Game Design: It is Very Simple For You To Fill In?

Chapter 626 There is a kind of hope called praising the sun

 Some players are trying to model and create the map of this generation of Dark Souls.

 After the game map was built and displayed by the players, people discovered that the winding and interconnected Black Soul world was actually on a tree.

 But when the players pondered the path they had taken in the game, they discovered that this was actually the case.

 In the Chuanhuo Sacrificial Site, going up is the Immortal Town, and going down is Xiaolongde.

 According to the normal process, the player walks up from the Fire Sacrifice, pushes through the Undead Town area, then reaches the Flying Dragon Bridge, and then reaches the Undead Parish, rings the first bell, explores the Black Forest, and is stuck by the Hydra.

At this time, go to the bottom floor from Feilong Bridge, explore all the way to the main entrance of the Disease Village, enter the Disease Village, ring the second bell, and then continue to explore the Demonic Ruins and the Wasted City of Chaos.

But there are also people who start the game with a master key, go down from the Fire Sacrifice, pass through Xiaolongde, run to Feilong Valley, and directly enter the back door of the Disease Village and go to the Disease Village.

There are also people who go directly to Feilong Valley at the beginning, then go to the valley to take the machine to Jiafeng Forest, then walk back to the Undead Parish, and push all the way back to the Undead Town.

 The map of the entire game extends in all directions, and players have various ways of doing it. Although players need to repeatedly run the map due to the need to unlock the main line and side plots of the game, this process will continue to experience the fun of "walking the previous path".

Or you could avoid the instant death curse of the cursed frog and run down the winding dead branches. After countless attempts, you finally reach the bottom of the tree root. Walk forward through the broken gap in the trunk and discover a lake called Ash Lake. place,

Here, looking at the towering tree reaching into the sky, the milky-white cold beach and the bottomless black lake,

Seeing the vicious Hydra in the lake, the player quickly ran along the beach to avoid the monster's breath, and found an ancient fossilized dragon deep in the roots of a giant tree. There was a dead end in front of the ancient dragon.

So he stopped for a while and turned back. When he got out of the root of the tree, he looked up.

It turns out that all the areas that pass from the Fire Sacrifice to the bottom of the lake are due to the thousands of years of misplaced time and space and distorted space of several ancient kingdoms intertwined and gathered at the top of this tree above the clouds.

However, at the top of this tree are the ancient city of Thane, the royal capital Anor Londe, the ruined capital, the black forest, the giant cemetery, the demon ruins, the initial furnace of the hotbed of chaos, and other places that I have never been to.

The coolest thing is that these maps are intricately intertwined with each other and cleverly connected together, without any need for transmission or loading.

All places in this world are connected together, and they all stand tall on this tree.

"Which **** drew this map!" Yinzi looked at the map. Although it did not show the ingenious shortcut mechanisms in the game in detail, it was just a general composition, which already made his nerves tremble.

 Compared to this, I feel that the already amazing game maps in the Ash Era are not as good as they are now.

 The fans were no less shocked than Yinzi.

“When I saw the map, Dark Souls had successfully surpassed other games and became the number one game in my mind. ’

　　‘My level of three-dimensional fantasy is really limited. I have imagined this scene in my mind, but I can’t construct it. Now that I see this map, I want to say, man, it’s awesome! ’

 ‘Isn’t the sprout even more awesome? ’

“But the game is really difficult. Many times I really want to give up, but I really can’t. ’

“I finally understand why the old thief is only now making The Beginning of Fire. This is really a god-level work. ’

　　‘This is three hundred and sixty-five miles! ’

 …

 If the players are not stingy with their praise at all, there really is nothing wrong with the game except that it is difficult.

 “This is the Black Star!” Yinzi opened his hands and made a gesture of praising the sun.

One of the charms of Dark Souls is that the obscure plot triggers people's endless speculations. It is also one of the fun of the game to think about the fate of NPCs through the few words obtained in the game.

In the game, not only people who lose their faith will turn into living corpses, the more persistent people are, the more likely they are to go crazy, such as a spellcaster who wants to learn new spells, a mage who just wants to follow his master, and someone who is obsessed with Bai Bai. Logan of Dragonhiss.

