Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

The matter of the large-scale DLC live broadcast conference.

For both Taipingdao and the players, it is a matter of getting familiar with each other.

Cai Gou knows the rules, the players understand the rules, and both sides are tacitly aware of it.

As usual, Cai Gou wore a black suit and a brown tie, walked into the live broadcast room, unbuttoned, sat in the anchor's position, and greeted the fans:

"Good afternoon, players, welcome to the Taipingdao large-scale DLC live broadcast conference, I am General Tiangong."

In the live broadcast room, the fans' barrage rolled wildly-

"Who said that there is no Crazy Demon Brother in our game designer industry? General Tiangong, our game industry's own Crazy Demon Brother."

"... The person above, you are so dirty in swearing, I don't allow you to say that old thief."

"DLC maniac is a compliment here, we are praising the old thief."

"Stardew Valley player: Boss, please, give me another DLC to play, I can't stand it anymore, just one, just ten minutes, woo woo woo, I will never touch it again next time."

"Thank you DLC maniac, you saved my Cyber ​​Yang Wei."

"Let's get straight to the point, let's get straight to the point, I just want to see the true face of Stardew Valley's third large expansion DLC [East Scap]."

Cai Gou obviously understands the players' thoughts at the moment, and is anxious for the players to He said anxiously: "Everyone knows the process, let's stop talking and get straight to the point."

"Logically speaking, Qingshan Game Company made a move, and I released Ark: Survival Evolved. Next, I should wait for Qingshan Game Company to make another move, but I realized something later."

"Our competition is not a turn-based game, why can't I take the initiative? What's more, the Journey Cup is imminent, and Taipingdao has no time to spend too much energy on these four game companies."

"So after the high-level management of Taipingdao held a meeting and decided to hold the largest DLC live broadcast conference in the history of Taipingdao today. After all... As we all know, all-in is a kind of wisdom."

Speaking of this, Cai Gou deliberately paused for a while to give players time to digest the information, and then said:

"Then welcome to one of the protagonists of our DLC conference today, the introduction of the third large DLC of Stardew Valley - [East Scap]."

Many players are naturally aware of the confrontation between Taipingdao and the four game companies, but there are always new players who don't know about it.

Cai Gou briefly explained the feud between Taipingdao and the four game companies Qingshan, Baihua, Wutong, and Fengqi in a few words.

The press conference had just begun, and a heavyweight DLC was introduced.

Although Stardew Valley is only a pixel-based style and the overall size of the game is not large, it is very popular among farming and management players.

Especially after the baptism of the two DLCs [SVE] and [Ridgeside Village], players' expectations for Stardew Valley's third DLC [East Scap] have reached an unprecedented height.

"Great, Stardew Valley players are ecstatic."

"Don't worry, old thief, I will go to the official micro comment area of ​​the two game companies, Wutong and Fengqi, and post a few more comments."

"[SVE] and [Richside Village] are already very hard to play, it's hard to imagine how much harder it will be with another game [East Scap]. "

"If Stardew Valley is played with these three DLCs, can we get to know all the villagers in the game world in one year?"

"I think it's hard..."

"The person above, you should say, I've been walking on thin ice all my life, do you think I can get to the other side?"

"Hahahaha, Stardew Valley players want to get ashore? I'm afraid it's difficult."

"Once you enter Stardew Valley, it's as deep as the sea, and time is just a passerby from then on."

In the live broadcast room, the staff cooperated tacitly to turn on the projector, and the PPT introduction of [East Scap] appeared in front of the players in the form of pictures. Cai Gou glanced at the comments and smiled without saying anything. If there is a player who is not afraid of death and chooses to load three DLCs into one save file, I guarantee that he will have an unforgettable time.

Cai Gou coughed twice to attract the players' attention, and then officially introduced:

"Stardew Valley has three essential expansion DLCs, each of which adds a huge amount of new content and features to Stardew Valley, and DLC players must experience it."

