Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Regarding random items following the enemy, in fact, Soul 1 and Soul 3 in the previous life have similar MODs.

It's just that there are quite a few bugs.

Such as terrain constraints, and specific terrain-restricted bosses such as Overlord Warnier, it is difficult to appear in other places.

In comparison, the random setting of items is much easier.

Except for some specific quest items, no changes will be made, as long as the player's quest process and the main line process can be carried out smoothly.

As for the others?

Random is fine.

It can be said that this kind of randomness has no specific balance at all, it is purely based on the face.

With any luck, you might start with a variety of artifacts.

If you are unlucky, you may not be able to get out of the Chuanhuo Sacrificial Ground.

However, for this unique mode, Chen Xu is not prepared to use it as the core gameplay of "Dark Souls".

More is a small gift for players, small fun.

Let players have some new entertainment space.

Of course, it will definitely not be officially launched at the moment, at least we have to wait for a group of players to successfully clear the story of "Dark Soul".

Although he had an idea in his heart, Chen Xu did not immediately mention it to Qin Yi and the others.

The main reason is that it will not take much effort to develop this new mode in the future.

After all, everything is based on the content of the "Dark Souls" game itself.

Moreover, during this period of research and development of "Dark Soul", the workload of various tasks is also relatively large, and I work overtime all day to catch up with the progress.

Therefore, Chen Xu also arranged their own time off for the employees of the development team.

………………

In the office of Nebula Games, Chen Xu once again received the person in charge of the previous target software.

The two sides are sitting here discussing matters concerning agency.

An hour later, Chen Xu shook hands with the person in charge with a smile on his face: "Happy cooperation."

"Pleasant cooperation, Mr. Chen."

In response to several requests made by Chen Xu two days ago, the internal discussions on the target software were completely unified after returning.

The dominance of the game is still in charge of Chen Xu, and they are only responsible for publishing.

Including the finished product of an overseas game, you also need to refer to an opinion from Chen Xu.

The commission issued by the agency has not changed.

However, the target software has also put forward a new requirement, that is, under the condition that the subsequent agency conditions are equal, the target software has the priority to sign the next three large-scale games of Nebula Games.

In addition, the target software has also proposed to release some independent games previously launched by Nebula Games to overseas.

As for the terms, it still refers to the agency distribution contract of "Dark Souls".

Chen Xu also agreed.

After all, if it was all done by Nebula Games, there would still be a lot of trouble.

………………

For a few days, Chen Xu was quite busy here.

It is mainly to sign relevant agency contracts with the target software. Of course, the main work is still on "Dark Soul".

Including overseas channel promotion and game content translation, Chen Xu also set up a team to hand over work with the target software side.

In the past few days on the Internet, the first batch of players who started "Dark Soul", except for the handicapped party, have basically advanced to the later stage of the plot.

Zhang Yi, who was sitting in front of the computer, has come to the final scene, the initial stove in the game.

Next to her girlfriend Wang Han sat there watching.

This save became his exclusive after the first day of the game.

Mainly because the previous rule of one person dying once was a little too troublesome.

The chair under the **** is not warm yet, so it's time to change the person.

Recalling the experience of the Black Soul all the way, Zhang Yi also has some emotions.

It's really not easy.

From the beginning, facing Ashes, Guda died into a dog, and now he is finally about to complete the great cause of spreading fire.

Step onto the scene map called the Initial Stove.

And here he will also face the last enemy.

At the end of the empty rift in the distance, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a blood-colored setting sun that seemed to be about to fall dyed everything blood-red.

But that sun, most of the area has been shrouded in darkness, and only the last bit of the setting sun is still blooming with afterglow.

Looking up, you can see the ruined royal city, twisted trees, and countless different buildings that seem to have traveled through time and space, and there are all kinds of weapons left on the ground.

Of course, there are also blood stains all over the floor.

Zhang Yi is used to this.

After all, in the game "Dark Souls", if there is a map without the blood and tears left by players, it is a very strange thing.

Even inside the seemingly safe fire-proof sacrificial ground, there are countless blood and tears left by players after provoking the disheartened brother.

Moving forward slowly, Zhang Yi finally saw the last boss.

The armor that was almost burnt to charcoal, and the flaming spiral sword in his hand was the epitome of every fire-bearer.

There is nothing to say, just go to war.

The skills of the incarnation of the king of salary are very cool, and he is the fire passer himself, but he has the skills of various occupations.

And the weapon in hand will also change into various weapons such as big sword, straight sword and so on according to the situation.

Although in the game up to now, Zhang Yi has not carried out the so-called leveling down throughout the whole process, but has been promoted when he has a soul.

