Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 356 Please listen to the question: How many squares of farmland can be irrigated with one bucket of water? (Subscribe)
Cyber ​​postgraduate entrance examination tutors are about to make a comeback together with the "Minecraft Cyber ​​Architecture" series of courses.

The players were both sad and happy.

The sad thing is that since the release of the Jiegan No. 3 holistic gaming cabin this year, players have to spend more and more time on hardcore learning.

The good news is that after seeing the light, who would still be willing to endure darkness? Who doesn’t want to build a house as good as Liuliu’s in the game?

Liu Peijia hung up the call and looked at the matchbox he had spent so much effort to build. He felt more and more annoyed.

"I live in a matchbox cemetery, and they live in a three-story garden villa. Isn't the difference too big?"

"No, I have to stand up! It's just a book, right? Just read it!"

Liu Peijia searched directly for the electronic version of "Building a House" on the novel website.

"Tsk tsk, this catalog is really impressive..." Liu Peijia said with emotion:
"It's a pity that Taipingdao is not participating in the game and education themed exhibition now. Otherwise, given the perfect combination of Minecraft and architecture, it should have been the first in the exhibition."

In the live broadcast room, there are tens of thousands of viewers with complex compositions, ranging from all kinds of occupations and age groups. After Liu Peijia said this, a large number of viewers majoring in architecture became unhappy.

"Who are you picking? Are you picking me? Did the architecture major provoke you?"

"I was just watching a live broadcast, and you blurted out such a vicious plan? If our school leaders really heard it, I will never forgive you!"

“Are the lives of college students majoring in architecture not lives?”

"Let me be honest. It's not that I look down on Qiezi. There is a gap between you and Liuliu. Although the book Liuliu recommended is an introductory book on architecture, it is still too difficult for you."

When Liu Peijia saw the comments, he immediately slammed the table and said, "What are you talking about? What kind of words are you talking about? Liu Liu's introductory book, and my advanced book, right?"

"I don't believe it. Anyway, Liuliu's "Minecraft Cyber ​​Architecture" series of courses will start tomorrow, so I will watch "Building a House" to prepare in advance."

Liu Peijia opened "Building a House" despite the obstruction of other netizens.

【consciousness--】

【Each time, I don’t just make a set of buildings.】

[Every time, I am building a world. ]

[I never believe that there is only one world in this world. ]

Wow, look at what he said, he is worthy of being a master. Liu Peijia became interested and started to read the main text.

[In recent years, I have been teaching while building houses, and there are always a few disciples following me. I often say three things to them:]

【Before I became an architect, I was first a man of letters.】

[Don’t think about what is the most important thing first, but think about what is interesting first and do it yourself. ]

【Building a house is like building a small world. 】

[After a few years, I wonder how much they understood...]

The more Liu Peijia looked at him, the more silent he became. His expression looked as if he had been constipated for days.

The speed of turning the pages is getting slower and slower.

The stay time is getting longer and longer.

At this moment, Liu Peiqia's mind was full of questions.

Isn’t this book an introductory book?

Why does the author start talking about value at the beginning?
Isn't the content of this book beyond the scope of the syllabus?

The book "Building Houses" does not meet Liu Peiqia's needs at all.

Building a House tells an advanced theory, along with the author's insights gained over the years.

What Liu Peijia needed was the most basic knowledge of architectural theory, how to quickly build an attractive and artistic garden villa.

After reading for a full half an hour, Liu Peijia sighed: "What! What! What! What is this about?"

"I can say responsibly that the book 'Building a House' is not suitable for me. I'd better wait until Liuliu starts the class tomorrow."

The netizens suddenly became excited.

"Hahaha, I guessed this result a long time ago. It's worth my half an hour of waiting."

"To be honest, Eggplant, you've lasted five minutes longer than I expected."

"Hahahaha, Eggplant, you old fool, are you convinced?"

Liu Peijia glanced at the comments and immediately replied, "I'm half convinced. It's not that I'm not good enough, it's just that this book is too advanced for me right now. It doesn't mean that I don't have talent."

