there no process at all in the middle?
The restaurant's food preparation method is also very unique. All the food is liquid. Just put it in the mold and bake it, and the food will come out by itself. There is nothing in the middle.
The previous games of Fangcheng Studio were all based on reality, but this game completely goes in the opposite direction, emphasizing abstraction, the unbelievable, and the imagination.
But I have to say, this is quite interesting, and my boss is quite good at it.
In order to make it easier for players to create their own playground, Fangcheng added various magic spells and hid some of them.
And in order to be able to release the parts that he thought were fun, he integrated most of the repetitive processes into Xianjutsu. The final result is that most of the game seems a bit abstract.
But after playing it, Huang Ping felt that the atmosphere of this game was just right.
Many places are a bit abstract, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be a certain logic in it. The opening of every new project seems to be a small game that opens up people's minds, making people involuntarily indulge in starting new game projects. .
What surprised Huang Ping even more was that the game's tourist AI was also abstract and just right.
They will appear a little stubborn and will never leave until their wishes are fulfilled.
Different tourists have their own demands, some of which seem bizarre, such as insisting on playing the erhu on a roller coaster.
This request seemed acceptable at first glance, but he still needed to get the tourists around him to stand up and applaud.
I don’t know why you have such a weird idea. Who would play the erhu on a roller coaster?
And you are basing your interests on other people's lives!
After playing around, Huang Ping rubbed his head and felt a little itchy.
This game cannot be played at noon, otherwise you will run out of brains sooner or later.
But playing games without thinking is so fun!
The monkey on the side also played the game, and his expression afterwards was "Who am I, where do I come from, and what do I want to do?"
Lin Nan was having a great time, feeling that it was time to show off his strengths.
She is also a planner with a lot of imagination, but before she could only use her expertise in some small aspects, now it’s time to show off what she has learned!
The atmosphere in the studio immediately became extremely cheerful. A group of people gathered together to constantly explore their imagination and add various interesting equipment.
Even Xu Qingling joined in and began to continuously contribute her own opinions based on her own experience in opening an amusement park.
"The haunted house is too simple. We can make some more realistic content, such as setting it up as the company's grid office, and then putting a bald man here to urge you to work overtime." "It sounds scary,
but Where is the ghost?"
"This uncle is the most annoying nuisance ghost."
"It sounds reasonable, but will there be tourists coming to this shitty place?"
"Then change it and kill a tourist randomly, and then let him Come be a ghost and scare others. Anyway, other places in this game are quite weird, so this place is okay." "
Sounds good. You can also put a cardiopulmonary resuscitation device next to it for rescue, which makes it more interesting."
"You guys. What do you think is a better way to upgrade the facilities?"
"Tourists have played a certain number of times, and then use props to upgrade."
"How do you get the props?"
"When you kill the tourists, how about letting them drop them?"
"...It feels like the tourists are Didn't you die too many times?"
"It's okay, there are life-rewarding mushrooms here, just let the tourists eat one."
Listening to the inspiration that the planners kept bursting out, Fang Cheng felt that this game should be quite fun.
All the ideas were realized one by one, and the game finally came to the release date.
After learning that Fangcheng Studio had produced the next game so quickly, players were immediately filled with grief.
[I haven't played enough "Extreme World" yet. What do you mean by releasing a new game? Where is my liver? ] [Please slow down, I want to sleep for an hour or two a day. 】
【It's all Fangcheng Studio's conspiracy! It must be trying to make us useless people who would die without their games! Hee hee, I understand! ]
[Please don't be so fast. I'm so worried that you will die suddenly, but I should die suddenly first. 】
Of course, there are also sailors here who are constantly clamoring for "slow work, careful work". Fangcheng Studio is preparing to make a fortune and leave. Don't give them this chance!
There are also people who do not understand the unique art of irony on the Chinese Internet and mistakenly believe that players are really dissatisfied with Fangcheng Studio, and then think that this opportunity can be exploited.
But players reacted with disdain to such remarks.
We are having fun, can you please stop talking?
Amid the noise and players’ expectations, “My Playground” was launched.
Players flocked in, but as soon as they arrived, they felt that they had been cheated.
What about the playground?
Where's my big playground?
When the bus in the game stops in front of the gate, and players who are full of expectations come here, the first thing they see is a deserted open space, and there is no shadow of the so-called playground at all.
Lao Wang, who was live broadcasting, looked at the situation here with a somewhat confused expression on his face.
He still remembered that on the cover of the game, the amusement park looked magnificent, with an endless stream of tourists, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces.
