Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

As we all know, no matter how Taipingdao develops, hardcore has always been its game feature.

Games like Kerbal Space Program, Oxygen, Cities Skylines, Digital Combat Sim World, Tactical Squad and more.

Even in the hardcore, there are tutorials for beginners.

Even the novice tutorials for these games are either equally hardcore or very short.

But at least there is, right?

Good guy!

How come in Minecraft, even the novice tutorial has been canceled?

As everyone knows, this is one of the reasons why Minecraft is able to attract countless players.

Players can play freely and freely in the created world. There are no novice tasks and no restrictions. They can play however they want.

Generally speaking, a game will set up many levels, waiting for players to break through. When the player breaks through the last level, the entire game has been cleared.

But Minecraft is a special case. This game has no end point in the eyes of players, let alone clearing the level. The player's path of survival and adventure is never-ending.

However, there are also many players who like to set some standards for themselves to pass the level to motivate themselves.

One of the more mainstream and recognized by the public is to defeat the Ender Dragon.

Because the Ender Dragon is the biggest BOSS in Minecraft, players initially aim to defeat the Ender Dragon.

From the very beginning of survival and development in the tree, to step by step strengthening equipment and weapons, finding the fortress, activating the end portal, fighting the ender dragon, finally defeating the ender dragon, looking for the end ruins, and finally reading the end poem.

In the eyes of most novice players, this is already considered a level pass.

But when they actually reach this step, they will find that this can only be regarded as a small goal, or the most basic level of clearance.

When a player defeats the Ender Dragon, do all game achievements need to be unlocked?

The game achievements have been unlocked. Do you want to build a huge building complex?

All these are not enough.

It can be said that Minecraft is a game where as long as the player wants it, there is only a midpoint and no end.

In the live broadcast room, there is always no shortage of messengers, and some players who have watched Minecraft in other live broadcast rooms have posted barrage——

"Eggplant, there are no novice tasks in this game, and there is no novice guidance. You can play however you want."

"Yes, you are now at the first level of Freud's hierarchy of needs theory - survival needs. Rely on your own abilities first to satisfy your survival needs."

"Damn, you're awesome upstairs. Watch the live broadcast and you can even bring up Freud. I admire you."

"Eggplant, although you don't have tools now, you can pull out trees with your bare hands. With the wood blocks, you can make weapons, armor and tools."

"Pull up the tree with your bare hands? It's interesting, it's really interesting." Liu Peiqie thought about it for a long time before he came to his senses:

"If you want to be rich, you have to plant trees first, right?"

"The old thief is really brave and talented. Okay, I'll weigh the value of this game right now."

Liu Peijie controlled the movement keys on the keyboard and walked across the hillside. Following Steve's crazy pace, he came to a big tree made of brown squares.

Liu Peiqie pressed the mouse for a long time, and Steve stretched out his hands and started to stroke the big tree crazily.

After a while, a square stump of the big tree shrank to the size of a Rubik's Cube, and was automatically absorbed into Liu Peiqie's inventory.

[New recipe has been unlocked: please check your recipe book]

Unlocking a new formula should be an exciting thing, but Liu Peiqiao had an unbelievable expression on his face.

Because of the big tree in front of him, a middle area was broken by Liu Peiqie, but the tree did not fall down entirely.

Instead, it still stood in place. Even the upper part that was cut off at the waist was still floating and motionless.

Liu Peiqia: "..."

What the hell?

Physics no longer exists?

"Can you still play like this?" Liu Peiqie walked under the tree and looked up at the unharmed tree trunk above:

"The boards of Newton's coffin can no longer hold it."

The water friends in the live broadcast room burst out laughing when they saw this, feeling as if they were watching Grandma Liu enter the Grand View Garden.

In fact, this was the first time they saw this scene in another live broadcast room, and they had the same expression as Liu Peijie.

A sentence from the science fiction novel The Three-Body Problem came to mind—

Physics no longer exists!

Later, when players started playing it themselves, they discovered that in this block world, even in survival mode, everything is possible.

"Eggplant, you are a great anchor after all, don't act like you have never seen the world!"

"Sprinkle some water! Newton has never played Minecraft, otherwise he would have lamented that physics is dead."

"Kennedy: Minecraft? What an imaginative game!"

