Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Returning to Nebula Games from the game department, "Red Dead Redemption" successfully passed the trial, which made Chen Xu in a good mood.

Of course, Chen Xu also knew that the main reason for being able to pass the trial so quickly was because the competition between Huanyu and Zeus was intensifying.

Although "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" first went to a city, overseas has always been the home of zeus.

So now Universal VR really needs more masterpieces that can act as a facade.

As for why you chose "Red Dead Redemption" instead of "The Three Musketeers", the famous masterpiece of Mr. Dumas, on the one hand, it is considered from the content of the river crab. After all, compared with "Red Dead Redemption", the background theme of the latter is set. So slightly sensitive.

The second is the movement on the atrai side.

Not paying attention, but it doesn't mean that Chen Xu really doesn't know anything about it.

Chen Xuke has always asked his assistant Lin Rou to collect some news about the industry for him every day.

For most ordinary players, it is basically until the official announcement of atrai, or the third-party media begins to spread widely.

But Chen Xu had already gotten the news in advance.

Originally, Chen Xu hadn't figured out which game to present before. After all, except for some more special games, Nebula games almost have the capital to try.

But after knowing the news, Chen Xu didn't hesitate.

After all, the two sides are competitors of each other, so this must not be fought to the death?

"Mr. Chen, atrai has released news again. I feel that the western theme has suddenly been fired." In the office, Ruan Ningxue, who was showing some original design concepts to Chen Xu, sighed with emotion.

"It's normal. After all, Western movies are relatively small. Atrai will take it as the next 3A project, so it's natural to make this topic hot." Chen Xu smiled.

"So let's take advantage of the fisherman?" Ruan Ningxue pondered.

"That's right, so in terms of game progress, just like the previous "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", try to push Atrai as much as possible." Chen Xu nodded with a smile, with such a teachable expression on his face.

At this time, the knock on the door sounded, and Qin Yi and Yang Xin also walked in, reporting some preparatory work for "Red Dead Redemption" respectively.

"Okay, let's follow the current model, Yang Xin, you stay here and let me tell you about the plot of "Red Dead Redemption" and the setting of the background. Of course, your team on this project will definitely be too busy. At that time, I will specifically find some professors for your group who study the history of the West for consultation." Chen Xu looked at Yang Xin and said.

Yang Xin, who was sitting on the stool, nodded and listened carefully to Chen Xu's words.

"Compared to the western themes currently on the market, "Red Dead Redemption" will be more alternative."

"At present, the western films on the market are more about showing the so-called beauty of the west. After all, this is also normal. Just like the Water Margin, many people think it is chivalrous, but in fact, most of them are a group of bandits, especially Lu Junyi. damn."

"The westerns are the same. The real westerns are not that good. A lot of westerns have myths about cowboys. Kind-hearted white immigrants are threatened with violence. Heroic cowboys and law enforcement officers eliminate violence and peace?" As he said, Chen Xu shook it gently. Shaking his head.

"It is true that no matter what period of time there are good people and bad people, so-called cowboys are naturally good and bad. There are people who are like heroes in Western movies, but more are a group of bandits and criminals. In the so-called era of law and civilization The arrival of these people will also come to an end, of course, whether the so-called era of civilization is civilization or not, this will also be a key point." Chen Xu said with a smile.

The expansion of the west is not as romantic as imagined.

Instead, it's full of savage expansion.

The same is true for Westerns including previous lives, which directly convey the so-called cowboy culture and cowboy spirit to mythology.

On the contrary, it was the follow-up Italian Westerns that really showed what the Western period was like.

There are both good and evil cowboys, an era where barbarism and civilization coexist, but eventually with the advent of a new era, it gradually disappears.

The West is definitely not an aesthetic romantic label, but a label where savagery has been replaced by "civilization".

Listening to Chen Xu's words, Yang Xin, who was sitting there, also seemed a little excited.

After all, judging from Chen Xu's introduction, this so-called western story is completely different from what is currently on the market.

what are they?

pioneer!

Of course, the more important point is that the so-called western elements are being hyped up by the atrai side. When it comes out that they are also doing this part of the Nebula game, just thinking about the expression on the side of atrai, Yang Xin will Want to laugh out loud.

Especially recently, the designer named Antolini made Yang Xin very disgusted. He said, what are you doing with their "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare"?

"Look at the main content of the game, and I will add more details later. You have a general understanding first. If you have any ideas during this period, you can also write them out for reference." Chen Xu put a copy The printed document was handed to Yang Xin.

With excitement, Yang Xin opened the document in front of him.

There is not much content, after all, it is just an outline, about two A4 sheets of content.

But Yang Xin was stunned when he saw it at the end.

This ending...

"Mr. Chen, this!" Because it is the outline of the story, Yang Xin doesn't have much emotion at present.

But the key is that this is the protagonist named Arthur Morgan!

Why did someone die in the end and become this guy named John?

"Don't be so surprised, and if players understand the meaning of technology in the game, then Arthur's death is valuable and shocking." Chen Xu said with a smile.

Can the protagonist and important characters die?

Of course he can die, just like Xiaoqiang, Ghost and later Soap and Yuri sacrificed in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

But their deaths should be valuable, not to say that the inexplicable villain came to the door and directly broke their heads with one shot. That is not to use the death of the protagonist to make the player feel shocked and thoughtful, but to be angry.

"Mr. Chen, this is not the key at all, okay." Yang Xin couldn't help but be speechless.

This is not the crux of the problem at all, the real core problem is that the character that the player has poured into his emotions is dead!

And "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" has not been played for a long time here!

Is this because the player has a deep understanding of the "Warrior of Love" and completely released himself?

"It's okay, I believe players can understand. Besides, although Arthur Morgan sacrificed, he completed his redemption. Isn't John Marston alive and well? To a certain extent, John Marston is the last of Arthur. The redemption is also proof of his existence." Chen Xu said with a smile.

As for John Marston's follow-up in the sequel, that's also a matter of the sequel, and isn't there little Jack?

Listening to Chen Xu's words, Yang Xin said that the word after the word "no" can't be trusted.
