Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Aside from the elements of META, the plot of "Under the Legend" itself is actually quite good.

There are many interesting and attractive characters in the game.

Such as Shansi, who shakes hands with the game's protagonist with a fart pad in his hand, and Papyrus, who is keen to block the protagonist with puzzles.

Shansi, who looks very lazy, likes to make fun of his brother Papyris by telling some puns about skeletons.

His brother Paparis was very keen to use the puzzle mechanism to block the protagonist, but when the protagonist did not take the initiative or had no way to solve the puzzle, he took the initiative to reveal the answer to the puzzle.

Doctor like a house girl.

What shocked the players was what Zhongshansi said in the resplendent corridor before facing the final BOSS battle in the game.

This is where Shansi will judge the player for everything they do.

From Shansi's mouth, it can be known that EXP is not the so-called experience value, but execution points, which means execution points.

And LV is not what players understand, nor is it a simple LOVE, but an abbreviation of Level of Violence, which is the meaning of violence level.

Every time the player kills a monster, the execution points will increase, and as the execution points increase, the violence level will also increase.

It's not the experience value, let alone the character level, but the violence index in the game.

This is where "Under the Legend" subverts the previous RPG settings.

Killing monsters to upgrade, this should be a matter of course for most RPG players.

But it's different in "Under the Legend".

For most players who have just experienced it, they have played the first common ending, and they are shocked by its content when they come into contact with Xiaohua.

But if at the end of the normal ending, the player chooses not to kill Xiaohua, then he will know how to achieve a peaceful ending from his mouth.

In the peaceful ending, players need to make friends with each monster by talking without killing any monsters.

In the process of this ending, players can find that these monsters have their own characteristics.

The hideous-looking monsters have a cute side. For example, the fish sister An Dein can be described as the arrogant arrogance of textbooks!

[Listen to humans, we don't just want to be friends]

【We are going to be best friends】

【I want you to treat me, unable to extricate yourself】

【This is my perfect revenge】

Under Papyrus's "striking law", the legendary captain of the Royal Guard just accepted a friend like the protagonist.

And also performed a cooking class for her, even though it set her house on fire.

Brother Skull, Mother Sheep, Sister Fish...

Especially when facing the final boss king and sheep mother's son lamb, it made countless players cry.

in this battle

When you die, it's not a game failure.

Instead, a line of subtitles will appear: Your resolve refuses.

Finally, with the help of countless friends' determination, the player finally defeated the lamb.

At the same time, I also learned some stories about the background of the game from the mouth of the lamb.

A long, long time ago, a human child fell to the ground, was rescued by the lamb, and was taken in by the king and the mother.

They became best friends, but then for some reason he lost that friend.

So the lamb absorbed the soul of the first child, turned into an extremely powerful existence, and possessed the power to pass through the enchantment. The lamb left the ground and came to the ground to fulfill the last wish of a friend.

But it was attacked by humans who mistakenly thought it had killed the first child. Finally, the scarred lamb hobbled back home, and then fell to the ground, turned into a cloud of dust, and scattered throughout the garden.

And its determination is injected into a golden flower, which is the origin of the little flower.

In this last battle, Xiaoyang was finally freed and relieved, letting go of the pain he had been clinging to.

Both the normal ending and the peaceful ending were obtained.

It seems that players should be satisfied like this, but curiosity is the **** point of human beings, execution points, and the evil side of Xiaohua, which seems to drive players to explore another ending.

And in this ending, players really feel the unspeakable shock and a kind of spiritual thinking.

………………

Sitting in front of the computer, Jiang Ping's expression was very serious at this time.

'There are 3 left in the current scene'

What appears on the display is a prompt.

In the scene of the underground world, the monsters have been slaughtered, and in this scene there are only three monsters that have not been found.

The map was empty, and the previously lively tavern was dead silent.

At this time, Jiang Ping had an indescribable feeling.

Because of the gentleman's game "Magic Mirror", he is also very curious about Chen Xu's new work "Under the Legend".

The disdain that just entered the game, and the shock of the customs clearance.

After reaching the normal and peaceful ending, he became curious about the so-called killing ending.

But now he feels that he has some regrets.

In the last game, the monsters that were his friends died in his hands one by one, just to simply satisfy the conditions of the game's plot.

Including Papyrus, this skeleton like a little angel, even when he was dying, he believed that he could correct his evil.

【What a good excuse? You must know better than anyone how soothing this approach can be! 】

[But at least we are better than those hypocrites who stand on the sidelines of evil, those poor guys who want to see it, but are too cowardly to do it themselves! 】

The narration in the game is full of irony.

But he still didn't stop.

All monsters can be killed in one shot.

Until she met the captain of the royal guard, Sister Yu again.

Next to a waterfall, Andyin appeared and blocked a bean-like monster.

As captain of the Royal Guard, she has been guarding the monsters of the underworld, but now she says she herself has let them down.

But just as she was about to die, a passionate BGM sounded.

The wind howled, accompanied by flashes of white light.

The determination fish appeared.

[The hero reinvented himself with his 'determination' to save the world]

Listening to the passionate BGM called Fighting with Real Heroes, Jiang Ping felt great irony.

The monsters of the game are named as heroes.

And the protagonist he manipulated was doing what the monster should do.

This is the toughest fight he has ever fought in the game.

After struggling to kill Sister Yu, he continued to move forward, and finally he came to a familiar place.

The front hall of the throne, resplendent and splendid, was waiting in front of a familiar figure.

Shansi will judge the player's actions before this.

And now?

No more nonsense.

directly into the combat phase.

【What a beautiful day today! 】

【The birds are singing and the flowers are blooming! 】

【On a day like this, people like you... 】

[Should be in hell...burned! 】

As soon as the voice fell, an offensive like a tide swept in, instantly killing Jiang Ping who was unprepared.

Keep trying, keep trying.

Finally, when he was about to defeat Shansi.

Shansi in the game seems to have thought of a way, that is, never move on his own turn.

But unfortunately Shansi still failed.

While Shansi was resting, he quietly moved to attack and attacked and killed Shansi.

Then Xiaohua appears, and unlike Xiaohua in the normal ending, this time Xiaohua is full of fear for the protagonist and prays not to kill it.

The next moment, eight consecutive knives cut it into pieces.

Everything seemed to be over, but at this moment, a person who made Jiang Ping stunned appeared.

Chara, the first human who fell into the underground world, was awakened from death.

Two choices appeared in front of him, to choose to destroy the world, and not to destroy.

Looking at the dead darkness, and the weird Chara.

Jiang Ping only felt extremely depressed.

At first he just wanted to know the plot of this ending.

He regretted it halfway through, but he didn't stop.

And now, this feeling of regret is even stronger.

So he chose no.

But the next moment Chara's expression became gloomy.

【You seem to have misunderstood something? When is it your turn to call the shots? 】

As Zara's words appeared, the knife light flashed.

The game screen trembled, and a series of 9999 blood-red damage numbers covered the screen.

Then the entire game automatically shuts down.

Is this the end of the genocide line?

Jiang Ping, who was sitting in front of the computer, took a deep breath and pursed his lips.
