Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Although "Fireworks" is a VR game, the game flow and volume are not large, and there are no elements to collect in the middle.

It's basically a pure thread game, and it only takes about three or four hours to play down the line.

But for domestic players, the topic of this game has generated a lot of heat.

The most important point is the cause of the tragedy in the game and the theme of the game itself.

Feudal superstition seems very far away, but it is actually not far away from players.

Today, we can still see all kinds of people who were deceived by feudal superstition, or some tragedies that happened.

However, with more and more players clearing "Fireworks".

Compared with the unanimous praise at the beginning, there are some different topics about this game gradually.

That is about the horror part. After all, although the content of "Fireworks" is good, it is still a horror game after all.

Although the Chinese-style horror atmosphere is excellent, there is nothing scary in the whole game, which makes many players who are running to enjoy a wave of frightening feasts a little disappointed.

On the game community forum, many players are also discussing in this section.

‘I feel that although the plot narrative of “Fireworks” is very good, especially the transformation of various scenes in the game is also very good, but as a horror game, it should not be qualified, right? ’

‘Yeah, except for a bit of **** at the beginning, but the overall pattern doesn’t feel too scary. ’

‘Fireworks is pretty good in terms of storytelling and metaphorical depth, but it’s still a bit worse as a horror game. ’

'Yes, yes, and also in terms of gameplay, although the various puzzle-solving designs match the plot scenes very well, it basically feels like a lubricant. ’

‘Actually, I feel that Fireworks might be better if it wasn’t made into a horror game. ’

Many players are conducting various evaluations online.

However, most of these evaluations come from overseas.

After all, the content of "Fireworks" itself is a bit Chinese. Even if the game itself has been translated and annotated, it is still difficult for most people who don't understand Chinese funerals to feel the atmosphere. Feel the horror.

At most, it is through the paper figures and the more uncomfortable pictures of the dark environment that people can feel fear.

This is why most mainstream horror films and TVs focus on visual effects.

Because this is the most intuitive, and does not require the audience to understand the culture and connotation behind it, it is also the type with the lowest threshold.

And with the help of "Fireworks", the topic of discussion among many players has also risen from this game to this type of horror game.

'It's hard for a horror game to give people a terrifying feeling, of course that kind of frightening horror doesn't count. ’

'That's right, even Chen Xu is no exception. The previous "Resident Evil: The Village" was just fine with puppets, but in the end, the popularity of the eldest lady went beyond the element of horror. ’

‘Am I the only one who thinks the village is good? The feeling of oppression of fear in the front, Ethan's concern for his daughter and concern for his wife in the back are very touching. ’

‘Moving is touching, but there are still too few horror elements. ’

‘There is no way that horror games are like this, but as a fan of horror games, I really miss the days of playing “Escape”. ’

"Speaking of "Escape", I think of a game that has never been released before. Who still remembers the demo that Nebula Games launched before Universal VR was launched? ’

"Silent Hill PT"? When you said that, I also remembered it. Have you noticed that there seem to be a lot of deja-vu points in "Fireworks" that are familiar with PT? Isn't that section of the convenience store alley the infinite corridor? And the protagonist enters another world and sees things that ordinary people can't see. Isn't this the inner world? ’

'After the identification, the elder brother upstairs is definitely not a Chinese! ’

'Sturdy +1, although what you say is a bit similar, but that's called a ghost hitting the wall! Talk to the psychic! Two things are good! ’

'Don't talk so much, I'll ask you if you look like it! ’

‘It would be great if Silent Hill PT could be made into a full version and released, currently only the abridged version on the PC is played. ’

Many online players who like horror games are talking about this topic.

Chatting and chatting, the big guys also talked about the demo that Nebula Games had conducted the Universal VR test.

Because the appearance of "Silent Hill PT" at that time really scared a group of players, and the setting of the infinite corridor has affected many later horror games.

Until now, there are still many horror games that still use some of the settings in "Silent Hill PT", such as the combination of the infinite corridor and the back kill in the same scene.

Now from the discussion of fireworks to horror games, some horror game lovers have also thought of the game "Silent Hill PT".

And the voices of the players are getting louder and louder. Of course, how many of them are players who eat melons and make fun of them is unknown.

