There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Feng Kangshun looked at a few friends who were still playing online, since noon, and their status hadn't changed until now.

   Finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  He found a friend who usually chats best, then opened the chat window, and sent him a message.

   "Dude, is the game "Civilization" really that fun? I see you playing it until now."

   Click Send.

  But after the message was sent out, it was like a mud cow into the sea, and no reply was received for a long time.

   Until Feng Kangshun got a little impatient waiting.

  Reply to jump out.

   "Fun."

   Just one word.

   And then it's over.

  A feeling of not disturbing him playing games...

  Feng Kangshun looked at the reply, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Do you think I care about you? I want to explain what makes this game so fun, let me see if I should start with it.

   You just replied that it was fun?

   That's right.

  Feng Kangshun was indeed moved.

  When Linmu Studio releases a new game, it will indeed bring a lot of his friends together to play, and occasionally Feng Kangshun himself is among them.

   But even the best new game.

  No matter how engrossed everyone is in playing, they usually take a rest.

  For example, in the afternoon and early morning, many players will choose to turn off the game.

  Although the next day, I could see them continuing to play again.

   But this time, no matter when Feng Kangshun went to visit, he could see them online and playing all the time, which was outrageous. This kind of thing had never happened before.

   Is it really that fun?

  This kind of thought arises spontaneously, and it is understandable that the urge to start the game arises.

   "Where is the fun? I remember you said you didn't like this type of game before."

  Feng Kangshun thought about it, and sent another message to the other party.

  The other party still didn't respond.

   After a long time.

   just replied: "It's fun, it's fun... I don't know! Don't talk about it, I'm so mad! Fucking Gandhi! He is the first to drop the nuclear bomb if he advocates non-violent non-cooperation!"

   "?"

  Feng Kangshun slowly put a question mark when he saw his friend's information.

   Then, I became even more excited.

  Nuclear bomb?

  By the way, it seems that the game promotional video does say that players have to control the development of the entire civilization... It is normal to be able to research nuclear bombs.

interesting.

  Feng Kangshun looked at his friend's information, then looked at the Vaporwave game platform, closed the chat window, and turned around to find a real friend.

"exist?"

"what?"

"What are you doing?"

"Ready to go to bed, I played "Bloodthirsty" all day today! It's really cool! Gameplayer really made the right bet this time, I took a look before closing the game, and the multiplayer mode entered in seconds! There are a bunch of players, Vaporwave game platform seems Dangerous.

  By the way, do you want to try it too? This game is really worth buying! Although it is not as long-term operation as "Breakout", if you like FPS, it is worth playing. "

  Feng Kangshun's real-life friends told him a lot, and by the way, he even bought the game.

  But Feng Kangshun was not tempted.

   He is very familiar with the game type of FPS, and in his mind, "Breakout" is the best in the world! That's not much to say.

  Now he cares more about the types of games he doesn't understand, such as the "Civilization" that a dozen friends played for more than ten hours...

   "Let's talk about FPS, I see that "Civilization" on the Vaporwave game platform seems to be played by many people, and the evaluation is very good, do you want to try it together?"

  He quickly returned a message.

   "?"

His friend in real life directly sent him a question mark: "Crazy, it's already early in the morning, I'm crazy to play some turn-based strategy games with you, it's not good to go to "Bloodthirsty" tomorrow after I've had enough sleep ?"

   "You go to bed so early? Why don't you lie in bed and play Splatoon, try it! Anyway, you can get your money back within two hours."

  Feng Kangshun replied: "I'm really curious, aren't you curious? Look at your friend list, is everyone playing?"

   "...Damn it, is it true that everyone is playing?"

  The friend on the other end paused, and then replied: "I don't understand, is FPS unhappy? Or is Linmu Studio too famous? Are these people following suit?"

Feng Kangshun bewitched: "You don't care what the reason is, anyway, I'm very curious, are you curious? Do you want to rush? It's not fun, if you really can't accept it, you can get a two-hour refund. Go to sleep and continue playing your "" Bloodlust."

   "What about you, you can't play alone, why pull me?"

   "I feel bored playing alone, let's try it with the mic, and you can say whether you will come or not!"