"Just wait until the class starts tomorrow and see if I learn it or not!"

As time gradually approached late at night, top anchors went offline one after another.

On this special day when "Minecraft" was released for free, the major editing accounts edited the clips of major anchors at the fastest speed and put them on major short video platforms.

Accompanied by live broadcast slices full of program effects from major anchors, as well as the development of the game Minecraft.

Minecraft has become a hot topic of discussion among gamers today.

Game price, get it for free.

Game type, simple and easy to understand.

Gameplay, varied.

With these advantages, the audience of my world players includes:

From the age of ninety-nine to the age of just learning to walk.

There is a hidden trend of becoming a phenomenal game.

And in Minecraft, you can only get it for free by completing the task of attracting new users, and it cannot be purchased on other platforms.

Therefore, as time went by, the number of downloads of the Tianming game platform grew wildly in a short period of time.

The growth in downloads far exceeded Lanny's expectations.

The next morning, Lanny reported the good news to Cai Gou, but when he saw that Cai Gou looked calm, he quickly asked:

"Cai, is all this within your expectations?" Cai Gou nodded with a smile. Lanny asked in confusion, "Why did you have such a firm judgment before the game was released?"

"What about this question?" Cai Gou pondered for a moment and said:

"Then I'll take the two games on the Tianming game platform as examples—"

“Tactical Squad is a true blockbuster. Not only is it the most popular gunfight game at the moment, it also has unique squad tactical command elements, and is paired with the Jiegan-3 holistic gaming cabin.”

"It allows these cyber veterans to experience the game in an immersive way, feel the hail of bullets, and enjoy the excitement of the electronic battlefield. This is why Tactical Squad has quickly attracted a strong response from the gunfight player community as soon as it was released."

Cai Gou raised his head and looked at Lanny: "Right?"

Lanny nodded: "You are right."

Cai Gou continued, "But, Lanny, the ultimate goal of a game designer is not just to make AAA productions."

“Even if the audience of Gunfight Track is large, there are still limitations. In addition, the extreme hardcore level and the rigid demand for the Jiegan-3 holistic gaming cabin limit the audience of players to a certain extent.”

"On the contrary, games like Minecraft do not require a specific gaming pod. You can easily play it on an old computer or even a smartphone."

“Hardcore players can perform many tricks, and ordinary players can also have fun in the game.”

"Minecraft is a game with a very high upper limit and a very low lower limit. It has no restrictions on hard equipment, no restrictions on hardcore conditions, and no entry threshold. Its audience is naturally stronger than that of Ares Squad."

“No 3A production is needed. Players can give full play to their imagination in the free world built with blocks. Even if it is just blocks, it can bring players a fulfilling gaming experience.”

“Minecraft can be said to be a game suitable for all ages, so I am not surprised at all that it has such a good performance. And I am sure that the subsequent response caused by Minecraft will be far more than this.”

"Because as the functions of Minecraft are explored in depth, the chain reaction and game culture it triggers are by no means comparable to that of the Tactical Squad."

Lanny nodded thoughtfully, "I see, you are right, is this the reason you dared to bet with Wu Xiu?"

Cai Gou smiled secretly and whispered, "Don't tell him."

Lanny smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm waiting to see the show too!"

Nearing two o'clock in the afternoon, the long-awaited "Minecraft Cyber ​​Architecture" series of courses officially started.

Liu Peijia started the live broadcast immediately and entered Liuliu's room to prepare for the class.

In order to listen to the class carefully and become a model student, he even recorded the class, and there was a notebook and a ballpoint pen on the table.

Obviously, Liu Peijia has decided to use all his strength.

Liu Liu was also very attentive to this cyber lecture. Not only was he equipped with various professional equipment, he also stayed up late to make the PPT.

"Okay, everyone, welcome to Liuliu's cyber classroom again. Today we will start the course series "Minecraft Cyber ​​Architecture"."

“Architecture mainly studies the basic knowledge and skills of building structure, design, materials, environment, construction, etc.”

