Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 226 Summary
During this period of time, taking advantage of the popularity of the seedling project, Er Xiao had picked up a lot of Guangzi, and picked up a lot of rice.

They are all orders that Er Xiao can play their games in the live broadcast. Although the price of each order is not high, the advantage is that the quantity is relatively large.

Of course, Er Xiao also said that he is only responsible for playing games, and he will not brag.

As a non-staff personnel with original intentions, we still have to have the ethics that we should have.

In this way, after more than a month, the second Chuxin Seedling Project has come to a successful conclusion.

The second Chuxin Nurturing Program is better than the first in terms of scale and quality.

Naturally, in this year's seedling program, there are a total of six games that won the "Contract Qualification":

"Complete Heroes", "Rhythm Soul", "Confused", "Revenge of the Demon King", "Neon Clothes Song", "Mountain and Sea Story".

Ranked alphabetically, in no particular order.

In terms of distribution, two games belong to "old guys", and four games belong to new game developers.

As far as the number is concerned, at least the players believe that this time the original intention was indeed fair and just.

"Complete Heroes"

The work of Xu Shuang, a well-known game producer. His previous well-known work was the main person in charge of an otome game called "Sparkling Girl".

This time, I broke up with the top management of Tianxiang Company, and after leaving, I participated in this initial seedling project.

Unlike players' stereotypes, Xu Shuang's choice this time is not the otome game she is good at, but a serious royal adventure RPG.

When the player chooses to start the game, the first screen presented to all players is a stunning 3D animation.

The handsome, heroic hero in armor swung the sword in his hand facing the ferocious and evil Demon King in front of him.

But in the end he failed. When the devil defeated him, he manipulated a mysterious red magic circle to release the tentacles.

Amidst the painful wailing of the brave man, some elements of the brave man were constantly pulled away.

During this process, the protagonist itself is also being continuously reduced in dimensionality.

From 3D to 2.5D, and then to plane.

The brave man gradually loses his voice, his color, everything about him, and the meaning of his existence.

But some unknown force sheltered the protagonist just before he disappeared.

In the end, what is presented to all players is an unusually retro 8-bit pixel villain.

The so-called completion of "Completion Heroes" is to let you continue to find and get back those things you lost.

Game sound effects, up and down, left and right movement, weapons, skill slots, colors...

The design idea of ​​the whole game is very similar to a game called Evolution Land once on Earth.

When the protagonist retrieves those things he lost, the player himself is also undergoing a change.

Changes in the development of video games.

This time Xu Shuang really took it seriously. "Complete Heroes" is different from all the works on the gorgeous resume of this well-known game producer.

She is indeed re-entering the industry as a newcomer, to compete with countless game developers in this seedling program.

And when the players experienced the demo of completing the hero for the first time, while completing the elements of the hero step by step, they couldn't help feeling inexplicable about the magnificent history of video game development.

This is not a work that newcomers can produce. It is something that can only be produced by those who have been deeply involved in this industry and have experienced many changes in this industry.

It is precisely because of this quality that the crowd of voices that allow well-known game producers to participate in the competition is so great on the Internet.

In the end, Chuxin gave an A-level evaluation.

"Rhythm Soul"

A turn-based soul game.

The author, Xing Yuanshu, is a completely new game developer who has just entered the industry.

To be honest, Luo Bai doesn't know much about the field of audio games, and he never thought that the Chuxin Nurturing Project could really produce audio games.

Because the threshold for this type of game can be said to be very high.

At the very least, no matter how good the game is, the music must be good. If the music is not good, the game is dead.

Rhythm Soul belongs to the category of very good music.

It is also very good to put aside the music and focus on the gameplay part of this game.

Since the game is called "Rhythm Soul", the author paid tribute to the work of Dark Soul.

There is no doubt that the difficulty of the game is very high.

The game adopts a very delicate hand-painted style. The protagonist Maureen embarks on a journey to become the world's number one "musician".

You can use money to learn various "music samples" on the skill tree, and these samples are your means of attack in the game.

Each sample has a different effect, some are direct damage, some are slowing down, and some are self-healing.

And if you want to use these demos, you need to press all the corresponding buttons within a very short judgment time.

The game's combat system uses a real-time combat mode, and the initial instrument that comes with it is a guitar.

In addition to the three buttons used to control the sample, there is one dodge button left.

During the battle, on the one hand, you need to quickly press the sample to attack the boss, and on the other hand, you also need to give up the savings on the sample and choose to dodge at the right time.

And in the process of becoming the world's number one musician, you will also continuously unlock different musical instruments.

The "demos" on the skill tree attached to different instruments have different effects.

The freezing of the water piano, the dizziness of the big drum, the penetration of the flute...

Different combinations of instruments even have a buff bonus similar to that in auto chess. In the later stage, the protagonist himself is a grand orchestra.

You can freely match the song samples and create your own unique movement.

Of course, in order to avoid too many buttons appearing in the later stage, which cannot be pressed.

The game also introduces a prop called "Happy Heart".

You can store some kind of sample in it and release it instantly, which is actually equivalent to a shortcut key.

The performance effect of the first BOSS battle is also very nice.

The demos in the current game are not difficult to use, the simplest demo can be cast with just three buttons.

The protagonist manipulates the two weapons of guitar and bass. In the first boss battle, he even played a band effect, which is simply unstoppable.

After defeating the first BOSS, there is also a clue to unlock the hidden instrument.

Even follow-up DLC such as the legendary instrument "Xun" can be released.

In terms of the plot, it adopts the kind of funny world view of Q Meng, which matches the style of the game itself, which is also a proper bonus item.

Just judging from the idea of ​​this game, it is not a newcomer's work at all.

Luo Bai even had the idea of ​​giving an S-level evaluation, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still only gave it an A.

