Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

It is a big deal for Taipingdao to have an employee get a fancy name, and it must be widely publicized by issuing scarves.

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

Taipingdao official Weibo released a scarf, announcing that Xu Lai, the director of Xumi Game Equipment Manufacturing Factory, a subsidiary of Taipingdao Game Company, was awarded the nickname - Qiaohu Xushu.

The Crouching Dragon and Phoenix of Taiping Road are very well-known. Players also know the Tiangong General, the Digong General, the Renggong General, and even the five people trapped in the camp very dearly.

But if game designers are workers behind the scenes, then the nature of Xu Lai's job is that of workers behind the scenes.

Even senior fans of the Yellow Turban Army don't know much about the character Xu Lai, let alone why he got the nickname Qiaohu Xushu.

Fortunately, Cai Gou knew this, so in the bib, he listed Xu Lai's achievements and his outstanding contribution to the development of Fenghuo 3 in detail.

The player took a look and found out that Xu Lai was the secondary R\u0026D staff member of the Fenghuo-3 R\u0026D team, because although Cai Gou was the chief R\u0026D staff member, he was responsible for the operation of the entire company.

Most of the time, Xu Lai was in charge of the most mysterious Xumi game equipment production factory on Taiping Road as a secondary research and development staff.

"Awesome, the Xu Shu of the Three Kingdoms is the Xu Shu who entered Cao Ying without saying a word. The Xu Shu of Taiping Road is the Xu Shu who entered the Yellow Turban, with his liver and brains wiped out."

"It turns out it was your boy who developed the Fenghuo 3? Good Good Good!"

"Yellow Turban Army: In the front there are crouching dragons and phoenix chicks, in the back there are clever tigers and common people. After all, this world belongs to me, General Tiangong."

"Tsk, tsk, the three generals of Heaven, Earth, Humans, Crouching Dragon, Phoenix, Qiaohu, and the five-man group trapped in the camp are all Taipingdao. Why is there such a big difference? If the Tiangong generals of the Three Kingdoms knew that they could have such a lineup, why would they laugh at it? "

Throughout the morning, the news that Xu Lai from Taiping Road was awarded the title of Qiaohu Xushu attracted much attention from players.

Even during the hot search period of Journey Cup, it was rarely included in the hot search for scarves, attracting heated discussions among countless players.

Liangshan Journey Cup, offline game exhibition hall scene.

A large number of players gathered in the [Hubaoyi] game exhibition hall and surrounded Cai Gou. It felt like they wanted to play Cai Gou directly offline.

A female player cried and said to Cai Gou: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, old thief, you are not a human being. Your overall physical sense is so terrifying. You actually forcibly increased your physical sense by 30% during the battle. It's scary to death."

When the other players heard this, they also echoed excitedly——

"That's right, that's right, I didn't even dare to go into the cabin because I was scared to death by the crows."

"When you say something, I almost pee with fear..."

"Old thief, I want you to make a horror game? Why are you so hard-core in fighting? Doesn't the general know that I am handicapped?"

"That's right. The difficulty of this battle makes you think too highly of me, right?"

"Horror games, I'm timid, hardcore games, I'm handicapped, Resident Evil, it's so fun, I won't say a word when I play it."

While a large number of players were collectively denouncing Cai Gou, a young boy in his twenties interrupted and directly distorted the entire topic——

"Although this game is scary, there is one thing to say. Mrs. Bashiku is very good. The old thief didn't expect that our xp is actually the same."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other angrily, "Boy, is this the time to say this?"

Seeing this, the boy knew that he had aroused public anger, so he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, General Tiangong, as we all know, it is a great joy to have a new holder of a fancy name on Taiping Road. Don't you want to celebrate it with everyone?"

Although this topic was changed very abruptly, who wouldn’t like the universal celebration of Taiping Dao?

Everyone immediately shut up and looked at Cai Gou eagerly, hoping that he could give everyone surprise feedback again.

Upon hearing this, Cai Gou pondered for a long time, raised his head and said to everyone:

"I understand what you mean. Some players think Resident Evil Village is hardcore, and some players think Resident Evil Village is scary."

"Actually, I have prepared a surprise a long time ago, which is guaranteed to solve these two problems in one fell swoop. However, we need to wait for the version update of the Journey Cup, so please be patient and wait."

