12月20日在Steam上线的游戏《妖师》究竟讲了个什么故事？一起来看一下吧！
“建国后不许成精。”
一直以来，人们都把这句话当成一个调侃，他们并不认为世上真有妖精的存在，似乎它们只存在于想象之中。



然而，从未见过就代表着不存在么？



为了守护世界的安宁稳定，妖师一脉自古以来就默默镇守着抵御异界妖力侵蚀的四灵阵法，铲除那些逸散的妖气凝结成的妖怪。
然而历时千年，妖师的传承几近断绝，雪上加霜的是，镇守阵法的四灵兽——青龙、白虎、朱雀、玄武逐渐被妖力异化，四灵阵法逐渐失去作用，若放任不管，异界之门必将打开，届时定会引发一场人间浩劫。



你的师父，一位经验丰富的老妖师，在一次与强大妖怪的战斗中受了重伤后离开人世，临终前把维持世间灵力、打败四灵兽、建造镇妖塔将妖力彻底封印的重任交付给了你。
初出茅庐的你成了世间最后一个妖师，人间祸福从此系于一身。你明白，虽前路坎坷，总有人要去做必须要做的事。哪怕当下的你还很弱小，但借助善良妖灵的力量，在漫长的岁月中不断磨练自身，终有一日，你会实现师父的心愿，让后辈代代，有朝一日能够过上真正的安全幸福的生活。

精力回满了还躺在床上呼呼大睡？这种懒惰（浪费）的行为对于勤劳的中国玩家必须不能忍！
”睡你xx起来嗨！“哪怕是半夜3点，也得给我起床去干活！种地！养猪！做饭！研发！扫地！不劳动者不得食，不干活的不许吃饭！



当然，在游戏前期根本不会有这种烦恼，因为你的精力根本睡不满。
睡在初始床上的时候，每天睡眠时间长达8小时以上，而且最多能恢复到80点精力。一天24小时，三分之一的时间都需要拿来睡觉，多么浪费！就这样，白天还经常因为精力不足在沙发上补觉，多么可惜！
时间就是金钱，这些睡觉的时间可以种多少小麦玉米，养多少只小鸡呐。勤劳又智慧的中国人绝不允许这种情况一再发生，高级床，必须有！



换上高级床后，精力上涨的速度就像单车变摩托，嗖地一下直接满了，而这时还不到4点，就已经可以愉快地召唤妖灵们一起起床干活啦！

平板床 ↓


高级床 ↓


除高级床外，还有一些家具也是非常有用的。
比如高级电视，是让主角包括妖灵快速恢复情绪值的神器；在高级餐桌上进食，除增加饱食度外还可以额外恢复情绪值；高级扫把，打扫灰尘时快到起飞，用它你就是深藏不露的扫地僧...
有了这些高级家具，就能富余更多时间去打怪升级拯救世界啦。少年，为了世界和平，快起床吧！

Added a Learning Mode.

1. You may now move the screen using the mouse.
2. The work you are currently doing is shown on the top right corner of the screen.
3. You may now switch characters using hotkeys F1-F7.
4. Adjust the language selecting icon and function on the title screen.
5. Updated the BGM: character creating screen, manor-night, world-daytime, and combat.
6. Removed the movement confirmation in dungeons.
7. Added the QQ group and Twitter information on the title screen.
8. Adjusted the rule of triggering debuffs in the world. Debuffs can be triggered only when a character walks more than 24 blocks on the same landform. Once the character entered a different landform, went back to the manor, or triggered a debuff, the counting of the movement will be reset.

1. Fixed the incorrect moving issues in the world.
2. Fixed the incorrect BGM repeating point.
3. Fixed the incorrect UI display at the edges of the world and dungeons.

作为一个妖师，最重要的事是什么？
捉妖？错，是活着！

12月20日在Steam上线的《妖师》画面明快俏皮，主打家园生存，然而谁能想到这么卡通的外表下，不是一首田园牧歌而是如此凶残的硬核生存呢？



没有食物会饿死，心情低落会抑郁死，透支精力会累死，不出门消灭妖怪灵气没了世界都会崩塌，饮食不均衡会营养不良、休息不好会嗜睡或者失眠...处处都是生存危机，在《妖师》里活着可不是一件简单的事情。



一天24小时，吃饭、睡觉是必须的吧，粮食从哪来？自己种；想吃肉喝牛奶？自己养猪养牛；想吃到美味的饭菜饮品也需要提升自己的料理手艺；出门冒险的药品、装备、武器、过夜的帐篷...通通需要自己研究配方后亲手制作；应付各种虫灾、干旱等各种突发事件，还得给自己安排娱乐活动释放压力...生活就是这么艰难。



这也太真实了吧！能把这一大堆事安排的明明白白的必须不是一般人，更别提身为妖师你还必须抽空出门捉妖，维持世界灵气稳定了。



万幸，身为妖师你可以孵化驯养一些善良的妖灵，让他们来分担各项工作。度过了食物不够吃、活干不完、每天忙到飞起、极为艰难困苦的时期，有了妖灵的帮助，种植、养殖、采矿、烹饪的等级飞速提升，你也能打造出更强大的装备武器，享受各种高级家具带来的加成，就可以专注捉妖（偷懒）啦。



