Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 319 This is my war
[For soldiers, war is only about victory or defeat, but for us, it is about survival]
The man's deep voice came from his ears.

The tone was a little flat, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.

But the word "survive" is so heavy.

Between such a comparison, the hearts of every onlooker are unconsciously pinched.

The simple guitar melody carries a national flavor with strong regional characteristics, and it seems to be able to draw people into the picture at once.

Er Xiao's face didn't look as happy and funny as he did after interacting with fans just after the show started.

Exactly three months have passed since the release of Bloodborne, and Chuxin's sudden release of a work has still caused thousands of waves.

Although the original fast shooter has already become a meme among domestic and foreign players by word of mouth, the three-month incident is still a bit exaggerated.

But the product produced with the original intention must be a high-quality product.

Mr. Luo has always strived for excellence in the game and always kept the players in mind. He still made everyone bet on this new game with the greatest enthusiasm as soon as they heard the news.

As a loyal fan from the beginning, Erxiao certainly cannot miss it.

Just as she brought her friends in the live broadcast room today, she planned to take a look at the news of Chuxin's new work together as usual.

But the name of the game that caught their eyes made many people stunned.

"This is my war"

The theme of war is not an unpopular theme in the gaming industry.

Especially after the entire Blue Star recovered from the haze of World War II, it is now in an environment of overall peace and local conflicts.

Peace is the main theme of today's development.

Not to mention the new generation, the people of the previous generation have long been far away from the flames of war.

The only people who can be exposed to war may be some dramas on TV and the education they have been exposed to since childhood.

There is always a layer between the cruelty of war in books and my own personal experience.

Under such circumstances.

"What is war really like?" This question always arouses people's imagination.

Under such a scenario, many game companies are targeting this market.

If you have the conditions and ability, do some modern battles.

In the game, you can become a member of an internationally renowned mysterious team and go to an extremely dangerous place to perform a very challenging mission.

Experience the latest firearms, experience the most realistic gun battles, and be the best soldier who leads the team to complete the mission.

Those who don’t have the technical skills will find other ways.

If you can't make it real, just don't make it real. The main thing is to have a low threshold, fast pace, and easy to use.

In China, we have also achieved the terrifying achievement of having 600 million people online at the same time.

But This War of Mine is obviously completely different from the two games above.

Because no matter what kind of war game it is, no matter whether the player plays a war commander or a soldier, he will eventually be a hero who controls the situation of the war.

Turn the tide and support the building before it collapses.

However, this opening sentence has already explained the game very clearly.

"For us, it's survival."

Who can survive in a war?
civilian.

The largest proportion of ordinary people in the world.

After the original logo, the actual screen of the game comes into view.

The horizontal 3D art style displays the cross-section of a large house in front of all viewers.

Rectangular squares one after another represent rooms, and rooms are connected by corridors.

Black, white and gray are undoubtedly the main tone, and the whole house is dark and depressing.

But the ironic thing is that the brightest place in the whole house is the walls and ceiling that look like they have collapsed after being hit by a shell.

There are so many details in the house.

Behind the closed door, dense white cables will be used to blur the objects in the room.

The chandelier near the damaged wall will sway with the sound of wind.

Of course, in war, talents should be the main target of portrayal.

At this moment, "we" in the room are some civilians.

Some people were sitting on chairs to rest, some were holding shovels to clean up the debris at home, and some were holding hammers to repair broken windows.

But everyone's actions and bodies instinctively revealed a kind of exhaustion.

It comes from a double blow to the mind and body.

The screen turned and focused on the door of the house.

The ground and trees outside the door were covered with a layer of silvery white, indicating that winter had arrived.

The boy in thin clothes shivered a little at the door, but he still bravely knocked on "our" door.

He prayed to us as protagonists:

"Sir...can you help our mother?"

The screen turns again.

Inside the house, a dialog box above a man sitting in a chair states "It's getting colder."

[I was living in hell with these people, we were a team and we were willing to do anything to survive. ]
Use an ax to hack at the cabinet hard just to dismantle it.

During the war, using it as firewood was the best way to get through the situation.

into the night.

Squatting in front of someone else's house, carefully peeking inside.

There were only two defenseless old men in the room.

"I hope our son can escape this city."

Grandma said to Grandpa.

[I will never forget these scenes]
"Get out immediately!"

The man was holding a weapon and scolding an uninvited guest who had just broken into his house.

The next second, he was chopped down with an axe, and fell completely with blood spattering.

[These things you see in the war will stay with you]
[forever]
Searching for the remaining supplies in the ruins.

"Help me, please..."

Help the dying person sitting in the corner.

While crawling in the city, he was hit in the thigh by a bullet that came from nowhere.

"If you go any further I'll shoot!"

He was severely scolded by heavily armed soldiers.

"I can't believe he just left..."

"Why are you doing this to me!"

"Run!"

"Go forward! Otherwise I will kill you!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three muffled gunshots.

"This is my war"

Erxiao's throat relaxed a little.

From beginning to end of the entire PV, Erxiao didn't say a word, and the entire live broadcast room was sparse and deserted.

This is not a normal situation.

Based on past original games, even if you just play a meme, there will be many people playing it very enthusiastically.

But this is not the case only in Erxiao’s live broadcast room.The lower left corner of the Xiaopozhan video shows that 2+ people are watching it, but the comments are scattered here and there.

Everyone, I was just a little shocked by "This War of Mine".

Suddenly, a barrage flashed on the screen:
"I never thought that war could be portrayed from this perspective."

Erxiao then took a long breath:

"Brothers, Mr. Luo's new work is quite awesome."

