There's really something wrong with this online game plan
Chapter 470 Big brother, it's 2 o'clock in the morning
Chapter 470 Big brother, it's twelve o'clock in the morning
sometimes.
In the torrent of the times.
Often, the wheel of history is rolling forward, and the feeling is not deep enough.
And the latecomers, standing as bystanders, may feel more deeply than the parties involved.
For example, in Lin Yao's previous life, the famous "Assassin's Creed" series, Ubisoft's front door.
Which are the best works?
If you ask fans of this series, most of them will give the same answer.
That's the Ezio trilogy.
This trilogy completely shows Ezio's life.
From Pope Alexander VI to Leonardo da Vinci in these three games featuring Ezio.
Players can chat and laugh happily as Ezio. At the same time, because of the portrayal of the entire three works, Ezio has directly become the most three-dimensional protagonist in the Assassin's Creed series.
The last installment of Ezio's trilogy, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, was released in 2011.
After this work.
The Assassin's Creed series began to reform.
But the general framework of the series' gameplay has not changed.
It just added elements such as naval battles and tower defense.
Until... Assassin's Creed: Unity came out.
After experiencing the stealth assassination for a long time, the player has experienced aesthetic fatigue and no longer likes this mode!
Moreover, this work is really full of traces of rush work everywhere, and there are so many bugs that it is outrageous!
All players lost their patience, and even the word-of-mouth of the IP of Assassin's Creed fell to the bottom.
Xiongxiong's sales hit a record low.
then.
The time came to 2017.
The disastrous defeat of the hero made Ubisoft learn from the pain. They gave up the road of annualized Assassin's Creed, but launched "Assassin's Creed: Origin" after a year of silence.
With a bang, the first part of the Mythology Trilogy was released.
All assassin elements, in this one, are almost completely eliminated.
Except that the name is also called Assassin's Creed, there is no shadow of Assassin's Creed.
Not to mention the quintessential assassin like Altaïr, who secretly assassinated the Hidden Sword White Robe.
Even the most prominent features of previous games, such as hood, hidden blade, concealment, assassination, bird's-eye view, eagle eye, and leap of faith, are superficial, just pretending, the most iconic hidden blade, in this work, even There is no way to instantly kill high-level enemies.
The experience of players playing Ezio alone in sneaking into a heavily guarded castle, assassinating the archbishop, and taking the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops is gone.
And Origins came out just five years after the critically acclaimed Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
Five years.
Why did it become like this?
Why is stealth assassination suddenly not popular?
Lin Yao felt that there was a reason why Ubisoft wanted to do porcelain work instead of diamonds, but the times had indeed changed...
It's not just Assassin's Creed.
"Split Cell", "Metal Gear Solid", "Hitman 47", a large number of once-guaranteed sales, and the top cards that sneaked into the game, have all become representatives of popular and unpopular games.
Because with the passage of time, the combat system of action games has become more and more rich and perfect, whether it is the type of weapons or the action template, it is not what it used to be.
On the contrary, the once-popular assassination style gameplay is very general, and the essence of the gameplay has not changed or expanded for so many years.
Apart from adjusting the player's experience in terms of difficulty, there is no breakthrough.
As a result, this type of game has gradually become an accessory of mainstream games.
Players are constantly receiving more intuitive stimuli.
It is no longer acceptable to squat and walk, step by step, and the stealth gameplay that tests patience and the spirit of studying the game.
If "Assassin's Creed" continues, it is estimated that it will be even worse than the tepid "Killer 47", so Ubisoft thinks it is time to break the shackles!
In the myth trilogy, they added a large number of numerical systems, the Hidden Blade is no longer invincible, and the assassin does not have to hide in the crowd.
They are no longer assassins, but more like berserkers.
Then, players and times also gave the answer.
They got it right!
From a business point of view, the new version of the Mythology trilogy perfectly caters to the needs of players and the market, and once again achieved great success.
But when Lin Yao played the Assassin's Creed mythology trilogy, she was really in a trance.
Just one feeling, that is, time flies... so fast.
How long has it been.
She thought at the beginning that many players thought that the most attractive point of "Assassin's Creed" suddenly became a shackle...
She is in it, and sometimes it is really unreal. If you let a new player who has only played the myth trilogy play the old Assassin's Creed, it is estimated that only playing "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and then Going to play "The Legend of Zelda: Weaving Dream Island" has the same feeling.
It's really the same series of games! ?
Yes.
Bystanders are expected to make such an exclamation immediately.
Of course, it's not that the reform is not good. Lin Yao has always felt that game reform is necessary, especially for famous game IPs.
If there is no reform, Nintendo’s Mario and Zelda IPs will probably stay in the player’s memory forever like Castlevania, staying in the sound of FUCK KONAMI instead of becoming the most famous IP in Lin Yao’s previous life , is famous all over the world, and still maintains a super high popularity, even becoming an outlier in the game field.
Lin Yao just felt that time flies so fast.
In fact, it was not only the game that gave her this idea, but also all aspects of reality.
Flip phone, 3G, forum, post bar, wallet.
If you don't pay attention, these things will become memories of the past.
The times are advancing, people are changing, no one can stop it, no one can.
And here... it's actually the same.
When Lin Yao came to this world, she didn't feel deeply about this point.
But this time when "Civilization" came out, the players were disappointed, which really made her deeply understand...
The world is indeed changing every day.
The world will not revolve around her, and will not stop completely just because Linmu Studio releases excellent works.
And the players are always changing.
When "Warcraft" came out, the era when players were still discussing how to innovate RTS seems to have passed.
Players can no longer accept this type of game.
Too difficult, too troublesome, too time-consuming.
It has become the consensus of many players, just like Lin Yao's previous life. No one thought that in the game competition circle, he was at the bottom of the despise circle, and was despised by all the players in the DOTA circle at the top of the despise circle. It is said that dogs do not comment on League of Legends professional events In the end, it will become the most successful e-sports event, and it will become the stage of the event that all commentators want to be on.
You may be able to find some fragments of that time in the corners of the Internet, but there are only a few fragments, and the era has passed.
Turn-based strategy games, or strategy games, a large category of game types.
In this world, it seems to have become the past...
At the same time, facing the same dilemma as "Assassin's Creed"... the players seem to be tired.
"It feels so fast..."
Lin Yao leaned back on the chair, looking at the disappointing remarks of various players on the community forum, feeling a little emotional.
"What do you mean?" Mu Wanqing stood behind her, a little worried and absent-minded.
"time."
Lin Yao smiled, and then replied: "It feels like we launched "Breakout" and "Warcraft" just yesterday...but all of a sudden, players don't like the latter."
"Yes."
Mu Wanqing was stunned when she heard the words, and then she was also in a daze...
"It makes people feel old." Lin Yao continued.
Mu Wanqing immediately came back to her senses, and said with some amusement, "You're only 24 this year...you..."
