Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

The original bus stop map only had an east-west highway, passing through Stardew Valley, and there would be a bus stop below.

But after loading [Richside Village], there is not only the bus stop of Stardew Valley under this road, but also a staircase above, which is the road leading to [Richside Village].

Keep walking along this staircase to reach the front map of [Ridgeside Village]. Halfway through, you can also find a sign on the side that says——

[Cable Car to Ridgeside Village]

Without self, I continued walking forward and found a warning sign——

【warn! 】

[Please leave your horse in the horse stable, we don’t want the "Pegasus Incident" to happen again - Leni]

Next to this warning sign, there is an abandoned mine cave with a mine cart blocking the entrance. Once the player interacts with it, a display will pop up——

[This car looks broken, it’s best not to touch it]

Continue walking forward for a while and you will come to the aerial cable car. Get on the cable car and arrive at [Ridgeside Village].

After walking out of the cable car and arriving at the cliff at the end of Ridgeside Village, Kenneth walked up to Wuwo with a surprised look on his face and asked:

"Hey, are you a new farmer? Leni said you'll probably live here. Nice to meet you, I'm Kenneth, the electrician at [Ridgeside Village]. I hope you're doing well."

Kenneth exchanged a few pleasantries, then walked into the cable car and left the village, but he was stunned in place, lost in doubt.

Wu Wo, the cyber mayor of Pelican Town, rarely shows such an expression. In the live broadcast room, water friends were very curious and posted comments one after another asking——

"No self, what's wrong with you?"

"Really? Mayor, you just came to [Ridgeside Village], why don't you hurry up and explore and have all these question marks on your face?"

"Yes, could it be possible...that there is something wrong with Kenneth?"

"No, this is at most a fixed plot dialogue for the first meeting. What's the problem?"

Wuwo saw the barrage posted in the live broadcast room, shook his head and said firmly: "No... the problem is big. Think about it carefully, what is the difference between [Richside Village] and [SVE]?"

the difference?

What's the difference?

[SVE] and [Ridgeside Village] are both DLCs for Stardew Valley, and they are also large expansion DLCs.

At most, the two have different names, but it’s not like [SVE] is the English name, and [Richside Village] is the Chinese name, right?

What's more, [Richside Village] also has its English name, so this shouldn't be a difference...

When everyone was confused and confused, Wu-Se explained:

"You all have overlooked one point. In [SVE], the player's farm is an improvement based on the original version. So even if the player finds that the farm map has changed a lot, it is still in the original farm location. We will still Become a villager in Pelican Town.”

"But [Ridgeside Village] is different. What Kenneth just said is - [Hey, are you a new farmer? Leni said you will probably live here.] What does this sentence indicate? What does it indicate? Players will most likely have a cabin and a farm in [Ridgeside Village]!”

"In other words, in the [Richside Village] DLC, we are likely to no longer be the villagers of Pelican Town, but the villagers of [Richside Village]."

"And don't forget, the old thief said that [Ridgeside Village] provides a lot of new content and features for Stardew Valley - adding 50 new NPCs, 22 objects that can be married, hundreds of There are dialogues and plot animations.”

"And 400 brand new events. Including new holiday events and ordinary events. There are also more than fifty brand new tasks and orders! And Ninja Turtle Toto, Ninja Kiwi, for example, represent the villagers of [Ridgeside Village] Not all human beings.”

"What does this mean? It means that we can experience a completely different plot in [Richside Village], and there is even a main plot unique to [Richside Village] in this DLC!"

Water friend: "!!!"

Player: "!!!"

Good guy!

I'm a good guy!

What kind of god is there without self?

As expected of the mayor of Pelican Town, he was able to discover so many hidden clues about Ridgeside Village from Kenneth's dialogue.

If it’s true as Wu-I said, then this is simply a game disguised as Stardew Valley, but in reality it’s called [Ridgeside Village]!

What the hell do you call a large expansion DLC?

Do you understand the value of the Taipingdao large-scale expansion DLC?

Simply——

Awesome mother, open the door for Awesome, Awesome is home!

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

"The guy upstairs is so uneducated that he can go all over the world just by saying shit, right?"

"To be honest, if I hadn't explained it this way, I wouldn't have discovered this."

"So, [Ridgeside Village] has many new crop seeds and activities, so many of the gameplay and routines of Stardew Valley will have to change?"