"Currently, Stardew Valley has released two large expansion DLCs, [SVE] and [Richside Village]. Today, Taipingdao released the last large expansion DLC - [East Scap]."

"[East Scap] is also called East Cliff. [East Scap] adds new villagers, new locations, new fish, new orders, and more secret locations to Stardew Valley."

"[East Scap] is a seaside city located east of Pelican Town. Players who have loaded [East Scap] can go right across the Seagull Bridge after arriving at Clint's blacksmith shop to come to [East Scap]."

Seaside town?

New style?

Players have experienced the village on the ridge of [Richside Village] and appreciated the unique scenery of [Richside Village]. However, neither [SVE] nor [Richside Village] has the theme of a seaside town.

This opening introduction alone attracted the attention of all Stardew Valley players, and they couldn't wait to listen.

Cai Gou flipped the PPT and continued to introduce:

"In [East Scap], players can meet the gentle veterinarian Jacob and his daughter Eloise. In Rosa's hotel, players can buy a totem to go to [East Scap]. Next to Aiden's house, players can see the Baron cat."

"The cave fishman Lacey lives here. Players can plant as they please in the grassland farm in the north. The dark cave on the south seashore is rich in resources, but it is also the home of monsters. Do you have the courage to take risks?"

"The villagers and additional character expansions of [East Scap] have greatly enriched this coastal town. At the same time, [East Scap] also has many hidden villagers waiting to appear as the story progresses. Are you ready?"

Are you ready?

Need I say more?

Always be prepared!

Grassland farm, dark cave, loaded with [East Scap].

Players not only added a new farming map, but also a monster spawning map outside the mine, and it has the unique characteristics of [East Scap]. Needless to say, it must be taken.

"How much is [Dongscap] and when will it be available? Tell me the number, old thief."

"That's right, let's not beat around the bush and keep us on suspense. I'll tell you the time. It will be available today."

"I wanted to call my competitors "shark arms" as usual, but after reading the introduction of [Dongscap], I thought that if it weren't for them, the DLC wouldn't be released so quickly, so I wanted to thank them."

"If you hate someone deeply, you will naturally become a fan, right?"

"The person above, I hope you mean fans."

Cai Gou didn't delay or keep us on suspense. He flipped to the last page of the PPT on the projector and showed the price of [Dongscap].

[Scheme 1: All players who purchase SVE can get the large expansion DLC East Scap for free]

[Scheme 2: All players who purchase Ridgeside Village can get the large expansion DLC East Scap for free]

[Scheme 3: All players who have played Stardew Valley for more than 100 hours can get the large expansion DLC East Scap for free]

[Scheme 4: If the player does not meet any of the above conditions and wants to directly purchase the large expansion DLC East Scap, the price is 2 yuan]

Player: "!!!"

Friends: "!!!"

What's going on?

The sales plans are different again?

But when players carefully observe these four plans, they will find the deep meaning of these four price plans.

All players who have purchased SVE and Ridgeside Village can get East Scap for free.

Even if players have not purchased SVE and Ridgeside Village, they can get East Scap for free as long as they have played Stardew Valley for more than 100 hours.

Players have played Stardew Valley for 100 hours, which is just the beginning for this farming and management game. Some players have not even completed their first save file.

Even if a small number of players do not meet the conditions of the above three options, they can still choose option 4 and buy this large expansion DLC [East Scap] with a cheap two yuan.

Even if these people do not want to spend this money, they can spend some time and choose to get [East Scap] for free after playing Stardew Valley for 100 hours.

In this way, players can easily exploit many loopholes in the price plan of [East Scap] and get this large expansion DLC [East Scap] for free.

With [SVE] and [Ridgeside Village] as examples, players will not question the quality of [East Scap] DLC at all.

It's just... Isn't it a loss-making price for the old thief to make a profit?

[East Scap] is equivalent to giving it to players for free?

He really is, I'm crying!

In the live broadcast room, netizens posted comments crazily——

"Lao Zei, there is no need. Taipingdao also needs to survive and pay salaries. You can charge for DLC like other game companies. Based on the quality of Taipingdao DLC, we have no objection at all."

