Chapter 1608 Escorting the Game "Dimensional Game Adventure"
Father Zhang immediately shook his head, "Games? I'm not interested."
Mother Zhang echoed, "What are we playing games for so late? Let's watch some TV. The drama I was watching is about to reach its finale."
Zhang Yan quickly said, "Let's play for a while before watching TV, it won't take long."
"Besides, even though this game is a puzzle game, it tests your intelligence and skills. Dad, I don't think you're as good as Mom in this area."
Father Zhang was immediately unhappy. "I'm not as good as your mother? Are you kidding me? Your mother has never beaten me in anything that requires brainpower!"
Mother Zhang was also unhappy. "Old man, you just like to spout nonsense. Did you hear that it requires skills? Do you remember the last time I pulled you to dance in the square, and you gave up after five minutes?"
Seeing that the two were not giving way to each other, Zhang Yan felt that the opportunity had come. She quickly opened the exclusive game that came with the game router.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Who's better? Won't we know after playing for five minutes?"
Zhang Yan stirred up trouble on both sides, and as she wished, she quickly started the game.
...
After entering the game, the first thing was a cutscene CG.
It looked like an old-fashioned apartment building from twenty or thirty years ago. A couple and a little boy were eating breakfast at the dining table.
"Dad and Mom have to work overtime this weekend. Take care of yourself at home, understand?"
"Remember to finish your homework. We'll check it when we get back. Also, don't secretly play games!"
The parents repeatedly urged, and the child nodded seriously.
Soon, breakfast was over. The mother quickly cleaned up the dishes and put them in the sink. Then she looked at her watch and realized she was about to be late, so she left the important task of washing the dishes to the child and hurried out the door with the father.
The child spread out his weekend homework on the coffee table and sat on the sofa to study seriously.
The clock on the wall ticked away. More than two hours passed, and the child finally stretched and finished his homework for the day.
He immediately stood up, carried a stool, and secretly took the game console from the high cabinet in his parents' bedroom, connecting it to the TV.
This was an old-fashioned game console that could only play some simple games, but for a child at this time, it was still a novel toy full of infinite temptation and charm.
However, after connecting to the TV this time, a familiar game screen did not appear, but a line of text appeared.
"Do you want to experience truly fun games? Do you want to experience unprecedented happiness?"
The child subconsciously pressed the button. In the next second, a huge vortex appeared and sucked him into the TV.
The clock ticked away, soon reaching six in the evening.
The parents finally got off work and returned home, but when they called the child twice while changing their shoes, they did not get a response.
The two panicked instantly and began searching everywhere.
At this moment, the mother saw the game console in front of the TV and picked up the handle on the ground with some suspicion.
On the TV screen, the game screen seemed to be moving on its own. A little person was fighting bravely against the evil forces in the game!
The mother looked carefully at the TV screen and suddenly felt that this little person looked a bit like her child.
Just as she was about to say something, suddenly, a huge vortex appeared on the TV again, sucking them both in.
The two screamed and fell from the sky, landing on the ground.
But they were surprised to find that they were unharmed.
They had actually turned into cartoon characters in the game, and the surrounding area had become a game world they had never seen before!
...
Zhang Yan secretly observed her parents and found that they did not show too much resistance.
Perhaps saving their child from the clutches of the game gave them some sense of immersion.
Only Father Zhang asked with some confusion, "Are the graphics of the small games that come with this router so good now?"
Although they didn't play games, they could still tell the difference between good and bad picture quality.
Their impression of games was still stuck several years ago, when the game graphics could be said to be full of mosaics, and the entire screen was like small squares pieced together. But now it had reached the level of animated films.
The key was that even puzzle games that came with the router could reach such a level of graphics, which was really a bit surprising.
Zhang Yan quickly explained, "Yes, the development of science and technology is too fast now. Didn't you see that the graphics of my driving games can be so realistic that they can be mistaken for real? That represents the highest level."
"Games with this kind of cartoon style are actually not very demanding on configuration, so even small devices can run them. You can even play this game on your phone, look."