"I've left you with the unique skill of pulling out trees with your bare hands. Come on, do it well, or you'll be miserable at night!"

When Liu Peijie saw this barrage, he suddenly came back to his senses.

night?

Do you have my good fruit to eat?

yes--

If it wasn't dangerous, what would it be called survival mode?

If there are no enemies, why do we need health bars?

night?

Liu Peijia turned around and found that the sun had set. Not only was there not much time left for the Chinese football team, but now there was not much time left for him.

"Let's do it, let's do it!"

He clicked the mouse furiously and worked hard to pull up the tree, and soon harvested many pieces of wood.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Peijie called up the character interface and found that the character column had four equipment slots, a weapon slot, and a field-shaped synthesis column composed of four small grids on the right.

The synthesis function allows players to use items in their inventory to create new tools and blocks.

Players can synthesize in the 2x2 field grid in the inventory, or in the 3×3 grid provided by the workbench.

The synthesis function is a very important game function in Minecraft. Only by mastering the synthesis function and various recipes can you gradually get started and understand the fun of Minecraft.

After Liu Peiqie checked the recipe book, he used one log to make four planks, and then used four planks to make a workbench.

The shape of this workbench is a cube, with eight corners wrapped in patterns and a nine-square grid pattern in the center.

Liu Peiqia placed the workbench on the ground and successively made more wooden boards and wooden sticks. According to the recipe guidelines, he finally made a wooden pickaxe——

[Name: Wooden Pickaxe]

[+2 attack damage]

[+12 attack speed]

The emergence of tools heralded more efficient production. Liu Peiqie dug all the way down to collect soil and stones.

[Progress achieved - Stone Age]

"Eh? That's interesting!"

When Liu Peiqia saw the prompt, he could not suppress his joy.

He was intoxicated by the charm of Minecraft, which was created from scratch and built a country with bare hands.

The most important thing is that when Liu Peiqia collected the stones, he also unlocked a new formula.

Liu Peiqie continued to explore at the workbench, using wooden sticks and stones to make a more efficient tool - a stone pick!

[Name: Stone Pickaxe]

[+3 attack damage]

[+12 attack speed]

"I'll just replace the gun with the cannon!" Liu Peijie said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that I have such a high talent in the game Minecraft."

"Let me see, what else can be made with the existing recipes? Stone axe? OK, with the stone axe, we can avoid pulling down trees with bare hands. Need more stones? No problem!"

Liu Peijie dug underground and obtained enough stones to make a stone axe.

[Name: Stone Ax]

[+9 attack damage]

[+0.8 attack speed]

The attack power of stone axes is much higher than that of stone pickaxes.

With weapons in hand, I have the world!

Liu Peiqia put away his workbench and stood on the hillside, overlooking the surroundings.

He found that there were many animals in the plains. Although they were all abstract animals constructed of blocks, the differences between animals such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep could be vaguely distinguished by their appearance.

"food?!"

Liu Peiqia's eyes lit up. He had not forgotten that he had chosen survival mode. His hunger level would be reduced, so he could not survive without food supplements.

Liu Peiqie carried a stone ax and went on a killing spree in the plains. The animals couldn't dodge and fell to the ground howling miserably, becoming his food supply.

During this period, Liu Peiqia discovered another tool furnace, which could produce various foods by consuming wood and raw meat.

There is food and weapons, but all Liu Peiqia has to do is write the word "Dang" on his face and shout: "Who else!"

At this moment, the setting sun has completely disappeared into the mountains, the sky is getting dark, night is about to fall, and the player's vision is also disturbed to some extent.

As soon as Liu Peijie used his workbench to make a bed, he saw two red dots flashing and moving not far away. He looked carefully and found that the two red dots were actually the eyes of a huge spider.

The moment it saw Liu Peiqia, the big spider danced its limbs and took the initiative to attack.

"Hey, kid, are you still excited? Countless chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep have died under my command. Why are you so rich? In my eyes, you are nothing!"

Liu Peijia waved the stone ax in his hand and launched an active attack with great heroism: "Today I will show you my random cloak ax technique!"

That’s what you say, and that’s what you do.

But after the actual battle, Liu Peiqiao discovered that the big spider's attack speed is very fast, it can move more nimbly than players, and it does high damage. It can also jump to attack.