There are even many players of various Aite Chen Xu.

Until a message was released from the silent official blog, all the players were silent for a while, as if the Silent Warlock in DOTA had made a big move.

On Chen Xu's official blog, there is a message just sent out.

The content of the message is also very simple, with only a few short sentences.

'The clearance rate of the VR version of "Escape" so far is 11.2%, the clearance rate of the VR version of "Resident Evil" is 22%, and the clearance rate of "Resident Evil: Village" is 41.9%'

'Players who have cleared all three games can register on the Nebula game platform. After collecting 1.5 million in two weeks, IPs that meet your requirements will be launched. ’

Simple and clear official blog, there are two pictures below.

The first concept map, above is a hazy fog, and the three words "Silent Hill" can be vaguely seen in the fog.

As for the second picture, it is a discount message, and I glanced at the discount attempt.

There is no doubt about the fracture, but all the players of the fractured object were silent for a while. "Escape", "Resident Evil" and "Resident Evil: Village" have everything from single to bundled gift packages.

Is Mr. Chen waiting here? How did this play you?

Many players looked at Chen Xu's official blog with a very strange feeling.

In fact, this kind of petition is not uncommon in the game circle. This behavior is simply crowdfunding.

Some manufacturers with insufficient economic strength will carry out similar activities.

Draw a big cake first, and fool the players into paying.

However, in the parallel world, this is basically limited to some niche games, or the kind of designers who have started their own business but are well-known in the industry.

As for the previous "Star Citizen", from crowdfunding to selling ships, it has even become a business model. The progress is announced every month and then the ships are sold. It makes people feel that this game is about to become a Ponzi scheme in the game crowdfunding world. It hasn't appeared yet.

Therefore, Chen Xu's official blog has shocked many players.

‘Mr. Chen, what kind of operation is this! ? ’

'Fuck, Mr. Chen is really trying to play? ’

‘So don’t just talk about your expectations, at least take some action and go to the Nebula game platform to register! 1.5 million should not be difficult, right? ! ’

‘Not difficult? 233333, brother, look at my platform inventory, the play time of "Escape" is 6 minutes, and the play time of "Resident Evil" is 11 minutes. Do you think I meet the conditions? ’

'That's right, I strongly urge President Chen to change the conditions. Why do I have to clear customs before I can participate?' Can't participate in the game without clearing the game? ’

‘That’s right, Mr. Chen, this kind of discrimination is unacceptable! You are dividing our player group, why should we clear the game after buying the game! ? ’

‘By the way, didn’t you notice something? Why is the customs clearance rate in the village so high? The doll pass is hell! ’

'Brother upstairs, although the doll pass is hell, the eldest lady is really awesome! ’

‘Mr. Chen has a kind of opening a MOD editor, let me turn all the monsters in the game into mature big sisters, I will give you the solution in minutes! ’

‘Brother, can your body handle it? ’

'Brother Meng, the number of people registered on the Nebula game platform has exceeded 30,000 at present, the old buddies who have cleared the game should go to register, and the players who have not cleared the game should quickly clear the customs! ’

'Clearance? It's impossible to pass the level in this life. I just tried it, and I've pissed! ’

With the release of Chen Xu's official blog, many players who love horror games and have cleared the three games have logged on to the Nebula game platform to register, and at the same time, they have invited friends and partners to canvass votes in major community forums.

And some players who are very interested in this event and also have "Escape" and "Resident Evil" in their own inventory, but who have not cleared the level before, are preparing to enter the game at this time to experience it.

After all, in the eyes of many players, it has been so many years, both "Escape" and "Resident Evil" are games from many years ago.

As Lu Meng once said, Shibie should be treated with admiration for three days.

Now they are no longer Wuxia Amon.

Is this even scary? Is the VR version amazing?

So these players who bought the game but didn't dare to play it, downloaded these two games again.

Then he opened the door of the mental hospital and wandered around the farm entrance, looking at the dark sky and the eerie atmosphere.

These players quickly made a decision.

Take care my friend, I'll say goodbye first!

Even after so many years, should I be scared to pee or be scared to pee!

It's up to those real warriors to be responsible for registering the crowd.

They bought the game and thought it had been supported.
