Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Looking at the dumbfounded staff, Chen Xu smiled and didn't explain anything.

Chen Xu had a reason for such a request.

And this is related to one of the two games that Chen Xu will make next.

After confirming some basic matters with the staff, Chen Xu was going to order a meal in the canteen area on the other side of the exhibition.

At this time, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind: "Chen Xu, your Nebula Games also participated in this gameplay exhibition!"

Chen Xu turned his head and glanced at Meng Zuo, who had a relationship with the sci-fi expedition last year.

When NetDragon wanted to acquire Nebula Games, it was Chen Xu who contacted him.

"Yes, I was invited to participate." Chen Xu smiled and nodded.

"The performance of 'House Kitchen' is very good, especially the new version of the updated creative workshop, which is a masterpiece." Meng Zuo had a smile on his face, and he came up with a commercial tout.

Listening to Meng Zuo's words, Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, but for a while he didn't understand why the other party was so enthusiastic.

Subconsciously, Chen Xu also wanted to blow business back to each other.

After all, someone has blown you away, so you have to pay back, right?

But just after the idea came to him, Chen Xu discovered a slightly embarrassing thing, that is, what games the other party had developed after the previous sci-fi expedition, he had not paid attention to it at all.

"Well... Teacher Meng is also the same! The third chapter of "Heroes of the Galaxy" performed very well!" Chen Xu paused for two or three seconds, and boasted with a smile on his face.

These words are so familiar, as if they had heard them somewhere, Meng Zuo was stunned for a moment before reacting.

and many more! Isn't this sentence the same thing that the other party and him bragged about during the sci-fi competition last year?

It's been half a year, but your impression of me is still this sentence! ?

You must know that in the past few months, he lost to "Going to the Moon" in the sci-fi expedition. It can be said that he wanted to avenge that 'one-shot revenge' all the time.

Even the investment department of NetDragon came to him and hoped that he could contact Nebula Games to discuss the acquisition intention, and he felt a wave of discomfort in his heart.

After all, even at that time, he had already successfully participated in and was in charge of a major project under NetDragon by virtue of his previous qualifications for the second prize of the Science Fiction Tournament.

But if Nebula Games is acquired, will everyone become colleagues?

And the more critical point is that when Nebula Games is acquired as a subsidiary of NetDragon, the other party will have more freedom than him in terms of status and resources.

But fortunately, in the end, the two parties could not reach a unity in this acquisition and it fell through.

In his mind, he had made up for countless meetings.

How to speak, how to raise a topic, and what tone of voice to use.

But the most uncomfortable thing is that he regards one person as his enemy, while the other person doesn't take himself to heart at all.

‘Today you don’t care about me, but tomorrow I amaze you! ’

In his heart, he encouraged himself silently, and Meng Zuo looked at the exhibition area.

"This is the exhibition area of ​​your company, Mr. Chen, yes! This is the largest independent game area, right?" Meng Zuo said with a surprised expression.

"It's okay." Chen Xu nodded politely with a smile.

"By the way, take the liberty to ask, this time, Mr. Chen and your Nebula Games, will there be new projects brought to the exhibition?" Meng Zuo asked.

"According to the progress, there will be two games that will be open to players to try out during the exhibition." These are not secrets that cannot be told. After all, it is only two months away from the exhibition, and they will be made public by then. Yes, so Chen Xu simply said a few words.

"That's it, then I can experience your new game, Mr. Chen, for the first time." Meng Zuo smiled and expressed his expectation.

"Welcome, does Teacher Meng also have a new work this time?" Chen Xu asked.

Meng Zuo looked light and calm on the surface, with a smile: "Yes, I have been in charge of a big project under NetDragon during this time, and this exhibition is mainly for this project."

After a long chat, the two chatted on the spot for about ten minutes before separating.

Walking outside the stadium, Chen Xu turned his head to look at Meng Zuo, who was still smiling at him shaking his hand, feeling a little curious in his heart.

This guy is too enthusiastic.

Are they really his loyal fans?

And Meng Zuo in the exhibition hall was also emotional.

"Hey, although I really want to have a showdown with you, Chen Xu, this time is a completely unfair confrontation. The highlight of this exhibition must be our NetDragon."

"Two new games? It may be a tortuous road to launch." Meng Zuo sighed.

How many times in the past few months he has thought about seeing Chen Xu and how he can use to wash away the regret of losing the first prize of Zhengyou.

But now, he has some sympathy for Chen Xu.

This is the first time I participated in such a large-scale exhibition, and I exhausted my efforts to prepare two new works, just to make a name for myself at the exhibition.

But luck was bad, and they happened to meet NetDragon, who was eyeing this exhibition, and Tenghua had to make a big move.

The war between the two giants in the industry has brought disaster to Chiyu.

Time is also fate!

………………

I don't know exactly what's going on in someone's mind.

After leaving the pavilion, deal with an afternoon meal.

In the afternoon, Chen Xu drove back to Nebula Games, and then continued to write the design concept drafts of the next two games.

And the next two games that Chen Xu is going to make.

A strategy card board game with the background of the Three Kingdoms, a variety show game.

"Three Kingdoms Kill" and "Jelly Bean Man".

Among them, "Three Kingdoms Kill" can be said to be the easiest from a development perspective.

Because the core of this game is the gameplay and values, and even in this game, Chen Xu doesn't need to use the memory capsule to know the values.

As for the other "Jelly Bean Man", many players in the previous life called it the battle royale.

In fact, this game has nothing to do with the elements of the battle royale, except that there is only one winner in the end.

And if a game with only one winner is a battle royale game.

That covers too many aspects.

Strictly speaking, this is a variety show game that is suitable for all ages.

And in the parallel world, many local satellite TVs have such similar programs.

This naturally also adds some advantages to "Jelly Bean".

In choosing these two games, Chen Xu also made some considerations.

After all, the most direct and effective way for users who want to stabilize the Nebula game platform after "Naughty Kitchen" is to continue to launch corresponding multiplayer games on the platform.

The two games "Three Kingdoms Kill" and "Jelly Bean Man" are very in line with their characteristics.

In the case of "Three Kingdoms Killing", it was born 13 years ago from the online killing in the previous life. During this period, there is still a large market under the various slapstick operations of the game card, and occasionally it can reach the sales volume of the appstore in the previous life, which shows that its vitality is tenacious.

As for "Jelly Bean Man", it is actually the same as "Naughty Kitchen", in the case that the continuous operation of the fresh version cannot be guaranteed.

This is a fast-food hot tour.

However, this is not a derogatory sense. You must know that if you want to become a fast-food hot game, not every game can do it.

At the same time, this game is very suitable for the current Nebula game platform.

In terms of commercial performance, it is such a game. In the previous life, the Steam single platform sold over 10 million in the first month, although the times create heroes.

The variety show itself has a somewhat outdoor nature, and the environment in which the world was caught up in the epidemic at that time had a certain impact.

But the fundamental reason is that its game has distinct characteristics, and there are no similar competing products on the market, which can be described as thriving.

In addition to choosing this game, there is another important reason.

That is, Chen Xu felt that he needed to improve his impression in the players' minds.

An "Escape" and a "Cheat Kitchen", albeit a hit.

But he has suffered a bit of persecution for his reputation!

Harvesting the player's emotional points cannot rely on resentment alone.

The leek can't be shaved off the roots.

So now is also the time to bring a game of real joy.
