Chapter 65 A survival and construction game without survival and construction
There were so many flaws in Lilith's words 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 gods from the East 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...
However, Gu Fan was sure that he had one more goal to strive for.
That is to work hard to expand the influence of Nitian Company, strive to make the game famous around the world, and get the opportunity to go abroad!
At that time, maybe we can get on the line with the Eastern gods who are rotating in the West and let them rescue us?
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 always think about doing this kind of one-shot deal.
“If a game can operate for a long time and continue to capture negative emotions, wouldn’t it be sustainable development?
"For example, there are MOBA games that are more confrontational, FPS games, suffering games, horror games, or more deceptive money-making games. There are always some games with more negative emotions than positive ones, right?
"Why don't we prioritize developing games like this?"
Gu Fan had wanted to ask this question from the beginning, but Lilith didn't trust him at all at that time, so she didn't find a chance to ask.
Now I finally don’t vomit or feel 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 devils 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, haven't done any research?
"If the negative emotions of this type of game really outweigh the positive emotions, then why should I go to the trouble of designing my own game? Why don't I just copy it?
"But collecting negative emotions is not as simple as you think!"
Lilith held up two fingers.
"First, your negative emotions and positive emotions are like two sides of the same coin and cannot be separated. If the player has positive emotions due to the game, then 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 those of you humans who like to play the suffering game don’t like suffering, but the feeling of pleasure after defeating a powerful enemy.
"In their eyes, the suffering game is a kind of "exhilarating game".
“The players who can really persist in completing the painful game must be the 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 design idea is already the best solution for collecting negative emotions!"
Gu Fan suddenly realized.
I see!
No wonder Lilith always likes 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!
Just like 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 ones, which is just a subjective feeling.
In fact, take the cheating card-drawing game as an example. Failure to draw a specific card can indeed bring a lot of negative emotions to the players. However, once a certain European emperor draws this card in advance, it will 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 the accumulation of small cool points such as replenishing troops, eating wild monsters, buying equipment, and killing enemies, resulting in There’s no shortage of positive emotions at all!
It's just that players are accustomed to this and subconsciously ignore it.
In other words, according to the devil's statistical rules of negative emotions, 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.
Make a 100% cheating game, then burn money and spend a lot of publicity funds to lure players in, earn a wave of negative emotions and run away, without considering the long-term operation of the game. This is the best solution under the rules. .
On the contrary, if you make MOBA games and money-making games step by step, you may collect more positive emotions and ultimately lose all your money.
Gu Fan originally thought that Lilith was on the first level, 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."
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 generate a lot of positive emotions for you humans? It’d be better if it’s something that’s common and sustainable.”
Gu Fan didn't understand what Lilith meant for a moment. Why, is this a broken pot? Or are you planning to surrender to heaven?
However, he didn't ask any more questions and continued following this line of thinking: "Things that make humans happy? There are too many of them.
"It's more common and sustainable... that's 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 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 characteristics of 'universal and sustainable'. "
Lilith clapped her hands: "Okay! That's it!
"There should be 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 absolutely loyal to hell!
"You would be mistaken.
"The survival and construction games I make are also used to collect negative emotions!"
