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

Chapter 727 Welcome to Canada!
After some explanation, several project managers within Mengya had a general idea of ​​the game.

Some people believe that humans will win, while others believe that the butcher's side has a higher chance of winning.

It is difficult to draw conclusions through simple discussion, and all we can do next is wait for the game to be launched.

The game not only has a winner and a loser, but also an ending that no other competitive game has: a draw.

There are four humans and a butcher on the field. The winner is determined by three or more humans escaping.

The butcher wins if he kills three or more.

If two humans escape and the butcher captures two, the game is a draw.

The project managers of Mengya also did not understand the significance of the tie. In their opinion, if the number of survivors was not even, making it an odd number would stimulate the players' desire to win and make the game more tense and exciting.

But even Manager Zhou did not give everyone an answer to this question, because he thought the same thing: Aren’t odd numbers good?
It’s either win or lose!

Either you win or you lose! This is the only way to achieve the purpose of competitive games.

But Lao Zei still insisted on adding a draw mode of play.

When they were doing internal testing, perhaps there were too few testers and they were unable to develop the gameplay.

I also don't quite understand how to play a draw.
But that's how games are, everyone can play it in their own way.

They knew the relevant playing methods, but did not leak any information to anyone. Knowing it among themselves is one thing, and announcing it to the public is another. Everyone still understands the basic rules.

Yinzi looked at the poster and felt uneasy.

"By the way, this cover does look a bit like a horror game."

"Is it the same type as Escape? A chase?"

After thinking about it, he rejected this idea, because the word "competition" already explains everything, and both sides will play back and forth.

The barrage of comments couldn't calm down at this time. Every time a new game category emerged, it would make everyone uneasy.

"The old thief has calculated the time just right. After I experience all the plots of Detroit, I will be able to play the new game almost as well."

'My mother asked me what I was doing hiding in my room every day, and asked me why I didn't go out to play. She told me not to stay at home and go out to socialize and play with friends.'

'From the time I started playing Moegi games until now, my mom has always thought I was socially anxious, but in fact I can call out the entire family of the people on the other side of the game.'

'Since I started playing Lao Zei's game, I no longer like to go out to play cards. My wife says I have changed and become more family-oriented.'

'Games are truly the most cost-effective form of entertainment.'

……

Yinzi continued the game in his hand. Under his control, Kara, Alice and others pretended to be dead and escaped.

Connor and Marcus also triggered a bomb under the Jericho freighter and jumped off the ship to escape.

After escaping, all the bionic people came to another gathering place. Most of the bionic people here had removed the rings on their foreheads and wore ordinary people's clothes. They looked no different from ordinary people.

The situation is now very critical. Kara and Alice need to catch the last bus to cross the border.

Before leaving, she looked at Marcus with indescribable emotions in her eyes.

But she only had one sentence, a final wish.

"Marcus...save our people."

In the three lines, players will control different characters at different stages, and experience the plots and experiences of three people. Every time the characters meet and talk, it is like a conversation across time and space.

In the Marcus line, this game is more like a strategy game + parkour game + action game, while in the Connor line it is another kind of gaming experience, which becomes puzzle + development.

However, in the Kara line, the game becomes horror and thriller.

The three protagonists have different experiences in this huge Detroit, but they are intertwined and converge on the same timeline.

The butterfly's wings flutter slowly, just like the player's choice, which can inadvertently affect the development of the game's plot.

This was the first time that everyone understood the concept of parallel worlds so thoroughly.

All this will be over in a few hours. In a few hours, either these bionic people will change the world, or humans will completely destroy them.

This struggle is finally coming to an end.

Here, Connor said to Marcus,
"There are thousands of androids in the Mokong Life Assembly Plant. If we can successfully awaken them, they may be able to help our plan."

He wanted to infiltrate there.

If you fail, you will be killed.

But now only Connor can enter because those people believe in him.

"Statistically speaking, there is almost no chance of success, but it still has the potential to happen."

After hearing this, some audience members shed tears.

