Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Li Yue in the game can clearly feel the change in the relationship between Joel and Ellie.

In the beginning, when Tess just died, the two of them didn't even say a word along the way.

As for Ellie, the little girl, the emotion she felt when she saw the reindeer in the woods, and the way she looked at the game arcade and the record store, made her come alive and made players realize Ellie. Still a 13-year-old girl.

But unlike normal little girls, Ellie is obviously special, because when she was born, the order was broken.

So I can see that Ellie's mouth is full of chapters, and she often talks about 'Fa Q' at every turn.

At the same time, despite being a 13-year-old girl, she also has a decisive side.

While in Pittsburgh, Joel was nearly killed by a hunter attack.

He also helped Ellie immediately, picked up the gun next to him, and shot the hunter in the head.

In the face of Ellie who shot, Joel's first reaction was to be angry because the other party didn't keep his promise.

But Ellie didn't choose to be used to Joel at this time.

'do you know? You shouldn't say that! ’

'You should say: Hey Ellie, I know it's not easy, but then either he died or I died, thank you for saving me! ’

'Joel, do you have something similar to say to me? ’

Facing Ellie who was expecting something, Joel just turned and left in silence.

For this reason, Ellie also had a little temper.

But in the end, Joel chose to trust Ellie, and even gave Ellie a rifle to cover herself, and thanked her for the previous encounter in her own words: 'Let's find out, at that time ... It's true that either he died or I died. ’

Ellie was obviously stunned for a moment when she heard Joel's words.

These performances are those of Li Yue and other people who can feel the relationship between Joel and Ellie, which seems to be slowly changing.

But Li Yue was very worried about this change.

Makes you feel warm, and then stabs a knife into your heart.

This is his evaluation of Chen Xu.

How united was the Vanderlinde Gang in the early days of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption"? May eventually fall apart and Arthur Morgan dies.

And "Assassin's Creed" Ezio's father, brother and brother, as well as his first love girlfriend.

A series of games follow this design.

The most crucial point is that this "Last Survivor" has already shown such signs.

At the beginning, Sarah's father and daughter Wenxin ushered in death just after the end, and the end of the friendship between Tess and Joel also ushered in death.

In the small town, Bill and Joel just finished their relationship when they saw Bill's friend die.

Especially in Pittsburgh, repeating such a desperate and simple plot.

…………

In Pittsburgh, Joel and Ellie hid in a house, but there was another pair of black brothers in the house.

Henry and Sam, two very common names.

They were the only survivors of a small group, but they were the only two left after being separated from the larger group.

Although it is the end of the world, both of them have children.

This makes Joel and Henry decide to act together.

On the way to a toy store, Henry's younger brother Sam wanted to take a Gundam toy but was stopped.

Then the four decided to find clues about Firefly through the radio.

However, he was attacked by hunters in the middle. When he finally climbed through the ladder, the ladder was damaged and only Joel was left.

So Henry and Sam turned around and ran without hesitation.

But Ellie jumped down without any hesitation and chose to face the danger with Joel.

The escape all the way was very thrilling. Finally, Joel and Ellie fell off the bridge. When Joel woke up, he was already on the beach. Henry, who had chosen to leave with Sam before, was next to him.

Joel was full of anger, but then he was silent because of Henry's words.

Because he also understands that Henry does not want to risk his younger brother, and if Joel is on top, he will not hesitate to make the same choice

And after this life-and-death crisis, the team seems to be more harmonious.

There was a lot of laughter along the way, and Ellie and Sam, two children with similar personalities, also mingled.

Read comics, play games, bicker with each other, and even play a mini game of darts.

Strict Henry did not stop him as he did in the previous toy store, but he also smiled and chatted with Joel with some emotion.

But just as Li Yue thought, the warmer the front, the crueler the back.

While Joel was chatting with Henry, Ellie in another room brought Sam the toy he wanted to take away.

But after Ellie left, Sam threw the toy on the ground.

There was a scratch on his leg and it had started to get worse.

So the next scene is logical.

Sam was infected in the morning, and Henry killed his brother himself in desperation.

There are no earth-shattering scenes, not even many lines.

The two gunshots brought despair and depression.

………………

Time flies, and it is already autumn in the blink of an eye.

Ellie and Joel came to Jackson County, where Joel met his younger brother Tommy.