"What 24!? That's real age, 25..."
"That's not so old." Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, feeling a little helpless.
Lin Yao didn't speak, and stretched herself. She couldn't explain to Mu Wanqing how she was feeling now, not just this life, but counting her previous life... Her mood was really complicated.
but.
I don't know if it's an illusion.
This year, Lin Yao always felt that, apart from the memories of the game, most of the previous life began to become blurred... On the contrary, the impressions of people like Mu Wanqing, Lin Xi, and Zhu Nianqiao, and the memories of being with these people, became more and more profound stand up.
"In fact, we are in it, and the feeling is not deep."
Seeing that Lin Yao didn't speak, Mu Wanqing thought for a while and said, "But the game circle and players' preferences are indeed changing all the time. In fact, this also has something to do with us... We have been launching games that refresh players' perceptions. From "Breakout" to the recent "Super Mario Party", various games have refreshed players' perceptions and changed their aesthetics.
At the same time, it also changed the direction of peers, allowing them to start thinking in order to be competitive, and then let more new games that refresh players' perceptions come out... Now it is indeed different from when we were in eBay. Our time period Launching a turn-based strategy game is indeed a thankless task, and it's normal for players to express disappointment.
The point now is, what do we do? "
"What are you doing?"
Lin Yao put down her stretched hands, thought for a while, and said, "There is nothing to do, just a large-scale announcement, and then a step-by-step introduction to the game's features is enough."
"...Don't you need to throw out more attractive points?"
Mu Wanqing thought for a while, then asked in a low voice.
"No, leave this link to "Call of Duty" and two action reasoning games."
Lin Yao shook her head: "Actually, I don't believe that players have completely abandoned the enduring genre of strategy games."
Yes.
Although Lin Yao saw a lot of negative comments.
But she really didn't believe it!
A game genre that originated from traditional board games such as Chess and Chess.
Even in Lin Yao's previous life, the era that focused more on excitement than this world... could make P Club, which focuses on strategy games, flourish, and even said that some large-scale acquisitions of strategy games may be made in the next few years.
It's going to be really unbearable.
The development circle and the player circle here have changed, and a large part of the reason is because of Linmu Studio.
And how many years has Linmu Studio been established?Are those old players who discussed "Warcraft" dead?
not at all.
Moreover.
Lin Yao has always firmly believed that there are some types of games that will never die out.
For example, in Lin Yao's previous life, that was nothing compared to Nintendo's first-party IP, Mario Zelda and the like!On the outside of the outside - Tetris!
He never quit the game stage.
Even if it is 2021, when masterpieces are flying all over the sky!
Lin Yao has seen the new Tetris game, and, this broken game, dare to sell it for 40 dollars!There are still people buying this, can you believe it?
Therefore, this kind of elimination game can never withdraw from the stage of history.
And strategy games.
Same thing!
Anyway, she doesn't believe that players will miss "Civilization".
Let's wait and see!
……
11 month 5 number.
Forest Studio's "Super Mario Party" is officially on sale!
As for this game, the domestic response was mediocre, but in Europe, America and Japan, the response was enthusiastic.
Simultaneously.
Linmu Studio stepped up its publicity efforts and began to promote its upcoming turn-based strategy game "Civilization" on a large scale, and began to release new legendary leaders of civilization every day.
But the response is average.
11 month 7 number.
The two third-party masterpieces "The Last Moment" and "Bloodthirsty", which are exclusive to Game Player, are officially unlocked.
An ACT, a FPS in the style of American manga.
Two mainstream and long-announced masterpieces have received the attention they deserve.
Especially the FPS with American manga style, not only the art style appeals to European and American players, but also the game type. Even many domestic players are attracted by its unique art style, and the topics and discussions gradually increase. .
Two Game player exclusive masterpieces on the day of release.
The weekly magazines of the major authoritative game media just went on sale, and the game media all released the three masterpieces at the same time, followed by the period when "Civilization" was ready to release, called "Black Thursday" before "Black Friday" '.
but.
No matter which media weekly "Civilization" is in, the introduction length is the least.
The ones with the most length are "Bloodthirst" and "Super Mario Party".
One is visually stimulating, the other is novel and interesting, and both games have been released. Compared with "Civilization", which seems to be less popular now and has not yet been released, it is indeed more worthy of attention.
And the three games were released this week, no surprises.
"Bloodthirsty" and "Super Mario Party" won the weekly sales champions in several regions respectively.
"Last Moment" is a little later, but it also follows "Bloodlust".
And at the same time.
"Civilization" announced the last leader of domestic civilization - Wu Zetian.
This caused some waves in the country.
But for many overseas players, the feeling is not deep, not as good as the legendary leaders in other regions announced earlier.
With the announcement of the last civilization leader, "Civilization" has also gone through the announcement stage and is ready to be released.
gilber co.
Frank was immediately relieved when he found out that Linmu Studio did not release any promotional materials the next day.
"Although the type is limited... But I have to admit that they really have an idea, and even moved the famous leader into the game!"
While Frank breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a little admiration. Admitting the excellence of his opponent was also a proof of his own excellence to a certain extent. He still understood this truth.
So in this regard, he has never been stingy: "It's just a pity that they seem to have a problem with the judgment of the market, and they actually play a turn-based strategy game."
"This is the shortcoming of Yiyantang." Hawkins said suddenly.
"?"
Frank turned his head slowly and looked at him.
"It's not our model."
Hawkins seemed to be aware of the ambiguity in his words, and explained: "In terms of game production, the success of Linmu Studio's previous works all relied on their helm, Lin Yao, which further improved her ability in game production. The right to speak, but in the end, she is just a person.
The information a person can accept is very limited. With the rapid development of the game industry, the disadvantages are revealed. Her judgment on the market and players is prone to problems.
But we are different, the market trend and the change of players are very clear! "
"……really."
After listening to Frank, he suddenly realized, and then nodded in agreement.
Indeed.
The games under their two brands are not made randomly, and the exclusive third party is not randomly selected. Unless it is a very famous producer, everything depends on the market!
On the other hand, it may not be possible to do this under one word...
Ok.
but……
The two seem to have forgotten that although Linmu Studio is indeed Lin Yao's voice, "Super Mario Party", "Ring Fit Adventure", "Kirby" including the earlier "Dark Soul" are also hers. credit.
However, it is probably at this time that the turn-based strategy game is launched, which is too heavyweight.
Or maybe it was because the two were immersed in joy.
In short.
Both of them didn't realize what was wrong, and instead began to criticize the system of Linmu Studio.
……
domestic.
Most of the discussion on the forum is not "Super Mario Party" and "Civilization", but "Bloodthirst" and "The Last Minute".
This is normal.
Lin Yao asked herself, if she has never been in contact with the Civilization series, Borderlands and Civilization can be chosen one of six times, and the former will be released first, then unless she really likes strategy games, she should also discuss Borderlands, This is very normal.
