The great success of the Oracle has paved the way for countless of the same kind of binary-scrambling hand-scrambling, and the alien ring, which will be on line at the end of this month, is yet another novelty. On this point, the development team of the Ark of Tomorrow: The End of the World knows very well that they are leading the game on a crowded track by means of automated elements similar to those in games like the Happiness Factory.
In an interview with the foreign media, Games Radar, Ryan, the project manager for the Ark of Tomorrow: The End, explained: “There are too many similar works in the market today. We still think that the players are looking forward to fresh. For the open-world role-playing card game, some works are too similar, and the player enters the game for an hour to know what the next 20 hours are, not only to form a team, to plot a copy, to get a reward.” “We want to do something different for the role. In fact, we reduce the cost of team formation, so that players can try more combinations, and we will give more free card opportunities in the current and subsequent versions, and more players will try different combinations.”
Ryan states that the plant and automation mechanisms were initially only experimental functions, but are now one of the emblematic features of The End. The task of the player is to build and optimize the resource pipeline, while the world is undergoing a minor landscape transformation. The system both rewards creativity and planning and does not confuse new players. Ryan further explained: “In many open world games, the world environment is more for beauty and players cannot influence the world. And the construction part of the factory introduces the experience of the sandbox game, which brings different freshness to the player. We found that, because of the sandbox elements, the average time played by a player in The End of the World was greater than that of other similar games. Construction is new to them.”
Ryan stressed that the goal of developing the team was not to make the game more difficult, but to build additional systems to increase the depth of the game. “We don’t want the players to struggle with numbers and calculations”, he said, “We just want to bring in some new, more unique, but less difficult, game mechanisms for building the system in future editions.” The Eagle Point Network plans to continue to expand the game of End of the Earth, drawing on its experience with the Ark of Tomorrow and other experimental models. Ryan suggests that future updates may introduce new systems to further integrate different types of games, thereby maintaining the player ‘ s dynamism.
The integration of simulations of RPG, draw cards and lightweight plants gives the End of the World a unique advantage, which, with innovative methods and adherence to player-friendly design, has allowed it to emerge from the market where homogenous games prevail.