The androids are still mechanical. They cannot express any emotional words, but only use numerical probabilities to count the events that occurred.

But if this happens to humans, it can be translated as.

'Even if it means death, I am willing to give it a try.'

At that moment, the emotion was fully materialized in Connor. Connor was undoubtedly the best and most capable among them.

He is also the most rational bionic man, and his emotions are the most difficult to be shaken.

You should know that when players controlled Connor to carry out mission activities before, there would be a number representing the success rate almost every time.

If it is low, then find a way to increase it.

He has the best performance, so he will solve the problem in the best way.

When he said that there was almost no probability but he was willing to give it a try, everyone knew that Connor had completed his evolution.

In this gathering place where only a little sunlight can penetrate, I believe that Marcus's bionic people have gathered here, hiding their bodies in the darkness and listening to Marcus speak.

At this very moment, many of their compatriots have been sent to be scrapped.

Now, it is indeed time to make a decision.

Is it revolution or resistance?

Should we put pressure on the android recycling camp in a peaceful manner, or launch an attack on the recycling camp to liberate the androids?

Marcus stood in front of the stage. As the leader of this group of abnormal androids, he needed to make a decision.

The android in the dark stood up and listened to the righteous speech coming out of his mouth.

"Brothers, this is not my place of honor." Yinzi felt the mission he was carrying. "It is the androids who are really desperate in this struggle."

"Resistance leads to death, while negotiation seems to give us a chance to gain freedom."

"Instead of dying, it is better to fight towards hope." When he first started playing the game, he thought he was an iron-blooded person, but when so many bionic people just wanted to live a stable life like humans, he knew that he should take another path.

"Don't be influenced by me, just go whichever way you want. When playing this game, the most important thing you need to be firm in is your original intention."

All androids have only one wish, and that is freedom.

Violence is not the only means of solving problems.

Marcus made a very sarcastic remark here, "If they still have humanity, they will listen to us."

The word "human nature" was actually used by the bionic man to describe humans.

The struggle between bionic people and humans intensified. Televisions and radios on the roadside kept broadcasting news about the city. Flames sprayed from gun muzzles burned throughout the city. The snow was littered with the corpses of bionic people, and blue blood dyed the white snow surface an icy blue.

Cara still chose to leave. Unlike Marcus and others who wanted to fight, what she wanted was to live a free and peaceful life with Alice, like a real family.

They dodged carefully along the way, but still saw Luther being pinned down by the soldiers.

He fell to his knees with his head in his hands, the soldier's gun pointed at his forehead.

The two stopped and hid behind the car, looking at Luther in front of them. Although it was dangerous, they decided to find a way to save him.

Just like the character relationship hints given in previous games, Luther became a family member a long time ago.

"Luther is a family member." Yinzi looked around and saw only a brick not far away from him.

He quietly went over to pick it up, and then struck the soldier who had his back to him.

There is no doubt about the power of bionic people. Even if it is a domestic robot, the strength in its hands is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In just a moment, the soldier with his back to the enemy fell down with his head tilted.

When Luther saw Cara and saw her coming to save him, he was extremely excited.

Because he knew better than anyone that Kara wanted to live freely with Alice, and no one could stop her from achieving her goal.

But now, she was actually getting involved in danger for her own sake.

This means that she really treats herself as a family member.

Because Marcus chose peace, thousands of androids are currently marching in the streets.

Marcus, as the leader of the androids, walked in front.

Kara and the other two were preparing to leave on the last bus, but the last bus was only open to people with tickets.

Here, the three met a family of three and picked up each other's tickets.

If you want to be a human being, the first lesson you need to learn is what love is, and the second lesson is what cruelty is.

The three fallen tickets solved their urgent problem, but soon the owners of the tickets were found. The couple was holding a baby in their arms. They wanted to take the child away from here, away from this dangerous place, Detroit.

"Have you seen a blue envelope? It contains my ticket." The baby's mother's voice was painful and anxious. She did not doubt Kara, but just asked them anxiously if they had seen it.