But in the face of King Xin's incarnation, the last boss, he still died quite a few times.

But after nearly a hundred hours of "Dark Souls", he was completely used to it.

Even now he feels that he doesn't die twice a day playing "Dark Souls", and he always feels that something is wrong.

"NICE! Finally cleared!"

Clear the health bar of the final BOSS, although there are already many big bosses on the Internet who have cleared the level with the Liver Emperor players.

But at this time, Zhang Yi was still a little excited.

In the game, Zhang Yi's character stood beside the initial fire, ignited the flames to spread to the whole body, and then slowly sat down beside the initial fire. The camera also slowly approached the distant sun that seemed to be completely swallowed by darkness.

The next moment the screen fell into darkness, and the title of the game "Dark Souls" appeared in the center of the screen.

The week of the game is over.

"Don't talk about this game, the scalp was numb from the abuse at the beginning, but the more you play, the more fun it is!" Looking at the UI returning to the main interface of the game, Zhang Yi, who was sitting in front of the computer, followed Wang Wang next to him. Han said.

This is not his pretense, but his own heart.

When he first started playing "Dark Souls", he really did not expect such a perverted game.

But while he was dying, he suddenly realized that this game seemed to be really interesting.

And the further back he played, the more he could feel that the game made him a little addicted.

It seems that there is no difference between various occupations, and the early stage is mainly to kill people.

But different weapons still have points, and the style of play brought by them, he feels that there is a lot of room for digging.

Especially the excitement and achievement after defeating the BOSS, which he had only experienced in the game "Dark Souls".

"The only thing I regret is that I didn't understand the plot of this game a little bit, so I knew it was going viral." Zhang Yi said, scratching his head.

The biggest feature of Dark Souls is the fragmented plot narrative.

At the same time, Chen Xu himself was launched with the stories of the three generations as the priority, although Chen Xu also dug a lot of holes in the game, leaving a lot of stories about the first generation on the side.

Allow players to understand the past glory of the world of Dark Souls.

But for most players who don't get into the details, they just cut and cut and then spread fire, and they don't even know what the trigger conditions for the rest of the ending are. Obviously, there are still a lot of questions about the plot.

For example, where did the initial fire come from? Who was the original salary king Gwen? Who is the nameless king on top of the ancient dragon? What is the origin of Pope Sullivan? What was the peak of the Age of Fire like?

After a week of not getting through, the player's focus is on the chop, but after the game is cleared, the player has some interest in the plot, but most of them are confused and only understand the surface.

For example, why spread the fire, and why King Xin didn't want to spread the fire.

But the story of the huge dark soul world is completely unknown.

Wang Han, who was beside Zhang Yi who was puzzled, said, "Whoever told you to know how to beat the boss, he didn't pay attention to the plot at all."

"Then tell me the plot." Zhang Yidao.

"I haven't cleared the level yet? But according to the current rumors on the Internet, it seems that in addition to the fire ending, there is also a fire ending, and it is very likely that the game "Dark Souls" will have a sequel." Wang Han coughed lightly. one time.

What is the plot of Dark Souls, most players are still a little confused.

Whether it is the difficulty or the gameplay settings, including the plot, Dark Souls is not a game that can be judged by past ARPG experience.

The only thing that players can be sure of is that through various items and props as well as legacy legends, they can know that this is the end of an era.

And what was the world like at the beginning of the age?

Obviously, Chen Xu estimates that even the folder has not been created yet!

"You don't know if it's been a long time, so you still talk about me!" Zhang Yi pouted after listening to Wang Han's words.

After all, he has passed the customs here!

"That's because the story and world view of "Dark Soul" is too huge!" Wang Han defended: "And you know how to hack and then clear the level, do you know the ending of Brother Thief, and the plot of Brother Onion's branch? There are also side quests such as Brother Disheartened and the Holy Maiden, I guess you haven't done any of them!"

Listening to Wang Han's words, Zhang Yi scratched his head: "What! Does this game have a branch?"

Of course, this is just a joke. As the first batch of players to experience Dark Souls, it's not that Zhang Yi really didn't know about the branch.

However, if you know it, you know it, but Zhang Yi really didn't do any sidelines during the game.

And this is the experience of most players.

Because in "Dark Soul", unlike other ARPG games, you can't wait to make the main line without finishing the side line.

In "Dark Souls", all tasks, including the main line, are not clearly indicated.

It's all up to the player to figure it out by himself.

If you don't understand the main line, the game will not be able to continue.

But the branch line is really missed.

So many players have cleared the game for a week, and they have no idea what branches the game has.

But when players understand the stories behind these side missions, they will have a new understanding of the game "Dark Souls".
