Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

There are not a few players like Song Ren.

Many loyal old players of the Soul series entered the world of Eldun's ring for the first time, thinking in their hearts that with their own technology, is it not easy to make a breakthrough in this world?

But the reality soon brought a beating, making them feel as if they had returned to the feeling they had when they first came into contact with soul-based games.

The big tree guard at the beginning directly shattered the hearts and hearts of countless players.

And this is just the beginning. Unlike "Curse of Blood", "Sekiro" and "Dark Soul", the threads are basically a straight line.

"Ayrden Circle" is more inclined to the feeling of the prequel to Dark Souls. As an open world "Ayrdon Circle" players can go anywhere they can.

Of course, the consequences of this are very tragic.

Especially in the game, there are all kinds of unimaginable malice.

For example, the trap treasure chest that made Song Ren cry. Who would have thought that this treasure chest could actually send the player to an area in the later stage of the map?

Moreover, in this area, players attacked with weapons that have not been strengthened initially, which is basically equivalent to scraping.

Even after being teleported, it cannot be teleported away.

It can be said that basically 99% of players who found this treasure chest in the ruins of Dragon Breath will be hit.

The only thing that comforts players is that compared to "Bloodborne" and "Dark Souls", "Elden's Circle" has a special mechanism in the game, that is, shaking people!

In addition to some specific NPC helpers who can ask for help to help players fight against BOSS, there is also a special system mechanism in the game, that is: ashes.

In the game, players can obtain various ashes that can be adjusted, and use the bell that calls the soul to call out various soul helpers.

With these ashes, players can even achieve more and less.

For some handicapped rookie players, this is simply their lucky star!

Although it is not the kind that is completely crushed, in Chen Xu's design, the AI ​​performance of the BOSS and the strength of the ashes will not affect the balance too much.

But the key point is that there is a comparison.

"Sure enough! As the fader played by the player, this is a proper righteous person!"

In front of the gate of Stonewell City, Song Ren couldn't help but sighed as he looked at the evil omen demon being attacked by the jellyfish and the magician Roger, who was summoned at the gate.

In those martial arts TV dramas he watched before, the most memorable thing for him was the sentence shouted out by the hero of the righteous way: What are the morals and morals of this kind of evil demon? Everyone shoulder to shoulder!

Now he can finally experience that feeling.

He strayed into the prison tunnel from the ruins of Dragon Breath, and he escaped from it after abolishing the Nine Bulls and Two Tigers.

God knows what happened to him along the way.

In the prison tunnel, he was beaten by the miners, and by the foreman Pipi Shrimp.

After leaving the mine, he wanted to take a look at the outside world.

As a result, an abandoned magic academy has all kinds of enemies who can master magicians, ranging from long-range attacks, melee attacks, and even long-range attacks. It can be said that they are all available, so that he knows what it is like to be beaten by a group.

And the land named Gayled is full of countless malice. In this land contaminated by scarlet corruption, in addition to living corpses, all kinds of weird bugs, scarlet Corruption-infected mutant creatures, big mice and big crows with red light in their eyes, as for the respected rot knights in the scarlet corruption pool, they are two words: horror.

On this piece of land, Song Ren fully felt what a weak chicken was.

Not to mention the BOSS, as long as it is a monster, he can be tortured with blood.

So after teleporting back to Nimgford, Song Ren honestly set off towards Stoneville City.

And here, he also encountered the second BOSS in the real sense of the game: the evil omen ghost.

Big crutches, fast and slow knives, it's hard to reflect.

The original big tree guard, he felt that it was difficult enough.

But this evil omen, the ghost, made him understand what it means to be strong and strong.

The only thing that makes him gratified is that he can play more and less in the game.

Help your NPC teammates, and the ashes that can summon Shakers.

The jellyfish given to him by a plot NPC like Little Red Riding Hood before is matched with the magician Roger.

Straight to justice three-on-one.

But even though it was a three-on-one justice, Song Ren still felt that it was difficult.

The most important point is that this justice is three-on-one. He feels that the ashes and teammates he summoned are particularly stupid.

As the BOSS, the evil omen ghost is quite flexible and clever.

"No! You are a magician! Do you know what a magician is? Why are you going up to fight with the boss!? What will I do with my little jellyfish if you die!?"

He resurrected again, summoned the magician Roger, just after entering the door, he looked like a desperate Saburo, rushed to the side of the evil omen, and then got up and got up with a cane. Roger, who rushed over again, this moment Song Ren Finally I couldn't help but complain.

Three-on-one justice does sound pretty good.

But the key is that this Roger is clearly staring at the title of a magician, but he has to fight against the evil omen.

As a magician, in addition to seeing him put a handsome sword array on top of his head, Song Ren fought the evil omens and ghosts closely all the way.

Although there are helpers, the rhythm of this battle is completely chaotic.

This part Song Ren didn't know about was that Chen Xu had changed a lot of the combat system for the previous life's "Eldon's Circle".

In the previous life, the battle system of Aerdun's Ring, what made players complain the most was the frequent application of reading instructions and the too strong ashes hatred mechanism.

The mode of reading the instructions makes the bosses all become a bit of a dung monster. The boss's hand is raised and placed there. If you don't attack him, you will attack, and if you don't roll, he will not move.

This means that if you react, there is a high probability of eating an attack, which can be said to make the monster and the player brainless.

At the same time, the hatred mechanism of the ashes and the thick blood volume allow monsters to keep staring at the ashes and ignore the players next to them.

Therefore, in the previous life's "Eldon's Circle", the curve with or without the difficulty of the younger brother does not mean that it is reduced from the so-called 100 to 90, but directly from 100 to 50.

And now for the combat system of "Eldun's Circle", Chen Xu can be said to be painstaking.

In the case of recruiting younger brother NPCs and ashes helpers, the AI ​​of BOSS will be significantly improved, and the moves will be more chaotic.

In the single-player mode, the boss will not read instructions without a brain, and more let the player see the tricks and dismantle the tricks, and respond to the countermeasures according to the raised hand of the boss's attack, just like the hunting boss battle in "Monster Hunter: World".

If you are familiar with the rules of boss moves, without NPCs and younger brothers, it will be more efficient and simpler.

For the first time, with the help of the younger brother and the NPC, the fault tolerance rate is slightly higher.

Although Song Ren felt stronger than the previous Big Tree Guard, but after fighting for more than an hour with the help of his younger brother and the jellyfish, he still managed to stab the evil omen to death with the halberd in his hand.

"I am indeed a fader full of justice!"

Seeing the evil omen ghost who still didn't forget to speak ruthlessly after his tragic death, Song Ren couldn't help sighing when he thought of the heroic sacrifice of the magician and the jellyfish brother.

Moral support from many, scant support.

Why does he have teammates, but this evil omen ghost like an empty nester doesn't?

Because he is a fader full of justice!
