Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

As players dig, more and more information is revealed little by little.

At the same time, many players also found that the content of these easter eggs is really hidden in a variety of ways.

Some are easy to find, some are hidden deep.

Some are easy to find, such as the gate of the VR-themed camp of "Red Dead Redemption", you can see the newspaper, pick it up and read it, you can find the news of "Uncharted".

And some hidden deep, let countless players vomit blood, that is, there is a copy hidden in the corner of the basement of "Escape".

Although the awake mode has been updated on the VR platform, this does not mean that horror games are not scary at all.

To describe it in numbers, it is the same horror game. The PC version has a fear value of 5, and the VR version is 10. After turning on this awake mode, it becomes 7.

In the end, more and more information was collected by the players. Although some of them may have been missed, they can be roughly understood.

Many players on the Internet are chatting about their own information.

"I was fishing on the beach next to the ancient tree forest in "Monster Hunter: World", and I caught a diary, but I could only see two pages, which recorded some contents of Shangri-La."

"Fuck, I caught a diary, it's not scientific!"

"Don't talk about science and unscientificity! I also found a diary with table legs in the dwarven blacksmith shop in Stormwind City! It's similar to you, but my record is about the city of a thousand pillars."

Many players exchanged their content with each other, and the last rough image and template appeared.

The name of the game, unsurprisingly, is called "Uncharted Sea".

The protagonist of the game is a man named Nathan Drake.

From the collected diary fragments and the contents of some newspapers, the players finally made a summary.

Nathan Drake, a great explorer, went deep into the waters of Panama to find Francis Drake's coffin and discovered the lost golden country.

He also followed the footsteps of the dead celebrity Marco Polo and finally discovered the legendary paradise on earth: Shangri-La.

I also traveled to the Arabian Peninsula to go deep into the desert and found the lost ancient city: the City of a Thousand Pillars.

At the same time, the pirate paradise created by the great pirate Henry Avery, the legendary pirate utopia: Lebotalia, was also discovered.

A man who can be described as a legend.

Obviously, this is an action-adventure type game with a treasure hunt theme.

However, the places that make many players strange are the City of Thousand Pillars, the Golden Country, and the Island Paradise. These ruins have never been heard of.

The only one that is more familiar is Shangri-La.

But I haven't heard it before. In the age of online information, can't I search for things I don't know?

So players soon discovered that these relics really had many rumors in history, and some were true and some false.

For example, the City of Thousand Columns comes from the "Lawrence of Arabia", a British officer who contributed to Arab independence in the 20th century, and his archaeological experience in the Middle East when he was an archaeologist in his early years.

Shangri-La is also related to the treasures of Marco Polo and the city of relics with legends and allusions.

However, these relics are treasures that have left a few words in historical documents and have many folklore, but have never been really proven.

This kind of true and false treasures and stories can be said to have attracted the interest of many players.

After this information was collected, players swarmed to Chen Xu's official blog and bombarded them with questions.

But it didn't make them anxious for long, and soon Chen Xu sent an official blog.

One sentence and four pictures.

'You have already guessed it. ’

Then four original concept drawings were released.

The first is a sunset with Nathan Dret and Irina sitting on the bow of the boat.

The second picture is of Nathan Great and Elena in front of the wooden fence, looking at the magnificent snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Chapter 3 with the picture above the harbor Nathan Drake and Elena walk towards the harbor.

Chapter 4 shows Nathan Drake and Elena hugging in front of the beach.

Four accompanying pictures, corresponding to the four different stories of "Uncharted".

In addition, this is also a hint of Chen Xu.

As soon as this Weibo was posted, the players instantly exploded.

Although it is almost 99% certain, but there is no official confirmation, it can only be said to be speculation.

but now?

Hammer it!

This is the preview and content of the new game!

"Treasure hunt theme, action adventure! Chen Xu actually wants to do this type!?"

"It's awesome! There haven't been any particularly interesting treasure hunt games in recent years. You can look forward to Nebula Games!"

"I'll just say, why has Chen Xu been silent, the publicity has actually done this!"

"Speaking of which, the content of the easter eggs has been completely made. I don't know what the development of this game is like!"

"I will tell you three years ago that the game is almost ready; I will tell you two years ago that the game should be almost ready; I will tell you a year ago that the game is already being done; and now I will tell you Let me tell you, Mr. Chen guessed that he didn't even make the promotional video, and could only fool us by implanting Easter eggs and putting original concept drawings!"

"Fuck! It's the truth!"

………………

"The player is completely unaware of my good intentions."

In the rest area of ​​Nebula Games, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh while swiping his phone.

Why use the egg pattern?

Although it does have a little relationship with the current development content, this is not the most important thing!

What he wants is to give players a sense of surprise to participate in the discovery!

There is also a concept map of the original painting. Isn't this to imply that the player will have a relatively happy ending?

When will players realize that they have good intentions?

"In other words, if the players know what you think, President Chen, then they should be worried about Nathan Drake." Yang Xin, who was next to him, couldn't help but complain.

"Cough! After this game, players' impression of me will definitely change. Over time, the title of 'The Warrior of Love' will become worthy of its name!"

"Okay, the crew has already made arrangements. Next, let's play some big games." Chen Xu said with a slight cough.

………………

Online players are constantly discussing "Uncharted", and both NetDragon, Atari and other game makers are all stunned.

It doesn't make sense! ? Are you talking about martial arts?

Propaganda is propaganda, and everyone directly puts all kinds of materials on paper to spell it out.

Why are there so many sassy operations in your Nebula game! ?

It is also announced in the form of easter eggs! ?

It's really yours!

But it's a pain in the ass, but NetDragon and Atari understand something.

That's why Nebula Games is able to stir up the popularity of new games in this way.

It is also related to players' expectations, which is also due to the good reputation of Nebula Games.

Let players spontaneously participate in this easter egg event.

If they do it, there are only two cases.

The first one is unheard of.

The second is to spend money on your own to build momentum.

It can be said that it is a little too difficult to use the expectations of players to bring the popularity of the game like Nebula Games.
