Game Design: It is Very Simple For You To Fill In?

After some explanations, several project managers within Sprout had a rough idea of ​​the game.

Some people insist that humans can win better, while others believe that the butcher's side has a higher winning rate.

It’s hard to come to a conclusion just from a simple discussion, and then all we have to do is wait for the game to be launched.

The game not only has a winner and loser, but also has an ending that all competitive games don't have, "a draw."

There are four humans and one butcher on the field. By default, if three or more humans escape, victory is considered.

Killing three or more butchers is considered a victory.

If two humans escape and two butchers capture, the game is a draw.

The project managers at Germination also didn’t understand the significance of this tie. In their opinion, if the number of survivors was not an even number, would making the number of survivors an odd number would more stimulate players’ desire to win and make the game more exciting and exciting? a little.

But even Supervisor Zhou didn't give everyone an answer to this question, because he thought the same way, isn't odd number bad?

Either win or lose!

Either win or lose! Only in this way can the purpose of competitive games be carried through.

But the old thief still insisted on adding a draw gameplay.

During their internal testing, perhaps there were too few testers and they were unable to develop the game's gameplay.

There is also a gameplay where you can’t get a draw.

But that's the way the game is, everyone can play it to their own taste.

They knew the relevant gameplay and did not reveal any information. It was one thing for people to know it, but it was another thing to announce it to the outside world. Everyone still understood the basic rules.

Yinzi looked at the poster and felt confused.

"The cover does look a bit like a horror game."

"Is it the same type as Escape? A chase?"

After thinking about it, he rejected the idea, because the word "competition" said everything, and both sides would play back and forth.

The barrage can't calm down at this time. Every time a new game category sprouts, it makes everyone's thoughts uneasy.

‘The old thief’s timing was perfect. After I’ve experienced all the plots in Detroit, I can almost play the new game. ’

‘My mother asked me what I was doing hiding in my room every day, asked me why I didn’t go out to play, and told me not to suffocate at home and go out to socialize with friends. ’

“From the time I got into the game until now, my mother thinks that I am a sociopath. In fact, I can call out the whole family of people in the group opposite the game. ’

‘Ever since I got into the old thieves’ game, I don’t like going out to play cards anymore. My wife says I have changed and become more family-oriented. ’

‘Games are truly the most cost-effective means of entertainment. ’

…

Yinzi continued the game he was playing. Under his control, Kara and Alice pretended to be dead and escaped.

Connor and Marcus also triggered the bomb under the Jericho freighter and jumped ship to escape.

After escaping, all the androids came to another gathering place. Most of the androids here had removed the rings on their foreheads and wore ordinary people's clothes. They looked just like ordinary people.

The situation is now very critical. Kara and Alice want to cross the border and need to catch the last bus.

Before leaving, she looked at Marcus, with indescribable emotions in her eyes.

But she only had one sentence, a final wish.

"Marcus...save our people."

In the three lines, players will control different characters at different stages and experience the plots and experiences of the three people. Every time the characters meet and have a conversation, it is like a conversation across time and space.

In the Marcus line, this game is more like a strategy game + parkour game + action game. In the Connor line, it is another kind of gaming experience, which becomes puzzle + development.

However, in the Kara line, the game becomes horror and thriller.

The three protagonists have different experiences in this huge Detroit, but they are crisscrossed and brought together in the same timeline.

The butterfly's wings flicker slowly, just like the player's choice, which can inadvertently affect the development of the game's plot.

It was the first time that everyone understood the concept of parallel worlds so thoroughly.

All this will end in a few hours. In a few hours, either the androids will change the world, or humans will completely scrap them.

This struggle is finally coming to an end.

Here, Connor said to Marcus,

"There are thousands of androids in Mokong Life's assembly plant. If they are successfully awakened, it may be helpful to our plan."

He wants to penetrate there.

If you fail, you will be killed.

But now only Connor can enter it because those people believe in him.

"Statistically speaking, there is basically no chance of success, but there is still a chance of happening."

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into tears.

