Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Controlling Kratos and wielding the chain blade, after clearing the mobs on the deck of the ship, Zhang Yi still has some things to do.

Opening the partition on the overtime, Zhang Yi controlled Kratos to enter the cabin.

In the next second, the ship shook violently, and along with the fluctuation of the waves, the entire ship shook violently, and at the same time, sea water poured in from the breach.

What shocked Zhang Yi even more was that a huge head similar to a sea snake appeared in front of him inside the cabin. The head of this sea snake was covered with layers of scales, gills and fins. The ground opened its mouth and came towards Kratos, and let out a roar.

At the same time, the name of the monster appeared on the screen: Hydra, and the blood bar of the boss battle.

"This is about to start a boss battle? So soon? Are you going to fight a boss when you come up?"

Zhang Yi was a little surprised.

Large-scale bosses have also seen a lot of game players like him.

The huge BOSS in Black Soul, as well as the annihilating dragon, lantern dragon, Hei Huanglong, and molten mountain dragon in Monster Hunter World, and the BOSS in each copy of "World of Warcraft" are also quite large, so Hyde Although La's style was shocking, it didn't surprise him.

What made him feel more cool was the feeling of controlling Kratos' chain blade to slash at the BOSS in "God of War", the feeling of the knife cutting into the flesh.

At the same time, with the simple difficulty, although Kratos who is attacked in the game will also lose blood, but there is no fatal threat at all, which is simply not cool.

Soon the Hydra in front of him was knocked out by Zhang Yi for one-third of his blood, and at this time, the Hydra's head roared and attacked again.

However, Zhang Yi was unexpected at this time, that is, the screen in the game entered a bullet time.

A prompt appeared in front of him.

"What is the gameplay of QTE!"

The so-called QTE is a relatively primitive battle mode. During the game, players need to quickly respond to the buttons on the game screen, and when pressing the corresponding button, the character will use a gorgeous finishing move.

In early action games, QTE was widely used.

The biggest advantage is that it can be used to express some special combat actions, making the battle more exciting and visually impactful.

Of course, this is also a double-edged sword. For example, the counter-example Ashura's Wrath is a typical example of the collapse of the QTE system, so that players call it QTE's Wrath.

At the same time, with the development of the game and the improvement of technical power, the gameplay of QTE has gradually become outdated, including many changes in the previous "New God of War".

Although there are still qte elements, they are no longer the main ones.

But although QTE has many flaws in its mechanism, it also has merit, which is to give players a more immersive experience, especially with VR platforms.

The right QTE will make the game experience more exciting.

So Chen Xu chose to keep the qte mechanism in the Greek trilogy of "God of War".

However, it is not expressed in the way of the previous life, but is retained in a more unique mode of operation.

In addition to the game content, Chen Xu has also done a lot, such as deleting a lot of unnecessary miscellaneous battles, and some unnecessary puzzle solving content.

As an ACT game, "God of War" has always had various puzzles, the main reason is that the content is not enough to solve puzzles.

Including the "New God of War" that defeated "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" in the previous life.

Solving puzzles also makes the brains of many players hurt, especially most of the puzzle solving is to see the eyesight, a bell will hurt the brains of many players who are tormented.

As a refreshing and violent game, the cumbersome puzzle solving will make the player feel like a play.

After all, "God of War" is not a treasure hunt adventure game like "Uncharted".

At least in terms of the sense of substitution, letting Master Kui solve the mystery definitely does not have the stimulation of killing all kinds of huge monsters and gods.

Therefore, in the game, in addition to some large-scale scenes, there are also murderous traps where the gods are located. For example, Chen Xu, who was rushing to push boxes, also chose to play down.

Of course, the small game of squeezing the red soul with circles, forks, squares and triangles, as a buffer flavor after the extreme violent experience, is still necessary for the young Kui Ye.

According to the prompt of QTE in the system, Zhang Yi quickly completed it.

I saw that the muscles of Lord Kui began to tremble in the game, and then in Kratos's roar, his hands directly pressed against Hydra's upper and lower jaws, and then slammed violently against the wall of the cabin next to him.

Then Kratos jumped up, the chain blade in his hand inserted directly into the center of Hydra's head.

Then, the chain Kratos of the chain blade reverberated in the air, and the other end of the chain blade pierced into Hydra's eyes.

Blood spurted out from the wound on Hydra's head like a rain of blood.

The health bar of the BOSS in the game is also reduced by one-third.

Hydra, who was hit so hard, let out a painful roar, one eye had been blasted by Kratos' chain blade, and the other eye was staring at Kratos.

With a roar, Hydra's head shook violently, and blood spurted out of the wound again.

This heavy blow directly made Hydra also a little confused, and at the same time, she was afraid, and she shrank back suddenly.

And Kratos was in hot pursuit, and more monsters and monsters appeared along the way, but the same thing was turned into ashes under Kratos' chain blade.

Looking at the picture of blood splashing, Zhang Yi had only one thought: It's so cool!

"It's so cool to explode!"

After chasing him all the way to the deck behind the ship, he entered the QTE stage after a hearty battle and killed Hydra again. Zhang Yi only felt that the whole person was hearty.

Carefree operation, extremely violent action, and a perfect sense of punch to the flesh.

With the exciting background music, the entire game's combat experience is as epic.

And this is just the beginning. As Zhang Yi continued to move forward, he experienced more exciting scenes, and also learned powerful magic by talking with Poseidon.

Continuing to explore back, Kratos came to the middle of the ship.

There are various enemies here, and the remaining heads of Hydra are constantly attacking the crew.

Compared with Hydra's huge head, Kratos can be said to be extremely small.

But in the real fight, Kratos, who looks very small, is simply beating Hydra.

It's a bit similar to the previous head boss battle.

It's just that this time I have to hit 3 heads in a row, two small heads and one big head.

And the big head in the middle will resurrect the small head next to it.

So it is necessary to use the environment props in the game to anchor Hydra's head on the deck.

After killing the two small heads, Kratos climbed to the top of the mast and used Poseidon's magic to defeat Hydra.

At the same time, the Chaos Blade, which was burning with flames, penetrated Hydra's head, and then slammed its head into the mast.

Then came a series of blockbuster QTE content.

Use the mast on the ship to directly penetrate Hydra's head.

Along with Hydra's painful struggle and the spurting of blood from the wound, Hydra kept making a painful neigh.

But against Kratos, it's all in vain.

In the end, with the passage of life, Hydra died completely.

At this time, there was a cry for help in Hydra's throat.

Kratos got into Hydra's mouth and found the captain of the ship who had been swallowed before.

"Thank you, thank God, fortunately you came to save me!"

The captain, who was swallowed by Hydra before, was still alive at this time. When Kratos pulled him up, he was relieved and thanked quickly.

"Why are you being polite to me?" Zhang Yi looked at the captain in front of him but didn't care much.

A crew member had talked to him earlier and was shot dead within two seconds.

In addition, the captain looked like a model of a passerby, Zhang Yi thought that he was probably a tool NPC, and he would definitely have no role in the future.

However, just when Zhang Yi thought that Kratos would pull the captain up, he saw Kratos just staring at the captain blankly, holding the golden key on his chest.

'I didn't come to save you. ’

Words without any emotion came out of Kratos' mouth, and he roughly tore off the key on the captain's chest.

Kratos let go and watched him fall into Hydra's stomach.

At this time, Zhang Yi's eyes widened.

According to the general story, shouldn't Kratos rescue the captain?

It was just a gesture of effort anyway, and the captain handed the key to Kratos in return.

But this is directly grabbed, ignoring the other party's life and death?

Anti-hero game protagonist?

Great villain Kratos! ?
