Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 99 Playing video games, resulting in cyber hypoxia, in the river, in the Ganges River 110 Please order first

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the meeting fell into deep thought.

Seeing this scene, Cai Gou touched his chin and started thinking.

In fact, Cai Gou is not without ideas for hard-core games with an educational model.

I just feel like the few established games in my mind can’t compete with Kerbal Space Program and Cities Skylines.

Next year will be the first game plus education exhibition.

As the only unicorn in this track, Taipingdao Company must come up with a high-quality game to increase the popularity of the exhibition.

Therefore, game selection needs to be done carefully.

Cai Gou couldn't make up his mind, so he decided to hold this brainstorming meeting.

After everyone brainstorms, there may be unexpected gains.

After a while, Zhong Chu took the lead and said:

“Cities Skylines and Kerbal Space Program are both very popular, how about we make a sequel?”

If the game has excellent performance, it is understandable to release a sequel and build an IP, even if the money is wasted. This is a common practice of major game companies.

But this is definitely not Cai Gou's style, let alone Taipingdao Company's style.

not to mention……

Presenting a sequel at the first Game Plus Education Expo, wouldn’t it be equivalent to telling everyone——

I have no new ideas!

I'm out of new ideas!

I can only continue to do so!

Cai Gou shook his head and said resolutely: "A sequel... I won't consider it!"

Fei Yangyang interjected: "What about games of the same professional type?"

Cai Gou's mind quickly came to mind——

A hardcore game of the same type as Kerbal Space Program [Simple Rocket 2]!

A hard-core game of the same type as City Skylines [Roller Coaster Star]!

It is undeniable that these two games can indeed be combined with corresponding majors.

Even the game Simple Rocket 2 is more hardcore than Kerbal Space Program.

Cai Gou thought for a moment and shook his head:

"There are so many higher education majors in our country that it makes no sense that the games produced by Taipingdao Company in the first game plus education exhibition are just the same majors."

"Ah! Yes!" Zhu Pingan's eyes lit up:

"Brother Dog! Everyone may have their own opinions on the most popular majors these days, but one of the most popular majors must be computer science!"

"Why don't we combine computer majors to develop a hard-core programming learning game?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present nodded.

Zhong Chu echoed: "This is a good idea. It avoids a sequel and avoids being fried!"

Fei Yangyang nodded and said: "Besides, the computer major is a popular major, so the audience of players will naturally be larger than those of the first two majors!"

Zhu Pingan concluded: "Generally speaking, programming games are extremely hard-core and have high entry barriers."

"But under the premise of a game plus education exhibition, everything is different!"

"Players can learn about this major through this type of programming game, which is very consistent with the purpose of games plus education."

Cai Gou sighed in his heart, as expected of Uncle Liu Huang, who is an author of online articles, this idea is really extraordinary.

It perfectly interprets the abstract spirit of being too tired to write code at work and relaxing when you go home and write code for a while.

What hardcore programming game?

It’s clearly a bald simulator!

but……

Don't say it!

Don't tell me!

Cai Gou searched the multi-entry store and found several games that met the requirements and were not suitable for people——

[Programmer’s Promotion Notes]

【screeps】

[while true: learn()]

only……

After thinking for a long time, Cai Gou said:

"Your idea is very good. You can keep it temporarily and start the project after the first Game Plus Education Exhibition."

“But to put it bluntly, no matter how good this type of game is, it’s at best on par with Kerbal Space Program and Cities Skylines.”

"It's more than enough to be the finale of the first Game and Education Expo, but it's not even close to making the exhibition famous with a blockbuster."

When Cai Gou said this, everyone in the meeting fell into silence again.

If even the idea of ​​wishing peace cannot meet Cai Gou's needs, then where can we find a breakthrough?

The meeting reached a deadlock!

After a while, Wu Xiu hesitated and said:

"Mr. Cai, I have an immature idea. Is it feasible?"

“There’s no need for any psychological baggage, just say it!”

"Hey!" Wu Xiu nodded and said:

"I think, since neither Kerbal Space Program nor City Skyline, or even the computer professional programming games proposed by Ping An meet the requirements." "Can we jump out and combine games from a single major? model, into a model that combines multiple professions with games?”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present lit up.

"Yeah, that's a good idea!"

"Yes, the game plus education model has been on a single track for about two years from the beginning of Kerbal Space Program to now. It can indeed change our thinking. One game combines multiple disciplines and majors!"

"The combination of multiple majors will definitely make a splash at the game plus education exhibition!"

Of course, there are those who support it and those who oppose it.

"But without violating the game plus education model, it is already very difficult to perfectly combine games with one subject and major. Multiple majors..."

"Yes... In this way, the difficulty of game production will increase exponentially."

"I think we still need to play it safe. After all, this is the first game plus education exhibition. We can't take too many risks..."

Everyone present was divided into two camps, and no one could convince anyone.

After Cai Gou heard Wu Xiu's words, he was like a bolt of lightning splitting through the fog!

Yup!

Since a single major is not shocking enough!

Wouldn’t it be enough to combine multiple majors?

As for the difficulty of game design, it is not a problem at all for him!

When Cai Gou thought of this, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

When everyone saw this scene, the quarrel gradually stopped.

Zhu Pingan asked: "Brother Dog, do you have any ideas?"

"Indeed, I think this game perfectly meets the requirements of combining multiple disciplines!"

"And once it is produced, it will definitely be a blockbuster at the game plus education exhibition!"

In the eyes of everyone’s expectation,

Cai Gou stood up and walked to the writing board, picked up the whiteboard pen, and wrote down -

[Biology] [Physics] [Chemistry] [Engineering] [Geography] [Agriculture] [Medicine] [Environmental Science] [Psychology] [Economics] […]

In the process of Cai Gou's writing, he wrote about one more subject each time.

The mouths of everyone present unconsciously grew larger.

I really like the words of Taiping Road Company employees——

what? !

No!

Are you adding knowledge to the game?

Or add games to the knowledge?

good! well!

You play this game, right?

I... like it so much!

This is really - Thai pants are hot!

Cai Gou turned around and looked at the stunned people and said:

"If you want to play, play with a big one!"

"We were the first to propose the idea of ​​combining multiple disciplines. In the future, other major companies will definitely imitate and even activate the Sharingan."

"But so what?"

"We must use our strength to let other major manufacturers know what it means to be an insurmountable monument!"

Zhu Pingan listened to these words, swallowed his saliva and asked:

"Then... Brother Dog?"

"What's the name of this game?"

Cai Gou said with a malicious smile:

"Lack of oxygen!"

Everyone nodded eagerly upon hearing this!

Hypoxia?

In the river!

In the Ganges!

This name is very catchy as soon as you hear it!

A game that combines so many disciplines!

Everyone is deprived of oxygen just thinking about it!

Players swim in the ocean of knowledge——

It is normal for the cybernetic lack of oxygen due to lack of electronic water... right?
