Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

When the promotional video ended abruptly.

Everyone's hearts were heavy.

This is the first time that the entire gaming industry has used a game promotional video to clearly tell players what civilization is.

When the time span is infinitely extended, from drinking blood to traveling in space, the greatness of civilization is intuitively displayed in front of players for the first time.

However, after watching the promotional video, players gradually came back to their senses.

No……

no……

Isn’t what Taipingdao is producing and releasing this time a historical strategy turn-based game?

Why does it look completely different from what everyone knows from the promotional video?

civilization?

civilization!

This CG promotional video for Civilization VI has completely aroused the interest of players.

"There is a feeling of greatness! It is not the greatness of the game, but the greatness of time! Historical strategy turn-based game? Is it possible that we are the founders of civilization?"

"Hiss... This kind of game is my favorite. I can't wait for three days anymore, old thief. Let's put it on the shelves now!"

"Hahaha, no matter how difficult this game is, as long as I have a beginner's tutorial in hand, I will definitely be able to win it!"

"Whenever the old thief doesn't take care of himself and is particularly serious, I know that he is going to make a big move! Civilization? Is the entire civilization my game? Hehe, I get excited just thinking about it!"

"I would like to ask a newbie, since Civilization VI is a historical strategy turn-based game, it shouldn't be so hard-core that we need to read through history, right?"

"Upstairs, don't say anything, don't say anything! This really seems like something an old thief can do!"

"Who knows, how many minutes is this promotional video only? It doesn't reveal enough information at all. Just wait, I will buy it as soon as possible in three days!"

"I will let Civilization VI feel the power of my big mouse and play with it until the computer case sounds an alarm!"

"There's something wrong with what's upstairs, 12 out of 10 things are wrong. I suggest you check your browser records!"

The news, popularity and audience of the upcoming release of Civilization VI are completely incomparable to the video creations of Xu Di and Cheyou Car Dealer.

This game can be said to be the game that took the longest time to prepare and produce since the Taipingdao project was established.

Players' expectations have long been filled.

these three days.

I don’t know how many players guard Taipingdao’s official account day and night, watching the promotional video over and over again.

Hungry?

Only those players who don’t have perseverance will feel hungry!

I am not hungry because I absorb the spiritual food of civilization!

Fortunately, even if one day is like three autumns, these three days are just nine autumns.

With players counting the days in anticipation.

Civilization VI will be launched on the Steam platform at 12 noon today.

…

…

Douyu live broadcast platform, game area.

Players who needed vehicle repairs formed a long queue outside the Jinmen repair shop.

Boss Yin finished the repair work at hand and said to the players in line behind him:

"No need to queue up, the store is closing. I'm going to rest from today, so don't come to me these days."

As an outstanding graduate of the third batch of the Yellow Turban Auto Repair Class, Boss Yin is also a well-known anchor in the game area.

In the past few months, players always like to go here when they have any vehicle repairs.

Suddenly hearing what Boss Yin said, the players who were queuing up said in confusion:

"Boss, what's going on? I'm not going to play King of Bayinbrook, or I'm not going to broadcast live anymore?"

"Yes, yes, it's only eleven o'clock in the morning. Is it too early to eat now?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu boss, I deliberately crashed the car in the World Rally Championship and came here to take a photo with you!"

When Boss Yin heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, he took a photo with the friend in the water neatly, and explained:

"How many days did it take me to take the Cyber ​​Auto Repair Certificate exam? I studied day and night every day. I finally finished the exam and opened a car repair shop. I repaired it all day long."

"It was the same when I was an instructor at the Yellow Turban Driving School. The intensity of the work was much higher than if I were to take a serious class! It was too annoying and time-consuming."

“Isn’t the old thief’s Civilization VI available on the steam platform right away?”

"This kind of historical strategy turn-based game should not be too boring or time-consuming. I plan to take a break these days and live-stream Civilization VI."

The water friends suddenly realized.

Where is this place?

Car repair street!

Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged toads are everywhere.

As long as Boss Yin continues to live broadcast, if you don’t play King of Bayinbrook, you won’t play!

What a big deal!

"If you say so, then today's game development live broadcast, I must watch it!"

"It's okay, the boss is not in the arena, but there are legends about the boss everywhere in the arena!"

