Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Chapter 148: I play alone

Views:

Zhang Yi and Wang Han were sitting in front of the computer, and the room was filled with laughter and laughter.

They did encounter some puzzles that troubled them on the way, but in "Two People", the guidance for various puzzles was quite good.

The key information is marked with very conspicuous colors, which is the so-called attraction anchor in game design.

In the previous life, the most perfect application of this setting was picnic.

But in "Two People", although there are many different scene spaces that players can go to, the scope of activity in a single scene space is not large, so inserting various anchor-attracting mechanism prompts can immediately attract players' attention.

And even if you don't notice it, if you stay in front of a level for too long, Cody and Xiaomei in the game will also have corresponding line prompts.

It can be said that as long as it is not intentional, there is basically no situation of getting stuck in "Two People".

After all, this game is not a hard-core platforming game like Weilan. This is a two-player game that allows players to feel happy.

"This is so cool!" Wang Han and Zhang Yi looked surprised.

Through a pipe similar to a blower, two people directly performed an alley-oop, sprayed out of one pipe and then sucked into another pipe.

Coupled with the game's storyboards, it's like watching a wonderful action-adventure movie. It's simply exciting.

The levels of the game were advanced little by little, and soon the two people in the game entered the first boss battle.

The enemies you face are the vacuum cleaners that sprayed them out before.

Looking at Cody and Xiaomei who were back in front of him, the vacuum cleaner was very angry.

But at this time, Cody and Xiaomei said that they could repair the vacuum cleaner after changing back, because Xiaomei is a skilled engineer.

But at this moment, the previous Book of Love suddenly appeared.

'Wow! Is what you said true? '

'Then why did you buy the expensive Turbo x2000 vacuum cleaner? Um! ? '

After saying this, the book of love disappeared without a trace.

"Oh my god, this guy came out just to make fire!?"

"It's a bit disgusting!"

Obviously, as the guide in the game, the Book of Love attracts the common hatred value of Wang Han and Zhang Yi.

But soon the two people's focus was no longer on Gong Huo's Book of Love.

The game has officially entered the first boss battle.

The way to deal with the boss is not difficult.

Because the boss's attack method is very simple, which is to spray out burning cans.

At this time, players only need to dodge.

When the boss stops throwing it, one person climbs up the pipe on the steps and aims it at the boss, while the person below uses the pipe to suck in the burning tube thrown by the boss.

Although the boss has a so-called second stage, it is obvious that the second stage of the boss in "Twins" is completely incomparable with the boss in Dark Souls.

Just continue to move carefully and repeat the previous operations, and you can easily defeat the boss.

After successfully defeating the vacuum cleaner boss, there will be a cutscene.

After the two escaped, they saw their daughter Rose, but the daughter could not hear their voices. The hammer next to them made a sound, indicating that it could help the two, but it needed to help its friends rescue the tool box.

Here, Xiaomei and Cody have new props.

A hammer and a nail, Xiaomei got the hammer and Cody got the nail.

After obtaining the tools, all puzzle levels require the use of the new tools obtained.

For example, use Xiaomei's hammer to knock down the switch, and then let Cody stand on a mechanism platform and move to the opposite position.

Then Cody used the nail to throw it on the board, and Xiaomei used the hammer in her hand to hook the nail and swing it like a swing.

"You can still play like this!"

Seeing Wang Han in the game hooking his nail and then swinging over, Zhang Yi couldn't help but let out a heartfelt exclamation.

And this is what he has said the most so far.

Although it is only the third level, the whole game is really crazy.

It completely subverted his understanding of two-player games.

As the game progressed, the previously popular Purple Book of Love soon appeared again, but this time it brought a mini-game 'Beat Cody'.

"This game actually has mini-games!"

"Surprised!"

Looking at the whack-a-mole mini-game in front of them, Wang Han and Zhang Yi were both surprised. Apparently, they did not expect that there would be mini-games that could be challenged in this game.

"But why? I was the one who was beaten!?" Looking at Wang Han standing on top of the box, waving the hammer in his hand and hitting Wang Han, Zhang Yi, as a gopher, felt a little bit sick.

Because the gopher played by Cody had to show his head outside and wait for a while to get points, so he was immediately hit with stars in his eyes.

"There's nothing you can do about the game settings. There's nothing you can do about it!" Wang Han chuckled and won the whack-a-mole game easily.

"That's not necessarily true!" Zhang Yi looked at the nail in his hand and laughed, silently distanced himself and then aimed and fired!

There was a "bang" sound, and Xiaomei was nailed to the wooden board with iron nails.

"Don't run. If you have the ability to nail me, don't run if you have the ability!" After continuously breaking away, Wang Han here also chased Zhang Yi with his own hammer.

Xiaomei's hammers can also hurt each other, but the key thing is the hammer.

After pulling away, she couldn't catch up.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, 'Bang! 'A nail was held in place for her.

"Hey, I'm an archer. Have you ever seen an archer fighting a warrior in close combat?" Zhang Yi, who had regained his place from the small game, laughed.

"Okay, okay, childish or not, let's rush through the level to advance the plot!" Wang Han, who was pinned to the ground again and felt that he had no way to win head-on, coughed lightly and changed the subject.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi also smiled and recalled the nail and continued to advance the plot in the game.

After getting the hammer and nails, the content of solving the puzzle becomes more complicated and requires more tacit understanding between each other.

For example, when Cody gets three nails, there is a jumping level, and a platform will appear only when the nails are nailed.

