Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 119 I’m going to thrust the umbrella into you and open it (please subscribe)

what?

The price is as high as 198?

what?

Forced double type?

what?

Or a lover's game?

and many more?

Produced by an old thief?

Then it all makes sense!

good! well!

Old thief, you know how to play games!

Is that how you play?

I want to see what the hell you are doing!

Although the players complained, the slogan that Cai Gou's products must be high-quality has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Furthermore, we are not asking players to buy it right away. We need to wait and see the anchors in the game area try it out.

At this point, players have far more patience than they think.

But game designers have very little patience when faced with a two-person trip.

Because in the game industry, the iron rule recognized by game designers is——

Big production and two-player play are considered a pair of mutually exclusive conditions.

The first consideration for large-scale production is that players prefer single-player game mode, and the core gameplay must focus on single-player game experience.

For games specifically created for two-player cooperation, there will be a hard threshold that only two people can play, and sales are not expected to be high.

Large-scale production is basically impossible.

So no matter which platform you participate in the Valentine’s Day Game Exhibition, the volume of games released by various game manufacturers is——

【Games】

Many game manufacturers even regard the Naughty Kitchen released by Taipingdao as a model for two-player cooperative games to learn from.

As a result, Cai Gou broke the iron law of this gaming circle with his backhand?

This shocks game designers far more than players.

Douyu live broadcast platform, game area.

Eggplant had just finished the quarrel and saw that there was no way to go down the stairs.

For him, this wave of mandatory two-person settings for two people to go together is simply a magical operation to give him a pillow if he wants to fall asleep.

He immediately walked to the living room.

"Yaya?"

"what!!!"

"How about playing a game live with me?"

"If you don't go, I have to wash the dishes!"

"Oh, wasn't I live broadcasting just now..."

Under the gentle grinding of the eggplant, Yaya also went down the slope.

When two people appeared in the live broadcast room at the same time. A dense barrage followed.

"Colonel Liu Peiqie, say! What did you do just now?"

"No, you can even get the configuration to play with two people in a row? I thought you would drag your son out!"

"Let me tell you, I'm really curious about this 200 yuan game. Come on! I want to see it!"

"Can Yaya do it?"

"Being north, can Yaya do it? You really can't tell the difference between the big and the small king!"

Eggplant took the initiative to bring over a gaming chair, and the two of them gathered in front of the computer.

Yaya asked curiously:

"What kind of game are you playing? You need two people?"

"The name of the game is Two People." Eggplant shrugged:

"As for the game content? Haha... Single players can't even enter the game."

"Is this game so weird?"

"Well...this was made by the old thief. If it were someone else, I wouldn't blame him."

The two chatted without stopping, and Yaya entered the game after accepting the invitation.

The prologue animation then unfolds.

A car slowly parked in the yard. After Cody threw away a large bag of garbage, Xiaomei got out of the car.

[Cody]: Hey~

[Xiaomei]: How are you doing today?

[Cody]: The toaster is broken and Rose won’t eat her vegetables…

[Xiaomei]: How about going to the dentist?

[Cody]: Dentist?

[Xiaomei]: Don’t tell me, you forgot your dentist appointment?

【…】

The couple quarreled over trivial matters in life, and revealed information that they were about to divorce.

And all this was seen by the daughter upstairs, who was holding two dolls and mumbling something.

At the same time, the character selection pops up.

"Yaya, which one do you choose?"

"I'll choose Xiaomei, she's a woman after all."

"Okay, then I'll play Cody."

After selecting the character, enter a plot again.

on the table.

Cody and Xiaomei have a showdown with their daughter and want a divorce.

The daughter ran to the warehouse alone, took out a book from a corner, and said solemnly——

[Dr. Hakeem, you must help me, they must stay together! 】

【look! It says here - love takes effort! 】

【see it? ! 】

[You have to work hard, you can’t just give up! 】

【Mom, dad...】

【I hope you can become friends again! 】

The daughter sat on her knees and looked at the two dolls representing her father and mother in her hands. Tears fell on the dolls like broken pearls.

As the scene gradually changes to white.

The content of the prologue animation is completely over.

[Chapter 1: The shed·a slap in the face]

In this prologue animation, not only Eggplant and Yaya were confused, but even many friends in the live broadcast room were confused by Monk Zhang Er.

Players rarely see large-scale productions in couple games, let alone the plot of a couple getting divorced.

"Is this definitely a couple's game?"

