Game Design: It’s very simple for you to fill in?

Chapter 726 Humans are always greedy!
Although fans don’t care about the content posted by these marketing accounts, who doesn’t understand Mengya?
Will you change your opinion just by listening to one or two marketing accounts?
So far, Mengya has demonstrated countless ways to play games. It can be said that he seems to be able to think of everything that players can think of.

"I think Detroit has no bad points. This movie-style game is perfect." Yinzi approves of the game, "but personally, I prefer some action or competitive games."

He licked his lips as he thought about it. The stimulation brought by that kind of action game was the most direct and enjoyable in terms of senses.

This is a completely different feeling from casual games or movie-style games.

Just like roller coasters and bumper cars, they are both fun to ride, but they bring different emotions to people.

“I advise these marketing accounts not to take clips out of context from my live broadcast to attract attention, otherwise I will send a lawyer’s letter of warning.” He controlled the character in his hand and licked his lips.

"To be honest, I feel like my heart hasn't been beating so hard for a long time. I just want something exciting right now."

Seeing him speak like this, the barrage was immediately shocked.
'No, I don't want to play horror games at all!'

'If you spend one minute buying a game, you will never be able to complete it in your lifetime.'

'It's quite helpless sometimes.'

'Super coward! Online...'

"I want to pursue excitement, but horror games are something that can be slow."

……

Seeing that the barrage began to frantically reject horror games, Yinzi shuddered all over and shuddered.

"No, I'm definitely not talking about horror games."

He felt that there was a big problem with his idea. He wanted excitement, but he didn't want traditional horror.

"But we're just talking casually. I'll play whatever Lao Zei makes." Yinzi waved his hand. To this day, he no longer has any intention of interfering with Lao Zei's game making.

In the past, he felt that what game designers need to pay most attention to is the players’ ideas. When it comes to games, game design manufacturers cannot make games without considering the players’ ideas.

If he had to use a metaphor to describe the relationship between players and game manufacturers, he felt that using water and boats would be more appropriate.

The game is the boat and the players are the water.

Water can capsize a boat, but it can also carry it.

In this metaphor, Sprout Games is always a small boat tossing on the stormy sea.

Whether it is the captain or the helmsman, they always carry out the most accurate instructions.

As long as they don't make mistakes, no matter how rough the waves are, they will never sink in the storm.

The plot of the game had also entered a tense stage. Just as he was thinking about how to survive, a special reminder sound suddenly popped up from his phone.

[New game preview, "Dead by Daylight", Momentum will bring you a new asymmetric competitive gameplay! "Death is not an escape", death is not a relief, everything here is like a dream!
Escape, then be hunted down again, be killed or escape again, endless cycle!
Game launch countdown, 7 days! 】

Seeing the prompt pop up in his hand, Yinzi immediately stopped the game. He was glad that he was playing a single-player game so that he would not be delayed in gaining control of the information due to the game process.

"Ah? Dead by Daylight?" Yinzi was dumbfounded. What was this thing?

He casually opened the link, and what he saw was a dark and strange picture.

The first people in the picture are four terrified humans, holding some seemingly ordinary items in their hands, such as a medical kit or a flashlight.

It looks ordinary, but everyone knows that the items on the cover are definitely props that can be used.

Behind these four humans is a forest shrouded in mist. The grayish-white mist makes it difficult to see more of the scene.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the monster with a hideous grin behind these four humans.

Compared to the weapons in the hands of humans that had no fighting power at all, these monsters had long and sharp claws and daggers covered in blood and rust;

There seemed to be some flesh and blood still on the broken saw in the grinning monster's hand.

Black crows fluttered into the air behind him, as if telling of the silence and horror of this place.

"What does asymmetric game mean?" Yinzi blinked.

"It's not humans fighting against these demons, right? Are the weapons in humans' hands lethal?" He frowned. Looking at the introduction, it seems more like a game of pursuers and escapees.

just,

Yinzi frowned and pondered for a moment.
"Is this a one-sided massacre? It looks like a cat-and-mouse game. It would be too boring if you just get killed."