The version of the Journey Cup was updated on the tenth day of the competition, and it’s only the second day now, so you have to wait.

But when players think about how hard-core combat and too-terrible problems can be solved, it’s worth the wait.

Can……

A horror game without horror elements.

There is no hardcore combat in this Resident Evil game.

Can it really attract players as always?

What is this surprise from General Tiangong?

Curiosity killed the cat. When the player thought about having to wait nine days to get the answer, he felt itchy and unbearable. However, after asking again and again, Cai Gou would not reveal the secret.

no way.

Players can only lie down in the Fenghuo 3 full-sense game cabin, hoping to find surprising clues in the game world.

As time goes by, more and more players purchased Beacon Fire 3, and the number of people online in Resident Evil Village continued to rise.

As players continue to open up wasteland in the world of Resident Evil Village, the game progress of most players is also steadily improving.

During this process, many players became more and more curious and fond of Mrs. Bashiku.

Even in the favorite character poll held in the Resident Evil Village section of Taipingdao Community, Mrs. Bachi was far ahead with an absolute advantage.

Mrs. Bashiku has many labels, of course the most important one is——

A small horse pulls a large cart.

There are even many players who suggest that the Resident Evil Village section of the Taipingdao community be renamed the Lady Hachisha section.

Of course, this move was ruthlessly suppressed by the Resident Evil Village Party, but it also shows how popular Lady Hachisha is among the player community.

Lady Hachisha is a very oppressive and charming BOSS. When she first appeared, she bent down and sucked Ethan's hand, saying that she wanted to taste it.

When Ethan finally slipped away and wanted to search for some resources in the castle, Lady Hachisha would continue to track the player.

This perverted woman seems to be invincible. Ordinary guns are useless against her. If the player is accidentally forced into a dead end, he can only wait to be executed by her claws.

As the exploration deepens, players will gradually discover many mysteries.

Why are there so many torture instruments in the underground passage of the castle?

What is the blood-filled bath in the castle used for?

What is the story behind this giant lady?

As more and more hardcore players enter the game, the life and background story of Lady Hachisha gradually surface.

In fact, at the beginning of the game, in Ethan's home, the player can find the first secret about Lady Hachisha in a drawer.

There is a record in the drawer. Miss D on the cover is Lady Hachisha when she was young. From the cover, we can see that she was once an ordinary person and had a short music career.

Born into a noble family, Lady Hachisha has suffered from a special hereditary blood disease since childhood, probably because of the tradition of inbreeding among nobles.

By chance, she met a person named Miranda.

Miranda claimed that she could cure her genetic disease, but Miranda implanted parasites into Lady Hachisha.

In a basement in the village, the player can obtain a test file, which records the test record of Lady Hachisha that year——

[Tester 181: Achina D]

[Features——]

[Female, 44 years old, descendant of aristocrats]

[From other places, hereditary blood disease]

[Result——]

[Good fit, no decline in intelligence, can manipulate body mutations at will, has been processed by cognitive control, and sent for observation. 】

Lady Hachisha later learned that Miranda was lying and doing experiments in order to select a container to revive her daughter.

The implantation of the parasite gave Lady Hachisha retractable claw-like nails and the ability to regenerate at high speed, which caused her to grow in size.

Players can read Miranda's experimental diary during the game, which records more information about Lady Hachisha——

[Tester's name: Achina Dimitrescu]

[Gift Compatibility: Good]

[Brain Function: Ordinary]

[The body's regeneration speed is extremely amazing. This person can quickly heal any external injuries within a few seconds, and his nails can also turn into claws within a moment. The high-speed regeneration also caused his body to grow in size. 】

[Note: This person suffers from a hereditary blood disease and needs to regularly ingest human blood to maintain his regeneration function. 】

[If the regeneration function of this tester is unbalanced, it may lead to uncontrolled mutation and he should not be selected as Eva's container. 】

When the player reads Miranda's experimental diary, they can know that due to Lady Hachisha's own genetic blood disease, she must regularly take in human blood to maintain her functions. Once the function is unbalanced, she will mutate out of control.

This is why the player can find a large number of torture instruments in the basement of the castle. Lady Hachisha will squeeze the blood of the villagers and make red wine for drinking.