"That's right. We can't let bad money drive out good money. Although I can get it for free, in order to support Lao Zei, I decided to spend two yuan to buy [Donskap]."

"That's right. Anyway, it's the price of a windproof lighter. I can still afford it. Just think of it as buying a windproof lighter for Lao Zei to light his cigarette."

"No... brothers upstairs, [Donskap] 【Pu】's sales plan, you didn't read it carefully, did you? Those who meet the first three sales plans cannot choose the fourth plan, because only players who do not meet any of the conditions given by Lao Zei can choose the fourth plan. "

"No way? I'm dizzy... According to what you said, we want to spend two yuan to support Lao Zei, and these two yuan can't be spent?"

"According to the current situation, it's like this..."

"Then I... go to buy Ark Survival Evolved."

"Save the country in a roundabout way, right? Hahahaha!"

"Lao Zei doesn't need to do this, right? It doesn't make money..."

In the live broadcast room, the barrage of comments is endless.

Some players are persuading Cai Gou not to do this, some players want to buy the game in reverse, and some players feel sorry for Lao Zei.

After all, every player has a scale in his heart. Lao Zei pays them with sincerity, so they naturally can't pour urine on Lao Zei. Sincerity for sincerity is the real golden signboard of Taipingdao.

Cai Gou smiled and explained: "Taipingdao doesn't make money from DLC, it's purely for making friends."

"Everyone, rest assured, any player who meets the first three sales plans will not be able to pay to purchase [Dongskap] according to plan four."

Good guy, is it okay to make friends?

According to the old thief, he doesn't even want to be given money?

What else can I say?

Just two words - game spirit!

Just based on the prices of several DLCs in Stardew Valley, it would be unjust if Taipingdao didn't become popular.

Cai Gou clasped his hands together to attract the players' attention, and then said:

"After introducing the last large expansion DLC of Stardew Valley [East Scap], let's introduce the large expansion DLC list of Ark: Survival Evolved - Valguero, Wonderland, Extinction, Distortion, Scorched Earth, Primal Ark, Central Island, Genesis, Crystal Island!"

"Ark: Survival Evolved, a survival and construction game, not only has rare dinosaur elements, but also has the taste synchronization function of the players of the second rebellion."

"The most important thing is that Taipingdao has produced a full nine large expansion DLCs for Ark: Survival Evolved, and there is always one suitable for you!"

Ark: Survival Evolved has become a unique existence in the current track with its unique innovation in today's survival and construction games that are all the same.

Although Ark: Survival Evolved has not been released for as long as Stardew Valley, the number of players and the player base are not inferior to those of Stardew Valley.

What's more, any player who has read the latest Weibo of Taipingdao official microblog understands one thing.

Cai Gou held a large-scale DLC live conference this time. The large expansion DLC [East Scap] of Stardew Valley was at best a bonus. The real finale was the nine DLCs that Ark: Survival Evolved would soon release.

In the live broadcast room, a large number of fans were excited to hear the news, and survival and construction players were even more ecstatic.

For survival and construction players, today's treatment is at least a cyber New Year, right?

"Wow, old thief, I love you so much! I will buy Stardew Valley plus all DLCs now to support you! I can't let you make a profit at a loss."

"That's right, old thief can make friends with us, and we can also make friends with old thief with practical actions."

"Top! We survival construction players and farming management players, come to a wave of Taipingdao exclusive friendship linkage."

"Nine, Fan Jin's happiness after passing the imperial examination, isn't it just like this?"

"I can't wait to see what cyber food broadcasters will develop on the new maps of the nine DLCs!"

In the live broadcast room, the staff changed the PPT.

Cai Gou held the PPT remote control and clicked play. The projector displayed the list of the nine DLCs of Ark: Survival Evolved.

Cai Gou stared at the names of the nine DLCs in the PPT image, thought for a moment, shook his head and smiled:

"The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, I'll introduce them one by one."
