Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 318 Plot
"From the perspective of a hunter, what kind of story does Bloodborne tell?"

Looking at the tentative title in front of him, the expression on the face of Stay Up Panda was quite helpless.

I originally thought that I could give Bloodborne a more self-explanatory and in-depth dig in a systematic way, but after actually collecting the text information I needed in the game, I realized that the amount of information hidden in this game is so huge.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s contaminated with cultural symbols that are inherently chaotic and chaotic, which makes the whole story even more obscure and difficult to understand compared to Dark Souls.

If he really starts from the "Sumeru Dynasty", the origin of the timeline, it is not impossible. In that case, by the time he makes these few videos and uploads them successfully, the first wave of popularity will have long gone.

In this case, it is better to write the plot first and then slowly add the background.

release!

Under the superposition of popular keywords such as "Bloodborne" and "Plot Analysis", the video was quickly pushed to the homepages of countless fans.

"Teacher Orange Cat, okay! This is too efficient."

“I’ve long been itching for the plot of this game, and now I can finally get a glimpse of it.”

"Wherever there is blood, there is me!"

Under such a barrage, the first thing everyone heard was the stacked armor of Up Stay Up Late Orange Cat himself.

“All the content in this video comes from the text information in the game, as well as some speculations by up himself.

If you have different opinions, you are welcome to discuss them in the comment area or privately chat with me. Viewers who are possessed by Zuan or start a fight on the spot will be banned as soon as possible.

thanks for your support! "

[The rotating wheels moved from near to far on the screen, hitting the stones on the ground, causing the entire carriage to tremble violently.

Under the driver's whip, the carriage drove through a wild arc in the dense forest, drifted forward, and headed forward. ]
The picture in front of you will definitely be familiar to the first-time fans.

Because this is the CG of Lao Lu in Luo Bai’s very representative work Dark Dungeon.

Along with this, the magnetic voice of the late-night panda also began to tell the story.

“At the very beginning of the story, our protagonist, a stranger, receives an invitation letter from Cainhurst Castle.

Either due to the need for blood therapy or the exploration of pale blood, the hunter decided to embark on this less traveled road to the legendary 'hometown of blood therapy' Yanan. "

"Obviously they are two games, but the opening CG of Orange Cat doesn't feel inconsistent to me at all, haha."

"After all, these are all games made by the old thief Luo Bai, and they are all in the style of Cthulhu.

The taste of our ancestors' descendants going to Hamlet is similar to the taste of today's hunters going to Yharnam.

A very classic opening design. "

"Well, indeed, the only possibility is that the painting style is a little different."

A few discussion barrages floated by, but the orange cat's narration continued.

"In the clinic, the protagonist was deceived by an old man, injected with blood from Yanan, and signed a contract.

Yanan's blood is a very dangerous thing. On the one hand, it can make people break through their own upper limits and become unusually powerful. On the other hand, it can also arouse the animal nature hidden deep in people's hearts, making people completely Become a beast.

This is similar to the Cthulhu mythology system created by the old man who loves craftsmanship. Ordinary people become crazy after being polluted by information from ancient gods and other existences.

In a dream between a beast and a messenger, the beast is burned to death by flames. This is actually a metaphor.

The protagonist finally uses his humanity to defeat his beastliness and accepts the messenger.

From then on, we became a hunter, an alien hunter. "

"The beast represents the animal nature deep inside us? This speculation is indeed very reasonable."

"So who is that old guy who injected us with blood?"

"I don't know. This old guy only appears once in the game from beginning to end, and there is no amount of information that can be mined.

The only thing that can be explored is whether everything the protagonist experienced during the entire process happened in the real Yanan or in a dream.

However, there is no definite conclusion regarding this information. "

The last barrage obviously came from a private figure who has studied the game deeply, and many players also stopped watching.

“If you don’t over-interpret it, the plot of Bloodborne itself is actually very simple and clear.

It's nothing more than a story in which the protagonist, the hunter, spends one night to end the nightmare.

In summary:

I'm not being humble at all. How could I, a patient from a foreign land, end up working as a hunter in Yanan?