As Zhang Yan spoke, she adjusted it slightly on the phone App, connected the phone to the game router's network, and then pushed the game screen to the phone through the game router.
The two elders found that the game could really run smoothly on the phone, and then they believed what Zhang Yan said.
"The current technology is really progressing by leaps and bounds, developing too fast!" The two elders turned their attention back to the game again, temporarily ignoring this little episode.
The next step was the character selection process: one plays the father, and the other plays the mother.
In fact, more players can join in. Two or three people can jointly control one character, so you can support multiplayer games.
For example, the game "Game Producer" has been transformed into an action-adventure game in which players constantly climb and jump in a huge sandbox to trigger various mechanisms, and these mechanisms will affect the game producer's progress.
In this process, both characters will gain some special superpowers. If three players jointly control a character, one person can control the movement and jumping, while the other two can control two different superpowers, which is equivalent to splitting the mode that originally required one person to operate into three people.
In this way, each person only needs to focus on their own operation, and the two-player game becomes a 4-person or even 6-person game.
Although splitting the operation of each character will reduce the difficulty of the game and weaken some of the fun, this design allows more players to participate in the game and can play a huge role when people gather together.
Moreover, it is necessary to consider that many people are not loyal game players. The operation of moving with the left joystick and adjusting the viewing angle with the right joystick cannot be skillfully used by everyone. If one person's operation is split into three people, the three people cooperate with each other, which can not only reduce the difficulty of operation but also obtain unique cooperative fun.
In addition, multiplayer games also have different gameplay in different game modules. For example, in "Mission Choice," each player can control their own fighter.
However, there are only three people at this time. Zhang Yan also needs to provide guidance in the game and cannot favor anyone, so she uses the most classic two-player mode.
It can be seen that Zhang Yan's parents are complete novices who have never touched a game controller, so they are not very skilled in operating it. Every time a button prompt appears on the screen, they have to look down at the controller and search for a long time before they can find it. There is no way for them to form muscle memory like those skilled players.
They also seemed a little flustered when controlling the perspective.
However, "Dimensional Game Adventure" obviously considered these issues at the beginning of the design.
On the one hand, the system helps to adjust the perspective as much as possible, and helps to adjust the perspective to the appropriate direction during the movement process, minimizing the operation of the novice players pushing the right joystick.
On the other hand, the button functions are unlocked in stages. At the beginning, players only need to press 2 to 3 buttons to complete the task. After similar operations are skilled and muscle memory is formed, more buttons and new abilities are gradually unlocked.
The plot of the game is very simple. After entering the game world, the parents discover clues that their child has been here, and the child has cleared these games and is advancing into the depths of the game world.
In order to get their child back, the parents must cooperate to complete various challenges, step by step, and finally find their child.
In various different levels, the difficulties and problems they encounter are also different, and they need to use their intelligence and cooperate closely to achieve the final goal.
Zhang Yan's parents didn't give way to each other, asking Zhang Yan for help with the operation while using their intelligence to be the first to solve the puzzles in the game.
It has to be said that the game's cartoon style can be said to be suitable for all ages, and this simple and fun puzzle gameplay can quickly immerse people in it, and there will be no situation where other game types are picky about players.
Zhang Yan can feel that her parents can indeed have fun in this game.
If it were other shooting, driving, or AAA action games, her parents probably wouldn't even start the game.
Even if they entered the game, they would probably be persuaded to quit within two or three minutes, because these games are more picky about players, and people of her parents' age are unlikely to have fun in them.
But "Dimensional Game Adventure" is completely different. Although there are many types of games in this game, these games have basically been transformed into independent game units, retaining only the simplest and purest fun of the game.
This is like why some games from large foreign companies look relatively childish but can occupy the living rooms of players all over the world, because the content and gameplay can maximize the needs of different types of players, and can maximize the activation of players' childlike innocence, allowing people to recall the original fun of the game.
The first exclusive escort game of Tengda Game Router, "Dimensional Game Adventure", is obviously also working towards this direction.