Also, Solal, the Sun Warrior.

Solar yearns for the sun and pursues everything that brings light.

Yinzi walked through the Immortal Town and saw this sun warrior for the first time after killing the bull-headed demon.

He stood on the observation deck in front of Feilong Bridge, wearing a silver armor with a somewhat funny appearance. There was a conspicuous red chicken feather stuck on the bucket-like iron helmet.

The grass-green fur shawl cannot take away the eye-catching sun pattern on his chest and his slightly bulging beer belly.

On the already somewhat yellowed clothes on his chest, there is a huge sun icon covering the entire chest.

 The fiery red sunlight blooms, and the golden light in the center is extremely bright.

 He stood on the platform at the top of the Undead Town, facing the sun,

Yinzi looked in the direction he was facing. The huge sun was very dazzling.

Seeing Yinzi coming, he greeted him warmly.

“Ah, hello, you don’t look like a living corpse.”

“I am Thoral of Astra, a follower of the Sun King.”

“Now that I am an immortal, I have come to this great land, where King Gwen was born, to find my own sun.”

“Do you think I’m a weirdo? In fact, I am, but don’t take it to heart, everyone has the same expression after hearing this.”

Yinzi, who heard his words for the first time, also thought this man was a bit silly. Looking for his own sun after becoming an immortal?

 Aren’t you going to spread the fire? The sun that does not spread its fire will be extinguished, you know?

 But to the player, as long as the NPC doesn't do anything to him, it doesn't matter what he does.

Solar told the players some simple settings of this world. The flow of time in this world itself is chaotic, and he is not in the same world as the players.

 But he gave the player a ash stone, which can summon others as a spirit, and told the player that as long as they find the summoning talisman, they can summon him to fight together.

“I will stay here and look at the sun.”

“The sun is a wonderful thing, like a great father!”

“It would be great if I could become as radiant as him!”

 He turned his head and continued to look directly at the sun.

At the fog door of the gargoyle, players saw the first golden summoning talisman. Just touch it to summon Solar to fight with them.

  At the beginning, players choose to fight by themselves after entering the boss battle. After all, is there any boss that they cannot defeat by themselves?

But after being used as fly swatters by gargoyles dozens of times, and being sprayed to death by fire-breathing skewers, the players finally accepted their fate and touched the golden mark at the door.

The moment Solar appeared, he stretched his hands upward at a 45-degree angle, as if stretching his body, praising the sun.

 The glittering figure follows the player.

  Players have died countless times in previous battles and have been unable to defeat these two gargoyles.

  Gargoyle's attack pattern is actually very easy to understand.

The fire should be rolled behind its butt, the cleave should be rolled to the side, and the two horizontal attacks should be blocked with a shield. But the problem is that the attack rhythm of two gargoyles becomes completely unpredictable.

 When the player dodges one's fire breath, the other one perfectly predicts the landing point of the player's roll with a cleave.

 When trying to use the shield to perform a horizontal slash, the other one will use fire breathing to break the player's defense.

Follow Solal through the fog gate. Although he looks like a fool, a fool who likes to look directly at the sun, his fighting skills are definitely not it.

 He can easily dodge the enemy's attacks, and the flames sprayed on his shield cannot hurt him at all.

　　Every blow he struck hit the target directly, and the two gargoyles were no match for Solar.

 After defeating the boss in front of him, Solar also disappeared.

He is different from those hypocritical, cunning, white believers who only talk empty words but do nothing.

 He used his actions to prove his faith, fulfilled the responsibilities that his faith brought to him, and his loyalty to his faith.

From him, players can feel what it feels like to be cared for like the sun.

 At the boss, the Gluttonous Dragon, in the bottom sewer of Undead Town, players can summon Solar for the second time to fight.

 After going to the Demonic Ruins later, you can also summon Solar here to fight against the boss Centipede Demon.

 In this soul world full of black undertones, Solar said,

“Oh, it’s you. The sun is amazing, isn’t it? I’m so proud to have you as a companion I can rely on, hahahahaha!”

“As long as you see my summoning talisman, don’t hesitate to summon me. I’m always keeping an eye on you, and I won’t refuse the opportunity to help you.”

