Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

In addition to the plot and ending of the game, for most players who have cleared the game.

The most concerned is the new gameplay that "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" will be updated after customs clearance.

That is despair mode.

Unlike Dark Souls and Bloodborne, which has PVP content.

"Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" does not have the function of networking, and players can basically only interact with each other through mechanisms such as afterimages.

Therefore, for many players, "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" does not have much content that needs to be removed. After all, there are not many genres for players to cultivate accounts.

However, this does not mean that after "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" is cleared, there is no other content to play.

It can be said that in "Dark Soul" and "Bloodborne Curse", after clearing the one-week plot, everyone went to play with the elements of RPG development.

Moreover, under the condition that the difficulty of the first game is maintained, the second week and the third week are not as difficult as imagined.

After all, in the case of a week's purpose, basically most players have upgraded their weapons and levels.

Compared with Sekiro, the RPG numerical elements of Bloodborne and Black Soul have a great influence on the difficulty of the game.

Otherwise, it would not be said that in the prequel, after getting the Tomb King Sword in the early stage or waiting for the correction to be able to fully use the Guan Dao, there is a saying that the game becomes unparalleled.

But in "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", these two weeks are different from what most players imagined.

There are two ways to increase the difficulty in Sekiro. One is to hand over Kuro's amulet, and the other is to ring the bell at the Zhonggui Buddhist Hall of Xianfeng Temple in Mount Kumgang.

And these two modes can be superimposed.

Among them, in the mode of Lian Zhan, players can unlock it after clearing the corresponding plot. This is what Chen Xu has already added to the game in advance.

As for the desperate mode, it is not provided to players for the time being, but the content will be updated after fixing some bugs.

Although the VR version was produced by Chen Xu, the evil way bugs like swimming in the air in the previous life no longer exist. As for the ghost-shaped body jumping off the building to welcome the assassination of the broken monk, this belongs to the back door that he specially left behind.

But a game is naturally impossible to have no bugs at all. At most, some minor bugs are turned into the characteristics of the game itself.

But there are also some numerical content that needs to be balanced, so large and small patches cannot escape.

This time, the Desperate Mode is different from the ordinary Lian Battle Mode, and the requirements for ordinary players are relatively harsh, that is, the player needs to clear the two-week objective duo once, that is, the two-week objective can only be opened after the two difficulty levels are superimposed.

As for this despair mode, some players in the previous life made corresponding despair MODs, which greatly changed the way of waiting for the boss and the desire to attack, so that the difficulty increased to more than one level, and even added the corresponding DEBUFF.

In this regard, Chen Xu directly made it into the built-in mode of the game, including the next update. In addition to this mode itself, there will be a special racing leaderboard for players to challenge and constantly refresh the time record. Alternative PVP competition mode.

In the despair mode made by Chen Xu, in addition to strengthening the attack power, HP, and these basic attributes of mobs and bosses, some modifications were also made to the front and rear shaking movements of the move.

For example, the original Xinyilang Sakura Mai, the time to make a move is 1 second, then this time may be shortened by one third again in the desperate mode.

In addition, the AI ​​of the bosses in the game has also been comprehensively strengthened. The previous bosses were foolish to take the initiative to make moves. Players can attack and seek flaws.

But now, the BOSS will not necessarily preempt the attack, and may confront the player and catch the player's flaws.

It's like hitting him with a thorn in the face of the adoptive father's player.

Of course, there is another biggest enhancement, that is, unblockable skills, there will be no danger prompts.

It depends on the player's proficiency in BOSS moves.

Of course it's not just that, because this desperate mode adopts the same content progression as the normal game.

That is to say, from Aishina, to customs clearance, and the Lian Zhan powerhouse behind.

They all implement the desperate mode, and in this mode, the moves of some genre cheats have also been changed, which means that the player's previous experience in the desperate mode, in addition to the basic skills, also need to delve into the game mode, it can be said that in addition to the monster long The same outside are definitely two different games.

In Nebula Game's office, Qin Yi crawled out of the Universal VR game room and looked at Chen Xu who was doing a numerical check next to him with a pained expression.

"Mr. Chen, speaking of the difficulty of this desperate mode, will it be a little bit higher?"

God knows why he took the initiative to ask Ying to come for the test, and after half an hour of fighting, he didn't even beat Chi Gui.

"How can it be so high? Although it is a desperate mode, you can think of it as a new game flow, and since it is called a desperate mode, it must bring despair to the players! Otherwise, it can be worthy of those who have higher expectations. Is it more difficult to challenge players' wishes?"

"Think about it, the player is in the mood to encounter a stronger and more terrifying enemy, and then suddenly discovers that the enemy is so weak that it explodes, how disappointed would it be?" Chen Xu said with a smile.

So in order to let the player feel the sincerity in his heart, Chen Xu once again issued an instruction for the despair mode, that is: increase the intensity.

As for too hard?

Will players suffer?

What a joke!

Isn't this player coming to play this game just to suffer?

………………

As for the despair mode, whether it will make people desperate, players still don't know.

But for some players who were looking forward to the Desperate Mode and took action to challenge the two heroes in the second week, they knew one thing.

That's not to mention the desperate mode that hasn't been updated yet.

The difficulty of these two weeks is enough to make them despair.

In the secret room of Hirata's mansion three years ago, Song Ren, who had embarked on a journey of re-challenge, watched the familiar death on the screen and the familiar phrase "just a puppy" by Mrs. Butterfly and silently chose to close the game.

In the case of a week's purpose, like most players, he is full of ambition.

Then in Lien Chan, he successfully slashed Genichiro in his heart, and he felt that the only thing he could look forward to was despair mode.

Until he opened the second episode, the previous two episodes of Blood Origin and Black Soul could only be described with ease.

But the wolf's second-week eyes were completely beyond his imagination.

The beads and battle memory have been inherited, and the blood bar looks very long.

But unlike Black Soul and Blood Origin, the length of the blood bar is really different in the second week. In Sekiro, he found that the monster's attack is a percentage of blood loss.

In other words, it took three knives to slash him before, but now it still takes three knives to slash him.

And although the combat memory has increased the attack power, the health bars of the boss and the mobs have also increased!

The more critical issue is that in the case of increasing the difficulty.

Imperfect bullet knife, in addition to increasing the parry bar, it also deducts blood!

You must know that in the first week, he was able to clear a martial arts technique called Shaking Swordsmanship, which helped him a lot.

In the face of Genichiro Ashina's flying boat, Madam Butterfly's darts and flying left and right, and his adoptive father's slashing, he relied on shaking the knife.

but now?

If the block is not perfect, the blood will be deducted, and he will be numb directly!

He has lost count of how many times he lost blood because he failed to block perfectly, and died under Madame Butterfly's phantom light ball.

"You should return this amulet to me. After all, it is a token of Kuro, so it is better to keep it with me as a ninja."

Seeing the picture of the wolf resurrecting after death, Song Ren silently returned to the Buddha sculptor and took the amulet back.
