Genius Game Planning

Chapter 254 Me too

On a game forum, a "senior player" expressed some opinions on this game:
Don't Starve: A Game of Endless Possibilities

"Two months ago, at the Peacock press conference, I saw the game "Famine" as a "sandbox game" gimmick, and I was a little sniffy at the time. The concept of "sandbox" was born out of "sandbox", but It has a completely different concept from sandbox games.

"When we were young, we must have seen sand piles next to construction sites, and then played with sand. When playing with sand, we would dig holes, use sand and stones to build houses, and some conditions would bring some grass and branches. , enjoy the fun of creation. Later, this was extended to the sandbox.”

"The most important thing about sandbox games is creation and destruction. The biggest difference between the RPG games we play most of the time and sandbox games is that in RPG games, unless there are specially set buildings, plants, terrain, etc. It can be modified, and most of the rest of the game content cannot be modified. But sandbox games are different, they allow players to destroy and create at will."

"So at the beginning, when Abel, that is, the fat man at the press conference, said that this is a sandbox game, I didn't believe it. After all, this concept has been proposed for a long time, but there is no game manufacturer at all. It can really be done. When Abel mentioned Brother Liu Nengneng’s name, I hesitated a little, but I still didn’t believe it.”

“It wasn’t until a week ago, when I actually started playing the game, that I realized how much of a surprise Neng and Abel had brought us.”

"It's true that Don't Starve can't do complete destruction, such as terrain, which is a pity, but it's also reasonable... When we play with sand, we don't want to destroy the concrete under the sand. But Yossi There are infinite creative ways to play in it, but it really surprises people.”

"Here you can start with a small branch, and then make axes, bows and arrows, torches, bonfires, huts, raise various animals, plant trees, grow various crops, and make various equipment for yourself. Although There are many things that can be done, but actually in the early stage, because of the threat of death, you have to follow some preset paths to play the game.”

"Different from ordinary games, this game does not have any novice guides at all—of course, if one day you are really dropped into an unknown world, there will definitely be no novice guides telling you what to do in this game. How to live in the world. All you need to do is just try to survive."

"I believe that what Fat Abel said at the press conference that players can play all kinds of content in the game without hindrance is a joke. After all, I think any player who is immersed in this game world is already dead. It was only after countless times that I managed to sum up some experience.”

"Many players complain that this game has no guidance, and the official has not released any strategy or information. I think this approach is actually more interesting, isn't it? Putting aside all external auxiliary conditions, you must immerse yourself in the game, slowly Only by exploring slowly and getting to know the world slowly can we know how to play the game "Famine".

"The official did not release a guide. I think the more important reason is that the official did not give us a preset framework for us to experience the game along this framework, but it means that we can play at will in our own way. Without presuppositions, there are infinite possibilities. Of course, this is just my personal understanding.”

"As for the so-called official information, it is also based on the same reason. If you encounter a BOSS, check the guide how to fight it, what weapon is the most efficient, and whether the BOSS has a weakness, and then follow the instructions on the information to fight the BOSS , and win. That's the experience.

But if you figure out your own style of play and win in the end, your sense of accomplishment will increase exponentially.I have seen that many hungry friends have released some monster information and fighting methods at night, but I firmly believe that at the beginning of the design, these BOSSs have many fighting methods, except for the most basic ones. In addition to this kind of play, there must be more interesting ways of playing.I think so. If Brother Neng reads this article, maybe you can give me a response to prove this idea of ​​mine? "

"I said in the title of the article, "Famine" is a game with infinite possibilities. I came to the conclusion after I carefully studied the mechanism of this game. The map is randomly generated, so are the terrain, and so are the monsters. Every restart of the game after death is a completely different experience. Currently, seven different characters have been released, and I have unlocked the third character. I have tried these three characters for a while, and each It’s a different experience.”

"As I said above, in the game, you can do most of the things you want to do, just like we played with mud when we were young. You can use mud to build houses, you can make all kinds of cars and cannons, you can make Long swords and towers, you can also use things made of mud to play role-playing games with other friends...the possibilities are endless, it just depends on how you play this game."

“I have to say that Don’t Starve is the best game I’ve played in the past five or six years. Of course, it also has a little disadvantage, for example, it’s too lonely. If possible, I hope I can It’s more interesting to play this game with my girlfriend, and when I have a child, maybe I can play with my child.”

The article is full of one or two thousand words, and the beautiful words are beyond words.However, it is different from the crazy debates in other games, this game has almost won the love of the vast majority of players, and they have left messages:

"Speak my heart!"

"Me too!"

"Support! Brother Neng is awesome!"

The post quickly became a hot search, and it was circulated on various forums and websites. Even Liu Neng's Weibo and public homepage were given to Aite by many people, asking him to express his opinion. Regarding the author in the article A few questions raised, a little answer.

Even if Liu Neng didn't want to pay attention to this issue, it was impossible, so he simply forwarded the article on the public homepage, and then said: "Three things: the first thing this player said is right, every boss and monster has no fixed How to play, or at least gave two or more solutions; second, the data station did not do it, mainly because it was busy, if you believe this reason; third, there is a plan to develop an online version, but it will not be fast in the short term I hope the update can be done after the players have thoroughly grasped the current game.”
