Chapter 184 is so similar to "Prison Tycoon"?
When you enter the game, you will see a rather crude style of painting.
How to describe it?
4399?
The picture is undoubtedly 2D, and it is from a bird's eye view.
All buildings have no roofs, directly showing the internal structure; simple lines outline the walls, classrooms, and playgrounds. Even items such as tables, chairs, and podiums are basically composed of three or four simple lines.
As for the characters inside, they follow the style of simple drawings. They are basically exaggerated Q-version images with only some very simple movements.
And it is obvious that these students and teachers have fixed templates, with hair, face shape, and body shape randomly combined, which is unbelievably crude.
To put it even more exaggeratedly, this style of painting allows many enthusiasts to complete it by just clicking on the drawing tools that come with their computers.
However, the color scheme of the game is quite comfortable, and the proportions of the Q-version characters and various buildings have also been adjusted. After getting used to this style of painting, it is still good, and it will not directly discourage players.
As for the gameplay of the game, it is a more traditional simulation business gameplay.
The player plays the role of the principal of Henggang Middle School, who is mainly responsible for the school's enrollment, construction, daily management, teacher training and other aspects.
However, unlike those business simulation games that are all built from scratch, "Henggang Middle School Simulation" will give players the big frame of the school at the beginning, including the playground, classrooms, The location of the canteen and other infrastructure has been determined in advance.
Space for expansion is reserved around each key building, and there are more plots outside the school to support players in making more expansions.
Gu Fan spent an hour briefly experiencing the game.
Then, he fell into deep thought.
Lilith was quite nervous and subconsciously rubbed her hands together: "How about it, Gu Fan, have you thought of any good ideas?"
Gu Fan said seriously: "I have to say , Azazel is indeed prepared this time, this job is very challenging for me.
“Although the template of this game is a common template for business simulation games, But Azazel made a lot of subtractions in it.
“He just directly copied some of the content that can be copied from simulation business games. For example, operations such as putting students in solitary confinement, getting haircuts, and running laps on the playground seem to be obviously from prison simulation games. It was moved from the game, but those functions that cannot be copied mechanically have been blocked.
"This has resulted in the content of the game being severely emasculated. There are actually very few operations that players can perform, and the playability is extremely poor.
"Basically, it can be said that this game requires art and themes, and The gameplay must have a theme, and the thinking must be deep and the theme...
“Except that this theme is quite topical, there is basically nothing else left.
“The most important point is that ...This game always gives me an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. "
Lilith was a little surprised: "Huh? Deja vu? This game uses templates, so it’s normal to have a sense of déjà vu. ”
Gu Fan thought for a while, searched on the official platform, and quickly found a game called "Prison Tycoon".
“Now I know where the sense of déjà vu comes from.”
Gu Fan didn’t download the game, but just clicked on the game’s promotional page, which made Lilith a little nervous. .
Like, so similar!
How can they be so similar?
The same 2D bird's-eye view, the same simple painting style.
Of course, it wouldn’t be the same if they were exactly the same. “Prison Tycoon” is set in a foreign country, and the style of painting is more foreign. Moreover, the villains and buildings in the game are smaller, and the construction of prisons is also different. It's from scratch.
Henggang Middle School Simulation is more like a localized design. The painting style is more inclined to the domestic cartoon style. It looks fresher and more natural. The characters and buildings also support zoom viewing. , and at the same time, the basic structure of the school is fixed, and players are not allowed to expand at will, and can only build in specific reserved squares.
In addition, "Henggang Middle School Simulation" is like a super emasculated version of "Prison Tycoon". Those who can't be moved will definitely not be moved. Those who can be moved will depend on their mood. As for making something original and new Function? I can’t say it’s completely absent, but it’s still better than nothing.
Lilith was a little surprised: "Isn't this considered plagiarism?"
Gu Fan shook his head: "It doesn't count.
"The law does not protect the gameplay, not to mention that these functions are basically already available in the simulation business templates. Piece together these templates and functions, and then change them. Art resources do not have any legal risks.
"But... if the players find out, the price will drop."
Lilith's expression became serious: "I understand, is this intentional by Azazel? He not only castrated In addition to the gameplay, this theme is used to stimulate players’ painful memories, coupled with the sloppy painting style... this game will definitely receive a lot of bad reviews!"
Gu Fan nodded: "Yes! , Azazel can use the name "Henggang Middle School Simulation" to create a certain degree of popularity and trick players into joining it, but it only takes more than an hour for players to discover that this game actually does not have much playable content.
"Considering the price of the game and various miscellaneous investments, it is really difficult to make a profit."
