Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 271 Another Madeleine
After bidding farewell to Theo, the journey to Mount Celeste was still so difficult.

In the live broadcast room, the players watched Er Xiao's hands and brain fight again and again, repeating it again and again.

Angry and anxious, they were scrolling through the barrage one after another for fun.

I have to admire Mr. Luo's ingenuity in designing such games.

It's just such a few simple mechanisms, in his hands, it's like playing with flowers.

The design of each level not only makes players feel that this place is extremely simple, but it is only when they really start to operate that they feel that they are so pig-nosed.

But this feeling does not bring any frustration to the player.

Because everyone clearly realizes that whether it is because of the handle, operation, reaction or other reasons.

In fact, the mystery is very simple, you only need to try again and again, and finally you can successfully break through these levels.

In the end, Erxiao successfully broke through the abandoned city and reached the end of Chapter 1.

There are no organs, no props, and what stands here is a solemn-looking stone tablet.

[Celeste Hill]
[in memory of those]
[The explorer who gave his life for mountaineering]
The wind and snow in the sky are blowing like a knife blade all the time.

But this monument still stands here, unchanged from ancient times.

"It's a bit touching, so is this game a game to commemorate mountaineering explorers?
As Theo said earlier, Mount Celeste is special. Could it be that Madeleine's parents died accidentally because of climbing this mountain?
Is it because she couldn't bear such a blow that she embarked on the same path as her father, wanting to conquer this place to comfort her parents' spirits in heaven? "

"This idea makes sense. It looks like it. Holy shit, Theo feels like he should know little Madeleine's parents."

"It feels wrong. If it were to commemorate mountaineering explorers, Mr. Luo would make the game more realistic.

All kinds of climbing equipment, and other things should be fully armed.

Rather than climbing a mountain like a child's play like now. "

"Mr. Luo's writing of plots is usually very obscure. The way of thinking just now is a bit too old-fashioned."

Discussions about the plot of Azure are also divided.

Indeed, many players have given some convincing conjectures.

But things like the plot can always be seen as the game progresses.

When Er Xiao controls Madeleine to continue walking to the right, on the right side of an extinguished bonfire, the game triggers the plot.

Madeleine's little face was full of exhaustion:
"Ah, I'm dying."

The sky seemed to be getting darker, and Madeleine lit a bonfire, getting as close to the flame as possible to keep herself warmer.

The bonfire is like a jumping elf, and the shadow of the fire reflected on the background wall is also swaying.

Madeline squatted on the ground and moved her head deeply between her legs, revealing only a pair of big doubtful eyes.

The eyes blinked, and the blue bird that guided Madeleine along the way came from nowhere and landed on the top of the climber, as if he took this place as his new nest.

"It might be a mistake."

Chapter 1, the end of the abandoned city.

At the end of the chapter, little Madeleine sat by the fire and slept with a big snot bubble, which made people laugh.

But when Er Xiao pressed OK and the game returned to the 3D Celeste Mountain interface, more data in Chapter 1 also changed accordingly.

[Number of deaths: 256]
[Strawberry: 14/20]
What's even more murderous is that the number of deaths did not pop up so much at the beginning, but gradually increased to more than 200 bit by bit.

"Hahahaha! That's so right, so right! Why is Wei Lan so considerate? He has already calculated the number of deaths for you."

"Er Xiao: I'm not a colored pen. If I die more than 200 times, can this be called a colored pen?"

"16X16."

In fact, it is not so funny to die so many times.

Weilan's game is also seen by everyone, it is not a very easy game.

Before I couldn't stand it, some of Erxiao's levels felt really bad. When I was dying without stopping, some water friends were there asking.

"By the way, is there any statistics from Mr. Counting, how many times has this old woman died?"

"Forgot, the old woman died so fast that I didn't even have time to react.

Maybe if my mind wanders, the data will be completely wrong. "

"This game is different from Ma Zao. After Ma Zao dies, there are obvious sound effects and an animation of the green mushroom minus one. This game does not have that, and the death penalty is almost non-existent."

"It feels like five or six hundred times."

Er Xiao looked at these barrages and couldn't help feeling angry.

"Five or six hundred times? I haven't played Chapter 1 for 10 minutes yet, and it's only five or six hundred times if I die once a second!

It's purely embarrassing, okay. "

"How many times have you died?"

"I feel like it's been dozens of times."

