THIS LESSON PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE
THEMS OF PYSCHOLOGY REGARDING THECONCEPT
OF "SELF"
Cognitive psychology- concerned with mental
processes [as perception, thinking, learning, and
memory] especially with respect to the internal
events occurring between sensing and the expression
of behaviour.
Cognition- the mental processes involved in gaining
knowledge &amp; comprehension. It includes thinking,
knowing, remembering, judging and problem-solving.
These are higher-level functions of the brain and
encompass language, imagination, perception, and
planning.
In psychology- the self is defined as "the sense of
personal identity and of who we are as individuals."
William James [1890] conceptualized the self as:
"I"- the thinking, acting, and feeling self.
"Me"- the physical characteristics, capabilities
In Carl Roger' [1915] Theory of Personality:
"I" – the one who acts and decides
"Me"- what you think or feel about yourself
Another concept of the self is IDENTITY/SELF-
CONCEPT:
Identity/ self-concept - composed of personal
characteristics, social, roles, responsibilities.
-it is what comes to your mind when asked about
who you are.
-it is not fixed in one time frame
Rogers captured this idea in his concept as SELF-
SCHEMA, our organized system or collection of
knowledge about who we are. The self-schema
includes your hobbies, family, religion, nationality,
interest, work, course, age name, etc.
As you grow and adapt to the changes around you,
they also change
They actively shape and effect how you see, think,
and feel, about things.
Psychological theories see the self and identity as
mental constructs, created, and recreated in
memory. Current researches point to the frontal lobe
of the brain as the area associated with processes
concerning the self.
One influential psychologist of our generation is
Sigmund Freud, he sees the self and the mind as a
result of interaction between these 3 parts:
Id- the instinctual part of the mind that contains
sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories. It
is selfish and wishful in nature. Illogical and fantasy
oriented.
Ego- the realistic part that mediates between the
desires of their and the super-ego. Modified by the
direct influence of the external world. The decision-
making component of personality.
Superego - operates as a moral conscience. Applies
the values of society which are learned from one's
parents and others.
The theory of Symbolic Interactionism [G.H Mead]
argues that the self is created &amp; developed through
human interaction. We are social products because:
1. We do not create ourselves out of nothing
2. We need others to affirm and rein force who
we think we are.
3. What's important to us is influenced by our
social/historical context.
When we are aware of our self concepts, that is
called SELF-AWARENESS .The 2 types of self we can
be aware of are:
1. The private self- your internal private thoughts and
feelings
2. The public self/image- geared to having a good
presentation of yourself to others.
-Carver &amp; Scheier [1981]
Self awareness presents us three other self- schema:
1. Actual self- who you are the moment
2. Ideal self- who you like to be
3. Ought self – who you think you should be
[responsibilities, etc]
Self-awareness can be positive or negative
At the other times, we may experience "loss of
individual self- awareness and accountability in
groups. A lot of people attune themselves with the
emotions of their group .Being in large crowd may
lessen our self-control.
Social relationship affect our self –esteem through
social comparison. In this theory, we learn about
ourselves, the appropriateness of our behaviours ,as
well as our status, by comparing ourselves to other
people.
Downward Social Comparison- is a common type of
comparing ourselves to others. We create a positive
self – concept by comparing ourselves with those
who are WORSE than us.
Upward Social Comparison- is comparing ourselves
with those who are better than us. It can be
MOTIVATION for some, but it could also LOWER
YOUR SELF -ESTEEM because it shows your
weaknesses.
These also occur not only in individuals but also in
groups.
Social comparison is connected to the self
–evaluation maintenance theory , states that we
feel THREATENED when someone out-performs us,
or does better than us. Especially when that person is
close peer/partner/friend.
We usually act in 3ways in these situations:
1. We distance ourselves from the person.
2. We reconsider the aspect or skill you were
out performed in.
3. We try to improve that aspect of ourselves.
But then, sometimes to increase or maintain self-
esteem , some may become NARCISSITIC. Meaning:
overly high self-esteem-admiration, self-
centeredness.
There is difference between self-esteem and
narcissism. People with high self-esteem are usually
outgoing. Adventures, adaptable in a lot of
situations. But they could also be bullies and
experiment on abusive behaviour, drugs, alcohol, etc.

