Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

It was noon in the hot summer.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, the hot wind was blowing, the clouds were rolling, and the heat was steaming.

On both sides of the road, the tall trees were lush and leafy, and the cicadas were chirping on the treetops.

In the live broadcast room on the second floor, Liu Peijia was lying in the Jiegan No. 3 full-body game cabin and teamed up with Boss Yin, working hand in hand as the sixth in the tactical team.

In the smoke-filled battlefield, gunshots were heard one after another.

Boss Yin and Liu Peijia, two evolved sixth complete bodies, were chased by the enemy in the game with a group of new friends.

"Hurry, run!"

"There are people behind, damn, where are the grenades?"

"No, I'm fighting my own people too?"

"Newbie? You big idiot? Look at your teammates!"

Commander Boss Yin screamed hoarsely in the command channel.

Liu Peijia was resurrected at the assembly point and was about to run the map.

When Jiegan No. 3 dialed the external telephone, his wife Yaya yelled on the other end of the phone:

"Eggplant, what are you doing? Don't you see what time it is? Why don't you go off the air to have lunch? Waiting for me to feed you, right?"

"I warn you, if you don't come to have lunch, I will pour out the food and you won't have lunch today!"

Liu Peijia squatted at the assembly point and smiled hurriedly: "Hey, right away, right away, wait for me for half an hour, I have something to do now."

Liu Peijia did not close the teammate channel during the call, and the conversation between him and his wife Yaya was heard by the team members.

Seeing that our side was retreating step by step and the enemy was arrogant, Eggplant was still in love?

Commander Yin Lao Da couldn't bear it when he heard the conversation, and he opened the team channel and shouted:

"There is such a powerful lady, she is able to get a phone call from thousands of miles away to my frontier command post!"

"Who dares to go to the battlefield through the back door? I want her husband to be the first to carry the explosive pack and blow up the bunker!!!"

Eggplant: "???"

Ya Ya: "..."

Water friends: "!!!"

The live broadcast room was boiling with Yin Lao Da's god-level speech.

Good commander, you don't read the art of war, but play tricks?

The tactical team version of the wreath under the mountain, right?

Good, good!

You know how to make a show effect!

"Hahahaha, the boss's speech, in one word - very awesome!"

"Fuck, the key is that the boss's speech is particularly suitable for the current situation, and there is no sense of disobedience."

"Zhao Mengsheng's mother is like my mother. I will never forget it. It was a year ago today. I received an order to carry out a mission with my teammates. It was quite dangerous. My mother called the front line and asked me to go home. In order to call me back, she even put pressure on my father. Finally, under pressure, I had to shut down the computer in the Internet cafe and quit the game."

"At the suspension meeting, you were so powerful. What a noble lady? Humph! You scolded me! I also know that I shouldn't call at the match point, but you can't let Mengsheng charge? When I carried you back from the pile of dead bodies, why didn't you scold me?"

"Okay, okay! I want her husband to be the first to go to the middle gate with a shotgun to snipe the enemy!"

The water friends in the live broadcast room sent barrages wantonly and joined this feast of life.

Yaya was both angry and amused when she heard this:

"Boss, you said that, right? I'll tell Nana later. I'll see if she calls you. How can you still be the commander?"

Boss Yin immediately gave in when he heard this: "Hey, don't, Yaya, Qiezi and I have been teaming up since this morning. It's been three hours. We finally almost won a game. You can wait until we finish the game before you talk."

"Almost winning means you haven't won yet!"

Although he is at a disadvantage now, in order to keep Liu Peijia, a general, Boss Yin still swore against his will:

"Give me half an hour, I'll issue a cyber military order!"

"Okay, hurry up."

Yaya hung up the phone, and Liu Peijia admired: "Boss, you are still good."

"Don't talk nonsense, I've issued a cyber military order, you hurry up and join the battlefield, blow up the bunker for me!"

"Ah? You are so good, Lao Liu, for victory, even I can sacrifice!"

The two of them talked cannons while concentrating on the game.

In this game, our team was at a disadvantage, even though Boss Yin and Liu Peijia were already mature players, but who told them to lead a group of newbies?

To this day, the weight of the tactical team's victory in the game depends on who has more players and who has a better player.