部分妖灵还具有不同倾向的战斗能力，他们对你战胜四灵兽有着十分关键的作用，要好好对待自己的伙伴哟。

高考：“做题的时候首先要想出题人的意图。”
考生：“他想让我死。”
妖师：“行动之前要仔细考虑下策划的意图。”
我：“直说吧，他不就是想让我死吗？”



12月20日在Steam上线的游戏《妖师》真是我本年度见过最“恶意满满”的游戏，101遍读档高歌“只不过是从头再来”后我不得不吐槽下《妖师》策划的良心真是大大的坏了！
游戏中角色的三项指标“饱食”、“情绪”、“精力”任意一项归0你就会狗带，底部的灵力值归0世界就崩塌，你当然还是会死，生命值归0呢？毫无疑问就是死......



那么究竟怎样才能在《妖师》中活的长久呢？
请注意，以下皆是我满是血泪的经验之谈，一家之言，或有片面，多多包涵。
1. “情绪”可以通过看电视恢复，“精力”白天睡沙发晚上睡床都可以恢复，唯有“饱食”一项必须消耗食物才能恢复，而食物则需要你种植/养殖获得原材料、研发出食物配方、在料理台上烹饪后才能获得，当接近饿死的时候才想到去种地是绝对不行的，所以最重要的一点就是做好食物储备，屯压缩饼干性价比最高。（偷偷告诉你，实在来不及做食物的时候，可以直接啃食材）



2. 游戏初期必须做的几件事：开地种小麦；养鸡；研究出馒头、肯德基、安眠药的配方；在珍奇百货商来的时候买几个冬虫夏草。

3. 家里食物不足了而养的妖灵又太能吃怎么办？指望它们“嘴下留情”是不现实的，偷偷地将一部分食物藏到背包中才是正解。为了活下去，“吃独食”也是可以的嘛。

4. 上一条同样可以作为家中长期未打扫出现“垃圾如山”状态后无法进食，饱食又即将归0时的应急方案，背包中带着食物出门，在野外吃完后再回家打扫，以免饿死于打扫中途。

5. 做手工和睡觉的时候，角色饱食降到红线有可能也不去吃饭，如果不手动让他去吃饭会活活饿死。



6. 一定要学会手动存档！读档，又被称作SL大法，作为单机游戏中无往不利的绝技，特别好用！想要妖灵满技能？卡在最后一次驯化前存档；想要挽回“熊孩子”、“原始人”等事件的损失？睡前存档；打大妖前不知道怼不怼的过？保险起见存个档......

7. 一天的时间就那么长，但要做的事情却那么多，怎么办？必须多养几只妖灵（苦力）。种植、养殖、采矿、研发、料理、打扫，这些事情都能交给妖灵来做，你的主要精力必须花费在手工上。手工等级高，遇到3级事件时才能打造出高级的道具解决；才能做出更牛逼的武器、防具、法宝，在外冒险更安全；才能做出高级床、高级餐桌等高级家具，节约时间。

8. 出门冒险必带清单：食物、果子饮、回血药、火把/篝火/帐篷、备用武器、身上穿戴武器防具法宝。还有记得预留回城所需的食物、饮料、帐篷、药品，遇到驿站后一定要买传送卷轴。



9. 野外的地块事件，饱食、情绪之类，初始角色运气值低的千万不要踩，可以等作出增加运气的法宝后再去试试，否则被扣掉一大截数值可能会直接GAME OVER。



不说了，《妖师》中的坑真是数不胜数。我只能说，有些坑，掉着掉着你就习惯了......还得自己亲身体验一下才会明白。
唉，谁能想到这么一款以建造镇妖塔为终极目标的游戏，在达成目标前最大的拦路虎，居然不是青龙白虎朱雀玄武四大boss，而是烦恼怎么活下去吗？怪不得游戏标签是“生存冒险”，果然生存才是重头戏吗？是我输了......

Walking in the world is still dangerous even if you don’t fight with evil monsters. You will be affected by debuffs randomly.

You may open your bag by clicking the portrait at the bottom left.

Once you encountered a monster, you may choose to fight or leave.


The combat is turn-based. The action order is shown on the top of the screen. You can use your abilities and items to defeat the monsters. Some elves also have the ability to fight.
You can left click the icon to cast a spell. There are some spells give you or your elves a buff, you may left click to choose a target, then cast the buff.


All the spells can be used in combat come from the weapons. The spells of a weapon generate randomly when you finish handcrafting it. Each equipment has durability, once the durability turned to zero, the equipment is broken and disappear. Unfortunately, there is no repairing technology left in the world anymore.
There are five tiers of the equipment: gray, green, blue, purple, and orange. The higher the tier, the better the attributes. Using rare materials to handcraft a piece of equipment usually gives you higher quality equipment.