Shenfa!

It’s definitely Shenfa!

You spider, instead of learning to weave webs, you have to learn body skills instead, right?

Do you think you are Spider-Man?

I'm fighting, I'm fighting, I'm fighting!

Liu Peiqia gritted his teeth and chose to fight head-on. As the saying goes, if you beat the master to death with random punches, the ax is not a vegetarian.

It was not easy to get rid of a big spider, and the material it dropped was the first time Liu Peiqiao had seen it.

But before Liu Peiqia could be happy for a long time, he discovered that there were several zombies behind and in front of him heading in his direction.

"Your mother's kiss is to bully the less with more? Are you still human if you bully the less with more?"

Liu Peiqia smiled bitterly and said, "Well, you guys are really not human."

"No, what should I do now? In my state, wouldn't a zombie hit me the same as hitting my son?"

In the live broadcast room, netizens saw such a joyful scene and posted comments one after another——

"Big Spider: Kill my brothers and sisters? You monster, take your life!"

"Three Cyber ​​Heroes fighting Cyber ​​Lu Bu? What a great drama!"

"What are you afraid of? Why don't you dare to fight with the big spider?"

"I didn't expect that Eggplant's first time would be dedicated to a big spider like this. You can't do this, right?"

Liu Peiqiao glanced at the health bar. His health was still recovering slowly. Zombies and big spiders were in front of him. He suddenly had an idea.

Liu Peijie took out his stone pickaxe and dug into the ground. He quickly dug out three spaces that could accommodate himself. He jumped down and filled the space above his head with soil clods.

When the clods of earth blocked the remaining gap, the cave became pitch black and you couldn't see your fingers.

Liu Peijia listened carefully and could even hear the sounds of zombies and big spiders walking above the cave.

They lingered in place unwillingly, but they had no choice but to rage against Liu Peiqie.

Player: "!!!"

Water friend: "!!!"

Cyber ​​version digs its own grave?

Holy shit!

See you soon!

I've seen someone fight one against a hundred, I've seen someone with swift movement, it's the first time I've seen someone dig his own grave and fake his own death to escape.

"Eggplant, you have changed, you have refreshed the player offline."

"Oh my god! Why didn't I think of this move? Damn it, didn't I die in vain before?"

"Yes, physics no longer exists in my world, so this method is feasible. Doesn't that mean that building castles in the air is also feasible?"

"Upstairs, your method is interesting. Wait for me to try it."

Liu Peiqia saw the water friend's remarks and argued: "What do you know? How can this be digging your own grave? This is obviously to protect yourself."

"To survive or not to perish, that is the question, do you understand?"

"I'm alive now, which is called awesome! If I hadn't been born at dusk on the first day, leaving me too little time, how could I be in such a mess?"

"As long as I get through the first day safely, with the resources I have collected and the formulas I have unlocked, I will build a shelter during the day tomorrow so that you can see how powerful I am."

Liu Peijia swore a lot and said a lot. In the end, he looked at the dark environment in front of him, feeling extremely depressed and asked:

"By the way, brothers, how long does one night in my world last?"

The water friend in the live broadcast room laughed and said——

"Why do you care about this? Why don't you just stay in your cyber paradise?"

Liu Peijia shook his head and said: "That's not possible. The early stage is the critical moment for snowballing. How can I waste a whole night in vain?"

Liu Peiqia looked around, glanced at the reserves in the inventory, thought for a long time, and decided not to waste any time, digging from the ground to collect various soil, stones, and mineral resources.

He vaguely remembered that there was a downward slope due to the north. Maybe he could dig all the way and dig a tunnel from there to avoid the monster above him.

Liu Peiqie did what he said. He spent a whole night digging around in the ground. He not only harvested a lot of soil, stones, but also a lot of minerals.

Unknowingly, Liu Peiqie was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.

I don't know how long it took, when he dug all the way up the stairs, climbed to the ground, dug up the soil above his head, and looked out.

Liu Peiqia found that it was bright and clear, with a flawless blue sky and a few white clouds dotting it, and it was already daytime.

Liu Peiqia crawled out from the ground and said with great ambition:

"Okay, guys, it's now!"

"Watch me build a super awesome shelter!"
