Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

In addition to the original "Silent Hill" story, many players are also studying various deeper things in the game.

Because more and more game content is disclosed.

Players also found that the content of the game was much deeper than they thought.

There is also a lot of content related to religion, occultism and psychology.

An excellent horror game that always makes people feel less terrifying after customs clearance.

Many players who have cleared Silent Hill have called Silent Hill the best horror game they have ever played.

It may seem that Silent Hill may not be the scariest horror game, but it is the most depressing horror game.

The music, plot and atmosphere in the game make many players feel that this is the real top horror game.

From start to finish, the element of 'scare' is never used in Silent Hill.

Open the door to kill, turn back to kill, and suddenly a grimace pops up. This kind of operation can be said to be completely absent in "Silent Hill".

There's even a radio in the game that can make a noise when encountering a monster, alerting the player that a monster is about to be encountered.

To know that wanting to scare the player is actually a very easy, very simple thing.

For example, arrange a plot in front of it, let the player focus on this matter, and finally release a terrifying grimace.

This is definitely something that 90% of players can get.

However, such a design has no technical content at all.

Not to mention the designer of horror games, even a player who has played more horror games can arrange countless scenes of this kind of fright.

Therefore, in "Silent Hill", the whole process does not use this kind of sudden shock, but uses the fog, the environment and sound effects, but it makes people feel an extremely depressing atmosphere, which amazes many players.

Of course, no matter how ingenious the design, how powerful the content and depth, how much artistic value it has.

But there is one thing that cannot be denied.

That is, "Silent Hill" has indeed brought endless psychological shadows to many players.

Many players originally ran for the first 10,000 reward places.

As a result, these players think too much.

Because on the first day, this place has already come out.

In addition, there are some players who are eager to try new things, and then prepare to slowly clear the customs within the limit, and they also feel that they have collapsed.

Although I didn't think about the 10,000 places at first, I just wanted to spend a free prostitute with "Silent Hill" and exchange coupons.

But players with this idea are basically players who don't play horror games very much, but they think they are more daring.

So into the game, these players also crashed.

With such a big fog and such a strange monster, it is necessary to find clues in each level to solve the mystery.

Although some people on the Internet have integrated the game's strategy, players do not need to use their brains to solve the puzzles and break the level.

But this is a horror game!

Even if they follow the strategy, they still experience the atmosphere in the game.

This is hard to top.

In the end, he gave up the choice of video clearance, which not only saved his life, but also knew the plot of the game.

Or bite the bullet and clear the game so that you don't lose, and by the way, experience the game plot from your own perspective.

This has become a very confusing thing for players.

………………

Compared to the players, Chen Xu is quite happy now.

Inside Nebula Games' office, Chen Xu smiled slightly at the statistics.

"Sure enough, this kind of prize-winning activity has greatly improved the game's clearance rate! The 38% clearance rate of the VR version is a new high for horror games!"

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Qin Yi and others next to him showed speechless expressions.

What is meant by human beings for wealth and birds for food and death?

The performance of Silent Hill speaks volumes.

Players trade their lives for games, isn't this what players deserve?

As a horror game "Silent Hill", the topic of heat is still very good.

In addition to the activities of the Nebula game itself.

That is, Silent Hill itself is also a game suitable for live broadcast.

It can be counted as a live game.

The so-called live game means that players can feel the fun just by watching. Although the fun may be different from the person who plays it, it is also a kind of fun.

For example, soul games and horror games, as well as games such as swinging a sledgehammer, can be said to be a very standard type of live broadcast game.

Players enjoy the appearance of the anchor being abused and collapsed by watching the live broadcast, and then reap the happiness.

Secondly, "Uncharted" and "The Last Survivor" also have some attributes in it, because players can fully appreciate the excellent plot and various big scenes as a serialized TV series or big movie.

On the contrary, it is not suitable for live broadcasts such as "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" and "The Witcher: Wild Hunt".

In fact, most open world games are like this.

Because of these games, players need to feel the openness and free play in the game themselves, and the span between the plot and the play is long.

If you look at it, you can't feel the core point of the game at all.

………………

In the Nebula game rest area, Chen Xu chatted with Qin Yi and others.

Such as bonuses sent to players.

After all, the sales of this "Silent Hill" have even exceeded the previous highest "Resident Evil: Village".

Even compared with other first-line masterpieces of Nebula Games, it is not far behind.

