I! game designer! Crying players all over the world!

Because there are only a few screenshots and a few seconds of video.

Most netizens don't believe that there is such a game.

[If there is, it's already so popular, why hasn't the maker released

the game yet?] [Yes, yes, there really is this game, why not release it

? This is a scam! As a result, you whites still believe it!] [Hahaha, I'm laughing to death, don't you really believe that the video in those seconds is a game record? As a professional, I tell you that the game in the video is impossible to make!]

Why do you say you can't do it! There are screenshots to prove

it!] [Heh, then I'll tell you why!If this game is made by a Chinese designer, it's not realistic at all! Whether it's art design or action design, it's not at the level of a Chinese designer! Unless it's a foreign designer to do this! But it's impossible for a foreign designer to make this kind of national style game! So this game must not exist!

] One is called [West Brazil] 's netizens directly spoke at length, leaving everyone speechless.

At the same time, it also attracted the attention of many netizens with the same views.

After all, there is some truth in his words.

This kind of game, if it was made by those big manufacturers, would have been exposed a long time ago.

And if it was done by a small workshop, it should be exposed if it is so popular now.

Coupled

with the game itself, you can see how well made it is through a few seconds of video and screenshots.

For all these reasons, this kind of game simply can't exist!

" Yo, there is a bit of logic to put it mildly.

Lin Mo, who hadn't taken off yet, saw [West Brazil]'s remarks, and a smile appeared on his face.

To be honest, he didn't want to bother with the online bickering.

However, [West Brazil] made him change his mind a little bit.

Originally, Lin Mo's plan was to wait until he got his professional certificate to release "The Great Witch" worldwide.

But now it seems that his plans may be about to change a little.

"It doesn't affect anything, it's a demo version anyway.

Lin Mo made a decision in his heart.

The "Great Witch Beta Version" he gave to various test players actually only opened a large map, and it could only challenge three bosses at most.

In addition, there are still four large maps that have not been opened for the full version of "Great Witch"!,

so Lin Mo can completely replace "Great Witch: Beta Version" with a demo version and release it.

It also does not affect the full version of "The Great Witch".

And it can also give everyone a result of the quarrel on the Internet now.

"It seems that there is no problem, just do it!" the

corners of Lin Mo's mouth curled slightly.

He also wants to see what everyone's reaction will be after the "Great Witch Trial Version" comes out.

Do you still think that there is no such indie game in Huaguo?

So Lin Mo took his mobile phone and tinkered.

However, Lin Mo didn't find it at this moment.

Just as he was looking down and tinkering with his phone, a young man with curly hair and a shawl sat next to him.

"Eh, classmate Lin......"

A hint of surprise flashed in Duanmuhai's heart.

However, he didn't say hello directly.

Because Lin Mo seemed to be busy with something.

After Duanmuhai put down his luggage, he glanced at Lin Mo's mobile phone twice.

"Oh, it's a new game. "

The Great Witch ......"

"Looks like a game with a mythological theme.

Duanmuhai still didn't say anything, retracting his gaze.

He is a very polite person and does not deliberately bother others.

And it's someone else's privacy.

He also accidentally saw it just now.

Duanmuhai waited for Lin Mo to finish his work.

Lin Mo just changed the name of the test package, and it didn't take much time.

Soon, Lin Mo got the "Great Witch Trial Version" out and posted it on the Internet through his [Anonymous] account.

And at this very moment.

The news of the plane's imminent departure was broadcast to individual passengers.

Lin Mo heard the sound of the radio and hurriedly turned on the airplane mode on his mobile phone.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo noticed the passenger beside him.

"Senior Duanmuhai! What a coincidence!" Lin

Mo was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that he would be able to meet his senior.

However, Duanmuhai has graduated a long time ago and is now working in Minglan Studio.

Minglan Studio is also a studio invested by Goose Factory.

However, just like Shengyun Studio, there is only the right to income, not a complete controlling stake.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. Duanmuhai smiled and said, "I accidentally saw the game on your phone just now, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, if you see it, you can see it.

Lin Mo didn't have any opinions.

He smiled and asked, "How is the senior's work lately?"

Duanmuhai said: "It's not bad, Minglan Studio gave me a chance to be in charge of the project alone, and the development has been completed immediately." "

Hmm, then you plan to go abroad ......

" "Oh, I want to take a vocational certificate, the Global Game Council's professional certificate is very valuable, which will help my future career development.

Duanmuhai didn't hide anything, and directly said his plans for this trip.

"That's such a coincidence! I also want to take the vocational certificate this time!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

There was a hint of surprise in Duanmuhai's eyes.

He asked, "Lin is still in his sophomore year, right?

"

Are you...... Oh yes, you're in Yanhuang Studio now, no wonder.

Duanmuhai suddenly remembered this.

Yanhuang Studio is well-known in the Chinese game industry.

