Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 288 192. There is another chapter in the evening

Noboru Uesugi led the team to choose the first level.

After pressing OK.

Several Pokémon jumped up and jumped in.

Bada.

The little star flickered, and then the entire game screen switched.

[First level: Bee farm]

The camera gives a bird's-eye view from the air——

A green farm with many fruit trees, and guards walking among the trees and grass. Sweet bees patrolled back and forth to protect the orchard.

But from the black smoke rising from the numerous Sweet Bees, we can probably tell that they must have been infected by the so-called virus.

The cheerful BGM started ringing.

Several children operated their Pokémon to move forward from the starting point.

Since it is a multiplayer game, the game becomes a multiplayer perspective that cannot be rotated.

This multiplayer perspective consists of two parts. One is the camera control area set in different areas of each level for control.

The other part is the program written to correct the camera based on the number of people in the team and their position.

To put it simply, it is to find a central camera position that allows all players to find their own images on the screen without causing some players to disappear off the screen.

In other words, for most games, the player is likely to be always in the center of the screen. For example, in single-player games such as FPS and TPS, no matter how you turn the camera, unless you reach the edge of the map and are blocked The object will be stuck, otherwise it will keep you at the center point to ensure the maximum openness of the field of vision.

For multiplayer games, the center position of the camera is likely to be deviated. If it is a triangle formed by three people, then the center position of the camera is likely to be at the center point of the triangle, rather than centered on a certain player. .

The advantage of this is that it takes into account the experience of each player.

For side-scrolling games, it's even simpler. I don't take care of anyone, I just move back according to the progress of the game, so this is also called a time scroll game.

This was the first time for everyone to experience such a fresh 3D puzzle game, so they were extremely happy.

…

"Pika pika~"

Noboru Uesugi controlled Pikachu and walked at the front of the team.

The A button attacks and the B button jumps.

You can move using the joystick or D-pad.

But after playing for less than 10 seconds, Noboru Uesugi had already discovered——

The joystick is much easier to use than the D-pad in this game.

The cross keys can basically only control movement in four directions, while the joystick will be more precise and also bring about a huge improvement in sensitivity.

This allows him to perform behaviors that are usually difficult to control when avoiding monsters, such as walking in circles or running in a diagonal direction.

Become extremely flexible in action.

But this kind of flexibility was something he had never experienced in previous games.

"This is the first time I feel that the PS controller is so easy to use."

"Yes, yes. It turns out that the function of the joystick is like this. I used to complain that the cross keys are enough, why do we have to make it so complicated."

For children, the weight of the handle is definitely more sensitive than adults, so many children did not like Sony's dual joystick handle in the past.

But now, they all have changed their views on this controller because of Pokémon 3D, which has completely subverted their knowledge for so many months.

…

So far, everyone's Pokémon has only one initial skill.

For example, Noboru Uesugi's Pikachu now only has one Lightning Strike.

It will release a circle of small lightning around Pikachu. If it can touch the enemy, it can defeat the enemy.

As soon as we climbed up the hillside, a sweet bee flew towards us.

Noboru Uesugi pressed the A button, and Sweet Bee was hit by lightning, and then made a fainting motion, falling from the air to the ground and shattering into a ball of air.

The entire [Bee Farm] is a small maze level. As a novice, the first level can be said to be very simple. During this process, the Pokémon can also get some corresponding props on the trees or in the treasure chests to help. pass.

The four friends were very involved in the game. Just after passing the first small corner, Fat Bear found a large metal treasure box. When he opened it, his Charmander immediately changed his appearance——

Four balloons of different colors were tied to Charmander's body, and then the Charmander flew up.

Corresponding operation instructions also appeared on the screen: [Press the L key to go up and the R key to go down. 】

"Wow, there are actually balloons!!"

"Oh my God! I can fly!"

"My Charmander can fly!"

"You can fly even before you evolve!"

Charmander itself does not have the ability to fly. This is true in Pokémon animation and game design. It is only after evolving into Charizard that it has wings.

And now, with balloons tied to your body, you can fly without evolving. Can you believe it?