"Definitely more than dozens of times! There must have been hundreds of times."

"At most 100 times, I have passed many levels without dying."

Er Xiao said forcefully.

As a result, just as they finished climbing to the top, they were directly slapped in the face by Weilan's death data in the next second.

Er Xiao's face was slapped from the beating.

Dozens of times, up to more than 100 times.

Looking at the results, 256 times is still 16 times.

"Er Xiao understands the effects of the program, hahaha."

"You were born to play live broadcast!"

"Good food! It feels so good to die! Good food! It feels so good to die!"

There was another wave of demons dancing in the live broadcast room.

In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, Er Xiao decided to find a topic that could divert everyone's attention.

"No... why did I only get 14 strawberries? I remember I got all the strawberries?"

Er Xiao kept turning the number of strawberries with the mouse, puzzled.

"Have you forgotten what kind of game Mr. Luo started from?"

"mirror! (sure)"

"Forehead……"

Er Xiao also felt a little dizzy.

"I just passed the level without paying attention to hiding at all. Damn it, my blood pressure was a bit high playing this game, but they asked me to pay attention to hiding. It's just ridiculous."

But obviously, as an excellent game producer, meeting the needs of players is the most important thing to do.

When Erxiao selected Chapter 1 of the game again, he found that Chapter 1 was split into three parts.

Beginning, crossroads, canyon.

Players can freely choose these three parts to challenge again, so as to complete the demand for collection elements.

At the beginning there were six strawberries, but Er Xiao missed one.

There were nine strawberries at the crossroads, but Er Xiao missed three.

Of the five strawberries in the canyon, Er Xiao missed not only two but also a rectangular one.

"How can I miss so many things! I don't think I'm blind!"

"Fart, it's obviously a blind anchor, so I'm convinced that I can't see it even if it's so obvious."

“I don’t know who played TR last time but didn’t see The Sword in the Stone, haha.”

"Go back and collect strawberries!"

"Who said just now that he wants to collect them all?"

However, Er Xiao obviously has no intention of going back to play Chapter 1 again.

Players who watched the live broadcast for the first time when the game was first released basically would not consider buying the game in the near future, or would like to wait and see.

Collecting things like this can be done after the first wave of Weilan’s enthusiasm ends, or after the end of the first episode, the most important thing now is to continue to push the plot to keep people.

Chapter 2 of the game is called "Old Site".

On the 3D Celeste Mountain, the overall shape is somewhat similar to a stone watchtower.

Of course, it is called the old site, so it must be dilapidated.

When the game starts, the first thing that catches the eye is a postcard.

"To Madeleine:
Strawberries will impress your friends, but nothing more.

Only collect when you really need to. "

Immediately, Erxiao stopped pretending to be dead.As if it was a message that the eunuch had received the imperial edict, he spoke majestically towards some barrages in the live broadcast room asking him to go back and get strawberries.

"See, the production team asked me to push the pictures first, and let's collect all the pictures and play them after the first episode."

When Madeleine woke up from the night, the originally glowing red bonfire had turned into a strange green.

The characters on the stone tablet on Mount Celeste began to move strangely.

However, the most obvious change comes from the sky.

Countless stars fell, gathering into a meteor shower, and sprinkled the world.

Madeleine raised her head and looked at it for an unknown amount of time, but she still came to her senses.

Although she didn’t know what happened, the mountain was still there and she would continue to climb.

All the way to the left, the conveyor belt that used to occupy the absolute mainstream in the abandoned city no longer exists here.

An irregular rectangle appeared in the field of view of all players.

This new level structure looks like a giant shaped blob of jelly with gray and white cross patterns dotted in the middle.

It can be climbed and stepped on, but other than that, this thing is no different from a platform.

"How is this thing used?"

Er Xiao kept hitting these jelly blocks with his thrusts, but nothing happened.

Even as you continue to advance through the map, many strawberries are hidden under these jelly blocks and are simply out of reach.

"It should be that there is something special that hasn't been triggered yet, just like the one in the prologue who got the rush ability."

"Continue to push the map and definitely find a way."

"It's over."

And when Er Xiao started to explore the old site of freedom, a suspicious rectangular blue mirror entered everyone's field of vision.

However, the road leading to this mirror is full of spikes, and requires the green zero stone to borrow power twice in the air.

He also died more than ten times before he managed to reach the room of the mirror.

But when Madeleine met her own eyes in the mirror, all players could clearly see it.

