After completing the concept draft of "Two People Go Together", the entire team began to operate efficiently.
Such as characters and related actions, these art materials have been produced years ago.
At present, the team's main work is focused on scene levels and plot performances.
His own warehouse, the big tree in the yard, the eroded garden, the snow globe of his first love, the medieval castle made of Lego toys...
Chen Xu explained to Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue the characteristics of each theme scene in the game.
These themed scenes are not just a scene in the game, but also symbolize the different changes in the mental journeys of the two protagonists Xiaomei and Cody in the game.
"The level of the Cuckoo Alarm Clock needs to have a sharp metallic feel. At the same time, the functions of the special props in this level are time-based, implying that Cody and Xiaomei can start over."
"The snow globe is a metaphor for the relationship between Cody and Xiaomei. The relationship between the two people was once as hot as a flame, but now it is like the scene in the snow globe, completely frozen."
"But the iceberg bursting at the end of the snow globe level is also a metaphor, indicating that there is hope that the ice that has frozen the relationship between Xiaomei and Cody can be broken."
"The magnets in this level also show that the relationship between Cody and Xiaomei has begun to get closer and closer, from repulsion to attraction at the beginning."
Chen Xu described every scene in great detail, ensuring that Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue could understand the effect he wanted.
The requirements of the scene and the profound meaning of the plot are fully displayed.
There is no need to rack your brains to consider too many things, just follow the ready-made requirements and make some detailed modifications through Chen Xu's brief draft.
There is no need to do second or third editions, and then push back the previous work.
Even though this was not the first time I had experienced this, and I had already experienced it deeply during the development of "Dark Soul", the employees in the art team were very moved.
With such a work experience, not to mention that the salary at Nebula Games is not low, even if it is lower than the average, there is still no reason to leave.
… … …
While the development process of "Two Players" is advancing little by little, many players in major player forums and communities are also a little confused and have no way to fall into the game drought.
Although some game companies have launched new games during this period, the "Dark Soul" two years ago and the two VR masterpieces from Tenghua and NetDragon have already whetted their appetites.
"It's boring! Do you have any new game recommendations?"
"No, the recently launched models don't look that good!"
"There is no way. Although some studios under Tenghua and NetDragon have new works, I don't think the quality is very good."
"Yeah, there was a "Kitchen" at this time last year, but there is nothing this year."
"Don't mention "Kitchen Kitchen", because I've been washing dishes in "Kitchen Kitchen" for a year!"
"Speaking of which, it's already the New Year, why hasn't Chen Xu made any move?"
"Yes, the manufacturers at the previous annual game events all had previews of new games, but Chen Xu has not made any news at all. Except for the new mode of "Dark Soul", he has not held back a single thing until now."
"I'm probably waiting for the ultimate move. The sequel to "Dark Souls" might be coming soon!"
"Dark Souls is too difficult. I would rather play some family-friendly games, such as Fall Beans."
Not only is it being discussed among players in major communities, Chen Xu’s official blog also has people asking about the follow-up Nebula game project news every day.
There are quite a few players who are looking forward to the sequel of "Dark Souls".
Looking at the various Aite players, Chen Xu thought about it and decided to reveal some news.
Then he sent an official blog with the following content.
'A new game is already being made, a cooperative game for couples, a game that allows you to feel the warmth and friendship. There will be the latest news on Valentine's Day, so look forward to it. '
Then Chen Xu also added a picture, showing a clay doll and a wooden doll holding a dandelion floating in the air.
This official blog went viral the moment it was posted, attracting countless replies from players who were following Chen Xu’s news.
'Damn it, look what I got! New game is coming! ? '
'etc! Couple collaboration? Valentine's Day! wtf! Chen Xu, do you know that I just found a girlfriend and can’t wait to make me single! ? '
'Judging from the accompanying pictures, the cartoon style is very friendly, but the blood and tears of "Kitchen Kitchen" tell us that this is a big pit! '
'Once a year, you're here again for Valentine's Day this year, right? '
'It's time to bring up old jokes again every year. Let's fill in the blanks. What is Chen Xu's nickname? '
'Last year's "Kitchen" asked me to wrap the bowls at home. This year you want me to wrap the clothes, right? '
Players were furious. It was at this time last year that a game with similar rhetoric made a deep impression on them.
But having said that, on game media websites, the topic of "Chen Xu" new game is still rising.
In the gaming industry, this news has also spread.
'Did you hear that? Chen Xu’s new game is another two-player cooperation type. '
'Not a Dark Souls sequel? '
'It should be the same as last year's "Kitchen", it's an over-the-top mini-game, right? '
'I wonder if Chen Xu can play well this year in a game he doesn't know the name of yet? '
'What are you thinking about? The two-person cooperation is nothing more than changing the theme and mode like last year's "Kitchen Kitchen". What else can be done? '
Regarding Chen Xu's new game, the industry and player groups are discussing it, but the main impression is still concentrated on last year's "Kitchen".
After all, the timing and rhetoric are really hard not to think about.
However, Chen Xu was not affected. When the game is officially launched, all the 'grievances' will be washed away. By then, players will finally understand their own feelings and know why they are called: warriors of love!
… … … …
With players eagerly discussing it, time soon came to Valentine’s Day, February 14th.
At noon that day, Chen Xu and the official blog of Nebula Games released an official blog message at the same time.
The content of the message was very simple: a trailer.
Three words, and below is a video.
After clicking on it, a wooden door appeared on the screen after a brief black screen.
As the wooden door opens, a book with facial features appears in front of the camera.
It says 'book of love' on the top
'This is a story about a magical land. '
The Book of Love stretches out its hands as if to welcome players watching the video, and at the same time the camera quickly pulls back.
The lighthouse, clock tower, and cartoon art style make the whole picture look like a dream.
'There are many wizards and warriors among them. '
The camera came to a room. Two dolls, one made of clay and one made of wood, were each wearing wizard uniforms, holding flaming swords in armor, and then fought a cartoon monster in a place similar to an arena.
'This epic legend takes place on the sea. '
A small sailboat like building blocks is on the sea, avoiding sharks with wide mouths and octopus monsters with huge tentacles.
'And it's also a journey through time. '
A road made of countless gears that looks like it's inside a wall clock.
'biubiubiu! It even includes winter dreams, going sledding or something. '
On the icy and snowy track, a sleigh was moving forward rapidly.
In the next moment, countless fragmented scenes flashed by, including railway tracks running through tunnels, avoiding spiders in the forest, and facing bats on the platform.
'Wait... did I mention there's going to be a big bang? '
A platform similar to that made of copper pipes, with a roar, a huge flame burst out, and the two little dolls were pushed away by the powerful shock wave.
'Wait a minute, you look at these dolls... you almost forget they were ever human. '
The camera freezes on the two blown-up dolls, and a photo appears at the same time.
Men and women wearing wedding dresses and suits stood in front of the cake with smiles on their faces.
But the photo cracked in half, separating them.
'Okay, okay... Do you want to know what the theme of this story is? '
'This is Cody and Mei's story. '
The camera shows two panicked dolls.
'Want to change back? Then you have to repair your relationships first...'
'This is a story about passion... '
'This is a story about glamor...'
'This is a story about collaboration...'
As a series of game screens flashed by, finally the Nebula Games logo flashed.
The title of the game is online: "Two People Go Together"
