Entertainment: My Game Life

"Is it worth it?"

This sentence appeared in "The Age of Ice Vapor".

This is a strategy simulation survival game. Whether it is design or gameplay, you can feel the sincerity of the game designer.

This is also a dystopian strategy simulation survival game.

This game is a bit more comfortable to play in the simulated city compared to "I am the mayor of the simulated city".

At least the rhythm of the game in the simulated city is to develop the city, the colors used in the game look brighter, not realistic, and the mood will be much more joyful in the game experience.

As for the game "Age of Ice and Vapor", his game atmosphere is extremely depressing, and sometimes there is a feeling of breathlessness.

Various environmental problems will appear from time to time in the game, full of moral choices and life torture, which are used to highlight the core of the game.

The intention of the game is good.

But the only place that failed in the end was the last sentence.

"Is it worth it?"

The background of the game "Age of Ice and Steam" is set in an overhead steampunk world in 1886.

Not long after the industrial revolution, it ushered in a catastrophe.

Due to the eruption of the volcano, a large amount of dust is produced, which rises into the air to form a dust cloud, blocking the sun's rays.

The entire earth entered an ice age, and an extremely cold weather struck.

This catastrophe almost destroyed human civilization. In the difficult environment of one hundred degrees below zero, it is difficult for human beings to survive this disaster.

There is no hope of life.

Just like the dinosaurs of the last century, they did not escape the disaster and disappeared on this land.

Fortunately, there was the foundation of the industrial revolution before, which allowed people to struggle in the extreme weather of Baidu below zero, and strive to survive, instead of nothing.

It is under such conditions that the player will act as the manager.

Build the last city in the world and struggle to survive this catastrophe.

In this extremely cold weather with one hundred degrees below Baidu, the first thing that must be solved for survival is to protect people from freezing to death.

And the only thing you can rely on.

It is a big black-tech boiler abandoned by others.

This **** technology boiler can provide heating for the entire city and provide the basic temperature that can ensure people's survival.

Therefore, the **** technology boiler must be kept running at all times.

As long as it stops, the extreme cold weather of Baidu Baidu will instantly take the lives of all players.

It seems that in such an environment, the ideal situation is to work together to survive.

After all, in the doomsday disaster, it is not easy to live. Everyone should tighten their belts and live together.

But this is a dystopian simulation business game.

The content you find incredible does exist in the game.

After all, haven’t we just experienced a similar situation before?

Take a look at how it is done abroad, and think about it this way, and you will understand that this is indeed in line with this situation.

This group of unsophisticated people will feel dissatisfied for various reasons.

The end is approaching, and you want workers to work more and spend a little more labor time for their families.

Prevent the big boiler from stopping, prevent the boiler from running out of fuel, in short, make more efforts to survive.

But they are only willing to work for eight hours.

Even if it's the end.

They are also thinking about working eight hours a day.

If you say these eight hours, hard work is justified.

There are even workers who are fishing and messing around while working.

This is a bit unacceptable.

Moreover, even if you let this group of residents eat and wear warmth, they will still be dissatisfied with some trivial things.

They are almost starving to death. Give them soup and they will feel dissatisfied.

A city of hundreds of people.

People's hearts are still not unified, and there are still people who engage in divisions and play infighting.

I can't live anymore, and there are still people doing things. Is this still a human thing?

Does this happen in reality?

In fact, it still exists.

Chongzhen begged these ministers to come out with a little money to raise military expenses for the war.

In order to raise money, even the emperor's dignity was put down.

But this group of ministers, hundreds of thousands of dollars in the family, only gave the emperor a few hundred taels of silver.

The most powerful person was Zhou Kui, the old father-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen. As a result, Zhou Kui found his daughter and got five thousand taels, but he changed hands and donated three thousand taels.

In the end, Li Zicheng attacked the capital, roasting a total of more than 500,000 taels of silver from Zhou Kui.

Fang Yuan looked at this period of history and didn't know what to say.

When people's hearts are scattered, the team can't go on.

In "Age of Ice and Vapor", when these gangsters are dissatisfied with you to a certain level, the masses will force the palace.

If players cannot improve their problems within a limited time, then you will be pushed to the guillotine or exiled to the wasteland to fend for themselves.

In addition to the dissatisfaction value, there is also the corresponding hope value and the code.

Players have to keep giving hope to these unsophisticated people to survive, such as opening an arena, a tavern, and so on.

Increase the hope value of Diao Min by consuming resources.

But into the middle of the game.

Players and Diaomin will know that their city is the only settlement in the Arctic.

The crowd will suddenly panic.

As a leader, you are faced with two choices at this time, order and faith.

Choose one of them as the new social system and let the city continue.

In fact, there is not much difference between these two options.

All to overcome the current difficulties and allow more people to survive.

When you put a lot of effort into the game, relying on your own dictatorship, more than five hundred people survived.

You will see the problem that the game puts aside at the end,

"Is it worth it?"

This is not only a mockery of the players' efforts, but also an inquiry about the character ‘crossing the boundary’ in the game.

Because these choices are conflicts on some levels,

Can imagine.

When these players saw such a sentence, how angry they would be.

"I have paid so much, it is not for you to stand on the highest point of morality and point me at the end."

"Why do you torture my morals."

"I have put in so much effort, why can you deny my effort in one sentence."

......

Of course, there are naturally advanced players mixed in.

This group of technology streamers will not face this question. According to them, video game cooking is the original sin.

When they play this game, all they encounter are moved.

Some citizens want to work more with their original intention, even if the coal mine is frozen in the severe cold, some citizens are willing to risk their lives to go down to make repairs.

But you looked at the pile of inexhaustible coal, shook your head and rejected their request.

And let them go home and have a good rest, eat more meat and drink less soup.

Because they have endless food, the soup is just for seasoning.

The labor force is sufficient, and there is no need for children to go to work, and fishing at work is acceptable.

My own city is a paradise in the last days.

But most of them are ordinary players and will encounter such inquiries.

"We crossed the line"

"Order was abused, and the city did not die"

"But is it worth it?"
