Stardew Valley's graphics are definitely typical of low-quality games, but such games are very easy to indulge.
But those who have played this game will not be able to resist the temptation to farm crazy day by day.
Every day is a node, which will make people subconsciously feel that it is perfect after playing today, and if you give up halfway, it is equivalent to giving up halfway.
In this way, the work of farming and mining is repeated every day, which is more difficult than going to work, but people still enjoy it.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for these people to be so fascinated by just farming and mining, let alone to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. In addition to farming, this game has some additional gameplay.
Hold festivals and increase favorability with the people around you. When a certain favorability is reached, different characters will begin to bring some help to the protagonist or advance the plot.
In Tokyo, in the game evaluation company founded by Murakami, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning, but the office was very deserted. Only a building cleaner who looked fifty years old was cleaning the company.
"It's been the third day, isn't this company about to close down?" The
cleaner stood in the aisle of the office area and looked around in confusion.
About three days ago, the employees of this company suddenly came very late. If it was a normal company boss, he would definitely be furious, and let these employees understand the laws of society.
But the boss of this company is a young man. Instead of reprimanding these late employees, he took the lead in not coming to work, and directly gave the employees a day off. This is the first time this cleaner has seen such a thing in his life.
However, after the day off, the employees still didn't show up.
Then came the third day, and today these employees haven't come.
This made the cleaners wonder if the company was ready to go out of business.
It's no wonder that this company usually doesn't seem to have the seriousness that a company should have. Instead, it's very casual. The employees don't dress uniformly, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is still very harmonious. consciously, such a very undisciplined company will certainly not live long.
The cleaner sighed, then simply cleaned the office area and prepared to go to the next company office area.
In fact, instead of showing any signs of bankruptcy, this company is getting better and better as the game industry grows.
With the support of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, the professionalism of this evaluation media has always been very recognized. Perhaps this growth rate will be very slow, and its performance will not be as profitable as those evaluation agencies that randomly accept advertisements, but they can support a dozen or so. It's definitely okay for editing to make a small profit.
Murakami is not the kind of person who has great ambitions for asset expansion, which makes his employees look like they don't even look like employees, but rather like homeless people.
And why has no one come to the company for the past two or three days?
For no other reason, they're all playing Stardew Valley.
These people who are constantly exposed to the cutting-edge content of video games are also the most easily captured by video games.
When they recognize a game from the bottom of their hearts, it will get out of hand.
On the fifth day, the old cleaner who was in charge of cleaning the building almost thought that the company was going bankrupt, and he finally saw a few young employees dragging their tired bodies to the company.
"You... what did you do?" The
old cleaner was very surprised. These people obviously didn't come to work, but they all looked bad. What did they do?
Could it be that they have found new jobs and are still working very hard?
"Ah, good morning, uncle, we are coming to work. We are really exhausted these two days. If I don't come to work again, I am worried that I will die suddenly."
An employee who also came to work next to him nodded in approval and said: " That's right, this is probably the craziest few days in my life, and I even feel like I can keep playing like this forever." The
old cleaner naturally didn't understand what was going on, but listening to these young people, it seemed like a company It did not close down, and it was at this time that Murakami finally appeared.
Even if Murakami is young enough, he looks a lot haggard at this moment, but there is still a light of excitement in his eyes.
"Good morning, everyone."
"Good morning Murakami-senpai... Ah, Murakami-senpai, you don't seem to be in particularly good condition."
Murakami turned his head to look at the other party, smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you look the same? ?"
In the history of playing games for almost ten years, Murakami has not been so addicted to a game for a long time.
Obviously, this game doesn't have very good graphics. This should be the kind of junk graphics game that was eliminated a few years ago, but it still has a different kind of charm.
And when he saw that several of his employees could play Stardew Valley for several days, he finally confirmed one thing.
That is, my previous views on video games are probably a bit superficial.
Maybe video games don't rely entirely on graphics to win, nor do they rely entirely on so-called big productions. Look at this video game released by only one mysterious man. He suddenly found a long-lost game from this poor graphics quality. fun of.
I never thought that farming and mining could be so fun every day.
But the game is just something to make him happy after all, but it is definitely not the whole of life. After staying up late for a few days and playing Stardew Valley for a long time, he decided to return to the company, and he also contacted by phone own employees, ready to officially start a new job.
After a few days, he has already thought about what to do with his first job, which is to write a review article on Stardew Valley.
This time he will write it himself.
At the same time, he also became more interested in the former mysterious benefactor, Nintendo, who was the master of the world.
After so many years, he has no channel to contact this mysterious benefactor, so what has the other party experienced over the years, and what kind of idea did he develop such a game.
It can be said that this game is almost impeccable except for the relatively retro-looking picture quality.
In the company, he greeted employees who looked a little haggard like him all the way, and then came to the desk and opened the text editing software.
In the past, when he wrote some game review articles, he used some conventional words, and then made some simple judgments.
And this time, he didn't have any of the conventional words and phrases that he used to use before, and all he thought of was his love for Stardew Valley.
So, he couldn't help but type a series of titles: 'An electronic farm that makes people linger, a video game that you will never regret'
