Game Designers: You Don’t Understand Charity

  As the sun went down, a group of well-dressed students came out from a certain school gate with laughter.

   "Haha, Penguin's "Fantasy Island" is about to open today. I have been waiting for a long time."

   "Penguin is really enlightened. I have long been tired of playing those simulated simulation games before. This time the fantasy world has filled my sense of anticipation!"

   "I ordered the public beta version of the game on the day I finished the internal beta, hehe."

   "Hey~ come prepared, how about playing together then?"

   "Okay! I will greet everyone in the group then."

   "Are you together, Fang He?"

  The conversation got to the point where the student who started the conversation before turned around and casually asked a young man who bowed his head and said nothing at the end of the line.

   "I'll forget it, you guys play."

   Forced to squeeze out a smile, Fang He, whose school uniform was slightly worn, replied bluntly.

   "Oh, forget it."

  As if realizing that he said something that shouldn't be said, the boy who asked the question shrugged and continued to chat with his partner.

   Came to a section of branch road, several people separated from the crowd, each went to the way home, Fang He was also in it.

   Watching Fang He go away, the crowd where the young man was was just became active again, and there was a sound of ridicule.

   "I said you just asked Fang He what he was doing, not to mention VR equipment, his family's conditions, probably can't even afford a VR game."

   "This poor boy insists on coming to our key high school. He buys second-hand school uniforms. I don't know if it's ridiculous or pitiful."

   "Stop talking, everyone has their own situation."

  Fang He, who was far away, naturally couldn't hear the discussion, but he didn't care too much if he heard it.

   After all, he had heard enough of such words in school.

"Ugh"

   With a long sigh, Fang He stopped in front of an Internet cafe on the way home.

  It’s the end of school time, and through the window, you can see many teenagers and their friends excitedly wearing the devices and enjoying those vr games together.

  Internet cafes in this era are not too popular, but there are some things to do.

   Some people like to experience VR equipment in the comfort of home, but others like to play with friends.

   Consumers who enter Internet cafes can more or less afford it.

   It's just that Fang He couldn't play even if he brought a VR device without purchasing those buyout vr games.

   On the market, no matter how **** vr games are, you have to spend money to buy them. This is common sense.

  And one can imagine how bad those third-rate vr games are.

   In the past, Fang He would happily spend most of the day playing on a low-quality VR that he had worked so hard to save money to buy.

  Under the influence of his peers, Fang He has long since lost that interest.

  Looking at the gorgeous promotional poster of "Fantasy Island" in front of the Internet cafe, Fang He remained silent.

  Turning around and about to leave, a rough voice sounded from behind.

   "It's finally here! Brothers, I invited you today, let's all have a good time in "Fantasy Island"!"

   "Crazy young man! Hahaha, come, let's sit in an Internet cafe ten times in a row!"

   "Crazy young and mighty!"

   "Crazy less stream batch!"

  Pleasant cheers rang out, Fang He turned his head, and it turned out to be a rather wealthy young man among the student group, "treating guests" boldly.

  Looking at the uniform on his body, he is from the same school as himself.

   "Boss, get on the plane!"

  Under the sound of chaotic footsteps, everyone stepped into the Internet cafe.

  At this time, as if someone thought of something, he raised his mouth casually.

   "By the way, isn't there a free computer game that will be launched at the same time today? I wonder if it's true?"

   "It's a hammer, a free game? You think someone is doing charity!"

   Laughing and cursing sounded, and the topic was quickly submerged.

   Fang He's footsteps, which were gradually going away, paused, his eyes brightened slightly.

   "Free Games."

  Affected by the school environment, Fang He had heard about this incident before, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

   "Or."

   Feeling uneasy, he looked around to confirm that no acquaintances were nearby, Fang He turned around and slipped into the Internet cafe.

  The noisy crowd before had disappeared.

   Walking slowly to the front desk, the boss's familiar voice came.

   "The vr table is 50 yuan/hour, and the computer table is 10 yuan/hour. How long will it take?"

   "Uh computer desk, one hour!"

   Slapping a crumpled ten-yuan note on the counter, Fang He said nervously.

   Glancing at Fang He, the boss said impatiently.

   "Unit 4, the row on the far right, don't go wrong."