However, with the announcement of the last leader of "Civilization", the domestic leader Wu Zetian, it did cause some waves.
The main reason is that she is the only female emperor in China, and when the game lineup was announced in the second half of the year, there was a scene of Wu Zhou, so many players are discussing, saying that now that Wu Zhou is out, there should be only Linmu Studio left in the second half of the year. There are two games.
Yes.
They are actually paying attention to this...
Although they also discussed games, there were a lot of games this month, and the voice was not loud.
And "Civilization", in this tepid, even slightly disappointed atmosphere, ushered in the release day... and the judgment day.
October 11st, 15 noon.
"Civilization" is officially unlocked.
After eating at twelve noon, Kang Yi came to the computer on time, opened the Vaporwave game platform, and directly clicked on the preloaded "Civilization".
His resume has been passed, and he has passed the second interview of Linmu Studio. Next, logically speaking, he should calm down and prepare for the final interview.
But he was really curious... Why did Linmu Studio, the best game company in his mind, want to make strategy games again.
He considers himself to have a certain amount of experience in game production... Thanks to the game "Warcraft", he released a map imitating the MOBA online game of Linmu Studio on the creative workshop, and continued to update it for nearly two years During the period, he went to Kexi Entertainment for a month, and the defendant went to court. Finally, Linmu Studio came forward and was able to get away...
But judging from his shallow experience, it is true that strategy games should no longer be played at this time, and they should still be turn-based.
Because he also noticed that times had changed.
But Linmu Studio just released a turn-based strategy game.
He can't figure it out!
Out of curiosity, out of the consideration of joining Linmu Studio soon, out of respect for "Warcraft", a game that gave me a chance to set foot in the game circle, and Linmu Studio.
He wanted to play a few games of "Civilization" before joining the job, and figure out why Lin Yao made this game...
This might even be a plus for the final interview.
Kang Yi was thinking while looking at the screen.
At this point, the game is configured.
The game window pops up.
The CG starts playing.
In fact, it is a promotional video in the face-to-face meeting.
Kang Yi watched the CG completely, and held the mouse until the initial page appeared.
"Another strategy game from Linmu Studio, let me see...single player, multiplayer, mod..."
Kang Yi glanced at the initial page, and was a little surprised when he saw the mod, this is also a game that supports creative workshops!
However, the game has just been released, and there must be no content in the creative workshop, so he was a little surprised, then looked away, and turned to look at the two options of single player and multiplayer.
After a moment of hesitation.
He chose single player mode.
Let's get familiar with the game first.
With this in mind, Kang Yi clicked on the single player mode, and under the single player mode, there is a secondary menu.
Including quick start, setting, script and teaching mode, etc.
With quick eyes and quick hands, he clicked a quick start.
"Eh!"
Watching the screen go dark, Kang Yi was a little anxious.
But it's too late.
The game started to load, and the magnetic narration sounded, introducing the civilization preset in the quick start...Wu Zhou.
"God's blessings be with you, Empress Wu Zetian, you are shrewd and beautiful, you rose from a humble concubine to a divine queen—your people are calling for you to rule them..."
Simultaneously.
On the loading page, in addition to the background story of the leader, there are also the characteristics of civilization, as well as the introduction of special arms and technologies.
【Strategy of War: The battle bonus of the general is increased by 15%, and its birth speed is increased by 50%】
【Zhuge Crossbowmen, Papermaking Workshop】
Kang Yi glanced at the loading page, the above was the introduction of the civilization leader, there is nothing to say about it, but below, he guessed, this should be the characteristic of Wu Zhou civilization.
And the feeling... I have to say.
Just loading the screen, the feeling of being difficult to use is overwhelming...
This thing, he has no idea what it is...
"Forget it, it's all turned on, let's try it first."
See that the map is loaded.
【Start Your Journey】appears.
Kang Yi hesitated for a while, but in the end he gave up the idea of turning it off, but was thinking about whether he could play a game through.
Click the Start Journey button.
Screen jumps.
The game screen comes out.
The first thing that catches the eye is the hexagonal grid, two teams, or two units.
And around the two units, there is a black fog of war...
Instead of the fog of war, the two initial units stand illuminated all around, with different terrain features.
There are forests, plains, rivers, and hillsides.
Try to imitate reality as much as possible.
Kang Yi came to a conclusion, and then a prompt popped up, asking him if he had any experience in strategy games.
Kang Yi thought about it, and chose not to.
And the moment he pressed No, another window popped up and began to teach him how to operate it.
Everything is in detail, and it is eloquent.
"Hmm... Pioneer, explore the world..."
While watching the teaching, Kang Yi built the first city on a hillside.
The city appeared, and the area symbolizing the territory spread, and a large area of grids belonged to the city. After the city was built, two very conspicuous icons also appeared.
One is an experimental bottle.
One is a hammer.
technology and production.
This kind of thing doesn't need to be taught by games, Kang Yi knows what it is just by looking at the icon.
"Ceramics, animal husbandry, archery, mining... What the hell, the technology tree is so long? Ancient times, classical times, medieval times... the information age?"
Kang Yi suddenly realized something was wrong... The time span of this thing is really the same as the promotional video, the time span is ridiculously large!
Today...you should be able to play it through, right?
Kang Yi was suddenly worried, he scratched his head, thinking that he only started, and shook his head.
Forget it, let's talk after playing.
He took a closer look at the difference in early technology, and then chose archery.
Then during the construction, facing the choice of soldiers, scouts, workers, and monuments, Kang Yi fell into a tangle again.
Hmm... since I chose archery.
Let's explode a wave of soldiers first!
After hesitating for a moment, Kang Yi used his experience in playing "Warcraft" to choose to produce fighters.
At last.
He controlled another group of initial units, warriors, and began to explore the fog of war according to the game teaching.
After everything is done.
The [Next Round] icon lights up.
Kang Yi moved the mouse and clicked.
Round jump.
He also took advantage of this time to look at the information on the top information bar of the game.
Technology, money, trade, satisfaction, golden age, social policy, religion...
Kang Yi's head grew bigger and bigger.
Although he probably vaguely knew what it was all about, but because he had just started the game, the specific function was not very clear, so he simply ignored it.
And this time.
The bout came back to him.
Playing against AI, the round jump is unexpectedly fast.
"You're not very good at computers, are you?"
Kang Yi was a little worried when he saw the speed so fast.
Players are like this, the computer is too strong, no, the frustration is too strong.
The computer is too weak, that won't work either!No sense of accomplishment!
It's quite...
But now that the game has just started, everything is not clear, Kang Yi worried for a while, then put it down, turned around and continued to operate.
However, in the second round, he didn't seem to be able to operate anything. It took 8 rounds to build a warrior, and 12 rounds to research archery.
So these can't be moved, they can only be left. The only thing he can control is the warrior who goes to explore the map.
He controlled the warrior, walked a few grids forward again, found out a small part of the area, and clicked the next round.
