Chapter 27: A Cat Rio-like game?
"Oh! I got a sister! I found it!"
Shark live broadcast platform, the live broadcast room of Queen Shi Liuliu of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Prince Zhuangzhuang.
The two are siblings, and they usually do live broadcasts together when they have time, and today is no exception.
After hearing his brother’s reminder in the channel, Liu Liu quickly refreshed the interface.
Immediately afterwards, the homepage of the Yiyou platform was changed to a flashy cover of the Mini Game Development Festival event.
“I got it too!”
"Wow--"
Looking at the dazzling array of main interfaces, Liu Liu was a little dazzled:
"There are so many games. I'm having trouble making choices."
"It is said that there are nearly 600 games participating in the competition,"
Zhuangzhuang said:
“I really don’t know which one to play first.”
"Why don't we find someone online first so we can play together."
Liuliu suggested.
"Okay,"
Zhuangzhuang responded, and then, in just a moment, he found the target:
"Hey sister, search for Star Games. It seems that they are releasing an online game this time."
"Starlight?"
Liuliu was a little surprised:
"Isn't Xingmang a well-established gaming company? How could they be able to participate in this event..."
As he spoke, Liu Liu typed Star Game into the search bar.
The search interface popped up immediately.
Sure enough, a game called "Brothers Adventure" under Star Games participated in the event.
"I'm ready."
The game is not big, and Liuliu completed the installation in just a few moments.
"OK, I invite you to join the room."
Over there, Zhuangzhuang also created a room and pulled his sister into the game.
As soon as he entered the game, Liu Liu felt a familiar smell coming towards him.
The rough style of stick drawings, two little men, one black and one white, with frozen expressions, bricks full of question marks hanging in the air, and malicious clouds floating through the sky.
Everything is so familiar.
"Is this... a sequel to Cat Rio?"
It can be seen that the previous cat Rio caused a lot of psychological trauma to Liu Liu, causing her to have a bit of PTSD when she saw this style of painting:
"It looks so familiar."
"no,"
Zhuangzhuang said:
"Cat Rio is not from Xing Mang, this should be... just that the style of painting is more similar to Cat Rio."
Talking!
The two entered the game.
On the briefly black screen, the word "x3" was written behind a little white man.
Next, enter the official game screen.
The little white man controlled by Zhuangzhuang stood under a string of question mark bricks, with two small monsters walking slowly in front of him.
"Uh, this..."
In the voice channel, Zhuangzhuang's voice was a little hesitant:
"So the meaning of this online game is that it's just like Mario, where each person has three lives and they take turns playing..."
"It seems so." Liu Liu was also a little disappointed and smiled helplessly: "Please start your performance, brother."
"What's the point of performing this?"
Zhuangzhuang laughed:
"I bet if I jump up and hit that question mark brick, I'll die."
As he spoke, Zhuangzhuang controlled the little white man to leap and land accurately on the bricks.
Bang——
The brick exploded on the spot, just as Zhuangzhuang had expected, killing him.
"Look,"
Zhuangzhuang was not annoyed at all, and even felt like laughing:
"I'm just a see-through person!"
"Tsk, you're awesome."
Liuliu chuckled:
"You're talking as if you can predict everything at a glance. Are you so good at predicting everything that happened than Cat Rio, who lost more than 40 lives in the first level?"
"Tsk, sister, what are you saying?"
Facing his sister's questioning, Zhuangzhuang smacked his lips:
"I'm an experienced fighter now. If you don't believe me, just watch. Wherever I say there's a trap, there must be a trap!"
Talking about it!
Zhuangzhuang flew forward, making accurate predictions along the way.
"Monsters will fly out of this tube..."
"This question mark cannot be topped..."
"A row of monsters will fall from the sky..."
"If you touch the clouds, you will die..."
soon!
Under Zhuangzhuang's explanation, all three lives were consumed by him.
The audience suddenly felt bored.
'I feel a bit bored'
"Yeah, why didn't I feel this way when I saw Cat Rio before?"
"Indeed, although the graphics and gameplay are exactly the same as Cat Rio, I always feel like something is missing."
'It doesn't seem to have that flavor'
"It's not that difficult, but it's not that difficult."
'It doesn't have the same effect as the original show with Cat Rio'
"Is it because the strong prince has been tempered?"
"Play..."
Looking at the discussions on the barrage, Liu Liu was actually quite surprised.
Obviously, this game looks no different from Cat Rio.
Why does it feel like it’s not as fun as Cat Rio?
I always feel like... something is missing .
Zhuangzhuang is still more sensitive.
"Let me tell you what's missing."
Seeing the questions on the barrage, Zhuangzhuang explained:
"Although this game looks similar to Cat Rio,"
"But in terms of obstacle design, it's not even a little bit different from Cat Rio."
As a host who has completed the game with more than 200 lives.
Zhuangzhuang has absolute authority on the game Cat Rio.
"The obstacle design of Cat Rio is very logical,"
"Designers usually use a fake bait to lure players into falling for it,"
"After that, we will use real obstacles to trap you or kill you."
"It can be said that almost every prediction made by the player has been predicted by the designer, so he can make you suffer a lot."
At this point, Zhuangzhuang changed the subject and pointed to the "Big Adventure" in front of him :
"But this game, to put it bluntly, is just piling up obstacles,"
“The connections between the barriers are weak or nonexistent,”
"The reason why you feel that this game is not fun and has no show effect is because I have predicted the designer of this game,"
“When the designer’s trap is easily seen through by the players, this type of game loses its fun.”
A few words!
It’s like an epiphany!
The barrage of comments woke up one after another——
"As expected of a strong prince who has been secretly playing games since childhood"
“That’s absolutely true…”
'His understanding of the game has always been pretty nerdy'
'Deeply distressing'
"As expected of a man who once smashed a keyboard, he has a great understanding of the game!"
'Indeed, the obstacle design of this game is too superficial.'
'This shows that the designer's level is the same as mine. He only sees that Cat Rio is difficult, but he doesn't know why Cat Rio is difficult and fun.'
'Carry it away, carry it away'
"Next one, Sister..."
After Zhuangzhuang's explanation, the audience in the barrage finally realized that the seemingly ordinary Cat Rio, whose selling point is to break the defense of players, is actually far from being as simple as it seems.
Liu Liu also nodded:
"It seems that there aren't many designers who can design that kind of game logic."
"That's quite rare,"
Zhuangzhuang grinned and said:
"Think about it, sister. I started playing games when I was seven years old. He made me so upset. He must have some skills."
Puff——
Zhuangzhuang's words made Liuliu laugh.
Then, his eyes lit up: "Oh, by the way, speaking of Cat Rio, did their company participate in this development festival? I remember that company is also a newly established game company."
After this reminder, Zhuangzhuang also clapped his hands:
"Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten about them."
You must know!
He had a lot of fun playing both games released by Golden Wind.
Thinking of this, Zhuangzhuang closed "Brothers Adventure" produced by Xingmang Games, and opened the homepage of the Yiyou platform again, clicking on the search bar——
"Uh... that company seems to be called Golden Wind..."
"Oh! Got it!"
Just below the search bar, a game labeled "Development Festival" appeared.
