Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

【Saving...】

[Your progress has been saved]

Wang Laoju woke up and got up from the bed, looking around the old house left to her by Grandpa Cyber.

The area of ​​the house is not large, with a wooden bed, a set of tables, chairs and benches, a brick fireplace, a simple patterned carpet, and a pot of green plants placed in the corner of the entrance.

There is an old-fashioned big-ass TV placed on the TV cabinet in the northwest corner of the house, with warm sunlight streaming in from the window on the side.

Wang Laoju noticed at a glance that there was a light brown gift box wrapped in blue cloth placed in the middle of the house.

【Monday 1st】

【AM: 6:00】

[Gold Coin: 500]

Wang Laoju glanced at the time with question marks on her face.

Aren’t you talking about a casual farming management game?

What the hell is getting up on time at six in the morning?

This is even earlier than when you work at [JOJA] company, right?

Get up early before resigning.

Even if you quit your job, you still have to get up early.

Then didn’t I quit this job for nothing?

"Sure enough, it's not easy for the second-generation farmers to do anything..."

Wang Laoju thought: "Five hundred gold coins should be our start-up capital. This gift box should be a gift package for beginners, right? Looking at it this way, it's a good start."

Wang Laoju walked up and opened the gift box.

【Parsip Seeds x15】

【New log record】

[You received 15 parsnip seeds! 】

[Take these and work hard - Mayor Lewis]

"The mayor is quite generous..."

Wang Laoju responded directly and put it into her backpack. When she saw that the backpack only had one row of grids, she complained:

"Hoes, kettles, sickles, axes, pickaxes, parsnip seeds, good guys, there are a total of twelve grids, and there are only half of them at the beginning... But it doesn't matter. According to the urine nature of this game, you should be able to upgrade your backpack."

Wang Laoju clicked on the flashing exclamation mark in the upper left corner and found two tasks.

[Start: If you want to become a farmer, start from the basics, use your hoe to loosen the soil, then use the seed bag on the soil to sow seeds, water every day until the crops are mature]

[Task requirements: Sow and harvest parsnips]

[Introduction: It is very important to introduce yourself to the people in the town. Some people will be curious to meet the new farmers. 】

[Task requirements: Have greeted people on 2/28]

"Say hello and parsnips, that seems to be the focus of our early work."

Wang Laoju looked around the room and said, "Let's search and see if there are any other resources. The early resources are very precious and we can't miss them at all."

After exploring around, I found that my home can be described in four words - it is surrounded by walls.

However, this exploration really gave him an unexpected gain: the TV can be interactive.

【Select channel——】

[Weather Forecast: Welcome to KOZU5... This is your first choice for weather, news and entertainment information. Now here's tomorrow's weather forecast... It will be sunny and windy tomorrow. 】

[Fortune-telling and divination: Welcome to Velvik Prophecy...Only here can you clearly hear...the voice of the elves. The elves are a little irritable today and you are going to be in bad luck. 】

[Living Off the Ground: Welcome to Living Off the Ground, we’re back with another tip for you. Listen up - a tip for all newbies out there, while you're waiting for your first harvest, you can get some extra income by chopping firewood and gathering wild forage. 】

"It will be sunny tomorrow, but today I have bad luck, plus a little reminder..." Wang Laoju wondered: "The rest is easy to understand. What is bad luck? What does it affect?"

Unfortunately, water friends cannot give an answer to this question.

Wang Laoju took all her belongings, walked out of the house, and began to weed, cut down trees, dig stones, clear an open space in front of her house, and finally hoe the ground, sow seeds, and water.

After a busy day, two and a half hours of game world time have passed, reaching 8:30 in the morning.

"What to do next? Yes, go for a walk outside and say hello to these villagers." Wang Laoju followed the task prompts in the log and left home and walked towards Pelican Town. On the way, she also collected two daffodils and a Dandelion.

When he arrived at Pelican Town, Wang Laoju greeted everyone he saw. Until he entered Pierre's grocery store, his eyes lit up and he finally understood what the five hundred start-up capital was for.

Pierre, wearing glasses and with his hair parted in the middle, saw Wang Laoju arriving and said with a smile: "Hey! You are the new farmer, Mr. Wang Laoju! I am Pierre, the owner of the grocery store in the town. "

“If you want to buy seeds, I’m the right place to come, and I’ll also buy your crops at high prices!”

