National Game Producer

The night after the competition ends, it is the overtime time for the competition review teachers.

No one likes to work overtime.

No one likes to stay up late and work overtime.

As a result, the teachers vented their grievances on the game.

They have extremely strict requirements on the works of these competition students. If there is anything inappropriate in the game, a large number of points will be deducted.

——Anyway, as long as everyone's review standards are consistent, no matter how low the average score is, they can always be ranked first, second, or third.

Of course, a student work cannot be reviewed by a teacher alone.

For a highly subjective review task like this, the standard model is for three teachers in the group to conduct cross-reviews.

After all three teachers have reviewed the work, the scores of the work will be summarized and sent to the group leader, who will finally review and evaluate the final score of the work.

Although this still cannot guarantee absolute fairness and justice, it at least eliminates the influence of most subjective factors.

Temporary review room.

The young white-haired Hu Yingqiu took a sip of water and rested for a while, then began to review his third student work.

"Stardew Valley"

Seeing the name of the game, Hu Yingqiu was a little confused, so he naturally deducted five points from this work.

The game name is the face of a game. If the name is not simple and straightforward, how can we attract people to download and play it?

——This is an objective reason.

I hate the Riddler the most!

——This is a subjective reason.

After deducting points, he clicked on the game and entered the initial interface.

There is no "Start Game" option on the interface, only four options: "Create", "Load", "Cooperate", and "Exit".

Hu Yingqiu still didn't understand why, and wanted to deduct points, but held back.

Because the game's art style is fresh and cute, which suits his taste very well. Coupled with the relaxing and melodious background music, it calmed down his inner irritability without even realizing it.

...For the sake of the art style, I will not deduct points for the time being.

Hu Yingqiu clicked on the [Create] option and entered a strange naming interface.

this……

He suppressed his imminent urge to break up and examined it carefully.

The current game should not be a traditional text avg, but a new type of game.

The attitude of the "bosses" towards new types of games is very important.

"The name of the farm...favorite things...animal preferences...what the hell is this? I have my own farm and can I raise animals?"

Hu Yingqiu filled in the blank columns one by one while whispering.

As for the image of the villain on the side, as well as the [Skin Color], [Hair], [Top], and [Pants] options below, he understood it.

Isn’t this just asking him to create a character image that he likes?

It looks quite interesting...

Hu Yingqiu took great interest in creating the image of a sunny and handsome young man, and then glanced at the [OK] button in the lower right corner, which was still in a dim and unselectable state.

Only then did he notice that there was a row of farms on the right side of the interface for him to choose.

[Standard Farm], [Riverside Farm], [Forest Farm], [Mountaintop Farm]...

Is this really a farming game?

With doubts, he chose [Standard Farm], then clicked [OK] to start the game directly.

After the game starts, there is an animation with very few frames.

The general plot of the animation is:

The grandson received a special gift from his grandfather before his death - a letter.

Grandpa asked his grandson not to open it immediately, but to wait until he is tired of the repetitive, boring, and tedious work, and the light in his heart is gradually eroded by the darkness, and he is struggling to get out of the predicament before opening the letter.

Many years later.

The grandson was overwhelmed by life in the big city and finally opened the letter.

The letter contained my grandfather's last words and a land deed.

It turns out that grandpa hopes that his grandson can regain the most important thing in life when he is tired of life——

The connection between people and the relationship between people and nature.

The key to retrieving all this lies in the land deed in the letter.

That was the place where grandpa placed all his good things and hopes during his lifetime——

A farm built in Stardew Valley.

In the end, the grandson chose to follow his grandfather's will, leave everything in the big city, and go to Stardew Valley alone.

…

After watching this simple, fresh, yet touching animation.

Hu Yingqiu couldn't help but let out a sigh, and a complex and difficult emotion slowly came to his heart.

Why don’t I have such a fun grandpa!

I have long been tired of the boring life in big cities!

I also want to inherit a farm and return to the embrace of nature!

After sighing, Hu Yingqiu already had a lot of expectations for the follow-up content of this game.

He knows very well that the producers of this game want to directly integrate everything that people long for and think is most beautiful into the game world, so that players can experience those things that only exist in their imaginations through the game.

good.

How can players who can't get "beauty" in real life not look forward to such a game world?

This idea...

This game idea...

Hu Yingqiu couldn't help but go out and look at the producers of "Stardew Valley".

Why... Yu Suai...

Why do these two names look familiar?

He thought carefully for a while and couldn't remember who these two people were, so he gave up the memory and returned to the game.

The game continues.

The grandson arrives in Stardew Valley and triggers a short conversation with a woman and the mayor.

After the conversation, the grandson rested all night in the old house.

At the same time, the words "Progress Saved" also appeared in the lower left corner of the screen.

It seems that this game saves the game progress by letting the character sleep.

By the second morning in the game, Hu Yingqiu could already control his "grandson" to move around freely.

The game has officially started.

As someone who has played "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Hu Yingqiu is not unfamiliar with similar gameplay at all.

He controlled the character, opened a gift box in the old house, and obtained a pack of "parsnip" seeds.

At this time, a task prompt popped up in the game.

He received two tasks.

1. Say hello to the people in town (2/28)

2. Plant and harvest "parsnips".

‘This is where the life of a farmer begins!’

Hu Yingqiu sighed softly, and then followed the novice's instructions and began to stumblingly perform operations such as reclaiming land, planting "parsnip" seeds, and collecting water for watering.

There are also restrictions on the physical strength bar in the game. Operations related to farm work require a certain amount of physical strength. Once the physical strength is exhausted, the character can no longer work and can only wait for the next day to recover.

After Hu Yingqiu planted the "parsnip" seeds and exhausted his energy, he controlled the character to come to the town and began the task of greeting the NPC.

Soon, it became dark in the game.

Hu Yingqiu was worried about what would happen if he didn't sleep, so he immediately controlled the character to go home and sleep.

A day in the game passed like this.

Game progress is saved.

The next day started quickly.

'Today I will water the parsnip seeds first, then continue to cultivate the land and use up my energy, and finally go to the town to say hello to people and take a look at what shops are there...'

Hu Yingqiu made a plan for the day in his mind and started executing it immediately.

Hey, this game is really interesting.