Without him, there are too many systems combined in the game Rhythm Soul.

Among the demos given so far, only guitar and bass are released.

Guitar hurts straight, bass assists.

Both sides are very good in terms of cooperation and player's operation feel.

But with the increasing number of musical instruments, can we still make a suitable distinction?
In terms of operating feel, will it appear too redundant for players to accept?

These are all questions.

I really look forward to what kind of finished product the author can give in the future, but for now, Luo Bai can only give an A-level evaluation.

"Confused"

A fan-oriented work by fans, author Wei Hu.

Psychic horror-themed games.

This kind of world double-crossing feels a bit like Silent Hill, with the warm real world on one side and the horrible nightmare of hell on the other.

But as the plot continues to deepen, it seems that the real world has also begun to be infected, and scenes from another world begin to gradually appear.

In order to find out the truth of the matter and to stop all this, the protagonist embarks on the road of finding the truth.

The author is good at creating a horror atmosphere, and this type of game also has some more loyal fans.

Grade B rating.

"The Devil's Revenge"

Author Lin Zishi.

It's exactly the Blue Star version of "Iratus: Lord of the Dead".

According to the author himself, he is an avid fan of the Dark Dungeon. When he was tortured by the stress monster, he also began to think about whether he could incarnate the stress monster and let human beings have a long memory.

After some thought, the prototype of this game came into being.

In the game, as the devil king, you need to control your monster army to conquer the human world.

Kill humans, get their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys, and combine them to create various monsters.

Each monster has its own focus, some have more physical damage, some have stronger magic, and some mainly suppress pressure damage.

How to combine is up to you.

Anyway, loyal fans of the dark dungeon should not miss this game.

Grade B rating.

"Neon Clothes Song"

Author Wu Jingwei, a martial arts game with the background of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, a game movie with the background of rivers, lakes and temples.

It is also the only 3D game selected in this seedling program.

Complementary heroes are not counted because the 3D of the main game content currently only accounts for a small part.

Lao Wu has been making domestic martial arts online games for these years, and there must be no problem with his technical accumulation in Fuhua Dao and architecture.

This time, it aimed at the field of stand-alone games, and naturally wanted to make a big noise.

The current demo only gives a prologue. Although the content has not been expanded, players can see the riddle talking in a cloud.

But the two key words "martial arts" and "top quality" have already excited everyone.

In terms of fighting, he is very fierce and unrestrained, and he has put in a lot of hard work.

The discussion on the neon clothes song on the Internet is also rising steadily, and the topic is a bit like "Black Myth: Wukong" on the topic.

Luo Bai himself also attached great importance to this project. After a serious exchange with Lao Wu himself, he also successfully obtained the script of Nishang Song.

How should I put it... Script 8 is too good.

It feels like a third-rate martial arts novel, and the character design is not too good.

After Lao Wu patted his chest and told Luo Bai that he would change the script when he went back and would give a satisfactory answer in the end, Luo Bai still finalized the project.

Of course, the ugly words Luo Bai also told Wu Jingwei earlier, if this work does not put a lot of effort into the plot, it will definitely lose money.

Even if this is a work chosen by Chuxin himself, when the Chuxin game media publicizes it in the end, whatever evaluation the game should be given is what evaluation it should be.

I will never ruin my reputation by giving high scores against my conscience.

The investment in "Neon Clothes Song" can cover the original intention, and we have the money to afford it.

But if you engage in small tricks and pocket your own money.

It's a small thing that your game maker's reputation stinks.

If this subject matter is banned for many years, you will definitely pay the price.

You can't offend Luo Bai if you offend anyone.

Wu Jingwei said on the spot that he wanted to make the theme of "Neon Clothes" just for his own game dream, and he would definitely not mess around.

In the end, Luo Bai gave a grade B evaluation.

"Mountain and Sea Story"

The author, Sun Mo, broke out from the countless GALs in this year's seedling project. Of course, Tale of Mountains and Seas has its own merits.

The elements of Yan Guo Shan Hai Jing, the cute and headless sissy beasts, and the dialogues that are very well combined with the domestic background, basically don't feel like a big drama.

Pure domestic GAL, this alone is enough to add points.

As long as it is done well, someone will definitely buy it.

However, this game is still the only C-level evaluation in this seedling program.

Why is it so low?
Because this Sand Sculpture, Sun Mo, has no follow-up script at all!
Generally speaking, if you are doing GAL, don't talk about a complete script, you must have a minimum plot framework.

What kind of person is Sun Mo?
I have an idea in my mind, pull my artist, open the game development software and do it!

Everything can be found wherever you want.

In other words, the current demo is all the content that Sun Mo has produced so far.

There is nothing left in my mind.

Luo Bai was shocked when he found out about this.

Of course, he definitely didn't want to see the follow-up plot because he was a bit of a fan of the game, he just simply couldn't understand Sun Mo's behavior.

But the idea of ​​this game is indeed okay, there is no other way, let this guy go back and hold back slowly.

Hey, it's still Yu Sheng's line. After four years of hard work, Mizuki took off directly after holding back his book.

Who knows when the game Shan Hai Tale will come out to meet you?
Judging by the speed at which I make games, maybe by then the development of Resident Evil 2 has been completed, and half of Shan Hai Tale has not yet been produced.

But this kind of thing can't be rushed.

I gave Sun Mozhe a warning that he must make the game well, and by the way, I gave him a picture of how well the author of "Shuimu" is doing now.

This year's initial heart seedling program can be regarded as a successful conclusion.

However, with the announcement of the results, the buzzing public opinion from the outside world clearly showed that some people were not quite able to accept this result.

　My brain cells died yesterday, but I still haven't suffocated it
　　Today's thinking is very smooth, there is really something behind
