Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

In the office of Nebula Games, Chen Xu was surrounded by Yang Xin, Ruan Ningxue, and Qin Yi, and everyone looked at Chen him in astonishment.

After a long time, Yang Xin was the first to speak: "Mr. Chen, do you really want to continue to be Silent Hill?"

For the next project, in fact, the team has been chatting all the time, but everyone really didn't expect Chen Xu to make such a promise to the players.

As for the registration quota, the players were having a good time, but for Yang Xin and the others, they knew very well that this was not a problem at all.

It looks like a lot of lists, but don't forget the user base of Nebula Games, there is no saying that it can't be completed, only how fast it can be completed.

Obviously this Silent Hill is a foregone conclusion, but that's the game.

Everyone thought of the original DEMO. It must be known that that version was used to test the pressure valve and safety of the VR game warehouse. Whether it was color, sound effects, interaction, and psychological level settings, all aspects were full.

It is definitely an existence that can scare people into the urine. As for the later PC version, it is actually a reduced material version.

If he really wanted to follow this model, Yang Xin was very worried about whether the player's psychology could bear it. He was afraid that if he didn't play the game for ten minutes, he would call the police once.

Listening to the concerns expressed by everyone, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, how can it be so exaggerated? I'm not a bad person."

After a pause, Chen Xu continued: "This Silent Hill will be a separate story. As for the direction of the story... Well, you can understand it as a story about the ethics of urban love."

Recalling the plot of the game, Chen Xu posted a few tags.

On the other hand, Ruan Ningxue, Yang Xin and the others were completely speechless.

God is such an urban love ethics! You ask players to see if they believe it?

"When you read the story, you will understand that every word I said is the truth." Looking at the expressions of everyone, Chen Xu sighed with emotion.

Heaven and earth can learn, he is not a lie.

These are the contents shown in the game!

It might just be a little bit different from what ordinary people think.

…………

Regarding the joint petition activity, although Chen Xu said that there will be a period of time left for the players, it can be done with the efforts of the huge base of players.

Only on the third day, the number of people has been met.

Of course, no matter whether these co-named players are really looking forward to a horror game that can scare them, or whether they are simply watching the fun is not a big deal.

Anyway, not only did the conditions meet the standard, but on the deadline day, the actual data was three times higher than those who asked to register.

These players were also not disappointed. On the day the petition ended, the official blog of Nebula Games reprinted this data, and to the surprise of all players, a mysterious new event was also prepared.

The new event can be said to be full of benefits if you just look at the rewards.

There are three rewards in total.

First, anyone who has experienced the game for more than 120 minutes can get a CDKEY that can be given to friends. Of course, players who use the KEY later cannot participate in the event.

The second one is more simple and rude. All players who have cleared Silent Hill, including those who use CDKEY, can choose to buy a Nebula game exchange coupon priced at 999 yuan, which can be redeemed for any two first-class games under Nebula Games. Fang games include subsequent new games and are valid for two years.

The third is the quota event. In each different map scene in the game, a shard will be randomly generated. The first 10,000 players who have collected all shards will receive 1,000 game coins from the Nebula game platform, which can be used to purchase any game within the platform.

Of these three awards, the first two are participatory awards, and everyone can achieve it if they want to.

After watching this event of Nebula Games, many players were surprised for a while, especially players who had no interest in horror games before. At this time, they were also a little moved.

The third reward quota event, although the rewards are even more generous, the limited number of places is simply exchanging life for money.

But this first one is different from the second one. It is a free gift CDKEY to friends to promote the cultivation of feelings with basic friends.

And there are Nebula game exchange coupons after customs clearance, although the price is 999 yuan.

But for the first-party VR of the two Nebula games, it's definitely worth the money.

If one player buys one, it means that Mr. Chen loses several hundred dollars, and if ten million players buy one, he loses several billions. This is simply a Nebula loss coupon!

Although it is said that you have to clear "Silent Hill" to get it, isn't it a horror game?

The big deal is to turn off the sound and play, so that there is not only the impact of the screen?

Or grit your teeth and stick to the past.

And the game buy one get one free, which is equivalent to prostitution.

Buying a redemption voucher directly earns Mr. Chen several hundred yuan. If this goes on, Mr. Chen will have to take the bus because of the loss.

Many players are enthusiastically discussing the activities related to "Silent Hill", although some players call on everyone not to be blind, think about who Mr. Chen is, and think about "Silent Hill" under what circumstances Mr. Chen Just said it was launched.

But this faint voice was drowned out in the discourse of the public discussion.