Thinking of this, a trace of strangeness flashed in Duanmu Hai's eyes.

Lin Mo and several of his friends, all of whom have not yet graduated, were able to create Yanhuang Studio.

And he is in Minglan Studio, which is just getting started.

In the entire game world, there is not much fame.

Compared with.

He's going to be a lot weaker.

"The game that Lin said he wanted to release globally is the "Great Witch" you just had on your phone?"

Duanmuhai asked bluntly with some curiosity.

"That's right, it's "The Great Witch", after I finish the certificate, I guess I will start the plan for a global release.

Lin Mo didn't hide anything.

Anyway, he has already sent it out through the account of [Anonymous].

After getting off the plane, Duanmuhai should be able to see it.

And he wasn't worried that Duanmuhai would reveal his identity.

As a senior, Lin Mo is also very clear.

He can definitely be regarded as a decent gentleman,

so Lin Mo doesn't mind revealing anything to him.

"It's good that Lin is so young that he can release a game on a global scale.

"Even if it's with some foreign game design geniuses, it's not bad at all.

"I guess in a few years, I'll probably have to go to you and beg for food."

Duanmuhai made a little joke.

"No problem. Lin Mo responded and said, "If the senior wants to come to Yanhuang Studio, I will definitely welcome you!" "

Hahaha, that's okay, I'll really think about it."

"Mmmm, despite consideration, you are definitely welcome!" Lin

Mo and Duanmu Hai became happier the more they chatted.

And Duanmuhai does have two brushes.

He is a game design genius at Qingfeng University for many years.

Many times, some of Duanmuhai's design concepts surprised even Lin Mo.

And Lin Mo also shared some of his game design concepts with Duanmuhai.

After Duanmuhai heard this, he was far more shocked than Lin Mo.

"The 2D sandbox map for free exploration, as well as the integration of RPG elements such as equipment, props, and ability upgrades, is the effect of this game really good?"

Duanmuhai couldn't help but ask.

Just now, Lin Mo shared the characteristics of Metroidvania type games with Duanmu Hai.

As soon as Duanmuhai heard about this innovation, he immediately became interested.

In the past, most of the 2D side-scrolling games had a fixed flow and would not go back to the previous map.

According to Lin Mo's narration, the 2D sandbox map of this innovative type of game is completely open!

To put it simply, it means that you find a new area, you can't enter it, you have to have a skill, and then return to this place and enter the new area through the skill.

This is the design concept of the "Ability Lock".

The "Ability Lock" is the key to the map level, and through clever level design, players will explore all corners of the map many times.

That's one of the characteristics of Metroidvania-like games – loop exploration

, which creates a loop of experience in the game that sets up puzzles, finds abilities, and solves puzzles.

In order to realize such a design concept, it is necessary to make the map design of the game itself a world that extends in all directions.

It allows players to explore freely.

As for Lin Mo, he knew very well in his heart that this was the design concept of "Metroidvania".

However, in this world, there are no Metroidvania games.

So this is his original design concept!

and in the face of Duanmuhai's question.

Lin Mo said with a smile: "Of course there are such games, and the "Great Witch" I just developed uses the corresponding design concept. "

Oh, then I'll have to study it!"

Duanmuhai's eyes lit up.

Now that Lin Mo has already appeared with the product of the corresponding concept, he plans to see with his own eyes how such a game is.

"Well, it's okay, it's just an indie game.

Lin Mo said modestly.

Duanmuhai nodded and smiled.

He also thinks that "The Great Witch" should be just a small game.

After all, new ideas have just emerged.

How could there be a mature work directly?

So he didn't think much about Lin Mo's modesty.

And at the moment.

Huaguo Internet, game-related pages.

"The Great Witch Demo Version" has been on the top of the hot search by many players

!【I'll go!This game is real!It's awesome!】【

I just tried the demo version for half an hour, and I can only describe it in one word

- grass!】[Don't grass upstairs, this game is so fun!I've never played such an interesting 2D side-scrolling game!The map is also too big!And you can re-explore!There is also a ...... of boss and character control].

Tens of thousands of replies instantly appeared under the "Great Witch Trial Version" released by [Anonymous].

And the number of downloads has exceeded 500,000 in an instant!

You know, now Lin Mo's plane has just taken off.

He sent out the "Great Witch Demo Version", and it didn't take long.

A demo version of the game can directly exceed 500,000.

This directly left a group of indie game designers dumbfounded.

Out of curiosity, they also downloaded the "Great Witch Demo Version" and tried to play it.

As a result, I don't know if I don't play it, and this game is shocking!

For example, Feng Dongming, a well-known independent game designer in China.

He was also a genius at making indie games that sold over a million copies.

But now I'm old, thirty-five years old.

Before he officially started playing "The Great Witch Demo", he actually didn't think so.

After all, he has been in this industry for so many years, and he has never seen any kind of indie game.

