Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

After Chen Xu announced the existence of "Under the Legend".

Ordinary players haven't noticed anything yet, they just feel that the situation has escalated.

This is not a mouth gun, but a frontal bayonet!

But for the well-informed gaming media, it feels like a Chihuahua.

Good guy, they originally thought it was a young man who stood up and attacked directly.

This is a premeditated hype!

However, I know that I know that the traffic brought by this big melon cannot be missed.

Under the reports of various media, the popularity of the two games "Under the Legend" and "Blossom" soon began to soar.

In the Hepai media, Zhong Media can be said to be a little anxious.

Because now the two games can be said to be bound together.

And the reason why the popularity can rise so fast is apart from his official blog post with Chen Xu.

More importantly, he also invested a lot of game promotion expenses.

but now?

All for "Under the Legend" as a wedding dress.

 …

On July 15, "Under the Legend" was officially launched on the official game platform store.

Compared with "Blossom" on Zhong Media's side, "Under the Legend" is 3 days ahead of schedule.

It's a chance to grab a head start.

Many game designers and players are concerned about the performance of "Under the Legend".

After all, this game is not a gentleman's game like "Magic Mirror" before.

Although the performance of "Magic Mirror" is very eye-catching, it is an 18R game after all.

Now everyone wants to see what the quality of the game called "Under the Legend" developed by Chen Xu is.

In a media editorial department called Game Time and Space, Wu Tian, ​​who had just worked for a short time, was also sitting in front of the computer preparing to evaluate "Under the Legend".

Although it is an ordinary independent game, it can't stand the recent popularity.

The only thing that made Wu Tian depressed was that it happened to be Sunday.

It also means he has to work overtime.

"Forget it, bear with it, anyway, there will be overtime pay." Wu Tian sighed when he saw the time.

He remembered what the editor-in-chief told him before: 'The company pays overtime is relatively high, please bear with it'.

After sorting out the clutter on the workbench, Wu Tian opened the game called "Under the Legend".

At the beginning, a simple LOGO icon, a black starry sky background, marked with four characters of Nebula Game, and a line of English below.

After a brief black screen, what appeared on the screen was a yellowed portrait of a little girl with a long-haired face that could not be seen clearly.

And an animal that also stands without a face, looks a bit like a rabbit, a dog, or a sheep?

Looking at this yellowed portrait, Wu Tian guessed in his heart.

Just like a manga, the opening animation begins to turn the pages.

"I don't have the money to make CG animations, so I use the comic style to tell the opening story. This method is okay."

Wu Tian guessed in his heart.

This beginning alone has given Wu Tian a good impression of the game "Under the Legend" in his heart.

At least, today's overtime trip has a relatively high probability that it will not be a torture.

The portrait starts to turn the page

The background music rang, and the simple scales were still quite flavorful.

'Long, long ago, the earth was ruled by two races - humans and monsters. ’

‘On a certain day there was a war between two races. ’

'Through a long war, the human race finally won, and they sealed the monsters underground. ’

'And now, many years have passed...'

'Ebert Hill - 201X, legend has it that those who climbed the mountain never came back. ’

A simple background introduction, and nothing to stand out.

Then, after naming the protagonist in the game, I saw the protagonist wake up on the grass full of yellow petals.

According to the game operation prompt that appeared before, Li Ye controlled the character to walk forward.

After coming to a gate similar to the entrance of the castle, I walked in and a sunflower flower appeared there.

'hello! ’

'I am Xiaohua! ’

'Hee hee hee! ’

‘You must have just come to the underground world, right? ’

'Oh my God, you must be very confused. ’

‘Looks like I have to teach you the rules of the game here. ’

'Xiaohua has no choice but to teach you personally, are you ready? Let's get started! ’

Such a strange character.

Looking at the sunflower-like flower in front of him, Wu Tian said in his heart.

"LV upgrades become stronger, shouldn't it be a level? What the **** is love?"

Looking at Xiaohua's lines, Wu Tian didn't understand.

Make a fool of yourself?

And what are these friendship particles?

I always feel that this little flower is not a good thing.

Wu Tian thought to himself, and the next game screen also confirmed his thoughts.

It was accompanied by a wicked laugh.

Xiaohua, who seemed to be friendly at first, showed a hideous face after telling him that LV was improved by touching the friendship particles.

After touching the white particles, the blood volume instantly became 1 point.

'You idiot! In this world, either kill or be killed! Who would miss such a great opportunity? ’

'Die! ’

Unsurprisingly, someone should come to the rescue.

The plot kill in the standard RPG.

Looking at the heart-shaped icon surrounded by countless white particles, Wu Tian's emotions did not fluctuate.

He almost understood the battle part of the game, similar to the way of avoiding the barrage in the audio game.

This is the plot arrangement, it's a bit old-fashioned, isn't it a traditional RPG.

Sure enough, at the moment when the barrage circle was about to touch him, the HP that had only 1 point left suddenly filled up, and at the same time, the barrage representing the attack disappeared.

The little flower in the game also showed a confused expression, and under the performance of Yan Yi, she was directly knocked off by a group of flames.

A woman with horns on her head appeared and rescued the protagonist in the game.

'What a cruel guy, actually torturing such a weak and helpless child. ’

'Don't be afraid, child, my name is Toril, the keeper of the ruins. ’

'I come to this place every day to see if anyone has fallen, no humans have come here long before you. ’

'Come on, let me take you through this catacomb. ’

'This way. ’

After a simple conversation, the ewe named Toril led Wu Tian towards the road ahead.

Show him how to solve puzzles and how to use traps.

At the same time, tell him that when encountering an enemy, he does not have to fight, and he can also persuade the NPC.

Very simple decryption, ordinary push stones, and don't step on leaves on the back panel.

"Although it's not a torture trip, the quality is too boring, and it feels like it's not even as interesting as the elimination fun in "Magic Mirror"."

Wu Tian sighed and looked at a monster he encountered, and did not choose to talk and embrace kindly.

Instead, go directly to the combat state.

So far, the only thing that makes him feel more interesting.

That is the Yan Yi expression of the little flower at the beginning, and this battle link.

Despite the dodgeball-style gameplay, different monsters show different fighting styles.

For example, frogs, fighting is a frog jumping in a box.

It can be said that it matches the image of the monster very well.

"I hope the process of this game will not be stinky and long, let me get off work earlier." With a sigh, Wu Tian shook his head.