I can only say that he is worthy of being a big anchor. He was able to give a general analysis of the game just by relying on a cover picture.

While he was speaking, there was also discussion in the barrage, and the players were also confused about this.

This is an obviously one-sided game, so are you sure you can survive if you choose the human side?

"That shouldn't be the case. In the old thief's game, balance is the most important thing. Humans can always find a weapon to kill him, right?"

"Didn't the introduction say that? It's just about chasing and escaping."

"If that's the case, will anyone play on the human side?"

'Hide and seek? Cat and mouse? What's the fun of this game?'

"Asymmetric game, does it mean the combat power is asymmetric?"

……

As soon as the game was announced, there was a huge upsurge of discussion online.

Everyone can understand symmetrical games. League of Legends is a 5V5 symmetrical competitive game.

"I don't understand, and I still can't figure it out." Looking at the heated discussions among netizens, Yinzi scratched the back of his head.

At this moment, he felt like he was back to the time when he first met the old thief.
He had no idea what the old thief was thinking or what the game would probably do.

Looking at the introduction and cover, I can't guess anything about the designer's ideas.

Now he seemed to be able to see the old thief standing on the top of the Sprout Building, looking at everyone with a mocking look on his face, and saying, "Guess? Why don't you guess? Who do you think has fallen from grace?"

Seeing his appearance, the commentators were immediately amused.
"Don't teach me, the old thief has his own ideas."

'No man, why does this game look a bit scary?'

"What's so scary about it? The monsters at the back look a little more ferocious, but that's probably for the sake of the game."

'Honestly, the boss is such a loser. I've been playing the old thief game for so many years, but I still can't guess what the old thief is thinking.'

"Don't say the boss can't guess it, I can't guess it either. Every time someone says that the old thief has fallen from the altar, the old thief will come up with something new."

'Real-time online, right? Monitor our players at all times.'

……

When Yinzi saw someone calling him a waste, he faced the camera, first extending his left cheek, and then quickly extending his right cheek.

"Great, great! Give me some more."

This look of stretching the left cheek and then the right cheek immediately silenced everyone in the live broadcast room.

'Who taught you to be so mean?'

"I don't even scold him, I know he will be really happy."

'This is the first time I've seen a host who was hit on the left cheek and then turned his right cheek over.'

'Actually, I'm looking forward to this new game from Lao Zei. I want to see what asymmetric games mean.'

……

Not only are outsiders puzzled, but even people within Mengya are also very confused about the "asymmetric competitive" type of game.

"You, go and grab Manager Zhou so I can ask him what asymmetric competition means." Inside the Sprout Studio, several game project department managers gathered together.

One of them casually patted an employee at a workstation on one side and gave him an instruction.

No one is curious about other people's games because they think the ones they are making are the best.

In their opinion, the only thing that’s interesting about other people’s games is their stories. But aren’t the stories of their own games not interesting too?
But now that this asymmetric competitive game has come out, everyone is shocked.

Normally, everyone is laughing in meetings, and everyone is confident in their games, but you are not a decent guy!
Why don’t you tell everyone when you create a new category of game?
The young man who was called turned around and looked at the boss behind him. He didn't have time to continue the work in his hands.

"Ah? The one in charge of the ceremony? Are you talking about me?" He pointed at the tip of his nose, his clear eyes full of innocence.

"Yeah, run faster."

The young man who was named felt a pang in his heart.

How did I end up in this situation? !
Just as I turned around to refuse, I saw several supervisors sitting at the table and talking in low voices.

He stood up from his seat. His colleagues around him did not look at him strangely, but were a little curious about what asymmetric competition was.

"Brother, is there any rope in the warehouse?" He looked at his colleague next to him.

"Really? What do you need the rope for?" My colleague was a little surprised. It's just calling a person, is it that complicated?
"Catch Manager Zhou."

"Brother, calm down. That's not what you meant." The colleague who was questioned was completely stunned.

