Game Development: Driving Players Crazy at the Start

After finishing his busy neon tour, Fang Zheng's life returned to its usual state.

Although it is to promote the e-sports plan, it will only work after the branches of each major competition area are established, and this will take time.

Can't rush for a while.

So Fang Zheng himself took a break again.

Looking at the winter vacation, Fang Zheng will naturally not miss this opportunity, so he plans to develop a game that allows players to kill time during the winter vacation.

For example, "Famine"...

"Don't Starve", as an action-adventure survival game, has exploded in past lives.

The background of the story tells that a scientist was sent to Otherworld by a demon and must rely on his own wisdom to survive in the cruel environment of Otherworld.

"Famine" is one of the few boutique games in the survival category. It has been rated as high as 7 points at ING, and it has become a good choice for players to kill time.

In Fang Zheng's opinion, the biggest feeling of "Don't Starve" is amazing. There are no operating prompts in the game, which can perfectly satisfy the player's 800 desire to explore.

And the game "Don't Starve" is also a bright spot for rhythm control.

Players explore during the day and squat in the pit at night, which will not make people feel boring for about ten minutes a day, and the game settings saved at any time have also gained a lot of players' favor.

In addition, there will be new props and new monsters in the game, which will keep the player's fresh feeling about the game at all times.

"Don't Starve" this game in the early stage, will definitely make players who like survival games love it, enough to let players spend a lot of leisure time.

However, "Famine" is not without its shortcomings, the subsequent explosive power of the game is insufficient, and players tend to feel boring and exhausted after playing.

Moreover, as the game progresses, "Don't Starve" will slowly give players a sense of hopelessness.

Players spend time in the early stages of the game to acquire various survival resources, unlock technology, and fight monsters. These will inevitably make players feel satisfied.

But over time, when players will find that this is like a loop, they will never get out.

(bgad) 　 It’s better if you have friends playing with you; but if you’re alone, this feeling of despair and powerlessness is especially obvious.

"Famine, this is a good game, it passed without paying attention for a long time."

Fang Zheng thought about the scene of playing "Famine" in his previous life, with a weird smile on his mouth.

Although he likes to play games, because of his personality, no game can continue to play.

But "Famine" is one of the few games he spent a lot of time trying.

Fang Zheng himself actually wanted to develop the game "Don't Starve" a long time ago, so that "Don't Starve" would become popular in this world.

It's just because "Famine" is too time-consuming, so it has been postponed until now.

And now the winter vacation is coming soon, and the students are about to have a vacation.

You must know that the student population is the main force in the game market, so Fang Zheng feels that it is time to launch the big killer "Don't Starve".

And besides the quality of "Don't Starve" game there, it is very suitable for playing during the holidays, but there is another reason that Fang Zheng considered.

"Famine" does not require krypton gold! No need for krypton gold! No need for krypton gold!

The important thing is said three times, which is also an important reason why Fang Zheng chose to develop "Famine".

You have to know that the player's wallet is limited. It's not a bank. You can have as many as you want.

The previous "League of Legends" caused the players' wallets to deflate a bit, and later "Audition" came from behind and almost drained the players' wallets.

Even many crazy female players almost went to eat dirt because of krypton gold.

So Fang Zheng felt that he should give the players some breathing time, always thinking about the players' wallets, which was not appropriate.

Wait for the players to slow down and their wallets gradually become richer, and then come to fool them with krypton gold.

At this time, there are no other people in the office, otherwise Fang Zheng's expression at this time must be found to be very evil.

I don't know if we let the majority of players know Fang Zheng's thoughts, will they rush to the hall and beat him up.

Fang Zheng carefully recalled some details of "Famine", and then recorded some settings on his computer.

Such as game characters.

There are still many game characters in "Don't Starve", which greatly enriches the game's playability.

And the attributes of each character are also different.

Scientist Wilson can grow a beard; Willow, the arsonist, comes with a lighter at the beginning. It will have a spiritual bonus near the flame and is immune to fire damage; the man Wolfgang has doubled his satiety and health, and also There is an extra power attribute bonus...

It can be said that each character in "Famine" has its own characteristics, both advantages and disadvantages, it depends on the player's choice.

Reasonable use of the characteristics of the game's role can be like a fish in water in the game.

After the characters are the settings of some monsters in the game, the monster settings of the game "Don't Starve" are also very rich.

Pigmen, bunnymen, thieves, etc., wild elephants, monkeys, snakes, hunting dogs, etc.

In addition to these regular monsters, there are also some mutant monsters, such as ghosts, eaters, nightmares, and so on.

This complex monster system is also a major feature of "Don't Starve", Fang Zheng will naturally not miss it, and recorded all of these in detail.

In addition, there are BOSS, treants, spiders and so on in the game.

Fang Zheng recorded all consumables, tools, weapons, enhancements, weather systems, and regional systems.

These tasks alone took him most of the day, which shows the complexity of the game "Don't Starve".

In the office, Fang Zheng was busy with everything. Seeing the full game settings he recorded, he stretched his waist contentedly.

He is a little expecting that players will be exposed to the scene of the game "Don't Starve" for the first time, which is very exciting.

There is no so-called "Don't Starve" strategy in this world. It relies solely on players to explore from scratch. During this period, players will surely understand the essence of survival games.

Don't die, don't touch things you don't know, don't fight monsters you don't understand, don't be so curious.

These are the experiences summarized by many old players in previous lives~

As for how to summarize it, of course it was dead.
