Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 74 Cai Gou: The poor man is asking the unruly people to die! [Seeking for further reading]

After the dinner, Cai Gou sent Liu Ruoya home and they chatted.

"Cai Gou..." Liu Ruoya said hesitantly:

"There are things I couldn't tell you originally, but I think it's necessary to let you know."

"Games plus education is a long-term mission. It is impossible for the game office to hold a symposium every year, so the above intention is to take a look at the market situation this time."

"If it is determined that the experience of the Kerbal Space Program can be replicated, then officials will establish a game-plus-education special exhibition starting next year."

"In addition to being General Tiangong of Huangtian Studio, you are also the vice president of the Shancheng Game Association. If the qualification to hold this special exhibition falls into your hands."

"I think you understand what I mean?"

"call……"

Cai Gou let out a long breath.

He finally understood why Liu Ruoya reminded him over and over again that he must win this city. It turned out that there was a hidden secret in it!

No wonder Liu Shu talked about rewards during the meeting and said that even the role model badge would be a plus for his achievements this time.

"Don't worry, class teacher!"

Cai Gou's eyebrows showed strong confidence:

"It makes no sense that I was the one who went to this market, and in the end, someone picked the peaches."

After returning home.

Cai Gou had no intention of sleeping and simply started thinking about game options.

In fact, last year the entire game industry did not have a thorough concept of games plus education, and everyone was crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Therefore, when faced with the aerospace publicity requirements put forward by the game office, the industry prefers to stay in the comfort zone.

It is precisely because of this that Kerbal Space Program, produced by Huangtian Studio, has become a hit of the year and allowed officials to see the possibility of adding games to education!
  This will put forward the long-term task of adding games and education!
  But with the Kerbal Space Program at the forefront, game manufacturers basically have clear design ideas for the game-plus-education model.

to be honest--

It is nothing more than combining a game with a specific theme and a major in higher education.

As you can imagine, the competition will be even more intense this year!
  Because of the game-plus-education policy, the hard-core nature of this type of game is its inevitable attribute.

The focus of Cai Gou's thinking now is which game to choose that combines disciplines.

liberal arts?

Engineering?

and many more!

Zongmen off-plan property unfinished incident? !
  A game suddenly popped up in Cai Gou's mind——

City skyline!
  This is an open-ended single-player simulation and city-building game.

Players will control urban land use zoning, road construction, taxation, public services and regional public transportation deployment through urban planning.

To maintain and control the city's revenue and expenditure, population, traffic, pollution and noise, and residents' health, employment, satisfaction and other urban development factors.

The game truly restores the construction, traffic and rules of the city, allowing players to experience the process from creating to maintaining a city.

City Skylines is a game that is a perfect combination of urban planning and business simulation games.

Since players like to build houses in enclosures so much, let them see the value of the Diaomin Simulator.

Cai Gou immediately called out the multi-entry store.

[Game Name: City Skylines]

[Price: Emotional value x1700000]

After the purchase was completed, Cai Gou began to write a game design plan at his desk.

These days, the new offline symposium has become a hot topic.

Game Events and Game Anniversary Weekly also released a special program to promote the feasibility of the game plus education model and its broad future development prospects.

As the incident continues to ferment, its influence continues to spread, and it has now become hot news in the entire gaming industry.

Players were extremely excited after hearing the news.

"Game plus education mode? Great! I like it when it comes to entertaining and educating!"

"Educational and entertaining? Upstairs, you may have forgotten the hard core of the Kerbal Space Program!"

"Hahaha, I always remember that because of the Kerbal Space Program, the anchor of the game area suddenly changed to the anchor of the study area!"       "I look forward to the games produced by Huangtian Studio. If it is a major that I like, that would be even better. !”

Three days later, Huang Tian Studio held a project meeting.

Cai Gou said: "First report on the version update of Yanchufasui!"

I wish you peace and stood up immediately:
  "Currently, all the new content of Yan Yi Fa Sui has been completed, and the version can be officially updated this Sunday!"

"Well..." Cai Gou nodded and continued:

"Add one more thing!"

"This version opens the creative workshop!"

"Ah?" Fei Yangyang said:

"But Mr. Cai, is it too early to open the creative workshop now?"

"Now is the time!" Cai Gou said:
  "We didn't expect that the head of the Steam platform's national region would come to our door, let alone the launch of multi-language versions."

"It is true that the game is a somatosensory interactive game, but it is also a fairy-cultivating game with an oriental fantasy background! Different cultural differences may cause the game to be unaccustomed to overseas markets."

When Zhong Chu heard this, he answered:
  "Mr. Cai, what you mean is to open the creative workshop so that players can customize character images and even create exclusive MODs to reduce the impact of cultural differences brought about by oriental fantasy settings and focus on somatosensory interactive settings, right?"

"That's right!"

Subsequently, the meeting continued to advance, and the backlog of tasks in the studio was being solved one by one.

Two hours later.

The new game project meeting has officially begun.

Cai Gou asked the staff to distribute the copied game design plans to everyone.

After everyone got the game design plan, they couldn't wait to look through it.

City skyline?
  Urban planning major?

Everyone's eyes lit up, this idea——

Wonderful!

While everyone was looking through the documents, Cai Gou said:

"This attempt to combine games with education is a rare opportunity for Huangtian Studio."

"This market was created by us. Once we establish our unicorn status in the game plus education track, we will benefit from it in the future."

"So this time, all members of Huangtian Studio join the battle, and it is bound to make the entire game industry see what Huangtian speed is in the shortest possible time!"

Fei Yangyang said excitedly: "The combination of urban planning major and simulated city construction games is a very clever entry point!"

Zhu Pingan continued: "Players create a city from scratch, and need to consider all aspects of factors. This is definitely a hard-core level among games of the same type, but under the premise of game plus education, it is just right!"

Zhong Chu hesitated for a moment and then raised his hand to ask: "Um...Mr. Cai, I just have a question."

"Will the setting of citizen NPCs in the game be too difficult for players?"

"Brother Zhong, what is the most important thing about being a couple?"

"Love!"

"Angkor, what is the most important thing about being a county magistrate?"

"endure!"

Everyone smiled knowingly.

With just two rhetorical questions, everyone present understood what Cai Gou meant.

The seemingly unreasonable citizen settings may be the essence of the game.

After the project establishment meeting ended that day, Huangtian Studio began to work hard.

Cai Gou wants the entire gaming industry to understand a truth.

In the new track of games plus education.

I! Cai Gou! That’s——

Talk about things!
