Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

The guard in front of him grabbed Zhang Yi's wrist.

The scene of the cutscene made Zhang Yi's field of vision look at the back of his hand, with the letters AD written on it.

"Okay, where did you get that mark? Boy, did you know that would make you a stab in the back, a false shepherd lurking in the back?"

"We won't let false shepherds in, haha!"

"Show him some color, boys!"

Zhang Yi was stunned in an instant.

In Colombia, the city in the sky, there has always been a rumor that false shepherds will take away the lambs.

And Booker came to Columbia Sky City, didn't he just take Elizabeth away?

If so, wouldn't it be possible to explain it?

So Elizabeth is the daughter of the Prophet Comstock known as the Lamb. Booker is the fake shepherd who came to take Elizabeth away.

But where did the prophet know about this?

Can prophets really predict the future?

And what about the warning card that the newsboy gave her before?

And who are the mysterious brothers and sisters who made Booker toss a coin before the lottery?

A series of question marks appeared in Zhang Yi's mind.

But now he doesn't have much time to think about these doubts.

Because the picture in front of him brought a greater impact to him at the moment.

Colombia, the original city in the sky, can be described as a dream like heaven.

But now Colombia is still the same Colombia, but a Colombia full of blood and violence.

Using a chainsaw weapon like a windmill, he fired the guard who wanted to capture Booker.

The blood splatter makes the whole game's picture feel unspeakably weird.

But obviously, after playing here, Zhang Yi also knows one thing, that is, "Bioshock" is not a pure FPS game.

Like the plot of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", the story occupies a large proportion.

But compared to the former, the story of this "Bioshock" seems to be very complicated.

After all, in modern warfare, it is clear from the beginning what is being said.

It is nothing more than Price and his party to smash the conspiracy of various careerists, and then avenge their dead comrades in arms later.

But "Bioshock: Infinite" up to now, Zhang Yi can be said to be full of doubts, just like playing a soul game, there are countless mysteries shrouded in Zhang Yi's head.

Apart from simply knowing that Booker is going to take Elizabeth away to pay off the debt, everything else is a mystery.

Can prophets really predict the future? Who founded Columbia Sky City? Why did Booker's employer take Elizabeth away?

However, apart from all kinds of confusing plots, the battle of the game made Zhang Yi feel very novel.

Unlike "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", which is purely chuchu, "Bioshock" is like an RPG type game.

And in the game, you can also use unique supernatural magic to assist in battle.

Left-hand magic and right-hand firearms, it can be said to be very cool.

The only thing that makes Zhang Yi feel a little helpless is that the game does not use the breathing and blood-returning method in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

Instead, it uses a constant blood volume like most games, which means that players need to find blood packs in the game.

Zhang Yi chose the normal difficulty. Occasionally, the blood feels a little too much.

But what Zhang Yi didn't know was that this kind of design was also intentional by Chen Xu.

Compared with the constant blood volume, the biggest advantage of the breathing method is that it allows players to immerse themselves in the game's plot and get a silky smooth experience.

And constant blood volume, because players sometimes have residual blood to actively look for blood packs, which brings a sense of separation.

But there is a very important point in "Bioshock: Infinite", that is Elizabeth.

In the game, when Booker gets to know Elizabeth, the other party will join the team to provide various help.

The blood pack is one of the contents provided by Elizabeth, in order to establish the player's relationship with Elizabeth.

There is no best solution for both worlds, and more need to make some trade-offs, and "Bioshock: Infinite" obviously is more important to shape the relationship between Elisabeth and the player.

The identity has been exposed, and Booker is no longer hiding, killing all the way towards Monument Island where Elizabeth is located.

With the progress of the game's plot, after coming to the tax station to talk to Comstock's video for the first time, Zhang Yi's confusion further intensified.

Comstock, known as a prophet, seems to be able to predict the future, and accurately stated Booker's identity and origin.

Even the employer's conversation with Booker.

'I know why you came, false shepherd. ’

'I saw the original sins that stained your soul - Wounded Knee, private detectives, alcoholism, gambling, and of course Anna. ’

'Now to pay off your debts, do you still want my lamb? But Booker, not all debts can be paid off. ’

The airship of Comstock was snatched, but then Comstock appeared in person and made the people in the airship commit suicide and turned it into flames, and the airship crashed.

So Booker was only able to make one leap of faith.

This is also where Zhang Yi feels the excitement, using the hook in his hand to slide on the sky track.

He has acrophobia, even if he doesn't look at his feet, just looking at the surrounding white clouds makes his legs tremble a little.

If this falls, it is estimated that he will become Zhang Yijiang.

All kinds of mysteries made Zhang Yi's heart full of curiosity, the origin of Comstock and why Booker always had nosebleeds during the process.

Is Booker terminally ill? But not so bloody, right?

Zhang Yi's mysteries are accumulating more and more.

Of course, apart from these mysteries, the performance of "Bioshock: Infinite" also surprised Zhang Yi.

Although there was only about an hour of game experience, Zhang Yi also clearly felt the difference in Colombia, the city in the sky.

Religion, race, and steampunk.

Colombia, the city in the sky in the game, can be said to be a standard dystopian city.

Under the leadership of the Prophet Comstock, people seem to live and work in peace, just like the bright colors of the sky city.

But in fact, this city in the sky is full of racial discrimination and serious exploitation.

In the game, Franklin, Washington, and Jefferson were regarded as gods and worshipped by the people in Colombia.

While Lincoln was in Columbia, Satan was called hell, and the devil was called heresy.

It can be said that there is extreme racism in Colombia, the city in the sky.

In the game, these contents are shown in every detail, not simply as a background board.

This also made Zhang Yi even more looking forward to how to show this game in the content of the game later.
