Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

It's not many days before the Spring Festival, and Nebula Games has basically entered a more leisurely state temporarily, because the content of the Spring Festival activities has basically been prepared in advance.

For the team's side, the follow-up DLC about Marston in "Red Dead Redemption" has not yet been included in the development plan.

The main work at hand is this part of the online content.

But in fact, there are not many things to get, such as the related gameplay of the manor, which has been tested in multiple directions through the previous theme, and has basically been perfected.

The rest of the direction and activities, that is, in line with the Spring Festival discounts on the whole game.

It's New Year's Eve, it's time to have New Year's joy.

"Rainbow Six: Siege" gun skins and chests?

Discount!

Gun skins and chests for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare?

Same discount!

Who doesn't want to prepare some New Year's goods for Chinese New Year?

This is him, a very conscientious designer.

A 50% discount on a 300 game is equivalent to a loss of 150 yuan.

If a player buys a copy, he will lose 150. When he thinks about it, he feels that he is doing charity!

But there is no way to do this. After all, it is always necessary to undertake activities when you come out.

Of course, in addition to the various charity discount activities that make Nebula Games go bankrupt.

There is also an additional themed giveaway.

During the development of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", Chen Xu and his team still had some new moves.

That's the construction of some game-themed scenes.

And these themed scenes can be said to be quite collectible.

Therefore, Chen Xu's decision was not to sell, but to give.

Send a New Year's gift to players who have been supporting Nebula Games.

Anyone who spends a total of 500 yuan on the Nebula game platform will be presented with a VR theme scene of "Dark Soul" Chuanhuo Sacrificial Field.

If you spend a total of 1,000 yuan, you will be given a VR theme scene of the star base of "Monster Hunter: World".

If you spend a total of 2,000 yuan, you will be presented with a VR theme scene of Stormwind City in "Warcraft".

Of course, if the player's consumption is not reached, he also prepares a big gift.

That is the VR theme scene of Jushan Mental Hospital in "Escape"!

Of course, don't see "Escape" and feel that Nebula Games is not a human being.

This will be a special New Year's edition of the Jushan Mental Hospital VR-themed scene.

The entire mental hospital is no longer a gloomy atmosphere, but full of joyous New Year's atmosphere, when the Jushan mental hospital will be brightly lit and decorated.

As a priest, the NPC will give a New Year's speech on the stage. Uncle Fat, Doctor Scissors, and the patients in the hospital are all very happy.

Of course, since it is a special edition for the New Year, then after the New Year, you must perform your own duties.

As for these themes, it is naturally to prepare for the subsequent porting of the game originally on the PC platform.

If all the content is ported, this is not something that can be done in a day or two.

These themed scenes are mainly for players to join in the fun and let players have an idea.

By the way, there are certain playable content in these themed game scenes. This is also a test for players to see the performance of players in VR mode and related operating habits.

For example, "Dark Soul" on the PC platform, when players face BOSS, most of the time they roll around on the ground.

But if it is made into a VR mode, it is necessary to consider whether it is a more quiet first perspective or a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective.

There is also the use of the camera in the game. You can't always fight and the player rolls on the ground. The camera really allows the player to roll on the ground from the first perspective, or in the face of a huge BOSS, the player's first perspective can only be Have another pedicure?

These things can also be regarded as a prospective investigation through the content in the VR theme scene.

Of course, not all of them are ported games.

For example, the theme scene of "Warcraft" will be Stormwind City, the main city of human beings.

But Chen Xu has no plans to port "Warcraft" to VR, because RTS games are indeed not suitable for playing on VR platforms.

As for WOW's current Chen Xu, there is no plan, because if it is developed, Chen Xu will definitely not meet the level of restoring the previous life, or just make the picture more excellent on the PC platform.

As far as the current VR technology level is concerned, it is obviously still a big challenge for WOW.

Because you need to take into account the situation of enough players.

And from the perspective of map and content, WOW's engineering volume can even be said to be larger than that of "Red Dead Redemption".

After all, "Red Dead Redemption" only needs to make a few fictional states, but WOW's words involve the entire Azeroth.

Now put a VR theme of "Warcraft", just because this is a relatively heavy IP of Nebula Games, and it is also considered to accumulate some art resources and experience.

Including the follow-up, it will only be updated a little bit, and Chen Xu will only consider bringing Azeroth to a parallel world when the technology is sufficient one day.

………………

With the Spring Festival approaching, many people are very happy.

After all, it is the annual holiday, which is also the longest holiday once a year.

All were immersed in the joyous atmosphere of the festival.

Many players also buy various New Year's goods in advance.

Of course, compared to the time when online shopping was inconvenient in the past, many players are now more accustomed to online shopping for some things that need to be prepared during the Spring Festival.

And it was at this time that Chen Xu's official blog took the lead.

Players who were originally thinking about what to buy for the New Year and what games to play online, saw Chen Xu's official blog, and instantly began to discuss it.

"Come, come! Sure enough, this year's Nebula Games has another special holiday!"

"Fuck, spring specials, summer specials, autumn specials, winter specials, New Year's specials, co-author Nebula game platform has various specials all year round!?"

"Don't say it, I'll ask you if it smells good!"

"Xiangguixiang, my wallet can't hold it!"

"Why does this **** green discount have such a magical power, my hand suddenly can't control it, no...my money!"

"The original price of more than 300 to 400 games is now more than 100! Chen Xu is about to lose money and become the richest man!"

"Wait, brothers! There are new events this year!"

"Let me see... what the hell, limited themes!?"

"500 for the VR theme of Dark Souls, 1000 for Monster Hunter, what the hell, and it's still cumulative consumption, meaning that my previous consumption is also counted?"

"Wait, is there something wrong in these VR themes? What the **** is the New Year's Special Edition Jushan Mental Hospital!"

Looking at Chen Xu's official blog, the players who were still immersed in the New Year atmosphere were all shocked.
