Number One Game Designer

There is a word that suits players very well when playing games, which is called analogy.

That is to say, even if it is a completely unfamiliar game, old players can often get started faster than someone who doesn't play the game very much, and find out various small functions and small settings faster.

After groping for three minutes, Afeng didn’t think that this game was a money-swindling game. The simple but not rough design, user-friendly and infrequent prompts, only these two points, Afeng felt that this was not simple Money scam game.

Or it is not very accurate in terms of games. Generally speaking, games often include an entertaining thing, but this VROL has been in Afeng for five minutes to understand the operation. I can’t find the kind of thing that is common in usual OL games. .

There are no NPCs with golden or gray question marks on their heads, no warehouse boxes to put things in, and no blue blood tanks and skill images. Ah Feng controlled his character and rummaged through the small room, but he couldn’t find it. The book of "Explosive Techniques in Three Minutes".

According to the game experience and the things like portals erected in the corners, Afeng speculates that this should be a small apartment for free for each player. This apartment is very modern, with sofa TV, fish tank bookshelves, dining table balcony, bar DJ, This is more like a living room for a party, because there is no bathroom and bedroom in the Sims game, so obviously only playing this aspect is considered.

After the basic exploration, Afeng naturally placed the next target on the thing that looked like a portal. There was no way. This thing was too conspicuous. It was almost obvious that the word portal was written on his face. But this small room belonging to the player is full of modern things. A Feng looks at the portal on the left and the wall-mounted TV and karaoke on the right. Okay, this is probably a combination of Chinese and Western.

The portal is the core gameplay. A Feng walked up and realized that there will be a console with a click here, which can both browse the world and create the world. Since it is exploration, of course, you must first familiarize yourself with the world. At this point, Fang Xi clicks first "Creating the World".

The curtain of water is opened in front of you, and the world template displayed in front of you can be seen in a variety of ways. There are not only colorful clock towers like a library, but also simple deserts with only one color at a glance, and of course there are More simple scenes, such as a picnic green area, or a boxing ring, a sunny beach, or a quiet and empty cemetery.

After choosing a world, there are different options that you can change yourself.

Does it require the owner's consent to enter the world... This seems to be able to invite other players to come.

Is there any sensitive word setting in the world... So it seems that this game can be played by children?

Whether there is an adventure mission in the world...the significance is not clear yet.

Whether anonymity is enabled in the world... this is also not clear.

Is simultaneous interpretation enabled in the world... Fuck, this feature is a bit 6P!

Knowing what is going on in creating his own world, Afeng probably figured out the way of this game based on his years of player experience.

First of all, of course, the VR in the name of the game is not clear, because Hongyi's official website does not sell VR devices, and I don’t know who the creative studio of this game is, so the two letters of VR are not yet available. Know what it means.

But putting aside this specious and confused VR, Afeng first figured out that this is an almost purely social game. There are no combat-related factors in the game, such as health bars, such as damage movement speed skills. such as. But at the same time, it has achieved the ultimate in communication. This game is more like building a simple but free playground, and then waiting for you and your friends to come here to play happily.

You can create a stove and a few sofas for a fireside conversation, and you can move this scene to the forest and add a few wolf howls behind you. This environment is very suitable for telling horror stories. Or set up a stage for a bar, where the players sit under the stage, and then take turns on stage one by one with a singing voice...

In short, because the environment can be set freely, it has infinite creativity and is more free than in reality. At the same time, this game is a bit like "Origin of All Things" in some aspects. The Origin of All Things has also abandoned most of the constraints of traditional games. , Let the players play in the creation of this article.

This "VROL" is the same, it also gave up all the stereotypes of online games, and instead did its best to optimize the social aspect.

At this time, what Afeng first remembered was the brothers who stayed up all night together in college and ended up scattered around the world after graduation. If you use this or everyone can get together in this virtual world and have a chat and play together?

Only two or three years after graduation, the brothers who used to sleep at the end of the bed are already very difficult to meet in reality, and I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

But before that, Afeng plans to look at another function of this portal, which is to browse the room.

The room name can be set freely, no matter whether you have access permission or not, you can see the general situation of the room when you click on it. Afeng basically sees a piece of Latin alphabet. It seems that I noticed this game more for the time being. Are foreigners.

And until this time, Afeng saw the cute Chinese room name with emoji, was slightly startled, and then clicked in.

...

At the Hongyi headquarters, Fang Xi raised his head from the front of the monitor and was taken aback: he immersed himself in writing a game update, but the sky was actually dark?

The display in front of him is the VROL that Afeng has just played recently. It is surprisingly that Fang Xi secretly opened a "black account" on the Honghu platform authentication with his own authority, and then released the game under the name of the black account.

The biggest scruples of Hongyi is of course that he is afraid of smashing a golden sign that he has finally earned in this world. Although Conscience is like a Blizzard script, there will be a day of eating books sooner or later, but of course this self-destructing Great Wall The later the better, and more because this "VROL" itself is also interested in experimentation, so Fang Xi wanted to see if this type of game has a future.

After the vote, if the expectation is all praise, Fang Xi will naturally claim that this is a game he made with great effort. If the bad reviews are rampant, then the "FX studio" will only be wronged and disappear quietly.

Although Fang Xi first proposed VR in this space and time, he has an additional 20 years of experience and understands how VR is a potential thing, but when it comes to VR games, this thing is still in the concept stage in the last time and space, so in Of course Fang Xi didn't understand this, so he was confused, so he didn't hesitate to work overtime and then prepared to ask for directions.

However, it is gratifying that although the development of the game after the launch is not the same as expected, at least there are almost no negative reviews. The few negative reviews are still disappointed because there are a few brothers who are looking forward to entering the game. And return, so word of mouth is still guaranteed.

"But I want to make this a closer game, but how can it become such a positive learning software now?"

Fang Xi fell into deep thought.