Androids are still mechanical, and they cannot say any emotional words. They can only count the events that occurred this time based on numerical probabilities.

But if this thing happens to humans, it can be translated as.

‘Even if it means death, I am willing to give it a try. ’

At that moment, the emotion was embodied in Connor. Connor was undoubtedly the best and most capable among them.

He is also the most rational and emotionally unshakable bionic person.

You must know that when players controlled Connor to perform mission activities before, almost every time there was a value representing the success rate.

If it is low, then find a way to improve it.

He has the best performance, so he will solve the problem in the best way.

When he said that there was almost no probability and he was willing to give it a try, everyone knew that Connor had completed his evolution.

In this gathering place where only a little sunlight could penetrate, the androids who believed in Marcus gathered here, hiding their bodies in the dark and listening to Marcus's words.

At this moment, many of their compatriots have been sent to be scrapped.

Now, it is indeed time to make a decision.

Is it a revolution or a struggle!

Put pressure on the android recycling camp with a peaceful attitude, or launch an attack on the recycling camp to liberate the androids.

Marcus stood in front of the stage. As the leader of this group of abnormal androids, he needed to make a decision.

The androids in the dark stood up and listened to his righteous speech.

"Brothers, this is not my saint." Yinzi felt the mission he was carrying. "The androids are really desperate in this struggle."

"There is only one way to fight, and there seems to be a chance to gain freedom."

"Instead of dying, it is better to fight for hope." When he first played the game, he also thought he was a tough guy, but when so many androids just wanted to live a stable life like humans, he knew that he should take another path.

"Don't be influenced by me, take whichever path you want. When playing this game, the most important thing to be firm is your heart."

All androids have only one wish, that is freedom.

Violence is not the only way to solve problems.

Marcus said a very sarcastic word here, "If they still have humanity, they will listen to us."

The word humanity was actually used by the androids to describe humans.

The struggle between androids and humans intensified. The TVs and radios on the roadside kept broadcasting news about the city. The flames sprayed from the muzzles burned throughout the city. The bodies of androids were everywhere on the snow, and the blue blood dyed the white snow surface into ice blue.

Kara still chose to leave. Unlike Marcus and others who wanted to fight, she always wanted to live a free and peaceful life with Alice, like a real family.

They carefully dodged along the way, but still saw Luther being pressed by the soldiers.

He knelt on the ground with his head in his arms, and the soldier's gun was pointed at his forehead.

The two still stopped their steps and hid behind the car looking at Luther in front of them. Although it was dangerous, they decided to find a way to save him.

Just like the character relationship hints given in the previous game, Luther became a family member a long time ago.

"Luther is a family member." Yinzi looked around and there was only a brick not far away.

He quietly went over to pick it up and hit the soldier with his back to him.

The power of the bionic man is unquestionable. Even if it is a housekeeping robot, the power in his hands is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Just a moment, the soldier with his back to him tilted his head and fell down.

Seeing Kara and seeing her come to save him, Luther was extremely excited.

Because he knew better than anyone that Carla wanted to live freely with Alice, and no one could stop her from achieving this goal.

But now, she actually stepped into danger for herself.

This meant that she really regarded herself as a family member.

Because Marcus chose peace, thousands of androids are currently marching on the streets.

As the leader of the androids, Marcus walked in the front.

Carla and the other two were ready to take the last bus to leave, but the last bus was only open to people with tickets.

Here, the three met a family of three and picked up each other's tickets.

To be a human, the first lesson is to learn what love is, and the second lesson is to learn what cruelty is.

The three falling tickets solved their urgent needs, but soon, the owner of the tickets found them back. The couple was holding a baby in their arms. They wanted to take the child away from here and leave Detroit, a dangerous place.

"Have you seen a blue envelope? It contains my ticket." The baby's mother's voice was painful and anxious. She did not doubt Carla, but just eagerly asked if they had seen it.

Looking at the options that popped up in front of him, [Return the ticket] [Leave the ticket]

After a moment of shock, Yinzi felt that this option was reasonable.

