Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

It wasn't just Song Ren who fell silent.

All players who saw the contents of the unlocked easter eggs fell into deep silence.

Including players who had previously said that the game would be launched on PC because Chen Xu said, this time there is no longer the feeling of ecstasy before.

They said why Chen Xu kindly told them that the new game will be released on both PC and VR platforms.

It turns out that they are waiting here!

This love is so strong!

Although Chen Xu didn't say it, not even the name of the game was revealed.

But from the style of the promotional video, many old Nebula game players feel that this is all too familiar at a glance!

Full of violent propaganda, blood plasma, monsters, and this dark style of deja vu, as well as the plot content full of suspense.

All of a sudden, these players thought of a well-known series of games that Nebula Games had developed - "Dark Soul"

Isn't the urine nature of the promotional content of this easter egg the same feeling as Black Soul.

Even more exaggerated.

Judging from the pictures and backgrounds in the game's promotional video, the story even feels darker and crazier.

The only constant, that is, some battle scenes in the game.

In the beginning of the battle, the hunters beat the monsters violently, but in the later battles, many hunters were killed by the monsters, until the last hunter named Geman remained.

Although it is not clear what the story is like, whether these pictures are intentional or the plot content of the game, it gives many players who have played Dark Souls a strong sense of sight.

It has actually been quite a few years since Dark Souls was launched.

During this period, Nebula Games has launched many masterpieces, and there are many masterpieces such as "Red Dead Redemption" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

But "Dark Souls" still has many loyal players who love it.

N weeks, constant challenges to see if you can pass faster, as well as various genres of PVP battles.

It can be said that soul-type players are almost wearing this game.

It's about the gameplay, but it's also about the plot.

A psychologist who specializes in the plot of Dark Souls.

More than ten hours or even dozens of hours of video, dedicated to explaining the content of the plot to players.

Even to this day, there are still players who are tearing up because of what the plot in Dark Souls is like.

And the current egg-style promotion of this new work has made countless players of the Soul series fans feel the familiar feeling again.

The dark art style, the unpredictable plot, and the appearance of the character constantly being hunted by monsters, countless players have found the shadow of the original Black Soul.

Although the story of spreading fire has come to an end, now it seems that the story of the hunt has appeared!

This made many M-attribute players excited all of a sudden.

After many years, Chen Xu is doing soul games again!

Although it's just an Easter egg-style promotion, even the game name is unknown.

But on various community forums, there are already topics about Chen Xu's new work.

"Come, come, finally come, Mr. Chen finally came with his Christmas or New Year gift!"

"Although it's a little scary, I have to say, it's amazing!"

"Have you noticed? The new work seems to be darker than the previous "Dark Souls"!"

"Looking at the architecture, it feels a bit like the Renaissance? Especially the bell tower church inside."

"Renaissance hammer, this is very obvious Victorian style. Look at the costumes in the promotional film. The ruffles, lace and silk ribbons are all in the style of that period."

"Yes, and the decoration of the hunter, which is also clearly British."

"Dark Soul's words have the feeling of a medieval European knight, and this new work is so handsome that it bursts. The musket, the axe, and the meat saw are so handsome!"

"Don't be handsome, have you forgotten what game this is? It's a soul game! It's handsome, but how many monsters can the hunter's costume resist?"

"Fuck, if you don't say it, I haven't thought of it yet!"

"And did you find out? None of the hunters in the promotional video have a shield!"

"Really, how can you play without a shield!"

"There's no shield in the new game, right?"

Like a cannonball thrown into the lake, it caused a wave of waves.

Players were very excited at first, and various discussions were made about the content in the promotional video.

After discussing and discussing, the players came back to their senses and took a closer look and immediately found something wrong.

The hunter is handsome, but the key is this is a soul game!

Wearing this hunter suit, can you feel safe in the Javier suit in Dark Souls?

And what about the shield in the Soul series?

How do you block without a shield?

You must know that many passers-by pass the customs, either relying on others, or relying on a big shield.

Carrying a large shield, he grinds the BOSS to death little by little.

The big shield can be said to be their lifeblood!

Why don't you see the shield in the promotional video now?

Wouldn't there be no shield in this new work?

………………

And when the players have heated discussions.

Chen Xu also led the team to develop "Blood Origin".

A lot of art has been done before, so here we just need to do the complete frame setup.

As for the content of the game itself, Chen Xu integrated the DLC of the old hunter with the main body. Of course, the content of the old hunter will have a built-in reminder to the player.

After all, if the player is completely unprepared to challenge the old hunter in the process, then Chen Xu is very worried that Ludwig and the Orphan Kos will break the player's mentality.

As for Ms. Maria of the Star Clock Tower, this Chen Xu is not worried, maybe the player wants to die in her hands a few more times.

The other is the content of the Holy Grail dungeon of "Curse of Blood". Although many players complained about the Holy Grail dungeon in the previous life.

But in fact, after getting started and playing, you can actually find that there is actually no problem with the design of the Holy Grail dungeon. That is to increase the stickiness of the game in the form of brushing. , basically have existed.

At the same time, the origin of the story of "Curse of Blood" is also hidden in the Holy Grail dungeon.

Of course, it has a more important point, which is to make players become gem hunters.

As for some players in the previous life, they said that the magical transformation of the labyrinth had destroyed the game experience.

Just like opening a modifier, the right to decide is actually in your own hands, and the magic-modified maze created by the player is more to make the trumpet take shape quickly, and it also adds more gameplay to the game. The combination of gems forms a routine to maximize damage.

The setting of the Holy Grail Labyrinth, to a certain extent, is also the mercy of the development team. As for why it is not the mercy of the old thief, because the dungeon is not made by the old thief.

It can be said that the blood source can be prosperous for a long time, and the setting of the Holy Grail dungeon must be a part of the credit.

If I have to say that there are any shortcomings, it is that after playing for a few hours, you will find that the seemingly random actual terrain is fixed and has a great sense of sight. Except for the lottery and gems, there is no random interest in map exploration. .