THIS IS JUST ME TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE AUDIO FUNCTION OF WEBNOVEL. DON'T MIND THIS. NOT A REAL STORY OR NOVEL.

After listening to Anshi pouring his heart out Pei Jin expresses his view "Prince Anshi.. benwang is satisfied that Khan has awakened and wants to mend their ways.. benwang indeed has learned of the matter and like you said though the fault was their it was of past.. after the victory Nanling has never pondered in the past happenings.. 

All these years khan has indeed been on good terms with no problems.. and with you having the helm benwang knows it will continue in the good path.. as long as your actions and words are of same mind and length you need not worry of facing wars and problems from Nanling.. though we have resource and best of generals we are not killing maniacs.. we too value peace and life as much as you all do.. you can be at ease" 

Anahi's anxious heart eases after hearing to Pei Jin. After the news of Pei Jin's entitlement and betrothal they were feeling nervous on the possibility of war Nanling may decide. But now with Pei Jin saying to be at ease he was sure that Nanling didn't have any such intentions.  He wanted thank but had to stop himself on seeing that the group left behind was nearing them. 

Pei Zhang was unhappy with his brother for leaving him with their enemies. Thankfully Shiyou seemed to be in his own world and Xiuzhi was quite amiable to talk too. Finally after some time Shiyou's excuses himself by saying he had something to talk with his sister. With him gone both Pei Zhang and Xiuzhi were more relaxed and started to chat with more ease till they rejoined the rest. 

After regrouping they headed deeper to hunt while having casual talks and occasional laughs. Even the ever cold face Pei Jin had a small smile on his face as for Shiyou he didn't care. 

On the other side Yusheng and the princesses were able to hunt some pheasants and wild hares. Most of them was killed by princess Chunhua and Yusheng as Jidan didn't have good knowledge in bow. As they went on the awkward silence and nervousness had long gone. 

Princess Chunhua kept on praising Yusheng's archery sincerely while Jidan also would insert now and then her own compliments. Yusheng felt compared to Jidan Chunhua was more childish and straight forward while Jidan had mature mind with the ability to push and pull at right time and situation. 

They decided to rest near the river ahead. After dismounting from their horse their maid servants prepared the blanket for them to sit while xiaoqing took out tea sets. 

Chunhua says to Yusheng with envy "esteem lord.. you are so gracious that even your personal servant carry cloud pouch.." Yusheng laughs at her envious face "princess though servant but xiaoqing is also someone this lord feels close as ones family.. just a cloud pouch.."  

Chunhua felt that beside being strong and talented Yusheng was also a kind and caring person and not haughty all the time. This Yusheng made her have more respect and fear. Finally she speaks solemnly and sincerely "esteem lord.. we Khans are not very bright compare to other people thus were muddled to go on war with Nanling.. we are more brawns than brains but these years we have improved a lot and striving hard for peace .. imperial brother is also a talented person with good head who for sure will make Khan kingdom better..

whatever past we had with Nanling.. never had we held any bad intention towards your esteem self and the valley.. at khan all the doctors pray you like god and believe to receive blessing on doing so.. though may sound selfish but this princess hopes for Khan to be on your good side..." 

Yusheng smiles at the straight forwardness of Chunhua and sipping the tea answer backs "hmm.. this lord is happy to hear that Khan is heading with positivity....this lord can't deny the fact of being short tempered and heavy handed at times but also won't rashly and randomly attack and implicate people... though going as far as praying seems far fetched but this lord humbly accepts the wishes and respect given by people.. if available this lord will visit to Khan.." 

Chunhua smiles brightly and pats her chest to become the best guide for her making Yusheng laugh. Measuring the good atmosphere Jidan also strikes conversation but first she suprised then by kneeling grandly to Yusheng. 

