Stardew Valley!

That's right, the special entry project that Gu Sheng prepared for the Mini Game Festival this time is "Stardew Valley", which was known as a masterpiece in his previous life!

Of course.

In this regard, the people of Golden Experience are not aware of it and are even unfamiliar with it.

"This is……?"

As all the members of the gold experience group arrived and looked at the game cover on the big screen, team leader Jiang Yun said with great interest:

"Pixel style?"

The pixel style is of extraordinary significance to the golden style.

I think back then, when Golden Wind was still on a small scale, with a pixel style game, they defeated the small game festival (by the way, they also KOed Jiang Yun’s game).

Therefore, for Jiang Yun, pixel style games are truly a blessing in disguise.

After all, if Golden Wind hadn't killed his fantasy hegemony with Vampire Survivor, there wouldn't have been any secret exchange of votes and rankings later.

If he had not stolen the ranking, he would not have joined Golden Wind and become the team leader of Golden Experience.

But now, when the pixel style mini-game was placed in front of him again, the person at the helm this time became him.

To be honest, this feeling is quite amazing.

Jiang Yun was very interested.

"That's right,"

Gu Sheng nodded:

"A pixel-style role-playing casual game, or...it also has another game classification name that is not particularly professional..."

Stardew Valley.

In theory, it should indeed be considered a role-playing game.

In this game, players will play the role of a young man who was squeezed to the point of collapse by the 996 fortune report. By chance, he received a letter from his grandfather one day.

In the letter, my grandfather wrote: "When you read this letter, you must be in urgent need of a change. A long time ago, the same thing happened to me. I forgot what the most important thing in life is."

...]

Grandpa leaves an abandoned farm to the protagonist, saying it will be the perfect start for the protagonist’s new life.

Therefore, the protagonist finally couldn't stand the dark life of a social animal, so he put on his backpack and came to the small town of Stardew Valley to start his pastoral life.

The overall game is relaxed and interesting. Planting vegetables, fishing, and quarrying are very enjoyable. Moreover, during festivals, unique and interesting activities will be held in the town.

The noisy pressure and sensuality of reinforced concrete seem to have disappeared here.

There are only carrots growing from the soil, truffles scooped out by pigs, sweet and delicious carambola wine, and tidbits from the mayor that make people smile.

As Haizi said in his poem——

Be a happy man from tomorrow on

Feed the horses, chop wood, travel around the world

From tomorrow on, care about food and vegetables

I have a house facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming...

Instead of calling it a "role playing game", Gu Sheng prefers to call it——

"Farming Game."

"Farming game?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun, Kailan and Jiang Shan exchanged looks with each other, obviously not understanding.

To know!

In this world, although there are many game themes and types, there is ultimately one ultimate mission goal that cannot be avoided.

Just like the scores in sports games, the number of kills in shooting games, the rankings in racing games, etc.

Even games like Tetris and Mario, in the final analysis, have a final mission goal——

Eliminate the blocks to accumulate points and pass the difficulties to rescue the princess.

Can "farming"...?

What is the purpose of the game?

Crop growth?

After a crop of crops grows, is the mission completed?

For a moment, the members of the Gold Experience Studio looked at me and me, and they couldn’t understand the gameplay of the “farming game” that Mr. Gu mentioned.

However, among everyone's questioning and doubtful eyes, Gu Sheng's answer was even more shocking:

"The purpose of this game...is that there is no purpose."

Say it.

Gu Sheng thought for a while, then shrugged and smiled:

"In other words, the ultimate goal of this game is to make players feel relaxed and live a good life."

The joy of spring planting and autumn harvest can be the purpose of the game.

Fish kings all year round can be game purposes.

Medals for various activities can be used for game purposes.

Mine Expedition combat can also be a game purpose.

Our purpose is to have no purpose.

Because life has never been judged by scores and rankings.

Of course! The number of kills is even worse!

Perhaps in real life, we are unable to live the salty life we ​​want due to such reasons.

But in the game, Golden Wind is willing to provide everyone with such a spiritual harbor, which can heal the painful and tired souls and give players a slight pause in their lives.

This is the charm of farming games.

Wow--

After listening to Mr. Gu's words, the employees of Golden Experience couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Our president is really good at talking.

He really knows how to stir up players' nerves.

These simple words were like Zenyatta's ultimate move, making people "feel peaceful" on the spot.

The key is!

Think about it like a CEO, you can go home after work, hold the handle and plant flowers, raise grass, feed the chickens, pet the sheep, and say hello to the neighbors.

Even if it’s just fishing as the sun sets.

Thinking about it, it seems to be a good experience indeed.

There is a feeling that is both boring and fun.

After all, no one has made a game like this before.

Don’t say you’ve never done it before, you’ve never heard of it!

But then again!

Such a small pixel-style game will probably not cost much in the end. At most, 1.5 million dollars will be enough.

After all, the cost of Plants vs. Zombies is only $1.15 million.

The production costs of these two games are estimated to be quite different.

Think of this!

I saw the designers of the Gold Experience looking at each other, and then they all smiled and nodded:

"Then leave it to us!"

A small leisure project!

It is perfect to hand it over to the Golden Experience Studio at this time.

After all, they had been busy for more than half a year before this, working hard on the global hit "Overwatch".

Nowadays, playing a small game can be regarded as a change of vacation.

Moreover, Gu Sheng did not have high expectations for the sales of "Stardew Valley".

Yes.