Lilith looked at Gu Fan: "Then do you have any idea?"
Gu Fan looked at him: "If I say there is no way now, can you let me go?"
Lilith said with a dark face: "No!"
Gu Fan sighed silently He breathed: "Then what are you asking? Let me try."
...At the same time, Wang Dawei's live broadcast room.
After some hard work, he has also successfully cleared "Ascension".
Of course, this achievement was achieved by him and the black dragon together, and the two of them killed each other indiscriminately.
In the early stage, the black dragon was killing indiscriminately in front, and he was reading the plot text in the back; in the later stage, the black dragon was killing indiscriminately in the front, and he sneaked up and used the BUG relic sword to cast a martial skill.
But that doesn’t matter, just tell me whether you passed the level or not!
During this period, Wang Dawei has also published some analysis of "Ascension" one after another, and his previous live broadcast slices of bugs also brought a lot of popularity to his live broadcast room.
The audience also wanted him to play "Ascension" again, and it had to be in single-player mode.
On the one hand, I want to see him suffer, and on the other hand, I can also play with multiple endings.
However, Wang Dawei has some lingering fears about "Ascension" for the time being, and wants to play it later.
But what excuse can we find to stop it?
Yes, let’s switch to a new game!
At this time, he was rummaging through the official platform and happened to find a new game that had been released recently.
The name is: "Henggang Middle School Simulation"!
Seeing this name, Wang Dawei couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Huh? Audience friends, I found a good game! Henggang Middle School Simulation!
"Isn't this a professional counterpart? It's just right for a top student like me to play!
" In this way, let's put aside the matter of clearing "Ascension" solo for the time being, and let's play this "Henggang Middle School Simulation" first. ", and also take you to re-experience the wonderful senior year life. After the experience is over, let’s go back and continue playing “Ascension”.
"What? Are you worried that this game is too easy for me, a top student?"
"Oh, no, I'm not really a top student. I was taking the Olympiad at the time. He was directly recommended, and our high school at that time was not considered a college entrance examination factory.
“Besides, this game seems to be about playing the principal, right? Anyway, that’s it!”
Danmaku didn't quite agree and wanted to watch "Ascension", but Wang Dawei had already paid and downloaded the game at lightning speed.
“Hey, so fast?
“It should be a small game.
"Just small games, as long as the gameplay is interesting."
Soon, Wang Dawei entered the game.
I have to say that this game is quite crudely made. There is no CG at all at the beginning of the game. It goes directly to the top of a school, and a portrait and dialogue box of an old man pop up.
This old man is the previous principal of the school, and he has retired at this time. Before retiring, he gave a few sincere words to the new principal who took over, the player.
For example, it is necessary to improve the teaching staff, pay attention to campus management, implement superior documents, etc.
However, these words are actually just to heighten the atmosphere and cannot provide much guidance for the player's gameplay. Wang Dawei will soon know this.
The dialogue ended, and the game popped up a rather simple difficulty selection interface.
They are [Easy Difficulty], [Normal Difficulty], [Hard Difficulty] and [Ultimate Difficulty].
The four different difficulty options each correspond to a picture.
Easy difficulty level: The classroom looks spacious and bright, with very loose student seats and a variety of high-tech teaching equipment. The students are neatly dressed in school uniforms, with neat hairstyles, and all of them are studying seriously.
Normal difficulty: The school environment is a little worse, the teaching hardware has become less, the students' seats have become crowded, and the tables are piled with various books. Many students were not wearing school uniforms and had various strange hairstyles. In the back row of the classroom, students could be seen fighting and playing with their mobile phones.
Hard Difficulty: The school environment is still similar to normal difficulty, but the number of poor students has obviously increased, and their behavior has become more and more outrageous.
Ultimate difficulty: The classroom is extremely crowded, the atmosphere is extremely depressing, and there are more students wearing strange clothes, with permed and dyed hair. At a glance, there are only a few normal people in the entire classroom.
Wang Dawei thought carefully for a moment: "Well...it seems that the difficulty of this game is mainly concentrated in two aspects, right?
"One is the school's funding and environment. The higher the difficulty, the more the school environment. Obviously the worse it is, the lower the funding will be.
“The other is the quality of the students. The higher the difficulty, the worse the students are.
“Okay, let’s get there in one step and go directly to the ultimate difficulty! ”
After selecting the difficulty, the game officially begins.
If it is other simulation business games, such as prison or hospital-themed games, you can probably name it yourself at this time. But this game has already been decided that this school will be called Henggang Middle School, so naturally there is no naming aspect.
After entering the game, what you will see is the simple game screen, as well as the main game goals at this stage.