"Esteem lord.. this princess thanks for your good words to ones imperial father... whatever benefits this princess has received was all because of your kind efforts..."bows and gives her sincere thanks. Yusheng helps her up and make her sit back "Princess no need to feel as you have owed something to this lord... this lord had just stated fact.. compared to your sister you are calm, composed have the ability to judge and act according to the situation and not to forget graceful.. you have what it takes to be a royal princess.." 

Jidan listens to Yusheng's sincere words and with emotion replies "esteem lord... this princess won't hide the fact that like others this princess had intention to be on your good side for selfish reasons... but now this princess is sincere to have good bonds with your esteem self... this princess has learned a lot from your esteem self..your esteem self may have not realised but without a doubt your esteem self has the power to attract attention even change ones personalities. 

One cannot help but awe at your composure, strength and insight... this princess unlike princess Chunhua be confident and say huajin desires peace as we all the the unsaid truth but it is not a lie that like Khan people and doctors of huajin including royal family definitely have hush praises and rever your esteem self like a god.. this princess shamefully asks you to not have prejudice against the people of huajin" 

Yusheng smiles "like this lord said.. you are a good princess.. this lord takes the sincere feelings of people of huajin.. and will not hold ill feelings for the common people.. regarding to politics we have yet to come to a bitter conclusion... but as long as one remains of pure intent and soul this lord is confident of those people not being implicated.. 

Hence.. princess though your status demands a lot from you.. do not forget to live fullest... life is long yet short.. unpredictable and fickle.. like slipping sand from fist you never know how the time passes by.. just be you and enjoy the phases and changes of life"

A journey filled with blood and schemes for survival and revenge. Never had she thought love will also come as a twist worming slowly but surely in her heart.