"No wonder the players are disappointed... This game mode is really not suitable for now."
Kang Yi looked at the screen and frowned slightly. This kind of game that lasted for dozens of rounds without anything to do was really boring.
And the operation is too simple, RTS still needs real-time control, what's the point?next round?
Kang Yi became a little pessimistic about the future of this game, and his mood also became heavy.
but.
Pessimism is pessimism.
The game is still to be played.
Scientific research and construction cannot be moved. Every round, Kang Yi controls the initial warrior unit to explore the map.
As the number of rounds progresses.
More and more landscapes appeared in his sight.
Lakes, oases, swamps, even frozen ground.
During this period, he also met his first AI opponent, South Korea.
When they see their fighters, the dialogue window will come out automatically.
Kang Yi can trade with opponents, declare war and set up embassies, and there are many other ways to play that will be released later.
"Will you pay back every round when you set up an embassy?"
Kang Yi saw the other party's request, smiled, then clicked to accept, and continued to explore the picture.
then.
The city-state system and other opponents also appeared one by one.
He just controlled the warriors like this, and skipped more than ten rounds until the archery was researched.
He just got busy again.
Because he has to decide the direction of the next technology research, choose what unit to build next, and decide on social policies.
Yes, social policy!
There are currently four, namely the traditional policy, the liberal policy, the honor policy, the piety policy...
Well, even ideology.
"Crazy."
Although Kang Yi felt that the gameplay of this game was a bit monotonous and the operation was too simple.
But he has to admit that Linmu Studio is really serious about making this game, it's too detailed!
The advantages of the turn-based system also emerged at this time.
He can slowly consider the policy and the next direction...
Kang Yi carefully looked at all the policies of the game, and then chose Glory, because it seemed that it was born for fighting.
Next, he began researching what the city should build next.
After the bow and arrow technology is completed.
He can now produce archers, but when he opened the construction system, what instantly caught Kang Yi's attention was not the new type of archers, but a miracle...
[Temple of Artemis: +10% food for all cities, +15% productivity for building remote units]
This miracle, just look at the description!
But the number of rounds required for this thing is also heavyweight, 37 rounds!
A group of archers only has 8 rounds!
but……
do not care!
This looks like a good thing, let’s talk about it after it’s built!
Kang Yi directly clicked Miracle.
Start building!
then.
Game continues.
Before he knew it, as the game progressed, more elements began to appear before Kang Yi's eyes...
Ancient ruins, barbarians, religious pantheons, technological values, cultural values, happiness index, different terrains, different resources, and different city-states.
Dazzled.
The boring feeling at the beginning is slowly fading away.
An expression of interest began to appear on Kang Yi's face, and his body leaned forward slightly, performing various operations with great interest.
soon.
Kang Yi got a little confused.
He suddenly discovered that the most interesting part of this game is always the next round...
Because of the civilization game, the civilization strategic deployment controlled by the player is quantified and subdivided into visible and predictable time periods.
For example, if there are still a few rounds, the new technology will be successfully researched, and if the new technology is successfully researched, different terrains can be developed, new miracles can be built, and new arms can be built...
For example, there are still a few rounds before a new miracle will be built, food will increase, productivity will increase, and things will be built faster.
For another example, policy points will be accumulated every round, and when the specified number is reached, new policies can be promulgated, and he can decide what policies the civilization should adopt next that are beneficial to the current situation.
At once……
I feel that the process of history can be mastered at any time, and there will be new gains in every round.
Then, people can't help but look forward to the next round...
Repeatedly.
The rhythm is very good.
soon.
Kang Yi started to pull the chair.
He leaned back against the table, leaning forward even more.
"Fuck, it's none of your business if I expand the territory, you're angry with a hammer!"
"Classic era!? So fast?"
"Why is the population stagnant..."
"Why is the satisfaction level -1..."
"Those rascals!"
"I need truffles... Where can I get truffles here? Let me check."
"Shut up!! I'm going to build a new city here!"
"You wait, I will explode and bulldoze you later, and the territory has expanded to the border of our country!"
"Great scientist?"
"You, this is the Middle Ages? Tsk, this is more than a miracle, it shouldn't be built! It feels like a waste of more than 30 rounds!"
"..."
As more and more cities are built, the land is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more places that need to be considered, and the technology is becoming more and more complicated, and various new systems are unveiled one by one.
Kang Yi's initial sense of boredom has completely disappeared.
On the contrary... the more you play, the better your brain becomes.
……
at the same time.
Pengcheng.
a certain neighborhood.
After Feng Kangshun finished his lunch, he logged into the Vaporwave game platform as usual, ready to start a pleasant weekend game time!
He is a well-known social butterfly on the forum, with many friends.
So while thinking about what to play first, he habitually opened the friend list, planning to find a few people to play with.
Then, he was taken aback.
[Fuyou is playing "Civilization", Aikang is playing "Civilization", Nan Hansi is playing "Civilization", Qingfeng is playing "Civilization", Qingyu is playing "Civilization"...]
His top friends are all playing civilization!
"The games of Linmu Studio are really eye-catching..."
Feng Kangshun came back to his senses and shook his head lightly. In fact, this is considered normal.
Every time Linmu Studio releases a new game, such a grand occasion will appear on his friends list... After all, their games are really good.
But this time he was not interested, and at the same time he felt that others should not be interested in turn-based strategy games. There were so many people playing at the same time, which was really beyond his expectations.
"never mind."
Feng Kangshun took a look, scrolled down, and finally found a few friends who hadn't played "Civilization". He sent a message to these friends, and after calling for friends, they started a pleasant journey of "Breakout" together. .
He is indeed not interested in strategy games like "Civilization", or turn-based strategy games.
So... let them play theirs, let them play their own!
three hours later.
Feng Kangshun was a little tired after playing "Breakout" for so long. He turned off "Breakout" and was going to lie down for a while and go to switch to find some casual games to relax.
Before leaving, he glanced at his friend list again.
Those few people are still playing "Civilization".
"Aren't you tired yet?"
Feng Kangshun smiled, made a joke, rubbed his neck and left the computer.
Then, another three hours later.
Feng Kangshun put down the switch, and while waiting for the takeaway, he sat down in front of the computer again and turned on the Vaporwave game platform again.
The friend list pops up again.
And those few people are still playing "Civilization"...
"Is it really... so fun?"
Feng Kangshun was stunned again, then shook his head helplessly. He didn't understand, so he stopped reading and opened "Breakout" on his own.
Next.
Eat, play games, take a bath, and play casual games on the switch.
This set of procedures goes down.
It is already twelve o'clock.
Time flies so fast.
Feng Kangshun stretched his waist, put down the switch again, thinking about whether to have a late-night snack, and at the same time clicked on the friend list again to take a look.
His friends who have been online since noon.
just now.
still.
Playing Civilization...
