Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 315 Double Yolk Egg Treasure Box: This is called Super Double (Subscription Request)
The Internet is full of excitement.

Some time ago, Taipingdao was fighting one against four.

Now it becomes a one-on-four game on the Penguin Game Platform.

Unfortunately……

During this period, no matter how much fun the players had watching the game, they still felt empty inside.

Because neither the Penguin Game Platform nor the four game companies Qingshan, Baihua, Wutong and Fengqi released a new game during this period.

This means that the sales unit price of Ark: Survival Evolved's DLC has not decreased at all, and the cooling-off period between DLCs is still one month.

Players are very dissatisfied with this.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting! No one will die if you keep fighting like this!"

"Fuck! Are you just going to watch all this fun? Why don't you do something? Where are the games? It's been so many days, and you really haven't released a single game?"

"I support Qingshan Game Company. He said he would lead the community to enter Tsim Sha Tsui."

"I chose Wutong Games. He said he wants to lead the club to the moon."

"I don't want to hear about your dirty deeds at all. I beg you to release a game to refresh the sales cooling cycle of Ark: Survival Evolved DLC, okay?"

"Oh my god, please check out the official account of Taiping Dao. It's incredible! Breaking news!"

Originally, a large number of players were still watching the game online, but when they saw something happening in Taipingdao, they all rushed to the official Weibo account to check.

【Taiping Road——】

[This Cyber ​​Arena Competition has ended. The sales pricing strategy of Ark: Survival Evolved is inappropriate and is now changed as follows——]

[Cancel the original price reduction strategy and the original sales cooling cycle. ]

[Ark: Survival Evolved's 37 DLCs, originally priced at 9 yuan, are now on sale at half the price starting today. ]

[All players who purchase the DLC "Distortion" at the original price can get the game "Cat Rio" produced by Taipingdao for free as compensation. 】

[From today until the Journey Cup competition, Taipingdao will make every effort to prepare for the competition and strive to get a better ranking. Thank you for your support! ]

Water friend: "!!!"

Player: "!!!"

The selling price is halved?

No cool down period?

This is really great!

"Wow, if I had known I wouldn't have rushed to buy [Distortion]. I have obsessive compulsive disorder, and giving me [Cat Rio] isn't that going to kill me?"

"Old thief, we gave up our money to help you, why are you harming me?"

"Cat Leo: Hahaha, everyone, you didn't expect this, did you? Are you surprised? Are you shocked?"

"Player: This is bad. In this battle between Penguin Game Platform and four other companies, the first victim turned out to be us players. Who can we go to for justice?"

"Hahahaha, I was so smart that I managed to resist the urge to buy [Distortion]!"

“Although the pricing strategy has changed, the price of Ark: Survival Evolved DLC will not be reduced to 1 yuan, but everything is half price with no cool-down period, which is already pretty good. Thumbs up, old thief!”

In the reception room on the top floor of the Taiping Dao headquarters building.

Cai Gou sat on the sofa, drinking tea leisurely, and the emotional barrage above his head jumped wildly——

[Emotional Value +3]

[Emotional Value +3]

[Emotional Value +2]

Cai Gou saw the comments from netizens and commented with a smile on his face under a barrage:

"When giving away games, abstract is definitely the first choice. Cat Rio says hello to everyone."

As soon as this comment came out, netizens came out in droves and posted comments one after another. To sum it up in one sentence:

"Old thief, behave yourself!"

[Emotional Value +5]

[B-level Entry Box x1]

[Advanced Material Box x1]

"No...wait?" Cai Gou's smile froze on his face, and he stood up suddenly: "Double yolk egg?!"

Two treasure chests?
Is it so exciting?

Could it be that Cat Leo is showing off his power?
Are the players' emotions too agitated?
This is why two treasure chests appeared in a row?
There is both a high-level material treasure chest and a B-level entry treasure chest. Cai Gou can be said to have made a lot of money.

With a playful smile on his face, he whispered:

"This wave, this wave belongs to - the first bird vs. the penguin, Cat Rio showing his might!"

According to the old rules, Cai Gou came to the cyber altar.

The Cyber ​​​​Bodhisattva statue hanging on the altar had long been smoked and burned. Three incense sticks were lit and inserted into the incense burner. Wisps of white smoke slowly rose and blended into the air.

Cai Gou no longer waited and chose to open the treasure chest immediately.