Although the two of them had an unpleasant quarrel, they were brothers after all.

They cursed and scolded each other, but when they hugged each other, no one wanted to let go first.

Then through the conversation, I learned that Tommy is now married, and he has built a stronghold with his wife.

But not hunters who make a living by hunting their own kind, the group gathers to support themselves by growing crops and raising livestock.

Everyone has a clear division of labor, and there are enough armed forces to protect them.

Here is what Li Yue has never seen in the game so far.

Although it is still the end of the world, although there are still zombies outside, it is full of vitality and hope.

Once here, Tommy handed Joel a photo.

That's a photo of Joel and Sarah.

However, Joel did not accept this photo because it was a pain in his heart forever.

But what Joel said next made Li Yue a little stunned.

Because Joel wants to back down here, he wants to leave Allie to Tommy and leave.

They had a big fight about it, after all Tommy wasn't alone anymore, he had a family of his own.

When they were at a stalemate, the nearby hunters came and fought back the enemy together.

Ellie spoke emotionally about the situation for Joel, but Joel didn't listen at all, just the nervous inspector Ellie asked her if she was injured.

Looking at this scene, Li Yue in the game showed a stunned expression.

He understood why Joel was reluctant to continue taking Ellie on the road.

Because during this journey, unknowingly, Joel has regarded Ellie as his most important person, and he has regarded Ellie as his daughter.

Tommy obviously got it too, so he decided to take the trouble.

Tommy had thought about what happened twenty years ago, if he had arrived earlier.

So Sarah won't die?

But everyone overlooked one thing, that is, what does Ellie think?

Ellie, who overheard Joel and the others talking, stole a horse and ran out of the camp alone.

Finally in a ranch, Tommy and Joel found her.

Looking at Ellie leaning on the balcony and reading the diary, Joel scolded her loudly, saying that she was too self-willed and didn't know how much trouble she had caused them.

And here Ellie finally broke out.

‘Stop bullshitting? What are you afraid of? Afraid that I'll end up like Sam? I won't get infected, I can take care of myself. ' Ellie looked at Joel.

‘How many times have we been in danger? ' Joel said, but looked away.

'It looks like we're doing well at the moment. ’

'Then you'll do better with Tommy! ' Joel retorted.

'I'm not her... Maria told me about Sarah, and I...' Ellie whispered.

'Ellie...you are driving yourself to a corner...' Joel turned to look at Ellie and shook his head.

'I'm sad about Sarah, but Joel...I've lost important people too. ' Ellie looked directly at Joel.

'You won't understand. ' Joel looked at Ellie and shook his head, obviously he didn't think a 13-year-old girl born in the end of the world had ever been through anything.

Facing the stubborn Joel, Ellie finally couldn't bear it any longer, and shoved Joel fiercely.

‘F**K! Everyone who cares about me either dies or leaves me! ’

'Everyone is like this! F**K! Except you bastard! ’

'So don't say it's safer for me to be with anyone, F**K! Then I will only be more afraid! ’

Seeing Ellie's emotional outburst, Joel's lips trembled: 'You're right, you're not my daughter, and I'm not going to be your dad...we'll go our separate ways. ’

After solving the enemy who fell, the three returned to the town with the resentful sound of the guitar.

The three of them didn't say a word the whole way.

Outside Tommy's town, it was quiet and peaceful, like a paradise, without the atmosphere of doomsday.

Here, Joel looked at Ellie's back and finally made up his mind.

‘Where is their laboratory? ’

'All the way, Eastern Colorado University. ’

'Allie, get off the horse and give it back to Tommy. ’

Hearing Joel's words, Ellie raised her head suddenly.

'If you have no opinion, I want to spend more time with her. ' Joel finished talking to Tommy, looking at Ellie: 'Come on, don't make me say it again. ’

'There is room for you here. ' Tommy tries to keep Joel and Ellie behind before leaving.

Without answering Tommy's words, Joel just turned his head and glanced at Ellie behind him.

‘Are you ready? ’

After getting the answer, Joel looked at Tommy and nodded slightly.

'Goodbye, brother. ’

As the reporters of the evaluation, they are completely immersed in the plot at this moment.

Not thinking about the evaluation, the only thing they want to know is what will happen to Joel and Ellie later.

In the end, Chen Xu wouldn't really be able to be cruel and stage another tragedy, would he?
