Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

For many players, Smash Bros. is an exciting game.

And with the advancement of time, some players of the Great God level have basically had a certain understanding of the mechanism and concept of Super Smash Bros.

Just like the Link operation that Chen Xu released before, it is no longer amazing, after all, it was only a stake at that time.

In the real high-end online battle, when the combat power of a fighter is over, the player can start the VIP event, and the players who can play the VIP event basically belong to the perfection of playing a fighter.

For these players, ordinary players gave them a very appropriate title, that is: monsters!

In their hands, the fighters are almost ready to play, and as for the battle, one life can kill them three.

Of course, this situation is normal for many games.

For example, as a soul game, Aerdun's Circle, some players may brush a level 300 bucket number, with +10 hound tusk and +10 black knife Dish or bionic teardrop, there is no way to play. Valkyrie, but some players can take the Valkyrie without injury at level 1.

In terms of competition, players don't know Chen Xu's position on the big fight, and they can't help but feel some regrets when they haven't seen the official event.

However, there is no shortage of events organized by various third parties, which can be regarded as diverting a lot of players' attention.

And as the popularity of the big fight continues to stabilize, even the sales of the switch have ushered in a wave of recovery.

This has also made many players complain. It's just another year of tinkering. The VR game warehouse has already launched the pro version, and the next era is said to be coming.

But this old handheld console that has been online for several years, Nebula Games, except for a wave of screen and memory updates and battery life, it is still the same up to now, but the sales volume is still very strong, simply!

Regarding the complaints of these players online, it is obvious that Chen Xu is not clear at all.

But even if he knew it, Chen Xu's heart didn't fluctuate, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

Although they also want to update the new version of Nebula Games, but you players are too enthusiastic, and the production of this purchase can't keep up with the development of a new generation!

And compared to these, the current Chen Xu has more important things.

………………

Laboratory of the Ministry of Games Technology Park

Chen Xu and a group of top domestic game designers all stared at the drawings on the computer screen and the corresponding demonstrations with dumbfounded expressions.

Because what this drawing demonstrated was too shocking to them.

That is the perfect neural access technology.

The existing VR technology actually already supports this aspect.

And major manufacturers have already applied it, including many games such as "World of Warcraft", which have already applied this technology.

But it is only for reading information.

At the same time, the visual effects brought by VR technology have actually approached the bottleneck, such as light chasing, vibration feedback, sound effects, and picture precision. From the perspective of game performance, as long as game manufacturers are willing to spend their money, they can already be unlimited. approaching reality.

No matter how you improve, there is no way to improve, and the game is not the better the better the picture, but it is the most direct expression in this area.

But what Chen Xu and the others have seen is different in this era of VR game warehouses. It adopts a half-sleep mechanism, which is similar to a method of hypnosis, allowing players to subconsciously think that they are in the world of the game.

It can only be said that this thing is simply a black technology.

"Fuck, this is too arrogant?"

"I feel that if it is really the same as what I said, I am afraid it will subvert the future game industry!"

"Yeah, and from the operation of the game, including the perspective design, it needs to be completely overturned."

"That's true, but I feel that it is necessary to feel sorry for a wave of students majoring in game design in the university. This is really going to be popularized in the past few years!"

The designers who participated in this secret invitation around are all among the best in the country, but now everyone is not concerned about their own image, and some even swear.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think?" At this time, someone suddenly asked Chen Xu.

Hearing this, some of the other designers who were still discussing also turned their attention to Chen Xu.

After all, if anyone in the world wants to say who is the number one designer, there is no doubt that it is the man in front of him.

"Security is the key issue. Minister Yang has not heard any news about the next-generation VR. Didn't the VR game warehouse even let us participate in the security test when it was launched to the market?" Chen Xu said.

This is also where he is more confused. After all, when the VR game warehouse was launched, he also participated in the safety test.

And the technology of this new game warehouse involves cutting-edge nerves and information transmission. He doesn't understand these technologies. The only thing that confuses him is that it is silent.

Some other game designers also showed curious expressions.

"This is thanks to you, President Chen!" Hearing this, Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Thanks to me?!" Chen Xu looked confused.

"It's not! The "Silent Hill PT" DEMO that you developed, Mr. Chen, is very easy to use. We optimized the fineness of the screen and let people who have never played this DEMO test it directly.

"And Mr. Chen, you have developed a lot of games over the years. The full version of "Silent Hill" and "Resident Evil" with the combat system removed are quite good test materials, including the forbidden forest in "Curse of Blood" , and the sewers of the royal city in "Aerdun's Circle" that you developed not long ago, the brightness performance is adjusted, they are all excellent content!" Yang Chen said with a laugh.