“It involves architectural design, urban design, interior design, municipal design and other aspects, and carries out the design and planning of various types of buildings.”

"Of course, cyber architecture is far less complicated. This course does not involve materials, environment, urban design, and municipal design."

"Instead, we focus on the structure, design, construction, architectural design, and interior design of the building."

“I will provide players with an in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation of the various building materials in Minecraft, and ensure that after listening to the Minecraft Cyber ​​Architecture series of courses, everyone will be able to build a beautiful house in the game.”

In the live broadcast room, there were constant applause and flowers, and the viewers were very excited when they heard the words.

At this stage, a large number of players are pouring into Minecraft, and what bothers them most is not fighting or exploration, but construction.

For the players, Liuliu’s class is like timely rain after a long drought.

"Well said, Liuliu, I am willing to call you the strongest tutor for the Cyber ​​​​Postgraduate Entrance Examination!"

“This is the series of lessons that our players should learn.”

"Little Sunflower Cyber ​​Classroom is now open. What should I do if my child is not good at playing games? Just find a famous Cyber ​​​​Postgraduate Entrance Examination teacher!"

Liu Liu pressed his hands together, and the live broadcast room instantly became quiet:

“The Minecraft Cyber ​​Architecture series of courses has officially started. We will cover three topics today.”

“The first is the historical and geographical latitude and architectural texture, the second is the evolution of the three-word and architecture, and the third is the three principles and architectural rationality.”

“The first question - historical and geographical latitude and architectural texture, we must think of it when we talk about design. Design is about pursuing innovation and seeking newness and change.”

"Architecture is one of the most important human activities among our basic needs of food, clothing, shelter and transportation. It is a historical thing..."

Liu Liu talked freely in the live broadcast room, with all kinds of nouns popping out of his mouth as if they were free.

The viewers studied seriously in the live broadcast room, took notes, and recorded everything like crazy.

Learning, especially hard-core theoretical learning, is ultimately boring.

But when players think that they can also build a garden villa in the game like Liu Liu, or even better than Liu Liu, they feel full of energy.

A full class lasts an hour and a half.

Time passed, and before I knew it, there was only a quarter of an hour left in this class.

Liuliu took a sip of water and said:

"Tomorrow, at the same time and place, we will continue with the second lesson of Minecraft: Cyber ​​Architecture, titled Returning to the Essence of Architecture: Teaching Architectural Design."

"In the last bit of time left, I will assign homework to everyone. Don't worry, it's just a small problem."

"Last night, when I was building a house in my world and collecting materials for my lecture, I stumbled upon an interesting question. You can all brainstorm together and see if you can find the answer."

Liu Liu's words sparked endless curiosity among the netizens, and everyone wanted to see what interesting questions Liu Liu would assign to everyone as homework.

Liu Liu said: "As we all know, in my world, if you irrigate within 4 squares of farmland horizontally, you can irrigate a 9x9 farmland. In addition to the square occupied by the water itself, a total of 80 squares of farmland can be irrigated."

"Then the question is—"

"In my world, how many squares of farmland can be irrigated with one bucket of water?"

Water friend: "???"

eggplant:"???"

When everyone heard Liu Liu's question, their first reaction was that this was not a simple problem.

But then everyone realized that this was a question raised by Liu Liu, a famous teacher at Tsinghua University and Peking University who teaches postgraduate entrance examinations at Cyberspace Administration of China.

How can it be so simple?
There must be something fishy going on here!
"I sprained my back due to a question. Who would have thought that after I attended a class for an hour and a half, the homework after class would be a math problem?"

"I think I have an idea. This question is quite interesting. Most people probably wouldn't be able to think of it. Hahahaha. I'll start the game now."

"Oh? Unfortunately, I have an idea too. Let's see who is faster!"

"...Is what we heard a question? Do you all have any ideas? Why don't I have any ideas at all?"

Liu Peijia found that many players said they had ideas, but he had no ideas at all. He could not help scratching his head and said depressedly:
"No, why is there math involved here? Isn't this homework beyond the syllabus?"
