Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Looking at the building in front of them, Song Ren and Zhang Yi were both amazed.

The two of them are also old players of "Warcraft", and they have invested at least a thousand hours in the game since its release.

Of course, the main thing is to play various interesting RPG maps in the game, as for the rank.

Now the player with the highest ladder score in "Warcraft" has exceeded 4500 points.

For the two of them, one has 430 points and the other has 410 points.

It is also worth mentioning that the initial score is 500.

As a player who has played "Warcraft" for thousands of hours, the two of them are naturally no strangers to the story of Warcraft.

Standing in the Valley of Heroes and looking at this majestic human city-state in front of me, there is only one feeling that is shocking.

Using a sightseeing mode that comes with the game, Zhang Yi and Song Ren flew in the sky, overlooking from top to bottom.

Of course, Zhang Yi uses a third-person perspective, not because it seems that he can feel the insignificance of his character and the grandeur of the city-state in front of him.

Simply because he is afraid of heights, and the third-person mode allows him to alleviate some of the symptoms of fear.

In fact, in "Minecraft", Stormwind City has already been made.

And it's not just Stormwind City, many buildings in "Warcraft" have been made by various big touches.

But after all, "Minecraft" is built based on various blocks. Compared with the directly shaped art, the latter is obviously more spectacular.

Dense buildings, but distinct layers.

The mage area with purple roofs, the trading area with blue roofs, the old town with red roofs, the dwarf area with brown roofs, and the church square with yellow roofs.

This really shocked Song Ren and Zhang Yi too much.

After all, "Warcraft" is just an RTS game on the PC platform.

For places like Lordaeron and Stormwind City, players can only make a brain supplement through their own fantasy and CG.

Now seeing such a picture in VR, there is only one feeling: it's awesome!

And in this city, Zhang Yi and Song Ren also saw a lot of NPCs. For example, there are many tailor shops in the mage area, warehouses for storing magic tools, and coffee shops and bars full of mages and warlocks.

The streets of the dwarven district are lined with weapons and armor shops, and the blacksmiths sweat in the open squares, creating stunning masterpieces.

In addition, on the streets of Stormwind City, there are also patrolling soldiers, wearing uniform blue and white armor and a shirt with the mark of the Alliance on the chest.

However, what makes many players feel a pity is that although the entire 'Stormwind City' is very large, it can only be used for sightseeing at present.

There's no real gameplay.

But even so, in the process of visiting Stormwind City, many players also found some special easter eggs.

For example, in the weapon store, they can actually see that those weapons and armors have attributes.

This made them very excited.

There are attributes!

This shows what?

If it's just a simple sightseeing VR theme, will Nebula Games do this?

Obviously it's a hint!

Referring to the farm life theme of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", maybe the current Stormwind City will update more gameplay in the future!

And this is not all, that is, many players also found some special egg NPCs in Stormwind City.

For example, in the garden area of ​​Stormwind City, um... that is, where King Wa later died in the battle at the Broken Beach, where the lion rests in the robe and crown, you can see an NPC called 'Solar of Andorhal'.

In addition, players in the dwarf area can also see a little green hat NPC named Link, a flower girl named Alice on the street in the mage area, and a brother guard with a red hat and a green hat on the watchtower.

Many of them are Easter eggs from previous WOWs, but they are distributed in different areas.

For example, Alice was originally in Dalaran, but now Chen Xu directly transferred it to Stormwind City. Of course, most of the NPCs cannot be called Easter eggs, because players still don't know what they represent.

It can only be said that it is a pit, and when it is filled in later, it will become an easter egg.

But when the players look back again in the future, there will definitely be different surprises and emotions.

As for now?

That is, the pit is dug for the players first, and if the player steps in, they will stay in it for a while.

As for when to fill it, there is no rush.

……………………

In the New Year's special activities, many players are immersed in the excitement of buying, buying and buying.

The sales of the Nebula game platform also hit a new high. Of course, to understand it from another way of thinking, it is also an unprecedented loss!

Players are also enthusiastically discussing related VR topics on the Internet.

"The VR theme this time is really cool enough, and it's all very delicate!"

"Yeah, especially Stormwind City, it's amazing! And the key is to see that the weapons inside have attribute entries. Can you expect a wave of "Warcraft" ARPGs in the future?"

"It feels very possible!"

"By the way, don't talk about Stormwind City. Who knows how to delete the VR theme of "Escape"?"

"Why do you want to delete it? The VR theme of "Escape" is fun, and it's a fun family."

"Hehe, it's a happy family now, but haven't you read the introduction, the New Year's special edition! This is a limited time, and it will be changed back after the New Year."

"Fuck, it means that the doctor who cuts my nails is cutting my nails now, and I will cut my fingers when I go back?"

"Do you think?"

"Damn it, this is too impersonal! The PC has scared me enough, and the VR can't scare me to death. Chen Xu not only wants my money, but also my life!"

Many players are having various discussions, especially many players expressed their desire to delete the VR theme of "Escape".

Although it's just a theme, if you accidentally open it, how much psychological pressure will it bring!

Of course, it is impossible to delete it. This is all bought by the players with real money. How can you delete it for you?

What if you regret it later?

In addition to the topic of VR, in addition to buying, buying and playing games, many players have also begun to pay attention to the selection of their annual games.

After all, this year can be described as a very historically representative year.

Huanyu and zeus are launched one after another, and masterpieces are emerging one after another.

At the same time, it is not only domestic annual game activities, but also awards activities jointly organized by some foreign authoritative media.

This also attracted a lot of players' attention, but players paid attention to them, but in fact Chen Xu didn't care much.

Because of these foreign awards, the commercialization is still relatively heavy, and the timing of the event is not coincidental.

Although it is not during the New Year, it is also near the New Year.

It is impossible for Chen Xu to run over to participate in this award during the Chinese New Year, because now to be honest, Nebula Games does not need these awards to build momentum.

In the minds of players, the reputation of Nebula Games has been completely established.

Of course, it’s impossible not to go, so Nebula Games directly communicated with the organizers of the relevant awards.

Then some foreign employees of Nebula Games overseas will go to receive the award. Although it is an award, in fact, this thing is also a paid public travel tour. Of course, there must be a quota, otherwise it will be a little disrespectful.

The general manager of the Nebula Games branch, the chief producer of the Nebula Games overseas studio, those who want to travel to Eastern Europe, Western Europe, or Southeast Asia and North America, let’s divide it up among themselves.

However, for these various awards overseas, Chen Xu let the people in the company go out.

However, in the annual game held by the domestic game department, Chen Xu still has to personally go out.
