Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

Stardew Valley is a pixel-style game that also includes farming, management, combat, mining, fishing, animal husbandry and other elements.

Such a variety of game elements are perfectly integrated, allowing every player with a preference to find the meaning of their existence in Stardew Valley.

This has also made Stardew Valley's game sales soar, making it the most popular farming management game today.

Douyu live broadcast platform, game area.

As one of the three giants in Taipingdao flight simulation, Boss Yin had just completed a customized flight on the world map. He took off his helmet and let out a sigh of relief:

"This cyber pilot is really not easy to be a pilot. Lao Ju is still cunning and changed the game first to open up new opportunities."

The game popularity of Taipingdao Flight Simulator is still strong, and the stickiness of the player fan base is also ridiculously strong.

And judging from the current trend, in the field of flying games, no competing game can match it within three years.

However, Stardew Valley, as Cheng Yaojin who broke out halfway, may not be regarded as just a pixel game, but because of the popularization of the subject matter, in today's game market and live broadcast circles, it is much more popular than Taipingdao Flight Simulator. .

This also made Boss Yin think about it, and he came up with the idea of ​​broadcasting Stardew Valley.

Boss Yin looked at the screen and asked: "Hey, what do you think if I start Stardew Valley now? It shouldn't be difficult to open up wasteland, right?"

In the live broadcast room, netizens heard this and posted barrages one after another——

"Don't fall into the trap, don't fall into the trap, this game is worse than [Civilization]!"

"The game is a good game, but it is quite difficult for people who know nothing about it to open up wasteland."

"Could it be that...boss, do you also want to go to bed at two o'clock and wake up at six o'clock, and have the King of Hell praise you for your good health?"

"If you really want to play, I have a guide for getting into the trap. Boss, you can read the private message."

Shuiyou's remarks made Boss Yin almost lose his confidence.

What the hell?

Is the development of Stardew Valley so scary?

Is this game harder than Taiping Road Simulator?

When this question lingered in his mind, he saw the guide to entering the pit mentioned by this water friend, his eyes lit up, and he quickly clicked to view the private message.

Boss Yin became more and more confused as he read these eleven suggestions.

Something is wrong, 12 out of 10 things are wrong.

He didn't get into Stardew Valley, he didn't open up the land, and he didn't check the strategy.

But this does not mean that the boss does not understand the little thoughts of these friends in the live broadcast room.

Boss Yin shook his head and said: "Isn't this right? This is obviously a reverse suggestion. Do you want to deceive me and bully me, the anchor?"

In the live broadcast room, water friends laughed loudly after hearing this.

"It's a pity that the boss found out..."

"Damn it, I just suggested that it should be more realistic!"

"Boss, let me tell you, it's worth it to be in Stardew Valley!"

"Yes, Grandpa Cyber ​​will bless you!"

"Don't read the guide. The more you read the guide, the more burden you will feel. Just enjoy the game."

Having said that, Boss Ke Yin still felt a little unsure.

He thought for a moment and decided to find his good brother Wang Laoju, who was also one of the three flying giants, and asked about the situation.

After this period of hard work, Wang Laoju's Ouhuang Farm has changed greatly. The cultivated land area has been greatly increased, and the livestock sheds, greenhouses, fodder cabins, water wells, and various buildings are all available.

At this moment.

Wang Laoju was at Ouhuang Farm, planting and fertilizing the land. She was busy for a while, and then went to the barn to milk the cows and sheep.

Boss Yin stared blankly for a few minutes.

Boy, that's no break at all.

Now the Stardew Valley live broadcasts are all rolled up like this?

Yin Lao Dalian Mai asked: "Lao Ju, take a rest for a while. I want to ask you something."

Wang Laoju paused the game and asked: "Boss, what's going on? I have a lot of work on my farm, please tell me quickly."

What did you say?

A lot of work?

Faded!

The feelings are gone!

Our relationship has faded!

Boss Yin asked straight to the point:

"I also want to join Stardew Valley, but the advice my water friends gave me is reverse advice. I want to ask you, is there anything I need to pay attention to when entering Stardew Valley?"