The rest of the designers around showed very weird expressions, but they looked back and thought about it.

It seems...it seems, quite reasonable!

If you haven't played these games, delete the battle system for the first time, and then adjust the brightness in the game appropriately and deal with the lens specially.

Imagine, hiss..., this is just about any style!

If you want psychological depression, there is Silent Hill, if you want **** horror, there is Resident Evil, and if you want to be weird, the blood source and the ring of Eldon can be satisfied.

Thinking about it this way, the design of these games is too perverted, too hellish!

Let's think about the lively robbery gameplay developed by President Chen before.

Thankfully, Mr. Chen became a game designer, otherwise it would be of no benefit to the society at all!

"So Minister Yang, this time is mainly to let us make a fuss about the content of the next-generation VR?" Chen Xu asked Yang Chen.

"Yes, although the global VR of this generation has fully surpassed the market share of zeus, the victory has not yet been determined. In this next era, the cost of VR in the new era has been reduced, and we can fully achieve civilians. This is a good opportunity to establish a new round of industry rules." Yang Chen's expression became serious.

Chen Xu understood.

To put it bluntly, it is very simple. It is nothing more than determining the market share, thereby planning the rules of the game industry.

Next, Chen Xu and other designers also continued to visit the effect of the new VR, and they probably had a number of its performance and characteristics.

Regarding the market and safety, it is not what their designers care about. The game department has quite mature plans for this area.

For them, the more important thing is the content.

And this time there is something different, that is, there needs to be a clear market target.

Themes and genres all need to **** the new VR.

The designers who can participate this time are also having a heated discussion.

"FPS, RPG and APRG are nothing more than the three most mainstream types."

"It's not the same, it's not the same. Judging from the content just experienced, the next-generation VR obviously focuses on the sense of immersion and substitution. Action adventures like The Last Survivor and Uncharted Sea are better in my opinion."

"There are also themes. Aside from the genre, for different regions, this theme also has a more suitable direction."

"And one key point is that this time is a ZZ mission, right? For the layout of the next era, the review will be relaxed, and you can be bold!"

"Thinking too much, we are different from ordinary designers. Now the line is already at the bottom, and if we go further down, we will be bumped."

"Don't say it is so scary! It's the works that are smashed, not the people!"

"By the way, Mr. Chen, what are your thoughts?"

A group of designers gathered to talk about relevant information, and they came to Chen Xu after talking about the topic. After all, his identity and status were placed here.

"My thoughts? There are indeed some. In fact, regardless of the type of game, whether it is FPS, RPG or ARPG, I think it is nothing more than two directions." Chen Xu said after listening for a while.

"The first aspect is gameplay, and the so-called gameplay is nothing more than a variety of gameplay systems extended by collection, development, etc., whether it is an action game, an FPS game or an ARPG, both collection and development cannot escape. Elements, like the foundation of a house, these two points are the roots!"

"The second direction is the experience brought by the plot. Needless to say."

"Judging from the performance in the early stage of the next era, it is obvious that the content of the plot will be more effective."

Everyone present is also thoughtful, and those who can come here are the top of the industry.

Naturally, it is clear what Chen Xu's words mean. It does not mean that the so-called gameplay is not important, but from the performance and characteristics of the current next-generation VR, a plot-oriented game that can directly bring an immersive experience is obviously more advantageous.

And for them, it is important to let the next-generation VR have the most intuitive content when it goes online, so as to attract players to their camp.

Just like every next era in the previous life, it will make a fuss on the screen, and when the screen falls into a bottleneck, it will make a fuss about the hard disk reading speed, and when these contents also reach the bottleneck, the controller and sound effects are the best The points that make players feel a direct change will become a place to make a fuss.

"In terms of game development, I think everyone can discuss it, try not to crash with the same type of theme, even if the follow-up promotion of the crash and the launch time should be staggered as much as possible." At this time, a designer proposed something.

After all, the significance of this time is no trivial matter, and it is different from the usual pure commercial disputes.

But after the words fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Xu.

Obviously, the people present all have the same meaning. If you are afraid, who can come here without a brush or two?

But only one person made them all a little bit cowardly.

"Cough, I do have some ideas for new games."

"Domestic, island countries, and Europe and the United States, we Nebula Games will be responsible for these three markets in the future. As for the type, it belongs to RPG and action adventure."

Crowd: ? ? ? ?

Everyone was stunned.

You speak human words! ?

Responsible for three markets? These three directions are the biggest in the game industry.

Why don't you pack Africa by the way! ?
