大家好~非常感谢大家来游玩《我的小鲨鱼》这款免费游戏。在游戏发布后，我收到了很多玩家的热心留言，也看到有玩家对游戏的设计表达出了疑惑，所以我整理了一些常见疑问，在这里尝试着回答，如有不妥的地方还请多包涵呀~ 【温馨提示】以下内容有非常多的关于游戏的严重剧透，强烈推荐在游玩过游戏后再继续阅读。 【问：游戏是用什么软件制作的？】 答：我使用的是Construct3，这个软件不需要编程基础就能制作游戏，很适合我这样的无编程基础的人。唯一的不足是这个软件是按月订阅制，价格真的太贵了，吓得我抓紧工期在一个月内将游戏做完了（好在这游戏体量很小，一个月的时间用来制作绰绰有余）。 【问：制作这样的游戏的原因是什么？】 答：一开始我想做的是个“能和小鲨鱼对话聊天”的游戏，但是在构思聊天对话内容时，我在这个自问自答的构思过程中渐渐倾向了内心的回忆，有很多东西在我的回忆中呼之欲出，于是我改变了游戏最初的主题，把它做成了看似喂养宠物的充满黑暗气息的游戏。 在构建游戏内容的时候，有很多想法随着我的记忆自然倾泻，它们就顺着自己的情感流向了游戏。等游戏发布之后，我再回过头来思考，才意识到自己在不知不觉间为这个游戏注入了非常多的曾经刺痛过自己的经历，在小鲨鱼身上投射了自己曾经的回忆。 这个游戏可能会让玩家联想到（悲伤的）原生家庭、控制欲、无助感、亲密关系之类的话题，小鲨鱼在游戏中是完完全全的弱者，它被放在了一个“离开了饲主就会饿死，会活不下去”的世界里，它是无力而弱小的，就像幼小的人类小孩必须要依赖父母的养育一样。 在制作游戏的最终坏结局（GAME OVER 小鲨鱼离开了）时我感到非常难过，但是又期望着如果当初能有着更好的机遇和幸运，能遇到更加尊重和关爱小鲨鱼的玩家就更好了，于是我也带着这份希望制作了最终的好结局（和小鲨鱼成为了朋友）。 【问：我在游玩的时候感觉好自责啊！】 答：如果在游玩时感到不适，这是非常正常的，我真的很感谢您的这份理解与共鸣！我在制作游戏的那一个月里，精神状况和心情受到了这个游戏非常严重的影响，整个人非常难受，就好像一个幽灵在画一幅当初杀死自己的凶手的肖像画一般感到不舒服。但我最终还是把这幅肖像画给画下来了，这幅无形的画攥在了玩家的手里。如果玩家欺负甚至虐待小鲨鱼，那么玩家在自己的心中便会知道“凶手”在什么情况下会作恶，并得到小鲨鱼离开的结局。 如果您只是因为好奇心想要收集全结局，您真的无需自责，这里是因为我在设计游戏时因为经验不足，没能考虑到在好奇心驱使下的玩家的可能的行为，从而导致的设计疏漏。想要收集全结局的玩家没有做错什么，只是作者是个笨蛋。 【为什么在游戏中要那么具体地展示让人感到不快的东西？】 答：真的很抱歉，这一点我在制作时确实没有考虑到。这些内容确实过于具体了，可能会引起人的不适。我在制作游戏时因为情绪的流露，把脑子里想的东西没有做筛选就做了进来，因为那是自己的回忆，所以可能显得过于具体了，游戏也自然而然变成了展示受害者的视角，因为这份视角来自于我自己回忆的第一视角。我不清楚施暴者的视角是怎样的，所以游戏的画面只好聚焦在了小鲨鱼的身上。 当玩家欺负和虐待小鲨鱼时，弱小的小鲨鱼会向玩家哀求。这样的哀求行为是切切实实的反面教材，因为我曾经这样向我的充满控制欲的父亲哀求过让他别再打妈妈，但最后变成了我和妈妈一起被打，最后我才发现这样的哀求是无用的。游戏里很多台词是我曾经真正向我父亲说过的一模一样的话，那些话我印象非常深刻，因为我父亲直接无视了它们。游戏里的小鲨鱼也是一样，曾经抱有幻想地尝试向施暴者哀求，直到游戏最后才发现哀求是无效的，才会在摆脱了玩家控制的那一瞬间（玩家将领养窗口关闭时）做出离开的决定，和曾经的我自己一样。 游戏虽然是无意识间的表达，但是我在留言中看到了很多与我相似的人，大家有着相似的影子，我认为这份心声本身是无价的，这是游戏设置为免费的原因。 【为什么游戏会设置那么多糟糕结局？而幸福饲养的结局却那么少？】 答：因为游戏根据我自己的经历改编，而我没有见到过掌握权力者与弱者幸福生活的场景，所以不太会描绘幸福的画面。对于权力者而言，一个轻飘飘的选择就可能导致影响严重的后果，让弱者一直被痛苦的回忆纠缠，再用未来的很多年去治愈和遗忘。但是我相信这个世界上一定有着会好好关爱孩子，给予孩子足够多的无条件的爱的父母，我期望这样的幸福家庭变得越来越多。 【为什么小鲨鱼永远爱你？】 答：因为孩子对父母的爱是与生俱来的，这份爱从出生的那一刻起就存在，哪怕父母控制孩子、欺负孩子，孩子也会认为是自己做得不够好。小鲨鱼只有你，你便是它的家。如果父母一直过度地控制孩子，那么这份糟糕的状态就会持续很多很多年，直到孩子有机会摆脱糟糕的父母的控制为止。但即便孩子逃离了这份控制，在孩子心中也许仍然藏有这份爱，只是这份爱会变得更不敢表达，只能藏起来了...

Drugs and Crime Idle Update 4.10 -Fixed a big issue with gambling not being random enough. Long version: The thing is, software can never be true random, it will always pick the same numbers, even if you set it to be random. I knew that, so the game had two sets of randomizers when gambling, but that was not enough. The software picks a random "seed", which then determines the items you get based on numbers, those numbers are also picked randomly-ish. Problem was, the seed was randomly determined when you start the game, not while gambling. Now it picks a random seed every 15 seconds. I know, why was this not in the game before? I didn't think of it before, alright. I thought two sets of randomizers would be enough. This is why you might have gained rare items in quick succession before, or, none at all. Which sucks both ways. Well, now that's fixed. I tested it for a bit and got both rare items from the common crate in 3-4 min. If you don't get them now, you have bad luck. Overall it should be way easier. Have fun and sorry for this inconvenience!

Patch Notes v1.104 Fixed: Equipments not visible when you drop them first time.
