Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

[Dear Boss Yin. 】

[Tomorrow we will celebrate Easter in the square. 】

[If you would like to celebrate with us, please arrive between 9am and 2pm. 】

【The annual Easter Egg Treasure Hunt is not to be missed! 】

[——Mayor Lewis]

Easter is the first holiday for Stardew Valley players.

Because Pierre's Shop will exclusively sell strawberry seeds on this day, and ripe strawberries are sold at a high price, it is the best choice for players to rely on farming to make money in the early stage.

Therefore, in the eyes of Stardew Valley players, Easter is a very important holiday that cannot be missed.

But... new players will always fail to understand the situation, miss opportunities, and make a lot of jokes when they participate in an event for the first time.

Because of Easter's mistake, there are many players who have no choice but to roll back or even delete their files and start over again.

As a newcomer to Stardew Valley, the water friends who understand the situation at this juncture will instinctively give Yin a few pointers to prevent him from taking detours.

But since Boss Yin said in the live broadcast room that no one is allowed to spoil the show, then everyone is naturally holding back laughter in their hearts and waiting to see a good show.

The water friends didn’t say anything on the surface, but secretly they started calling friends to invite people into the live broadcast room.

"Activity? It's always beneficial. Let's go and participate in it tomorrow. It won't be in the way."

Boss Yin closed the letter and began to collect the second batch of mature parsnips. He then planted seeds, watered them, and rushed to the mine to dig and smelt metal rods.

After a busy day of work, the day in the game world passed quickly, and he lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Spring 13th, six o'clock in the morning.

Boss Yin got up from bed, interacted with the TV, and after learning about tomorrow's weather and today's fortune, he went out to water the ground.

It was past nine o'clock in the morning when we finished watering, and Easter had already begun.

Boss Yin packed up the resources in his backpack and rushed towards Pelican Town Square.

At this moment, the fans in the live broadcast room are already holding back laughter in their hearts, just waiting for the good show to come on.

Boss Yin came to the square of Pelican Town and found that on Easter day, the entire Pelican Town was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. There were several tables covered with blue tablecloths in the center of the square, and the food was extremely rich.

All the villagers gathered together and chatted with each other in small groups. They looked happy and had a special festive atmosphere.

Boss Yin praised: "Don't tell me, it really feels like a festival. I don't know if this event has any benefits. It would be best for Lewis to give me a sum of money directly, hahahaha."

Boss Yin walked into the square. On Easter Day, Pierre did not forget his old business and set up a stall at the entrance of the square.

Players must hold back their excitement at this moment, the show is about to begin.

The live broadcast room is frantically scrolling to avoid uninformed spoilers for new friends.

Boss Yin, who was unaware of all this, said hello to Pierre and curiously checked the store's sales resources.

[Lawn Flamingo Price: 400 gold coins]

[Selling price of plush rabbit: 2000 gold coins]

[Strawberry seeds: 100 gold coins]

[Seasonal plants: 350 gold coins]

【……】

"Tsk!" Boss Yin glanced at the goods in the store and said disdainfully:

"Pierre is a profiteer. During the Easter event, the things he sells are not only tame but useful, and they are so expensive? My money is useful, so I don't dare to spend it randomly!"

Boss Yin immediately closed the store. While the villagers were all in the square, he quickly greeted all the villagers to increase his favorability, and finally came to the mayor Lewis.

Lewis smiled and said, "Do you think everyone is ready for the easter egg treasure hunt?"

【Yes, let's get started! 】

【not yet! 】

The Easter activities were limited to the Pelican Town Square. All the villagers had talked and there were no products to buy.

Boss Yin did not hesitate at all and chose to start the activity.

Lewis called everyone to gather around him and announced loudly: "It's time to start the finale of today's celebration...the annual spring egg hunt!"

Fortunately for the adults, they have participated in many Easter activities since they were old enough. But the children were different. When they heard that the spring egg hunt was about to be held, both of them jumped up and down with excitement.

Lewis smiled and said: "Children, don't be so excited, save your energy so that you can find more Easter eggs later." So... is everyone ready? The Easter Egg Treasure Hunt has officially begun! "

With a whistle, the one-minute easter egg treasure hunt begins.

Upon seeing this, the villagers spread out in Pelican Town Square to look for Easter eggs.

Boss Yin participated in the event for the first time and had little experience. He didn't even react at first. After he reacted, he quickly searched around the Pelican Town Square.