  Excited, Fang He didn't care, he quickly found his seat, and clicked on the official website of Fengyun Studio.

  On the newly changed official website interface, a game called "Rainbow Island" has appeared.

   "It's really free."

  After repeated confirmation, Fang He raised his head with a look of disbelief.

"Try it."

  Click to download directly. With the powerful addition of 5G network, the game installation is completed in less than a minute, and the registration interface pops up.

   "Wow~! I love you~!"

  The uncut opening sound effects popped out of the earphones, and Fang He was startled by the sweet female voice.

  This opening remark, which has been criticized by countless generations of Rainbow Island players, can be said to be a major symbol of the game. Some people said that they died on the spot, and some people got better the more they listened.

   His face was flushed, and after confirming that no one else noticed, Fang He covered the earphones more tightly.

   "This music, is it really nice?"

   Before the game officially started, "Rainbow Island" gave Fang He a small surprise.

  Fang He still understands the principle that you get what you pay for. The melodious music, soft and cute voice, and exquisite Q-version illustrations, this doesn't look like a bad game.

  Switch to the official website that has not been closed, and look at the well-organized game background information on the official website, which is obviously more detailed than those expansion packs of the vr masterpieces.

   Involuntarily, Fang He felt a little more fond of this game in his heart, and concentrated on it.

   "Is it to create a character at the beginning? What should I choose?"

  After all, he is a boy, so Fang He's attention was immediately focused on those eccentric occupations.

  The characters in the exquisite Q version are cute and heroic at the same time, which really makes Fang He look forward to it.

   "Let's choose this fighter first."

  Guided by the easy-to-use interface, Fang He quickly created a male warrior.

   Immediately after the gorgeous world view unfolded and the novice tutorial, Fang He came to the novice village on Rainbow Island.

   "This is the birthplace of Bellos, our journey starts from here to find a girl who carries the hope of mankind—Alice"

   Soon, Fang He fell into this fascinating and exquisite design.

   As a major feature of the horizontal version of the game, players will not miss any scenery along the way.

  Farewell to the village chief Xia Nuo in the simple and honest Belos, and Fang He, who received the task, walked all the way to the wild along the beautiful city and started the journey of killing monsters.

  Familiar with the few skills in the early stage, pondering the combo, and fighting with sister Totoro, Fang He's level has risen rapidly.

  Time passed unknowingly.

   "This game is too fun!" Fang He sat at the computer desk, smiling silly.

   "What's wrong? Young Master Long? Isn't this game fun?"

  On the other side of the Internet cafe, seeing Su Kuang who suddenly took off the VR device and stood up, his companions were surprised.

   "No, you guys play first, and I'll get some food."

  Waved his hands, Su Kuang walked towards the front desk regardless of his companions immersed in "Fantasy Island".

   I have to say that the idea of ​​Fantasy Island is really good, and the refreshing VR scene makes the companions hooked.

   It’s just that, for Su Kuang who has played too many vr masterpieces, that’s all.

  Although it is novel and interesting, the stereotyped simulation VR games on the market have made Su Kuang lose the enthusiasm he once had for games.

  Now what he enjoys is nothing more than the fun of playing with his friends.

  Bringing some snacks from the front desk, Su Kuang was about to go back, but the computer area at the corner of the Internet cafe caught his attention.

  Compared with the vr area, most of the Internet cafes visiting the computer area are social animals who need to work overtime temporarily, which seems extremely deserted.

  Just at this time, there was a teenager typing on the keyboard in front of the computer, and bright colors flashed on the screen.

   "Is that a game?" Su Kuang walked over there out of curiosity.

   Without disturbing Fang He, Su Kuang stood silently behind him, watching secretly.

   From this point of view, it was half an hour.

   "Phew, it's really cool." Fang He reluctantly took off his earphones under the reminder pop-up window that the time on the plane had run out.

   "According to this progress, I will be able to arrive at Elias tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it."

   Standing up and seeing Su Kuang suddenly appearing behind him, Fang He was startled.

   Isn't this the Kuo Shao you saw at the door just now?

  The body trembled with excitement, as if waking up from a dream, Su Kuang suddenly pressed Fang He's shoulder forcefully, speaking in a hurry.

   "Student, what's the name of your game?"

   "Please Amway!"
