Double Point Campus Trial Report: Students, please do not cast magic casually

In 2018, the simulation business game "Double Point Hospital", hailed as a sequel to the spirit of "Theme Hospital", was released. The still nonsensical and bizarre diseases allowed many players to rediscover the joy of childhood. For Chinese players, although there is no classic saying "please don't die in the hallway", the equally high-quality Chinese dubbing is also particularly commendable.

The success of the game led the development team to decide to continue the story of "Double Point Town", so they turned their attention to the school and brought "Double Point Campus" to the players.

What new experiences will "Two Point Campus" have from patients to students? Thank you for the invitation from Sega. I have recently experienced this game and brought you this trial report.

Because the types are all simulated operations, it is easy to find corresponding entities in "Double Point Campus", such as students corresponding to patients, teachers corresponding to doctors, courses corresponding to diseases, and so on.

But due to the change in theme, it has brought different changes to the gameplay process. The most genuine feeling when I first started playing "Double Point Campus" is that these students have so many things to do.

Of course, in "Double Point Hospital", I also have to provide patients with many supporting services that hospitals should have (and theoretically should not have), but after all, patients leave after treatment. As long as they don't die in the hallway, everything is okay, but students are expected to stay in school for at least three academic years, and this front line is very long.

The first thing to consider is the student's grades. Simply providing classrooms, libraries, and teaching staff is clearly not enough. If a student's grades are not ideal, they should set up a private tutoring room and send him to a dedicated small kitchen.

Whether students are willing to learn is closely related to their own happiness - when tired and tired, they have dormitories, bathrooms, showers, etc.; when thirsty and hungry, they place vending machines or roadside vendors; when bored, they arrange parties and movies; when sick, they have a medical room (various diseases come again); when under pressure, they have a humanistic care support room If students feel uncomfortable staying, they may refuse to pay tuition fees or even apply to drop out.

Oh, that won't work. Am I opening a school to cultivate top talents in the new era? Of course not, it's for the small money in the student's pocket. So sometimes it's still necessary to compromise and try to meet the demands of students.

In addition, the improvement of academic strength in schools cannot be separated from the enrichment of infrastructure, and students will need to use many auxiliary equipment for their extracurricular homework. These assistive devices may vary depending on the course. Knight students may require the construction of a giant dragon tower outdoors, while culinary students may need to place a new cooking table in the kitchen. Some of the devices can only be unlocked through research, so it is necessary to build a research laboratory and configure research teachers to specialize in research.

And what is another major characteristic of students? Of course it's youth! (There is absolutely no discrimination against senior universities)

So the student union had to be built (for parties, performances, etc.), and the student club had to be arranged (there was actually a "sleeping room" in the game). It is obvious that "Double Point Campus" is a Western style campus, without any school festivals or sports events.

And the students who are filled with youthful hormones are obviously not satisfied with this, so they have to arrange to match student relationships. Although I cannot understand why placing a few chairs or statues can help students develop friendship and love with each other, it is quite interesting to have a two person trampoline in a collective dormitory.

With this passage, the game process became fulfilling and busy. Every corner of the school, big and small, was already filled with a variety of rooms and decorations. The average grades and happiness of the students gradually improved, and one academic year passed. I have earned the money.

Next academic year, develop new courses and welcome more students.

I have truly experienced the challenges faced by manufacturers of service-oriented games through "Two Point Campus", which is really difficult.

Difficulty is not only due to busy schedules, but also because sometimes students are particularly disobedient. For example, even though there are a batch of bathrooms and bathrooms waiting to be used, and the corridors are filled with hand sanitizer, the students still feel dirty and clamor to drop out of school.

In the game, students can be designated to go to the infirmary, private tutoring, and psychological counseling, but from my experience, the triggering of entertainment and hygiene events seems relatively random. I can only provide as many activities or equipment as possible, and cannot more accurately instruct students to do something. I can only anxiously watch them take action.

Moreover, the differentiation between students is too small. For example, although there are gender differences, in reality, students share dormitories, bathrooms, and other equipment, so gender differences can basically be ignored.

All kinds of diseases in the "Double Point Hospital" make people laugh, and all kinds of courses in the "Double Point Campus" also make people laugh. Just as I see in this experience version, there are food department, knight department, magic department, dark art department, Internet history department, etc.

Today's class will explain the use of magic. After class, there will be a test of the Avada Lethal Curse. Everyone, prepare for it.

These unusual courses naturally contain a series of unique British style humor, such as students in the magic department learning the "Seven Forgivable Spells" in class, accidentally casting spells in their spare time can lead to contracting pumpkin heads or being naked, students in the dark arts department will throw the bathing duckling in while refining magic potions, and students in the knighthood department Learning how to become a knight in a modern school alone is quite contrasting and cute.

When you're not so busy, it's also a pleasure to take a closer look at the animated performances of the little people in each room.

Each school and curriculum naturally have corresponding game mechanisms. The area where the Knights Academy is located may occasionally experience earthquakes, and there may be invaders sent by other Knights Academy. In addition, you can also arrange martial arts tournaments for students; The School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a powerful rival who will unleash meteorite rain to attack the academy. At the same time, because the academy is relatively cold, attention must be paid to the temperature of each classroom. Both students and teachers are not willing to go to class/school in the cold.

Here we talk about Knight Academy and Wizardry Academy. Knights are only designated for this course in the first academic year of this level. In the second academic year, players can freely arrange among the unlocked courses. The more academic years there are, the greater the divergence in course settings among players, which also improves replayability.

Oh yes, the Chinese dubbing in this game is as excellent as the previous one, and many familiar voices will return in this game, and there will also be many interesting new voices.

In terms of the content I have experienced, "Double Point Campus" continues the humorous temperament of "Double Point Hospital". Although some of the business and construction content is similar due to the same type, the "campus" theme does bring a different experience.

Double Point Campus will be released on August 9th. I only experienced the content of the first four colleges in this trial version, and I look forward to seeing more interesting and unconventional courses in the official version.