Don’t you have any emotional intelligence at all?

"You just need to go to Manager Zhou's department and tell him, 'Manager Zhou, Manager Wang and his team are looking for you. They are waiting for you in the conference room.' That's all!"

He stared at his colleague, feeling somewhat ashamed.

He didn't know where Mengya found this genius. He had very little common sense and very low emotional intelligence, but his abilities were outstanding.

He didn't even know how this person passed the interview.

But I also admire Mengya, who is very pure to a certain extent and can tolerate many bad shortcomings of some workers.

Seeing that his colleague still looked unconvinced, he sighed.

"Okay, I'll go with you." He sighed and stopped his work.

Even when Manager Zhou was called over, the man still looked at his colleague in confusion and muttered quietly, "There's really no need to arrest him. He came here on his own. He's quite conscientious."

"……Why."

He sighed leisurely, but didn't mind.

He believed that even if this person really tied Manager Zhou up with a rope, Manager Zhou would not be angry.

Because there are really too many weirdos like Mengya.

They are just like those nerds who have only known how to study since childhood, have low emotional intelligence and do not understand the ways of the world. Of course, these people also have advantages, such as they are very good at studying.

Some people say that if these people were to work in other companies, they would have difficulty gaining a foothold in this ruthless society.

But there is no such thing at Mengya. Mengya does not need connections to get promoted. Here everything is based on strength.

But the old thief did take measures to deal with this. As someone who is well versed in the ways of the world, he took measures to help the young man.

Everyone will be paired with a partner to help solve small problems from time to time.

There will also be a little mutual aid fund in the salary for this budding project.

Humans grow very quickly, and many events can be understood after just one experience.

Manager Zhou was called to the conference room, avoiding the countless eyes staring at him, "No, it's just an asymmetric competitive game, why do you care so much?"

These gazes made him feel like he was being eaten alive.

"Then tell us, what is your asymmetric competition?"

"A strong team against a weak team?"

"This is simply impossible. In competitive games, balance and fairness are always the foundation of Lao Zei's game making."

……

“Yes and no. It’s the strong beating the weak, but humans are not without the ability to fight back.” Manager Zhou pulled a chair and sat down.

“非对称竞技的话，大概讲的是不是你们认知中的5V5或者4V4，而是1V4。”

"The two sides in the game each have specific strengths and weaknesses: the human side really doesn't have any killer moves, and the ghost side we can call them butchers."

“The Butcher is a powerful monster played solo in first-person. They have keen senses, brutal weapons, and unique powers to help them find, hunt, attack, capture, and sacrifice Survivors.”

"The survivors travel in groups of four. Regardless of whether they cooperate or not, they have only one goal: to survive."

“Although very weak, the survivors can use their smaller size to quickly climb through windows, jump over wooden boards or find hiding places. The survivors will play the game from a third-person perspective, so they have an advantage in judging the surrounding situation.”

“When playing as a survivor, the player needs to avoid the killer’s pursuit while repairing the generator to open the escape door and escape.”

“Chasing a Survivor for too long will allow other Survivors to quickly repair the generator, making it easier for the Survivor to escape, so this requires the Killer to have a big picture view of the battle.”

After hearing his words, everyone frowned. “But if the butcher wants to chase, his movement speed will definitely be higher than that of the survivor.”

"In this duel, the survivors should still be at a disadvantage."

After hearing everyone's analysis, Manager Zhou nodded and said, "That's true, because the survivors have no ability to resist, but each person can be attacked twice before being knocked down. After being knocked down, they will be hooked by the butcher, but teammates can also save them."

"But the survivors don't necessarily have to escape. What if they can escape the ghosts by their own movement?"

"As long as you delay a little bit, repair it and click to open the escape door, you can win the game." Manager Zhou raised his lips with a faint smile.

"In this case, it seems that the butcher is at a disadvantage again. He can only catch one person in a game, right?"

"That's true, but the old thief said that humans are always greedy."
