Game designer: I am making games, not charity

After starting the official game.

In front of Li Xinghan, a field from the beginning appeared.

This field has only six grids, one of which is a good field where vegetables can be grown, and the other five are full of stones and weeds, which are wastelands that cannot be planted.

The game system begins to be introduced.

"Dear player, as a farmer, you need to buy seeds and plant them."

At the beginning of the game, the system gave away seeds for free.

Of course, the system donated only the most elementary radish seeds and pasture seeds.

Li Xinghan opened his backpack and took out the radish seeds from it.

Then he walked to the intact field, dug up the land, put seeds in it, and buried the soil again.

Because of the excellent VR engine, when Li Xinghan turned over the dirt, he could clearly feel the roughness of the dust in his palm.

Then when he held the seeds, he could feel the softness and elasticity of the seeds again.

This experience is very comfortable and makes him feel as if he is really farming.

"Congratulations to the player, the planting success rate has reached 70 points, and the radish will mature in 3 minutes!"

Planting success?
Li Xinghan was a little surprised.

Soon, the game system popped up a series of introductions.

[Planting success is related to how hard the player digs the soil, how deep the seeds are buried, and how hard they bury the soil.

The higher the score, the shorter the maturation time. Below a score of 50, the seeds will take longer to mature, and the lower the score, the lower the yield of the plant. 】

Seeing this, Li Xinghan couldn't help but admire secretly, this design made the whole game more interesting.

Then, according to the introduction of the game system, Li Xinghan used the hoe in his backpack to reclaim the other five wastelands.

He planted the seeds in his backpack one by one.

This time, he deliberately started to pay attention.

The score really improved a bit.

Moreover, he also found that when a crop was replaced, the force used and the depth to bury the seeds in the soil were also different.

This also made Li Xinghan feel more interesting.

According to the current gameplay, maybe the higher the seed level you get in the future, the more complicated the planting method will be.

Li Xinghan began to look forward to higher-level crops in the future.

After tossing around in the field for a few minutes, Li Xinghan successfully planted the remaining four radish seeds and one pasture seed into the field.

After getting up and retreating to the field, he lowered his head and saw that his character's legs were covered with mud.

When the wind blows, the soil on the trousers will peel off, full of details.

Li Xinghan only felt as if he was really in the farm, as if he had just finished his farm work.

At this time, the radishes that were first planted were almost ripe.

Above the radish, there is a maturity progress similar to an experience bar.

The progress bar also shows the time left to ripen.

"36s!"

With only 36s left, the radishes will be fully ripe.

Moreover, in this field at this time, the seeds that have just been sown have broken through the soil, sprouted branches, and grown two green leaves.

Seeing that the radish was about to mature, suddenly a big green caterpillar appeared on the radish leaf.

Not only that, but beside the radish, a withered yellow weed appeared.

The game's system prompt box popped up: "Pests appear on the crops! Weeds appear in the fields!
Pests will reduce the harvest of crops, and weeds will prolong the maturity of crops. Use pesticides to get rid of pests, and use sickle to get rid of weeds! "

Li Xinghan immediately took out the sickle in his backpack and cut off the weeds.

The sickle is a gift from the system, but it cannot be used indefinitely.

This sickle has a durability. Once the durability is used up, you need to go to the store to buy a whetstone to repair the sickle.

Naturally, pesticides are not free, and they also need to be bought with money.

After understanding the functions of these things, Li Xinghan couldn't help grinning.

Platinum Company must rely on these props to charge fees. In reality, recharge money to buy these products.

After all, Li Xinghan is a game designer with a doctoral degree, so he is very experienced in how to make money through a game.

Li Xinghan opened the system tool and searched for places to recharge, but after searching a lot, he found that there was no place to recharge in the system interface.

This made him a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

The game is free, and then there is no item charge?

How does Platinum make money in this game?
While Li Xinghan skillfully walked to the field, began to weed and clean up the pests, he also thought about the way Platinum Company could monetize this game.

He has also studied the charging model of "Legend" before.

Although the game is completely free, the consumption of various props in "Legend" is extremely high.

Coupled with the various national war activities and field pk inside, it will further promote the consumption of such props.

Because of the arrogance in the game, players will naturally try to recharge.

And "Dungeon Warrior" is similar in essence to "Legend", and then relied on e-sports to earn a wave of surrounding money.

It stands to reason that the charging models of "Diamond Farm" and "Diamond Ranch" produced by Platinum this time should be similar.

Could it be that Platinum didn't set up a recharge window for the VR side because it was the first time Platinum came into contact with the VR side?
Do you want to recharge, or do you have to use the computer or mobile phone?
Well, after collecting this batch of dishes, I will go out and check on the computer later.

Li Xinghan thought so, and wiped out all the weeds and pests of several crops in the field.

At this time, the radishes that were first planted in the field had already matured.

The pasture still needs to wait a few minutes.

The system prompt pops up again:

[Watering can shorten the maturity time of crops, and you can have three opportunities for free watering every day. 】

Li Xinghan didn't think much, and directly watered the pasture once.

The grass is ripe in no time.

Standing on the edge of the field, looking at the mature crops all over the field, Li Xinghan walked into the field contentedly with his hips crossed, and began to pick the fruits of his hard work for half an hour.

"Picking succeeded! Carrot +5!"

"Picking succeeded! Carrot +7!"

"Picking succeeded! Carrot +6!"

"Picking success! Grass +8!"

……

Li Xinghan picked all the mature crops, and then carried the radishes and pastures to the warehouse beside them for storage.

It was only when Li Xinghan replanted the seeds that he realized that his seeds were no longer enough.
