Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Players are discussing the performance in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" online, as well as content related to the plot.

The game industry has also been paying attention.

After all, this is the first game of VR in the new era, whether it is a designer and manufacturer who are qualified to make VR games in the new era, or a designer who is simply watching the excitement.

Everyone wants to know what the finished product of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" looks like.

About the promotional content of Nebula Games' original "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

Many designers think that Nebula Games should adopt a mode that concentrates VR game functions, performs on a certain level, and then allows players to read articles with redundant content.

Or finally made a compromise, made sacrifices on the screen, and cancelled the appearance of the LOADING bar.

After all, the functions of the new VR are placed here, although it is certain that "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" has not really completely squeezed the functions of Universal VR.

After all, this is the first game of VR in the new era, and it can maintain a screen performance during the promotion, so it is necessary to load and read the resources.

Before that, many game designers were discussing what trade-offs Chen Xu made.

In the end, a better picture brings better effects, or a more perfect experience.

Even these designers are divided into two groups.

But now it seems like a big mouth is pumping in their faces.

What do you think?

younger brother!

I want all the pictures and experience!

As for the solution?

Throw money!

It's not that there is no loading in the game, but it's just that Chen Xu is willing to throw money at it!

In "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", the map is not coherent, for example, after the level of the freighter is a black barrier.

Obviously not a seamless map.

The normal situation is in the middle, and players need to wait for a wave of readings.

But how did Nebula Games do it?

The answer is very simple, that is to put CG animation.

From the last player jumped into the helicopter, and then Price rescued the player, and at the same time introduced the world view of the game and some simple plot performances according to the background narration.

It directly allows players to seamlessly connect the plot to the game experience.

It even better strengthens the player's sense of identity and intimacy with the characters in the game.

Although players only need to think about it carefully, they can understand that when the CG is played, the loading reading is being performed.

But do players care?

Unless the player is doing two brushes, three brushes.

Otherwise, for players who are new to the game, they will not mind at all.

Because this is also related to the game rhythm of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

In the rhythm of the plot, each level of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is very intense, strictly following a setting of 30 seconds of passion.

And the so-called 30 seconds of passion, although it sounds very serious, but it is really serious stuff.

The first to really use it maturely is the Halo Flood trilogy developed by Bangji.

Intense battles, and then let players take a breath, and through this breath-taking point, introduce the game's plot worldview.

Divide a large game level into small levels.

The time for each small level is about 30 seconds to 120 seconds.

For example, in the freighter mission that just started in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

The player enters the cabin to clear the enemy in the cabin and the enemy in the dormitory, which is a fire point.

And when the back came to the deck to advance, there was no enemy in the middle.

This is the soothing zone in the middle, and then there is a fierce firefight again immediately until the helicopter clears the enemy on the second floor.

Then Price and Gates took the player into the interior of the cabin, which was another soothing zone where there was no engagement, until they encountered the enemy in the first passage and exchanged fire.

This kind of relaxed game rhythm makes players feel that they can't stop at all.

At the same time, the battle and the plot go hand in hand. Finally, when a big level is over, the player also needs a period of relief.

Just like the so-called cigarette after the event, after doing some things that make you feel tired, you need to choose a method to relax your mind and body.

At this time, the loading bar is turned into an introduction to the game plot, which can be said to maintain a very perfect rhythm for the game as a whole.

After research, many designers have to admit that this is a perfect solution.

It’s just that perfect is perfect, and many designers also know that this is only called “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” or this type of game.

Because first of all, this requires the game itself to have an excellent script and reasonable level planning, otherwise it will be a slap in the face.

Secondly, only threaded games can be used, because all the player needs is to go on a line.

Perfect rhythm control and narrative, as well as empathy between players and NPCs in the game, as well as smooth shooting experience and high-quality blessings.

Make Call of Duty: Modern Warfare the ultimate cinematic game.

………………

Inside the Nebula game, the follow-up content of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is still carried out here. To be precise, it should be multiplayer content for development.

"Mr. Chen, now even foreign players know the story of the warrior you love!" Inside the office, Ruan Ningxue smiled at some news reposted on the Internet.

"Haha, I read it too, and I read it too, and some foreign petition sites, there are already many players petitioning to hope that Price will not die, the total number has exceeded 150,000 players." Yang Xin thiefly smiled, Because she knew exactly what happened next.

"Wait until the second part is released, will this player not riot?" Qin Yi was a little worried.

Because compared to the second and third, the first is actually quite mild.

If the first one stabbed you with a knife.

Then this second part is the one that stabbed you and sprinkled some salt on the wound.

"You people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, players can discuss this way, doesn't this mean that our game plot is good, and the interpretation of the game makes players very immersive?" Chen Xu coughed twice.

"It's like an actor who plays a bad guy, who performed that kind of bad performance in a magical way, making the audience grit their teeth with hatred when they encounter it in reality, and now this shows that the players are also very immersed in the game."

"Don't look at the fierce scolding of the players, but in fact this is a kind of spur. This is a kind of love that players have for us, just like the kind of love we pour out on players in the game." Chen Xu looked at the crowd and said.

Immediately opened his official blog, and quickly found this related information.

Good guy, the number of petitions has now exceeded 300,000.

But looking at the posture, it seems that many domestic players also ran over to join in the fun.

"Mr. Chen, do you want to respond?" Ruan Ningxue also said with a smile.

"It's okay to respond." Chen Xu shook his head.

But Chen Xu didn't plan to respond to the petitions of the players.

If it is about when the game will be released, Chen Xu will respond.

But forget about the plot aspect, after all, the response will involve spoilers later.

As a conscientious game designer, Chen Xu hopes that players can feel the ending of each character in the 141 Special Forces.

Instead of being spoiled in advance, be prepared if players know Price won't die in the end.

Then when Xiaoqiang and Soap went to the Gulag concentration camp and found prisoner named No. 627, would there still be that kind of surprise?

This is him, the excellent quality of a designer who is always thinking of players for the sake of players.

While there may be some misunderstandings, what is this for the player?

At this moment, Chen Xu felt that his whole body seemed to be filled with light.

As for Ruan Ningxue and the others next to them, they pouted.

A few years ago, they believed Chen Xu's statement very much.

but now? Fudge, you go on flickering.

It's nice to be able to poke one's lips.

………………

For ten days, although the plot of the game makes many players feel uncomfortable and want to cry.

And more and more entries of 'kill Chen Xu', 'the warrior of love' and 'Chen Xu old thief' are becoming more and more popular.

But the enthusiasm of the players has not declined at all, but has grown even higher.

Even Yang Chen from the game department called Chen Xu to express his astonishment.

Because "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" has greatly driven the sales of the world, and even out of stock in some areas.

Mainly because the first one made countless players feel the awesomeness of this game.

In addition, as an FPS, whether overseas or domestic, it is the largest game category.

Although some later players know the ending of some characters is equivalent to being spoiled.

The refreshing design experience in the game, with excellent levels.

But it also makes players full of desire to play.

As for the players who have played it, let alone.

The fate of Captain Price hangs in their hearts all the time.

Under such circumstances, the time came to June 10, when the second part of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" was released.

Countless players have already pre-ordered and pre-loaded, and they all entered the game for the first time.