Along with that angry voice, Rhode saw a third Celestina storming into the torture chamber. Her outfit looked rather similar to the original Celestina: gorgeous but not arousing at all. At the sight of the demonic Celestina and Rhode, the young lady who strode in frowned with a clear and unmistakable display of bone-deep disgust.
"Bloody hell, how many times have I told you! We are high demons; be worthy of who you are. Don't behave like one of those cheap wh*res. Just look at you! Hell, you're no different than some hellish demon who sticks up her *ss at the sight of a male! You're a disgrace to us! Look at what you're wearing; you might as well be in a beggar's outfit!"
The missy glared at the demon in front of her. But in the face of the proud and noble-looking lady, the demonic Celestina curled her lips into a charming smile. She moved her body away from Rhode slowly and blinked a provocative gaze at the missy. Upon sensing her provoking gaze, the missy's eyes grew sharper and angrier as if she were shooting daggers. But unfortunately, the demonic Celestina's skin was apparently as thick as a city wall's. She acted as though she were totally unaware of the sharp gaze by the other party.
"Oh no, my adorable missy. Why are you so annoyed? We may be demons, but we're also women, aren't we? Since we're born with such beauty and a magnificent body, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it. Say, stop nagging like an old hag. Why don't you enjoy your life? Is there anything more important in this world than enjoying life? Take a chill pill. Nothing bad is going to happen… Indulging yourself doesn't mean the end of the world…"
"I've had enough of your nonsense! Just who is this man? Where did he come from? Why is he here? This is not the place for him!"
Upon hearing the demon speak, the missy gave a vicious glare. It seemed like this wasn't her first encounter with a demon's enticement. As for how to deal with demons, she seemed to be really experienced. As for the demon's words, the young lady couldn't even be bothered to entertain them. She waved her arm quickly and at the next moment, Rhode felt the ground beneath his feet vanish. Soon after, his vision was once again engulfed by the darkness.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself at another location yet again. This time, he was unmistakably in what seemed to be a jail cell. It could be seen from the thick iron door, heavy walls, and rough furnishing that this place was used to hold prisoners. It was apparent that the missy had imprisoned him in this cell after she seized him from the demonic Celestina.
"Why do I feel like I'm always locked up after coming into a mental world?"
Sitting in his chair, Rhode shrugged, mumbled to himself, and showed a helpless and bitter smile. First, he was locked up in the bedroom by the little Celestina, next he was tied up in the torture chamber by the demonic Celestina, and now he was locked up in a cell by the third Celestina… Life was tough for him.
But now wasn't the time to feel sorry for himself. Taking this opportunity, Rhode calmed down and thought carefully about the issues regarding Celestina's mental world. First of all, just like Celia, the personalities of the three mental projections of Celestina's had different emphases. In Celia's case, it was 'rationality' that prevailed. But here, in Celestina's mental world, it was clear that 'self-esteem' dominated. In other words, the missy, who was the third Celestina, was the most important and core presence in Celestina's mental world. 
Honestly, even to this day, Rhode couldn't understand why the nobility's self-esteem was so high. After all, there was no such aristocratic system in his country anymore, plus the fact that he was just an ordinary person in the first place. Therefore, it was hard for him to understand the approach of trying every possible way to restore his family's glory like Angelina. He also didn't understand Celestina's self-esteem, which was so arrogant that no one was allowed to touch it.
But this was different from Celia.
In Celia's mental world, Rhode united her 'instincts' and 'ego' to retaliate against 'rationality', achieving victory in the end. That was because he didn't think Celia needed to shoulder so much burden all the time, but should be more relaxed and outgoing. And with her temperament, even a little bit of 'ego' wouldn't cause any problem. That was why he chose that method to resolve the issue. 
But here in Celestina's mental world, he wouldn't choose to overthrow his pride. Because based on the current situation, putting aside the little Celestina, the demonic Celestina also didn't flip out solely to the missy's high self-esteem. In other words, in Celestina's innermost consciousness, self-esteem and honor were far more important than instinct. Besides, she was also dismissive of such instincts, which was naturally a good thing for Rhode. After all, if Celestina also instinctively screwed around like those demons, it would be big trouble for him.
Well, the best thing to do would be to unite the missy and the little brat to handle the demon's 'instincts'. Rhode would love to do that because if he could partially strike down the demon's instincts, it would be good for both Celestina and him.
But what should be done to put that demon in order?
At this thought, Rhode couldn't help but frown and ponder the problem. He thoroughly experienced firsthand just how powerful projections in the mental world were. In this place, Celestina was the omnipotent god, while he was just a passerby. Although he could forcefully break through her restraints if he wanted, that would cause irreparable damage to her mental world. That was why he didn't retaliate at that moment. If that was the case, his resistance wasn't really a threat. Even the little brat could throw him out of the room in an instant, so it simply wasn't realistic for him to deal with anyone in the mental world. It was especially so if the other party was still the owner of this world; it really wouldn't be good for him to do so.
But now, Rhode couldn't find much of an opportunity. And so far, the only information he was able to get was that in this mental world, Celestina's 'self-esteem' dominated. And her world was… Depressing.
That's right, depressing.
Celia's mental world was always filled with blue skies and white clouds and seemed really soothing. But here, in Celestina's world, there were countless labyrinths and oppressive dark corridors. And no matter where one looked, all one saw was darkness. It wasn't surprising that Celestina, being a demon, had such a mental world. And it would be most frightening for Rhode if her mental world became as fairytale like Celia's. Sometimes, dark fairytales were more frightening than horror stories.
As for her self-esteem… Rhode couldn't find a good solution for the time being. After all, he had too little contact with the 'self-esteem' part of her.
