Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

After the online press conference, inside Nebula Games, Chen Xu and his team carried out the development of "Aerdun's Circle" little by little.

Compared with the previous life "Elden's Circle", in addition to balancing some values, such as the famous knife Yueyin, the ashes of the bionic teardrop, and some special bugs, such as the rock ball Kawumen kills the BOSS, and a more complete supplement In addition to the whole branch plot, everyone's great effort is actually placed on the guide of the game.

Exploration is the core of soul-based games, but as the first game in the open world designed by FS, there are still many things that have not been designed.

For example, the prop production system in the game, and the use of perfume bottles, even many players may not understand what these things can do.

And a lot of materials need to be collected in the wild, the original meaning is obviously to hope that players can use this to explore the wild.

But the obvious return on revenue makes players have no desire to explore at all.

Some are also to find all kinds of tunnels and dungeons hidden in the corners of the map. As for the pure field to find materials, most players basically don't look at them.

In addition, additional crafting manuals need to be collected specially, which directly leads to prop making and perfume bottles. These two are used as auxiliary systems for the combat system, and can even make various weapons add points to the auxiliary system to become stronger. Many players have never been in contact with it.

The most direct point that causes this is the unequal feeling of gain and return to players.

On the one hand, the game has specially made it a built-in system, hoping that players will be exposed to this aspect of the gameplay.

On the other hand, various production manuals are hidden in various corners of the map for players to unlock, but only a small number of props are useful, and most props feel a little tasteless to players, which creates a production system. of embarrassment.

After all, this thing is not like amulet, equipment and strengthening stone bell beads, you can directly see the effect and benefits.

As for the task recording tool that most ARPGs have, Chen Xu is not going to join this one.

After all, in soul-based games, sideline exploration is a very important characteristic core element.

If it is made into an ordinary ARPG that clearly tells you where to find something and where to kill a monster, it will lose its charm.

………………

For many players, this period of time can be said to be like a year.

Although major manufacturers have also made frequent hits during this period, for more players, there is no doubt that they are looking forward to only one, and that is what Nebula Games has previously announced: Ayrden's Ring.

After all, the content is really attractive, open world, ARPG, magical epic plot, rich weapons and equipment, and certain decryption elements.

The combination of these makes them look forward to it just by thinking about it.

The only pity is that apart from the original scene paintings and a game name, there is no news about it now.

"I don't know, what exactly is this "Elden Circle"!"

"Life is like a year, I feel like I'm dying!"

"That's right, until now, for such a long time, President Chen still hasn't released any news!"

"In other words, I don't know what the gameplay will be like, similar to "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim"?"

"It should be, after all, hasn't Mr. Chen introduced the genre of games?"

"That's not necessarily true. I think it may be like "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", but with a richer combat system."

"Maybe it's Zelda with a magical background?"

Players have their own ideas. After all, there is no news about "Ayrden's Circle" on these websites at all. What can you make up with your brain alone?

………………

And just as players were looking forward to it, the official promotional video for "Ayrden's Circle" has finally arrived.

Players who have been looking forward to this, and concerned about it, can't wait to click in the first time.

They really want to see what kind of new surprises Chen Xu will bring you this time?

The first thing that appeared on the screen was the logos of Nebula Games and Ayrden Circle.

Then a gentle female voice sounded.

'That was a long time ago...'

'But for me, it's still there'

Sitting cross-legged in the dark, the girl who couldn't see her face but had four hands slowly said.

'In the night with the icy fog...'

'Death Rune was stolen...'

In the forest at night, a group of black knights galloped.

The next moment came the sound of a sword piercing into the body.

"In [Gold] Godwin became the first demigod to die, maybe it was Queen Malika who fell into a frenzy..."

In the darkness, a dead man was lying there, blood was flowing from the wound like a centipede, but under the body of the skin, there seemed to be a strange creature like an egg that kept squirming and came to his eye socket.

The next second, the closed eyes opened, and a strange black mucus wafted out of them.

'About the Shattered War, it's all a cloud of fog... Who and for what purpose shattered the Ring of Eldon? ’

In the magnificent palace, there are several thrones, and an old man like a monster put down the crown and walked towards the entrance of the palace with a sharp blade.

Under the golden tree, two teams of men and horses in the magnificent royal city fought each other.

‘For what purpose do you demigods go to war? ’

The next second came to the battlefield under the setting sun, the general with two big swords standing beside the sea of ​​​​blood on the mountain of corpses confronted a female soldier in battle armor.

"[Broken Star Hero] General Ratan"

'[Mikaela's Blade] Remnant Malenia'

"The most powerful ones fight to the last moment..."

On the battlefield, Valkyrie and Broken Star fought each other.

But compared to the broken star that shatters the stars, the Valkyrie is still slightly inferior. After fighting several times, she was cut off by the broken star sword in Ratan's hand.

'Yet...no one wins'

The Valkyrie, who was kneeling on the ground, inserted the sharp blade into her chest, the scarlet blood from the wound flowed out in the next second, and a huge blood-colored lotus flower bloomed behind her, and the scarlet power swept the entire continent centered on the battlefield.

'To this day, the world is still in vain...waiting for the king of Eldon to appear'

'Or...you're that person? ’

The camera slowly rose, one eye was closed, and the extremely beautiful girl looked at the camera calmly.

The words fell, and the screen fell into darkness.

In "Ayrden's Circle", the game's LOGO appears in the center.

 …

After watching the entire promotional video, the first reaction of many players is that the Nebula Game CG animation field is here again!

Exquisite pictures, cool storyboards, and special effects make the entire promotional film extremely gorgeous.

Many people are very excited just watching it.

But after getting excited and calming down.

Some old players of Nebula games immediately realized that something was wrong.

How does the style of this promo look a little familiar with a certain type of game under its banner?
