National Game Producer

After a while, the game is downloaded.

Tang's mother didn't say anything and just clicked on the game.

She had already seen the initial interface of the game in the in-game screenshots on the store page.

However, it’s a feeling just looking at the screenshot.

Now that I see the real scenes in the game, it’s a different feeling.

When the exquisite and beautiful dusk forest scene in the picture completely "comes to life", combined with the ethereal, soft background music and female singing, it really gives people a dreamlike feeling like a fairy tale.

Mother Tang stayed on the initial interface for a moment, and then asked aloud:

"This background music and this female singing were all made by you alone?"

"Yeah." Tang Lin responded.

“Well done.”

Tang's mother did not hesitate to praise her, "And this scene is also very well done."

If only the pictures are good-looking, or the music is good-sounding, then the dreamy scene in the initial interface may not really impress people.

However, when the two are combined together, the complementary effect they produce is no longer as simple as 1+1=2.

'This is better than most games on the market...' Mother Tang made a silent judgment in her heart.

Click [Start Game] to open a new archive.

The next moment, the game screen did not jump directly, but seamlessly connected to the initial interface just now.

The game camera zoomed in slightly, and the dusk forest scene quickly turned into a dark night forest scene.

The wind was howling and thunderstorms were coming.

Only a big tree in the center of the distant picture is still emitting dazzling light.

[We will always remember that night, in that big storm, I lost Ori]

Accompanied by a completely incomprehensible male voice and the explanation of the subtitles, a shining leaf fell off the big tree and drifted into the distance with the wind.

"Is this the big glowing tree talking?" Mother Tang asked.

"She is a representative of nature, an ancient elf tree." Tang Lin explained.

This is actually not a spoiler.

This kind of explanation can better help the other party understand the plot.

Mother Tang nodded and said no more.

In the game.

The luminous leaves are still fluttering in the wind and rain.

In this plot performance, the background music and female singing were particularly prominent, which aroused Tang's mother's emotions almost instantly, making her involuntarily immersed in the atmosphere created by the game.

“The music is so well done!”

Tang Mu once again expressed her admiration.

When Tang Lin heard this, she couldn't help but purse her lips.

In fact, most of the music in this game was created under the guidance and explanation of He Ji, and it is not all the result of her own labor.

But being praised like this by her mother, she still felt a sense of accomplishment.

In the game.

The luminous leaves floated to a place where the wind and rain gradually stopped.

A black creature sitting on the edge of the cliff stood up curiously when it saw the glowing leaves floating past it.

At this point, the game enters the controllable stage.

Mother Tang controlled the black creature to move and jump twice, and then asked aloud:

"Does this little fat black guy have a name?"

Little fat black guy...

Tang Lin twitched the corners of her lips, and replied with some humor and helplessness: "It's called Naru."

"Oh..." Mother Tang responded, and continued to control the little fat Dunalu, jumping to the right.

It can be seen that she already seems to like this game.

...I don’t know if it’s because of the exquisite and beautiful graphics of the game, or because of my daughter’s music and singing, or because of this cute little creature in front of me?

Looking at her skillful operation, Tang Lin had more and more doubts in her heart, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Have you ever played a similar game before?"

"What are you talking about...Isn't it normal that I haven't played games before?" Tang's mother asked back.

"Well, I just want to ask why you are so skilled in operation..."

"Maybe it's because I just played "The Binding of Isaac" from "Firebringer" some time ago."

"ah?"

"Ah what, you don't know 'Firebringer'?"

"I know... I'm just wondering, why do you want to play that game?" Tang Lin was very puzzled.

You know, "The Binding of Isaac" is the most difficult game to get started among all the "Firebringer" games.

At the same time, it is also the most difficult game among all new types of games.

——After all, except for "The Binding of Isaac", there have never been any decent action games in this world.

"Oh, because I heard that it was a family ethics game that was quite educational, so I tried it and ended up playing it for dozens of hours without even realizing it." Tang's mother replied.