There are traces of Easter eggs of different colors in front of and behind the house, on street corners, next to trash cans, next to small gardens, and in some nooks and crannies.

It's a pity that Boss Yin was the first to participate in the event. He didn't have the awareness to plan the route and didn't know the location of the easter eggs. He fought hard for just one minute and only got five easter eggs.

"call out--"

The countdown ended, the whistle sounded again, and everyone gathered in front of Lewis.

"Wow, look at these eggs. If you kids are as efficient at picking up trash, we will be the cleanest city in the Gem Sea. So the winner of this year's Easter Egg Renewal is... Abigail!"

Abigail, who had purple hair and was as cute as a doll, jumped up excitedly when she heard that she had won, and quickly ran to Mayor Lewis.

Lewis took out a hat and smiled: "This is your prize, Abigail, I hope you will like it."

Abigail took the hat excitedly, and Lewis continued: "Okay, this year's Egg Festival is over. Thank you everyone for coming."

As Lewis's words fell, the screen fell into darkness and lit up again. Boss Yin had returned to his Jinmen farm.

But the time was exactly ten o'clock in the middle of the night.

Boss Yin: "!!!"

no……

What the hell is this?

There are no prizes or benefits for participating in an event.

As a result, the event ended and the time was fast-forwarded to the evening?

What an Easter event!

Clearly a time assassin!

Feelings: I didn't do any work this day, so I just acted as a passer-by at the event?

No, old thief, are you so picky?

Can the mayor give me a hat?

"I'm really convinced." Boss Yin sighed:

"If I had known that Easter was useless, I would have been better off not participating in it. Spending the day cutting down trees, weeding, and cleaning up the farm would be better than participating in Easter."

"The ground has been watered, and there are no mature crops to collect. Now it's not enough time to go back and forth for fishing. Don't even think about mining in the mine. Forget it, let's go to sleep..."

Until this moment, the Easter show staged by Boss Yu Yin finally came to a perfect end.

There is no pitfall that he can step on!

So cool! Water friends are delighted to see it!

But after all, water friends just want to watch a good show and don't want to see this archive become invalid.

At this time, the good show should come to an end, and we water friends should also appear on the stage to let the boss understand what it means——

Stardew Valley will punish every player who talks harshly.

Water friends directly flooded the screen with barrage, which can be summed up in one sentence——

"Boss, stop it, don't sleep! You don't want your hard work to be in vain, do you?"

This wave of barrages seemed to be organized and premeditated, with one sentence filling the screen.

The water friends seem to be Huang Mao inside and outside the words, and Boss Yin herself is the heroine.

no?

What does this mean?

What is called--

Boss, stop, don't sleep! You don’t want your hard work to go to waste, right?

Could it be that I made some huge mistake unintentionally?

But I just attended Easter and nothing else?

But the water friends said that this archive was his whole afternoon's hard work. Boss Yin was also scared. He no longer cared about the iron rule he had set that no spoilers should be revealed, and took the initiative to ask:

"What's going on? What's going on, brothers? Tell me clearly."

In the live broadcast room, there were so many comments from friends that Boss Yin could not see clearly. At this moment, Wuwo entered the live broadcast room and applied for continuous wheat.

The water friends took a look and saw that the mayor of Pelican Town was here?

Everyone is also willing to let Wuwo be the representative to explain to Boss Yin.

Boss Yin hurriedly connected the wheat and asked: "Brother, why are you here?"

Wuwo opened his mouth to explain, and his accent was very recognizable.

"Boss, your live broadcast today has been spread in the live broadcast room of the Stardew Valley anchor. Everyone knows that you are going to participate in the Easter event."

"Ah? Such a small thing can still alarm you? Can it be spread all over the world?" Boss Yin was very puzzled by this.

Wuwo smiled and said, "Are you planning to go to bed now?"

"yes……"

"Didn't you buy Cao Mei's seeds at Pierre's activity store?"

"Ah? Do I need to buy strawberry seeds? All my farmland is planted with parsnips, and strawberry seeds are 100 gold coins each. They are too expensive, so I didn't buy them..."

Speaking of this, Boss Yin already had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

"Then no wonder everyone doesn't let you sleep. If the archive is saved until the 14th of Spring, half of your archive will be useless." Wuwo said: "Let me explain it to you."

Boss Yin nodded hurriedly: "Hey, okay, okay, please brother."