[Store page details——]

[Parsip seeds (sown in spring, mature in 4 days): 20 gold coins]

[Green bean seeds (sown in spring, mature in 10 days, but will continue to bear fruit and grow on the shelf): 60 gold coins]

[Cauliflower seeds (sown in spring, will grow into large cauliflower in 12 days): 80 gold coins]

【……】

All kinds of seeds are displayed in front of you, from vegetable seeds that cost less than a hundred to fruit tree saplings that cost several thousand gold coins.

A mere five hundred gold coins is indeed a drop in the bucket.

Wang Laoju carefully selected a batch of green bean seeds and cauliflower seeds, and used all the remaining gold coins to buy parsnip seeds.

For the rest of the time, Wang Laoju wandered around Pelican Town, saying hello to the villagers, and... digging through trash cans.

Pelican Town's taverns, hospitals, grocery stores, blacksmith shops, museums and other buildings all have their own business hours, and the villagers also have their own work and schedules.

It is not easy for Wang Laoju to quickly say hello to all 28 villagers.

The map of Pelican Town is neither big nor small, but if you don't familiarize yourself with it in advance, it's really easy to get lost. He wandered all the way and came to the mine at the top of the map.

Wang Laoju found an old man with gray hair, dressed in rags and looking like a homeless man. He built a simple tent to live in this place far away from the crowds of Pelican Town.

Wang Laoju curiously stepped forward to say hello. Linus didn't even look at Wang Laoju and said indifferently: "Don't pay attention to me, I am the only one who lives here."

"It's strange that he is aloof." Wang Laoju shrugged, looked at the task, and found that there was quite a gap, and she was still far away from the 28th place.

"Is the task of saying hello so difficult?" Wang Laoju said, "I can't even find some villagers... Forget it, let's go back to farming first."

Follow the side path back to Ouhuang Farm, continue to expand the cultivated land area, and sow all the purchased seeds.

Wang Laoju found that she still had time and energy left, so she cut down trees and collected 50 pieces of wood to make a storage box to store all the resources that were temporarily unused.

I looked up again and saw the time was nine o'clock in the evening...

Obviously I didn’t do any work this day...

Why does time pass so quickly?

When she went back to bed to sleep, Wang Laoju was still wondering in her heart and complained to her water friend: "Isn't it...that's it? Do you really work at sunrise and rest at sunset?"

"I'm not used to this old thief who doesn't engage in sex work or hard-core work. I always feel that this game has lost its taste..."

Although the game is a bit boring at the beginning, the game produced by Taipingdao is known as the Yellow Turban and must be regarded as a high-quality product.

Even if the old thief released Stardew Valley to snipe Fengqi Games, players still believe that the old thief would not ruin his own brand.

Besides, there is also a message from the developer about cyber immortality and boundless mana, but the answer has not yet been revealed...

Wang Laoju complained a few words, grumbling on her lips, but still very honest physically, and chose to continue the game.

[Day 1 of Spring of Year 1]

[Farming: 0 gold coins] [Collecting: 140 gold coins] [Fishing: 0 gold coins]

[Mining: 0 gold coins] [Others: 0 gold coins] [Total: 140 gold coins]

【Saving...】

[Your progress has been saved]

[Day 2, Spring, Year 1]

The first thing Wang Laoju did when she got up was to interact with the TV and learned that it would rain all day tomorrow, which would indicate good or bad luck.

He walked out of the house and found a letter in the mailbox, opened it and checked it.

【hello……】

[I just came back from fishing. You should come to the beach for a walk occasionally. 】

【I have something to give you】

【——Willy】

"Willy? You're a good man. Gifts come from thousands of miles away, but affection is more important than courtesy!" Wang Laoju rolled up her sleeves and said, "Wait for me for a while. I'll come back after watering."

Wang Laoju took out the kettle and took care of the cultivated land. While watering, he thought -

The working capital on hand now is all in this sown land. If you want to withdraw the funds, you have to wait three days. This efficiency is too slow. I hope Willy will give him a surprise.

Master Wang, who has been busy for two hours, can finally take a break.

He jogged through Pelican Town with a clear goal in mind, heading straight for Willie's beach.

Affected by the tide, the waves ebb and flow on the shore, making waves of waves, mixed with a few cries of seagulls.

Next to the beach pier stands Willy's shop, with the word "fish" hanging high on the door sign.

On the pier, Willie, who is over fifty years old, wearing a felt hat and a red woolen top, is looking into the distance, smoking a pipe, the smoke curls into the sky, and is soon blown away by the sea breeze.

Hearing the footsteps, Willy turned his head and said with a smile: "Hey, kid, I heard that a new person has moved into the town... I finally meet you."

Wang Laoju naturally said hello and said hello to Willy.