Still those same people, still the same game...
"?"
Feng Kangshun couldn't hold back at all, and slowly made a question mark.
no.
big brother.
It's twelve o'clock in the morning! !
Why are you still playing! ?
[-] characters ask for a monthly ticket...
(End of this chapter)
sometimes.
In the torrent of the times.
Often, the wheel of history is rolling forward, and the feeling is not deep enough.
And the latecomers, standing as bystanders, may feel more deeply than the parties involved.
For example, in Lin Yao's previous life, the famous "Assassin's Creed" series, Ubisoft's front door.
Which are the best works?
If you ask fans of this series, most of them will give the same answer.
That's the Ezio trilogy.
This trilogy completely shows Ezio's life.
From Pope Alexander VI to Leonardo da Vinci in these three games featuring Ezio.
Players can chat and laugh happily as Ezio. At the same time, because of the portrayal of the entire three works, Ezio has directly become the most three-dimensional protagonist in the Assassin's Creed series.
The last installment of Ezio's trilogy, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, was released in 2011.
After this work.
The Assassin's Creed series began to reform.
But the general framework of the series' gameplay has not changed.
It just added elements such as naval battles and tower defense.
Until... Assassin's Creed: Unity came out.
After experiencing the stealth assassination for a long time, the player has experienced aesthetic fatigue and no longer likes this mode!
Moreover, this work is really full of traces of rush work everywhere, and there are so many bugs that it is outrageous!
All players lost their patience, and even the word-of-mouth of the IP of Assassin's Creed fell to the bottom.
Xiongxiong's sales hit a record low.
then.
The time came to 2017.
The disastrous defeat of the hero made Ubisoft learn from the pain. They gave up the road of annualized Assassin's Creed, but launched "Assassin's Creed: Origin" after a year of silence.
With a bang, the first part of the Mythology Trilogy was released.
All assassin elements, in this one, are almost completely eliminated.
Except that the name is also called Assassin's Creed, there is no shadow of Assassin's Creed.
Not to mention the quintessential assassin like Altaïr, who secretly assassinated the Hidden Sword White Robe.
Even the most prominent features of previous games, such as hood, hidden blade, concealment, assassination, bird's-eye view, eagle eye, and leap of faith, are superficial, just pretending, the most iconic hidden blade, in this work, even There is no way to instantly kill high-level enemies.
The experience of players playing Ezio alone in sneaking into a heavily guarded castle, assassinating the archbishop, and taking the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops is gone.
And Origins came out just five years after the critically acclaimed Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
Five years.
Why did it become like this?
Why is stealth assassination suddenly not popular?
Lin Yao felt that there was a reason why Ubisoft wanted to do porcelain work instead of diamonds, but the times had indeed changed...
It's not just Assassin's Creed.
"Split Cell", "Metal Gear Solid", "Hitman 47", a large number of once-guaranteed sales, and the top cards that sneaked into the game, have all become representatives of popular and unpopular games.
Because with the passage of time, the combat system of action games has become more and more rich and perfect, whether it is the type of weapons or the action template, it is not what it used to be.
On the contrary, the once-popular assassination style gameplay is very general, and the essence of the gameplay has not changed or expanded for so many years.
Apart from adjusting the player's experience in terms of difficulty, there is no breakthrough.
As a result, this type of game has gradually become an accessory of mainstream games.
Players are constantly receiving more intuitive stimuli.
It is no longer acceptable to squat and walk, step by step, and the stealth gameplay that tests patience and the spirit of studying the game.
If "Assassin's Creed" continues, it is estimated that it will be even worse than the tepid "Killer 47", so Ubisoft thinks it is time to break the shackles!
In the myth trilogy, they added a large number of numerical systems, the Hidden Blade is no longer invincible, and the assassin does not have to hide in the crowd.
They are no longer assassins, but more like berserkers.
Then, players and times also gave the answer.
They got it right!
From a business point of view, the new version of the Mythology trilogy perfectly caters to the needs of players and the market, and once again achieved great success.
But when Lin Yao played the Assassin's Creed mythology trilogy, she was really in a trance.
Just one feeling, that is, time flies... so fast.
How long has it been.
She thought at the beginning that many players thought that the most attractive point of "Assassin's Creed" suddenly became a shackle...
She is in it, and sometimes it is really unreal. If you let a new player who has only played the myth trilogy play the old Assassin's Creed, it is estimated that only playing "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and then Going to play "The Legend of Zelda: Weaving Dream Island" has the same feeling.
It's really the same series of games! ?
Yes.
Bystanders are expected to make such an exclamation immediately.
Of course, it's not that the reform is not good. Lin Yao has always felt that game reform is necessary, especially for famous game IPs.
If there is no reform, Nintendo’s Mario and Zelda IPs will probably stay in the player’s memory forever like Castlevania, staying in the sound of FUCK KONAMI instead of becoming the most famous IP in Lin Yao’s previous life , is famous all over the world, and still maintains a super high popularity, even becoming an outlier in the game field.
Lin Yao just felt that time flies so fast.
In fact, it was not only the game that gave her this idea, but also all aspects of reality.
Flip phone, 3G, forum, post bar, wallet.
If you don't pay attention, these things will become memories of the past.
The times are advancing, people are changing, no one can stop it, no one can.
And here... it's actually the same.
When Lin Yao came to this world, she didn't feel deeply about this point.
But this time when "Civilization" came out, the players were disappointed, which really made her deeply understand...
The world is indeed changing every day.
The world will not revolve around her, and will not stop completely just because Linmu Studio releases excellent works.
And the players are always changing.
When "Warcraft" came out, the era when players were still discussing how to innovate RTS seems to have passed.
Players can no longer accept this type of game.
Too difficult, too troublesome, too time-consuming.
It has become the consensus of many players, just like Lin Yao's previous life. No one thought that in the game competition circle, he was at the bottom of the despise circle, and was despised by all the players in the DOTA circle at the top of the despise circle. It is said that dogs do not comment on League of Legends professional events In the end, it will become the most successful e-sports event, and it will become the stage of the event that all commentators want to be on.
You may be able to find some fragments of that time in the corners of the Internet, but there are only a few fragments, and the era has passed.
Turn-based strategy games, or strategy games, a large category of game types.
In this world, it seems to have become the past...
At the same time, facing the same dilemma as "Assassin's Creed"... the players seem to be tired.
"It feels so fast..."
Lin Yao leaned back on the chair, looking at the disappointing remarks of various players on the community forum, feeling a little emotional.
"What do you mean?" Mu Wanqing stood behind her, a little worried and absent-minded.
"time."
Lin Yao smiled, and then replied: "It feels like we launched "Breakout" and "Warcraft" just yesterday...but all of a sudden, players don't like the latter."
"Yes."
Mu Wanqing was stunned when she heard the words, and then she was also in a daze...
"It makes people feel old." Lin Yao continued.
