Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

The news of the two expansion pieces of The Witcher can be said to have attracted the attention of many players.

Even if it has been online for a while, many players still cannot forget the things that the white wolf has experienced in "The Witcher: Wild Hunt".

It's just that many players are also very worried while looking forward to it. After all, Ethan Winters just died on the front foot of "Resident Evil: The Village", and the DLC of the wizard on the back foot is released. Players are quite afraid of encountering Chen Asahi's two swords.

Even in the previous publicity meeting, Toussaint looked beautiful.

But the more beautiful the appearance, the more dangerous it may be!

Anticipation and worry, that's a sentiment shared by many players.

Compared with ordinary players, many manufacturers in the game industry are also more entangled at this time.

For example, FOW on the zeus side.

After being acquired by zeus, FOW can be said to want money, money, and people. This year, he also made a "Wasteland 1978", which can be said to be self-satisfied. Even at that time, he felt that he could show his strength in the annual game. But I encountered the monster-level existence of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt".

But even so, it is also a lot of money, and it is natural to continue to launch new works.

But now FOW is faced with a situation, that is, whether the next new work will be launched as scheduled.

The original plan was to launch their new work on Christmas Day, and their new work, including the publicity plan, has been drawn up, and the pre-heating has begun.

But I didn't expect that Nebula Games actually announced the release time of the Witcher DLC in advance, and it happened to be 5 days earlier than them.

This confuses them.

It doesn't matter if the time is earlier or later, but the key point is very delicate.

Secondly, it is also because this is "The Witcher: Wild Hunt". If other game manufacturers, it is just a DLC for a game. Can't you just go directly to A?

But the previous popularity of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" made FOW have to consider it.

It is also divided into two factions.

"The Witcher: Wild Hunt is really good, but the quality of our new project "Curse of the Lost" is also quite good. Besides, Nebula Games is only DLC content. How rich can the content of the DLC expansion be? It's impossible. Is it really like a game, can provide dozens of hours of content?" Grayson, the main creator of the new project "Lost Curse" on the FOW side, said very confidently.

In his view, this is a very good opportunity.

Although the quality of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" is quite explosive, this year's year can even be said to be without suspense.

But this time the other party is only an expansion piece, and although the "Lost Curse" he developed is not as good as the previous "Wasteland 1978", the internal audit of the company and the closed test of the media have also given a relatively high evaluation.

In this case, he feels that face A has won!

Can't beat the main body, can't beat you with a DLC?

Listening to Grayson's words, several of the executives of other departments in the company nodded their heads with moving expressions.

But someone quickly rebutted.

Alex, the core designer who previously developed Wasteland 1978.

Thanks to "Wasteland 1978", now he has a considerable voice within FOW.

"It can be played, but it is not necessary. The Witcher: Wild Hunt has accumulated a large number of fans. As long as the quality is not very bad, super popularity and big sales are inevitable. Besides, Chen Xu's name likes to hurt players. In other words, this time the DLC is likely to end with the death of the white wolf, if this is the case, you should understand what will happen." Alex shook his head and analyzed.

In his opinion, the risk is still too great, although it is not his project, but now his identity is not just a simple designer.

Listening to Alex's words, Grayson frowned, but nodded in agreement with Alex's words.

The protagonist manipulated by the player dies, what does this mean?

It means that either the character and the game will be sublimated and become an indelible memory of the player.

Just like "Red Dead Redemption", "Assassin's Creed", "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" and "Resident Evil: Village" which was launched shortly before.

Either it is because the death of the protagonist is worthless, or even a little embarrassed, which makes the player cast off from love to hate.

But the other party is Chen Xu and Nebula Games!

Nebula games are too experienced in this regard.

How many protagonists have you killed over the years? They know very well **** the protagonist, so that players will remember instead of scolding.

And in this case, if these two DLCs really end with the death of the white wolf.

Nebula Games made Geralt the white wolf sacrifice heroically for Ciri or Yennefer, just like Soap, Xiaoqiang and the others in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", how much heat it will cause Alex can't even imagine .

"Let's skip the ticket until the New Year...and the previous publicity model of Nebula Games and NetDragon Games is very good. Release the handsome guys, beauties and hot girls in the game, and make an apology stage play, which is more vivid." After discussing for a long time, Alex finally made a conclusion.

………………

Chen Xu didn't know what happened on the FOW side. At this time, he asked the office to apply for the corresponding procedures for everyone.

"Mr. Chen, let's go to Boston this time... No, go to Boston to pick up scenery?" Yang Xin was very excited.

Chen Xu revealed some new project content before, but he didn't know what it was.

But now I tell them that everyone will go to Boston to collect scenery next year. Obviously, this is a game with a modern or modern background.

After all, unlike a city with a long history like Florence, Boston has a history of less than 400 years.

"Not just Boston, but also Pittsburgh, and Eastern Colorado University..." Chen Xu said with a smile.

"But Mr. Chen, what type of new project is it!" Ruan Ningxue couldn't be more curious, and Meng Zuo and Qin Yi who were next to him also pricked up their ears.

"Family affection, doomsday, zombies." Chen Xu said a few key words.

"Ah!? A sequel to "Resident Evil"? Chris is going to be the protagonist?" Meng Zuo was taken aback.

"Is the sequel going to be released so soon?" Qin Yi scratched his head.

"You'll know by then." He said with a smile.

………………

The relevant procedures are not complicated. After finishing the process, Chen Xu took the team to Boston to collect the scenery.

And the news on the Internet about the bounce of the new work on the FOW side has also been announced.

In a three-minute stage play, FOW also tried every means to bring out all the characters in the game that were good enough.

The main content is 'I have to bounce, I'm sorry'.

I have to say that in terms of bounced tickets, since NetDragon used the blond little loli to deceive a lot of traffic, all game makers with a little capital, even bounced tickets, have begun to work together.

After all, compared to the cold black and yellow paper, this bounced ticket model seems to be more sincere.

As for being scolded for using too much?

It's like saying that in the past, it was normal to bounce an apology in black and yellow paper and not be scolded.

However, although the news released by FOW is that the game still needs a period of time to polish.

But discerning players know that this is obviously to avoid the wizard's expansion.

This also makes many players have greater expectations for [Blood and Wine] and [Heart of Stone].

What are the two expansions of The Witcher: Wild Hunt?

Will it really be the same as the players guessed before, these two expansions end with the death of the white wolf?

This question haunts the minds of many players.

As for the best way to answer, that is to experience it for yourself.

As time progresses day by day, two expansion pieces are unlocked.

Regardless of the time difference around the world, players who have experienced the charm of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" are the first to unlock it and enter it.
