Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

In the experience store, Yang Xin gave up his seat.

No more squatting behind others to watch.

I came to the rest area of ​​the experience store, holding a cup of Coke I just bought in my hand, and leaned on the sofa.

On the big screen, a game screen of other players is displayed.

But within two minutes, the picture changed into three familiar words

‘you are dead!’

"Are you having fun playing the game?"At this time, Chen Xu was also in the rest area.

After chatting with a player next to him, he saw Yang Xin sitting down with a doubtful expression on his face.

Chen Xu also smiled and spoke.

After hearing Chen Xu's words, he thought of what he had just done in the game. An experience that made Yang Xin's mouth twitch.

"I’m happy, I’m so happy. It reminds me of the experience I had when I first played"Dark Soul"."Yang Xin slumped on the sofa and said helplessly.

Some old"Dark Soul" players next to him also nodded in sympathy at this time.

Isn't it?

It's like a first experience!

The experience store is full of excitement. Players are basically people who have played"Dark Soul". They understand a certain aspect of the game.

And before playing, everyone can be said to be full of confidence.

After all,"Dark Soul" has been played before It was so difficult for them to pass the level.

In such a prequel, the combat mechanism has not changed much.

Isn't it a trivial matter to them?

They have been completely transformed. They are no longer the fire bearers who were still receiving the education of Teacher Guda..

But after they actually stepped into Lordland, they discovered that ideals are beautiful.

But it turns out that reality is so cruel.

Every encounter in the game made them completely doubt their life.

It's so cruel!

From the perspective of the combat system To put it bluntly, although there have been some changes, Chen Xu has not actually changed much.

Although drinking medicine has reduced some movement speed.

But the number of initial element bottles has increased!

It can be said that the soul series battle The system itself is not the core point of its difficulty.

The real difficulty lies in trial and error.

BOSS skills and familiarity with scene maps.

These are the biggest difficulties in the"Dark Soul" series.

Plus"Dark Soul" The map design in the prequel has fewer bonfires than before.

At the same time, there are corresponding monsters and mechanisms around the bonfires.

For example, Javier under the spiral staircase, and the Black Knight in the attic.

In addition , In the game, there is no way to teleport before getting the king weapon.

The map extending in all directions seems to make players feel very novel and opens up various shortcuts.

It allows players to feel the exquisiteness of the map, but it also subtly extends the time. An exploration process for players.

With fewer campfires, the player's range of activities does not actually make them feel very long.

But in fact, the enemies they face and the way they need to walk are actually longer.

This is also Invisibly increasing the difficulty of the game

"Mr. Chen, you still had a reminder to return to the Crystal Lizard back then, but now it’s hidden!"A player next to me sighed with emotion.

"But you can't talk nonsense. The joke is not nonsense. Isn't there advice in this Immortal Academy? If you didn't see it, you can't blame me, right?"Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think about the Chuanhuo Sacrificial Site? The underground cemetery also has the ruins of Xiao Longde. It seems that this is not the place to go in the early stage!"Yang Xin immediately gave an example

"According to the official guideline, it is indeed relatively far back, but as you all know,"Dark Soul" is a very free game."

"Just like some players who directly treat the dancer as the second BOSS and then go to the royal city in advance, this possibility is entirely possible!"Chen Xu said seriously.

"Moreover, these locations are not impossible to visit in the early stage. To reveal a little bit, there is a prop in the Little Londe ruins that is closely related to the Fireproof Girl; there is a good weapon in the underground cemetery, and you can use it from beginning to end after taking it for a week."

"And these things can be obtained directly in the early stage."Chen Xu said with a smile

"Really!"

"Is there a prop in the Little Londe ruins that can rescue the fire-proof girl?"

"Mr. Chen, what exactly are the weapons in the underground cemetery and how to get them! ?"

When the players around him heard Chen Xu's words, they instantly became excited and began to ask more questions.

You know that in the past, if Chen Xu revealed some game content, the other party would be tight-lipped. Now... well...

, now even though I said it, it’s the same as if I didn’t say it.

But at least it made everyone curious and motivated!

"I have already revealed so much content, and I will not reveal more. After all, the game is only interesting if you have to explore it yourself."

"《The charm of"Dark Souls" is to explore this huge and unknown world bit by bit and defeat powerful enemies through your own efforts. Don't you players also have a tacit agreement that you will not give any help to Zhoumu Mengxin?"

Looking at the crowd, Chen Xu, who was sitting in his seat, refused righteously. The players present also felt a little ashamed.

However, Yang Xin next to him expressed a different opinion.

"Mr. Chen, you just want to tempt us to go to the Xiaolongde ruins and the underground cemetery to suffer in the first place!"Yang Xin complained

"How can you say this? It’s just that you doubt the design of my map, so I’ll explain it to you. Besides, it’s up to you whether you’re willing to look for it or not? Also, the weapons in the underground cemetery are very cool!"Chen Xu shook his head and said.

The corners of Yang Xin's mouth twitched slightly.

Still saying no!

Still saying no!

But although she said she had seen through Mr. Chen's conspiracy,

Yang Xin had to admit that, like other players, she did Curiosity arose.

What weapons were hidden in the underground cemetery?

What props in the Little Londe ruins were related to the fire-proof girl?

Well, this feeling.

It was like knowing that I was sold, but I still thought about it. Count money for others.