Mu Wanqing immediately came back to her senses, and said with some amusement, "You're only 24 this year...you..."
"What 24!? That's real age, 25..."
"That's not so old." Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, feeling a little helpless.
Lin Yao didn't speak, and stretched herself. She couldn't explain to Mu Wanqing how she was feeling now, not just this life, but counting her previous life... Her mood was really complicated.
but.
I don't know if it's an illusion.
This year, Lin Yao always felt that, apart from the memories of the game, most of the previous life began to become blurred... On the contrary, the impressions of people like Mu Wanqing, Lin Xi, and Zhu Nianqiao, and the memories of being with these people, became more and more profound stand up.
"In fact, we are in it, and the feeling is not deep."
Seeing that Lin Yao didn't speak, Mu Wanqing thought for a while and said, "But the game circle and players' preferences are indeed changing all the time. In fact, this also has something to do with us... We have been launching games that refresh players' perceptions. From "Breakout" to the recent "Super Mario Party", various games have refreshed players' perceptions and changed their aesthetics.
At the same time, it also changed the direction of peers, allowing them to start thinking in order to be competitive, and then let more new games that refresh players' perceptions come out... Now it is indeed different from when we were in eBay. Our time period Launching a turn-based strategy game is indeed a thankless task, and it's normal for players to express disappointment.
The point now is, what do we do? "
"What are you doing?"
Lin Yao put down her stretched hands, thought for a while, and said, "There is nothing to do, just a large-scale announcement, and then a step-by-step introduction to the game's features is enough."
"...Don't you need to throw out more attractive points?"
Mu Wanqing thought for a while, then asked in a low voice.
"No, leave this link to "Call of Duty" and two action reasoning games."
Lin Yao shook her head: "Actually, I don't believe that players have completely abandoned the enduring genre of strategy games."
Yes.
Although Lin Yao saw a lot of negative comments.
But she really didn't believe it!
A game genre that originated from traditional board games such as Chess and Chess.
Even in Lin Yao's previous life, the era that focused more on excitement than this world... could make P Club, which focuses on strategy games, flourish, and even said that some large-scale acquisitions of strategy games may be made in the next few years.
It's going to be really unbearable.
The development circle and the player circle here have changed, and a large part of the reason is because of Linmu Studio.
And how many years has Linmu Studio been established?Are those old players who discussed "Warcraft" dead?
not at all.
Moreover.
Lin Yao has always firmly believed that there are some types of games that will never die out.
For example, in Lin Yao's previous life, that was nothing compared to Nintendo's first-party IP, Mario Zelda and the like!On the outside of the outside - Tetris!
He never quit the game stage.
Even if it is 2021, when masterpieces are flying all over the sky!
Lin Yao has seen the new Tetris game, and, this broken game, dare to sell it for 40 dollars!There are still people buying this, can you believe it?
Therefore, this kind of elimination game can never withdraw from the stage of history.
And strategy games.
Same thing!
Anyway, she doesn't believe that players will miss "Civilization".
Let's wait and see!
……
11 month 5 number.
Forest Studio's "Super Mario Party" is officially on sale!
As for this game, the domestic response was mediocre, but in Europe, America and Japan, the response was enthusiastic.
Simultaneously.
Linmu Studio stepped up its publicity efforts and began to promote its upcoming turn-based strategy game "Civilization" on a large scale, and began to release new legendary leaders of civilization every day.
But the response is average.
11 month 7 number.
The two third-party masterpieces "The Last Moment" and "Bloodthirsty", which are exclusive to Game Player, are officially unlocked.
An ACT, a FPS in the style of American manga.
Two mainstream and long-announced masterpieces have received the attention they deserve.
Especially the FPS with American manga style, not only the art style appeals to European and American players, but also the game type. Even many domestic players are attracted by its unique art style, and the topics and discussions gradually increase. .
Two Game player exclusive masterpieces on the day of release.
The weekly magazines of the major authoritative game media just went on sale, and the game media all released the three masterpieces at the same time, followed by the period when "Civilization" was ready to release, called "Black Thursday" before "Black Friday" '.
but.
No matter which media weekly "Civilization" is in, the introduction length is the least.
The ones with the most length are "Bloodthirst" and "Super Mario Party".
One is visually stimulating, the other is novel and interesting, and both games have been released. Compared with "Civilization", which seems to be less popular now and has not yet been released, it is indeed more worthy of attention.
And the three games were released this week, no surprises.
"Bloodthirsty" and "Super Mario Party" won the weekly sales champions in several regions respectively.
"Last Moment" is a little later, but it also follows "Bloodlust".
And at the same time.
"Civilization" announced the last leader of domestic civilization - Wu Zetian.
This caused some waves in the country.
But for many overseas players, the feeling is not deep, not as good as the legendary leaders in other regions announced earlier.
With the announcement of the last civilization leader, "Civilization" has also gone through the announcement stage and is ready to be released.
gilber co.
Frank was immediately relieved when he found out that Linmu Studio did not release any promotional materials the next day.
"Although the type is limited... But I have to admit that they really have an idea, and even moved the famous leader into the game!"
While Frank breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a little admiration. Admitting the excellence of his opponent was also a proof of his own excellence to a certain extent. He still understood this truth.
So in this regard, he has never been stingy: "It's just a pity that they seem to have a problem with the judgment of the market, and they actually play a turn-based strategy game."
"This is the shortcoming of Yiyantang." Hawkins said suddenly.
"?"
Frank turned his head slowly and looked at him.
"It's not our model."
Hawkins seemed to be aware of the ambiguity in his words, and explained: "In terms of game production, the success of Linmu Studio's previous works all relied on their helm, Lin Yao, which further improved her ability in game production. The right to speak, but in the end, she is just a person.
The information a person can accept is very limited. With the rapid development of the game industry, the disadvantages are revealed. Her judgment on the market and players is prone to problems.
But we are different, the market trend and the change of players are very clear! "
"……really."
After listening to Frank, he suddenly realized, and then nodded in agreement.
Indeed.
The games under their two brands are not made randomly, and the exclusive third party is not randomly selected. Unless it is a very famous producer, everything depends on the market!
On the other hand, it may not be possible to do this under one word...
Ok.
but……
The two seem to have forgotten that although Linmu Studio is indeed Lin Yao's voice, "Super Mario Party", "Ring Fit Adventure", "Kirby" including the earlier "Dark Soul" are also hers. credit.
However, it is probably at this time that the turn-based strategy game is launched, which is too heavyweight.
Or maybe it was because the two were immersed in joy.
In short.
Both of them didn't realize what was wrong, and instead began to criticize the system of Linmu Studio.
……
domestic.
Most of the discussion on the forum is not "Super Mario Party" and "Civilization", but "Bloodthirst" and "The Last Minute".
This is normal.
Lin Yao asked herself, if she has never been in contact with the Civilization series, Borderlands and Civilization can be chosen one of six times, and the former will be released first, then unless she really likes strategy games, she should also discuss Borderlands, This is very normal.