Looking at the options that pop up in front of you, [Return the ticket] [Leave the ticket]

After a moment of surprise, Yinzi felt that this option was reasonable.

He smiled bitterly, "They are human beings. If I don't pay back the ticket, they won't die. But if I pay it back, I will most likely die."

In the game, he puts himself in the shoes of a cyborg and hopes to get a perfect ending.

Without hesitation, he chose to stay.

Holding Alice's hand tightly, she looked at the couple helplessly and shook her head.

Take Luther to the soldiers at the checkpoint, hand over the tickets, and they can take the last bus to Canada.

The couple behind me began to blame each other, felt annoyed, and started to worry.

In response, Yinzi simply quickened his pace and walked towards the checkpoint.

The ticket in my hand is like a hot potato. The longer I hold it, the more painful it becomes.

The barrage also sighed,

'In the game, I will help the androids, but in reality, I will choose to hurt them.'

"Everyone's choice is correct. The so-called kindness is only for us who play the game, not for the so-called bionic people in the game."

'This game is too amazing. Those who have made rapid progress have already completed it once. A rough calculation shows that there are more than a hundred endings.'

'I didn't expect that the boss would end up with a perfect ending by accident.'

'You can only play this game once. The result of the first play is your true ending. The results after that are what you long for.'

……

Yinzi controlled the game and watched Kara holding Alice's hand and walking down the station with Luther.

He has come to the present step by step, and learned from the barrage that his current option is the perfect option that everyone yearns for.

Can passing this level lead to freedom?
Outside the station is the entry inspection to Canada. Several long straight lines also represent that countless people want to leave Detroit, leave this place of right and wrong, and go to a free and peaceful place.

At the end of the line, there is an electronic blackboard.

The flowing text above shows that bionic people are rejected, and body temperature checks will be carried out upon entry.

Because these bionic people have no body temperature.

Looking at the heavily guarded soldiers and the staff members checking one by one at the window, Kara was filled with despair.

She spent so much effort just to go to Canada and enjoy the freedom she dreamed of.

Marcus's struggle for freedom was still being played on the wall of the checkpoint. They were surrounded and offered no resistance, suffering heavy casualties.

Yinzi lined up and walked forward, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The team soon reached them, and several options suddenly popped up on the game screen.

sacrifice.

Sacrifice himself, or sacrifice Luther, or sacrifice Jerry, the android who was rescued with Luther before.

Also, no sacrifice.

Although Jerry has already said that he is willing to do anything for her and Alice as a way of repaying his previous kindness.

Yinzi didn't look at the barrage, the option progress bar slid quickly, and he directly chose not to sacrifice.

At this point, sacrificing someone for freedom is not what he wants. He thinks the freedom that Kara longs for is for everyone to live together, rather than giving up on others to survive.

The team continued to move forward, and soon it was the turn of three people.

The staff at the counter asked them to show their ID, and she handed over the fake ID she had previously obtained.

The moment the guy at the counter picked up the temperature gun and scanned the three people, Kara couldn't help but pray,
"Please, we just want to be free."

The red light of the thermometer gun was already flashing on the three people, and the expected results were already displayed on the other end of the thermometer gun.

The staff member simply looked up at Marcus who was protesting peacefully. He did not resist or hurt anyone, but simply expressed his desire for peace over and over again.

Then he turned his head and looked at Kara and the other two.

At this moment, fans who already knew the ending were already screaming words in the barrage.

"The struggle I put in before finally paid off."

'I said, humans are not bad!'

"If we remain committed to peace, public opinion will turn to support the freedom of androids."

'It is said that Detroit has hundreds of endings, but in my opinion, Detroit has only one ending, and the other endings go against its original intention.'

'This is more cyberpunk than 2077! '

'Welcome to Canada!'

'Welcome to Canada!'

……

The staff at the window did not inform the soldier next to him of the test results. He gently put down the thermometer in his hand, as if he had completed his normal work.

He handed back the three people's ID cards, with a slight smile on his face.

“Welcome to Canada.”