"I can only say that he has the characteristics of an old thief!"

"This wave, there are a lot of thousand layer cakes, I won't guess yet!"

"Wait a minute!"

"plus one!"

Players have learned well. Although they don't understand it, it is produced by an old thief after all, so they can't make any conclusions yet.

The screen slowly lights up.

The Cody doll half sat on the ground and stretched hard. When he lowered his head, he realized that he had turned into a doll.

"what--"

A scream woke up Xiaomei.

[This...what is going on? 】

【Help--】

[Xiaomei]: Why do you look like a lump of clay?

[Cody]: Why do you look like a wooden doll?

[Xiaomei]: Huh? ah! ! !

The two looked behind them at the reflection reflected in the bottom of the can.

After mutual accusations and blame-shifting, the two were at a loss.

Eggplant and Yaya were like looking into a mirror at this moment.

Couples or even couples.

Because of personal habits, personality differences, and even trivial matters in daily life, there will be arguments and blame-shifting.

Two Players is obviously a game with very childish graphics but rich content.

Countless lovers can see themselves reflected in Cody and Xiaomei.

At this moment, Dr. Ha Jin, who looked like a brown book, stepped forward and introduced himself.

[I am Dr. Ha Jin, a global best-selling emotional expert! 】

[I was bought by your daughter, she is very lucky, I am the last one]

[After all, I am the best seller! Ha ha--】

[I have helped thousands of couples, and now I will help you two rekindle your love! 】

Cody and Xiaomei didn't believe this at all and thought they were dreaming.

But after Xiaomei jumped down from the gap in the floor, she came to life again.

The two had to believe that they might actually have embarked on a wonderful adventure.

With Dr. Ha Jin's introduction, Cody and Xiaomei saw their daughter's figure and ran out of the screen.

Until this moment, the water friends in the live broadcast room finally understood the premise and ultimate goal of all these games.

There is a famous saying in the Three-Body novel -

Give time to civilization, not time to civilization!

Two People Go Together seems to give an interpretation from a game perspective!

Give couples' games connotation and rich background, rather than just making a crude two-player game.

Maybe from this moment on. There are many ironclad rules in the couples game market.

They will be broken one by one ruthlessly by Cai Gou.

As the animation of the first chapter ends.

The screen is completely divided into two pieces and the game officially begins.

It is different from ordinary two-player games on the same screen.

On a single screen with two people in a row, you can see the two characters Cody and Mei on the same screen, and the scenes in both screens are also the same.

This is the first innovation of the two-person trip——

Split screen sync!

In most two-player games on the market, viewing angles will inevitably freeze due to two players operating at the same time.

This is the drawback of the underlying design of this type of game.

But Two People Travel uses split-screen synchronization to perfectly solve this problem.

I have to say that this innovation in the opening game is refreshing to the players.

Split screen sync.

It's like the first sip of a three-yuan Coke on a hot summer day.

This innovation alone is worth two and a half dollars.

Enough to inspire game designers.

Studio.

Yaya asked: "What should we do?"

Eggplant was experienced and after familiarizing himself with the operation, he said:

"It should be cooperation to pull the switch."

"Oh, then I'll follow you!"

The two of them worked together to press the switch, and the split screens merged into one simultaneously.

"call out--"

"call out--"

The moment the switch was pulled, two fuses jumped into the air, and one sneaked away with long legs.

[Cody]: Huh? What's going on here?

[Xiaomei]: I have no clue, but whatever happens... I can't lower that staircase without those fuses.

[Cody]: But...these fuses...they...they ran away!

Along with Cody and Xiaomei's conversation.

It not only further highlights the characters of Cody and Xiaomei, but also informs players through dialogue what the next goal is.

It can be said that killing two birds with one stone.

With the expansion of split screen synchronization.

Yaya and Eggplant continue the game.

In the two-player game, puzzles will appear one after another, and the scenes will continue to switch regardless of cost.

The game graphics are gorgeous and beautiful, and the movements feel comfortable.

Every part of the game is filled with high-level exquisite mechanisms and interesting ideas.

The fun of playing together as a couple makes Yaya gradually get involved.

"eggplant?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Is this the game produced by the old thief you always talk about?"

"yes……"

"But it's not as difficult as you said, right?"

Eggplant laughed loudly after hearing this:

"Actually, this game is the most difficult of all the games produced by Lao Thief!"

"Ah? Really fake?"

