Chapter 188 "Story of Stardew Valley"! Create your exclusive cloud breeding countryside!
The prototype of the game that Chu Jun showed to his employees was a farming game that was popular all the time in his previous life and became popular all over the country: QQ Farm.
Of course, he does not intend to directly use QQ Farm to make the game launched this time, but only uses its farming system concept to explain the core gameplay and settings of the farming flow game for employees.
The popularity of QQ Farm was indispensable in the Earth in the previous life.
In the period around 2010, computers and the Internet had just begun to become popular in the country.
This also means the rise of online social networking.
Everyone feels very novel about interacting with netizens online.
So, social companies began to consider using games, such as no-threshold entertainment methods, to retain a large user base with social needs in China.
A series of web games such as QQ farms, parking space grabbing, QQ supermarkets, etc. have begun to become popular under this demand.
You only need a computer that can open a web page to play, and the requirements for computer configuration are almost the lowest.
Secondly, the contents of growing vegetables, opening supermarkets and grabbing parking spaces are closely related to life, and the players have a strong sense of substitution, which means that they cover a wide range of people.
at last.
They also have a core element that is completely different from other games - taking advantage of it.
The fun feeling of the game is of course diverse, it can be a sense of comfort, a sense of accomplishment, or a sense of expectation brought by growth.
But if you can take advantage of others in the game, even if you have a bigger advantage, it will make people feel a sense of joy that you will win.
Moreover, when this kind of secret joy does not require any price to be paid and bears any moral condemnation.
It will intensify.
The famous great writer Leo Tolstoy once said: If you have a advantage, don’t take any bastards.
Another literary master, Mr. Romain Rolland, also said: There is only one kind of heroism in this world, that is, after seeing the truth about being innocent, he still loves it!
So, the mini-game led by QQ Farm began to spread like a virus.
After the development of the first generation of smart phones, they became a household name for the social game lord!
The iron law of taking advantage is applicable even if it is placed on Blue Star.
But QQ Farm is a product of the times after all.
In that era when the Internet was just emerging, everyone had limited entertainment methods.
You can neither watch videos nor download various APPs on your mobile phone.
Even the touch screen is still in the stage of Xiaobawang learning machine - click wherever you can.
I was already very happy to be able to go to the web version of QQ Farm and steal some other people's vegetables.
at the moment.
On the premise that Blue Star Technology is even higher than Earth civilization.
Human entertainment is becoming more and more diverse.
This simple game structure and a single gameplay excitement can no longer meet the needs of current players.
And, it's too easy to replicate.
Don’t look at the two game companies, Penguin and Netnan, are now scrambling to establish a good relationship with Junyue.
But once they are found, they will definitely run away faster than dogs.
Luotianyi Supermarket, which was previously designed with QQ Supermarket as a prototype, is a good example.
It became popular quickly, but it was also lonely.
The main reason is that the structure is too monotonous. After playing for a while, I found that it was nothing more than shelf upgrades, items upgrades, and customer acquisitions.
If you play too much, you will get tired of it.
Therefore, Chu Jun does not intend to promote the simple game QQ Farm on Blue Star.
QQ Farm is not feasible, but the type of farming game is absolutely fine.
For Chinese people, farming and infrastructure are almost programs engraved in DNA.
It has its own favorability.
"Mr. Chu, let's make a plan! I can't wait to play this game!" Peng Yuyan stood up with a "teng" and clenched his fists and said loudly.
"No, no, I won't make this one." Chu Jun shook his head: "I will show you the concept of farming flow and its playability first."
“Don’t make this one?”
"Then is there any better alternative?" Everyone looked at each other.
The prototype of this game is already very creative. With the quality and settings in order to be more exquisite, you will be a hit product with your feet.
But if you abandon this farm's original form, it is easy to go astray.
"It's small, the pattern is small." Chu Jun's eyes swept at everyone: "It's too boring to just grow vegetables."
"What if I add some other content to the vegetable planting?"
"For example?" Everyone's curiosity became swelling.
“For example, logging, mining.”
"Uh..." Ling Tianhang hesitated: "If farming is because of a sense of substitution, then logging and mining are nothing to do with our real life..."
"Don't worry about this." Chu Jun gave another example: "Log logging and mining may not have a sense of inclusion, and the identity of players in their lives is too far away from loggers and miners. But what if we add some conditions?"
"Wood dropped by logging can be made into various props, and the wood will become useful."
Hearing this, Ling Tianhang's eyes suddenly became a little brighter.
"Then upgrade the logging tools. If you cut down a tree more than ten times at the beginning, then as the tool level in your hand increases, the logging will be faster and faster, and in the end, you can even cut down a tree in one go."
"The same is true for mining. The upgrade of mining tools has gradually increased mining efficiency."
Some employees were already exclaiming: "Damn it! Playability has increased instantly!"
"In order to prevent players from getting tired of playing in the short term, in addition to farming, mining, and logging, we can also set fishing settings." Chu Jun told the imagination in his mind.
"You can not only fish, but also use shrimp and crab cages to catch some seafood."
"Finally join the combat system, causing some minor trouble to the players who go to the mine."
"To summarize these five behaviors as the core of the game: farming, logging, mining, fishing and fighting."
The integration of five elements greatly improves the playability of the game.
"Indeed, I was thinking just now that if I only farm, would players end up like Luo Tianyi Supermarket? Players may lose their pit due to boredom in just one week." Yang Mai nodded in agreement: "But after listening to Mr. Chu's five core structures, this game has begun to become interesting."
"I have a hunch that it's another hit!"
"It's Mr. Chu, just thinking about it casually is a hit theme." A senior executive sighed.
Chu Jun said again: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning."
"A start?" All the senior officials were slightly stunned when they heard this.
Many games, if you make one core, you already have the potential to be popular.
The two cores go hand in hand, which is enough to make players praise.
If it goes up to three cores, four cores or even five cores, and the optimization of each core is good enough.
This is definitely a hit.
But unexpectedly, Mr. Chu said that this was just the beginning?
What else can be added?
"Social?" Xu Nianqing responded with a sudden whim.
"Yes, the social system." Chu Jun glanced over Xu Nianqing with a thumbs up: "It is not difficult to see from the previous national games of our company that the social system is of great significance. It is also a shortcut to become a phenomenal game."
"But... what's sociable about farming..." Peng Yuyan scratched his hair for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.
Where is the sociality of farming?
You can't just pull off the plump cucumbers that are growing well in the vegetable garden, and pull the girl who came to visit her home and asked: "Stinky sister, do you think my brother's cucumbers are big?", "Does my sister like big ones?"
Or: ‘My orchard is quite big’, ‘Come to my orchard and pick it casually.’, ‘If you are tired of picking, just go to bed, it doesn’t matter.’
No matter what you think, it's scary, okay...
Not only Peng Yuyan, but also many senior executives, did not understand the sociality of farming games.
But Chu Jun's next words made everyone stare at a sudden burst of their eyes and exclaim that they were thrilling.
"Stealing vegetables."
"After the social system is opened, friends can steal each other's vegetables, or they can steal the other's cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks raised by each other, and go to the other's pond to fish."
As soon as these words were said, many male employees stared at each other.
Damn it!