When Wang Laoju heard that Boss Yin wanted to enter Stardew Valley, her eyes lit up and she immediately said: "Boss, you also want to enter Stardew Valley?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Why should I find you if you don't fall into this trap? I've been broadcasting the Taiping Road simulation flight for a long time, and I want to change the game. Isn't Stardew Valley very popular recently? I'm thinking of starting a pioneering series. How about this game? ?”

Wang Laoju nodded after hearing this, then thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this game is very free. As long as you can tolerate the low scores given by Grandpa Cyber ​​for three years, you can play however you want."

Boss Yin curled his lips and said: "Grandpa Saibo's three-year agreement is spread all over the Internet. I also know it. The key is that I can't stand low scores. This is why I want to learn from you."

"We are all buddies. You have forgotten that we are all three aviation giants. We have also joined forces to complete the Taipingdao simulated flight, a domestic one-way flight challenge in cursor-free mode. Don't hide it."

Rushing here in a hurry, Wang Laoju directly expressed his greatest insights during this period of playing Stardew Valley:

"Then let me give you a piece of advice!"

Boss Yin's eyes lit up and he said, "Say it! I'll remember it!"

"You must go to bed before two o'clock!"

"I've heard this from everyone who hasn't been into the trap. In Stardew Valley, if you don't sleep at two o'clock, you will fall into coma. If you fall unconscious outside the house, 10% of your gold coins will be deducted. Isn't this a game mechanism? What kind of advice is this? "

Boss Yin kept talking about his opinions and expressing his dissatisfaction. Who would have thought that Wang Laoju paused and continued:

"When I say go to bed at two o'clock, I mean the real world. Players must remember to go to bed before two o'clock."

Wang Laoju completely silenced Boss Yin with one sentence. After a long pause, Boss Yin asked cautiously:

"Don't tell me that you got such heavy dark circles under your eyes because you were playing Stardew Valley?"

Wang Laoju nodded very calmly: "Boss, I am in the late stage of Cyberstar addiction and there is no hope of help..."

After Lianmai ended, Boss Yin still didn't believe it.

After all, Wang Laoju is a game anchor, not a player.

For game anchors, playing games has become their daily job.

They have played between 1,000 and 800 games. They rarely experience a game as immersively as ordinary players, and even laugh at themselves to the point of being addicted to Cyberstar.

When Boss Yin came back to his senses, he realized that even Mai's good brother didn't get the guide to Stardew Valley this time. Instead, he became more curious about Stardew Valley because of Wang Laoju's words.

Boss Yin didn't believe in evil and said, "I want to see what's going on with this game!"

Boss Yin downloaded and installed the game, created a new file directly, and spent the first day of the game hoeing, sowing, watering, wandering around and making friends with the villagers according to the task prompts.

The next day, follow the prompts in Willy's letter and come to the beach pier. After talking to Willy, you will get a bamboo fishing rod and start the life of a cyber fisherman.

only……

Boss Yin and Wang Laoju are worthy of being the three giants in flying. The fishing of one fish and the other is terrible.

Seeing another fish running away, he didn't believe it: "I don't believe it yet. I've overcome such a difficult fishing game as Russian Fishing Master. How can fishing in Stardew Valley, a mere pixel game, still stump me?"

Facts have proved that it can really stump him!

Master Yin, who had been busy for two hours, caught no fish and ended up with a pile of garbage.

Water friends couldn’t stand it anymore and issued a barrage reminder——

"Boss, in the early stages of Stardew Valley, if you are a bad fisherman, you can go to Willy's shop to buy a training rod. This will make fishing easier."

"What you said above is right. Although the gold coins you harvest in a day of fishing will be less than using a bamboo fishing rod, it is still better than nothing."

"Yes, and if you make money, you can also buy higher-level fishing rods in Willy's shop. You can place baits. When your fishing level increases, you can also make a bait machine on the manufacturing page."

"Although the bait machine is difficult to make, boss, if you have a bait machine, you can catch particularly valuable catfish in Coal Lake on rainy days. Ten thousand gold coins for one day of fishing is not a dream!"

"If you make another fish smoker, you won't be able to afford ten thousand gold coins, but you can still make more."