However, Comrade German said, "We have already studied and decided, you are here to end the nightmare."

So then I read two poems called "Double-wielding the Holy Sword to Seconds the World, Carmen's Poison Knife teaches how to be a human being", and then I came to the dreamland.

There was nothing else to do in Dreamland for a whole night, mainly three things.

One is to smash all the ancient gods to pieces, the second is to turn the doll into his own wife, and the third is to eat three umbilical cords and become an ancient god himself. "

"Nothing wrong, hahaha."

"You said it well, so I chose to wake up directly from the nightmare."

"You said it well, so Miss Moon Monster chooses you to be the final spokesperson."

The orange cat who stayed up late played a little joke, and his tone was a bit amused.

“However, for UP like us, who dig deep into the plot, we definitely cannot summarize the past like this, because such an episode would be too short.

But digging deeper, I deeply feel that one issue is definitely not enough time.

Therefore, the content of this issue is mainly aimed at players who have not experienced the game in person, but after the game is clouded, they still have little understanding of the plot of the game.

Only the background and history of Yharnan that are hidden behind the game and have nothing to do with the protagonist hunter will be updated by the author in the subsequent process.

Without further ado, let’s get started. "

After Orange Cat set a basic tone for this video, he didn’t say much and got to work.

“At the very beginning of the story, when the hunter came to Yanan, he was shocked by what he saw.

Not to mention the unfriendly townspeople everywhere. There is even a disease called lycanthropy that is popular here. People who suffer from this disease will gradually start to transform their body parts into beasts.

In the most serious case, the entire person will turn into a beast, and no human characteristics will be visible anymore. "

“Hospitable Yharnam town.”

"Hmph! Just a despicable foreigner."

The players were also happily playing tricks.

"But it doesn't matter, because the purpose of the hunter's trip is to find the blood of darkness and use blood therapy to treat himself.

After learning that the Healing Church's blood therapy was very useful, the hunter also wanted to go to the Cathedral District.

Unexpectedly, the bridge was blocked and the only way was through the sewer.

After killing the priests, beasts, and priests one after another, I just arrived at the Cathedral District, only to find that the Church Town was also locked up.

Rich brother can spend [-] to buy a badge and pass directly, but what should the hunter do if he has no money?We can only go to Old Yharnam below Yharnam and kill the beast that coughs up blood.After being killed, the door to the Healing Church was also opened.

But the hunter who accidentally interrupted the Archbishop's prayers discovered that the Archbishop had transformed directly into a terrifying sheep-shaped beast.

How can a hunter tolerate this bird spirit?Archbishop, right?Kill it!
However, judging from this situation, it is obvious that the blood therapy of the Healing Church is obviously unreliable.

But then, the hunter got another clue.

Beast transformation is probably related to Master William of Bilgenworth. "

At this time, some netizens are already making memes.

"Master William? Kill him!"

"Wherever you go, this is my brother Yanan!"

"It's true, that is, the invisible Uldun guy never showed his health bar from the beginning to the end, otherwise I would kill him for you to see."

"At the touch of the Cathedral Skull, it becomes dark and the path to the Forbidden Forest is opened.

After killing the three shadows guarding the gate, the hunter finally arrived at the viewing platform of Bilgenworth and successfully met Master William.

At this time, the hunter learned that the original sin of all things was actually the blood of the superior.

It is mankind's pursuit and madness for blood that leads to all disasters.

Pandora's Box was opened by Master William. He was a pioneer in exploring underground ruins and the proposer of the concept of improving one's spiritual vision and then communicating with superiors.

Likewise, he is the one who puts the brakes on destruction.

Master William asked the hunter to jump into the sea. The hunter jumped and found a disgusting big spider.

The superior stupid spider Rom, this guy has the power of backtracking. It is because it keeps using backtracking that the blood moon has not arrived, so this hunting night seems extra long.

And the blood moon cannot come, which means that the superior one cannot come.

Certain rituals to summon superiors have also been delayed.

