Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Chapter 147: Split screen co-op

Views:

"The camera of this game actually uses split screen, it's so retro!" Zhang Yi said with some emotion.

The split-screen setting can be considered a very retro setting.

In today's Internet age, games involving multiplayer online games basically do not need to be operated on one machine.

But in an era when the Internet was underdeveloped, it was obvious that the network conditions at the time did not support such an operation.

Under such circumstances, some games involving two-player online play will adopt local split-screen mode.

That is to say, the screen of the monitor is divided into two, one of which is the perspective of the 1p player, and the other is the perspective of the 2p player.

Therefore, Zhang Yi felt a little surprised when he discovered that "Two People Go Together" was actually a split screen.

"I think it's okay. I can also see your picture. I guess there will be some level design needs later, right?" Wang Han didn't think that much.

The two people chatted and moved forward.

The first puzzle was quickly encountered.

After pulling the switch, the elevator staircase did not fall. Instead, the three fuses inside grew legs and ran away.

Two of them didn't run very far, but the other naughty fuse just ran away.

"This fuse actually ran away!?" Zhang Yi looked surprised when he saw the plot in the game.

"Why are you so surprised? Haven't you read fairy tales when you were a child? Are they anthropomorphic? Books can live and fuses can grow legs. We are still made of clay and wood!" Wang Han complained next to him.

This plot of chasing the fuse is basically an explanation of a basic operation in the game.

Basic operations in the game include turning on the switch when landing in the air, wall jumping, double jumping, double jumping sprint, climbing and running.

However, this entire novice teaching process gave Zhang Yi and Wang Han a very unique experience, and at this time they also felt some of the advantages of the dual-screen mode.

That is to be able to see the content of the other party's screen in real time, and to be able to see the other party's operations.

And if the other party's operation method is wrong, you can tell the other party immediately and then teach the other party how to live here.

If it is not dual-screen mode, then everyone must be in the same place, otherwise it will be difficult to know how the other party is stuck without seeing the screen.

Moreover, the range of the map that can be moved in "Two People" is not small, and this dual-screen mode is just right!

There was basically no difficulty in deciphering some of the previous levels. Wang Han and Zhang Yi were having fun and quickly found the missing fuse and put it back.

The two people were ejected onto the table through the elevator. The daughter in front of them was writing a letter.

And just when Cody and Xiaomei were excited, they were about to run to talk to their daughter and ask how to release the doll state.

Dr. Harkin appears and opens a cabinet door.

Inside was a broken vacuum cleaner.

Facing Cody and Xiaomei, the vacuum cleaner showed great hostility.

Because the vacuum cleaner was used by Cody to suck up all kinds of messy things, such as fruit cores, plastic bottles and other things that were broken.

Xiaomei said that she would fix the vacuum cleaner, but she just left the vacuum cleaner in the corner of the house and ignored it.

"The keyboard seemed to have malfunctioned after you spilled coke last time!?" Wang Han, who saw this scene, glanced at Zhang Yi next to him.

"Unexpected... unexpected, don't talk about watching the plot, a new level has begun! This is not the teaching level just now!" Zhang Yi coughed twice, looked at the game screen and began to change the topic.

In life, who has never accidentally broken something? Besides, he repaired it very seriously. He immediately threw it into water and soaked it, and then exposed it to the sun for two days. Unfortunately, the keyboard failed to survive in the end.

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Wang Han curled his lips, but still returned his attention to the game.

In any case, this beginning had aroused her curiosity.

During the game, Cody and Xiaomei didn't just have three lines in "Dark Souls" saying 'Hey! Well! ah! 'Ashes.

During the game, Xiaomei and Cody will exchange some lines with each other based on some of the other party's actions.

Through these lines, you can feel the relationship between Xiaomei and Cody.

Both people feel that they are right and the other person is wrong.

From the plot point of view, it is obvious that "Two People" is an old-fashioned family ethics drama.

Although this has just passed the novice tutorial, through the game's promotional trailer video, there is still content shown so far.

Not only Wang Han who is playing, but most of the players who are experiencing this game have already guessed the plot behind it.

It's nothing more than Xiaomei and Cody with the help of Dr. Ha Jin, the book of love.

Through mutual tacit cooperation, we learned about each other's love again, and finally the family reunited together.

It can be said that this is a very cliched plot.

And judging from the dreamy cartoon animation art style, many players also feel that such a plot will not usher in any turning points.

But even so, what players are curious about is not the ending, but the process in between.

What kind of hardships will Cody and Xiaomei go through, what obstacles will they encounter, and then work together to get through it and finally understand each other

After being knocked away by the vacuum cleaner, the game really begins.

Compared with the novice tutorial levels, the decryption of levels in the game has become relatively more complicated.

During this journey, there is no way for the player to pass alone.

Players must interact with each other on the map to help another player go somewhere so that both people can pass smoothly.

For example, a blower pipe, the player drills into it from one end and is sprayed out from the other end.

But if you go in directly, you will never reach the destination. Another player must lift the pipe.

The player who goes to the other end also needs to press the corresponding switch, so that both people can pass a small level.

At the same time, it is not just cooperation, some levels also require some tacit understanding between players.

For example, in a ventilation duct level, players need to pass through three fans, and these fans are arranged in hot air, cold air, and hot air. When one player jumps to another, he has to switch between hot air and cold air.

In the cold wind state, players can be blown up by the cold air and continue to jump.

But if it is hot air, it will be burned directly to ashes.

Pull the button and the fan's temperature will switch.

So in this level, the test is the tacit cooperation of the players.

When the player takes off, another player needs to immediately switch the fan temperature.

Cooperation and tacit understanding can be said to be most vividly displayed here.

And the advantage of the dual-screen mode is that not only Cody and Xiaomei in the game need to cooperate, but the two players behind the monitor also need to work together.
