Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

"So beautiful!"

Seeing everything in front of him, Song Ren felt a sense of surprise.

The snow did not know when it had stopped, and the sky was still bright, surrounded by smoke and clouds in the distance.

From a distance, in the cloud of smoke, it is a mysterious village with densely packed low-rise houses.

There was no sound around, there was a dead silence.

At the back of the village, stood a huge castle, and the white smoke cloud shrouded the Gothic castle, adding a sense of mystery.

The castle cooperates with the village, and a religious atmosphere immediately strikes.

This moment seemed to make Song Ren feel that he was not playing the horror game "Resident Evil: Village", but was playing Bloodborne and Black Soul.

The taste is just too much.

Passing through the narrow mountain road, and then came to a place similar to a cliff, overlooking the spectacular scene in the distance, it can be said that the taste is quite sufficient.

And if at this time there is a red admonition on the ground, or the messenger who left a note reads: There is a superb view ahead.

Song Ren would not feel abrupt.

But the only difference is that Ethan is now unarmed.

Sighing in place, Song Ren also embarked on the journey to find his daughter.

Also looking for his daughter, Geralt next door played cards, boxing, horse racing and piling all the way. It can be said that not a single entertainment activity was left behind.

But what about Ethan?

Song Ren took a step and paused, his heart was quite active.

It was this scene that made him feel too uncomfortable.

There are no dark scenes, but the atmosphere is the most important.

Except for the crow's cry, and Ethan's breathing and footsteps, there was no sound at all.

This feeling deepened when Song Ren crossed a mountain path and came to the mysterious village he had seen before.

It's just too weird!

There are two groups of dead horses on the ground at the head of the village, and their blood has turned dark red.

The surrounding households seem to have been damaged, and even the food is still hot on the stove in the house, as if the head of the household had suddenly escaped.

Obviously there should be someone in this house before, but it disappeared for some reason.

This kind of weird atmosphere made Song Ren only feel a gust of cold air coming from the soles of his feet and swept his whole body.

The well and the locked gate, Song Ren carefully explored the village, but he couldn't go to many places.

From here, he also discovered one of the changes that Chen Xu said before.

That is the gameplay in "Resident Evil: Village", which is a bit similar to the Hakoba exploration in "Super Mario: Odyssey".

Now he can only move in this area, and some rooms on the map will be marked after there are no collected items.

It can be said that there is more freedom in the gameplay.

But it is this kind of freedom that keeps Song Ren's heart hanging in the air.

Because in the previous work, as long as you follow the prompts all the way to the end, although you know you may encounter shocks, you will feel better if you are mentally prepared.

But in this work, if he can explore freely, then he feels that he is likely to be scared to death by his own paranoia instead of being scared to death by the high-energy scene.

"Knife, hand sanitizer!"

After fumbling around in every room, Song Ren finally found a good thing in a cramped house.

Knife!

And there is a box with a particularly eye-catching color next to it, which seems to be prompting the player to "hurry up and destroy me".

With the knife he had just got, Song Ren made a light stroke, and the box shattered to harvest a bottle of 'hand sanitizer'.

In the related UI of "Resident Evil: Village", Chen Xu did not make much adjustment, but was still similar to the original.

Even the modeling of the 'hand sanitizer' has not been replaced, which can be described as authentic.

And this familiar feeling can be said to make the player very comfortable, at least now Song Ren's originally nervous heart is relieved.

Who else is he afraid of even with a knife and hand sanitizer?

"I've got the artifact, I'm still short of a small pistol and I'll be alive!"

Song Ren's face was full of joy. Although it was just a knife and a bottle of 'hand sanitizer', it gave him a full sense of security, because he was finally not a powerless existence.

But just as he was about to leave the room, he heard something.

"Someone? What's going on?" Song Ren immediately stopped and looked into the room.

There was a curtain, and at this moment the curtain moved slightly again.

Looking at the curtains in front of him, Song Ren hesitated for a moment, then slowly groped towards the front.

Curiosity is always in human nature.

If it was in real life, Song Ren would definitely run as far as he could now, but in the game, his heart to die is always unbearable.

squeak - squeak

The shoes squeaked on the wooden floor, and Song Ren approached cautiously with the knife he had just obtained.

Then he suddenly opened the curtain in front of him.

'boom! ’

"I took NM!"

The sound of a loud shotgun directly shocked Song Ren, and his whole body trembled.

What's more, it really is to open the door and kill!

Even though he was fully prepared in his heart, when he really faced this situation, he was inevitably taken aback.

It's just that the next scene made Song Ren a little surprised.

Because behind the curtain is not some terrifying monster, but an old man with a shotgun.

The other party looked at Ethan trembling and looked extremely frightened.

'what! No, I am not, not the enemy! ’

Facing the old man with the gun, Ethan raised his hands heartily.

'Who are you? Who sent you here? ' the old man asked in a low voice.

'no one! I was in a car accident and on the road...'

But before Ethan could finish speaking, the old man came out of the room and covered Ethan's mouth with one hand.

At this time, there was a sharp whistle from outside the house.

'They're coming... they're coming. ’

Walking into the house, the old man looked outside the house through the window, and the whole person was extremely flustered.

And Ethan still doesn't know what's going on.

‘Who… who is here? ’

'Tell me you have a gun! ' The old man looked at Ethan.

'No, what do you want a gun for? ' Ethan couldn't help but get nervous.

The old man did not answer Ethan's question, but ran into the room and handed a small pistol to Ethan: 'I can only give you this! take it! take it...'

'What's going on, what's going on outside? ' Ethan looked around vigilantly, holding the pistol.

boom!

The old man didn't answer Ethan's words, but turned his head and shot outside.

Ethan turned his head quickly, but saw nothing.

'Don't say it... They're here, get ready...' The old man's hand trembled as he loaded the shotgun.

bang! bang!

But this time there was a sound from the roof.

Before the old man and Ethan could react, a hole was punched through the fragile ceiling, and the old man who was loading the bullet was grabbed and dragged into the dark attic.

With a scream, blood dripped from the second floor, dripping all over Ethan.

"Master! Gun! Trash! You leave me with the troll!" Song Ren felt that his voice was full of tears.

It's hard to come across an uncle, this is a Riddler plus props baby?

Tell me what's going on outside!

And you don't give me the pistol! You leave your troll for me!