Water friends, you say something, and I will give you advice and suggestions for Boss Yin.

Boss Yin hurriedly bought a training fishing rod. Once he got started, he found that the difficulty of fishing plummeted, from the previous hell difficulty to the current normal difficulty.

He was overjoyed and subconsciously thought of the high-end fishing rods, bait machines, and fish smokers mentioned by water friends, which could earn more than 10,000 yuan a day...

"No, no!" Boss Yin shook his head thinking of this:

"Brothers, the most fun part of a land reclamation game is the unknown. All the bullet screens are full of guides. I don't have to explore at all. Where does this sense of accomplishment come from? What kind of land reclamation is this?"

"Well, during my pioneering period, even if I take detours or make mistakes, don't remind me and let me explore by myself, so that I can understand how fun Stardew Valley is?"

Water friend: "..."

Player: "..."

To be honest, I have never heard such an outrageous request in my life!

There shouldn’t be too many newbie pitfalls in Stardew Valley!

Since Boss Yin is so confident, he dares to say this.

Then let's just wait and see what happens and wait to see the show unfold.

"No problem, boss, you said so, I promise not to say a word!"

"Hey, this is something new. Just play with it, boss. I promise you won't make a sound while you play!"

"All eyes are on me. You must always remember to remind players who have just joined the live broadcast room to keep our mouths shut and watch the boss move his legs!"

"That's right, that's right, what strategy? What shortcut? What precautions? What tips? We don't know anything!"

Boss Yin saw the water friends respond so positively to his debuff, and at this moment, he was still a little embarrassed.

As everyone knows, there is no need to stay overnight. If Boss Yin doesn't pay attention, he will fall hard today.

Boss Yin returned his attention to the game, planting, hoeing, felling, watering, and fishing.

Especially when Boss Yin's fishing skills improved, the length of the green buoy became longer, and his daily income from fishing increased. After a few days, he accumulated a lot of money.

On this day, he just got up and came outside the house when he saw the letter in the mailbox——

【I am Robin! 】

[I understand that there is a lot of scattered gravel around your farm. If you have enough gravel, you might consider asking me to build you a well. 】

[The well can be built anywhere on the farm, making it easier for you to fill the watering can. When you are ready, just bring 75 stones and 1,000 gold coins and come to my shop. 】

【——Robin】

In the first spring of Stardew Valley, the gold content of gold coins is the highest, which is also the beginning of the snowball for players.

One thousand gold coins is also a huge amount of money for players at this stage.

For players, there is no need to build this well if it is not necessary.

Because this thousand gold coins can be used elsewhere to obtain higher returns.

Boss Keyin just came to Stardew Valley as a fledgling. He didn't understand this at all, so he built a well on the same day.

In the middle of the process, some friends couldn't stand it and sent a barrage to remind Boss Yin. When they saw the barrage, Boss Yin reiterated his opinion again.

"Don't give me hints, let me do it myself!"

Na!

It's your choice, idol!

Next, water friends spontaneously organized an invisible wall in the live broadcast room.

Not only will water friends not post guide-type barrages, new water friends who join the live broadcast room will also be informed of the situation as soon as possible.

In this way, suggestions and information will no longer be visible in the live broadcast room.

As Boss Yin gradually became immersed in the game, he also realized the magical charm of Stardew Valley.

"No, could it be that...I am also addicted to Cyberstar?"

But don't tell me, don't tell me, this game is really addictive.

[I found that you have been exploring the old mine. All I can say is that you were born to be an explorer. As long as you kill 10 slimes, you can have a place in my Explorers Guild. Be careful. 】

【——Ma Long】

With the mine unlocked, Boss Yin immersed himself in the mine all day long, mining and fighting, but something was wrong.

However, the water friend did not answer the questions. Instead, as time passed, he gradually cheered in his heart, because the first big pit in Stardew Valley was waiting for Boss Yin.

They will wait and see.

Spring 12th, six o'clock in the morning.

Boss Yin got up from bed, interacted with the TV, learned about today's fortune and tomorrow's weather, and went outside.

Another letter came to the mailbox, and Wang Laoju opened it and read:

"Huh? Easter? Event?"