   "...okay, give it a try."

opposite.

  Feng Kangshun’s friend looked at the Vaporwave game platform, thought of the refund mechanism, and saw that there were indeed many friends playing, so he agreed without psychological pressure.

but.

  Acknowledgments return to promises.

  He did not forget to add a sentence at the end: "Don't get on top, I will go to bed at three o'clock and play "Bloodthirsty" tomorrow."

"Row."

  Feng Kangshun agreed, and then the two logged into 'Kaihei' and bought the game together.

   The game starts downloading.

  The two took this time to chat about their recent situation.

  The download speed of the game is quite fast.

   The two of them didn't chat for long, and the progress bar was already two-thirds gone.

   "I feel that the Internet speed has been much faster recently, do you feel it?"

  Feng Kangshun glanced at the download page, and suddenly sighed.

   "Recently, it was said that a large-scale broadband speed increase is required, which is normal."

The friend replied, and continued: "However, apart from this, the network of the Vaporwave game platform is indeed faster than other software. After all, didn't Linmu Studio say to optimize the network a while ago? I read that people on the forum said that they Servers have been added in various regions, and the huge cost will be thrown down, so it's no wonder it's not fast.

  Gameplayer does a poor job in this regard. Tsk, there are often ups and downs in China, and it’s very stupid. I played "Bloodthirsty" for almost half a day... This is what Linmu Studio has done really well. "

  Feng Kangshun was slightly taken aback when he heard what his friend said, and then he came to his senses.

  It seems to be true...

  Although the Vaporwave game platform doesn’t seem to have any big moves, and the players’ feelings are not obvious, unlike Gameplayer giving games or exclusive third-party masterpieces that attract much attention, but optimizing the network environment and community, Linmu Studio has been doing it...

  He, who doesn't pay attention to internet speed at all, has discovered that the download speed has become faster.

   Moreover, when he thinks about it now, he thinks it's outrageous. Why would he dare to ask his friends to play a game that he hasn't bought yet at twelve o'clock in the morning?

   Isn’t it just subconsciously feeling that games on the Vaporwave game platform can be downloaded soon?

  Linmu Studio's silent move to moisten things... Hiss.

  Feng Kangshun suddenly understood why Linmu Studio chose to optimize the network and community silently, regardless of the other party sending the game.

   This is improving core competitiveness in silence.

   "Stop talking, I've finished downloading here, are you all right?"

  At this moment, Feng Kangshun's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by his friend.

"...Almost, you should go in and get acquainted with it first, and see how to connect, it will be fine soon." Feng Kangshun immediately came back to his senses, replied, and put the extra thoughts behind him. I thought about it, but not much.

"Fine."

  The friend responded, then fell silent, and opened the game.

   Unlike Kang Yi, who clicked Quick Start directly, he chose a teaching mode to familiarize himself with the operation and elements of the game first.

but.

  Probably because my friend is next to me, and I haven’t been exposed to strategy games before.

   While playing, he also complained.

"I knew that no matter how majestic the promotional video is, the final game will become like this... small grids. I have never understood what is so fun about this kind of game. It is not like FPS, although the promotional video also has exaggerated elements, But at least as soon as the first person comes out, that feeling comes."

   "Well, cities, resources, construction, technology... so troublesome."

   "However, the map is quite unexpected. Each grid has different landforms, and then there are different resources. It is true that very few games will make this."

   "Well, after the pre-construction is completed, you can't do other things for seven or eight rounds. What's the point?"

   "Boring!"

   "...I've done it too."

the other side.

   On the way to listen to friends complaining.

  Feng Kangshun also finished the game. Like his friends, he also entered the teaching mode.

   Then learn the basics of the game based on the teaching of the game.

  As for what his friend complained about, he also felt the same way.

but.

  He is different from his friends. He has been exposed to two turn-based strategy games before, or more precisely, strategy games.

  At that time, his only feeling when playing strategy games was that it was difficult and troublesome.

  Because strategy games generally have a lot of settings, and even after reading the tutorial, it is difficult to figure out what those settings are, except for intuitive ones such as money.