But now, the amusement park is gone, the tourists are gone, and even the happiness is gone.
"Boss, don't be in a daze, hurry up and build your own playground."
Hearing this voice, Lao Wang turned his head and saw an NPC standing not far away, looking at him politely.
The other person was a small white cat with a gentle and considerate expression. However, Lao Wang looked at it for a while and then said in confusion: "Gonggong?"
"It's you again, Lao Wang. If you are fine, can you go out to work?" Ah?"
"I'm a game anchor, and playing games every day is my job."
"Really?" Gonggong showed an exaggerated expression, "You're such a bad guy, I thought you were a food delivery guy. You can always When I can't find the electronic mustard, send the best performance in front of me."
"Don't go too far!"
Lao Wang appropriately showed a defensive expression, interpreting an injured and outdated UP protagonist.
However, the audience in his live broadcast room didn't appreciate it at all.
[Old thief, your performance today is a bit exaggerated. I can only give you fifty points. ]
[Yes, it was said that it broke the defense, but the eyes did not change at all. You will not achieve higher achievements like this. ]
[It is recommended to wear women's clothing, which will make the show more effective. ]
Looking at the audience in the live broadcast room, Lao Wang found that these people were getting harder and harder to fool.
In the past, I could cheat a little bit and get a reward, but now these tough players are completely unwilling to let go.
If I don't do something to live out my life vigorously, I may really become obsolete.
However, he can be regarded as a high-end player, and "My Playground" is a business simulation game. This type of game can have good living methods. As long as your imagination is bigger, you will not worry about lack of traffic.
So, he walked up to Bai Mao Gonggong and asked: "You are also a novice guide this time, what should I do?"
"Huh? I thought you would do it yourself this time, busy for more than ten hours cutting down trees. , and then it turned into a joke."
"The same moves are useless to me!"
"Where did the grassroots Saints come from... Forget it, let's start the novice story. First of all, congratulations on inheriting a brand new amusement park Field, your grandfather was hospitalized some time ago, so he handed over his playground to you and asked you to take care of it." "
Wait, what about the playground?"
"Oh, his procrastination is quite good. Seriously, you haven’t built your own playground in ten years, so you have to rely on yourself. By the way, he was later scammed by telecommunications, and then he broke into the opponent’s base alone, snatched all the money back, and then returned I won 300 million after buying a lottery ticket. I was so excited that I was hospitalized."
After listening to Gonggong's emotionless background introduction, Lao Wang felt that his grandfather's experience seemed more interesting.
You are just a background, there is no need to make yourself so angry.
"You don't need to pay too much attention to the background story. Anyway, you are not interested in reading more. Let's go directly to the next step. First, you need to weed."
Looking at the huge wasteland in front of him, Lao Wang said in disbelief: "How to weed? You Can you give me extra start-up capital?"
"If you don't have any money, use your brain."
"What's the use of your brain at this time? You can't let me persuade these idiots to leave."
Lao Wang just said a joke, but Bai Bai But Mao Gonggong turned his face away and said dissatisfied: "Tch!" "
...No way, I guessed it right?"
Under Lao Wang's surprised eyes, Bai Mao Gonggong shouted: "The landlord is here, from now on This place will not be rented out. Please pay the rent and find another place to live."
After that, the ground shook.
Thick weeds climbed up from the ground and stood in front of Lao Wang.
They were green and muscular, and each blade of grass was three meters tall, but Lao Wang was as fragile as a child in front of them.
Lao Wang, who had never seen this posture before, opened his mouth and watched in horror as one of the grasses stretched out his hand towards him. The words of begging for mercy had already reached his mouth, waiting for him to speak.
However, the other party just patted Lao Wang's shoulder gently, gave a thumbs up, and showed a handsome smile: "I'm sorry, we have lived in your house for so long, and today is the first time to see the landlord. It's strange that we have lived in your house for so long. Sorry, apart from the rent, this is a little bit of kindness, I hope you can accept it."
Looking at the packet of seeds sent by the other party, Lao Wang felt that these grasses were really grassy.
And this newbie plot is too crude!
After giving these gifts, the leader continued to say to Lao Wang: "We will all know each other from now on. I am the contractor here. If you need anything in the future, just call me. By the way, if you are short of money, come here You can also find me. I have many good positions here, which are very suitable for people who are short of money."
"...Oh."
After waving goodbye to these weeds, Lao Wang finally realized what he had just experienced.
Are you chatting happily with a grass?
Could the setting of this game be so wild?
So who am I?
