Glue guys, as the name suggests, are people who like to play with glue, because most of the assembled or category models produced on the market are made of plastic materials, so people like the old youtiao who like to play models often call themselves glue guys. The old travel strip play glue is also relatively many years, but also ran through 16, 17 years GBWC, the model has not been hundreds but dozens, is a not very mature glue guy. But to say the feeling, is pure amateur spray painting play is still very tired, so very understand that some players see the model they like will not buy, even if they buy it is not willing to spend time and effort to do color change spraying, etc., simply do a vegetarian group is finished.
Recently, there is such an independent game, to a certain extent, can alleviate the player's impulse to buy a model, and at the same time, there is no cumbersome operation requirements for playing models in reality, it is a glue puzzle game "Glue Guy Simulator" released on Steam a few days ago. Of course, the model of this game is naturally not the Gundam and machine lady we often play, those copyrights are all for money, bandai can not let you add, so want to fight Gundam is estimated to be able to modify it yourself.
Plain group assembly
Most of the models in this simulator are mainly military models and car models, if you are a vegetarian player, you will feel extremely happy in this game. The first is the board, the board in the simulator is almost no different from the board that can be seen in reality, and there is not even an ancestral plate water pattern, which slightly loses a little sense of realism of the glue lover, but the problem is not big.
There are plates naturally have pickups, the simulator provides two kinds of collection tools, one is a pen knife, the other is a model of special scissors, the difference between the two is that the pen knife operation is more refined, often a single runner cutting; The scissors are directly simplified, and the parts come out with a click, but the parts cut out by both tools are the same.
In fact, the pen knife here personally feels unrealistic, like the old walking strip of this poor glue guy will have two scissors, the scissors for picking up pieces are usually used to cut the bargain of the runner, and the other hand of god is used to clean the water inlet on the model, and the role of the pen knife is also to simply clean up the partially raised water inlet. Therefore, it is better to use scissors to cut parts, and the design of the pen knife and the clear water mouth will be closer to the model crowd.
When it comes to the assembly part, it can only be said that it is the ultimate simplification of the process, and the word "efficiency" seems to be engraved in the minds of the production team. As long as you click on the required part on the manual, the side can immediately pop up the part, and then you only need to rotate the viewing angle to find the installation part of the part, which is much more worry-free than actually playing the model, after all, the most time-consuming place for the players in the prime group is to find the part. There's not much to say about the last stickers.
Spray part
The word efficiency was also mentioned earlier, which is even more prominent in the spraying operation. In the process of playing glue in reality, we will determine which part of which color to give through the vegetarian group, and then observe whether there is a lack of meat (referring to the accidental cutting of the model when it is cut), whether the water outlet is cleaned, whether there is glue, and by sanding to make the edges or planes of the model appear more flat, and finally colored. But in "Glue Guy Simulator", all this is omitted, and even you can start coloring the model at the stage of assembly, directly a few hundred steps ahead of the real glue guys.
There are two main coloring tools in the game, one is the paint bucket and the other is the airbrush. Because it is a simulator, it can be quite perfect in some operations that can be simplified, the paint barrel can paint a large area and regular place with a relative color, and the airbrush is used for spraying at the details, but the nozzle cannot be adjusted, which is still a pity. The overall spraying system is still quite free, basically able to meet your DIY operation of these existing models, in response to the sentence of Gundam Powder", "Steel Pula is free!"
summary:
Although it is a simulator, there is also a simple plot and procurement system to be built, the buyer places an order, the player buys the model to make and sell the income, that is, it belongs to the model foundry class, and the ultimate goal is to go to Grandpa's studio to continue to play glue. The game itself is not on top, because the current number of models is actually not enough for players to play a refreshing, even if the workshop is opened in the future, it may also be due to the huge amount of 3D model calculations, resulting in differences in performance results. But if you haven't played a build-up model, I think this game would be a good place to start.
