Chapter 196 Boredom and Anger
Gu Fan turned on his phone and searched for videos related to road rage on video websites.
Lilith was quite satisfied to see that many people who were usually gentle and gentle became furious, and some people who were already bad-tempered became even more furious.
Especially some foreign road rage videos, where the two parties directly engage in American-style mariachis whenever they disagree, which is even more thrilling to watch.
"Okay! Gu Fan, you really have a lot of ideas, I saw you right!
"Then tell me in detail, how should this game be made?"
Gu Fan thought for a moment, and then spoke.
“Mr. Li, I think this game should focus on two negative emotions, namely anger and boredom!
“The superposition of these two negative emotions is enough to dilute the negative emotions caused by ordinary driving. Fun, let negative emotions become the main direction of the emotions generated by the game.
“In addition, I think this is best a stand-alone game that can be connected to the Internet, which is of great significance for further collecting negative emotions.”
Lilith was a little confused when she heard this: "A stand-alone game that can be connected to the Internet? That is to say, players are not forced to connect to the Internet at any time. They can also play stand-alone at ordinary times, but add network functions for them? Just like the original "Fire Thief"?"
Gu Fan nodded: "Yes!"
Lilith was a little confused: "Is there any explanation for this?"
Gu Fan explained: "Of course there is an explanation. The Internet, for the production of Negative emotions definitely play a very important role. As for road rage, the probability of players getting road rage because of NPC’s vehicles is obviously significantly lower than that of them getting road rage because of other players’ vehicles.”
Lilith thought about it, indeed.
In comparison, although NPCs can also inspire players' anger, this emotion is often short-lived and not lasting. Because players know very well that it is just a computer AI. It is a written program and not a real person. It does not even have its own consciousness. What is there to get angry about?
But if you are fighting with a real person, the situation may be very different.
“Why not just do the online mode?” Lilith asked.
Gu Fan smiled: "If we directly do the online mode, many players will be directly persuaded to quit.
"Since we want to collect as much negative emotions as possible, of course we still Try to trick as many players as possible into killing them.
"In this way, if the network environment does not allow players, they can at least play in single-player mode and continue to contribute negative emotional value to us.
"Mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. "
Lilith nodded: "Well, not bad, Gu Fan is the one who thought it through! So how to make this game specifically? "
Gu Fan took a few steps in the living room and simply smoothed out his thoughts: "It's very simple, Mr. Li, we have to design this game around the two negative emotions I mentioned before, respectively. It’s ‘bored’ and ‘angry’.
“How can we make players feel bored?
"General racing games will definitely not work. Players can race and drift, which will only make them feel the adrenaline surge.
"If you want to make players feel bored, you must try your best to make them feel bored. It is close to the real driving environment, speed limit, obey traffic rules, avoid pedestrians and electric vehicles, and it is best to arrange traffic jams from time to time. At the same time, players’ driving routes must be restricted so that they are not free to drive wherever they want, but must strictly follow fixed routes. "
Lilith couldn't help but her eyes lit up: "Not bad! This is indeed more boring, but what about anger? "
Gu Fan continued: "It's very simple, let's think about the conditions for road rage.
“We require players to drive on specific routes and abide by traffic rules. Once violated, they may be caught or have points deducted.
"But! On this basis, we often arrange some NPC vehicles near the players to perform uncivilized driving behaviors such as repeated lane changes and traffic jams to arouse the players' anger as much as possible!"
Lilith listened carefully. He looked up and nodded frequently: "Yeah! It sounds like a good idea!
"But...doing it all the time will make you tired easily, right? What if the player breaks the jar? "
Gu Fan explained: "It's very simple, we just need to continue to increase the punishment!
“If the player violates the rules, he will be punished according to the violation. Fines and points deduction! If the points are deducted, the account will be frozen for a period of time, and then the game can be played normally.
