Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

In the office.

Lanni sat opposite Cai Gou, drinking tea in large gulps, trying to use the tea to drown the irritability in his heart.

interesting?

When Lani heard Cai Gou's words, he felt inexplicably calm, but he couldn't help but ask:

"General, what's an interesting idea?"

"Like you said."

Cai Gou explained while pouring tea for Lani:

"We took the first step in the chain strategy used by Leon this time, and he just wanted to step on us to get the upper hand."

"only……"

Lanny asked, "Just what?"

"It's just that the steam platform has a big business, so how can it be so petty when it comes to organizing an event?" Cai Gou shook his head and said, "Five million? Are you sending a beggar?"

"Then let's follow suit and hold an event to increase the bonus?" Lanny gave his own strategy.

Cai Gou thought for a moment and said: "It's not impossible, but you can't copy it. Once you fall into Leon's rhythm, there will be no traps behind."

"In this way, you contact all the famous people at Taiping Road and gather in the conference room on the top floor in an hour."

Lanny nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll go now."

After Lanni left, Cai Gou returned to his desk, pulled up his chair and sat in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard with flying hands.

This time, the Steam Platform and the Destiny Game Platform are facing each other tit for tat. It can be said that they are tit for tat.

I don’t know how many people are involved behind the two parties, let alone how many people in the gaming industry are watching.

Although Tianming Platform is gaining momentum, it has just been established after all.

The Total Sense Game Alliance has just recruited its first batch of members, and these game manufacturers basically choose to join for profit.

The more critical this moment is, the less likely Taipingdao is to show any signs of decline. Otherwise, once it falls into a disadvantage, I don’t know how many people will choose to add insult to injury.

Following the trend of the steam platform, conducting a game easter egg activity and hiding the easter egg keys in 72 games requires too much organization and manpower.

The most important thing is that the 72 game manufacturers are not entirely their own. If something goes wrong along the way, it will end in failure.

Moreover, if you copy the other party's treasure hunting activities, players will say that you are not creative and that painting a tiger will not turn out to be an anti-dog.

It would be better to... based on this, incorporate the creativity of Taipingdao.

When Cai Gou thought of this, the first thing that came to his mind was the hot issue that was making a fuss all over the Internet——

In my world, how many fields can be irrigated by a bucket of water?

If there is any game that is not only a blank sheet of paper, but also has enough highlights to allow players to express their creativity, then it is definitely Minecraft.

For the treasure hunt activity on the Steam platform, Cai Gou decided to go in the opposite direction by uniting 18 game manufacturers. This time the activity was only for the game Minecraft.

But in between, there is still a prerequisite, which is the addition of Redstone Technology.

As we all know, in Minecraft, with and without redstone technology, there are two completely different games for players.

certainly.

Strictly speaking, the appearance of redstone technology in the Minecraft game is not concentrated in a single version.

Rather, it is gradually added and improved as the game continues to be updated and iterated.

In the early stage of [Alpha], redstone ore, redstone powder, redstone torches, and some simple circuit components began to be added to the game, which marked the initial introduction of redstone technology.

During the [Beta1.2] period, the thrower was added. This is a block with multiple functions and plays an important role in the expansion of the redstone system.

During the [Beta1.5] period, the birth of powered rails further enriched the application scenarios of the redstone system.

At the same time, the addition of pistons enables the redstone system to push blocks, which greatly enhances the functionality and playability of the redstone system.

During this period, some players had already used these redstone components to create complex redstone devices such as piston doors and electronic calculators.

With the release of the official version of the game, the redstone system continues to be improved.

In the [Release1.2.1] version, comparators and sensing components were added, making the redstone system more diverse.

The addition of command blocks makes the redstone system programmable, providing players with almost unlimited possibilities to create complex redstone devices and machines.

As Minecraft continues to develop, the redstone system has been continuously updated and optimized in subsequent versions.

It was the multiple rounds of iterative updates of Redstone Technology that gave birth to Redstone Technology, which was finally known by the majority of netizens and created a famous scene by technology players.

Of course, because redstone technology is extremely difficult to get started with, many players who break defenses also call redstone technology——

Akaashi Technology.