"I thought that the large-scale expansion DLC was just for players to repeat the game. Who would have thought that it would be a sense of déjà vu and starting over?"

"What the hell? I'm an experienced player of Stardew Valley after all. So, after loading [Richside Village], I'm a newbie again?"

"Upstairs, it's not that big of a deal, because Chun Meng Xin can be fooled by just one game of Stardew Valley. He hasn't even unlocked Jiang Island, and he hasn't played Stardew Valley thoroughly. I'm afraid I'll give him [Richieside] Even the villagers can’t understand it.”

"Hahahaha, what does this mean? Pelican Town villagers got green cards from [Ridgeside Village]?"

"Hahahaha, that's too much. Is the cyber green card okay?"

"My gratitude to Captain Jiang has reached a new level again!"

With the introduction of [SVE], players knew that the large expansion DLC would change the game itself, but even if they were mentally prepared, they did not expect that the addition of [Richside Village] would have such a big change in Stardew Valley.

Is it okay to just turn old players into newbies?

Seeing this, my interest increased greatly, and I hurriedly left the cliff at the end and tried to explore [Richside Village] to verify my suspicion.

After walking out of the cliff at the end, we arrived at the outskirts of the town of Ridgeside Village, where we saw Lewis's sister, Leni, resting in a courtyard garden full of flowers.

When Leni saw Wu-Se's arrival, with an amiable smile on her face, she walked up and asked:

"Hello Wu-I, how about the cable car?"

Wu-I naturally nodded in praise and greeted him with a smile.

Leni continued: "Welcome to [Ridgeside Village], the village on the ridge, that's the slogan we're using... I guess you finally read the letter he gave you."

Water friend: "???"

Without me:"???"

What's the meaning?

What do you mean, I guess you finally saw the letter he gave you?

Regarding relationships, are you, Leni, and Grandpa Cyber ​​acquainted?

Don’t think too much about this relationship. If you think too much, you will easily violate taboos!

Maybe Grandpa Cyber ​​was also very charming when he was young!

This wave of strange linkages has increased a lot!

Wuwo pointed at the screen and smiled at the water friend: "Emotions, our Grandpa Cyber, has such a wide network of contacts?"

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

"Wait a minute, is it possible that Leni is the player's cyber grandma? Otherwise, why would she say that? Why is Lewis, the mayor of Pelican Town, so nice to us?"

"Upstairs, don't be too outrageous! Didn't you receive a gift from your grandma in the mailbox when you played the original version of Stardew Valley?"

"It's impossible for Cyber ​​Grandma, but it's possible for Cyber ​​Mistress..."

"... In the comment area, my native language is speechless. Brother upstairs, although I understand what you mean, do you really understand what a mistress is?"

“I didn’t react after watching the plot, but watching your barrages gave me a sense of deja vu as the richest man in tomatoes…”

In the water friend's spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the truth, Leni unknowingly acquired many identities.

I didn’t have any more chats with my water friends and continued the game.

Leni introduced: "I am the one and only Leni, please save your applause until after the visit."

"I'm also the Chief Administrative Officer of [Ridgeside Village], simply known as The Woman Doing the Paperwork. We don't get a lot of visitors from outside the valley, so it's really nice to see you."

Leni smiled and said: "No one has lived in the dilapidated bungalow on Cao Mei Farm for a long time. Its owner is a good friend of mine, so I hope you can take good care of it."

Seeing this, Wu Wo slapped his thigh: "Let me tell you, you and Grandpa Cyber ​​must know each other! They are indeed good friends!"

"A good friend, indeed... let me take you on a quick tour of the town." Leni led the way, followed step by step.

The two walked through [Ridgeside Village] and came to a building. Leni introduced:

“First, we have the Chalet Hotel, which is a great place to relax after a long hike in the mountains, and it even has a gym on the third floor if you’re not feeling exhausted after hiking.”

hotel?

Gym?

What kind of life do players live in Stardew Valley Farm?

Live the life of a cyber farmer!

Going to bed at two o'clock and getting up at six o'clock is the norm!

Then you told me, there is a gym here?

To think that in [Ridgeside Village], a village with few tourists, the person who opened a gym is indeed a talent.

The player has been working hard all day in the fields and is almost exhausted. How can he still find time to exercise in the gym?

He really made me cry to death!