"From a civilian perspective, I can feel a strong sense of despair just by watching this PV."

"Ordinary people are like cattle and sheep to be slaughtered in a war."

"In a war, there is no order. I can't even imagine what ordinary people would do in order to survive."

Many editors also immediately made relevant news into short videos and short articles, and began to send push streams across the entire network.

"A rare war theme, originally intended to reveal the cruelty of war to you from the perspective of ordinary people"

But this latest first-hand news has attracted a lot of attention, but it has not won much discussion.

How should I put it? War is very cruel.

Many people will pay attention, but are not willing to talk more.

Because everyone knows very well that in such a cruel war, what ordinary people can do is actually very limited.

The feeling of powerlessness makes people feel uncomfortable.

Avoiding talking about it can be regarded as a kind of protection for oneself.

However, players have already added "This War of Mine" to their wish lists on Steam.

Everyone can't wait to experience it for themselves. In this game, what kind of dilemma does a civilian face if he wants to survive.

……

"coming!"

"'This War of Mine' will be broadcast today. I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Actually, this kind of game feels like it's only interesting if you play it for the first time. The feeling of communicating with everyone and not encountering any spoilers is really enjoyable."

"This War of Mine", add to shopping cart, scan the QR code to pay.

After Erxiao greeted everyone as usual, he entered the game directly.

[first day]
The game screen gradually moved to the right, and a cross-section of a house that had been seen in the PV unfolded before everyone's eyes.

"I don't know if it's because of the settings. The game screen is now darker than what I saw in the PV. There is no light at all."

"The house is so broken."

"Set a small goal first and repair your home first."

Er Xiao encouraged herself.

[When the Civil War broke out, many people thought it would only last a few weeks.

But it's been several years since government forces cornered the rebels in the capital, cutting off all supplies.

The civilians trapped in the city have been suffering from hunger, disease and war. ]
[Kaidya knew Pavlei and Bruno before the war broke out.

She used to be a journalist, Bruno had his own cooking TV show, Pavle was a star local football player, and Kedia even interviewed him once.

Now people and things are different. When we meet again, everyone is running for food and shelter. ]
The game briefly gives a background introduction, and then the UI system in the game naturally emerges.

The upper left corner shows the time and temperature of the game.

It's the first daytime now, it's six in the morning, and the temperature is 17 degrees Celsius.

The words "our belongings" and "ending the day" are quite easy to understand.

In the lower right corner, there are three character cards.

Pavlie is a handsome young white man, but the scars on his face show the damage the war has done to him.

The comment below "the fastest man" is undoubtedly consistent with the background introduction given by the game.

Bruno is a bearded man with glasses and a professional chef, but the system shows that he is slightly unwell.

As the only woman in this temporary team, Katya is good at bargaining.

“So this is our initial golden triangle, and it seems quite reasonable.

Pavlie is fast and good at collecting supplies, Bruno is good at cooking, and Katya is good at trading. "

After Erxiao commented on the initial three characters, he also began to try to control them to do something.

For example, on the pile of ruins on the third floor, there is an icon that looks like a palm.

Erxiao chose Pavlie to click on the palm. It can only be said that a sprinter is indeed a sprinter. He ran to the third floor easily and started searching on the ground.

Soon, a portion of herbs, thirteen parts, and eight pieces of wood were put into the bag.

"Okay, let's go to Pantech. Let's get things like the workbench set up first."

There are actually many survival games like this on the market.

Herbs are used to make medicine, and wood parts are used to make workbenches and tools.

This is actually easy for everyone to understand.

As long as the tool is knocked out, the efficiency will directly rise to a higher level.

It can be said that one of the great features of this type of game is the process of technological advancement.

Next, Er Xiao began to direct these three people to start farming vigorously.

The blocked door was opened directly, and the supplies were collected directly by the little hands. There were piles of rubble on the road that were blocking the road and they were dug away.

The planing efficiency was too slow, and a dialog box popped up above the person working:

"It would be nice to have a shovel."

"I also want a shovel, isn't there one?"

Erxiao smiled and wanted to take Pavlie to the workbench to have a look, but the mouse was not selected. Instead, Katya, who was halfway digging the hole, let go.

"What are you doing? Just dig the hole."

Erxiao was in a hurry and called Katya back.

After clicking on Pavlie with the mouse, he successfully called Pavlie to the workbench.

It would be enough to make a metal workbench.

The game also unlocks some crafting tools.

Equipment-type crowbars, lock picks, and shovels.

Weapon type knife.

Make a lock pick, make a shovel, clean the house.

The whole day passed quietly in the intense busyness.

"I gained weight one after another. I had a lot of things and could cook a lot of things. I just ate a little less."

Erxiao's face was filled with joy.

But when the time came to eight o'clock in the evening, an interface popped up naturally.

[Plan a night]
Each character has four choices to make during the night.

To seek, to guard, to sleep, to sleep in a bed.

Because Erxiao did not sit in bed during the day, the last option was gray.

Erxiao gave it a try and found that when she chose Pavlie for search, she could not choose Bruno for search. She nodded slightly:

"So only one person can go out every night."

There are three places to explore.

"Abandoned cabin", "villa ruins", "quiet room".

Under the names of these places, there is a short introduction and the classification of materials in the area.

[Abandoned cabin]
[A family once hid here, but despite their efforts, robbers broke in.

The hut is abandoned, however, we may find something that the robbers neglected or abandoned. ]
[A lot of food, a lot of materials, some medicine, a lot of weapons, a lot of accessories]