However, with the announcement of the last leader of "Civilization", the domestic leader Wu Zetian, it did cause some waves.
The main reason is that she is the only female emperor in China, and when the game lineup was announced in the second half of the year, there was a scene of Wu Zhou, so many players are discussing, saying that now that Wu Zhou is out, there should be only Linmu Studio left in the second half of the year. There are two games.
Yes.
They are actually paying attention to this...
Although they also discussed games, there were a lot of games this month, and the voice was not loud.
And "Civilization", in this tepid, even slightly disappointed atmosphere, ushered in the release day... and the judgment day.
October 11st, 15 noon.
"Civilization" is officially unlocked.
After eating at twelve noon, Kang Yi came to the computer on time, opened the Vaporwave game platform, and directly clicked on the preloaded "Civilization".
His resume has been passed, and he has passed the second interview of Linmu Studio. Next, logically speaking, he should calm down and prepare for the final interview.
But he was really curious... Why did Linmu Studio, the best game company in his mind, want to make strategy games again.
He considers himself to have a certain amount of experience in game production... Thanks to the game "Warcraft", he released a map imitating the MOBA online game of Linmu Studio on the creative workshop, and continued to update it for nearly two years During the period, he went to Kexi Entertainment for a month, and the defendant went to court. Finally, Linmu Studio came forward and was able to get away...
But judging from his shallow experience, it is true that strategy games should no longer be played at this time, and they should still be turn-based.
Because he also noticed that times had changed.
But Linmu Studio just released a turn-based strategy game.
He can't figure it out!
Out of curiosity, out of the consideration of joining Linmu Studio soon, out of respect for "Warcraft", a game that gave me a chance to set foot in the game circle, and Linmu Studio.
He wanted to play a few games of "Civilization" before joining the job, and figure out why Lin Yao made this game...
This might even be a plus for the final interview.
Kang Yi was thinking while looking at the screen.
At this point, the game is configured.
The game window pops up.
The CG starts playing.
In fact, it is a promotional video in the face-to-face meeting.
Kang Yi watched the CG completely, and held the mouse until the initial page appeared.
"Another strategy game from Linmu Studio, let me see...single player, multiplayer, mod..."
Kang Yi glanced at the initial page, and was a little surprised when he saw the mod, this is also a game that supports creative workshops!
However, the game has just been released, and there must be no content in the creative workshop, so he was a little surprised, then looked away, and turned to look at the two options of single player and multiplayer.
After a moment of hesitation.
He chose single player mode.
Let's get familiar with the game first.
With this in mind, Kang Yi clicked on the single player mode, and under the single player mode, there is a secondary menu.
Including quick start, setting, script and teaching mode, etc.
With quick eyes and quick hands, he clicked a quick start.
"Eh!"
Watching the screen go dark, Kang Yi was a little anxious.
But it's too late.
The game started to load, and the magnetic narration sounded, introducing the civilization preset in the quick start...Wu Zhou.
"God's blessings be with you, Empress Wu Zetian, you are shrewd and beautiful, you rose from a humble concubine to a divine queen—your people are calling for you to rule them..."
Simultaneously.
On the loading page, in addition to the background story of the leader, there are also the characteristics of civilization, as well as the introduction of special arms and technologies.
【Strategy of War: The battle bonus of the general is increased by 15%, and its birth speed is increased by 50%】
【Zhuge Crossbowmen, Papermaking Workshop】
Kang Yi glanced at the loading page, the above was the introduction of the civilization leader, there is nothing to say about it, but below, he guessed, this should be the characteristic of Wu Zhou civilization.
And the feeling... I have to say.
Just loading the screen, the feeling of being difficult to use is overwhelming...
This thing, he has no idea what it is...
"Forget it, it's all turned on, let's try it first."
See that the map is loaded.
【Start Your Journey】appears.
Kang Yi hesitated for a while, but in the end he gave up the idea of turning it off, but was thinking about whether he could play a game through.
Click the Start Journey button.
Screen jumps.
The game screen comes out.
The first thing that catches the eye is the hexagonal grid, two teams, or two units.
And around the two units, there is a black fog of war...
Instead of the fog of war, the two initial units stand illuminated all around, with different terrain features.
There are forests, plains, rivers, and hillsides.
Try to imitate reality as much as possible.
Kang Yi came to a conclusion, and then a prompt popped up, asking him if he had any experience in strategy games.
Kang Yi thought about it, and chose not to.
And the moment he pressed No, another window popped up and began to teach him how to operate it.
Everything is in detail, and it is eloquent.
"Hmm... Pioneer, explore the world..."
While watching the teaching, Kang Yi built the first city on a hillside.
The city appeared, and the area symbolizing the territory spread, and a large area of grids belonged to the city. After the city was built, two very conspicuous icons also appeared.
One is an experimental bottle.
One is a hammer.
technology and production.
This kind of thing doesn't need to be taught by games, Kang Yi knows what it is just by looking at the icon.
"Ceramics, animal husbandry, archery, mining... What the hell, the technology tree is so long? Ancient times, classical times, medieval times... the information age?"
Kang Yi suddenly realized something was wrong... The time span of this thing is really the same as the promotional video, the time span is ridiculously large!
Today...you should be able to play it through, right?
Kang Yi was suddenly worried, he scratched his head, thinking that he only started, and shook his head.
Forget it, let's talk after playing.
He took a closer look at the difference in early technology, and then chose archery.
Then during the construction, facing the choice of soldiers, scouts, workers, and monuments, Kang Yi fell into a tangle again.
Hmm... since I chose archery.
Let's explode a wave of soldiers first!
After hesitating for a moment, Kang Yi used his experience in playing "Warcraft" to choose to produce fighters.
At last.
He controlled another group of initial units, warriors, and began to explore the fog of war according to the game teaching.
After everything is done.
The [Next Round] icon lights up.
Kang Yi moved the mouse and clicked.
Round jump.
He also took advantage of this time to look at the information on the top information bar of the game.
Technology, money, trade, satisfaction, golden age, social policy, religion...
Kang Yi's head grew bigger and bigger.
Although he probably vaguely knew what it was all about, but because he had just started the game, the specific function was not very clear, so he simply ignored it.
And this time.
The bout came back to him.
Playing against AI, the round jump is unexpectedly fast.
"You're not very good at computers, are you?"
Kang Yi was a little worried when he saw the speed so fast.
Players are like this, the computer is too strong, no, the frustration is too strong.
The computer is too weak, that won't work either!No sense of accomplishment!
It's quite...
But now that the game has just started, everything is not clear, Kang Yi worried for a while, then put it down, turned around and continued to operate.
However, in the second round, he didn't seem to be able to operate anything. It took 8 rounds to build a warrior, and 12 rounds to research archery.
So these can't be moved, they can only be left. The only thing he can control is the warrior who goes to explore the map.