""Old driver, take me with you" "I'll fill it for you" "I'll fill it for you" "I won't even fill it for you"

"Hahahaha, the one upstairs is holding a bamboo shoot!"

Boss Yin took off his virtual helmet and put it on his desk.

He pulled the gaming chair and sat next to the computer, logged into the steam platform, and when Civilization VI was released for sale, Boss Yin clicked on the refresh button.

[Game name: Civilization VI]

[Developer: Taipingdao Company]

[Type: Hardcore·Turn-based·Strategy·History·Civilization·Single/Multiple]

[Price: 199 yuan]

[Message from the developer: One day in the cave means a thousand years in the world]

Wu Yin: "???"

Water friend: "???"

Any player who knows something about Taiping Dao has discovered Hua Dian.

The message from the developers has actually changed.

If it changes, it will change. It’s not like it hasn’t changed before.

But the problem is that this is the first time Taipingdao quotes poetry.

Purchase the game, download the game, wait for installation, three consecutive clicks.

Boss Yin was also puzzled and said:

"One day in the cave, a thousand years have passed in the world? What does the old thief want to express in this poem?"

He directly searched the Internet and got the explanation of the poem——

[One day in the cave, thousands of years have passed in the world. This is from the article "Zhilin" written by Yu Xi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. 】

[It is said that in the middle of the Jin Dynasty, a woodcutter named Wang Zhi went up the mountain to chop wood. He met two boys playing Go and watched from the side. When he returned home, he found that more than 800 years had passed since he went up the mountain. 】

Boss Yin was even more confused after watching it, and the same was true for the water friends in the live broadcast room.

"Could it be that it is in line with the evolution of civilization?"

Boss Yin thought for a long time and came up with an answer, but he didn't think it looked like it:

"Oh, no matter what, you will know when you play it. The game size is 12G. Let me see your true face in Lushan!"

Boss Yin clicked on the game.

Brilliant and majestic background music suddenly sounded.

It seems like countless brilliant civilizations are evolving in the computer.

【Single player mode】

【Multiplayer mode】

【Game options】

[Extra content (temporarily locked)]

【Newbie Tutorial】

【test program】

【Map Generator】

【Return to desktop】

A dazzling array of game options appeared in front of Boss Yin.

"If you don't brag, you won't be slanderous!" Boss Yin pointed at the screen and said:

"Although Civilization VI is a historical strategy turn-based game, the old thief made this game because of the high votes in the novice tutorial. So let's take a look at the difference in the novice tutorial of this game today!"

Enter the novice tutorial.

【Welcome to the civilized world】

【The journey of building an empire begins here, from humble beginnings to great excellence, and write your history. 】

【Will you conquer the world through great battles, or be the first to send your nation to explore space? 】

[Will you use your national culture to influence the world, or will you spread your beliefs to every corner of the world? 】

【Time will prove everything……】

[All great civilizations start with a great leader. From the tutorial below, choose the civilization you want to experience——]

[1: Cleopatra of the Egyptian Empire ruled a civilization with powerful allies and great city builders]

【Using Cleopatra】

[2: Gilgamesh of the Sumerian Empire ruled a vast land, and he was also a respected conqueror]

【Use Gilgamesh】

What do these options mean?

Am I now the leader of civilization?

you……

You have really hurt me!

Since everyone has recommended it, I will no longer refuse!

I! I will definitely work hard to be a good civilized ruler!

The whole world is not the land of the king.

Is it the king's minister who leads the land?

If you dare not follow, I will punish your nine tribes!

hey-hey……

Hey hey hey...

Player: "???"

No, Boss Yin is hysterical?

Why not just pop up a game option?

Is it okay to just giggle and drool?

"Wake up, boss, your civilization is waiting for you to inherit!"

"No, you jumped into the role too quickly, right?"

"Um...Boss, when you are in this state, I always feel like a great eunuch when I watch the live broadcast."

"Ah?" Boss Yin came to his senses and quickly wiped his saliva:

"Why are you so anxious? Wait for me...wait for me to see which civilization I choose."

"Queen of Egypt? Okay, just the queen!"

The narration in the background slowly said——

"From the first sprouts of life underwater, to the giant beasts of the Stone Age... to the first time humans walked upright, you've been through a lot."