In this, the meaning that players love and hate is evident.

Cai Gou knows how shocking the launch of Redstone Technology will be to players.

Therefore, when the Minecraft game project team was established, Zhu Ping An was secretly arranged to develop the red stone technology version.

Nowadays, Minecraft does not need to undergo multiple rounds of iterative updates and spend many years perfecting redstone technology. Instead, the complete version of redstone technology can be presented to players.

Of course, redstone technology alone is not enough.

Based on the game Minecraft, various activity ideas have sprung up in Cai Gou's mind.

If you are confident in your mind, you will naturally write as if you are inspired.

Cai Gou spent half an hour to finalize the activity plan.

Cai Gou called his secretary to print the paper documents and followed him to the reception room on the top floor.

At this moment, Zhong Chu, Fei Yangyang, Zhu Pingan, Wu Xiu, Xu Lai, Lan Ni, the five members of the Xianzhen Camp, the top flower names of the Taiping Dao food chain, have all arrived.

Everyone has learned the purpose of this gathering from Lan Ni, and they gathered in twos and threes to discuss how to deal with it.

When everyone saw Cai Gou push the door in, they stood up to greet him.

"Brother Gou!"

"Boss Cai!"

"General!"

"Brother!"

The greetings came one after another, and there were all kinds of calls.

Cai Gou waved his hand to let everyone sit down. The secretary distributed the activity plan to everyone present, then left the reception room, closed the door, and stationed outside the door.

Cai Gou looked around at everyone and said, "We are all family. I believe you have heard the purpose of calling you here from Lanny, so I won't say any more nonsense."

"I called you here today because I want Taipingdao to set up a jury for the next event. The jury members will be all of you and me."

"As for what this event is like, you can listen to my explanation while looking at the event design plan."

Cai Gou stood up and paced in front of everyone to explain:

"Leon's chain of tricks may have a backhand, so it is not advisable to copy their model completely."

"And if we pull the All-Sense Game Alliance to participate in this event, there is no guarantee that one of them will cause any trouble. Therefore, they don't need to show up for this event. We are fully responsible."

Fei Yangyang, Zhu Ping'an and others all nodded when they heard it, indicating that they understood.

Cai Gou continued, "The name of our event this time is - Who can become a multimillionaire! The game selected is - My World."

Everyone: "!!!"

Who can become a multimillionaire?

The cash prize is directly raised to the level of 10 million?

No... Wait, I'm a little confused.

Boss, what did you say?

The game selected for the event is, Minecraft?

Such a high cash prize!

Let alone choosing a 3A masterpiece, at least choose a game with a full-body game cabin as the main battlefield, right?

What the hell is choosing Minecraft, a block game?

Everyone was dumbfounded. Fei Yangyang and Zhu Pingan, as Cai Gou's most staunch supporters, did not speak.

Zhu Pingan is the person in charge of the Minecraft game project. He knows more inside information than others and understands the existence of redstone technology.

Fei Yangyang simply trusts Cai Gou 100%. Whatever Cai Gou says is what he does, and he just follows orders.

But the others present couldn't help but speak and express their opinions.

Zhong Chu asked in confusion: "General, can a block game support an 18-week event? Isn't this too hasty?"

Without waiting for Cai Gou to answer, Wu Xiu directly scolded:

"Zhong Chu, I told you to listen more, watch more, and talk less in the meeting. If you had just taken a look at the event plan, you wouldn't have said such a thing!"

Cai Gou smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, speak freely."

Seeing this, Zhu Pingan stood up and said: "I am the person in charge of the Minecraft game project, let me explain first."

In front of everyone, Zhu Pingan explained to everyone what kind of existence redstone technology is, and the almost endless potential of Minecraft, and finally said:

"In my opinion, Minecraft is fully capable of supporting an 18-week event."

Everyone nodded in sudden enlightenment, and Cai Gou appreciated Zhu Pingan's speech Youjia, then said:

"I still understand the principle that a single tree cannot support the whole, so in this event of who can become a multi-millionaire, redstone technology is just a representative."

"The event will be divided into three major areas-"

"Redstone competition area: players use redstone technology to create works that subvert players' imagination."