It is also because of the instability of this genetic blood disease that Miranda believes that Lady Hachisha is not suitable as a container for resurrecting her daughter.

But Miranda still let Lady Hachisha stay in the castle and become one of the four local lords.

When the game progresses to the later stage, players can see the mental control effect of parasites on the brain in Miranda's laboratory.

Miranda used this to control Lady Hachisha to let her manage a territory and help find a way to resurrect her daughter.

The three young women that the player met in the castle in the early stage were a new type of resurrection method that Miranda tried.

Miranda used insects to eat the girl's flesh, and then let the swarm of insects produce mimicry, so that the girl's human form could be [resurrected], but this has a fatal flaw-insects are afraid of cold.

Players can collect information during the game to get the real answer to the fatal weaknesses of these three girls--

[They can hardly tolerate a sharp drop in temperature. ]

[Especially when the temperature drops to 10 degrees, their metabolic function will decrease and they will enter a dormant and cryptobiotic state. ]

[Similar to the cryptobiotic phenomenon of the tardigrade phylum, or similar to the sleepy midge? ]

This is also why when players encounter these three daughters, they can help defeat them by breaking windows for ventilation.

Although these insect girls are just experimental subjects, Mrs. Hachisha treats them as her own daughters.

When players first enter the castle, they can see the photo on the middle wall, which is the portrait of the three daughters.

If the player kills all three insect girls, he will hear Mrs. Hachisha's painful and angry roar--

"The bloodline of the Dimitrescu family is about to be broken! It's broken by you, a bastard!"

Before Ethan arrived at the castle, the four mothers and daughters of the Dimitrescu family had ruled here brutally for decades.

Some local women are captured and taken to the castle to serve them, some have their blood squeezed out to make wine, while men have their bodies hollowed out and made into scarecrows.

There were villagers who once thought about rebelling against the Madam. When the player explores the attic of the castle, they can find a note with the legend of a short knife covered in poison——

[I heard that there is something called the "Dead Flower Dagger" in this castle. 】

[It is said that the knife is a medieval antique, and the blade is coated with poison mixed with poisons from all over the world. 】

[Some people say that this knife was made to kill demons and monsters. It sounds really mysterious, but... no one knows where it is. 】

The design drawing of this knife mentioned——

[A long time ago, a man used this knife to assassinate Dimitrescu. 】

[Dimitrescu sealed the knife and his body in the tower because the knife was still a threat to Dimitrescu. 】

The sealing location mentioned in the design seems to be in the tower, but it is actually in the church of the castle.

Depending on how solemnly the assassin was buried in the church, the player can feel that his relationship with his wife may be... unusual.

But it is a pity that there is no more description of the assassin in the game, except that this knife is mentioned as the key to defeating the madam.

The poison on this knife can destroy the balance of Mrs. Bashiku's blood, causing her to lose the ability to regenerate at high speed, and at the same time, she loses control and mutates into a white dragon.

In the form of a white dragon, Madam Bachi is even more powerful. Her collision can easily destroy buildings, and the wings on her back can also allow Madam Bachi to fly into the air.

At this time, the player can only cause damage to the Eight-foot Lady by constantly switching weapons and attacking the humanoid half-body on the dragon's back in the form of a white dragon.

finally……

The white dragon mutated from Mrs. Bashiku will crystallize into stone and turn into ashes, symbolizing that the bloody and cruel rule of Mrs. Bashiku has come to a temporary end.

But this is not over yet, because with continued in-depth digging, players discovered that the eight-foot lady in the game has a prototype in reality.

Of course, there are different opinions on who the prototype is, and the gaming community is divided into several schools.

However, the most mainstream statement currently accepted by players is——

The prototype of the Eight-foot Lady is Elizabeth Bathory, the Countess of Hungary in the 15th century.

In order to maintain her youth and beauty, she imprisoned local girls in the castle, drank their blood, and bathed in the girl's blood.

In the world of Resident Evil Village, players can also find huge baths filled with blood, which seems to prove this.

Later, the bloody countess in the real world was tried and locked in a dark room in the castle until she died.

When the story behind Mrs. Bashiku's scene was discovered, the most liked comment in the comment section was——

It turns out that she is a poor person too!

Miranda, you deserve death!