At this thought, he suddenly recalled the little Celestina he met at the very beginning. Come to think of it, it was really strange. Up until that moment, he still hadn't understood what exactly that little brat represented in Celestina's mental world. Was it 'naivety'? No, she didn't seem naive at all. Besides, she must hold a great importance in Celestina's mental world to be able to take shape inside it. But even now, Rhode hadn't figured out exactly what she represented.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, Rhode caught a glimpse of a shadow flitting across the corner of his eye. And when he turned around, he saw a petite figure like a terrified rabbit scurrying away. And upon seeing this scene, he couldn't help but twitch his brow. This scene felt so familiar…
After a few moments, the petite figure appeared in front of him again. And this time, he clearly saw that it was the same little Celestina he initially encountered. The little one lay on the window of the cell door, staring curiously at him, who was locked up in it. The two of them exchanged looks. After a few moments of silence, the little one finally asked in curiosity.
"Who exactly are you?"
"I'm Rhode."
Rhode gave a quick answer and continued to stare at the little girl in front of him. But soon, he noticed that the little girl was somewhat different from before. At the very beginning when he met her, the latter was very mischievous. But looking at her now, she wasn't acting as high-and-mighty. On the contrary, she was more curious and somewhat inexplicably closer to him. And just when he hadn't figured out who the little one in front of him really was, she spoke up.
"Rhode? Is that your name? I'm Celestina. What are you doing here? What did you do to get locked up by Big Sister? You didn't do something bad, did you? Hahaha. It's funny. It's the first time I've seen an outsider apart from the other fella locked up by Big Sister."
That's interesting.
Rhode clearly recalled that she didn't want to talk to him half the time before. But now, she kept asking him questions like a curious baby. This piqued his interest. And it was also a good opportunity for him to communicate with her. After all, he still hadn't figured out who this little one was yet.
"I don't know. I just happened to be discovered by that missy, and then she locked me up here."
Facing her question, Rhode answered ambiguously. He neither told the truth nor lied. And when the little one heard his response, she blinked curiously. Just as she opened her mouth, intending to reply to him, all of a sudden, her ears perked up as if she heard something. Then, she fled and disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
What's going on?
Before Rhode figured out what was going on, he heard a series of footsteps and what sounded like high-heeled boots. Soon after, the third Celestina appeared before him. She knitted her brows, scanned the place, and turned around to look at him.
"Human, I don't know how you got here, but this isn't a place you can just walk in and out of. And with that annoying fella around, I'd like you to get out of here as soon as possible." The missy said and came to a pause as if she was considering her wording. But shortly after, she shook her head again, throwing what she was going to say to the back of her mind. She lifted her head, staring at the man before her with scarlet eyes.
"Do you have any questions, human?"
"Seems like I have no other choice."
In response to her words that sounded no different from expulsion, Rhode appeared really calm and didn't oppose her directly. On the other hand, he shrugged and forced a smile, spreading his hands apart in a rather helpless manner. He knew very well that this missy's self-esteem was really high, and the self-esteem of the so-called nobility would never allow others to defy her. 
He witnessed Celestina on more than one occasion berating others for defying her. And he knew that if he were to oppose her, she would likely throw him out of her mental world without saying a word. She was indeed capable of doing such things, so in the face of her question, Rhode chose to comply sensibly.
"Good."
As expected, Celestina nodded in satisfaction after seeing his obedience.
"Then I'll go ahead and handle the other side of the problem. Once I'm done with that annoying fella, I'll let you leave this world. Until then, you will stay here and remember; don't leave no matter what happens, or I can't guarantee the safety of your life."
"Got it."
Rhode nodded in response to her warning. He realized that this projection was also the same as Celia's; perhaps neither of them knew him, but they accepted his existence subconsciously. Otherwise, with Celestina's character meaning what she said, there was no need to wait for her to finish dealing with other things before kicking him out. As long as she was willing to just wave her hand, no matter how reluctant he was, he would need to leave. And now, it looked like things weren't completely without a turn of events.
At this thought, Rhode's eyes glinted.
"I have a question, Miss Celestina."
"What question do you have?"
Upon hearing his question, Celestina frowned and asked. And in response to her gaze, Rhode thought quickly before speaking his mind.
"Do you have a younger sister?"
"If you're referring to that wh*re in oestrus, then no, she is the furthest thing away from being my younger sister. It's always been the two of us here. But she was always unwilling to do my bidding and is a problematic scum!" Celestina grumbled and let out an angry snort. Then, she turned around and walked into the darkness with the same graceful steps she came in with. This time, however, Rhode didn't show any worrying expression. On the contrary, as he looked at Celestina's departure, he showed a meaningful gaze. Judging from the answer she gave him, Rhode noticed a problem.
It seems like she is totally unaware of the existence of that little Celestina.
Was it really possible for such a thing to happen? This was the mental world: Celestina's subconscious. And now, to say that there was a being in the mental world that even she didn't know about or wasn't aware of? This was an unlikely possibility. But if that were the case, it only meant that something was seriously wrong. One had to know that the projection in Celia's mental world that represented her true self was still aware of the existence of 'instincts' and 'ego'. But now, it seemed like Celestina's 'self-esteem' wasn't even aware that there was a little one running around in her mental world.
As he pondered this question, all of a sudden, a petite shadow shuttled across in front of his eyes again. Shortly after, he saw the little Celestina lying on the window of the cell door once again, staring at him curiously. She looked to her left and right as if to make sure no one else was around and whispered to him.
"Rhode, do you want to come out? I can let you out."
"Of course."
Upon hearing the little Celestina's question, Rhode hesitated for a moment and eventually nodded. He discovered that the key to his success this time was probably this little one. And although he had yet to figure out what was going on with her, he was certain that she was the key to his victory in Celestina's mental world. When the little one heard his answer, her face brightened up. She jumped down with a flip and soon after, he heard a click from the door. The locked door opened quietly and the little one peeked out from the opening with a smug smile, beckoning to him.
"Come with me, Rhode. I'll take you to a nice place that they'll never find!"