He smiled bitterly, "They are human beings. If I don't return the ticket, they won't die, but if I return it, I will most likely die."

In the game, he put himself in the role of a cyborg and hoped to get a perfect ending.

Without hesitation, he chose to stay.

Tightening Alice's hand, she looked at the couple helplessly and shook her head.

Take Luther to the soldiers at the checkpoint, hand over the ticket, and they can take the last bus to leave here and go to Canada.

The couple behind him began to blame each other, began to feel annoyed, and began to worry.

In response, Yinzi just quickened his pace and walked towards the checkpoint.

The ticket in his hand was like a hot potato. Every second he held it in his hand, the more he would suffer.

The barrage also sighed,

'In the game, I will help the cyborg, but in reality, I will choose to hurt. ’

‘Everyone’s choice is correct. The so-called kindness is only for us who play the game, not for the so-called bionic people in the game. ’

‘This game is too amazing. Those who have made fast progress have already completed it once. A rough calculation shows that there are more than a hundred endings. ’

'I didn't expect that the boss's misunderstanding would have a perfect ending. ’

"You can only play this game once. The result of the first time is your real ending, and the subsequent ones are what you yearn for." ’

…

Yinzi controlled the game, and he watched Kara holding Alice's hand and Luther walking out of the station.

He has come to this point step by step, and he learned from the barrage that his current option is actually the perfect option that everyone yearns for.

Can passing this level lead to freedom?

Outside the station is the immigration inspection leading to Canada. Several long straight lines also represent the countless people who want to leave Detroit, leave this place of right and wrong, and go to a place of freedom and peace.

At the end of the line, there is an electronic blackboard.

There is a text on the top that says "rejection of bionic humans". People will be subject to temperature checks when entering the country.

Because these bionic people have no body temperature.

Looking at the heavily guarded soldiers and the staff checking one by one at the window, Kara was filled with despair.

She spent so much effort just to go to Canada and enjoy the freedom in her mind.

Marcus's struggle for freedom was still playing on the wall at the pass. They were surrounded without any resistance and suffered heavy casualties.

Yinzi queued forward, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The team quickly reached them, and several options suddenly popped up on the game screen.

sacrifice.

Sacrifice yourself, or sacrifice Luthor, or sacrifice Jerry, an android who was rescued with Luthor before.

Also, don’t sacrifice.

Although Jerry had already said that he would do anything for her and Alice, it was considered as repaying the previous kindness.

Yinzi didn't look at the barrage, the option progress bar slid quickly, and he directly chose not to sacrifice.

Until now, sacrificing someone for freedom was not what he wanted. He felt that the freedom Kara longed for must be for everyone to live together, rather than abandoning others to survive.

The team continued to move forward, and soon it was the turn of three people.

The staff at the counter asked them to show their IDs, and she handed over the fake IDs she had applied for previously.

The moment the boy at the counter picked up the thermometer gun and scanned the three of them, Kara couldn't help but pray,

"Please, we just want to be free."

The red light of the thermometer gun was already flashing on the three of them, and the expected results were displayed on the other end of the thermometer gun.

The staff just raised their heads and glanced at Marcus, who was protesting peacefully. He did not resist or hurt anyone, but just expressed his desire for peace over and over again.

Then he turned his head and looked at Kara and the three of them.

At this moment, fans who already knew the ending were already screaming on the barrage.

‘The struggle I made before finally paid off. ’

‘I’m just saying, human beings are not bad! ’

‘Always stand firm for peace, only then will public opinion turn to support the freedom of androids. ’

'It is said that Detroit has hundreds of endings, but in my opinion there is only one ending in Detroit, and all other endings violate its original intention. ’

‘This is more cyberpunk than 2077! ’

‘Welcome to Canada! ’

‘Welcome to Canada! ’

…

The staff member at the window did not inform the soldiers around him of the test results. He gently put down the temperature measuring gun in his hand, as if he had completed his normal work.

Handing back the IDs of the three of them, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Welcome to Canada."