A Madeleine with purple hair and red eyes appeared in the mirror.

The two Madeleines looked at each other with a mirror, and suddenly, the entire mirror shattered.

The purple-haired Madeline escaped from the mirror, and the jelly block that was as smelly and hard as a latrine was instantly activated.

The dreamy filled black is like the night sky, and the original off-white cross pattern is also colorful and magnificent.

As for the effect of the jelly block, Er Xiao immediately tested it.

As long as you sprint against these jelly blocks, you can slide inside like water.

But inside the jelly block, it is impossible to change its own direction. If the other side of going out is thinking, Madeleine will die instantly.

Just like the previous mechanical transmission platform, the jelly blocks are obviously the core of the level design idea of ​​this level.

Moreover, it is a completely different design idea!

"It's quite fun to swim in here, hahaha!"

"Mr. Luo is really a genius. Based on this guy's usual peeing, it is estimated that every chapter has a brand new core element.

Turtle, I’m really looking forward to the next process! "

"Because you can't change your direction here after the dash, so there is a lot to say from what angle you should sprint.

Moreover, the jelly block can also be moved, and a timing mechanism has been introduced, so the changes are endless. "

Adaptation to the new mechanism naturally takes time.

However, this is also the essence of Azure's game.

Each new mechanism is simple but not simple. It not only allows players to get started quickly, but also can continue to make new tricks.

The blind chicken rushed wildly, and then died directly because there was no gap on the opposite side.

There was no telling how many skulls were left here, and Erxiao finally caught up with the escaped purple-haired Madeleine.

She had a relaxed and comfortable smile on her lips, her eyes were scarlet like a vampire, and she had mysterious and luxurious purple hair.

"Madeleine, honey, take it easy."

She was kind to Madeleine.

"Who is speaking?"

Madeleine was a little puzzled.

"Oh, I'm just your spectator."

Looking at the guy who was almost exactly like her floating in the air, Madeleine asked hesitantly:
"you are me?"

"I'm another you."

"Why does the other me look so weird?"

"..."

The weird Madeleine was obviously not very happy with the Lord's statement, and raised her mouth in dissatisfaction.

"This is what I am, okay, get over it."

The players were indeed amused by the dialogue between these two guys.

I thought it was life and death.

As a result, one was very friendly to the other, but the other didn't seem to know how to speak, which left people speechless.

"Laughing to death, get over it."

"Madeleine, both positive and negative, are so cute, woo woo woo."

"Let's not talk about purple-haired Madeleine."

Madeleine also knew that she had said something wrong:

"Sorry, that's not what I meant."

"never mind."

Anti-Madeleine put her hands on her chest, the cool girl said indifferently,

"I can't tell you how easy it is to finally get out of your head.

However, I have concerns about us.

We need a hobby, but this..."

“I know it seems crazy, but I’m going to climb this mountain.”

Madeleine responded seriously.

"You can do a lot, honey, but you're never a mountaineer."

"Who said I couldn't?"

Madeleine asked back.

"I know it's not your specialty, be sensible.

You don't know what situation you're going to get into, you can't handle it. "

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this version of herself that had escaped from Madeleine's mind was using all means to persuade Madeleine to give up climbing.

"That's exactly why I need to do this."

Madeleine was obviously inspired by her rebellious psychology, and she even said sarcastically,

"Are you a weak other me or a lazy other me?"

"I'm a pragmatic alter-ego, and now I hope to convince you to give up climbing.

Let's go home together. "

Like an ultimatum, when Er Xiao was able to continue to control Madeleine, the purple-haired Madeleine suddenly launched a frantic pursuit of Madeleine.

Actually, Erxiao still didn't feel anything about such a sudden development.

Chase, I've played it many times.

But after I really got started, I realized that damn it, the intensity of this chase is too high!
On the one hand, you need to avoid the pursuit of another self, and on the other hand, you have to break through the many traps on the map to pass the level.

As for the strawberries on the road, I had no time to touch them.

The previous rhetoric about taking all the strawberries seemed like a joke.

It is extremely difficult to ensure that you will not die.

Erxiao didn't even have time to respond to the pop-up screen. He was staring at the screen intently, and the controller in his hand flew up.

If you are not careful, you will start all over again!
Just Chapter 2 of the game has completely shattered all previous contempt for the difficulty of this game!
(End of this chapter)
