Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Faced with countless Black Watch soldiers, as well as the firepower of tanks and aircraft.

Yang Xin went straight towards the Black Watch commander.

But what surprised Yang Xin was when he was attacked by planes and tanks.

She was still quite hurt.

A single injury does not feel like a threat.

But as the saying goes, an elephant will be killed if there are too many ants.

After the number of enemy units increased, Yang Xin found that ALEX's health bar dropped quite quickly.

But she didn't pay too much attention.

Because at this time, she had already arrived in front of the Black Watch Commander in the crowd.

He grabbed the opponent and threw him to the ground. The tentacles on his body penetrated the opponent's body to absorb and assimilate him.

The blood volume originally consumed is instantly restored to full.

At the same time, you are trapped in a short plot animation.

This is the plot of the second half of the previous promotional trailer, and Yang Xin has already watched the video.

But with VR performance, the visual effects are simply shocking to the point of explosion.

I saw ALEX bending over and holding his shoulders with both hands after absorbing the opponent.

Then he suddenly opened his hands.

Countless dark red tentacles shot out from his body.

Like the ground spines in claw form, these tentacles are extremely sharp.

Instantly piercing the surrounding soldiers, tanks, and armed helicopters in the sky.

A series of explosions turned the entire Times Square into ruins.

Soldiers, mutants, and modern military weapons are like tofu under the all-round attack of this tentacle.

"So cool! Is this a big move in the game?"

Looking at ALEX who had regained his composure and turned to leave, Yang Xin couldn't help but sigh.

But he didn't give Yang Xin too much time to express his feelings.

As ALEX walked towards the distance, the camera perspective suddenly fell into a memory animation scene..

ALEX is having a conversation with a person.

But the other person does not appear in the camera.

Even the name is only replaced by the name of the mysterious person.

‘We have less than an hour left, what next?’

ALEX：‘The last person responsible for all this is going to die tonight’

‘If we succeed, do you think you'll be ready?’

ALEX：‘I'm just here for this moment. '

The game's loading sign appeared in front of me, and the game screen fell into darkness.

Then a line of subtitles appeared in the middle of the screen

‘18 days ago’

‘Kintike Mortuary - Kintike Building, Street Park. '

In the picture, two medical staff wearing isolation suits are observing a corpse.

This corpse is ALEX.

Yang Xin also showed a surprised expression

"Is this just a prologue? Is the plot in flashback mode?"

A mode of flashback.

This is a relatively common plot narrative method in games.

As for the opening scene, it is obviously the content of the game's selling point and core gameplay.

This is used in most games..

Traditional online games, especially some mobile games and web games.

Usually players will do this when they enter the game.

First, I will give you a card with a full level divine equipment, and various SSRs, and create an opening plot to make you feel happy..

Then something happens, a dream or some artifact breaks, and you have to start over.

This gives players a sense of expectation, because players know exactly what the exciting content of this game is.

So I have an expectation for the following content.

And"Prototype of Death" is also very suitable for this mode.

If"Dark Soul" adopts this mode, it will be counterproductive.

After all,"Prototype of Death" The core point of"Dark Souls" is that it is fun.

So it can be shown. As for"Dark Soul" , you can't just let the players fight the unknown king, the sick village, the French Fortress and so on. The plot in the game is still going on..Two medical staff were chatting while preparing for an autopsy.

‘I know him, he's from Blacklight’

‘Yeah, but now he's ex-Blacklight’

‘His name is Alex Mercer, and he has a relative named Tina’

‘His wife?’

‘have no idea’

‘Do you think this has something to do with the experimental subjects on the 51st floor?’

‘I don't know, but I don't want to know either. The two were chatting while preparing to start the usual autopsy on AELX's corpse.

But the next moment, ALEX, who was originally a corpse, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the operating table.

‘Get out of here and notify the extermination team! '

The two medical staff ran outside.

ALEX was left with a confused look on his face.

Coming off the operating table, a confused ALEX gasped and staggered out of the building.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, ALEX saw the two medical staff from before arguing with the Black Watch soldiers.

Then he was decisively shot by the opponent.

At the same time, the Black Watch soldiers also discovered ALEX who had just walked out of the building.

"Fire! Kill him!"

The commander of Black Watch issued the order.

Bullets were fired at ALEX's body, causing him to wail in pain.

But the next moment, ALEX discovered something unusual.

Because he was not hurt at all.

‘I...what's wrong with me? '

ALEX muttered to himself in a daze.

But obviously now is not the time to think about this. He looked at the iron fence next to him.

ALEX used the trash can to easily cross over.

Looking at the five- to six-meter-high wall, ALEX himself had an incredible expression.

Next on the street, Yang Xin also regained an operating authority for ALEX.

The corresponding task appears on the screen: Escape from the current area.

A corresponding map UI is immediately displayed on the lower right.

After leaving the alley, an army helicopter gunship appeared in the sky and attacked ALEX.

ALEX, on the other hand, ran wildly on the street.

Countless pedestrians made frightened sounds and began to flee in all directions.

Cars also collided with each other on the street, causing riots.

In this area, Chen Xu has made many adjustments compared to the rigid AI of the previous"Slaying Prototype".

For example, NPCs will react accordingly.

Instead of the original one, ALEX was running fast on the street, the army was raining bullets, and the pedestrians on the roadside were still walking about themselves.

This can also add a more sense of reality and immersion to players.

At least Yang Xin now has one word: cool!

You don't have to think about it so much when you're running rampant on the streets.

Everything blocking the road was jumped over and destroyed, which gave Yang Xin a very strange feeling.
