Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

The storm, coupled with the dark scene, even in the cartoon art style, Zhang Yi still felt a little panic.

After all, this atmosphere is too underworld.

With a spit in his heart, Zhang Yi controlled Booker to knock on the door, but got no response, and then pushed the door in.

There was no one inside, and there was only a poster in the opposite direction, a basin of water, a towel and a lit candle.

The poster reads: I want to wash away your sins.

This seems to be an instrument for a religious baptism.

After exploring, he didn't find anything, and then Zhang Yi slowly touched the second floor of the lighthouse, where he saw a marked map and a timetable.

But this is not the key, what really made Zhang Yi's heart palpitate, that is, there are several **** handprints on the wall leading to the third floor.

When he came to the third floor, he saw the scene, and his heart trembled.

There was a pool of bright red blood on the ground in front of him. At the same time, on the chair in the corner, a person was tied behind the chair with his backhand. His head was covered with a cloth bag, and the burlap bag was stained with blood.

There was also a sign on his chest that read: Don't let us down.

Combined with the majestic rain and thunder and lightning outside the house, Zhang Yi, who was not very courageous, was a little shaken.

Isn't this really a horror game? Zhang Yi said that the pressure is huge.

Approaching cautiously, Zhang Yisheng was afraid that when he walked over, the corpse on the chair would suddenly jump up.

But it was obvious that she had too much drama in her own heart. After getting closer, she observed it a little, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

And there is no way to take off the cover, so you can't see what the corpse looks like.

Next, he continued to move towards the top of the lighthouse, which made Zhang Yi a little curious.

Where can this lighthouse lead?

Didn't you say you were looking for Elizabeth?

How did you get to this lighthouse at sea?

With curiosity, Zhang Yi manipulated Booker to the top of the lighthouse.

In front of him was a gate, and the way to open it had been obtained before on the ship.

Follow the method to open it, and a chair appears in the central area of ​​the lighthouse.

Following the guidance of the system, Zhang Yi controlled Booker to sit up.

Then the whole body was instantly imprisoned, and there was a hint of a mechanical female voice in his ear.

'The pilgrims are ready, these things are for your safety. ’

Countless iron pieces appeared, forming a space similar to a space capsule and wrapping Booker in it.

"What the hell? What's the situation?"

Zhang Yi panicked a little, and controlled the in-game perspective to look around.

I saw that under the seat of the lighthouse, there was actually a burning flame, something like a rocket booster.

'Rise...rise, count down...five...four...three...two...one'

With the end of the countdown, Zhang Yi's perspective became the first perspective, and the picture kept shaking.

Apparently she was taking off rapidly, and the intelligent voice next to her was constantly broadcasting.

'5,000 feet...10,000 feet...15,000 feet'

When reaching the height of fifty thousand feet, the shaking of the game screen stopped.

After passing through the thick clouds, a sudden burst of dazzling light appeared.

Zhang Yi closed his eyes involuntarily.

'Hallelujah! ’

Opening his eyes and looking at the heavenly city in front of him, Zhang Yi fell into shock just like Booker in the game.

"It's so beautiful!" Looking at Columbia, the city in the sky, through the glass in the flight cabin, Zhang Yi was directly amazed.

It is not that Zhang Yi has never seen such a magnificent view.

Stormwind in World of Warcraft, Florence in Assassin's Creed, and Pirate Utopia in Uncharted.

But the sight of Columbia, the city in the sky, still shocked him.

Looking into the distance from a high altitude, it is a floating island scattered among the white clouds.

Spreading its wings in the distance, the huge angel sculpture looks extremely spectacular.

In the flight cabin, you can vaguely see the colorful buildings in the city.

Under the sunlight, the entire Colombian Sky City looks so ecstatic.

Beautiful is like heaven, like a city that exists only in fairy tales.

Especially before this, he was still in the dark sea lighthouse.

The shock brought by these two levels of reversal is simply indescribable in words.

However, the glass window of the flight cabin still did not allow Zhang Yi to fully appreciate this heavenly city.

Eventually the flight capsule landed in a church.

Taking the flight cabin elevator all the way down, a solemn singing sounded in Zhang Yi's ears.

‘Hopefully the cycle is not broken. ’

‘Lord, in the near future. ’

'We will be reunited eventually. ’

'In heaven and on earth. ’

Hearing this song, Zhang Yi was a little stunned.

"Is this song a Christian chant?"

Silently cut out, entered the browser and searched, Zhang Yi felt a little wrong.

.

In fact, from the previous promotional video, we can already know that "Bioshock" is a game with religious elements.

And the "Hallelujah" that the artificial intelligence called out before is also full of religious flavor.

What makes Zhang Yi even more curious is whether this religious element is one of the core contents in the game, or is it just a background board.

After all, for most games, religion is really just a background board.

Is that the case with Bioshock?

'The Prophet will guide the people to the new Eden. ’

'The sons of the prophets should sit on the throne and be supported by all the peoples. ’

'The son of the prophet is conceived in my womb. ’

‘Lamb, the future of our city. ’

‘The road to pardon is the only road to Colombia. ’

Exploring in the church, Zhang Yi soon felt a very strong religious theocracy atmosphere, but it was very strange.

Because in this city in the sky, there is a being called a prophet who believes in.

At the same time, with the teachers in the church and some books like the Bible, Zhang Yi almost understood a basic situation.

The ruler of this city is Comstock, mentioned in the previous trailer.

People refer to Comstock as a "prophet" and "father."

His children are called the lambs of Colombia.

Zhang Yi doesn't know much about religion.

After all, he is not a religious believer, but there are similar plots in many games, and most manufacturers have turned the Holy See into a villain.

For example, "Assassin's Creed", "Bloodborne", "Dark Souls" and so on.

One of Jesus' alternate names is the Lamb of God.

This also means that Comstock is almost a god-like existence in this city.

"Don't let me out without baptism, then wash it."

Booker, who was in control of the game, went around in a circle, but when he came to the gate, Zhang Yi was stopped by several NPCs, saying that he wanted to baptize him.

So Zhang Yi had no choice.

Under the guidance of the priests of the Holy See, Zhang Yi controlled Booker to be baptized.

The next moment in the game, Zhang Yi saw the priest of the Holy See hold his head, and then immersed it in the water.

"WDNMD! Is there such a thing as baptism!?"

Under the first-person VR immersive experience, Zhang Yi was immediately stunned when his head was pushed into the water.
