Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

【Choose a destination】

[Location details:——]

[Starting asteroid: Earth-like star (a place with a balanced variety of resources)]

[Introduction: Earth-like planets meet all the needs for replicant survival and, unsurprisingly, this is an ideal location for the first attempt to establish a colony]

[Probability of survival: ideal]

In addition to [Earth-like Planet], there are also maps such as [Ocean Planet], [Frost Planet], and [Emerald Star]. There are a total of nine maps to choose from in the original version.

Not only are the environments different, the types of resources are different, but even the difficulty is different.

But as the old saying goes -

Listen to others and eat enough.

The game introduction clearly tells you that Earth-like Planet is suitable for novices.

Liuliu naturally follows the good and follows the flow...

After all, so many people are watching!

After clicking OK, as the reading ends, a prompt pops up——

[Choose three clones and get ready to start]

【Lindsay】

【interest--】

[Cooking: +1 Cooking]

[Organization: +1 strength]

[Supply: +1 Strength]

[Characteristic——]

[No culture: Improves the decoration morale bonus and cannot perform decoration tasks]

[Nervous fragility: unable to perform medical tasks]

[Stress response: crying]

[Joyful reaction: Posting Bomberman]

[Gene trait: None]

[Introduction: Lindsay is a charming woman, as long as you don't mess with her friends]

It seems that the clone selected at the beginning of the game is the initial population of the base.

Liuliu was hesitant. After all, there were too many options, and the character introductions were different from most games on the market. This step must be done carefully.

Liuliu kept refreshing the clones and discovered a problem. Cooking, mining, and research were often among the interests of the clones.

Combined with Hypoxia, it is a space survival simulation and construction game. In order to maintain stability, Liuliu chose three clones to each control a talent.

Finally, three clones were finalized——

【Lindsay】

【Hassan】

【Niles】

Next comes the final step, naming the colony.

Liuliu looked around and found a group of anchors with expectant eyes, smiled, and named——

【Half of the Country】

When the fans in the live broadcast room saw this, they made crazy complaints——

"Don't crowd around Liuliu, get on the numbers too!"

"Yeah, why are you watching? It's not difficult for you guys to look at the game options. I suspect the old thief is lying to you."

"Upstairs, your words are so poor, hahahaha!"

All the anchors saw the barrage and ignored it.

nonsense!

The game Hypoxia has just been released. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if you don’t understand how to play it?

Let Liuliu have an idea of ​​hypoxia first, so that he won't be blind.

As the game screen lights up, next to a portal in an underground cave, three clones appear one after another.

Around the cave where the portal is located, there are many unrelated caves.

Each cave is different in size and has different types of resources, such as water source, soil, plants, temperature, and oxygen content.

Except for the initial cave, most of the surrounding caves are illuminated by light sources, and there are all kinds of strange plants growing on the ground. The game's style is very cute.

only……

Including Liuliu, everyone discovered a problem unanimously.

What about tutorials?

What about the novice tutorial?

Where's my newbie tutorial?

You spend money to buy a game, but why don’t you even get a novice tutorial?

Isn't this a sign of incompetence and failure?

Is it possible...

Just play it so hard?

"From the Kerbal Space Program to urban skylines, from cryptography introductory manuals to hypoxia, I discovered that General Tiangong doesn't have the habit of giving novice tutorials?"

"You can't say that. The Kerbal Space Program has a novice tutorial, but the novice tutorial also needs to read the tutorial. The city skyline is just a guide, the cryptography introductory manual is beginning to be inappropriate, and hypoxia is completely inappropriate! "

"This problem is not good and needs to be corrected. The game I paid for does not have a novice tutorial. This is not equivalent to the summer homework I paid for. Did the teacher tear up the answers for me?"

"By God's blessing, the old thief issued an edict: Where is the great master of the old school? Quickly develop a novice tutorial, here's what I do!"

Sixty-six people hold their teeth in their hands, and they can only understand each one one by one.

Upper left corner of the interface: In-game time, speed control, emergency control, and overview of clones, stress, diseases, and food.

The first row of the top menu: provides some general behavioral controls for the clone.

The second line of the top menu: View menu, which provides a variety of different view options.

Left: Important information and tips.

Right: Details and settings for the currently selected function.

Lower left corner: Construction menu, used to build various buildings.

Lower right corner: The command button is used to arrange tasks for the replicator.

After Liuliu is familiar with each one in turn, click on the ration box next to the initial portal.

[ration box]

【state--】

[Storage: 20/150kg]

【Not refrigerated】

【information--】

[Storage a small amount of food, the food must be delivered to the box by the clone]

[Stock capacity: 150kg]

[Decoration degree: +5 (range: 1 block of bricks)]

[The ration box can prevent hungry animals from stealing food, but it cannot slow down food spoilage]

[Contents: 21.8° nutrition bar: 20kg]

"This is the initial resource of the game, which is the same concept as the 70,000 colones of City Skyline."

Liuliu operated the clone while conducting analysis:

"It seems that our task in the early stage is to collect food and build basic living facilities."

"This concept is universal in any simulation management and construction game."

"Let's try it one by one. The early stage shouldn't involve too complicated subjects."

Liuliu moved the mouse to the cave aside.

【oxygen--】

[breathable gas]

【179.6 g (easy to breathe)】

【21.8 degrees】

"Each cave has an oxygen reserve. The name of the game is hypoxia. Even oxygen is one of the resource types."

"This cave has water resources. By digging through the two caves, we can obtain not only oxygen but also water resources."

"Kill two birds with one stone!"

Liuliu spoke in an unhurried voice, but his thoughts were very smooth.

It doesn’t matter that there is no beginner’s tutorial for hypoxia.

comprehend by analogy.

Utilize the underlying logic of games of the same type.

Always try to play.

Moreover, it does not involve too much or too complicated subject knowledge in the early stage, so everything progresses with ease.
