Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 87 Summary of the Dungeon
One month after the official launch of the Dark Dungeon, a player finally successfully passed all the trials of the final copy of the game "Extremely Dark Dungeon" and witnessed the end of the game.

It turns out that the ancestor is the culprit of everything, that is, the man who sent the suicide note and let us inherit the family business.

The skeletons everywhere in the ruins are the product of the taboo between him and death, which he studied together with the Necromancer in pursuit of eternal life.

The prophet's eyes that were taken off were dug out by himself in endless panic after he discovered the crazy conspiracy of his ancestors, and was forced by his ancestors to watch the opened door hidden in the ground together.

The pigmen in the beast den are the next-best substitutes because the human experimental subjects are too expensive.

The invisible flesh and blood are the leftovers of the black magic of the ancestors.

The spores and plagues in the wilderness were caused by the joint study of alchemy between the ancestors and the young and beautiful witch.

The bandits who lingered in it were hired by the ancestors at a high price to suppress the residents of the town.

The siren in the bay is a young girl who was kidnapped by the ancestor and admired him, and the ancestor used it to exchange money with the murloc.

The drowned captain was a pirate who transported dirt for the ancestors. Because he was unwilling to pay the reward, the ancestors used black magic to curse the anchor and dragged it into the bottomless deep sea...

And everything is because the ancestors discovered the essence of the dark dungeon world.

Everything has the same root and origin, this planet is a strange group of ancient gods of flesh and blood, and everything is a part of this group of ancient gods of flesh and blood.

It's just that the core of this flesh and blood monster is imprisoned deep in the center of the earth, and you, the protagonist, under the mansion of the family for generations, is the gate that imprisoned this flesh and blood ancient god.

The ancestor wanted to use necromancy to annihilate his body, and use his soul to replace the consciousness of the flesh and blood ancient god. He wanted to become a god!
But the sealed ancient god of flesh and blood was too weak, and the ancestors needed a lot of death to nourish it.

Then who can help the ancestors to create a large number of deaths after their death?
That is of course us as heirs.

With the sound of horseshoes, heirs who coveted property and status came in droves.

We caused a lot of murders in the process of restoring the town.

Whether it is evil spirits, strange demons, beasts, humans...

Even if we ourselves are killed (deleted files), it is also part of death.

Because there will always be a steady stream of descendants who will come to this town for their own desires.

But the power of this generation of heirs seems to have surpassed the imagination of the ancestors.

We have passed the most difficult trials, we have created the hardest armor and the sharpest weapons, and we have the most resolute heroes!
When the last of the Heart of Flesh was shattered by the courage of men, we became part of the Heart of Flesh in the place of our ancestors.

The sound of horseshoes signaled the arrival of a new generation of successors.

This time, the heart of flesh and blood is no longer the ancestors, but "I".

But what "I" knows is that there will definitely be a heir as powerful as the original "I" who will kill "I" and become a part of the heart of flesh and blood.

The god of flesh and blood will eventually be resurrected, all of this is just a reincarnation...

Players also had heated discussions on the background of the story of the Dark Dungeon.

"It's too scumbag! This ancestor, all the evils were done by this guy!"

"Excessive taxation and excessive extortion have created the tragedy of Hamlet for their own selfish desires!

This guy doesn't even have the spirit of a contract, cheating and cheating are commonplace, it's too scumbag! "

"In the end, the ending is too dark, everything is just a reincarnation, if we kill our ancestors, our successors will also kill us.

The destruction of the world cannot be stopped, because the god of flesh and blood will eventually be resurrected. "

While the players were discussing the plot of the Dark Dungeon intensely, many people were also discussing what the heroes in this game represent.

The main reason for this is that in the final boss battle of the game, when the blood volume of the boss's heart of darkness comes below a certain limit, it will cast a skill called "Come to my Creator".

Ignoring defense, blood volume, and dead door resistance, directly kill one of your heroes in seconds.

Players who can withstand countless hardships and beat the final boss have already cultivated a heart that is tough enough.

