Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

After watching the trailer for "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", many players feel a little strange.

Although it is only a promotional trailer, from the plot introduction, it has almost revealed some players.

Previously, the game "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" continued to build momentum through various classic games during this vacuum period.

It can be said that it is like a spring, and the expectations of players have been compressed to the extreme.

Now, as soon as the "Witcher: Wild Hunt" promotional video is released, it's like releasing the hand pressing the spring. The passion of the players is like a volcanic eruption, and it erupts directly.

Countless players instantly turned into famous detectives such as Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Polo.

Began to conduct research on the content of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", plus the linkage content added by Chen Xu in various games before, and even many fans and players have set up a witcher information station to collect information to conduct research. Organize and collect information about this game.

Before this, many players felt that this was a very grand and epic work, but after this promotional video came out, many players who summed up the content in it were also slightly wrong.

In terms of gameplay, it doesn't seem to show much content from the promotional video.

Judging from the narration, this seems to be an RPG game with multiple branching options.

combat system? How to play? There seems to be nothing special about it.

So the only bright spot may be in the plot, but through the promotional film, does the plot reveal anything?

The only conclusion that can be drawn is that it seems that this is the news of a father looking for his daughter.

This also caused many players to complain.

Because this Nebula Game's games in recent years have always been this way!

In "Resident Evil", the husband is looking for his wife, in "Hades", the son is looking for his mother, and now in "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", it has become a father looking for a daughter.

It can be said that parents, husbands and wives, sons and daughters are all extremely good!

Of course, some players expressed a little gratification. After all, Arthas and Jaina in "Warcraft" showed their children's filial piety.

And by now, it has evolved into a family harmony atmosphere.

This is a small step for President Chen, but a giant leap for the warrior of love!

………………

On the other side of the FOW, after seeing the promotional video for "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", Alex couldn't help but smile with a sigh of relief.

Although in the previous interview, he was very crazy.

Mainly because the results of "Wasteland 1978" are really good.

But it's impossible to say that he completely despises Nebula Games.

And now he felt he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the current "Witcher: Wild Hunt" at least from the perspective of the promotional video, the gameplay is not very distinctive, otherwise it will definitely become the main direction of publicity.

But when it comes to "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", it doesn't involve much of this content, which obviously shows that "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" does not have too much breakthrough in gameplay.

As for the plot, from what has been shown so far, it is clear that Geralt in the game will be the main character manipulated by the player.

Combined with the content of linked easter eggs released by Nebula Games during this period.

Finding Ciri and repelling the so-called Wild Hunt is obviously the main storyline.

And such a plot, to be honest, Alex feels that it is not enough for "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" to get a high rating.

Because this kind of plot belongs to the family line, no matter how good it is, it is much smaller in weight.

Unless you really depict a complete and huge worldview, and show it vividly.

But can this "Witcher: Wild Hunt" do it?

Alex is a little unconvinced. After all, the main line of the game seems to be the father looking for his daughter. How can such a simple main line show the player a huge world view?

For these reasons, after seeing the promotion of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", Alex is also relieved.

………………

And in various discussions among players, as well as when industry designers wait and see.

In the Nebula game, Chen Xu and the team are perfecting the content of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" little by little.

During the same period, some game makers, along with the Nebula Game’s promotional video, either announced the early launch or suspended the originally planned promotion.

Basically, I don't want to go with Nebula games.

After all, Nebula Games has been promoting "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" through simple data and linkage.

Now, a promotional video has been released directly. Many people think that this time "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" is not far from the finished product.

And in fact it is.

A story of the "Witcher: Wild Hunt" itself has basically entered the final stage.

Aside from some minor tweaks, the overall main story is already being tested internally.

Make sure there are basically no problems.

Of course, although the story of the main body is over, it does not mean that the follow-up is over.

Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine, a large-scale DLC content hailed as "The Witcher 4" by players and media in previous lives, these two expansions are also in the follow-up development plan.

Especially "Blood and Wine", the content is almost no less than the content of the game itself, and how exaggerated is this DLC?

The DLC beat Dark Souls 3 in the RPG Game of the Year award.

Of course, the content of this DLC is not in a hurry at the moment.

Now it's mainly the content of the game itself.

It didn't make players wait too long. In late May, Chen Xu finally released an official blog message.

On June 1st, which is Children's Day, "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" will be officially launched.

After the news was released, many players were also very excited, and they opened the Nebula game platform for pre-orders as soon as possible.

These players are basically loyal fans of Chen Xu.

On the one hand, he has a lot of trust in Fengyun Games and the games produced by Chen Xu.

On the other hand, it is waiting too long.

Different from the previous new works of Nebula Games, "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" was launched at the beginning of the year, when the project was developed.

And the way to promote warm-up is also different from previous games.

It adopts the method of linkage with many classic games of Nebula Games, and also reveals many key contents.

These contents have not revealed any content, but only depict a huge world view to the players.

It seems that there is no painting cake, but painting cakes all the time, it can be said that it is not enough to hang the player's appetite.

All players can't wait to enter the world of the witcher.

Take a peek and see what kind of game this game is.

Wonderful or unremarkable?
