Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 91: The game is not hard-core, so how can we, the old-schoolers, appear to have accurate marksmanship? [Seeking for further reading]

At the end of the day's live broadcast, Shancheng University's official WeChat account gained over one million followers.

You know, these are not zombie fans, they are all active fans.

The effect of this live broadcast was so explosive.

The leaders were very happy to see this and insisted on inviting him to the dinner again.

That night.

Live broadcast slices leaked out, triggering heated discussions among netizens.

Especially the video slices of Cai Goulianmai’s fan session.

Because Cai Gou announced that there would be surprises this year, the number of video views was extremely high.

After the players got the exact news, everyone was as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

"Okay, there's a new game!"

"This live broadcast tonight is really profitable!"

"To be fair, I love surprises the most!"

"Hard-core puzzle solving? To the north, the great opportunity has been snatched by the old guard!"

only……

After watching this video slice, the players shuddered inexplicably.

At the end of the video, why does the old thief smile so sharply?

wrong! There's a ghost!

Hardcore? broken--

We're going to be in trouble!

After everyone figured it out, they wanted to eat the Lianmai players alive.

Can Cai Gou say——

Somewhat hardcore!

So how hardcore is this game?

This night, players recalled the days when they were ruled by hardcore players.

However, compared to most players’ feelings of suffering.

The old guard of the Yellow Turban Army fell into a collective carnival.

Somewhat hardcore?

Hardcore is good!

The harder the better!

The game is not hard-core, so how can it appear that our old-school shooting skills are accurate?

Hey!

It seems that our old school is bound to make a comeback due to this wave of change!

The conservative faction held an internal faction meeting at midnight that night.

After the meeting starts.

The current president of the Conservative Party highly praised the special contributions made by his members [Abstractism Harms the Country, Hardcore Revitalizes the Nation] to the Conservative Party during the live broadcast.

And after the meeting, a scarf announcement was made——

[Members of the conservative faction, "Abstraction harms the country, hardcore rejuvenates the country" has achieved nine successes, starting from now on——]

[I paid homage to the Taiwei, became the Grand Sima, promoted to the General, founded the Yitong Division of the Three Divisions, led the Yizhou Shepherd, and oversaw all the Chinese and foreign military forces. I was also the Grand Governor of the March in Jiannan Road. His envoys held the knot and fake yellow Yue. Praise and worship are unknown, go to the palace with swords and shoes, add nine tins, and avoid twelve shackles! 】

[Promoted to one of the thirty-six current presidents of the conservative faction! 】

Such a high-profile move by the conservative faction naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the reformers.

He just got lucky!

Can you conservatives be granted titles and seals?

Can’t I be a reformer?

Is it possible that our huge reformist faction doesn’t have talented generals?

joke!

The reformist fan club account immediately released the scarf——

[Nowadays, the court is in a difficult situation, so the emperor’s list is specially posted, and talents are recruited from all over the network, aiming at the city skyline——]

[Those who can perform heaven-defying abstractions will be rewarded! 】

[Those who can survive alone will be rewarded! 】

[Those who can provide abstract ideas will be rewarded! 】

Whether you are a reformer or a conservative.

No one can look at these two scarves without making a sound!

At first glance——

Who could tell that this is something a fan would do?

But the two major fan associations think it is completely normal!

Because the name of General Tiangong spread from Cai Gou.

Until now!

Fans combine the trends of the Three Kingdoms to form a circle culture unique to the Yellow Turban Army!

This is actually one of the reasons why Yellow Turban Army fans are so sticky and active!

In the eyes of other players, the operations of the reformers and conservatives are both abstract and hard-core.

Perhaps it is the fan culture ecology that other major game companies dream of but cannot achieve.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Cai Gou woke up from a hangover.

Yesterday's dinner was originally attended only by An Quan and a group of teachers from the courtyard and the staff of the live broadcast room. Who knows, the deans of other colleges came uninvited after hearing about this, and even the principals finally came.

Cai Gou is also the core figure of this dinner.

Everyone lined up and toasted, Cai Gou quickly explained what it meant——

Vegetable dog!

After he recovered, he did not forget the business.

The company really has some spare time at the moment.

Take this opportunity to surprise the players and train the team again.

Kill two birds with one stone!

I won!

"Puzzle solving, hardcore, gaming?"

Cai Gou opened the multi-entry store and searched.

This time, the puzzle game does not pursue large size, but pursues a short production cycle and highlights hard-core features!

"Hey! I want you to see what I mean--"

“From entry to burial!”

"Hardcore - full!"

After Cai Gou searched for a while, he quickly locked on a game.

[Game name: cypher (Introduction to Cryptozoology)]

[Price: Emotional value x50000]

The original version of Cypher is a game whose main content is password decryption.

This game is designed and produced by independent game producers alone.

The size is as small as only 250MB!

The price of the game is so low that it only requires 50,000 emotional points.

In fact, it can be seen from the name of the game.

How hardcore is this game?

After all, no game can be called an introductory manual to cryptography.

In the game, players will play a cryptologist and complete tasks by decrypting various passwords.

Players can pass level after level and learn about the development history of cryptography from ancient times to the present.

The game is mainly divided into two modes, namely single player mode and multiplayer mode.

The single-player mode mainly allows players to improve their decryption abilities through a series of tasks.

The difficulty of the tasks will gradually increase, and players need to master various decryption methods to complete the tasks.

The multiplayer mode is a competitive mode where players need to compete with other players to see who can decrypt the password faster.

This mode requires players to have higher decryption ability and faster reaction speed.

In the game, players need to master various cryptographic techniques, such as Caesar cipher, Vigenère cipher, barrier cipher, etc.

By mastering these cryptographic techniques, players can better complete missions and win in multiplayer modes.

In addition to decryption missions and competitive mode, the game also provides some other features, such as free mode, leaderboards, and more.

In the free mode, players can challenge passwords of various difficulties at will to improve their decryption level.

The ranking list is used to display players' decryption achievements and rankings.

This game almost does not incorporate other game elements, but uses a single puzzle element to the extreme.

It can be called a model of the game from entry to entry!

The hardcore level is straight to the max!

Want to pass the level?

Hey!

I see you still haven't woken up!

Cai Gou could imagine how the players' mental states changed as soon as this game was released——

【precipitation】

【Look forward to the future】

【Meet at the top】

[Bringing together the reformists]

[Away from solving puzzles]

[That game ruined my hardcore dream]

can only say!

As expected of me!

Just thinking about this scene makes Cai Gou smile like a fool!

He was immediately full of energy and went to his desk to write a game design plan!

"Let's do it! Click here!"