Family ethics game…

Tang Lin opened her mouth, but was speechless.

In a sense, there seems to be nothing wrong with this statement.

So, her mother is actually a game master?

The game continues.

Little Fatty Naru jumped up to a big tree.

The luminous leaves fell on the protruding tree roots and turned into a white luminous elf that looked like a cat and a rabbit.

"Is this Ori?" Mother Tang asked.

"Yeah." Tang Lin responded.

in the game.

Naru picked up the sleeping little Ori and adopted him in the tree hole of his home.

What follows is a warm and healing little plot.

Naru and little Ori lived happily together, playing around every day, building some suspension bridges, picking some fruits, and living a simple and fulfilling life.

One day.

The ancient elf tree in the center of the forest suddenly emitted a light that was several times more dazzling than before.

——She is releasing her power and trying to find Ori.

Seeing this unusual light, Naaru quickly picked up little Ori and hid in the tree hole, thus causing Ori to miss the opportunity to reunite with the ancient elf tree.

After that, the ancient elf tree that symbolized nature lost its light for some unknown reason, leaving only its withered trunk.

The whole nature is out of balance.

The forest fell into darkness, the trees withered and withered, the water sources were polluted and eroded, and everything began to die slowly.

Naaru left the last food to little Ori, but he himself starved to death.

Little Ori didn't know whether it was because of Naaru's death or other reasons, but he gradually became depressed. He staggered towards the unknown front in the forest until he lost the candle of life.

Fortunately, the Elf Ancient Tree found it at the last moment.

Background music singing the praises of life sounded quietly.

In the eternal darkness, little bits of light slowly bloomed around Ori.

The rays of light are clustered next to each other, like blooming fluorescent flowers.

These flowers composed of light slowly bloomed into the distance, and finally connected Ori and the ancient elven tree.

At this time, both the game's graphics and the game's music reached a certain extreme in an instant.

The strong impact brought by the perfect combination of pictures and music immediately left Tang's mother stunned.

At this moment, she seemed to really feel the power of life.

In the game, Ori accepted the remaining power of the ancient elf tree and regained his life.

And Tang Mu's emotions unconsciously increased with Ori's resurrection!

This game...

Just the opening scene made her a little bit unable to sit still!

Is this really a game that a few high school students can make?

Tang's mother couldn't help but take off her VR glasses and turned to look at her daughter beside her.

"What's wrong?" Tang Lin asked confused.

"Who designed this game?"

"Well, why bother."

"Is he the boy who came first in the national competition?"

"right."

"Where's the picture?"

"The girl who came first in the national competition and one of their friends."

"They are all high school students?" Tang's mother couldn't believe it.

"Well, there are five of us in total, and we are all still in our third year of high school." Tang Lin nodded.

"You are trying to..."

Mother Tang opened her mouth slightly, but she really couldn't find any suitable words to express her mood at the moment.

Are all children today already so awesome?

Compared with these high school students, I may be more like a young junior high school student, or an ignorant elementary school student.

…Can she still be a good parent?

"Mom, keep playing, the game has just begun." Tang Lin chuckled and pushed her shoulder.

She knew it when she saw the other party's reaction at this time.

As for continuing to work on the game, it's almost settled.

Just the opening scene shocked the other party to this point, then if you get to the "Escape [Silver Tree]" side...

She couldn't even imagine what it would be like then.

Mother Tang took a long breath and put on the VR glasses again.

After Little Ori is resurrected, the game officially begins.

The graphic style of this game is somewhat similar to "Hypoxia" that Tang Lin played before. They are both in a 2D horizontal version style.

It's just that "Oxoxia" is a business simulation game, while "Ori" is an action-adventure game.

Since it is an action-adventure game, it is naturally the same as "The Binding of Isaac", which tests the player's instantaneous reaction ability and operation ability.

