How can a game be called fun?
There are many answers to this question. Harvey thinks that the first one depends on the quality of the game itself. The second one depends on the players. There is a popular saying that "a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their eyes". A thousand people will have different feelings when they play the same game. The third one depends on the partners who play the game together.
Harvey has played a lot of so-called 3A level games. However, there are many games with beautiful pictures, novel playing methods and interesting plots that can't attract him to continue to play. On the contrary, he still clearly remembers playing those games like "sourdough", "battle of squirrels", "hot blood series" and "Tetris" when he was a child, even though the playing methods of these games are the same, There are only up and down, left and right buttons and four buttons on the game handle. He can still enjoy playing with his little friends for several years.
At that time, compared with the game, the key is to play with a partner. Even if the game is monotonous, as long as there is a partner, it is a fun game.
Any game, as long as you put together these three elements, can be called a masterpiece. Weighing these three elements will result in three completely different types of games. Naturally, 3A level masterpiece is the most important one. Fans who value the next day are fans of the game. Many who value the third point are also called social games.
The alien version of little overlord created by Harvey is basically a high-quality game. It's easy to play and has high fun. It's very suitable for playing with friends. In addition, the multiplayer competition system developed by Harvey based on decades of game experience makes the gameplay of the game get a qualitative leap. Such a game console has never experienced the fun of the game in the world. In the hands of a group of goblins with strong curiosity and playfulness, what role can it play?
Harvey's three conditions are magnified infinitely. If the conditions are placed in modern times, it is equivalent to players suddenly playing the real sense of holographic simulation game. Players can experience the cruelty of modern war, indulge in vivid and interesting RPG Games, and also choose to join in the fight of wisdom and courage between fire and undead.
In the world where there is no concept of game, modern game and black technology level holographic simulation technology appear.
The results are almost the same.

Helen, the diamond goblin, did not realize the seriousness of the situation. She introduced the rules of the game to her partner with a smile: "the operation and rules are very simple. First of all, Tetris. There are many game modes in this game. I prefer props games. When I play with lily, I feel very interesting. Lily is the little girl I am taking care of in that world now."
"Let's start with the classic pattern. Do you see these squares? When these blocks fall to the bottom, they will be connected into a line and there will be no vacancy, because the falling time of the blocks will speed up with the game time, which is quite difficult. Ah ~ by the way, you can press the down direction key to speed up the falling speed of the box. This game can be played by many people. "
Many goblins open their eyes and exclaim: "Oh ~!"
······
In an hour
"Well, I won't be needed so soon." Helen, the diamond goblin, sat awkwardly looking at the scene in front of her.
When she first came into contact with "Tetris", she spent more than half a day to get used to the operation. Obviously, her game talent is not good among gem goblins. Now four gem goblins with different colors of hair sit in front of the metal box, and control the game handle with fingers as dexterous as a butterfly.
The screen shows the four person competition mode of "Tetris".
Many goblins form a semicircle, the space is very crowded, but they do not mind looking at the game screen, sometimes scream.
"Right! It's better to put that square on the right
"Don't listen to her, just put it in the middle, the next square is a vertical one! It's just going to get rid of it all! "
"Ah, the falling speed has increased again!"
The watching Amethyst goblin helplessly supported his forehead: "it's just a game, what's fun."
"In fact, it's quite interesting. Would you like to try Amethyst?" Helen chuckled.
The Amethyst goblin looked at the projection and hummed, "it's not impossible, so I'll try."
······
Two hours later
"Amethyst! You've been playing for more than an hour. It's almost our turn! " The ruby goblin stares at the Amethyst goblin who is playing all the time.
The goblins agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"We want to play too. You've been playing since."
The Amethyst goblin stared at the projection picture and did not dare to be distracted. He skillfully controlled the handle and whispered, "I haven't lost yet! This time! This time I must get 100000 points! Break the record
The ruby goblin smiles, embraces Amethyst from behind, and adds a mouthful to her face.
"What are you doing?" The Amethyst goblin turns his head in fury.
“GAME-OVER!” The distraction of Amethyst goblins directly causes the high-speed falling blocks to pile up and touch the top.
Ruby goblin a show hand: "this next you lose."
"I have reached 90000, just a little bit, just a little bit, you guy!" As soon as the Amethyst goblin's face turned black, he stretched out his hand and condensed countless Amethyst Gemstone javelins in mid air.
Helen, sitting on one side, looked at the fierce fight and didn't know how to dissuade her, but said, "don't rob ~"
······
In three hours
Half of the gem goblins living in this huge castle have been gathered in the back hall of the castle, and half of the rooms have been filled.
"Don't squeeze."
"Let me pass. I'll see it, too."
"What's fun? I want to play, too
"Ah, my hand is broken!"
There is no order of the goblins are pushing forward, many low hardness body goblins directly crushed.
Helen reluctantly explained the rules of the game: "it's prop game mode now! Whoever can hold on to the end wins! "
"Props game!"
"Oh, finally, obsidian, let's work together to eliminate the others, so that we can continue to play."
"Agreed."
After a while!
"Ah! Obsidian, you bastard! Why use ink on me! I can't see it, ah
"Crystal out, change one."
"Crystal! Sorry, there are no friends but enemies in the game
The game box brought back by Helen attracts more and more goblins. In order to settle the dispute, the elimination game mode is adopted. Whoever loses will be eliminated and replaced by a registered goblin. The metal game box will break the quiet life of the goblin. Feeling that the situation is out of control, Helen suddenly regretted bringing this thing back to the goblin town.
······
Four hours later
"Why is that so... For the first time, I have a game I like and a companion who can play games together. The two kinds of happiness coincide with each other, and these two kinds of happiness bring me more happiness. What she got was supposed to be a happy time like a dream... But why? Helen's face was very complicated. Looking at what happened in the back hall, in just half a day, there were many scenes she didn't want to see.
Quarrel, betrayal, overturn the boat of friendship, which is completely opposite to the feeling that she and Lily play the game together. She and Lily play the game together, winning and losing, but everyone is very happy.
This should be the world's pure biological goblin, now has become as "stupid and ugly" as human beings.
"Boom!" There was another loud noise outside. The strong wind blew the curtains open. You can see that the tower of a castle is falling. Dozens of meteors of different colors are colliding in the sky.
Not only in the back hall, the whole castle was in turmoil, and the screams of different gem goblins were heard from time to time.
"Agate! This is revenge for the bomb you just gave me
"And the face! It's just that you don't play well. "
"Spinel, you just knocked me out with props! This is my last emerald spray
······
More than half a day later, the goblin Castle seems to have been bombed by countless spells and turned into ruins.
"I'll go back first. Don't break the game console."
Helen stood up disappointed and looked at the scene in front of her. She didn't know which goblin overturned the roof of the back hall. Obsidian arranged a layer of black crystal shield to prevent the light from entering. The back hall is quiet. The goblins concentrate on playing or watching games. The place outside the back hall becomes the battlefield of goblins.
The beautiful and magnificent castle in the past has become ruins. There are constantly gem goblins fighting. There are constantly gem goblins falling into a sleeping state. All these are caused by the metal box that Helen came back from. For the Goblins who lack self-control, the game made by Harvey is a Pandora's box. Goblins become impulsive in order to fight for the right to play.
Even Helen had no way to deal with this scene. Dissuasion was a waste of words. She sighed and comforted herself: "after a period of time, their enthusiasm for the game will be restored."
