Build a game empire from scratch

Lin You and Zhu Cixia's live broadcast did not finish all the trial content in one go.

The little princess had to go home on time and not broadcast too late, so when they ended the broadcast, the exploration of Huangliang Town had not yet ended.

This small town was designed into a small box garden led by Ye Xiaohe, hiding many small things.

The little princess is very interested in collecting pet clothes, small decorations and various pet brands with different styles.

After finding the mail address, discovering that the family had moved to a higher settlement, and receiving a cat bow tie as a reward, her desire to collect immediately aroused her, leaving the main plot alone and dragging Lin You around the town.

Lin You no longer acted like a salty fish, but seriously worked with her to find various hidden places and items.

In the end, Lin You noticed that the time was too late, took the initiative to interrupt the game process, said goodbye to the audience and ended the live broadcast.

Although the little princess was reluctant to leave and had her own room in the villa, she still got in the car and went home.

Before going to bed, Lin You was watching online news with Xiao Meng. When he heard Xiao Meng solemnly saying, "I hope Yunmeng will launch a succubus-themed cooperative game soon," he was stunned for a moment.

Then he blinked and fell into thinking.

"?" Xiao Meng turned her head and stared at Lin You intently, "Master, do you like succubi?"

At this time, the answer should be "Of course not!"

But Lin You hesitated.

So the next second, horns sprouted from Xiao Meng's pink head, and a heart-shaped tail grew from behind, dangling in the air to show its presence.

"?" This time it was Lin You's turn to have a question mark on his head.

"Change back! Change back!" Lin You's head hurt, "Learning everything will only hurt you!"

"Oh." Xiao Meng nodded, but instead of taking back his tail and horns, he changed his tail and horns into those of a young dragon.

"So Master, do you really want to play the succubus game?"

"Of course not..." Lin You shook his head in denial.

but--

Lin You doesn't do it, but people do it.

In [Cradle Project], there is already a team making a succubus-themed game.

This is not a succubus module added to the "Minecraft" MOD, but it is actually a succubus tricked by villagers. It is a reasonable succubus that is really designed around the plot and world view.

——In fact, the succubus in the module is already quite complete.

Although everyone knows that under the skin of a succubus, they are still villagers.

But if a villager looks like a succubus, sounds like a succubus, and feels like a succubus (crossed out), then why can’t she be considered a succubus?

But MOD is limited after all, and both in terms of freedom and technical support, it is much weaker than [Cradle Project].

There will inevitably be gaps in the final degree of completion and presentation.

Thinking of this, Lin You lay on the bed and opened the office software and found the registration list of [Cradle Project].

Before he could scroll down to search, the page automatically jumped to a project called "Succubus Prison".

Lin You rubbed Xiaomeng's pink head, then touched her dragon's tail twice to express his gratitude, and then reviewed the project again.

He had only briefly scanned the list before. After all, there were too many people participating in the [Cradle Project], and he couldn't even count them.

But even after scanning it casually, the unique keyword "succubus" still successfully left an impression in his mind.

It only took Lin You thirty seconds to determine that this was a side-scrolling game.

The main plot is very simple: a kind and upright explorer is hijacked by space pirates and forced to serve as cannon fodder. Together they rush into the lord's mansion of a pioneering planet and want to rob the lord's three noble ladies of their wealth and sex.

But unexpectedly, these three noble ladies turned into succubi and imprisoned them as playthings.

The protagonist's mission is to find ways to deal with the succubus while collecting clues and items, escaping from the prison, snatching back the spaceship, and finally escaping from the planet.

Lin You knew at a glance that the original design of this development team was probably a few gangsters who ran into the suburbs to rob money and sex, and then encountered a succubus.

Now it has become a space theme, just to better embed the basic world view of [Cradle Project].

One very obvious evidence is that all game processes take place in this very modern "Lord's Mansion". Everything outside is just a "texture" and has no design at all.

But this is nothing to be demanding.

Not all teams have Yunmeng’s technical capabilities and work efficiency, and can design areas outside the main line in an all-round way.

Especially when time is limited and you need to compete with many people.

It is not easy to grasp your core selling points and perfectly display them in front of players.

Most of the teams involved in the "Cradle Project" are like this. One development team even designed a primitive wilderness survival game. In order to match the world view, they also inserted an original mural of a spaceship engine into the game...

As for the core selling point of this succubus game...

Mostly it's just a matter of astringency.

Not to mention that Yunmeng is not allowed to take off her naked body, Succubus developers have plenty of ways to do it while wearing clothes!

It just depends on whether they can grasp the degree.

Lin You gave this project a star and added it to the special attention list.

At this time, there are already eight projects in this list, including Qianshan Studio's "Bubble World" and Blue Sky Studio's "Paris: The Great Revolution".

His attention is just attention for the time being.

But when the trial demos of these projects are completed and the development team has indeed proven their capabilities, Lin You will start to take action and give them more resources and opportunities.

After adding stars, Lin You touched Xiao Meng's soft dragon tail and continued to watch the fun.

The first day of trial play of "Homeward Bound" has ended, and various game media have entered the "pre-scoring phase."

And "Homeward Bound: Meow and Ah Wang Mobilization" scored quite high!

Lin You has never seen anything lower than [8.5]! Ratings above [9.0] are also everywhere.

Obviously, not only casual players, but also the media are very fond of the game "Homeward Bound".

In the media's evaluation of the game, the term "appropriate difficulty, suitable for all ages" appears quite frequently.

Through their own personal experience and observation of players' trial feedback, they determined that the difficulty of "Homeward Bound" is very friendly. Even pure novices can quickly adapt to the gameplay and get happiness from it.

They even suggested that players: After the game is officially released, if not necessary, it is best to use the [Cats and Dogs Walking Together] difficulty.

Because this difficulty is enough for ordinary players to pass the level, the simpler [Two Cats Walking Together] mode may weaken the fun of the game itself because the difficulty is lowered too much.

Players also agree with this very much, and have expressed their intention to bring girlfriends or children to play together.

Lin You didn't think there was anything wrong - judging from his experience today, the difficulty of "Homeward Bound" was indeed not very high.

Only Ye Xiaohe laughed sinisterly at these innocent comments.