In this game, Boss Yin and Liu Peijia struggled, but they eventually failed and ended up losing everything.

The two quit the game one after another, and Liu Peijia opened the hatch of the Jiegan No. 3 all-feeling game cabin, stood up, walked to the restaurant with lunch, and returned to the live broadcast room.

While eating, Liu Peijia muttered: "I have no appetite in the hot summer, and I don't know how to make some soup with rice. How can I eat this?"

Ya Ya happened to be cleaning outside the door. She was unhappy when she heard it. She walked into the live broadcast room with a mop, stretched out her left hand, and hit Qiezi's back twice:

"It's good to have something to eat. Eat quickly. I still have to wash the dishes later."

"Okay..." Liu Peijia said while eating:

"Brothers, Boss Yin and I will not bring newbies to the tactical team for the time being. It's too difficult and we can't win at all."

"This game is full of old six, how to play it? And the major international servers were opened yesterday. Now there are many foreigners on the server, and the game environment is even worse."

"I feel that I am not the material for old six. I plan to change the game and taste. Do you have any recommendations?"

In the past two days, the Tianming platform has been rolled out overseas, but due to the logistics and transportation of Jiegan No. 3, the market share of overseas players on the Tianming platform is still relatively low.

And 99% of overseas players have flocked to the tactical team, wanting to experience the tactical team's sense of the whole mode, which further increases the difficulty of the commander's tactical command and communication in the game.

After all...

In a game, there are only dozens of people in our camp, but the player's country can gather the number of the Eight-Nation Alliance. This really requires too much military literacy and academic literacy of the commander.

Who would have thought that Liu Peiqie just mentioned it casually, but the water friends in the live broadcast room all said in unison -

"Qiezi, have you forgotten "Minecraft" by Daming Lake?"

"Today at noon, players who complete the new player activity can get "Minecraft". Qiezi, since you don't want to play Tactical Squad, why don't you play Minecraft?"

"Hey, this is a good suggestion. I see that most of the anchors in the game area have already played Minecraft, especially those small anchors who have flocked to Minecraft collectively."

"Yes, yes, Minecraft is not a collective feeling. Games, you can play them on the computer. "

"My World, this kind of game, it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"Open up the wasteland, open up the wasteland! My World, Eggplant, go open up the wasteland!"

Liu Peijia put down his bowl and chopsticks, slapped his forehead: "Yes, how could I forget this game?"

"Tactical Squad is all Lao Liu, Minecraft can't be all Lao Liu, right?"

"Hehe, it's decided, from today on, Tactical Squad will be temporarily suspended, and Minecraft will be broadcast instead."

After confirming the live broadcast plan for the next period of time, Liu Peijia's appetite was opened, and he cleaned up the rice in the bowl in a few bites.

He immediately pushed the Jiegan No. 3 holistic gaming cabin to the corner of the room, opened the gaming chair and sat in front of the computer.

"Don't say it, you really don't say it, after playing the holistic gaming cabin for a while, now going back to play computer games, the feeling is really different."

The fans echoed and nodded repeatedly.

For their generation of players, even if technology is advanced now, more advanced virtual games and even somatosensory games have been derived.

But what they miss most, and even become the collective memory of a generation of players, are all kinds of computer games.

Liu Peijia logged into the Tianming game platform, entered the event area, and received the reward for the new player activity - My World.

After the game was stored, Liu Peijia downloaded the game while opening the game introduction.

[Game name: My World]

[Developer: Taipingdao Company]

[Type: Hardcore·Open World·Sandbox·Combat·Building·Survival·Single/Multiplayer]

[Price: Players can get it for free after completing the new player activity]

[Developer's message: Is it okay, rookie]

"Open world? Sandbox? Hardcore? There are also survival and construction elements? And fighting?" Liu Peijia was surprised:

"Is there so many elements in My World?"

Liu Peijia's eyes were fixed on the cover of My World.

The blue sky and white clouds are endless, surrounded by forests, lakes and mountains. A man and a woman with sheep, pigs and dogs stand on the top of the mountain.

It looks ordinary, but what if all these landscapes and even characters are made of blocks?

That would be very strange...

Such a small-scale game actually contains so many game elements?

