Leon pointed out the blind spot in Sui Xiong's thinking.
Since he pursued realism so much, he finally designed a game that, although the graphics were a little crude, the game content was already amazingly rich and realistic. Then, this game could be used to popularize basic knowledge for low-level adventurers or soldiers.
This was just like the driving games on Earth, which pursued realism, could really be used to popularize some basic driving knowledge for people who didn't know anything.
A qualified adventurer needed a lot of knowledge, and naturally, a lot of it had to be mastered through practice. But if it was only used to popularize written knowledge, this game was enough.
So, as Leon said, this game was not just a game. As long as the physical attributes of the characters were linked to the attributes of the players, it could directly be used as a simple training material. And as long as it was slightly modified, it would also be very easy to use it to train some common sense for soldiers.
Sui Xiong really hadn't thought of these things before.
So when Leon pointed out this point, he was a little confused.
He had worked so hard to design and test for so long, and in the end, it was used to popularize science for adventurers?
So Sui Xiong fell into a dilemma.
Due to personal reasons, he abhorred the phrase "education through fun". In his opinion, entertainment was entertainment. It was enough for people to relax, relieve pressure, and get spiritual satisfaction. If education was added to entertainment, it would be the same as adding odd-tasting beans to a drink, or simply adding the legendary Laoshan White Flower Snake Grass Water. There were naturally people who liked it, but most people avoided it like the plague.
He thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed deeply. He began to modify the game.
The content that was too realistic was deleted, the content that was too complicated was deleted, and the content that was too difficult was deleted. In the end, what was left was a simple and clear small-scale adventure game.
In this game, the player still played the role of an adventurer, but all the actions were simplified into options, and there was no room for freedom. He could only choose some fixed locations in the town and choose some fixed instructions in each location, and it was the same in battles.
Even though there were still quite a number of instructions, which formed quite a lot of puzzle-solving and combat content, coupled with many monster designs and scenery designs, the game was still quite rich in content. However, compared to the original game that had a high degree of freedom, rich content, and high degree of realism, it was a world of difference.
This modification process took Sui almost a month, and he spent a lot of energy. When the new version of the game was finally released, he was a little gray.
However, his hard work paid off. This new version of the game received unanimous praise from the players. As long as one was literate, he or she found the game very interesting. The various quests and adventures in the game made one's imagination run wild. There were even some who "tested" the game for more than 40 hours in one go and finally fell asleep on the computer.
Sui Xiong laughed in his heart, but he pretended to be serious and added an anti-addiction setting to the game.
Every player could only play for a maximum of eight hours a day!
If it was on Earth, those who dared to do this would most likely be beaten to death by their peers in the industry, and they would also be praised by the "relevant departments". However, in this world, Sui Xiong did not have to compete with him, and there was no relevant department above his head to control him. He could design and operate as he wanted.
This was the extreme of "being rich and capricious". However, because the players had not touched other games at all, they did not understand how unconventional and insane his anti-addiction design was, and they all expressed their support.
Seeing this, Sui Xiong could not help but look up to the sky and laugh three times. He was very proud of himself, and he had the carefree feeling of "today I finally have a clear mind."
However, he did not feel happy for a few days before he began to get busy again.
According to the suggestions of the players, he decided to develop a voice version of the game — not to add voices for the monsters, but to add voices for the various hints and introductions in the game.
There were too few literate people in this world. As a sincere game designer, Sui Xiong felt that it was necessary for ordinary people who could not read to be able to enjoy the game he designed.
Therefore, voice hints and voice introductions were necessary.
Fortunately, it did not take much effort. After a few days, he finished the voice system.
When the "game that could be enjoyed by illiterate people" began to be tested, it could be said that it was an unprecedented grand occasion.
After several tests, the workers in the amusement park and the nearby residents had long known the existence of this wonderful game. However, for most of the civilians, this was still very far away from them. Just the fact that they needed to be literate was a huge threshold that they could not overcome.
In this world, the entertainment enjoyed by illiterate civilians was very little. They could not understand the menu in the restaurant, could not understand the signage in the pub, and could not integrate into the atmosphere in the opera house. Their spiritual life was abnormally empty.
As the lower class of society, they could not see opportunities. They could only live simply and mechanically every day, like an insignificant cog in the huge machine of "society." Most of them could not get a sense of satisfaction from labor, so their lives became more and more empty.
They needed entertainment!
And the voice version of "Snake Mountain Adventure" launched by Sui Xiong could just meet their requirements — the content was simple, all voice instructions, and even illiterate people could easily learn to operate.
After the first few commoners took the test, they quickly became addicted to it. Then, somehow, the news spread, and more and more people came to take the test. In the end, there was even a line of a few miles long. If it weren't for the fact that there were many people in the amusement park who could maintain order, they would have already started fighting.
Sui Xiong was shocked and hurriedly increased the number of computers. He built 200 computers in one go, but it still could not meet the needs of the residents around the amusement park.
"This is the contradiction between the backward productivity and the increasing material and spiritual needs of the masses!" Looking at the long line on the ground under his feet, Sui Xiong, who was flying in the air, sighed deeply.
He planned to add more computers, but on second thought, he felt that it was not necessary.
The needs of the masses were endless, unless he achieved something that could not be achieved on the earth, which was to give everyone a computer.
That was absolutely impossible. He did not have so much power to squander.
In view of this, he changed his thinking and proposed a registration and queuing system.
Everyone who wanted to experience the game could register and queue in front of a dedicated computer. Then they would receive a crystal. This crystal had no other purpose except to tell them how long it would take before their turn to test.
This simple and clear method solved the problem of the queue leader, and the players received their own queuing crystal. Those who needed to queue for a shorter time still waited, but those who needed to queue for a longer time left to do what they originally wanted to do.
So this small disturbance was settled. Soon after, Sui Xiong was surprised to find that the number of people in the territory who could read increased rapidly.
The reason was simple. Even the voice version of the game also had text. Many people in the game, through the comparison of voice and text, learned some of the commonly used menu words.
This could be considered as unintentionally planting a willow tree in the shade …
After Sui Xiong investigated the reason, he could not help but laugh.
For the first time in his life, he felt that "education through fun" actually made some sense!
