When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

Chapter 515 The power of public opinion

"No, it's too unreasonable!

"How could I think so much about Yugi no Light Against Heaven?"

The Gan Emperor himself felt that this inference was ridiculous.

Since it's not intentionally designed to disgust players, this design is very interesting.

While Emperor Gan watched the silicon-based villain on the screen busy, he seriously thought about the real purpose of designing this mechanism in the game Nitian.

"Could it be that...this deep game mechanism actually emphasizes the importance of public opinion?

"This kind of gameplay is actually the third way besides the head of state and the consul!"

Emperor Gan reviewed his previous game experience and suddenly realized this.

Originally, "Star Project" had only three different game modes:

The first is that the head of state overwhelms the consul, and finally embarks on the path of the consul acting like a dog and the head of state acting as a dictator;

The second is that the consul overwhelms the head of state, and finally embarks on the path of the consul swearing by a comet and seeking power to usurp the throne;

The third is the standard ending played by many people, which is that the head of state and the consul compromise with each other, cooperate with each other, and then leave the comet hand in hand.

At first, everyone had the standard ending, but soon someone discovered that this game could also be played as a zero-sum game, so they fell into internal friction of calculating against each other.

Especially after the iconic incident of "Oath by a Comet", it became increasingly difficult for the head of state and the governor to trust each other, and the matchmaking of passers-by almost turned into a dark forest.

If we get to this point, what is the game "Star Project"? Is it an excellent game?

I'm afraid it's debatable.

Because from the perspective of the entire political structure, these three endings are just a game between the head of state and the consul. It can also be said that they are similar to the plots of princes and generals in ancient novels.

But what about the silicon-based homunculus on the comet?

Throughout the entire process, he was a completely unknown tool with no sense of existence.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Because these silicon-based villains are also intelligent beings, they have a certain degree of subjective initiative and can cause trouble in the middle and later stages. Not only do they create various group incidents and make demands, they can also actually insert parts into the production line to cause damage.

Don’t these silicon-based villains deserve to influence the outcome of the game?

It's obviously worthy.

These silicon-based villains are exactly the ones who are actually building the comet. Without their hard work, the miracle of the Star Project would not be possible at all.

In comparison, the consul who personally plans all construction plans, or the head of state who holds great power and formulates planning indicators, although they will also play a very critical role in the success or failure of the Star Project, they are ultimately replaceable.

Only these silicon-based villains are truly irreplaceable.

Therefore, there is actually another line in the game, and that is the line where these silicon-based villains really exert their subjective initiative.

This is the line that the Gan Emperor tried out at this time.

In other words, these are actually two lines:

If the head of state and the consul fail together and both parties fall into meaningless and endless internal friction, then the comet will soon perish. This is the "internal friction ending";

But on the other hand, if one party wakes up in this kind of internal friction, for example, the head of state does not want to mess up and wants to have fun, then he can completely bypass the consul and complete the Star Plan by improving public opinion.

When you think about it from this perspective, the concept and degree of freedom of this game are even higher!

"I understand, this ties everything together!

"This hidden ending actually emphasizes the role of public opinion, that is, it emphasizes that the people are the promoters and creators of history, and they are the backbone of the real completion of the "Star Project"!

“Whether it is a head of state or a consul, no matter how smart and talented he is, he must rely on the masses to exert his power.

“Why does the game use the suspension of the Comet as the final settlement point?

“I think this is obviously a political metaphor!

“Every planet and every civilization has a lifespan and a periodic pattern.

“If players do not give full play to the power of the masses, once they leave the comet, they will die.

“No matter how good the heads of state and consuls are, no matter how wise they are, they will eventually perish.

“If the player does not choose to turn on the people’s wisdom, then when the head of state and the consul leave the comet, they will actually follow this old path.

"Even if it seems from the surface that Comet Civilization has reached its most prosperous period, it will only lead to a meaningless cycle." That's why the game was decisively cut off, because the plot after that was repeated, and there was no point in continuing. .