   This is also the reason why he doesn't like strategy games, and he doesn't understand the reason why a large group of friends play "Civilization" in a marathon style.

   But this "Civilization", I don't know why, even if I don't read the introduction,

  He can guess the role of many systems...whether it is money, policy, satisfaction, or religion, population, various units.

   Moreover, he feels that the game setting is quite reasonable.

  The population grows with the growth of food. After all, where does the population come from if you don't have food?

  As the population increases, religious points will be generated, which seems reasonable.

   After all, there are too many people.

  And these settings are closely related to reality and history, combined with the hints, suggestions and tools in the game, it feels easy to understand the role of most functions of this game.

   Inexplicably, it feels easy to get started.

   And my friend said that I can’t do other things in the first seven or eight rounds, which is also exaggerated. The feeling of exploring the map, finding a good place, and then meeting expedition teams from other countries is actually quite good...

   "Okay, I have fully understood this game now, how are you? Let's start a battle."

   At this time.

Feng Kangshun's friend said again: "After playing for a while, I'm almost going to bed, otherwise I'll miss the refund time. If you're not familiar with the game, let's get familiar with it slowly. Teaching is quite boring. Let's see if it's fun with many people. If it's not fun, you can get a refund. "

"Fine."

  Although Feng Kangshun has not finished the teaching, he probably knows how to play the game.

  Build cities, then choose policies and technologies that are conducive to combat, and then blast the opponent to death.

Um.

That's it.

   One hour to resolve the battle, and then it depends on whether you want a refund or not.

  The two went through the teaching hastily, and then directly started the formal game.

  The two chose a medium-sized map, and then added several AI opponents. As for civilization, one of the two chose Wu Zetian, and the other chose Augustus Caesar.

  The game officially begins.

  At the beginning, there was nothing to say, almost like teaching.

   Determine the city location.

  Choose the research direction.

Production workers.

  The initial fighters go to explore the map.

   "How about we have a fight now?"

  Feng Kangshun's friend was looking at the picture, and suddenly joked: "In case such a round goes by, and the refund time is missed."

   "Destroy the country at the beginning?"

  Feng Kangshun smiled and replied.

   "Well, this is exciting... After all, the early stage of the game feels a bit boring, so what's the point of controlling a B fighter."

"Okay."

  Feng Kangshun thought about it, but for the first time he didn't agree with him.

  Because he thought it was quite interesting to explore the picture.

  The two continued to chat.

   While chatting, click on the next round.

  The next round that continues like this, the next round...

   Slowly, the two stopped talking.

   And the situation... gradually went wrong.

  The feeling of the two of them was similar to that of Kang Yi, but slowly, they felt that there were too many elements in the system, and at the same time they felt a little flustered, and at the same time, they came up with interesting ideas.

   Soon, the two stopped talking.

   Next turn.

   Next turn.

   Another round...

  The two people's perception of the passage of time became dull, and Feng Kangshun's friend, the direction of complaints began to gradually shift.

   "Ah Shun, what does this B Spain mean? Why does he want to explode on my border?"

   "I don't know."

   "You... Fuck! War has been declared! Did you see that! He actually declared war on me!"

   "See, can you beat it?"

   "Hit you! The opponent has a bunch of siege engines, save! Save! Save!"

   "I only have a few groups of archers."

   "Don't worry about it! Send it here first, let's form an alliance! I can't beat the country and I'm going to destroy the country..."

   "..."

  Things gradually became exciting.

Then…

time flies.

the next day.

  November 16th.

  The second day after "Civilization" was unlocked, ten o'clock in the morning.

   "Do you have uranium ore there? Trade it to me."

  Feng Kangshun asked with two dark circles under his eyes.

   "Mao, I only have two. If you don't give them, I will soon enter the atomic age." His friend's voice was a little tired, but full of energy.

   "Do you believe that I dropped an atomic bomb on your house?"

   "Come on, that B Spain next to it is about to enter the information age, hit it, tie it up and die together!"

   "...How about this, let's destroy the Spanish civilization next to it first, and then fight to the death. They have a lot of uranium ore in their territory."