There were many points which attracted players to Don't Starve, but it all comes back to the 'Survival' aspect.
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, needs are divided into five major categories: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
The five needs form a pyramid, with the most bottom playing being physiological, and self-actualization on the top.
The lower the need, the easier it is to realise, but also the most important and urgent.
That means if a person lacked food, safety, and esteem, they should feel the strongest for food. In that moment, safety and esteem wouldn't be as important.
This was why under incredible food stress, humans would hunt large beasts (giving up safety) or beg for food (give up esteem).
Maslow's hierarchy of needs can also be applied to different industries, including video games.
Many game designers build the complete hierarchy of Maslow's needs in the game, using to drive players to chase fictional numbers in the game, and be so immersed they can't stop themselves.
A simple example would be pay to win games that sell 'strength', which focused on safety and esteem in the hierarchy of needs.
The weaker players would face the danger of being killed every moment they are in game. As they face a lack of safety, this drives them to spend more time and money in game in order to regain safety,
The stronger players on the other hand have a certain amount of safety, so they pivot to chase the needs in esteem or self-actualization, such as taking from the others, forming a guild, gathering this underlings to battle others as they fork out more and more money just to chase the high. 
Normally, very few games reach the 'physiological needs' level on the pyramid as it was difficult to develop, and didn't fit into a majority of games.
The physiological needs of humans are quite simple, consisting of food, water, health, and reproduction. However, games wouldn't usually have their players run around to gather food or water. They usually wouldn't have hunger in the game as they could only fit in so much content in the game, with better ways to spend the time of the players.
Don't Starve exploits this oversight, conveying all aspects of survival.
Moreover, Don't Starve wasn't just a simple game. As one delved deeper into the gameplay, they will realise that there was a lot of content in the game.
It was different from many main characters with huge motivations. Wilson's existence was just for himself, he didn't need to save the world or save others. His only aim was to survive, and everything he does in the world of Don't Starve was literally just that.
Don't Starve is a highly stylized game with a very mature mindset.
The world of Don't' Starve wasn't well realised nor have a deep story, it could even be said that it escaped reality. The art style and music was filled with dark humour, yet feeled incredibly real in the face of death.
The feeling of absurdity and reality runs through the Don't Starve, which is strengthened when combined with technology and magic in the game.
Living moving robots, pigs living in groups, tombstones in forests, remains of the ones who came before, horrible monsters... These scary settings may seem unrelated at first glance, but were closely related upon deeper inspection.
The world was a highly integrated unique magical world.
And Don't Starve's lifespan came from its rich content. It may seem like a simple 2D game, but it was more playable than some large works.
The mobs were really complicated, each mob provided unique food items and resources which the main character could utilize using campfires, drying racks, crockpots and traps.
Moreover, there were many things the character could interact with, harvesting by hand, chopping, mining, digging, lighting, planting... The players could interact with anything, including the map itself. Precious materials could also be used as fuel in a time of need.
There are also various materials the players could obtain. If the player wanted some pigskin, they could go head to head against the pigs, or they could look for abandoned pig houses, using the altar, or planting spider dens near pig houses and let the spider kill the pigs for the players.
And when the players get gathered as much as they need and start losing interest in the survival mode, when the players lose interest in trying to survive, the players will discover a whole new challenge in adventure mode.
Moreover, it was also a cool emotionless game mode, any oversight could lead to unrecoverable consequences in the face of survival.
And so, survival becomes more and more desired. When the players will get a huge sense of bliss as they find a patch of carrots and berries in front of a pig village.
Many players only realise how good it was to have a full stomach after playing Don't Starve.
And it was because of this that Don't Starve was able to attract so many players who were interested in surival games and retain their hardcore players. There were even players who weren't even close to getting bored of the game a few years in.
It was because every playthrough of Don't Starve was a different journey.
Moreover, like many sandbox games, mods were the core of the longevity of a game like Don't Starve.
Setting aside official DLCs, the players could also find a lot fun in mods they create themselves.
Character mods for example, One Piece characters such as Zoro (has their own blade, can cut trees, no sense of direction, map is always dark), and Ace(has fireball, regains sanity next to fire) were created. Assistant mods included more, better description, building guides, functional mods included permanent tents, expanded backpacks...
There were also large scale mods such as Hero in the Dark, which had enough content to last players half a year. These large scale mods could almost be considered their own game.
Of course, Chen Mo decided to create just a few of these more common mods that don't affect the gameplay much, leaving the other mods up to the players.
This was the nature of sandbox games, only when the players play their part will the game's full potential be realised.


