Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

There are various discussions among online players, and FOW continues to promote its new work "Wasteland 1981" on its own.

In fact, the Nebula game is not completely without action.

All kinds of advertisements are basically running.

However, although the heat is also very high, there is still no explosion point.

Because with the continuous decryption of the game content, players gradually discovered it.

That is the game "The Last Survivor", and the gameplay content does not seem to have changed much.

It's still a combination of action and shooting. Of course, 90% of the games on the market that are designed with action and firearms are of this type.

Even the "Wasteland 1981" that FOW is promoting is not exempt.

But the key is that it is a brand new gimmick and a changed gameplay.

And the feeling of "The Last Survivor" to players is very traditional.

Although there are also announcements similar to the production system and upgrade system, the overall gameplay is still very traditional, which also makes many players realize that "The Last of Us" will be a story-oriented game.

But the key is that in terms of the plot, the players are in addition to some basic content, such as the name of the main character, and the background about the world.

In the world of The Last of Us, for example, the virus that causes the apocalypse is something like a fungal infection.

How much more?

Then I don't know at all.

Because of this, players were looking forward to "The Last Survivor" at the beginning, but with the promotion of "Wasteland 1981".

The popularity of "The Last Survivor" was also slightly surpassed by "Wasteland 1981".

Until "The Last Survivor" announced its launch date: April 25.

It was not easy to get the popularity back from "Wasteland 1891".

In the FOW, Alex looked at the information on the Internet and was overjoyed.

He was hesitant at first, but with Grayson's persuasion, he successfully withstood the pressure, and it seemed that everything was going in a good direction.

"Although it's just publicity, this is also a victory!" Grayson also said with a smile.

"Unfortunately, "The Last of Us" is obviously a threaded game. Although our "Wasteland 1981" development cycle is earlier than that of Nebula Games, it will take a month to launch even if it is fully accelerated." Alex has some regrets.

In his vision, if "Wasteland 1981" and "The Last Survivor" are launched at the same time, it will complete a lore.

What a pity!

"However, although there is no way to go online at the same time, we can launch a limited-time round A test. The current game progress is fully supported. On the one hand, we can take a look at the word-of-mouth feedback from players, and on the other hand, we can also grab some more "The Last Survivor". The heat, put eye drops on the other party." Grayson thought of something and smiled.

"Nice proposal." Alex also smiled happily.

………………

When the two people on the FOW side were hiding bad thoughts, Nebula Games welcomed a group of special people.

That is the invited media reporters at home and abroad.

Regarding the promotion of "The Last Survivor", Chen Xu naturally did not really do anything.

But in addition to ordinary advertising, it is different from games such as "Witcher: Wild Hunt" and "Assassin's Creed".

It is not like "Assassin's Creed" with the style of Assassin characters, it has a handsome and explosive leap of faith, and it also has a vivid historical and cultural expression.

The core of "The Last Survivor" is the feeling that the plot in the game brings to the player, and the interaction brought by the various details in the apocalypse, so that the player's emotions are immersed in the game and finally burst out.

The story and background settings of "The Last Survivor" are very realistic, which is also to allow players to be better immersed in the game plot at that time.

At the same time, "The Last of Us" is not like "Uncharted", which has all kinds of thrilling scenes.

So Chen Xu chose another publicity method that more game manufacturers have used.

That is the early evaluation of the game media, in line with the launch of "The Last Survivor".

Of course, this propaganda model is quite risky.

For example, the poor quality of the game is likely to be self-defeating.

However, Chen Xu is quite confident about the quality of "The Last Survivor".

Therefore, it also secretly invited well-known media websites such as GameSpot and domestic game time and space to conduct closed evaluations in advance.

………………

In the morning, in the experience room of Nebula Game Headquarters, media reporters from all over the world chatted with each other very excitedly.

Although it is a reporter from all over the world, it is not a problem for everyone to communicate in language if they can participate in this evaluation.

Whether they know each other or not, they are all talking.

Although they are journalists by profession, they also have an identity called players.

"I don't know what kind of work the Nebula game will bring this time. Judging from the promotional trailer and the information released to the outside world, it doesn't seem to be anything special!" A brown-haired female reporter, some said curiously.

The voice fell, and a bald youth with dark circles interjected next to him: "Although judging from the promotional trailer, there is nothing special about this game called "The Last of Us", but this is the first time that Nebula Games has been played. The media commented in advance, and obviously they have full confidence in the game."

"Yes, yes, this can be said to be the first time for Nebula Games, right?"

"However, their confidence made me even more curious about what kind of work such a game that seems to be nothing special would be like."

Some of the reporters around were talking at length.

"Li Yue, do you have any inside information?" At this time, someone asked a young man sitting on the sofa.

Some reporters who were talking on the side also turned their attention to it.

"What kind of inside information can I have? It's just that I think Nebula games have never disappointed people, so I'm very much looking forward to the game "The Last of Us"." The young man known as Li Yue spread his hands and said.

As an invited reporter for the domestic game Starry Sky, Li Yue has a very close relationship with Nebula Games.

Even in the early years, he did an exclusive interview with Chen Xu.

Although he is a reporter, he is an uncompromising nebula fan.

Although he was a little disappointed in the promotional trailer for "The Last of Us" this time, because he couldn't feel anything outstanding just by looking at it, he was still full of confidence in the game before he played the game. He believed in Nebula Games. Will not let him down.

Everyone chatted in the room, but soon a staff member came to remind them that the test could be carried out.

So a group of people also stood up quickly and entered the game warehouse of Universal VR one after another with a look of excitement.

"Experience warehouse dedicated to testing games!"

Li Yue, who also entered Universal VR, immediately noticed the difference.

The VR game equipment in front of me is obviously different from the system installed at home.

And there is only one content, and that is "The Last Survivor".

The icon of the game is a picture of Joel and a little girl with a gun looking at the camera in the sunset.

"I don't know what kind of surprises there will be."

With great anticipation, Li Yue also hurriedly opened the game.

After all, every minute is precious.

This time the closed test, they invited the media only three days.

And not all day.

From 8.30am to 5.30pm, this is the testable time.

"Well...this character setting?"

With the disappearance of the LOGO of Nebula Games, the game screen was officially displayed.

Li Yue showed some surprise.