Naturally, he would not blink his eyes at such a death.

Interestingly, when you point the mouse and start choosing which hero to die, they all have their own unique responses.

Crossbowman: No, don't!I want to live!
Crusader: Unholy Evil!I want to die with you!

Leprosy Swordsman: Spare the others, I'm ready.

……

Some people die generously, some people sacrifice themselves for others, and some people are greedy for life and afraid of death.

In the face of indescribable things, facing the inevitable situation, when the courage of the heroes is shocking and inexplicable, the players are not thinking:
These heroes, what have they experienced?
Why did they come to the small town of Hamlet?

Chu Xin hid the past of these heroes in their lines with extremely fragmented words.

But heroes rarely speak, except for virtue and torture.

"Chuxin! What about the plot of my f*cking character? Did you eat it?"

"What happened to the Leprosy Swordsman in the past? Chu Xin you GKD!"

"Catch the big guy's appetite, right? There's your good juice to eat!"

With the eager anticipation of all the players, Chu Xin released the comics of all the heroes on the Dark Dungeon section of his official website, revealing the mystery for everyone.

crusader:
Leonard waved goodbye to his wife and children, and rode a tall horse with a long sword in his hand to participate in the conscription. In the war, he bravely killed the enemy and fought tenaciously. After his hands were stained with sins that could not be washed clean, it is ironic that, He already holds a high position in the army.

When he returned to his hometown with shiny shoulder armor on, he looked down on his wife and grown son on a high mountain. Leonard, who was full of sins, had already lost the qualification to recognize them.

robber:

Disma is a highwayman, but unlike ordinary highwaymen, this guy is a lone wolf.

Accurate marksmanship and strong skills, a proud highwayman like him naturally has his own principles - never hurt women or children.

One day, he was lying in ambush on the side of the road as usual, and after easily eliminating the driver and guards of the target carriage according to the commission, the slight movement from the carriage made him subconsciously draw out his gun and shoot.

But the broken window of the carriage exposed the woman holding the child in her arms.

Disma fell into endless regret.

Leprosy Swordsman:

Baldwin, a beloved king, when a terrible illness swept his kingdom, instead of staying in his palace to wait out the disease, he chose to embrace his subjects as a way of saying goodbye. Soothe their pain.

But in the process, he was unfortunately infected, suffered from leprosy, and died soon.

He put on a gold mask to cover up his injuries, lay on the sickbed and stopped visiting his own people. The public comments made Baldwin feel like a knife, but what made him even more uncomfortable was that his ministers were in the process. He wanted to seek to usurp the throne and set off a rebellion.

Baldwin ordered the blacksmith to be summoned, mustered up his courage, raised his blade, and stood up to face the ministers who were full of intrigues.

In the end, he emerged victorious, armed with the broken greatsword.

He intended to leave his kingdom, and the people paved his way with flowers and saw him off with tears.

When he came beyond the gates, he marveled at the beauty of the world and was grateful for his many blessings.

……

After reading the official comics released by Chuxin, the players realized that these heroes who accompanied you in the battle and finally helped you destroy the ancestors are not all heroes.

Some people choose to exile themselves with endless blood in their hands; some claim to be brave, but they are timid in the face of a real war, ruining their clansmen;

Most of the heroes are actually guys with sins in their hands and remorse in their hearts. They are not good people.

But on the contrary, it is this kind of sin, this kind of remorse, combined with the oppressive and hopeless world view of the entire Dark Dungeon, which makes these heroes full of their own unique charm.

They come here, either to atone for their crimes, or to escape, or even for revenge. These "imperfect" people bring you all kinds of troubles, make you distressed and angry, but just because "Not perfect", they have become flesh and blood, fresh people.

And when they leave, you will feel sorry for them and shed tears for them.

Discussions among the players are in full swing.

For this reason, Luo Bai also specially launched a "Vote for Your Favorite "Dark Dungeon" Character".

Not surprisingly, the leper swordsman topped the list.

And won the honorable title of the player: Your Majesty.

Your Majesty is a rare, perfect person in the worldview of the Dark Dungeon.