   "Good idea, then you pull out your main battle tank and heavy machine gun, my bomber will open the way, and you go up and give the **** a shot."

   "Why am I not in charge of the bombing? You are in charge of ground propulsion? The cities where I station bombers are closer?"

   "Just say you agree or disagree, if you can't, just break up!"

  Feng Kangshun: "You fucking..."

this moment.

  Feng Kangshun actually felt the intrigue in modern warfare in the game...

  He couldn't laugh or cry, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

   Then, the two began to continue the operation.

   Next.

  The time has come to twelve o'clock...

  The two began to besiege the largest nearby competitor, Spanish civilization, and successfully leveled their cities one by one. Now there is only the last main city left by the opponent.

   With the last round of bombing.

  Spanish civilization, the last city declared to fall.

  Feng Kangshun also breathed a sigh of relief.

   Then, intense exhaustion flooded my heart...

  He finally didn't stare at the screen, but picked up the phone again and checked the time.

Um.

   Twelve o'clock.

…and many more.

  ? ? ?

   Twelve o'clock?

   Time went backwards?

  No, you, it's twelve o'clock at noon!

   "Fuck, it's already twelve o'clock, it's time to rest..."

  Feng Kangshun let out a wry smile, and realized it.

  This game is really poisonous.

  The more you play, the more exciting you will be!

  He finally knows why his friends play games marathon, because once they sink in, it is really hard to let go... He always wants to know what surprises will be in the next round.

  What surprises are there in the next round...

   Then it went down and down, and it became like this.

  I'm so tired.

  He shook his head, wanting to tell his friend to rest.

   But when he looked up, before he finished speaking, he saw that with the fall of Spanish civilization, the biggest computer opponent... his friend directly transferred the units that surrounded the city and aimed at his heavy machine gun unit.

  【Idiot! Your judgment day has come! 】

  【Rome declares war on you! 】

   "..."

  Feng Kangshun was stunned: "You idiot! What are you doing!?"

   "Your Judgment Day is coming!" On the other side of the hacking software, his friend repeated very accurately.

  Feng Kangshun's mouth twitched, and he tried to persuade him: "You still have to judge a ghost, it's time to rest, I've been playing with you for more than ten hours."

  Friend immediately said: "No! Sleep on it! Hurry up, next round!"

  Feng Kangshun was silent for a moment, then changed direction: "...Didn't you say that you want to play "Bloodthirsty" today? Go to bed early."

   "Fuck you! I'll play "Bloodthirsty" later, I won't kill you today, I can't sleep!"

   "Don't get on your head..."

   "I'm not on top! I just want to kill you before you sleep!"

   "You tm... okay, I will fight with you."

  Feng Kangshun watched the opponent's soldiers pressing down on him, and his adrenaline surged instantly.

  Not sleepy anymore!

  He began to dispatch troops and generals, preparing for a **** battle to the end!!

  …

this day.

   For many players, it is special...

   But for more ordinary players, it was just another ordinary day.

   Community Forum.

  Because there are many new games recently, related discussions are also very complicated.

  Some discuss the game "Bloodthirsty", some discuss the game "Last Moment", and some discuss the game "Super Mario Party".

   And the relevant discussion of "Civilization".

   Least.

  Many players didn't understand the situation, which was quite strange, so they posted a post.

  【Big brothers, didn’t Linmu Studio’s "Civilization" go on sale yesterday? Has anyone played it? Why no one discussed it? Is it bad? How is the quality? 】

   This post is sent out.

   Most of the replies are that I don’t know, I haven’t purchased it yet, and I don’t know how it is…

but.

  As time passed, players who had actually played the game came out and replied—

   "I advise you not to play."

   This reply immediately attracted the attention of the person who posted it. He quickly replied and asked, "Is it very bad?"

   "No, I'm afraid of your sudden death..." The other party's reply was also quick.

   Poster sees: "????"

   And wait for the time to come that night.

  Players who stayed up all night yesterday, wake up...

  These people are all fans of Linmu Studio. Even if the new game is a turn-based strategy, they chose to buy it at the first time, and then...then there is no more.

  Feng Kangshun's case is not unique.