[Congratulations to the host for opening the advanced material treasure chest and obtaining——]

[D-level entry: Material x5]

Cai Gou: “!!!”

What the hell!

fertile! Virtue! hair--

Five consecutive material entries?

An unprecedented harvest!

You should know that Cai Gou’s current personal level has reached level five. To reach level six, he only needs 15 points of entry experience.

This high-level material treasure chest directly makes up for one-third of the experience bar, greatly improving the experience progress of the personal level.

"Although it is only the lowest-level material item and can only be integrated into the personal level experience bar, it cannot unlock any new types of games, but just the substantial increase in experience, this high-level material treasure chest is a great help."

I’m lucky today, so I’ll keep going. Cai Gou locked his eyes on the B-level entry treasure chest and chose to open it.

[Congratulations to the host for opening the B-level entry treasure chest and obtaining——]

[B-level entry: racing]

[D-level entry: material]

"Racing entry?"

Cai Gou had a bad premonition in his mind. The overlap between this entry and the racing entry was too high. He was afraid that there would not be too many games that could be unlocked in the game entry store.

With a trace of concern, Cai Gou called out the racing entry panel to check——[Entry: Racing]

[Grade: B grade]

[Note: Fast and Furious]

Racing games are also a type of electronic game, which can be classified as a higher type of racing games. They mainly involve the first or third character participating in a speed competition.

Racing games can include car racing games, as well as some unconventional flight racing games, science fiction racing games, and special racing games.

The most famous branch of racing games is undoubtedly the racing branch. Racing games are mainly carried out in competition scenarios.

Currently, racing games have enjoyed a certain reputation in the gaming community, and players who love racing games take pleasure in experiencing the excitement of the competition.

The player's only real goal is [fastest].

This type of game is extremely simple to operate and does not require much technicality. In addition, it has unique racing equipment, high-quality and realistic racing scenes, and simulated sound effects, making it very popular among gamers.

As for other branches of the racing category, such as unconventional flight racing games, science fiction racing games, and special racing games, they are less popular and do not have as much influence as racing games.

Naturally...the corresponding number of games is not large. As a result, the number of games unlocked by the racing entry in the game entry store can be said to be better than nothing.

Fortunately, no matter what, the B-level item treasure chest provided two experience points for Cai Gou's personal level, which made Cai Gou's personal level experience bar take another firm step forward.

The two treasure chests did not play a big role in unlocking the game in the game entry store, but they played a big role in improving personal levels, almost directly pushing the personal level progress bar to 50%.

Cai Gou called up his personal panel to check it.

[Name: Cai Gou]

[Personal level: Level 5 (7/15)]

[Technical Module: Reality Augmented Technology]

[Level 6 Unlocked: Sleep Game Cabin Technology]

"Great, super double it directly, sleeping game cabin, wait for me!"

While Cai Gou was immersed in the joy of the double yolk egg treasure chest, his fellow fans were also collectively immersed in the joy of the release of the nine DLCs for Ark: Survival Evolved.

There were already a lot of anchors live streaming Ark: Survival Evolved, and because of the player taste synchronization function of Jiegan No. 2, it gave a large number of passers-by players a chance to join the game.

This group of passers-by players started live streaming, which led to increasingly fierce competition in the live streaming track of Ark: Survival Evolved.

Now that the nine DLCs of Ark: Survival Evolved are on sale, it is like a river divided into nine tributaries and one mainstream, a total of ten sub-tracks, which has reduced the competition among anchors in a short time.

This special DLC release situation has created a rare live broadcast situation for Ark: Survival Evolved where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

The anchors broadcast Ark: Survival Evolved day and night, experiencing the unique charm of different Arks.

Gradually, many players discovered that the survival and building game Ark: Survival Evolved actually contains a wonderful story.

This discovery immediately alarmed the original members of the Truth Society of the Zhengjiao Cult, and they downloaded different DLCs of Ark: Survival Evolved, striving to present the story of Ark: Survival Evolved to the players one by one in the shortest possible time.

The story of the main game Ark: Survival Evolved is relatively simple, but the plots of the nine DLCs are much more complicated.

Because the story of the main game is strongly related to the story of the other 9 DLCs, they are of the same origin.

The main game map of Ark: Survival Evolved is called Lonely Island, and the protagonist is named Helena. She looks like a modern biologist, but in fact she is a clone of this modern biologist.