At this moment, I heard that the selfless Stardew Valley Little Classroom was launched, and a large number of water friends once again flooded into the live broadcast room.

"Damn it, I almost missed such a thing!"

"This is all cheese, this is all cheese!"

"Airborne successful!"

"I'm not giving a class to Boss Yin? Is it a déjà vu that a top student is giving a class to a bad student?"

"Hahahaha, you're taking the bamboo shoots from upstairs. You've almost taken all the bamboo shoots on the mountain."

Wuwo explained: "Caomei seeds can only be purchased at the Pierre event store on Easter. Caomei seeds are sown in spring, mature in 8 days, and then produced in a cycle."

"Although Caomei seeds are sold for as high as 100 gold coins, compared with other spring crops, Caomei's daily income is as high as 11.67 gold coins, which is much higher than other crops."

"If you plant it on Easter on the 13th, you can harvest mature caomei on the 21st and 25th. You can harvest at least two waves. You can get fertilizers by completing community sacrifice tasks, and some of them can harvest three waves."

"And Cao Mei's experience value is also very high, which can quickly help players gain farming experience and upgrade their farming level. If the farming level reaches level five, he has two skills -"

"Livestock Herder: By-product value +20%."

"Farmers: Value of agricultural products +10%."

"If you choose the farmer level and sell Cao Mei, the unit price of ordinary Cao Mei is 132 gold coins, the unit price of Silver Star Cao Mei is 165 gold coins, and the unit price of Gold Star Cao Mei is 198 gold coins."

"For players, Easter is not only the first holiday that Stardew Valley players participate in, but also the beginning of a snowballing of Stardew Valley players' funds. This holiday is very important."

After hearing this, Boss Yin suddenly realized that he had almost missed an opportunity.

Easter is not unimportant, on the contrary, it is too important. The once-a-year opportunity to buy Caomei seeds almost slipped away.

If this was saved while sleeping, my intestines would be so full of regret.

Boss Yin didn't want to always be a scumbag in Stardew Valley, so he hurriedly asked Wuwo, the mayor of Cyber ​​Pelican Town, for advice: "Brother, according to what you said, what should I do?"

Wuwo explained: “In this game, fishing in the early stage is the fastest way to get a large amount of money.”

"As the fishing level increases, with the blessing of fish smoker, bait machine, and fishing skills, it is easy to earn more than 10,000 yuan a day. But as the game progresses, fishing in the later stage will only be used as an adjustment."

"After understanding this premise, players should use various methods such as fishing to obtain more funds in the early stage of the game to ensure that they have enough gold coins to purchase enough Caomei seeds on Easter, Spring 13th."

"And for activities like Easter, the time will jump to 10 o'clock in the evening after participating in it, so we should make preparations first, such as collecting, planting, and reclaiming land."

"We are doing all this to ensure that after attending Easter, we will come back at 10 o'clock in the evening so that we can successfully sow all the Caomei seeds in hand and complete the watering."

"In this way, our initial funds will be rolling up. If we have sufficient funds in the future, we can choose brewing flow, sheep flow, gem sweetberry flow, hive flow, jam flow and other genres according to the players' own preferences."

Water friend: "!!!"

Boss: "!!!"

Master, I understand!

There is no temporary cyber classroom for me today.

It is really better to listen to your words than to read ten years of books.

Coach, I want to join Stardew Valley too!

Although there are no genres that I can tell you - brewing flow, sheep flow, jeweled sweetberry flow, honeycomb flow, jam flow, etc.

For Boss Yin at this moment, it is still too far away and cannot be understood at all.

But he already knew the importance of Easter and strawberry seeds, as well as the process of snowballing funds in the early stages of the game.

Boss Yin thanked him excitedly: "Brother, thank you!"

"It's okay..." Wuwo smiled and waved his hand:

"If you have any questions, boss, just come into my live broadcast room and ask me on the mic. When I am not live broadcasting, the account also releases video tutorials for Stardew Valley, from beginners to genres. If you encounter problems, you can also watch Watch the video.”

"Nothing else, I'll get off first."

"Hey, hey!" Boss Yin nodded quickly: "You are busy, you go first."

At the end of the contest, Boss Yin looked at his archive and said with emotion: "This is called true transmission of one sentence, fake transmission of thousands of books, almost GG."

"Sure enough... there is no need to be stubborn. Stardew Valley will punish every player who speaks harshly."