He works diligently for the people and loves the people like a son, but in his life, he suffers from illness and betrayal.

The world kissed bitterly, but he repaid it with a song, worked hard to cure the rebellion, and let the pain go away.

When he ended everything and came outside the city, the beautiful world he saw was the thriving kingdom in his hands.

But he does not hate these sufferings, but regards them as blessings to others.

He is a true saint.

However, such a voting result obviously cannot satisfy the strength party.

As the players gradually got used to the game mechanics, His Majesty's blindness and short legs obviously couldn't be hidden.

So what if you have more blood with one slash?Isn't it a fart to miss someone?

And the scene where His Majesty himself went to the fourth position out of order and started the Eastern Expedition, that feeling is enough to make the blood pressure of every player who has played this game skyrocket.

But still the same sentence, whether you are strong or not is a matter of one version, and whether you are handsome or not is a matter of a lifetime.

As far as His Majesty is concerned, the other heroes have no temper at all.

……

At that time, after experiencing the game completely, Tang Yunpeng happily tapped the keyboard again.

"Some friends have always wanted me to talk about the Dark Dungeon game, and asked me to analyze the game from the standpoint of a 'former' gold medal game producer.

Those ingenious designs, the author's ingenuity in game mechanics, the origin of the super immersive experience of playing...

Harm, it's not that I don't want to write, it's just that after thinking hard for several days and nights, I have to admit that Darkest Dungeon is actually a rather 'mediocre' game.

The overall framework of the Dark Dungeon game is actually quite simple. It is a very traditional turn-based RPG. Even if some designs such as meat pigeons are added, the proportion of meat pigeons in this game is quite small. On the contrary, it is necessary to develop elements. Much more.

As for the overly perverted randomness, it is not the first of the Dark Dungeon. In some board games that are very popular abroad, it is the mainstream to decide events by dice.

The huge death penalty, the Cthulhu mythology background... There are also precedents.

Even the original pressure, virtue, and torture systems are not enough to support this game to its current height.

But why, the dark dungeon is so fun, is it so high up?

Many times I have to admire, Mr. Luo is really an incredible guy, it seems that everything has the ability to turn decay into magic in his hands.

The reason is that the greatest fun of the Dark Dungeon is actually the word 'gambling'.

In the game of Dark Dungeon, Mr. Luo really played the 'probability' to the extreme.

Virtue is probability, torture is probability, death is probability, hit is probability...

Everything in this world of Dark Dungeon is made up of probabilities.

There is an 80.00% probability of winning, and a 20.00% probability of losing, but you lost and went from heaven to hell.

There is a 90.00% probability of losing and a [-]% probability of winning, but you won and came to heaven from hell.

This feeling of all-or-nothing, this feeling of a Jedi counterattack, this feeling of losing everything, makes people deeply addicted and fascinated.

Moreover, in order to restrict players from rationally using the game mechanism to create [-]% of such bugs, all the above-mentioned values ​​have upper limits.

The upper limit of the resistance of the dead door is 87%, which means that you will never be able to live forever, and the upper limit of the probability of hitting is 95%, which means that your attack will always have a 5% possibility of missing.

Seriously, if it wasn't just a game, what the player would lose in this game would be a hero who has been cultivated for a long time, an accessory that can be played repeatedly, and your entertainment time...

I believe that Mr. Luo himself might be arrested. (laugh)"

And the comment area under Tang Yunpeng's blog post is also quite interesting:
"Las Vegas: Sincerely hire Luo Bai to work here with high salary, the price is negotiable."

"Luo Bai, you little bastard is playing us players as a winner, right?"

"Damn it! The probability of avoiding the lottery of the mobile game but not the dungeon! Mr. Luo, you have no heart!"

Tang Yunpeng's blog post was like a dividing line, and the heat of the dungeon gradually eased.

New players will enter the pit, old players are sticking to it, and the long river of the times is rolling forward. These games will always become good memories in the players' minds.

Of course, the more important thing is that there will always be new games born!