During her exploration of the isolated island, Helena met the modern chemist Rockwell, and the two discovered the connection between the artifact and the obelisk.

Helena used an artifact to activate the obelisk, but ended up summoning a spider boss, causing great suffering to the friendly tribe.

After much difficulty, the spider boss was killed and a key dropped. Helena felt that the key matched the altar in a secret cave. The altar had three keyholes, and there were three obelisks on the island.

So she came up with a bold idea. Helena sought help from the "Queen of Beasts". This so-called "Queen of Beasts" was actually Li Meiying, a Yellow Turban general from the late Han Dynasty.

The isolated island was not peaceful at that time. Nerva from ancient Rome was dreaming of becoming an emperor and had a conflict with Li Meiying.

When Helena and Li Meiying teleported back after defeating the gorilla boss, Nerva suddenly attacked, killed all of Li Meiying's herd, and captured Helena.

Helena had no choice but to reveal the secret of the obelisk and the key, which displeased Rockwell, who was hiding in the Nerva army. He thought Helena had betrayed him.

Nerva led his troops to defeat the Charizard boss, collected three keys and went to the isolated island's Tek Cave, where he won a tragic victory in the battle with the Ark Overseer.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Meiying suddenly attacked and killed Nerva.

Although they passed the Lonely Island Ark, the procedure to return to Earth was not initiated.

Because the corrupt consciousness aggregate on Earth has generated the final boss of extinction, Emperor Titan, the plan to return to Earth has been postponed indefinitely.

There was no joy of completing the game. In the chaos, Li Meiying and Nerva's bodies were teleported to the Ark of Distortion, and Helena and Rockwell were teleported to the Ark of Scorched Earth.

The story of the main island of Ark: Survival Evolved comes to an end, and the story of the Scorched Earth DLC begins.

The Scorched Earth Ark Project did not go smoothly. The residents here lacked the spirit of adventure and resistance, and instead evolved a religion similar to the worship of obelisks.

Under the leadership of the priestess Leia, they lived in the status quo and worshipped the obelisk and artifacts. This annoyed the Ark's supervisor, who was determined to cleanse the clones again and restart the Ark.

Fortunately, before the crisis broke out completely, a warrior of an unknown race came to Leia's tribe. His name was Dakya.

Dakya taught Leia's tribe how to use firearms and defeated the invading mantis monsters and wyverns. Dakya was even seriously injured while trying to save Leia, and took the opportunity to win her heart.

But they could not reach an agreement on the issue of Ark worship. Leia would not give up her faith in God and would not move away from the obelisk.

Until the last moment, the light from the obelisk destroyed the entire tribe, Dakya sacrificed, and Leia's faith collapsed. She hatched the dragon egg alone, transformed into a dragon warrior, and changed her name to Wall-E al Oswald.

As for Rockwell, who came to the Scorched Earth Ark from the Lonely Island Ark, he was doing very well in the Scorched Earth with his superb medical skills.

But he despised the religion and tribesmen here. Rockwell first stole the artifact of a tribe, then persuaded another tribe to fight the lion scorpion boss. After getting the energy element plate, he murdered all the people in the tribe.

However, Rockwell's good luck ended there, because while he was running away with his baby, he met the "traitor" Helena and Helena's new friend, the dragon knight Wall-E al Oswald, who was Leia back then.

Leia is now an old woman.

Leia told Rockwell and Helena that she had already cleared the Scorched Earth Ark and could leave at any time, but she didn't want to.

Although Helena was reluctant to leave Leia, she had had enough of the environment of the Scorched Earth Ark, so Helena and Rockwell teleported from the Scorched Earth Ark to the Distortion Ark.

The other 8 DLCs each construct a different ark, and naturally have different storylines.

Although the story of Ark: Survival Evolved does not account for a large proportion of the game, whether it is the main game or the nine DLCs, they all have their own characteristics.

In order to appreciate the complete story, players need to explore and dig deep, which is more like the strategy that game designers would adopt when making soul-like games.

A game with a superficial story usually has a story that is not worth remembering.

On the contrary, the story that players have gone through untold hardships and dug out in depth is more worth remembering.

When the art of leaving blank space in ink painting is applied to game design, the blank space in the game will also produce infinite charm.

Because the players' imagination will give the game and the story wings to soar.