But it's just a number. After all, it's drawn up by reward activities, so it doesn't have much reference value. Unless it's a pure torture game, it can basically rely on this kind of welfare activity to pull up the value.

"By the way, President Chen, have you read the posts discussed by players in the official community?" Qin Yi asked Chen Xu suddenly after thinking of something.

"Huh? What?" Hearing Qin Yi's words, Chen Xu was a little curious.

"It was someone who analyzed the inside and outside world in Silent Hill." Qin Yi took out his mobile phone from his pocket and clicked on the post.

Taking the mobile phone from Qin Yi's hand, Chen Xu glanced at it and was speechless.

The content of the post, various distances even held the previous Nebula game " "

"So you are indecisive about quantum mechanics?" Chen Xu shook his head gently.

It looks very reliable, but "Silent Hill" has nothing to do with quantum mechanics.

Religion, occult, and psychology, but nothing to do with quantum mechanics.

Including the mysterious power of Silent Hill, and Maria, who was born as she wished, has nothing to do with this.

Seriously, Silent Hill is more about Freudian psychophilosophy.

"But Mr. Chen, can I make a small suggestion?" Ruan Ningxue, who was next to him, couldn't help but speak.

"Huh?" Chen Xu looked sideways.

"Can you add some human aesthetics to the art of the new projects in the future!" Ruan Ningxue strongly condemned.

In the games produced by Nebula Games in the past two years, the most frustrating place for her is the monster design in the game.

"The Witcher: Wild Hunt", "Resident Evil: Village", etc., including the recently launched "DOTA" and "God of War", although there are many beautiful characters.

But in general, there are still some curious ones. Until the appearance of "Silent Hill", the strangeness of the monsters in it can be said to be close to the previous "Curse of Bloodborne".

Although not all the work is on her body, but the more critical points are in her hands, and these key points are the content that makes the SAN value go straight.

To put it bluntly, during the development of "Silent Hill", she fell into a sleep crisis.

"Cough, next time." Hearing Ruan Ningxue's words, Chen Xu coughed twice.

"But in the past two years, the trend of traditional RPGs seems to be picking up again." Meng Zuo, who was next to him, couldn't help but interject, and in his hand was a list of recent game sales.

It's been a while since "God of War" was launched. In addition, "Silent Hill" has just been released, and "Fireworks" can only be regarded as a small-scale game. If the price is this one, it will be a loss to sell 100 copies to be the best of others. so did not board.

However, compared with previous years, the proportion of traditional RPG types has gradually increased.

"The cost of VR-side development is gradually decreasing, and traditional RPGs have an advantage for the VR-side, focusing on turn-based gameplay and the core of the plot, so that players can have a stronger sense of substitution, compared to the more open action-oriented The new RPG based on elements is more beneficial to some manufacturers with insufficient technology and funds." Chen Xu is not unconcerned about this, he understands how this trend came.

"But when it comes to traditional RPGs, I have a good idea." Chen Xu thought of something and smiled.

"Huh? President Chen, what do you think?" Everyone was curious.

"You'll know when the time comes." Chen Xu sold out.

But after finishing speaking, Chen Xu, who was sitting on the sofa, was also a little helpless and spread his hands when he saw a group of people staring at him.

"It's just a preliminary idea. I don't know if you've heard it before. The end of science is theology. Although it's just a fallacy, don't you think it's cool as an art theme style for the game?"

"In a scientific model, it shows a fantastic world, mechas and gods."

"At the same time, the reason, essence and soul in Socrates' philosophy are the main cores, which triggers the background of the game's story."

"Who am I, where do I come from, and where do I go? Is it because I think, therefore I am, or the perception of others that leads to my existence."

"It can be said that this is a story about the world, the universe and the origin of the self." Chen Xu said slowly while looking at the crowd.

Confused, still confused.

Ruan Ningxue, Yang Xin, Meng Zuo, Qin Yi and the others looked at Chen Xu with bewildered expressions.

They understood every word, but together they were completely confused.

Mr. Chen, can you speak human words?

"Mr. Chen, can you explain it in words we can understand?" Yang Xin said after a long while.

"Okay, if you have to say it like this, then this is a retro kingly and **** story of a boy who met a girl, and then bravely ran forward to save the world." Hearing Yang Xin's words, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh.

What does he have to explain like this? This force suddenly fell from the cloud to the bottom!