Liu Peijia sat up straight and opened the game introduction with curiosity——

[Game Introduction: Players can freely choose survival, creation, adventure and other modes in the game, and experience different interesting gameplay in various modes. ]

[Enjoy fighting monsters, adventure and other fun in survival mode, and enjoy the fun of being a creator in creation mode. ]

[The game is based on the theme of players freely creating and destroying different types of blocks in three-dimensional space. ]

[In the game, players can destroy or create exquisite buildings and art, or collect items to explore the map in single-player or multiplayer mode to complete the main line of the game. ]

[Players can also try high-tech gameplay such as redstone circuits and command blocks. Use blocks one by one to build a huge world. ]

The game elements introduced in the introduction are very rich, but in fact, the gameplay of My World is far richer than the introduction——

My World focuses on allowing players to explore, interact, and change a map dynamically generated by blocks of one cubic meter in size.

In addition to blocks, environmental features also include plants, creatures, and items.

Some activities in the game include collecting ores, fighting hostile creatures, synthesizing new blocks, and collecting various tools for resources found in the game.

The unlimited mode in the game allows players to create buildings, works, and artistic creations in various multiplayer game servers or their single-player modes.

Other features include redstone circuits for logical operations and remote actions, minecarts and tracks, and a mysterious world called the [Nether].

Finally, you can choose to travel to a dimension called [The End] and defeat the Ender Dragon.

Liu Peijia said thoughtfully: "So my world is a block world? It feels a bit like returning to nature."

After downloading and installing Minecraft, Liu Peijia no longer hesitated and entered the game immediately.

The screen dimmed, then lit up, showing a forest background made of blocks, followed by a series of options.

[Single-player game] [Multiplayer game] [Options] [Exit game]

Liu Peijia directly selected the single-player game.

[Enter the selected world] [Create a new world]

[Edit] [Delete] [Rebuild] [Cancel]

When entering the game for the first time, there was no world to choose from, so Liu Peijia directly chose to create a new world.

[World name: None]

[Game mode: optional]

[Difficulty: optional]

"Name?" Liu Peijia pondered for a moment and said, "Let's call it "The World of Qiemen"!"

"Game mode...survival, adventure, creation. I personally prefer to play survival and construction games. There is no need to survive and I don't feel urgent. Choose survival."

"As for the game difficulty...this game is produced and released by General Tiangong after all. Even if it is just a block game, it cannot be underestimated. After all, this game type clearly says hardcore. Choose normal difficulty."

When a player of Minecraft enters the game for the first time, it is fixed to the first-person perspective.

And the first character controlled by the player is fixed to Steve, who can only run in the game in a nearly twitching manner.

The default player's skin has brown hair and blue-purple eyes, with a goatee in the early stage, wearing a blue shirt, a pair of jeans and gray-black shoes.

When the user starts a new game, the player will be placed in a random or specified seed world with an empty inventory.

In the game interface, a system bar will be displayed, indicating that the player has a life bar of 10 hearts, each heart is 20 health points.

Players will receive damage from hostile creatures and other players, and the damage varies with different difficulties.

The player's health can be restored by eating food or drinking specific potions.

Next to the health bar, there is a hunger bar, which is represented by 10 chicken legs, which is 20 hunger points.

When the player is sprinting, the hunger value will drop quickly. When the hunger value becomes 6 or less, the player can no longer run.

The health value can be restored when the hunger value is more than 8 chicken legs. The hunger value will gradually decrease at different difficulties.

Certain specific foods such as rotten meat and raw chicken have a certain probability of causing the player to be hungry buffed, causing the player's hunger value to drop faster.

The hunger value is also an indicator of non-peaceful mode, which will gradually consume over time and will be consumed more when sprinting. At the same time, food can restore the hunger value.

The world of Qiemen is loaded, and Liu Peijia is born at the seaside. The sea water is rippling, and the plains around are piled with blocks and lush with vegetation.

Liu Peijia looked around and saw a rainbow under the sunset not far away. In this block world, the scenery is surprisingly unique.

But he was alone at the birth point, there was no novice village, no novice guide NPC.

Liu Peijia searched all the options of the game, but did not find any novice tasks, not even a novice tutorial.

He looked at the rainbow in the distance and asked the ultimate question of human philosophy -

Who am I?

Where am I?

What should I do?