 As long as the player calls him, no matter how powerful the monster is, he will be the first to rush forward.

 In Anor Londo, you can talk to Thoral who is sitting by the campfire. He mentions that he came here to look for the sun.

 Returning to the Sun Altar again, Thoral mentioned that he had not found his sun in Anor Londe and the sick village, and he was going to the underground cemetery and Izaris to have a look.

Perhaps he also saw through the illusion of Anor Londo's light in his own world. Disappointed, he placed his last hope in the waste abyss filled with chaotic flames.

After players follow here, they can meet Solar in the shortcut between Izaris and the Demonic Ruins.

At this time, he had been parasitized by sunworms and had completely lost his faith. He shouted that he had found the sun by himself.

 “My…my sun, I am the sun!”

Solar is attacking the player like crazy, and this battle is inevitable.

 After defeating him, players can get his equipment.

 But when he finally looked at the information on the equipment, the player's eyes were full of confusion.

 Where are there any sun warriors with divine power and sun equipment?

【Solar Buckler: The buckler of Solar of Astra, the "Sun Warrior", is painted with a large sacred sun, but because it was painted by himself, it does not have sacred power.

 Solar's ability to become an excellent warrior relies on his rigorous training. 】

This dazzling sun warrior has come here with his devout faith,

 But in the process of chasing the sun,

Confused, he inquired about a kind of creature called a sunworm, and discovered that he had been searching for it as the sun. After finally discovering a special sunworm that could emit light, Solar, who was already obsessed to the point of being a little delirious, thought he had finally found the sun. Leji went crazy, lost his last sanity and turned into a living corpse.

This game constantly brought light of hope to players on the path of suffering, but in the end their faith collapsed because of a sunworm.

Some people have been chasing the sun all their lives, but they don’t know that they are the sun in their hearts.

kill! Kill that sunworm!

  Players who reload the file sign a contract with the White Spider and offer enough "humanity" to open the shortcut to Izalis.

 Before Solar comes to Izaris, clean up the sunworms here.

This time, Solar, who came to Izalis, would collapse on the ground, his eyes full of confusion, because he searched all over Lordran just to pursue this dream.

 The legendary sun is just a hoax.

  【Ah, my sun, what should I do...】

　　　【It's all over, my sun has set. 】

 …

Seeing the frustrated and confused Sun Knight sitting there, the players burst into tears on the spot.

But even so, if the players are given the chance to make a choice, everyone will choose to kill the sunworm!

 Being parasitized by sunworms should not happen to sun warriors.

"I heard from those who are quick to play that they also saw Suo Ge's golden talisman in front of Gwen's fog gate." Yinzi paused for a second.

He really didn't know how this group of people could fight so fast. He had to run through a map dozens of times before someone had already beaten Gwen.

 But for some reason, when he saw someone saying that he saw Solar's golden talisman in front of Gwen's foggy door, the choked breath in his heart relaxed slightly.

 ‘Perhaps this is evidence that Suo Ge overcame his confusion and completed the fire transmission in his own world. ’

　　　'Suge was just too focused on chasing the sun, but he didn't realize that his every move was radiating light from the moment he handed me the ash stone. ’

 ‘Suo Ge is the sun in my heart. ’

'My happiest thing is that after killing the sunworm, I saw Brother Suo's golden talisman in front of Gwen's door. I'm very happy that Brother Suo defeated the inner demon. He is already the one who accompanies us to kill the gargoyles and challenge the two kings of the city. The sun warrior, he will always be the immortal sun. ’

“After getting Solar’s ​​equipment, I discovered that he was all wearing the most ordinary iron armor. Even the sun on his chest was painted by himself. It was just graffiti and did not have any excessive sacred power. Sun Knight Solar's strong strength depends on his consistent hard training and lofty beliefs. ’

 ‘Don’t accept the bewitchment of sunworms, Brother Suo! ’

　　‘Praise the sun! ’

 …

Legendary heroes fell on the road to spread the fire one after another. Only he accompanied the undead to the final outcome and became a salary king in his own world.

“Oh, it’s you. The sun is amazing, isn’t it? Having you as a reliable companion makes me proud, hahahahaha!”

Two-in-one