“Only after the people’s wisdom is fully opened, the entire comet civilization is actually still full of vitality. It is no longer the stage of the head of state or the consul, but the stage of all silicon-based life.

"So, whether it is the silicon-based villains who stay on the comet or the silicon-based villains who come to the new planet, their activities can keep this archive running forever, because every day after that is a new day!"

After the Gan Emperor concluded, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

But questions soon emerged.

"Ah? However, opening up the people's wisdom is not 100% successful, right? If the Archon makes trouble, it won't be able to achieve this ending, right?"

Obviously, there is a very important reason why the Gan Emperor was able to achieve this ending: the original Archon player chose to hang up.

If the archon has nothing to do and just keeps watching while the silicon-based villain demolishes every building he builds, it will be difficult to develop in the early stage.

Because although the head of state can behead the archon, he still has to go through the process. In the process of going through the process, the archon is enough to cause a lot of damage, thus greatly reducing the survival rate of these silicon-based villains.

Emperor Gan nodded: "That's true, but doesn't it conflict with my conclusion?

“Although the power of public opinion is very powerful and full of infinite possibilities, if there is an obvious reactionary force among the consuls and heads of state, it is also possible for bad things to happen.

“If we put it in human history, some key historical figures will be infamous for thousands of years after making wrong decisions, and even lead to a chaos that lasts for hundreds of years.

"What's more, it may lead to the direct destruction of a certain tribe.

"Therefore, the approach of the "Star Project" does not one-sidedly emphasize the importance of public opinion, nor does it say that people will definitely win after they exert their strength. Instead, it can only be established after certain specific conditions are met. "

Another audience member asked: "Then why do you want to hide it? Isn't it okay to open a separate technology tree based on public opinion?"

The Gan Emperor explained: “This is the subtlety!

“Because this option to mobilize public opinion was actually hidden in reality, the game is obviously a tribute!

"You think about it, in reality, in the long, thousands of years of ancient society, everything is a heroic view of history, right? It is a battle between the emperor and the prime minister. As for the common people below, what do they count?

“Using the power of the masses has never been an option on the table.

"If it is made into a separate technology line in the game, it is equivalent to directly naming the players to play this way, then the players don't need to use their brains, right?

“On the contrary, hiding this line and cleverly splitting it into the two lines of the head of state and the executive officer will not only confuse the players, but also be more realistic.

"If the player, as the head of state, only increases public opinion in a limited way to restrict the consuls, and once he thinks that public opinion is too strong, he starts to control and stops using the technology points of public opinion, then public opinion will not truly awaken.

“Only by wholeheartedly improving public opinion and not treating these silicon-based villains as unruly people, and not treating their actions as troublemakers, can they truly play their role.”

At the beginning, the barrage viewers thought this statement was quite nonsense, but the more they listened, the more they thought it did seem to have some truth to it?

They all matched up somehow?

Of course, everyone knows that the statement of the Gan Emperor must be over-interpreted, but the premise of over-interpretation must be that there are enough coincidences between the gameplay and reality.

If there is no coincidence, where is the room for over-interpretation?

Everyone knows that the two biggest highlights of the game "Star Project" are the gameplay of the traditional production line game and the simulation effect of politics.

Whether the players are playing PVP and fighting each other, or they are playing the role of a consul and using inappropriate means to carry out a plan to eliminate the elderly population, they all have strong political metaphors that can be mapped into reality.

This simulation effect of politics is the highlight of the game.

Of course, some people complain that the political gameplay of "Star Project" is too simple, with the heads of state and the consuls playing house in intrigues back and forth.

As a result, isn’t this now no longer monotonous?

It turns out that fake-AI is also a variable!

The more Gan Emperor thought about it, the more it made sense: "In other words, Ni Tiantian's design of the "game settlement mechanism" seems to be better than all of us originally expected!

"We only thought of using mods to extend the game time, but that was equivalent to destroying the game's own mechanics from the outside.

"And Ni Tiantian's approach is obviously more natural and more meaningful!"