What innovation has he never thought of?

Indie games have always been characterized by a lot of innovation.

Feng Dongming didn't think that "Dawu Trial Version" could surprise him.

Until he officially started the game, after defeating the first cloud sea boss, he obtained the "Ability Lock" air stagnation skill.

Feng Dongming reacted suddenly.

"Isn't this a demo version of the game?, how can there be other maps!"

Feng Dongming's eyes widened, staring at the computer.

At this moment, he has already controlled the game character and successfully landed in the desolate land through the air suspension skill.

"This map extent...... It's a bit outrageous, isn't it?"

Feng Dongming was stunned.

This is also too big!

He originally thought that the level of the sea of clouds was already very big.

In this case

, the map of the sea of clouds is just a small map? Those

bosses before he defeated the Golden-winged Dapeng Bird are actually just elite monsters?

I'll go! This [anonymous] is simply going to kill people!

It's just an indie game, why do you do it with such a conscience!"

"

This game is just a trial version, how can it directly open up the desolate land?"

"Isn't this the official version?"

Feng Dongming was a little puzzled.

However, this game is very interesting and has so many elements that he can't stop.

So soon, Feng Dongming put his troubles behind his mind and began to experience this indie game seriously, and

waited for him to die dozens of times at the hands of the second map boss.

Feng Dongming finally couldn't help it and ran to the Internet to find a strategy.

And this search, he really discovered the essence of the game "The Great Witch

"!"It turns out that there are five big maps!

""The desolate land, it's just one of the big maps!" "

In addition, there are four big maps that are not available in the demo version."

"No wonder it's just the "Great Witch Trial Version", after a long time, it's really a trial version!"

"But this process is too terrifying, isn't

it?" "It doesn't add up to fifty hours to start?"

Feng Dongming couldn't help but secretly speak.

There are five large maps about "The Great Witch", which were discovered by a programmer in the source code.

However, in the "Great Witch Trial Version", Lin Mo has already deleted all the other four major map processes.

So you can only see a little trace.

Players don't know what the map is, what bosses they have, and what new skills they are.

But even so, the "Great Witch Trial Version" has made players have no opinions! Because just in the demo version, players explore the desolate land

, and they don't finish for dozens of hours! And there are some careful players who find that

in the trial version, as long as they don't defeat the third boss, they can continue to play!

This makes all kinds of hidden elements of the "Great Witch Trial Version"

gradually discovered by them.

At the same time in the process.

Feng Dongming also discovered a hidden element, or rather a hidden passage.

"There's even a hidden passage in this place

!" "This is too hidden, isn't it?" "

If I hadn't analyzed it from the designer's point of view, I wouldn't have found it!" Feng

Dongming controlled the game character and stood in front of a coffin.

This coffin, he thought it was a background map at first.

But Feng Dongming, who is an independent game designer, subconsciously feels a little awkward.

It stands to reason that the style design of the surrounding map scene is completely inconsistent with this coffin.

So Feng Dongming used various methods to launch various attacks on this coffin.

Suddenly, he takes control of the game character and performs a newfound skill.

Somewhat similar to a skill like the Time Chain.

After casting, the player controls the character as they move, leaving a colored trail on the ground for a short duration.

After the player triggers the Time Chain skill again, the game character will instantly return to the starting point of the skill.

To put it simply, it is a skill effect related to time rewinding.

Feng Dongming experimented a few times at first, but he didn't succeed in triggering the coffin.

However, just when he was about to give up, he casually opened the Time Chain skill, and wanted to leave this area.

As soon as he walked out of the area, he made a fool of himself and once again triggered the Time Chain skill.

After all,

the effect of the Time Chain is to return to its original position after the second trigger.

This one turned out to be.

Directly let his game character penetrate the coffin and enter a completely new place!

"This is ......"

Feng Dongming looked at the scene in front of him blankly.

The sky is full of stars.

The stars are shining and shining in this night sky.

Between the changes of light and shadow, the colors collide layer by layer.

His character travels through a vast galaxy and suddenly falls to the ground, suspended in the starry sky.

"it!Hide the map!" Feng

Dongming quickly reacted, he should have accidentally entered the hidden map.

However, there are no creeps on this map.

What's the use?

Feng Dongming had doubts in his heart, and began to control the game character, and started dancing in the starry sky.

What is Hopping Music?

Simply put, it is to beat the level by jumping.

However, the jumping music of the game "The Great Witch" is different.

In addition to the jump buttons, you can also use the attack buttons to slash down some jumps and move.

And the starry sky map that Feng Dongming is coming to now, the difficulty of the jumping platform is a bit exaggerated.

"Hey, that's too hard, isn't it

?" "How can I jump over here?"

Feng Dongming frowned.

Although "The Great Witch" also had some jumps before, it was easy to get through.

But

why is

it so difficult to design, is there any rare props that can't be made after passing the level?