"Architecture competition area: players use various materials to design various magnificent buildings."

"Speed ​​pass competition area: with killing the ender dragon as the end, it aims to allow top technical players to show their skills."

"At the same time, open the creative workshop to allow more players to participate, use the players' wonderful ideas, and jointly expand my world, and expand the game culture ecology of my world at the fastest speed."

Cai Gou explained the activity plan and specific plan of my world to everyone with a eloquent voice.

Fei Yangyang, Zhong Chu, Zhu Ping'an and others looked through the activity design plan while listening to Cai Gou's explanation, trying to keep up with Cai Gou's explanation ideas.

"Brother Gou, I have a question."

Fei Yangyang asked: "How to divide the prize money among the three competition areas? Is it a total of 10 million prize money for the three competition areas? Isn't this difficult to divide?"

Others looked at Cai Gou at the same time when they heard this, wanting to know more about this issue.

"You, the flower monk, are petty, and have a small vision!"

Cai Gou explained: "If there is really a 10 million prize money divided into three competition areas, isn't this too petty?"

"Each sub-competition area has a prize money of 10 million, the champion 5 million, the runner-up 3 million, the third place 1 million, and the two winners share 1 million."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Now 30 million prize money has been given out, and from what Cai Gou said, it seems that there is more than that.

Sure enough!

Cai Gou continued: "The ranking of the players in the above sub-divisions will be jointly selected by the players and the judges."

"When the 15-week sub-division activities are over and the three sub-division champions are selected, the spokesperson campaign will be launched in the last three weeks."

"During these three weeks, the players will vote to determine the first, second and third place, and the champion will receive a multi-million spokesperson contract from the Tianming Game Platform!"

"He will become the spokesperson for the entire series of products under our Taipingdao Company, including the Tianming Game Platform, the Taipingdao Community APP, and the virtual game cabin."

Fei Yangyang: "!!!"

Zhu Pingan: "!!!"

It turns out that the sub-division activities in the first 15 weeks were just appetizers, and the real main course was the spokesperson campaign in the last 3 weeks.

Multi-million spokesperson contract!

For an ordinary player, isn't this a step to success and fame?

No wonder Cai Gou named this event "Who can become a multi-millionaire!"

Because, this is really a multi-millionaire in the literal sense!

No wonder Cai Gou decided to name the game of this event as Minecraft.

Because only Minecraft can support this event!

Other games are nothing more than formulating competition rules in terms of competition, singles, team battles, etc., and it is hard to say whether they make some insignificant innovations in the game system.

How can it be like Minecraft, which can be divided into three sub-competition areas: redstone, speed pass, and construction, just based on the gameplay.

After everyone digested this information, Cai Gou continued:

"I am the chairman of the jury established this time, Wu Ge is responsible for logistics and operations, Zhong Chu and Zhu Pingan are responsible for the redstone sub-competition area. Fei Yangyang and Lanny are responsible for the speed pass competition area, and Xu Lai and the five-member team of the trap camp are responsible for the construction competition area."

Everyone nodded when they heard this, indicating that they understood.

Cai Gou finally said: "From now on, the 18 weeks will be the cycle of this activity. I hope everyone will do their best to give full play to their talents."

"We will strive to make the entire gaming community only know about Taipingdao's Who Can Become a Millionaire event in the end, and make the treasure hunt event on the Steam platform a thing of the past."

"During the event, any problems encountered, including funding, venues, and specific details of the sub-division plan, can be discussed with me and Wu Ge."

"After the meeting, all publicity channels of Taipingdao and the publicity channels of the 72 members of the All-Sense Game Alliance must spread Who Can Become a Millionaire to the ears of every player in the gaming circle as quickly as possible."

"Dismiss!"

The people present were excited and understood that they had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders. They had no time to chat at all. They called the judges of the same competition area and returned to the office to discuss their own sub-division plans.

Wu Xiu, known as the general manager of Taipingdao, came to the operation department and personally edited the activity Weibo of Who Can Become a Millionaire.

Wu Xiu tapped his finger and the Weibo was sent.

This scarf, like a bullet, fired the first shot of Taipingdao's comprehensive counterattack on the Steam platform.
