Game Design: It is Very Simple For You To Fill In? Chapter 604

Chapter 604 Go to bed early

 He saw a series of preset messages, and almost every small message had a gift icon suffixed.

 He did not click on it and did not reveal the surprises and gifts in the future in advance.

Just looking at it, my eyes became moist unconsciously.

 In addition to birthday gifts, there are usually a lot of letters, which are random and disordered. There is no special time, and these days have no special meaning.

He didn't open it, and he also knew what these letters sent at random times were. Just like his mother would always bring a gift when she came back from a short trip, the gifts in these letters must also be interesting things she encountered.

 It's just like making a special specimen and sending it out on the same day and setting a future time. Cross-breeding flowers with new colors and sending them out as soon as possible is like seeing a beautiful shell...

 It never takes a holiday to bring small gifts for your children.

 He didn't want to pick up the things in advance, and he didn't want to spoil the surprise carefully arranged by his mother in advance.

I don't want to miss out on this carefully prepared gift because of the game's closure.

 Obviously, more than ten years is a long time for a game to be in operation. It is long enough for all the players of this game to be lost, and long enough for new games to be released almost every year to replace the old games.

 Future games will definitely get better and better, and future games will also have more unique styles.

 But now, everyone thinks,

 When a mother has planned out her birthday wishes for decades to come, the lifespan of the game, no matter how long it is, becomes too short.

According to the current development trend of Sprout Studio, it will continue to exist for a long time in the future, and it will be difficult for other game manufacturers to surpass Sprout Studio in the gaming circle.

　　'After reading about his story, I went to the game again to look at my own island. '

“Although my mother did not send me emails, the virtual mother of the protagonist in the game also sends me gifts regularly, including birthday cakes on my birthday and gifts every month. '

　　'So many years of supporting Germination, this day finally paid off. '

'The sprout finally lived up to its name on this day. It grew from a small sprout into a towering tree. Millions of players irrigated this sprout. '

'The little animals in the game are all very kind. The game design mechanism seems not to have considered the "evil" side. Even if you do a lot of bad things, the little animals will still easily forgive you. I used to think that the little animals on the island are not good-looking. , I deliberately treated it badly and drove it away, but it still sent me gifts after it left...'

I haven't been online for a long time. When I went online that day, Little Animal saw me reintroducing myself, saying that this way I wouldn't forget myself. '

Daily activity, new additions, and retention, these three sets of data represent the lifespan of a game, and are also related to the "life and death" of every employee in the game project team. For every developer, in the fierce competition in the game market, Players have too many choices, but their time is also very limited.

Even if it is a bud, new games will always be released, and the enthusiasm will dissipate. Seizing time from other people's games is the key. There is another very important reason. Even if it is a player's favorite game, it can be allocated to this game. Time is also limited.

Most players are coming online again after not playing for a long time.

　　Go and greet the little animals inside one by one. At the moment of the conversation, the players feel as if they are "lost".

Players who used to call themselves "Ready Player One" feel very unfamiliar with the things on the island at this moment. They clearly put this decoration here themselves, and the flowers they planted before have bloomed in large areas, but they can't remember it. Mingming had been studying the method of hybridizing flowers for a long time. Mingming had achieved financial freedom by reselling kohlrabi, and he had started to build islands before many of his friends.

At the same time, I also own a lot of rare furniture, clothing, and DIY constellations. Those drawings have made my friends envious for a long time.

 But now, looking at the new insects appearing on the tree due to the game update, they are so strange that I can't name them.

At that moment, the player felt that he was no longer the omniscient "number one player". The most important thing is that everyone and the little animals suddenly lost all contact.

Chatted with the little animals one by one,

“Really~where did you go~? It's really too much to leave without saying a word~”

“You're not at home all the time, right? Even if I knock on the door at your house, no one responds…”

“I originally saved the snacks that I planned to share with you because I couldn't wait any longer, so I ate them all~”

…    Synchronized with the real time, it was only on this day that the players knew the true meaning of this setting. They originally thought that the small animals would not notice the players leaving, and lived their own lives day after day, and they would only exchange greetings with each other again as before. A few words, but in fact they get together every day to discuss the player's affairs and look forward to the player's return.

I thought the island would be overgrown with weeds, but in fact, except for a few unsightly haystacks in a few corners, everything was as usual in the open space. This made the player instantly think of what the little animals would do every day when they were away. Weed and water flowers, and take care of the flowers previously planted by players.

 During the time they were away, the little animals were counting the days and missing the players.

There is no "return" gift package or other benefits for returning. There are only noisy little animals enthusiastically inviting everyone to participate in the fireworks display held in the evening.

 Some players posted everything they did after their return online.

  【In the past, I have been chasing the number one player and keeping up with the times. It turns out that staying for the game I like is also a happy thing. 】

'Before, I felt like no one around me was playing anymore, and I was quite disappointed. '

 'Some time ago, I really relied on Animal Crossing. The pressure of reality was too much. I felt much better when I went to talk to small animals. '

 'I don't have any particular favorite games. I just play whatever my friends play. '

 'Ah ah ah, no matter how much evil you do to small animals, you will still get their love! But if you also express love to them, you will get double the love from the little animals! This is the soul that Sprout gives to the game! '

'Animal Crossing makes me feel that the world is alive. There are no linear tasks, but there are many random events. It only takes a few minutes to get unexpected results. Just like Forrest Gump said, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to taste."'

　　'If you want to say something, it's most like chocolate at the next moment! That must be bass! '

 When it comes to seabass, the players immediately become happy.

 Because fishing has vibration feedback, the bigger the fish, the stronger the vibration when pulling the rod. Every time the player thinks it must be a big fish this time, a green bass will jump out of the water.

 'Perch is the real overlord of the ocean! Big! Enough strength! The most important thing is that it is cheap and can be sold for 400 bells! '

  'Hahahaha, the active time of other fish is in a certain month, and the active time of bass is from January to December. Unexpectedly, I am there all year round. '

  '400 bells, just enough to buy some fruit to relieve the fire, brother. '

　　'Is it said that fishing has stopped? younger brother. '

 'It's not fish sauce, it's seabass! '

 'The Forest of Bass! '

 'How many centimeters? How many centimeters? '

Ye Feng also saw the message from the player Aite. The content was not only on the hot search, but also appeared on the files on his desktop. The background of the social platform was also filled with messages from players Aite.

He sat in a chair and thought for a long time. Animal Crossing was not suitable for making digital beings like cyberpunk. There were only small animals here, and the players' demands were also very simple. They just wanted the game to last forever, and hoped that they could receive the preparations from their mother. gifts in letters.

 He just hopes that the game will not shut down.

　　For this reason, he also sent a latest update, which was a letter he had just received.

It was a letter from my mother. There were only three words on it, "Go to bed early."
