Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

After nearly a month, Chen Xu also brought the team back to Nebula Games.

During this period, in addition to the DLC of the two wizards, "Heart of Stone" and "Blood and Wine", it attracted countless players.

After entering the new year, the major game makers who avoided Nebula game "Resident Evil: Village" have also made efforts one after another.

FOW's new work "Curse of the Lost", which chose to bounce the ticket before, has achieved some good results.

It's not a lot of gods, but it's a relatively good game.

However, it is NetDragon's new work that has won the attention of many players.

Relying on a blond little loli's work, it can be said to be a model of a bounced textbook.

Its good quality has also won the favor of many players, which can be regarded as a shot in the arm for NetDragon. After all, NetDragon has been called a net **** by many players in the past two years.

The main reason is that I haven't been able to come up with new works, and I have repeatedly fried all kinds of cold rice before. This new work is also a good change.

However, in addition to these new works, many players are also concerned about the competition for various awards this year.

Since the beginning of the new year, a large number of game evaluation media's annual game awards have hit.

Different game evaluation media have different evaluation rules for each annual game, and the time of the award ceremony is also different. Some are finished at the end of December, and some are later.

In addition, various awards have different specifications. Some of them have various performances like large-scale ceremonies, while others are just meaningless, and even there are no medals and trophies.

But no matter how big or small, the two protagonists this year are "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" and "Wasteland 1978" on the FOW side.

For some large award ceremonies, players are basically guarding the computer and watching the live broadcast.

Although it has nothing to do with them, but after all, it is to watch the fun.

But soon many players discovered a surprising place.

"Hey... President Chen didn't even attend this annual game award!?"

"Yeah! Even the official Chen Xu of the game department didn't attend! Isn't Chen Xu the honorary representative designer of the game department?"

"Not only Chen Xu, but also Alex from FOW didn't attend!"

"Alix didn't attend, but I can think of the reason. After all, this is really a bit miserable. I thought that "Wasteland 1978" was superior to the pack, but who knew that a "Witcher: Wild Hunt" would suddenly appear in the second half of the year. Don't go!"

"Brother upstairs, stop thinking about it, it's not your turn at all."

"Fuck, can't I dream?"

"Brother, this dream is a little extravagant for you. I think you can just think about it in your mind. You don't necessarily dream about it."

And just as the players were discussing why these two annual game awards, Alex and Chen Xu, the two winners, were replaced by executives and employees in the company when one of them did not come, a gossip suddenly spread on the Internet.

That is, Chen Xu and Alex, both are concentrating on developing new games.

Seeing this news, the first reaction of many players was not to believe it, and it did not attract much attention.

After all, at the end of the year, there are not ten or eight such news.

Of course, there is also a certain rationality. After all, the best events of the year in previous years, these are held by third-party media.

But just like the official event once a year, Chen Xu will still come forward.

But this time, even the activities of the game department are dove.

But then some more important news broke out, that is, a player took a photo of Chen Xu and his team appearing in Boston.

Judging from these photos, it is obvious that this is not an ordinary company tour or something. After all, the places visited are not well-known attractions.

So this is likely to be a realistic scene. At this time, many players also thought of the time when "Assassin's Creed" was developed before.

Are you going to show Boston, or maybe Massachusetts, this time?

Many players frantically left messages under Chen Xu's official blog, asking if it was true.

In the face of these crazy players, Chen Xu did not hide it.

Directly and generously announced the new news.

'Virus, doomsday, bondage...'

Doomsday, virus, bondage?

Looking at the three keywords released by Chen Xu, many players were confused for a while.

It seems familiar!

Thinking back to the previous village, isn't this a perfect match for the IP of "Resident Evil"?

So this new work is still a biochemical sequel?

After Chen Xu's official blog released the information, it spread directly to various game forums at home and abroad.

Players who like "Resident Evil" have beaten gongs and drums, expressing their excitement.

At the same time, speculation is also underway, that is, whether the new work may introduce Rose's story, and whether Ethan is dead in the end.

Although in the game plot of the official experience, Ethan seems to perish with the bacteria master.

But in the last Easter egg plot, Rose and the detective's car stopped on the road in the distance, and there was a figure beside the car.

Many players are speculating whether it is Ethan or not.

Perhaps these questions may be revealed in the new work?

In addition to excited players, many designers in the game industry are also very surprised by this.

Everyone didn't expect Chen Xu's next game, it looked like it might still be horror, and it looked like a biochemical sequel.

After all, Nebula Games has always been disliked in the continuous launch of sequels, except for the continuous mode of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

But then again, even if it's not a biochemical sequel.

This time, it is unusual to launch a similar game in such a short time.

 …

The game circle is surging, and Chen Xu in the Nebula game is also very emotional.

"I didn't want to draw cakes at first, but this player keeps forcing me to draw cakes! I haven't had time to create the folder for this game."

Chen Xu shook his head when he saw the hot word "New Nebula Game" that had already made headlines on the Internet.

Nebula Games has always been criticized by players as a cake maker.

From the earliest real machine demonstration to the promotional trailer later, to only the promotional concept map, as well as a simple game name and background description.

There are only a few keywords at this point.

"Then Mr. Chen, you are deliberately inciting the player's appetite." Listening to Chen Xu's words, Ruan Ningxue and the others next to him were speechless.

Nearly a month of history is used for actual scene mining.

During this period, everyone has been discussing the direction of game art.

At present, the overall style has basically been determined, and the main thing is the performance of the actual output.

It can be said that at least the things that can be shown to players are almost these keywords.

And can't say much more.

"There's no other way, after all, the players strongly demand it." Although Chen Xu sighed with emotion, the smile on his face never stopped.

"Okay, everyone pack up and go to the conference room to briefly explain the content of the new work." Chen Xu stood up and said.

Compared with the previous game, the game "The Last Survivor" still needs to be changed and paid attention to when it is put on the Universal VR.