"Ah..." Willy said with a smile: "I am still relaxing. I went to sea for a whole month before, and it was a great harvest! I sold a lot of fish. I finally saved enough money to buy a new fishing rod. "

"Here, I'll give you this old fishing rod." Willy walked up to Wang Laoju and said:

"The most important thing is to let the tradition of fishing be passed down. Maybe after cultivating your interest, you may care about my store."

[You got a bamboo fishing rod]

"The water here is good, with all kinds of fish." Willy suddenly turned around and said, "Ah, by the way, my store is back in business. If you need anything, come to me at any time."

"You can sell me whatever you catch. If you can eat it, you can sell it, haha, anyway, my dad always said that." After saying this, Willy took out his fishing rod and started fishing.

Water friend: "!!!"

Lao Ju: "!!!"

Damn it!

Can you fish in Stardew Valley?

Is pixel style fishing back on the scene?

At this moment, how many players dream of returning to Terraria!

At this moment, the player is not fighting alone!

"The fisherman is ecstatic! Hahahaha, I've decided to buy this game!"

"I, the king of cyber fishing, am back in the world!"

"A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a day of fishing for a pixel fish! My life as a cyber fisherman is about to begin again!"

"Brothers from Diao Cult, assemble!"

"I just said that it would be too slow to get the funds back just by farming. So you can also fish to support your family? It's reasonable, very reasonable!"

In the live broadcast room.

The water friends who came back were extremely excited when they saw pixel fishing, and they posted barrages.

Wang Laoju is also very excited, which means that the return of funds will be accelerated, and he can also make money by fishing.

"All eyes are on me, brothers, let me show you my skills!"

Wang Laoju found a good spot directly on the dock. An energy bar appeared above her head. The closer the energy bar was to full value, the further the fishhook would be thrown.

【Took the bait! 】

After a while, the fish took the bait, but in Stardew Valley, it is not as easy to successfully obtain this fish as in Terraria.

The moment the fish takes the bait, the game time is paused, and a vertical bar-shaped space appears on the screen. There is a fish icon in the space to represent the fish, and there is also a green rectangular icon to represent the fishing rod.

There is a narrow energy bar area next to the vertical strip space, which represents the progress of fishing. When the energy bar reaches the top, it means successful fishing.

An information prompt is displayed on the side——

[Click to pick up the fishing rod, release to lower the fishing rod, and place the fishing rod behind the fish]

The fish icon rises and falls in the vertical strip space. When Wang Laoju clicks the mouse, the icon rises in line with the fish icon. The energy bar on the side gradually rises, and the fish icon falls. When Wang Laoju releases the mouse, the icon falls, still consistent with the fish icon. The icons are consistent.

After some trial and error, Wang Laoju easily mastered the fishing skills and easily completed her first fishing trip in Stardew Valley.

[Sunfish (length: 20 cm)]

"Holy shit? That's it?"

Although the fish was obtained, Wang Laoju looked disgusted: "Isn't this easy? Isn't it too unchallenging?"

However, seeing that the fish caught can not only replenish physical strength but can also be sold for money, Wang Laoju reluctantly continued fishing.

But who would have thought that the protection period for novices in Stardew Valley is so short. Except that the first sunfish is a novice tutorial and fishing is very easy, the subsequent fishing is simply a horse-catching scene.

The fish mark goes up and down, up and down, and is very active. The length of the green buoy is too short, and the mouse click and release operation is not easy to understand.

"Mistake, mistake, I didn't do it right just now."

"Hey, what a fool! This fish doesn't have martial ethics. It's a sneak attack, but this one doesn't count!"

"Oh my God, what kind of broken fishing rod is this? How come the fish keeps running away?"

"This green buoy is so short and compact? I'm really impressed. What kind of fishing system is this..."

On the second day of spring, Wang Laoju spent a whole morning fishing on the pier.

This fishing experience can be said to make those who hear it sad and those who see it cry.

Wang Laoju was fishing for one and running for another. Not only did she not catch the fish, but she harvested a lot of garbage.

Seaweed, driftwood, soaked newspapers, broken CDs, broken glasses, you name it.

"What's wrong with calling this garbage? It's called [driftwood]. I'm really... your old mother..."

Those who know, understand that Wang Laoju comes to the pier to fish and sell money!

For those who didn’t know, I thought Wang Laoju came to the pier to pick up trash!

Wang Laoju watched helplessly as another fish ran away, and she yelled angrily:

"Cinima taught you how to play this game? Whoever wants to catch this fish, I can't catch any!"
