Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 144 A Beginner's Guide at the Textbook Level
With the appearance of the UI interface of the game, the character controlled by the player also stood up from the ground.

[Northern House of the Undead]
The name of the area where the player is currently located appears in the center of the screen.

The game has officially started!
The protagonist is dressed in a thief costume and holds a broken sword hilt in his right hand.

And at this moment, Er Xiao suddenly realized something was wrong.

"No, brothers, I just squeezed my face for so long, why does it become so ugly when I enter the game?"

Er Xiao pushed the joystick to turn the camera. At this time, although the thief's face was wearing a mask, it was not difficult to see from the leaked face and a small part of the skin that the thief was completely in the same position as those lying on the ground. corpse-like state.

His whole body was flushed red, as if all the water had been evaporated dry.

"Is it possible that you are so ugly?"

"This is a place where the undead are imprisoned. Since you can be imprisoned like them, it is normal to look similar to them."

"There should be a way to change you back to your original state in the follow-up, otherwise the face-squeezing link would be meaningless at all."

I have to say that the last statement made a lot of sense.

Er Xiao, who had figured it out, didn't get entangled here, and started the process of the game directly.

The blue light ball in front of him was so attractive, Er Xiao pushed the joystick lightly, and the undead protagonist walked forward slowly, when he came to the dropped corpse.

[Key A: Search for remains]
With the A key pressed, a dungeon key appears in the center of the screen.

"Thanks for the dungeon key sent by my brother knight."

"Okay, the protagonist is out."

"Er Xiao, how does it feel to operate?"

Er Xiao casually manipulated the undead to walk around the prison a few times, and happily said:

"It's quite comfortable to walk on, but the specific evaluation will have to wait for a while to play."

Without further ado, Er Xiao continued to experience.

Use the dungeon key to push open the cell door, and what you see is a somewhat desolate and dilapidated cell corridor.

On this corridor, the most eye-catching thing is the blood letters on the ground that are shining with red light.

When the undead stepped on the blood letter and pressed the interaction button, some information prompts would appear.

It's all very basic tips, like how to manipulate the camera, how to attack.

In front of the bloody characters, there is a withered corpse who is facing the protagonist, bending over and covering his face.

"Come and try how this game works."

As Er Xiao spoke, he swung his weapon towards the living corpse in front of him.

The undead man charged backward with his right hand, took a step forward with his left foot, and then swung out to complete the entire attack process.

One knife 13, the damage is pitifully low.

But after being attacked, the living corpse would not resist, and could only watch the player kill it one by one.

As its blood bar emptied, it limply fell to the ground, and a small blue light spot floated from his body into the body of the undead man.

In the lower right corner, the value of the interface ui, which was originally 0, suddenly increased to 20.

"This game is quite simple. To be honest, I thought Luo would always design the game to be as difficult as Hollow Knight."

"There is no comparison between 2D games and 3D games. After all, many work scenes that can be completed in 2D are too difficult to reproduce in 3D."

"Brother, this is a novice level. Isn't Hollow Knight's novice level just countering flies and bugs at the beginning?"

Everyone has no expectations for the novice level, because the purpose of the novice level is actually for you to familiarize yourself with the operation.

Following the guidance of the blood characters, the player killed two little living corpses along the way.

One of them is still in the water, and when the player walks up, the movement will obviously slow down. It can be regarded as telling the big guys that this game has terrain like water pools.

When the player walks up an upward staircase and comes to a courtyard, the tightness in the corridor of the prison suddenly becomes clear.

The square courtyard is full of green grass.

In the center of the courtyard, a pile of ashes and bones was piled up together, and it was burning fiercely. On top of the fire, a strange threaded red sword was inserted obliquely into the fire.

When the player chooses to rest at the campfire, the whole screen is accompanied by a special effect like quicksand rolling down, and then...

Nothing happened.

"This should be for you to save and rest, but your blood bar is full now, so there is no change."

"Don't ink the novice tutorial, and it's over!"

The undead man immediately stood up from the ground.

At this time, there are two roads in front of his eyes, the gate in front and the fence gate on the left.

Based on the idea of ​​never going through the gate if there is a small gate, the undead came to the fence gate and pressed the interaction button, but what appeared on the screen at this time was only a line of small cold characters.

[cannot be opened from this side]
"Here we come! Classic Ori-like room design!"

Just like Ori's rock blocking the way, and the hole blocking the door, the iron door in front of him that can only be opened from the back naturally excited the fans of Chuxin.

You can't walk on the path, and of course you can only choose the gate.

As the ancient door in front of him was slowly pushed open by the undead man, there was a line of blood written in the center of the huge room in front of him.

But when Er Xiao trotted for a while, the moment he saw the bloody words in the past:

[Run away! ]
The eye-catching reminder made Er Xiao look confused, and at the same time, a huge demon that caught everyone off guard fell from the top of his head.

Undead Demon.

It was huge in size and could not see the top of its head at a glance. It held a huge hammer in its hand. The moment it fell to the ground, it caused a violent noise like an earthquake.

Er Xiao almost subconsciously walked towards the open fence door on the left.

As she fled, as if at a critical moment, the iron gate behind her closed instantly!

And the monster, who was still imposing just now, also calmed down.

"Fuck, what the hell is this? It scared me to death!"

Er Xiao patted his chest with lingering fear.