 …

In the Nebula Game Office, watching the discussions of online players, Chen Xu was overjoyed.

He can't wait to see the kind of emotion that players experience when they experience this game.

Regarding "Silent Hill", it is a classic series in the past life.

The first generation set the tone of the atmosphere, the second generation is the pinnacle of plot and music, especially the Promise, one of the ending theme songs of Akira Yamaoka's score, is regarded as a classic by many players, and the third generation is the gameplay. The peak, and the plot is also the only work in the series that is not independent of characters but connects a generation. As for the quality of the subsequent 4 and 5, it can be said that the quality has plummeted.

Developed by Chen Xu, it is mainly based on the plot of the second generation, and at the same time, it has been optimized in terms of action gameplay and perspective.

Early December, a very special day.

On the major live broadcast platforms, many viewers found the anchors in this game area, as if everyone had an appointment.

Qi Shushua chose to go live in the early morning.

And many anchors, the VR equipment they purchased seems to be the same batch of products.

All have quality problems.

Some anchors said that their VR equipment suddenly couldn't connect to the Internet for some reason.

Some anchors said that their own VR has no picture and no sound after entering the game, and some said that they can connect to the Internet, have sound and pictures, but there is no way to control it.

In short, there are various reasons. It seems that 90% of this batch of faulty VR devices are concentrated in these anchors.

At the beginning, many viewers were a little inexplicable.

However, they quickly took a look at the Nebula game platform and Chen Xu's official blog, and they understood why.

Because "Silent Hill" is online!

Although many players on the Internet have said before this, it is just a horror game and they are afraid of a hammer?

And the rewards are so rich, playing is equal to earning, and clearing the customs is equal to Mr. Chen's loss.

But hello, hello, you have to know that this is President Chen!

For timid players, the original "Escape" and "Resident Evil" will always be nightmares in their hearts.

Also for their anchors, the experience of being scared to pee at the beginning is also vivid in their minds, and as an anchor, it is impossible to escape such a horror game. After all, don't the audience just like to watch the anchor scare the urine?

But they can't escape, they can't escape, how to face this is still their choice!

Therefore, most of the anchors who live broadcast at night have adjusted their live broadcast time to the morning on this day.

At the same time, there are some more extreme ones, which also damaged a VR device, indicating that there is no way to live broadcast the VR version of "Silent Hill".

Of course, for this part of the anchors, most of the viewers are very generous, and it doesn't matter if you broadcast other programs like this first, or leave it in your VR equipment after you have repaired it and then broadcast it, they are not in a hurry.

However, there are still some who bite the bullet.

In Shark TV, in Ah Shu's live broadcast room, he coughed twice as he watched the barrage on the screen.

"What do you say? How could I be afraid? Although I haven't played horror games, I tell you it's not that I'm afraid, it's mainly that I don't have a ghost in my heart."

"How do you say it? In fact, this horror game is more about scaring yourself. If you have a ghost in your heart, you will feel scared, but we are a relatively honest person, so broadcasting horror games will be very boring, not at all. be afraid."

"It's not for you guys! It's telling the truth, positive energy! Your heart is full of sunshine, whether you're playing a horror game or doing something, you're confident."

"The old ancestors have a saying, don't do bad things on weekdays, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night! There are no bulls, ghosts and snakes in your heart, why should you be afraid?"

"Didn't Mr. Chen make a firework before? Feudal superstition, I don't believe in this stuff at all, so I'm not afraid of these horror games at all."

"Don't worry, don't worry, my live broadcast equipment is definitely not broken, it won't be the same as other anchors."

Ashu looked at the screen full of barrages. Although he was a little flustered in his heart, his expression was still very calm.

"Stop talking, let's show you games and let you see how courageous Brother Shu is."

As Shu spoke, he started the game of "Silent Hill".

Black screen.

What followed into the ears was the sound of tick, tick.

The first thing he saw was a rusty faucet dripping.

Next to the faucet, there is a stained sink and a mirror with some cracks.

Accompanied by the protagonist's panting sound, a faint soft melody sounded.

The toilet is not completely dark, but has a faint light, and unlike ordinary horror games, this light is not flashing, but it is a little dim.

"Mary, are you really… here?"

Looking at the cracked mirror, the protagonist in the game took a deep breath.

Then Ashu can move freely.

I looked around at the environment in the toilet, the walls, floors, and urinals were full of filth.

He pursed his lips and frowned involuntarily.

There are a lot of red graffiti and dark red mottled stains on the walls of the toilet. I don't know if it is paint or blood.

With the vague sound effect, he felt that his heartbeat seemed to be a little faster.