He controlled the warrior, walked a few grids forward again, found out a small part of the area, and clicked the next round.
"No wonder the players are disappointed... This game mode is really not suitable for now."
Kang Yi looked at the screen and frowned slightly. This kind of game that lasted for dozens of rounds without anything to do was really boring.
And the operation is too simple, RTS still needs real-time control, what's the point?next round?
Kang Yi became a little pessimistic about the future of this game, and his mood also became heavy.
but.
Pessimism is pessimism.
The game is still to be played.
Scientific research and construction cannot be moved. Every round, Kang Yi controls the initial warrior unit to explore the map.
As the number of rounds progresses.
More and more landscapes appeared in his sight.
Lakes, oases, swamps, even frozen ground.
During this period, he also met his first AI opponent, South Korea.
When they see their fighters, the dialogue window will come out automatically.
Kang Yi can trade with opponents, declare war and set up embassies, and there are many other ways to play that will be released later.
"Will you pay back every round when you set up an embassy?"
Kang Yi saw the other party's request, smiled, then clicked to accept, and continued to explore the picture.
then.
The city-state system and other opponents also appeared one by one.
He just controlled the warriors like this, and skipped more than ten rounds until the archery was researched.
He just got busy again.
Because he has to decide the direction of the next technology research, choose what unit to build next, and decide on social policies.
Yes, social policy!
There are currently four, namely the traditional policy, the liberal policy, the honor policy, the piety policy...
Well, even ideology.
"Crazy."
Although Kang Yi felt that the gameplay of this game was a bit monotonous and the operation was too simple.
But he has to admit that Linmu Studio is really serious about making this game, it's too detailed!
The advantages of the turn-based system also emerged at this time.
He can slowly consider the policy and the next direction...
Kang Yi carefully looked at all the policies of the game, and then chose Glory, because it seemed that it was born for fighting.
Next, he began researching what the city should build next.
After the bow and arrow technology is completed.
He can now produce archers, but when he opened the construction system, what instantly caught Kang Yi's attention was not the new type of archers, but a miracle...
[Temple of Artemis: +10% food for all cities, +15% productivity for building remote units]
This miracle, just look at the description!
But the number of rounds required for this thing is also heavyweight, 37 rounds!
A group of archers only has 8 rounds!
but……
do not care!
This looks like a good thing, let’s talk about it after it’s built!
Kang Yi directly clicked Miracle.
Start building!
then.
Game continues.
Before he knew it, as the game progressed, more elements began to appear before Kang Yi's eyes...
Ancient ruins, barbarians, religious pantheons, technological values, cultural values, happiness index, different terrains, different resources, and different city-states.
Dazzled.
The boring feeling at the beginning is slowly fading away.
An expression of interest began to appear on Kang Yi's face, and his body leaned forward slightly, performing various operations with great interest.
soon.
Kang Yi got a little confused.
He suddenly discovered that the most interesting part of this game is always the next round...
Because of the civilization game, the civilization strategic deployment controlled by the player is quantified and subdivided into visible and predictable time periods.
For example, if there are still a few rounds, the new technology will be successfully researched, and if the new technology is successfully researched, different terrains can be developed, new miracles can be built, and new arms can be built...
For example, there are still a few rounds before a new miracle will be built, food will increase, productivity will increase, and things will be built faster.
For another example, policy points will be accumulated every round, and when the specified number is reached, new policies can be promulgated, and he can decide what policies the civilization should adopt next that are beneficial to the current situation.
At once……
I feel that the process of history can be mastered at any time, and there will be new gains in every round.
Then, people can't help but look forward to the next round...
Repeatedly.
The rhythm is very good.
soon.
Kang Yi started to pull the chair.
He leaned back against the table, leaning forward even more.
"Fuck, it's none of your business if I expand the territory, you're angry with a hammer!"
"Classic era!? So fast?"
"Why is the population stagnant..."
"Why is the satisfaction level -1..."
"Those rascals!"
"I need truffles... Where can I get truffles here? Let me check."
"Shut up!! I'm going to build a new city here!"
"You wait, I will explode and bulldoze you later, and the territory has expanded to the border of our country!"
"Great scientist?"
"You, this is the Middle Ages? Tsk, this is more than a miracle, it shouldn't be built! It feels like a waste of more than 30 rounds!"
"..."
As more and more cities are built, the land is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more places that need to be considered, and the technology is becoming more and more complicated, and various new systems are unveiled one by one.
Kang Yi's initial sense of boredom has completely disappeared.
On the contrary... the more you play, the better your brain becomes.
……
at the same time.
Pengcheng.
a certain neighborhood.
After Feng Kangshun finished his lunch, he logged into the Vaporwave game platform as usual, ready to start a pleasant weekend game time!
He is a well-known social butterfly on the forum, with many friends.
So while thinking about what to play first, he habitually opened the friend list, planning to find a few people to play with.
Then, he was taken aback.
[Fuyou is playing "Civilization", Aikang is playing "Civilization", Nan Hansi is playing "Civilization", Qingfeng is playing "Civilization", Qingyu is playing "Civilization"...]
His top friends are all playing civilization!
"The games of Linmu Studio are really eye-catching..."
Feng Kangshun came back to his senses and shook his head lightly. In fact, this is considered normal.
Every time Linmu Studio releases a new game, such a grand occasion will appear on his friends list... After all, their games are really good.
But this time he was not interested, and at the same time he felt that others should not be interested in turn-based strategy games. There were so many people playing at the same time, which was really beyond his expectations.
"never mind."
Feng Kangshun took a look, scrolled down, and finally found a few friends who hadn't played "Civilization". He sent a message to these friends, and after calling for friends, they started a pleasant journey of "Breakout" together. .
He is indeed not interested in strategy games like "Civilization", or turn-based strategy games.
So... let them play theirs, let them play their own!
three hours later.
Feng Kangshun was a little tired after playing "Breakout" for so long. He turned off "Breakout" and was going to lie down for a while and go to switch to find some casual games to relax.
Before leaving, he glanced at his friend list again.
Those few people are still playing "Civilization".
"Aren't you tired yet?"
Feng Kangshun smiled, made a joke, rubbed his neck and left the computer.
Then, another three hours later.
Feng Kangshun put down the switch, and while waiting for the takeaway, he sat down in front of the computer again and turned on the Vaporwave game platform again.
The friend list pops up again.
And those few people are still playing "Civilization"...
"Is it really... so fun?"
Feng Kangshun was stunned again, then shook his head helplessly. He didn't understand, so he stopped reading and opened "Breakout" on his own.
Next.
Eat, play games, take a bath, and play casual games on the switch.
This set of procedures goes down.
It is already twelve o'clock.
Time flies so fast.
Feng Kangshun stretched his waist, put down the switch again, thinking about whether to have a late-night snack, and at the same time clicked on the friend list again to take a look.