Seeing Fat Bear's Charmander flying, the other friends also looked extremely surprised.

"Oh my God, Fat Bear, your Charmander can actually fly?!"

"How do you do it? I want to fly too!" Squirtle's owner Skinny Monkey also shouted anxiously.

"Open the treasure box. After opening the treasure box, balloons will come out. If there are balloons, you can fly!" Fat Bear shouted loudly.

"Ah! I want to pop up a balloon too."

"I want to play with balloons too!"

The children were immediately impressed by pokeni's creativity.

They were all scrambling to get some balloons to play with.

Children's happiness is so simple.

Not only does it have a balloon prop, but it also successfully revitalized the shoulder button design of the controller through this prop.

This time, Fat Bear realized the subtleties of this handle design through his own personal experience.

The seemingly redundant buttons and joysticks are now put to use, making your hands feel particularly natural and the operation extremely smooth.

There's almost nothing to complain about except that it's a little heavy.

At the same time, Fat Bear was also controlling his little fire dragon to fly high.

There are several scattered golden star fragments on the rocky ground above, in addition to a large green five-pointed star.

"Pentagram! There is a green five-pointed star!"

Fat Bear shouted.

Several other friends were also very excited, "Look, what is the use of the five-pointed star!"

The fat bear received the order, nodded happily, and rushed towards the five-pointed star.

Jingle bell.

As the cheerful sound effects sounded, the five-pointed star flew directly to the upper left corner of the interface after being obtained.

Only then did everyone discover that there were three five-pointed star-shaped white patterns in that position, and one of them turned green.

Star fragments are used to increase points and will be used to rank Pokémon players in the future, while the five-pointed stars are important props used to unlock subsequent levels.

In this process, the most important thing is to collect the small green five-pointed stars, because all subsequent levels require five-pointed stars to unlock.

The further you go, the greater the number of five-pointed stars required.

"Oh, it turns out it's useless." Fat Bear said.

What everyone was actually thinking was whether the pentagram would be some kind of magical prop that could strengthen Pokémon or change behavior patterns like a balloon, but they didn't expect it to be of any use.

Although the friends were a little disappointed, they still looked very happy.

"Come on! Let's see who reaches the finish line first!"

…

Who knew that Fat Bear had not experienced it for long, and his hands were not yet warm to the touch. As soon as he flew up to pick up something, the balloon was popped by two Sweet Bees flying over, and the Charmander fell out of the air shortly after. down.

"Ah! Damn it, my balloon is gone!"

The other children laughed slightly.

Children's happiness is so simple and pure. Sometimes they can laugh for a long time when they see you fall down on the street.

At this moment, another friend Reiko discovered another prop.

An elf appeared in the treasure chest. To be precise, it was a small ball of light. Just like the night elf in Warcraft, its whole body was shining with light.

After emerging from the treasure chest, this little thing was restless and kept running to other places.

A trace of surprise flashed in Reiko's eyes.

Nani?

Still alive?

And you ran away as soon as you came out?

How can this work?

After all, Reiko was also an [experienced] gamer. Without saying a word, she quickly controlled Bulbasaur and chased after him.

Duangduangduang!

As soon as he ate the ball of light, Bulbasaur's size quickly grew.

The implementation of this function is also very simple. It is to enlarge the model year-on-year, and then use the program to make a difference transition to complete the enlargement effect within one second.

But the response was surprisingly good.

As soon as she ate it, Reiko was so surprised that her eyes almost fell out.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Look at me, look at me!"

"My Bulbasaur is getting so big!"

It's hard for other friends not to notice this [giant] Bulbasaur.

Because it is so big, the image of Bulbasaur alone occupies almost half of the screen. In front of him, Pikachu is as pitiful as a small seed.

"Quack! It's so awesome! It's up to me to show off next!"

Reiko let out a strange cry from her mouth and controlled Bulbasaur to stride forward.

In order to match the huge transformation effect, pokeni also made the ground shake and the corresponding effect, and every time Bulbasaur advances, there is a feeling of earth shaking.

After becoming gigantic, Bulbasaur is also invincible for a certain period of time.