Master William also used this method to maintain a fragile balance, which prevented the entire Yanan from being completely swallowed up by the nightmare.

But in real life, although the superior person cannot come, the nightmare still exists, and the threat of lycanthropy is also increasing day by day.

There is an urgent need for someone who can break the nightmare.

The test before this son of destiny is to kill Rom.

Therefore, Roma is a very critical node in the game.

The hunter is undoubtedly such a child of destiny.

Rom's death led to the advent of the Blood Moon, the moment when Queen Sumeru's spirit appeared before the hunter's eyes.

The source of the nightmare ultimately points to Mego, the superior in Mansis' nightmare.

After killing the God of Rebirth created by the Mensis sect through dark rituals, the hunter was able to successfully enter the nightmare.

After killing Mikrash, the owner of the nightmare, and Megao's wet nurse who was attracted by Megao's cry.

The hunter was finally able to end his nightmare.

After returning to the Hunter's Dreamland, there are three endings that we are very familiar with. "

After spending a short time to go through the entire main quest, Stay Up Late Orange Cat also started to do some brief background expansion on the main quest.

About Sumer, about the Golden Cup, about Byrgen Voss, about the superiors and so on.

"Reproduction, this concept runs through the core of the plot of the game Bloodborne."

“The superiors all want to give birth to their own children, and there is a kind of competition-like relationship between the superiors.

But it seems that the Moon Monster is the ultimate winner, and no matter which ending, the nightmare has been cleared. "

“I personally don’t agree very much with UP’s critical attitude towards people like Sumer and Yanan who are crazy about chasing blood.

In fact, in my opinion, the meaning expressed by the old thief is very clear. Whether it is Dark Souls or Bloodborne, what is implicit in it actually refers to a pursuit.

The search for transcendence.

Thirst for fire among the black souls and become the king; pursue blood among the blood sources and become the superior.

This kind of pursuit is fundamentally the process of racial pursuit of progress, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Even if it fails, even if it brings ultimate destruction, there is nothing wrong with it.

So are there any old thieves who think that as human beings continue to pursue science and technology, they will eventually destroy themselves due to technological progress? "

"Destruction has never been the theme of the Souls series, because in the end players will find that the most powerful existence in the entire game is the 'undead' and 'hunter' you control.

It is up to the players to decide where the entire world will go.

Choosing hope is hope, choosing destruction is destruction. "

……

The sales data of Bloodborne also fed back to the original intention from PS.

170 million copies. Don’t think this number is low. After all, PS7 sold about 300 million units worldwide during its first launch. In other words, more than half of the players who bought PS7 also bought Bloodborne at the same time. .

This number is already quite exaggerated.

In a sense, it has been able to prove the huge influence of the IP of the Soul series in the field of gaming in the world today.

As for sales, due to the sales pricing of console games, it is actually not lower than those games released by Chuxin on all platforms.

But what followed was that PS once again proposed a contract renewal intention to Chuxin.

In the words, there is even an idea that if you are rich, you can set the price as you please.

However, Luo Bai still rejected this seemingly tempting suggestion.

On the one hand, Bloodborne's PS exclusive is to repay Sony for her help in the early days of the original game.

On the other hand, the PC players on the earth next door were not able to play Bloodborne until their death. Luo Bai was also one of the tortured students during his school days. Although he completed the ticket replenishment after going to work, Blue Star was not allowed to play. PC gamers are waiting anxiously as if something is missing.

As of now...

It seems like the game is a bit big.

Now, his personal account on the entire network is full of jokesters who can't get enough of it.

What about "maniacally reciting the Great Compassion Mantra and slapping one's own cow", "what about rolling on the ground", "what about waiting for another eight years".

However, eight years is an exaggeration. Three years later, the PC DLC "Old Hunter" will be completed in Bloodborne, and two years later, Soul III will be completed.

Now many projects under Chuxin are nearing completion. It will not be a dream to release a new game in three months.

Rush and it's over.

　Yesterday I deleted everything I wrote at the end of the day. I forgot to send the leave request note and went to bed. Sorry... ugh.