Tang Lin originally thought that it would be difficult for a middle-aged player like her mother to get started with "Ori", but she didn't expect that after the other player spent ten minutes adapting to the operation, he started to play it well. .

Even after playing for a while, the other party will never forget to save the game.

'As expected of someone who has played "Isaac" for dozens of hours. He understands this game better than me...'

She muttered silently in her heart, and then said, "This game has many hidden elements, remember to explore more."

"Oh." Tang's mother responded and continued to concentrate on playing the game.

For her, who has never been exposed to this type of game, this game is really new in every aspect.

Compared with the "Isaac" she had played before, although the graphics of this game were obviously more beautiful and refined, the UI was surprisingly simple.

In the entire game screen, there are only a few circles of different sizes at the bottom of the screen, and the other locations are all normal scenes.

And the meanings represented by those circles of different sizes are quite clear.

The largest circle in the middle shows Ori's experience value and level;

The several small blue circles on the left side of the big circle represent the energy core, which can currently only be used to establish soul links, archive and learn ancient tree abilities;

The small green circles on the right side of the big circle represent the core of life, which is the blood volume of Little Ori.

With dozens of hours of "Isaac" as the basis, Tang Mu's current experience is definitely better than most players who have only played text AVG.

"Your classmate named He Chu is really good at designing games. Not only does he hide a lot of good things on the map, but he also allows us to gain experience by defeating monsters and learn so many elf abilities..."

Mother Tang was having so much fun that her tone of voice unconsciously lost its former dignity when she spoke.

"My music is also very good, and the graphics of the game are still so beautiful." Tang Lin couldn't help but try to gain a sense of presence for herself, Yu Suai and the others.

"Well, it's all good, it's all good." Mother Tang responded twice, with a rather perfunctory attitude.

Tang Lin wrinkled her face, but didn't say anything more.

She was afraid that she would annoy the other person and eventually make him change his mind.

The game continues.

Although the plot of the game has not yet officially begun, Mrs. Tang can easily think of it. The next step will definitely be for the players to investigate the truth behind the loss of light of the ancient elf trees and the process of saving the entire forest.

Although the story is simple, it is definitely not boring.

At least she is still looking forward to the future plot direction.

As the game progressed, various new game mechanisms and gameplay were constantly presented to her.

Map fragments and map stones, keystones and elf gates, energy gates that require fixed energy points to open, as well as various strange mechanisms and traps on the map... these things together constitute the weak puzzle elements of the game.

Elf fire, flying over walls, charged flames, double jump, slamming... these skills that can be obtained through the game process directly expand the areas Ori can go to.

The map in the game is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more places to explore.

The true charm of "Ori" is gradually revealed.

Tang's mother unknowingly became addicted to exploration, solving puzzles and fighting.

Because of this, she paid less and less attention to the game graphics and music.

until……

At ten o'clock in the evening, she controlled Ori to enter the [Silver Tree].

——This is the first true copy level in the game.

In the plot, the [Silver Tree] is the source of pollution in the forest water. Only by purifying the [Silver Tree] can the poisonous water in the forest be turned into clean water again.

"Finally here!" Tang Lin whispered excitedly.

"What finally happened?" Tang's mother was puzzled.

"It's nothing, just concentrate on playing." Tang Lin chuckled.

Nearly an hour later.

Tang Mu completed the task of purifying the [Silver Tree].

The [Silver Tree] regained its vitality, and clean water began to continuously generate inside the tree.

Next, is the most classic and most torturous escape gameplay in the "Ori" series.

Players need to constantly use slamming (ejection), flying over walls, double jumps, etc. to control Ori Parkour to avoid the rising water, and finally escape from the top of the [Silver Tree].

Any mistakes in this process may cause Ori to be swallowed by the water.

Listening to the suddenly exciting background music, Tang's mother instantly entered a state of concentration.

She has also realized that she should have reached the first climax in the game.
