Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

《The development of Dark Souls is proceeding in an orderly manner.

At the same time, Tenghua's"Fantasy" on the Internet is also constantly releasing some content and details.

Many players who were looking forward to it were hooked.

As for Chen Xu, players who are looking forward to"Dark Soul" are also a little anxious.

After all, it has been almost a month since Chen Xu announced the"Dark Soul" project.

During this period, apart from releasing some original paintings, Chen Xu basically didn't have much content, which also made some players very anxious.

Not only players, but also some designers in the game industry and game media.

I am also very curious about the development progress of"Dark Soul" on Chen Xu's side.

During this period, there were many well-known game media in the industry who wanted to conduct a special interview in order to explore the progress of"Dark Soul".

Of course, they were basically turned away by Chen Xu.

Every day under Chen Xu's official blog, players are looking forward to it, and they keep tagging Chen Xu, thinking about it.Learn about Dark Souls.

However, on the day when the solar term is snowing, Chen Xu finally updated his official blog.

And this time it is no longer the same original painting setting picture as before.

There is no text, no pictures, just a video attachment.

After seeing this piece of news from Chen Xu, all the players became excited instantly. finally come!

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, all the flowers of waiting have faded, and finally there is the latest news about"Dark Souls".

And it’s actually a video? Promotional video or actual demonstration?

The progress of the game is very gratifying, is it finally coming out?

Not only players, but also designers in the game industry also clicked on this video for the first time, wanting to see what kind of game Fengyun Games has developed.

………………

As everyone clicked on the video.

The Fengyun Games logo flashed by, followed by a dark screen.

In the silence, the old female voice narrated, and in the darkness, the voice narrated.

‘Yes, that's the story’

‘This land became known as Lothric……’

Along with the old narration, the darkness dissipated.

There is gray mist everywhere and a ruined royal city, but from the ruins one can feel how prosperous this royal city was in its heyday.

Then the camera slowly lifted into the sky, showing the entire ruins of the royal city on the screen.

‘As if a flash in the pan appeared, all salary kings gathered here……’

‘In the dangerous lands of the north, pilgrims discover the truth of ancient sayings……’

In a scene that looks like a desert, everyone is holding a strange walking stick in their hands and carrying strange creatures like shells on their backs, and they are walking hard.

The camera slowly zooms out, showing the dead bones on the ground and the royal city vaguely visible behind it.

‘Now, the flame will be extinguished, but the king will not be seen. '

The pilgrim in the foreground was finally unable to support his progress and fell in the wilderness.

Then the screen slowly fell into darkness

‘When the continuation of the fire is threatened, the bell will ring, awakening the ancient kings in their coffins. '

In the dark royal city, with the dull sound of bells ringing, the camera switched instantly.

Thousands of tombstones appear on the screen accompanied by the sad sound of bells

‘The Deep Saint——Eldridge. '

In the darkness, a mud-like creature kept squirming and appearing, and a crown was vaguely visible in the middle.

‘The guardians of the abyss - the Farlan Undead Team. '

In the sarcophagus and the mountain of corpses, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding flange swords slowly stood up from them, with dark red cloaks stained with blood swaying in the wind behind them.

‘There is also the giant Yum, the king of the city of seclusion and sin. '

Youmu, who was wearing armor and a crown, stood up slowly with a huge sword in his hand, looked into the distance and let out an earth-shattering roar.

At the same time, his body burst into flames and began to burn.

As Yum roared.

The screen faded into darkness and the narration began again.

On the burning stone platform, the blindfold like a crown was held up by a pair of jade hands

‘In fact, the king will eventually give up his throne, and those who fail to spread the fire will rise. '

In the unclear picture, a young woman kneeling in front of the stone platform puts the crown on her head.

Around her are countless withered bones

‘The nameless immortal who carries the curse is not even qualified to become firewood. '

The flames were still burning in the darkness, and the woman wearing a blindfold walked slowly forward holding a corpse.

‘And it is precisely because of this that Ashes Without Fire is so eager for the remaining fire. '

The next moment the video stopped abruptly, and the four characters"Dark Soul" appeared.

Accompanied by Chen Xu’s release of a promotional video for"Dark Souls".

This informative promotional video has also triggered a heated discussion among countless players.

"really! really! This is a Western fantasy-themed game!"

"Looking at the art and atmosphere, it has a bit of a medieval feel, but also a bit of a dark style!"

"It feels like this should be an ARPG type, right?"

"But can anyone analyze it? As for this video, I can’t understand it at all. It feels like it reveals a lot of content information, but my little brain is not big enough!"

"Not to mention anything else, it seems that the original promotional paintings released by Mr. Chen before were all BOSS characters. That handsome man with a big sword is called the Frank Undead Team?"

"Forget it, when the game comes out, I will know it as soon as I clear the level."

Many players are having discussions after watching the promotional video.

However, apart from the names and images of some BOSSs, players are confused about many things.

For example, what is King of Xin and what does Chuanhuo mean? , and what happened in the world of"Dark Soul".

These things are only revealed in the promotional animation.

Chen Xu is not surprised by this, after all,"Dark Soul" and other games It's completely different.

It uses a fragmented narrative technique.

Even if the player clears the level, he can only play roughly, and in the promotional video,

Chen Xu didn't show much.

Mainly around A story in Soul 3. As for the more distant First Fire Era, Sun King Gwen, Witch, Tomb King Nite, Manus, White Dragon Hiss, etc. are not mentioned at all. Wait for the subsequent development of Soul 1 content is when they appear.
