Time: New York Metro Guardian is a PC simulation game with tower defense as its primary gameplay.

The game combines storytelling and gameplay to provide players with a rich gaming experience.


New York Metro Guardian是一款以塔防为主要玩法的PC模拟经营游戏。在这款游戏中，玩家们将扮演一名纽约地铁调度员，通过协调维修人员，谈判专家和NYPD（纽约警察）来解决随时可能发生的地铁事故，帮助纽约地铁顺利度过早高峰。游戏将叙事和玩法结合，为玩家提供了丰富的游戏体验。



Inspiration


Over the past three years, I've lived in New York City. As the saying goes, 'New York is both heaven and hell,' I harbor complex and nuanced feelings towards this city. The New York subway, an essential part of my daily commute, fills me with gratitude. However, the ceaseless incidents (which form the main backdrop of the game), along with the disorderly environment, often leave me perturbed and apprehensive. Perhaps, these complex emotions add to the allure of this city. I yearn to capture these ineffable feelings towards the New York subway through a game.在过去的三年里，我生活在纽约。正如那句话所说，“纽约既是天堂也是地狱”，我对这座城市抱有复杂而微妙的感情。纽约地铁作为我日常通勤不可或缺的一部分，让我充满感激。然而，这里不断发生的事故（这也构成了游戏的主要背景），以及无序的环境，经常让我感到不安和担忧。也许，这些复杂的情感增添了这座城市的魅力。我渴望通过一款游戏捕捉我对纽约地铁这些难以言表的感情。

Simulation Game


游戏的目标是通过策略性地分配资源来帮助纽约地铁度过早高峰，解决一定数量的事件。实现这一目标将帮助游戏胜利，这与模拟经营游戏中通常的目标一致。The game aims to help the New York subway through its morning rush hour by strategically allocating resources to resolve a set number of events. Achieving this goal will lead to victory in the game, aligning with the objectives typically found in simulation games.


Tower Defense Gameplay


In this game, accidents will occur on multiple tracks, causing train stoppages and traffic congestion. Players take on the role of a New York subway dispatcher, hiring employees with coins earned from train arrivals from preparation seats, placing them on grids adjacent to the tracks, and resolving incidents to ensure the smooth operation of the subway.在这款游戏中，多条轨道上将发生事故，导致列车停运和交通堵塞。玩家扮演纽约地铁调度员的角色，使用来自列车到达所获得的金币从备战席中雇佣员工，将他们放置在与轨道相邻的格子上，以解决事件确保地铁的顺畅运行。

游戏中，玩家可以雇佣三种不同身份的职员：维修工，谈判专家和NYPD警察，他们分别在处理发生在铁路轨道上的零件损坏，乘客纠纷和可疑武器事件更有效率，这意味着他们将用更少的时间清楚事件。值得注意的是，在玩家从备战席雇佣职员后，将触发冷却时间直b z到下次雇佣该种职员时。

Newbie Friendly


  • 游戏内教程：游戏中包含了嵌入对话框中的详细游戏教程。

  • 逐步进阶：作为教程的一部分，游戏中的四条轨道将会逐步解锁。
  • Tutorial: There are detailed in-game tutorials nestled within the dialogues.

  • Gradual Progression: The four tracks in the game will be progressively unlocked as part of the tutorial.



Game Difficulty Adjustment


影响游戏难度的因素包括：

  • 游戏目标：随着需要清理的事故数量增加，玩家在给定的时间内面临的压力会更大，从而增加游戏的难度。

  • 初始金币数量：当玩家拥有的起始金币较少时，他们需要在雇佣员工时更加谨慎，因为资源有限，这也会增加游戏的难度。

  • 地图复杂性：当地图上的地铁线路更多，或者可用于放置雇佣员工的格子较少时，游戏变得更具挑战性。

  • ...还有更多
Factors that affect the game difficulty include:

  • Game Objective: As the number of accidents required to be cleared increases, players will face greater pressure within a given time, thus increasing the game's difficulty.

  • Initial Amount of Gold: When players have fewer starting gold, they need to be more cautious when hiring staff due to limited resources, thereby increasing the game's difficulty.

  • Map Complexity: The game becomes more challenging when there are more subway lines on the map, or when there are fewer tiles available for placing hired staff.

  • ... AND A LOT MORE



More Improvements


  • 游戏平衡：在模拟管理游戏中平衡各种数值是一个重大挑战，通常需要上百次尝试来找到最合适的解决方案。《纽约地铁守护者》可以进一步调整数值让游戏更加有挑战性。

  • 关卡设计：在demo中展示的游戏部分仅作为这个游戏的第一关。为了增强游戏体验，后续将设计具有更高难度的附加关卡。

  • 叙事丰富化：目前，游戏仅包含三段对话，并且它们发生在解锁所有轨道之前。为了丰富游戏的叙事，可以在解决游戏内事件后随机引入更多对话。
  • Game Balancing: Balancing the values in simulation management games is a significant challenge, often requiring hundreds of attemps to find the most suitable solutions. New York Metro Guardian can benefit from further refinement in its numerical aspects and adjustments.

  • Level Design: The segment of the game presented in the demo may serve as only the first level of this game. To enhance the game, additional levels with higher difficulty can be designed.

  • Narrative Enrichment: Currently, the game features only three dialogues, and they occur before unlocking all tracks. To enrich the narrative of the game, more dialogues can be randomly introduced after resolving in-game events.
