As viewers, we can always nitpick the pros and cons of a program from various angles, but when you pick up the camera, can you shoot a program that satisfies everyone?
On August 10, "The Crush House" developed by Nerial and published by Devolver Digital was launched on Steam. As a dating variety show production simulation game, players will become producers, select guests to participate in the show and capture their various dramas or romantic plots, so that the show ratings reach peaks amid the audience's cheers.
In the choice between ratings and content, do you practice your own producer's philosophy and only shoot artistic and high-quality variety shows; or do you completely comply with the audience's requirements and do everything for the ratings, just being a ruthless shooting machine? No matter what your philosophy is, you can get feedback in "The Crush House".
Not satisfied with watching dating variety shows? Then just shoot it!
As a producer, the player has to take care of all aspects of the program, no matter how big or small. The first thing to do is to select 4 guests from 12 guests with different personalities as the protagonists of the season.
You can find the most suitable two pairs of people based on their likes and dislikes, let them meet and fall in love on the show, and experience the feeling of being a "matchmaker"; you can also put four seemingly unsuitable people together and watch them fight and create conflicts on the show to create the desired "show effect". As a producer, you have the final say on what kind of show you want to shoot!
However, although the guests are carefully selected by you, you cannot control any behavior of these guests. You can only record their hysteria when they go crazy, and record those touching moments when they express their true feelings. In short, in your lens, there will always be "drama" at any time, and some magical developments will even make you, the producer, dumbfounded.
In addition to recording the various scenes of the guests, the most important thing to ensure the smooth shooting of the show is to meet the strange needs of different audiences. Remember, in this variety show, the audience is always God! As long as they are not satisfied, the show will be shut down instantly. Therefore, sometimes you need to add some highly artistic camera movements during the shooting, and also meet the special needs of the mother audience for the shooting content. Sometimes you even need to shoot some water pipes to meet the special preferences of the plumber audience.
For these various requirements, what players and producers need to think about is how to conceive the picture and satisfy the requirements of multiple audiences in one shot as much as possible. A good shooting angle can make the effect more effective and gain a lot of praise from the audience. Therefore, shooting is not a simple matter. Only by satisfying them can you keep your job.
In addition, in this commercial variety show, sponsors are naturally indispensable. By inserting advertisements during the filming process, you can earn considerable income. The more you broadcast, the more you earn. How to balance the time of filming and inserting advertisements to achieve a double harvest of career and wealth is also a problem we need to think about.
In short, in addition to experiencing the dramatic plots brought by the dating variety show, you can also personally feel the difficulties of being a producer. Whether you can be a good producer depends entirely on your luck!
Outside the show, there is a more mind-boggling reality
Although the main gameplay of the game revolves around filming, there is also a rich plot surrounding the show that players need to gradually uncover as the game progresses.
Among them, we will find rules that are similar to strange rules, such as "Never talk to the guests". Of course, you can break this rule in the game, but it will trigger a series of butterfly effects afterwards, which will affect not only your producer career, but also your real life. Everything depends on the player's own decision, step by step to discover and find the truth and rules of program production.
During the filming process, players will meet mysterious people after each filming stage. These people are closely related to the program, and the truth of the filming is hidden behind them. Players also need to make choices and judgments, think about the meaning of their words, and piece together the answer to the truth.