Chen Mo liked calling himself a video game designer, despite being a mere video game producer.
After dying one day from work-related stress, he transmigrated into a parallel world as himself, right after he graduated. He was now in the body of his younger self, who also aspired to be a video game designer. 
Will he be able to fulfill his dream after being reborn in this oddly different new world, and become the best video game designer in that world?
Follow Chen Mo on his romp through video game classics as he brings the great games of the past to a whole new world in pursuit of his dreams!

Lijuan's eyes widened in surprise the moment Yun stepped inside the hall and sat down in the empty seat beside her. She had remembered the Kleptomaniac support group meeting was to hold that evening, so she had decided to join them instead of sitting at home feeling sorry for herself.
Yun saw the surprise on her face and he didn't miss her swollen red eyes either. He covered her hand with his own and held it down even when she tried to pull her hand away.
They both sat down quietly as they listened to the others share the stories of their struggles with Kleptomania.
Yun handed Lijuan his handkerchief when tears dropped from her eyes as she listened to a young lady recount her struggle with low self-esteem and how her partner was helping her overcome it.
She almost broke into a sob when the said lady's husband stepped out to give his wife a hug. Yun squeezed her hand gently since he could understand why she was feeling so emotional about it.
"Let's welcome our new member to tell us about herself and her struggle." The moderator of the session said and all eyes turned to look at Lijuan as they clapped for her.
Lijuan quickly shook her head, "I can't do that. At least not today." She said as she wiped her eyes with Yun's handkerchief and made sniffling sounds.
"You are her partner, right?" The moderator asked, looking at Yun who she recognized from the previous day.
"Yes. She's my fiancee." Yun said with a small smile when Lijuan tried to object.
"Then perhaps you can help her introduce herself and tell us a bit of what you know about her struggle." The moderator said, while 
the others nodded in agreement.
"You don't have to do it." Lijuan told him quietly but he was already standing up.
"Hello everyone! My name is Wang Yun, and the very beautiful lady beside me, is my fiancee, Mei Lijuan." Yun said with a grin making the others smile.
"As you can see she is very pretty, and she is also kind hearted and has a very good sense of humor. She is a wonderful artist, as a matter of fact, her first gift to me was a hand drawn image of myself. I think I have it in my phone." Yun said, taking out his phone to share the photo of Lijuan's gift.
They all looked at the picture appreciatively and talked about how talented Lijuan is.
 "She hopes to become a fashion designer, but is currently having set backs because of this condition. She is quick-witted and can be very rude to those she do not like." Yun went on, looking directly at Lijuan as he told them about her.
"Often times she allows her emotions get the better part of her, thereby allowing herself give in to self pity and self deprecating thoughts, even though I know she is the most beautifully amazing lady I've come across."
"Stop lying." She whispered through gritted teeth even though his words were actually making her feel very emotional. 
"The first time I set my eyes on her, she was picking a ring at a jewelry store... and you won't believe she picked my pen too." Yun said making them chuckle, while Lijuan sniffled beside him.
"I just care so deeply about her, and I'm hoping she would get better. Not for my sake, but for hers. Whether she gets better or not, I'm going to be right beside her." Yun concluded with a sigh while everyone else clapped and awwed at his beautiful introduction.
Some minutes later Yun walked out with Lijuan beside him, none of them said a word as he escorted her to her car.
"That was a beautiful speech." Lijuan said as she opened her car's door.
"That wasn't a speech. That was me telling you everything you're too stubborn to hear." Yun told her with a sigh.
"I already told you it's over between us. Why did you come here?" Lijuan asked, looking everywhere else, but at him.
"You didn't listen to anything I said in there? I understand that you're feeling down and all of that. I also know that this weekend has been a very emotionally exhausting one for you, and as such you're entitled to such an emotional breakdown. But that doesn't mean I'm going to allow you push me away either..."
"I said..."
"I'm not done." Yun cut her off.
"I don't care about what you said or what you want to say right now. I know our relationship, or fake relationship as you like to call it, is more important to you than you let it. Some hours earlier you told me how you didn't want other girls around me, and you even ended my phone conversation with Jenny... So don't try to make me feel like our friendship isn't important to you." Yun said and took in a deep breath.
"I've never been this talkative, but thanks to you I seem to be talking a whole lot lately. You said being with me affects your self-esteem? I don't think so. I think your self-esteem is easily affected because you are yet to understand how amazing you are and just how much you're capable of. Your self-esteem isn't something I can build for you, you have to take some time off to really think about yourself and how wonderful you are. You need to learn to love yourself the way you are and stop wishing you were someone else. I will talk to you tomorrow." Yun finished and walked away without allowing her respond to him.
Lijuan stood there looking at him as he left. "I love myself." She muttered softly before getting into her car and driving off.
She sighed when she noticed he was driving slowy behind her. 
Was this how it usually happened when people broke up?
She pulled up the car by the roadside and waited for him to go on, but he simply pulled up behind her without stepping down, making it obvious that he was escorting her home.
She sighed again before returning to the road. Immediately they got to the estate he drove over to his own apartment as she went home. She remained in the car thinking about the speech he had given and all he had told her.
She was glad she went there. She felt a lot better.