The scene that happened just now was too sudden, and she wasn't prepared for it yet.

"Indeed, just now I was terrified by this bullshit. Fortunately, there was a reminder on the ground, and it came from Mr. Luo's mercy."

"No, you can't face it with hard steel? It's not like you don't have a weapon in your hand."

"You don't need to think about this kind of thing. It must be plot killing, and you can't beat it in the early stage."

Not to mention that the water friends were still arguing fiercely, Er Xiao hid in the small door and walked down the stairs, and what appeared in sight was another bonfire.

After igniting and sitting on the fire, turn right in this small room, and there is still blood.

[If there is a shield...]
what does this mean?
With doubts, Er Xiao turned right and entered the door without stopping.

Accompanied by a soft whoosh, before Er Xiao understood what happened, a white arrow flying from afar had already pierced the undead man's body, reducing the blood volume by one bar.

And on the left, a blue light cluster like the dungeon key he got before appeared in his sight.

Without further ado, Er Xiao turned around and walked into a hidden small room specially used to avoid arrows.

With the search for the blue light group, a small shield named "Tuan Pai" was successfully collected by the player.

According to the blood in the small room, the undead man held up his shield, walked out of the small room, and approached the arching corpse in the distance.

Accompanied by a few tinkling sounds, the arrow hit a few sparks on the shield.

Except for the stamina bar above the head dropping a little, the blood streaks didn't move at all.

The living corpse seemed to know that the player had a shield in his hand, and when the player was close to him to a certain extent, he decisively turned around and ran away.

"Why are you running? It was so cool to ejaculate just now, come face to face with me!"

Er Xiao chased after him rather unwillingly.

"It's really cool to talk about it."

"?"

"When I play ?, it's not my fault, it's your fault."

In the process of chasing, Er Xiao finally picked up the weapon "thief's dagger" that he should have carried in the beginning.

At this point, "Thief Er Xiao" has officially become a complete body without being dead.

The power of the thief's short knife is not comparable to that of the broken sword. It swings faster and does more damage.

That is, the attack range is obviously much shorter than Broken Sword.

After beheading the little archery corpse under the horse, in front of his sight, there was a white fog door that was not simple at first glance.

"I feel like I'm going to fight the BOSS."

Er Xiao's heart tightened, and he said with a frown.

The previous maps did not have such a fog door blockade, and the appearance of this kind of thing now is an obvious signal.

Confirming that he was fully prepared, Er Xiao walked through the fog gate, but the first thing that caught his eye was not the boss, but a broken fence gate, sealed by piles of stones.

Through the crack of the door, the player can clearly see that the knight who helped the protagonist is sitting on the ground motionless.

The blood on the ground beside it reminded the player of an action called "tumbling".

Er Xiao tried to interact with the broken metal door, either directly attacking or rolling over, but apparently he couldn't break the broken metal door.

There is no way, the undead can only choose to move forward.

Here again the path splits in two, with two stairs, one going up and one going down.

"Before I was always going up."

Er Xiao explained.

But when she came to the end of the downward stairs, what appeared in front of her was a rather familiar fence door.

As the undead man slowly pushed open the fence gate, and when the impressive courtyard came into view, Er Xiao raised the corners of his mouth.

"That's the taste, so what if there are many routes? No matter which way you go, there is always a way to come back."

"Yes, it's this familiar smell. When I saw this door, I couldn't help but start to outline the structure of the entire map of the Northern Undead Court in my mind.

Just after the protagonist comes out of the cell, go straight to the corpse room with the puddle, turn left, go up the stairs, and enter the demon room.

Turn left, take the uphill corridor with the archer's corpse, then turn left and go up the stairs, and you will see the knight on the opposite side.

It is too clear, the connection point of everything is the courtyard in the middle. "

"No way, this can also blow? Isn't it just a very simple ring structure?"

"It's not bragging, it's just telling the truth, after all, it's the initial map.

Didn't you find that the introductory of Dark Souls was exceptionally good from start to finish?When the blood word reminds you of an action, there will be a usage of that new operation paired with it immediately ahead.

With weapons, there are living corpse targets ahead that will not resist, facing archers, we need to use shields to approach...

As a textbook-level novice guide, Luo has always learned the lessons of the Hollow Knight and lowered the entry barrier for new players as much as possible.

With such a guide design, no matter how handicapped players are, as long as they follow the guide, they will definitely be able to continue playing. "

Coming up from the lower stairs again, when Er Xiao was walking towards the upward stairs, a big iron ball that was completely unprepared rolled down the stairs directly.

The undead man was caught off guard by the iron ball and lost half of his HP.

"Fuck? Why is there a big iron ball here!"

Er Xiao exclaimed.

Suddenly, there was a sound of walls breaking.

Er Xiao turned around and looked back, and saw that the thick wall behind him had been smashed open by the iron ball.

"I remember that knight should be here, right?"

"This iron ball is specially for you to open the door!"

As soon as they thought of the knight behind him who had helped the protagonist, almost everyone didn't pay much attention to why the iron ball appeared here, and no one thought that this design was a big deal.

At this time, Lao Lu, who was watching the live broadcast at home, narrowed his eyes slightly, but raised the corners of his mouth.

All the plainness before is a guide.

He knew that starting from the iron ball in front of him, the most unique part of Dark Souls had really shown its fangs to all players.

But at this moment, no one has a clear understanding of this.