  Most of the players who bought "Civilization" stayed up all night.

   Even **** battle all night.

   Now, they wake up and have time to share their feelings.

   And their feelings about the game...their opinions are unexpectedly consistent.

   "Don't play! This **** is addictive! Really don't play!"

"I bought the game at 12 o'clock yesterday, and went to bed at 12 o'clock today...During the period, I checked the time countless times and made up my mind to go to sleep, but I followed a demon, and subconsciously clicked on the next round. It's the next round."

   "Crazy! This game is really poisonous!"

   "I can't do it! I feel my body is hollowed out, I can't play anymore tonight, but I really want to play (crying

   "Don't buy it! This thing is a time black hole! Don't touch it!"

   Forum.

  Related posts popped up like mushrooms after rain.

  But ordinary players don't understand.

   You say recommend it, all of these people are like seeing a ghost, and they all say not to play.

   But you say you don’t recommend it... This group of people is still like seeing a ghost. First, don’t play it, and then it’s all... praise.

   is outrageous.

   This made most players interested in the game.

  The forum was in chaos for a while.

  Finally there are players, and a serious evaluation begins...

  【"Civilization" is a good game, there is no doubt about it, but there is one shortcoming... It makes people unable to stop.

   Really no kidding!

  Yes, you can’t stop playing a strategy game. You heard me right, which is why so many players are crying and howling (including me).

  Because this game is really poisonous... You haven’t played it, so you may not feel the same way, so let’s just say it.

  This game, what is shown, is the same as the name of the game, which is the development history of a 'civilization'!

  Urban development, military conquest, government siege, resource plundering, big country greed...

Although it is just a game, this game directly subdivides the evolution of the entire civilization into pieces, visible and clear pieces, and then completely leaves the decision-making power to shape the world to the player, making the player like a god, start Advancing History…

   This feeling is really great... Every round, players have new surprises, and what they look forward to the most is always the next round.

  True. of. complete. complete. stop. no. down. come on!

  At first, I felt a little bored, then slowly, I became addicted, and then, it got out of control.

   This is how I feel playing the game.

  Simple gameplay and complex content, coupled with the theme of "civilization" that everyone understands, will really make all players who do not resist strategy games addicted.

   And this is probably the charm of strategy games.

   (Also, don’t play this game with your friends, this is Lin Yao’s conspiracy! A fart party game! This **** is a marathon! Electronic marathon!)]

  As soon as this review comes out.

  The players who were still confused just now understood... This is a good game.

only.

   seems to be addicted easily.

   But really?

  Many players don't believe it.

   Then, thanks to the refund mechanism of the Vaporwave game platform, many players who were not interested in the game also tried it with the idea of ​​getting a refund...

  Then...then there is no after.

  …

  November 17th.

   Gilber Corporation.

  Frank came to the company early in the morning, then glanced at the data report, and froze in place.

   "Why??? Why did the number of online users of "Bloodthirsty" suddenly drop so much?"

  He raised his head, looked at the secretary in confusion, and asked a question.

   No, didn't "Bloodthirsty" still have more than 300,000 players online yesterday?

  Why is there suddenly only 100,000 left?

  How many players do I have?

  The secretary shook his head with a look of 'I don't know either'.

  Frank is silent: "..."

  This abnormal data made him suddenly feel uneasy.

   It shouldn't be.

  Linmu Studio?

No way.

   What they make is a strategy game, how can they compete with FPS for players, dreaming?

That…

Why?

  The more Frank thought about it, the more something went wrong. He hesitated for a moment, and immediately turned on the computer, wanting to search for any big moves in the game circle recently.

   And this search really found it.

   On the third day of the release of "Civilization", the early media evaluation of this game... came out.

  【"Civilization", 9.7 points.

   Just when everyone felt that the times had passed, the market had changed, and strategy games had been swept into the heap of history.

  Linmu Studio stood up again.

   They took another step back a little.

   Then, the players were surprised again.

   Honestly, Civilization is the best turn-based strategy game I've ever seen and played! none of them!

  All players should try it. 】

   "..."

  Frank looked at the content of the review and opened his mouth slightly.

ha?