"Now, start your great exploration - from the cradle of early civilization to the vast stars!"

[Egyptian Empire - Entering the World Stage]

【Cleopatra——】

[Queen Cleopatra, there will always be people who underestimate you, but you are actually very smart and resourceful! 】

[Your charm allows you to establish an unbreakable alliance with the most powerful leaders in the world, maintain your friends, and you will find yourself so unattainable! 】

【With the glory of Egypt, get ready to win the whole world! 】

[Characteristics and abilities——]

[Mediterranean Bride: Your trade route to other civilizations is Egypt +4 gold coins. The trade routes of other civilizations to Egypt are +2 food for them and +2 gold coins for Egypt]

[Ancient Nile: Fishing areas and wonders can be built on floodplains. If built on the riverside, productivity will be +15%]

[Hereditary Noble Chariot Archer] [Sphinx]

It's on fire!

This kind of pleasure of being in charge of civilization alone!

This feeling of being at the top of all mankind!

It turns out this is a surprise!

"I want to repeat the opening narration of Civilization VI a hundred times, a hundred times!"

"Kleopatra's abilities were really a symbol of civilization at that time..."

"Quick, let's officially enter the game!"

"I now understand why Boss Yin has developed such a civilization, which is truly extraordinary!"

Boss Yin nodded in agreement upon seeing this.

How could my choice be wrong?

Go directly to the novice tutorial.

At first glance, the entire game map appears to be a vast area of ​​desolation. Only the middle area has mountains and rivers, making it look like an isolated island of civilization.

Unexpectedly, Civilization VI is a game with a serious theme, but the overall style of the game is more cartoonish.

At this moment, the system prompt popped up——

[Advisor: Welcome, Cleopatra. 】

[The destiny of our nation lies in your hands, and you bear the responsibility of making it prosperous. Maybe I can be of service to you. 】

【let us start! 】

Is this the historical strategy turn-based game you were talking about?

The entire civilization is simulated on a land similar to a large sand table?

This feeling... is so exciting!

really!

It’s right to change the game and change the taste!

The King of Bayinbulak is too time-consuming!

This type of Civilization VI is more suitable for me!

[Select Pioneers: Right-click on the Pioneers to select units]

Boss Yin followed the gourd and drew the scoop. After the selection was completed, the perspective of the sand table was zoomed in.

[Advisor: Brave pioneers await your instructions to create the first city of civilization here. 】

【continue! 】

"Dingdu, is this the capital? You are lucky to have me in the Egyptian civilization!"

Boss Yin rolled up his sleeves excitedly: "Let's see how I lead Egyptian civilization to glory today!"

After completely establishing the capital.

[Advisor: Starting from this small city, you will build our empire. In order to prosper and develop, we must first understand the needs of our citizens. 】

【continue! 】

"It makes sense!" Mr. Yin laughed and said:

"My governing philosophy is to build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly!"

[The city is the foundation of any great civilization, and the population represents the size of the city. The specific number of people is displayed on the left side of the sign. 】

[The land around the city is also yours, which is marked with multi-colored borders around the city. The unique landforms in your country will have a profound impact on the potential of each city. 】

[Advisor: The city is small now, but as long as you allow it, it will continue to expand. This is God's will, and the people also trust you. 】

【Sure! 】

As he devoted himself to the creation of civilization.

Friends in the live broadcast room gradually came back to their senses.

As expected of an old thief...

This game tutorial can be said to be chewed up and fed to the players.

Meticulous to the extreme...

But in this case, how difficult is the game?

Isn’t this just a matter of having hands?

"The new book's tutorials are too consistent with imagination...it doesn't feel fresh."

"Boss, just speed through the novice tutorial. I want to see you in action!"

"Isn't this game labeled as hardcore? Why can't I see it?"

"No, what are you talking about? This is just the beginning. The novice tutorial has just begun. Can you understand the essence of the game?"

"You're here, let's take a look and then talk!"

[How each city in your civilization ultimately develops and expands depends on you deciding how to improve the land and what buildings and areas to build within the country. 】

[Consultant: Fortunately, there are abundant land resources around our city, and developing land is the key to survival. 】

"It's very much in line with my wishes. Come and give this consultant a promotion to the third rank!"
