Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 20 Entry Treasure Box: Is this game of yours authentic?

The online awards ceremony is over.

That night, countless netizens stayed in front of their computers online, waiting for the Terraria version to be updated.

Everyone is extremely curious about the large-scale free module Cai Gou mentioned at the online awards ceremony.

The prostitute teacher even ate midnight snacks and chatted in the live broadcast room, just to log in to the game as soon as possible.

"If you ask me, four modules, or a large module, no matter how good the quality is, people can definitely make it into DLC to increase profits!"

"In the end, General Tiangong opened the creative workshop for free, and launched four large-scale modules in one go. In one word - grand!"

"It's true that Cai Gou deserves to make money in the gaming industry. I won't agree to it if he doesn't make money!"

Who is really good to them and who is keeping an eye on their money bags? The water friends in the live broadcast room also have a score in their hearts.

Faced with the prostitute teacher’s comments, netizens also posted barrages one after another——

"Sao Zhu is quite clear about these things!"

"'Calamity', 'Thorium', 'Redemption', 'Fugou', listen to these names, damn, just thinking about them makes me feel happy!"

"I am a facilitator. I have one thing to say. From now on, any game produced by Huangtian Studio, as long as it is within my capabilities, I will support!"

Arrive at one o'clock that night.

Saozhu immediately logged into Terraria's creative workshop and was faced with four large-scale modules. After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to download the disaster module and try it out.

Disaster is a high-quality module based on Terraria. In its previous life, it was known as the top four modules.

With a more complete world view story, epic battle soundtrack, more balanced battle process, rich equipment matching, and more challenging bosses, Disaster has become very popular as soon as the module was launched.

It can be said that the four major modules are derivative games based on Terraria 2, and each has its own charm that makes players addicted.

"I rely on!"

"Ya'er yo!"

"I just split open!"

That night.

The prostitute teacher stayed up all night in the live broadcast room to try out the disaster module, and countless friends came to appreciate the charm of the disaster.

"I thought the module would be some auxiliary type, such as one-click mining or something. Unexpectedly, I am too narrow-minded!"

"Yes, rather than launching four large-scale modules for free, it would be better to say that General Tiangong gave us four games for free!"

"I am a die-hard fan of Lu Zhuan. From today on, I am also a Yellow Turban Army. No one can say anything about it!"

"I downloaded and tried all the four major modules. I can't say anything about it. One word - absolutely!"

"Wow, the four major modules are awesome, but they are not friendly to newbies. Especially the disaster is much more difficult than the original version, isn't it?"

"Hahahaha, upstairs, just practice more, don't play if you can't afford to lose, that was before, now is now..."

Log in to the E-Bao platform, Steam platform, and Penguin platform homepages at 0:00 in Terraria and recommend it on the same day.

With many anchors and tap water sparing no effort to promote Terraria and the four major modules.

Terraria sales exceeded 20 copies in a single day.

With a total sales volume of 130 million copies, it became the fastest game to enter the million club at the Independent Games Festival!
  Huangtian Studio is completely famous!
  at the same time.

Cai Gou was not idle either. After the award ceremony that day, he returned to his hotel.

After closing the door, Cai Gou directly opened the treasure chest of entries.

[Term: Simulation]

[Grade: C grade]

[Note: Let me ask you, is this game fidelity? 】

Cai Gou touched his chin:

"C-level entry? Simulation?"

Cai Gou, who was a senior game designer in his previous life, is naturally familiar with simulation games.

Simulation as a game element is widely used in various game types. Simulation games attempt to replicate various forms of "real" life in order to "train" players: such as improving proficiency, analyzing situations, or making predictions.

Simulation games with different degrees of simulation have different functions. A higher degree of simulation can be used for professional knowledge training; a lower degree of simulation can be used as a means of entertainment.

But basically the simulation element is only one of the elements of a game to increase the playability of the game. There are very few games with a pure single simulation element.

It’s no wonder that the simulated entries are only C-rated.

[Name: Cai Gou]

[Personal level: Level 2 (0/2)]

[Level 3 Unlocked: Somatosensory Interaction Technology]

[Mood value: 1506121]

[Entry: Hardcore (S) Simulation (C)]

[To be collected: Universal Engine]

After checking the system panel, Cai Gou raised the corners of his mouth.

Even a C-level entry is a good thing for him.

After all, his personal level has finally improved, and the universal engine he has been dreaming of has finally been obtained!

Game engines refer to some edited computer game systems that have been written, or the core components of some interactive real-time graphics applications.

These systems provide game designers with a variety of tools needed to program games. The purpose is to allow game designers to easily and quickly create game programs without having to start from scratch.

When faced with a series of complex tasks such as collision detection system, sound effects, script engine, computer animation, artificial intelligence, network engine and scene management.

Game designers with a universal engine can greatly speed up their work efficiency and save a lot of manpower and material resources.

In the past life, the most famous commercial game engine in the game industry was Unreal 5, but it is famous, and it is not necessarily the first.

After all, the game engines developed by major game companies are core secrets that are not disclosed to the public.

Unreal 5 is well-known because of its commercial properties and its wide use in games.

Cai Gou transferred the universal engine file to the computer and opened it for some operations, and he was convinced.

The universal game engine rewarded by the system is not only a few steps ahead of Unreal 5, but also has more complete functions and even has some black technology flavor.

For Cai Gou, having a universal engine will greatly shorten the game production cycle.

It can be said that - even more powerful than a tiger!
  "Somatosensory interactive technology?"

Cai Gou glanced at the rewards that were about to be unlocked at personal level 3, and became even more motivated.

After the award ceremony, according to Cai Gou’s analysis.

Perhaps it was because a large enough number of people were experiencing too much emotional ups and downs at the same time that the entry treasure chest was triggered to drop.

In other words, in the future, I have to appear in front of as many people as possible!
  Thinking of this, Cai Gou smiled and said nothing.

The next day, all members of Huangtian Studio packed their luggage and were about to go back to school.

Liu Ruoya received a call temporarily:
  "Hey?"

"You mean Huang Tian Studio is also eligible to participate?"

"Okay, okay, you can send the location to my phone later and I will take them there right away!"

Liu Ruoya hung up the phone. Faced with the curiosity and doubts of Cai Gou and others, she did not show off, but said directly:

"At around 8:30 this morning, Terraria's sales officially exceeded one million! Congratulations to you guys for officially entering the million club!"

"For this reason, we are qualified to participate in the [Game Plus] offline symposium held by the Game Office of the Cultural Entertainment Office!"

"Anyway, we don't have much time left, let's talk about the rest of the journey!"

"GO! GO! GO!"