Enemies stepped on and touched by it were defeated and disappeared.

So the next short section of the level can be said to be quite easy, with Reiko opening the way in front, which can be said to be unscrupulous.

After running a few steps, Reiko exclaimed: "Ah! Ah!"

On the screen, the ground of Bulbasaur suddenly cracked, and then its huge body fell from the cracked ground.

The friends were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped.

"Huh?! What happened?"

"You can still fall!?"

But the next second, Uesugi Noboru and Skinny Monkey burst into laughter.

Because this scene is so funny for children, the [chubby] Bulbasaur fell into the ground because it was [too heavy].

It's like seeing a guy slip and fall on the street.

But not long after they started laughing, everyone exclaimed again, "Reiko, look, there is a passage below, you keep going forward! Hurry up and go forward!"

It turns out that all this was designed by pokeni——

After becoming huge, the passage to the underground level can be opened due to [weight].

But if you don't eat this treasure chest, you won't be able to discover the secret.

Sure enough, in the second underground floor, Reiko found the second lesson of the five-pointed star.

"Awesome!" Reiko laughed happily.

"I didn't expect the second five-pointed star to be hidden in a place like this."

"Hmm, that's so interesting!"

"How interesting!"

Everyone cheered.

The laughter in the room can be described as deafening.

Uesugi's parents, who were watching TV and drinking tea below, couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this.

Seeing the mother who was about to get up and go upstairs to teach the children, Uesugi's father quickly held her down:

"Forget it, it's summer vacation soon, and it's still the weekend, let's keep the kids happy."

…

After getting the third five-pointed star, several friends successfully passed the first level.

At the end of this level, in order to increase the sense of ritual of passing the level, pokeni designed to add a [Purification Gem]. When you finally reach the end and obtain the Purification Gem, this level is considered over, and at the same time, the screen Pokémon will all make victory signs, which is very celebratory.

Purification gems are also set to match the world view of the 3D world. As long as 7 purification gems are collected, the entire world of Portela can be changed and the world can be restored to its original appearance.

"Great! Let's attack the second level!"

Everyone raised their right hands.

The second level is called the Magic Forest. The monsters in the forest have changed from the sweet bees in the first level to fruit-gnawing worms.

There will naturally be more trees in the forest. With balloons, you can fly from the top of the trees.

Moreover, the entire magic forest has a level structure with height and levels. Some large trees can be as high as three stories high.

If you don't have a balloon, you have to climb up the hillside so you can jump to the top of the tree.

In addition to fruit-gnawing bugs, there are also orb spiders.

The existence of these two Pokémon enemies suddenly raised the difficulty of the game by several levels.

The orb spider will suddenly fall from the tree. There will be a small filament in the middle of the screen, and it will fall along the small filament.

You'll get hit by it if you're not careful.

It’s really hard to guard against.

Fruit-gnawing bugs are even more deceptive.

Fruit-gnawing bugs may disguise themselves as apples, and you can actually earn points by eating real apples in this level. But if you accidentally get a [fake apple], then the fake apple will shake twice first. Then it turns around, reveals the bug part and attacks the players.

"Ah! How terrible!"

Noboru Uesugi let out an exclamation.

Then he was bitten by a fruit-gnawing bug, and then Pikachu quickly shrank in size.

Degenerated into the form of Pichu.

Pichu is a small, light yellow mouse Pokémon with pink electricity-storing sacs in its cheeks. There are black patterns around its ears, and its tail is also black.

After evolving, it becomes Pikachu.

But now, Uesugi Noboru, who was bitten for the first time, suddenly turned into this little guy, and he didn't even react for a while.

"Oh my god! I can actually become smaller?!"

"Kekeke..."

The friends were rolling on the bed with laughter, holding their stomachs.

There is another chapter tonight.

In addition: Deeply mourning that the author passed away due to lung cancer in July's new episode

He is the same editor as me. Although we didn’t have much contact, it’s still a bit sad to see a young author disappear.

At the same time, you must also encourage yourself to exercise well and write more favorite works for readers while staying healthy.

Thank you all.