"If the player is injured in a car accident, he must wait for the ambulance to arrive, and then watch helplessly as he is dragged into the ambulance and hospitalized. During this process, the player's medical expenses in the hospital will also be deducted. The player is in the hospital as soon as he goes online and cannot continue playing the game.
“If the player unfortunately dies, the game account will also be frozen for a certain period of time and cannot be played. "One more thing, if there is an accident on the road and another driver is involved in a car accident, the player must pull over immediately to rescue!
"In reality, this kind of thing is purely voluntary , but in our game, it must be mandatory.
“If the player does not save, points and fines will also be deducted, which will further cause the player to have more negative emotions!”
Lilith frowned slightly: "What if the player rescues?"
Gu Fan chuckled: "Then rescue! If the rescue is successful, you will get a small bonus. However, the player must choose the injured person according to the situation. Rescue should be carried out correctly according to the situation, and certain procedures must be followed.
“For example, you need to turn off the engine first, help the injured person unbuckle his seat belt, let the injured person raise his head, and keep the airway open, if there are obvious wounds. A simple bandage is needed to stop the bleeding, and it is decided whether to remove the injured person from the vehicle based on his condition...
“Once the player makes any wrong steps, not only will they not get the bonus, but they will also have to deduct extra money!”
Lilith's eyes lit up: "Oh? In other words, the reward is very low, but the punishment is very high? Very good, this is very in line with the design idea of our game Against Heaven! Is there anything else?"
Gu Fan thought for a while: "Other functions can also be added as appropriate.
"For example, where does the money in the game come from? We can offer players several different careers.
"Office workers: You need to drive to and from get off work on time every day, and you will inevitably experience the morning and evening rush hours. Once you are late, your salary will be deducted. The monthly salary is relatively fixed.
" Rental Car driver: You need to pick up jobs everywhere in the city. The routes are relatively free, but the income also fluctuates greatly.
“Internet celebrity: You can live broadcast your driving content, but it depends on how many people watch it. Of course, the live broadcast is conducted in the game, and players also watch it in the game. Only if there are more people watching , to get income, otherwise there will be no money at all
"Mr. Li, you can add other functions as appropriate."
Lilith was very happy: "Very good! Gu Fan, this is a very good idea! Thank you for your hard work and great contributions to Nitiantian! Next time If you go to hell, I will definitely not treat you badly!"
Gu Fan coughed twice in embarrassment: "Ahem, Mr. Li, you don't have to treat me badly in the human world, you don't have to go to hell. Look at your red Ferrari..."
Lilith pretended not to hear: "Okay Gu Fan, I'll write the design draft for this game myself! You've been working too hard during this time, so be good. Take a two-day break!
"By the way, tell all the key members that I will hold a meeting of leaders the day after tomorrow, and ask everyone to attend. I have something very important to announce! ”
After saying that, Lilith disappeared on the spot.
“You don’t need me to write a design draft this time?”
Gu Fan couldn’t help but frown slightly. He was a little surprised and had a vague premonition of something bad.
It stands to reason that as Lilith's trust in herself becomes higher and higher, her autonomy in work should also become stronger and stronger.
From the beginning, I was not allowed to put forward any opinions at all, but later I was able to participate in finalizing the theme and general direction of the game, and then I was able to actively design...
Gu Fan is clearly on the right path.
But now, why did it suddenly fall back again? Are you not allowed to write design drafts?
Is it really what Lilith said, that she thinks he is too tired and wants him to rest for two days?
How is that possible!
Gu Fan knows these demons so well that it is absolutely impossible to be considerate of his subordinates.
There is only one explanation and that is that Lilith's trust in Gu Fan has declined!
But there was nothing Gu Fan could do at this time. If Lilith forced her to write a design plan when she had been informed that she did not need to write it, it would arouse even greater suspicion.
“Forget it, let’s not think about it for now.”
Gu Fan is indeed very tired these days. He burns his brain with high intensity every day, and his brain is about to smoke. It’s just the right time. Take this opportunity to rest and cool down.
He stretched out, washed briefly, and lay down on the bed early to sleep.