"Of course it's true, because it takes two people to make a trip!" Eggplant raised his head and said:

"With this kind of game configuration, look at the live broadcast room with so many water friends, how many of them can meet the conditions?"

As soon as these words came out, the water friends who had been watching the live broadcast with great interest were completely shattered.

"Gan! Do you believe that I found someone to mess with you?"

"In anger, I scratched my butt..."

"You dare to provoke me? You dare to provoke me!"

"When you offend a single person, it's like kicking a ball of cotton. Will you feel warm? (Compare your heart)"

"It's best not to mess with me, because if you mess with me, it's the same as not messing with me!"

"Good boy, are you the persimmon who picks out the soft ones?"

The live broadcast room was filled with joy.

Playing in pairs always gives players a feeling of "seemingly simple".

But in fact, there are many scenes in the game that emphasize-

[This is a game that cannot be underestimated]!

The puzzle-solving sessions with plenty of time to challenge are still acceptable, but those operations that require real-time reaction will be a bit tiring for Yaya who is not very good at games.

Some places in the game require two people to seize the opportunity to operate together, and there will also be situations where the footholds continue to disappear.

Of course, this does not mean that people who are not used to playing games, or two game novices, will not play this game.

[Suffering] in certain scenarios is also one of the joys of the game.

As the live broadcast continued, water friends also discovered a characteristic of two people traveling together.

Even if a character dies in the game, as long as one person is alive, the other person will be resurrected quickly.

During this period of time, the surviving characters only need to do one thing to survive the resurrection countdown.

In terms of game experience, Eggplant is definitely richer, so Yaya died more times during the game.

At this time, Eggplant will support Yaya like a hero until she is resurrected.

"Thanks……"

"Hey! Which one of us is following whom?"

But as the difficulty of the game increases, there will always be times when Eggplant makes operational mistakes and dies.

Whenever this happens, Yaya will try her best to persevere until Eggplant comes back to life, even if she has little gaming experience.

Eggplant saw Yaya clumsily trying to stand up for herself, so she opened her mouth and held back a sentence for a while:

"When we were eating just now, I was... sorry!"

"Haha, I didn't remember it a long time ago..."

The previous disputes between the two due to trivial matters in life were gradually healed during the game.

Maybe this is the meaning of couples’ games, right? !

A two-player game is in progress.

Cody and Xiaomei have to pass through 7 levels: the shed, the big tree, Ross's room, the cuckoo clock, the snow globe, the garden, and the attic.

These levels are filled with various puzzles, and players need to use their wisdom to overcome them and continue the adventure.

In addition, each level has a BOSS, and players need to defeat all the Bosses in the current level before they can move to the next level.

In each level of the game, almost all battles and decryption gameplay revolve around a certain theme.

Players not only need to use various interactive objects scattered on the map to clear their way.

And you need to cooperate with another player, otherwise you can't progress.

In addition, each level of the game has a different number of mini-games.

Players can compete with another player in mini-games to enhance their gaming experience.

No matter what game Eggplant used to play, he only had one thought in his mind -

win!

He didn't even bother to read the side plots that had nothing to do with the main plot and victory or defeat.

but……

Yaya likes it!

Eggplant comes naturally and tries out many wonderful mini-games with her.

The scenery along the two-person trip is extremely gorgeous, and the picture quality is exquisite.

Yaya sometimes takes Eggplant with her to take pictures.

In these links, Eggplant is always Yaya’s follower.

But he was happy with it.

And when you need to fight monsters, even in BOSS levels.

Because the shapes, colors, and textures of bugs, frogs, spiders and other creatures are too realistic, Yaya will feel a little uncomfortable.

Every time like this, Eggplant would step forward and use his superb gaming skills to fight and protect.

"Eggplant, hit him, hit him the fuck up!"

"So awesome and handsome!"

"There's something!"

"This wave takes off!"

Under Yaya's admiration, Eggplant becomes increasingly happy.

This scene infected the water friends in the live broadcast room, and at the same time made everyone break their defenses again.

"No, you are here to play with each other, right?"

"Eggplant is a hero and saves a beauty? A game can bring your relationship to a higher level? I sold this game to you for 198, which is a huge loss!"

"No, have you ever considered the feelings of singles? Are singles not human beings? Are they eating your dog food?"

"Let's talk about it. Let's try it out. You are always flirting and making us very passive!"

"Hahahaha! Gan! I'm going to shove the umbrella into your butt, and then open it--"