Wuwo was full of naughty words, and before she had time to say them out, Leni had already brought Wuwo to the square of Ridgeside Village. In the square, many villagers, both men and women, gathered here to talk and play games.

Leni said: "This is the square of the village. It is the heart of the village. When the weather is nice, people like to hang out here and chat with other villagers."

Leni pointed to the building next to the square and said: "Above the stairs is where the magic happens. That is my office. It is made of wood, bricks and documents."

"I would visit Lewis occasionally to catch up on his municipal duties or just tease him for taking him too seriously. That's my Yuba-given right as his sister."

Yuba?

My sister’s Yuba?

What the hell is this?

I can recognize every Chinese character, so how come they are put together so that I can’t understand them?

Faced with such incomprehensible words, players unanimously believed that it was local custom.

Leni continued to walk through Ridgeside Village with no self, left the square and came to the restaurant.

This restaurant is open-air, with several sets of dining tables placed next to the open space. In the two open-air kitchens, chefs are cooking, and customers are waiting to receive their meals.

Leni introduced: "Do you smell it? That's Pickup Restaurant, the food center of [Ridgeside Village]. I like his dishes and the atmosphere here, not to mention the scenery here, but don't look down, If you do this, don’t blame me if you feel dizzy and nauseous.”

I don’t believe in evil, so I looked down and saw that the Pica Restaurant is located next to a cliff, and there is no bottom below. It is really not suitable for those who are afraid of heights to eat here.

However, let’s not forget that this pickup restaurant is quite unique. Even the restaurant highlights the biggest highlight of Ridgeside Village – the village on the ridge.

Even before the introduction was finished, Wuwo and Shuiyou gradually fell in love with this village that was completely different from Pelican Town.

Leni brought Wu-Self to a stage and continued to introduce: "Enjoy this astral stage. Robin and Clint helped us build this stage for parties and activities."

"I haven't used it much lately, which is a shame to be honest. The local atmosphere hasn't been very good lately, with legends of dangerous fruits and ghosts circulating around the town."

Water friend: "!!!"

Without me:"!!!"

Who are the players?

Players, that is the fourth natural disaster!

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly felt like they had seen the main mission.

This star stage looks like a community activity center.

This legend of dangerous fruits and ghosts is similar to the legend of Junimos!

Wuwo looked excited: "It's interesting. [Ridgeside Village] is getting more and more interesting."

Leni said seriously: "I can assure you that those are all rumors. The only dangerous fruit is the pumpkin on the eve of All Souls' Day."

“There were other farmers living in the village, Blooming Hill Farm in Jericho, in the northwest, and he must have been into mushrooms because he was an interesting guy and he sold great produce.”

"There is also the Nightingale Orchard to the south-west of the village, managed by Mr and Mrs Leyden and their niece Alisa, a lovely young lady with a wonderful voice. Unfortunately she lacks the confidence to perform. Perhaps someone Someone special who can help her find herself?"

I point?

Click me here?

Cyber ​​matchmaker, right?

If you say that, I really want to see who this Alyssa is!

Leni finally said: "This is the end of the large-scale visit. You are warmly welcome to the valley, without me, and even more warmly welcome to [Ridgeside Village]!"

After the forced plot ended, Wuwo was very excited. He wanted to test his conjecture and see if [Ridgeside Village] had his own farm.

As a result, from morning to evening, the selfless smile gradually faded, and the water friend's smile gradually became abnormal.

I visited Ridgeside Village inside and out, interacted with almost all the villagers, and spoke the right words, and found the location of other people's farms, but Wuwo didn't find his own farm.

Until two o'clock in the morning, Wuwo fainted in the square on the street of Ridgeside Village, and woke up in my grandfather's cabin the next day.

Wu-Se looked at the family's ancestral hut with four bare walls. Outside the house was the deserted and dilapidated Cao Mei Farm. He was stunned for a moment and said:

"The life in Stardew Valley that goes to bed at 2 o'clock and starts at 6 o'clock is not the limit. After loading [Ridgeside Village], it can be even more extreme..."

"I thought we had our own farm in [Ridgeside Village], and our relationship didn't even have a place to stay other than a hotel?"

"This kind of life, there's someone else's job in a city, and he rides a bicycle to work."

"In my life, I work and live in two cities, and I need to take the high-speed rail to work."

"In the real world, you work across provinces, but in the cyber world, you work across villages? What kind of cyber green card? This is clearly a cyber punch-in!"