"You're nothing but a thief" He whispered seductively into her ears. 

She snapped out of the daze she had been into, to look into his eyes as she handed over his wristwatch back to him. "I'm sorry" she apologized shamefully. 

He chuckled as she handed over the wristwatch to him and turned to leave, he quickly held her hand and dragged her back to himself. "You returned just one of the two things you stole from me" he said with an amused smile. 

"What? I took just you wristwatch, and I'm sorry. Whatever else is missing you'll have to search for it elsewhere. I don't mind you asking someone to pat me down" she offered feeling very embarrassed. 

"Unfortunately I doubt it'll be found on you. I know you're with it" He said with twinkling eyes which shone with amusement. 

"What is it that you have lost? I will get it back to you, and buy it if it'll save me from this embarrassment" She said with a flushed face. 

"I don't want it back. But keep it safe... My heart" he said and chuckled when her eyes widened in shock.

ONLY A KLEPTOMANIAC WAS CAPABLE OF STEALING WANG YUN'S HEART.

"Henceforth, whatever you pick I will buy in bulk. If it is something edible, I will watch you eat it all up while I pay for it. If it is a book, you will read it. If it is a phone, I will buy you a dozen and make sure you carry it everywhere. So if you don't want me to go bankrupt you better don't pick up very expensive things." Yun warned before reminding her to pick up her 'gifts'.

Lijuan stood there looking at him with her mouth widely opened in surprise.

"What if it's a car?" She asked him.

He thought about for a while before answering.. "Your father will pay for it."
