Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Dormitory 404.

Zhu Pingan was very excited after receiving the sales data on the first day:

"Brother Dog, don't sleep, we are the number one in sales!"

"Huh?" Cai Gou immediately became energetic and asked:

"How many specific sales were there?"

Fei Yangyang reported from the sidelines:

“Twenty-four-hour sales were close to 60,000, which has broken the Independent Games Festival’s twenty-four-hour record!”

"Sixty thousand copies? This is only the first day of the competition, how come there are so many?"

Although Cai Gou had confidence in Terraria, the sales on the first day still surprised him.

"Now, you'll know just by looking at it!"

Cai Gou took Zhu Ping'an's cell phone and realized what was going on when he saw the hot search.

It turns out that my own game has alarmed a mysterious organization in China that can stand side by side with Chaoyang people and delivery boys——

Fishing guide!

This is an unexpected surprise!

There are a total of 1.4 million fishing guys in the country. Even if only a negligible 1% buys the game, the sales will take off immediately!

Cai Gou logged into Terraria's game community and found a group of fishing guys chatting with each other.

In the Terraria game guide section, there are even more fishing guys sharing their fishing experiences with each other.

What a good gaming community, but it turned out to be turned into a second air force by these fishing guys!

Who can I ask to reason with this? !

School of Game Software, Dean's Office.

An Quan said to Liu Ruoya:

"Xiaoya, is it too much to give Huang Tian Studio the 300 square meters of space in the Entrepreneurship Center?"

"What? Uncle An, are you feeling distressed?"

"That's not true, it's just... you know the specifications of the Independent Games Festival. Cai Gou's Huangtian Studio has little hope of obtaining the Green Bamboo Badge. I'm afraid other people will gossip!"

Hearing this, Liu Ruoya covered her mouth and chuckled: "Uncle An doesn't know yet?"

"What do I know?"

Liu Ruoya took out her cell phone and handed it to An Quan and said:

"Look, the game produced by Cai Gou not only became a hot search, but its 24-hour sales broke the Independent Games Festival record!"

"With these results, don't let others gossip. I think it is really possible for Cai Gou to get the Green Bamboo Badge this year!"

After An Quan checked the message, he took a deep breath;

"What a good boy, you are really quite capable!"

"Xiaoya, ask Cai Gou what he needs in his studio. Even if I vacate my office, I have to satisfy his needs!"

Liu Ruoya smiled and asked:

"Uncle An, are you not afraid of others gossiping now?"

"Afraid? With Cai Gou's achievements, I'm so scared!" An Quan puffed up his chest:

"If other people have opinions, let them speak with their grades!"

Liu Ruoya also nodded and said: "Although the Green Bamboo Badge evaluation at the Independent Games Festival does not depend on sales, but on the number of votes, Cai Gou is still very promising."

"While Huang Tian Studio has just started, it won't hurt if we give him some help in times of need. Maybe by then one of the school's outstanding alumni will be him!"

"That's the truth!" An Quan nodded and asked:

"By the way, is your father going to attend this online awards ceremony of the Independent Games Festival?"

"Probably..." Liu Ruoya frowned slightly and said:

"It's not like you don't know that my father is very busy. He seems to have taken on another big job recently."

"But for such a big event as the Independent Games Festival, he should be attending."

The schedule mechanism of the College Student Game Festival is to some extent derived from the Independent Game Festival.

But the rules and mechanisms of the Independent Games Festival are more rigorous.

Not only has the competition schedule been extended from seven days to half a month, but for the sake of fairness, participating teams cannot update their own games at any time.

Only on the eighth day of the Independent Games Festival, all participating teams will have an opportunity for version updates or temporary activities.

The final ranking results are determined by 80% of player votes and 20% by votes from major platforms.

We try our best to ensure that the selected games are well-deserved good games in the hearts of players.

Anyone can enter the competition area of ​​the Independent Games Festival.

You can see the real-time ranking and voting status of the participating teams' games.

Ji Changkong just watched Terraria's sales increase by leaps and bounds day by day.

But like the protagonist in an art-drama film, he can only watch Huang Mao do whatever he wants.

Ji Changkong held a meeting.

"Look, what does it look like? With our results, do we still want to get the Green Bamboo Badge?"

"I'm almost completely embarrassed!"

The team leader smiled bitterly and said: "Chairman, we didn't expect Terraria to become popular just because of the fishing gameplay..."

"Is this what I'm asking about?" Ji Changkong said loudly:

"I want to know what we will do next?!"

After Wang Tao hesitated for a long time, he finally raised his hand:

"Chairman, how about we also open the creative workshop?"

When Ji Changkong heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.

Copying and pasting is his style. Opening the creative workshop with Cai Gouzhuyu at the forefront may indeed be a good method.

The Independent Games Festival is halfway through the schedule, and the official opening of update permissions is the first time.

The major participating teams will carry out activities such as version updates of their own games.

This is not a small fight at the College Student Game Festival, but Chi Guoguo's charge.

Ji Changkong immediately opened the creative workshop of his own game, hoping that a miracle would happen.

After Fei Yangyang and Zhu Pingan learned the news, they quickly found Cai Gou.

"Brother Dog, although we are still leading by a big score!" Fei Yangyang asked:

"But the participating teams are all working hard, are we just going to watch?"

"How about we also open the creative workshop?"

Zhu Pingan also said: "I have some contacts in the Internet literary circle, maybe I contact Squid Girl and ask him to promote the game?"

Hearing this, Cai Gou smiled slightly: "What use is there to kill a chicken? I have other uses for the creative workshop!"

"Don't a large number of players in Terraria currently like fishing? I plan to hold a [Fisherman Titled Tournament]!"

"The player who wins first place can replace the name of the NPC fisherman with his own character nickname!"

Fei Yangyang's eyes lit up and he said:

"Wonderful! This kind of competition that allows players to become part of the game will definitely attract the participation of many players!"

Zhu Ping'an also clapped his hands and smiled:

"In this way, the renamed fisherman NPC will leave a permanent trace in the game, which will attract not only fishing players, but also most players!"

At eight o'clock that night, Terraria released an update announcement.

The gaming community is in a frenzy over this announcement.

"The Fisherman Titled Championship? Looks like it's time for me to go out!"

"The top of fishing is proud of the world. With me, He Qiang, there will be heaven!"

"Ahhh! Look at me fishing alone for eternity!"

Da Sima was in the live broadcast room. After receiving the news for the first time, he rolled up his sleeves and made bold remarks:

"I just want to catch everyone to death, or be caught to death by you! Wuhu Fishing King applies to compete!"
