Chapter 65: A survival and construction game without survival and construction
Lilith’s words had so many flaws that Gu Fan simply didn’t know where to start.
Can this thing also be rotated?
Gu Fan was still looking forward to whether an Eastern god could come to save him? Free yourself from the clutches of the devil!
As a result, the Eastern gods changed homes?
Well, although it is very nonsensical, the appearance of Lilith is also very nonsensical from beginning to end. It is a world with abnormal painting style. Why are you thinking about this...
But Gu Fan is sure that he will fight on his own. There is one more goal.
That is to work hard to expand the influence of Nitiantian Company, strive to make the game famous around the world, and get the opportunity to go abroad!
At that time, maybe you can get on the line with the Eastern gods who are rotating in the West and let them rescue you?
As for whether you can actually go abroad now?
That won't work. Gu Fan's current work tasks are very heavy. Lilith's new games come one after another, without much rest time in between.
If Gu Fan suddenly asked for leave to go abroad, this would be too strange and would definitely arouse Lilith's suspicion.
In short, the final destination is back to the game.
Gu Fan thought for a while and said: "I really can't think of any terrible punishments at the moment, but I think, Mr. Li, shouldn't you open up your mind a little bit?
"Don't be too old I was thinking of doing this kind of one-shot deal.
"If a game can operate for a long time and continue to gain negative emotions, wouldn't it be sustainable development?
"For example, confrontational MOBA games, FPS games, suffering games, horror games In games, or more deceptive money-making games, there are always some games where the negative emotions are greater than the positive ones, right?
“Why don’t we prioritize the development of this kind of game?”
Gu Fan wanted to ask this question from the beginning, but Lilith didn’t trust him at all at that time, so I didn't find a chance to speak either.
Now I can finally stop feeling unhappy.
I thought this statement would help Lilith open the door to a new world, but she was completely indifferent.
"Why do you have such an idea? Of course not!
"In fact, if we make this kind of game, we demons will definitely lose everything! "
Gu Fan was very puzzled: "But many players feel that in MOBA games, the negative emotions obtained are higher than the positive emotions? ”
“NONONO. Lilith shook her finger, "Do you think I, as the most game-savvy demon in hell, have not done any research?"
"If the negative emotions of this type of game are really greater than the positive emotions, then why should I bother to design the game myself? Just copy it!
"But the matter of collecting negative emotions is far from trivial. It's so simple! "
Lilith raised two fingers.
"First, the negative emotions and positive emotions of you humans are like two sides of the same coin and cannot be separated. If the player generates positive emotions due to the game, the collected negative emotions will be deducted.
"Second, we demons have a "gold standard" for whether games can produce negative emotions. But any game that allows players to play for a long time must have "positive emotions greater than negative emotions." !
"This is a very simple truth. If players' negative emotions are always greater than their positive emotions when playing a certain type of game, will they continue to play? Absolutely not!
"Even you humans Among players who like to play suffering games, what they like is not suffering, but the refreshing feeling after defeating powerful enemies.
“In their eyes, the suffering game is a kind of "pleasant game".
"Players who can really insist on completing the suffering game must be players who find fun in it.
“Human beings are very emotional creatures. You tend to forget the happiness in life easily, but you can remember the regrets and unhappiness in life for a long time.
"So, you humans think that "negative emotions are greater than positive emotions" in a certain type of game. This is actually just an illusion. It is very unobjective to measure it by our demonic standards.
"My The design idea is already the best solution for collecting negative emotions! ”
Gu Fan suddenly understood.
That’s it!
No wonder Lilith has always liked to engage in one-shot deals. It turns out that the root of the problem is here!
Gu Fan had been thinking before that if MOBA games or suffering games could really continue to contribute negative emotional value, he might be able to cooperate with Lilith to a certain extent.
She makes money from negative emotions, and Gu Fan makes money, which sounds pretty good.
But obviously, that’s not the case at all!
As Lilith said, even if it is a suffering game, as long as it allows players to continue playing, the positive emotions must be higher than the negative emotions. Because players don't really like suffering, but they like the joy of conquering powerful enemies in the game.
The same applies to horror games, MOBA games, or card-drawing games.
Players feel that the negative emotions in these games outweigh the positive emotions, which is just a subjective feeling.
In fact, take the cheating krypton gold card drawing game as an example. Failure to draw a specific card can indeed bring a lot of negative emotions to the players, but once a certain European Emperor draws a card in advance, When it comes to this card, it can burst out with very exaggerated positive emotions.
Although some MOBA games will kneel down continuously, they will basically force the player's winning rate to be controlled at 50%, plus small additions such as replenishing troops, eating wild monsters, buying equipment, killing enemies, etc. The cool points accumulate and generate a lot of positive emotions!
It’s just that players are accustomed to this and subconsciously ignore it.
In other words, according to the devil's negative emotion statistical rules, any game that allows players to play for a long time will have more positive emotions than negative emotions!
No wonder Lilith always likes to engage in one-shot deals.
Produce a 100% cheating game, then burn money and spend a lot of publicity funds to trick players into it, earn a wave of negative emotions and then run away, completely ignoring the long-term operation of the game. This is the rule. The optimal solution below.
On the contrary, if you make MOBA games and krypton gold games step by step, you may collect more positive emotions and ultimately lose everything.
Gu Fan originally thought that Lilith was on the first layer, but he didn't expect that she was in the atmosphere.
Sure enough, as the most game-savvy demon in the whole hell, she would not make such a simple mistake.
Lilith concluded: "So, the word 'sustainable development' does not exist in the dictionary of our devil-made games. You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."
< br>Gu Fan sighed: "I see, that's a pity."
Lilith didn't want to waste too much time on this topic, and returned to the creative issues of the new game.
“Well, if you really can’t think of any terrible punishment, let’s change the angle.
"Think of something that can make you humans generate a lot of positive emotions? It's better to be more common and sustainable."
Gu Fan didn't understand what Lilith meant for a while. Why, this is a broken can. Already? Or are you planning to surrender to heaven?
But he didn’t ask any more questions, and still followed this line of thinking and said: "Things that make humans happy? There are too many.
"The more common and sustainable...that is simple, Just "create". "
Lilith looked at him: "Creation? ”
Gu Fan nodded: "Yes! Of course, humans have many other ways to obtain happiness, but they are generally relatively short-lived.
"For example, food, wine, beautiful women... Satisfying material desires can indeed bring positive emotions, but it is also true that It's easy to get bored.
“But "creation" is different. It is a kind of nature of human beings. After entering the flow state of "creation", human beings can persist for a long time without knowing it. Therefore, it satisfies the requirement of "universal and feasible". "Continue."
Lilith clapped her hands: "Okay! That's it!"
"You should have many games like this in the world, right?" For example, business simulation games, survival and construction games, sandbox games, etc. ”
Gu Fan was a little surprised: "You know quite a lot!"
Lilith put her hands on her hips proudly: "Of course, I am the devil who knows the best games in the whole hell! Then let's make this! A survival and construction game! "
Gu Fan was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, do you want to surrender to heaven? If possible, can you take me with you?" Gu Fan asked tentatively.
Lilith glanced at him: "What are you thinking! I am an absolute loyalist to hell!
"You may have misunderstood.
"The survival and construction games I make are also used to collect negative emotions!"