This level requires Xiaomei to constantly climb up. There is a point where she jumps off the wall. If she doesn't have a good understanding, she will still be stuck for a while.

Although this level seems to need to be very coherent, in fact it can be passed very easily as long as you follow the order and do it bit by bit.

Because if you wall jump, you will be lying on the wall for a period of time. As long as you don't rush to pull out the nails attached to the wall, it is easy to pass.

In the end, Cody and Xiaomei passed a series of levels and finally came to the boss tool box.

With the tense melody playing and the roar of the tool box, it was obvious that this was another boss battle.

But unlike the previous boss battle with the vacuum cleaner, this boss battle with the tool box is different.

This time the toolbox is a little more difficult.

First of all, many iron nails will fall from the sky. If you are hit twice in a row, your health will be gone.

In the first stage, fortunately, you only have to dodge one sweep of the tool box shovel and nails falling from the sky.

But it was different in the second stage. The blade fan and electric saw cut off the wood of the platform, and finally the shovel in the tool box was used to shoot people. The space that could be accommodated was very small.

Wang Han and Zhang Yi both died several times here.

"Fortunately, there is infinite resurrection, and the progress will not be reset, otherwise it would be really difficult!"

"yes!"

Wang Han and Zhang Yi were also a little emotional.

One of the difficulties of "Two People Go Together" is actually lowered a lot by Chen Xu compared to his previous life.

In addition, as long as one player is still alive, he can be resurrected infinitely, and even if both players die, not all will be reset.

And if the player cannot beat the game, the game will also have a dynamic difficulty setting.

For example, under normal circumstances, if you are hit by nails twice in a row, you will die.

People will be gone after being hit with a big pot and shovel.

If the player is stuck, he can choose to turn on this difficulty.

After turning it on, the boss's attack power will be reduced, giving players more fault tolerance time.

After all, not all players are game masters. Many people think that some operations are not enough if they have good skills

But many people are already playing it seriously, but they just can't complete those operations.

And "Two Players" is not a hard-core game, so Chen Xu added these settings compared to the original version to help players who have been stuck get through it more easily.

Of course, this also gives players the right to choose. If they want to challenge themselves, they can choose not to enable it, and if they want to advance the plot quickly, they can choose to enable it.

… … …

As the plot of the game progresses, Wang Han and Zhang Yi share the most common words, and that is: "It's possible!"

Because as the game developed, they discovered that the content was really rich!

In addition to the puzzle-solving and level-solving in the main storyline, the game also has quite a few interesting mini-games built into it.

It simply comes with a collection of mini-games!

And the level of each chapter can be said to have a unique theme.

For example, vacuum cleaners and tool boxes, this is a big level.

The theme in this level is shacks.

The surrounding scenes are also related to sheds, and the tools players obtain in this large scene are hammers and nails.

After defeating the tool box, the two tools were sent to their daughter as repayment.

But the daughter did not notice the two of them. At this time, Dr. Ha Jin came out again and told the two that if they wanted to see their daughter, they had to go to the upper window.

In the level going outside the house, two people need to slide on a wire, matching the current flowing up, as if they have a feeling of traveling through time and space.

After ending the shack scene, the next step is to enter a new theme scene.

And what you get are all props related to the theme.

For example, Wang Han and Zhang Yi have already arrived at a big tree in the courtyard and entered the heart of the tree.

However, they were caught by the squirrel. It turned out that the squirrel thought the two were enemies sent by the wasp, and after negotiation decided to let the two help get rid of the wasp.

The two got new props from the squirrel.

A special tool that sprays sap and attaches to wooden materials and a weapon that shoots fire and detonates the sap.

As a result, the style of the game instantly changed into a shooting game.

One is responsible for spraying, the other is responsible for igniting, and each other overcomes difficulties.

Coming from the shack to the outside world is like opening the door to a new world, and entering the heart of the tree is another wonderful adventure.

With the obtained props turning into "guns", the puzzles of the entire game have become more complicated, requiring players to use their little brains, and the rhythm of the game has also begun to become more intense.

A game with such a cartoon art style actually has many big scenes.

Cody and Xiaomei lay on the lid of the wine barrel and drifted in the rapids, performing a show of rushing through the rapids.

Entering deep into the heart of the tree, the dreamlike scene is intoxicating.

You can also ride on a rampage in a Beetle that was defeated by you and decided to rebel against the Wasp.

After defeating the 'Queen Bee', Cody and Xiaomei discovered that this thing was actually a robot, and the so-called Queen Bee hidden inside turned out to be a fat little drone.

As a result, Cody, Xiaomei and the little drone were chased by a swarm of wasps, and finally evaded pursuit by detonating a honey bucket.

The scene was like watching the protagonist destroy the alien nest in a science fiction blockbuster, it was quite spectacular.

And this is just the beginning.

Because when Cody and Xiaomei were comforting the bees, the squirrel troops opened fire directly.

The Fat Bee who had just been rescued immediately chose to run away.

So the battlefield moved from the ground to the sky.

Cody and Xiaomei staged an ace air battle on the "Underpants" plane.

While passing through the deep passage, the squirrel climbed onto the top of the plane.

As a result, the puzzle game instantly turned into a 2D side-scrolling fighting game.

… … …

Throughout the whole day, Zhang Yi and Wang Han were experiencing "Two People Go Together" until their stomachs growled at night.

This made them put down the handle.

"This game is so fun!" Wang Han said, still not finished.

"Yes, and it's very fun. There seems to be a lot of scenes in the follow-up. At least there are many things that I haven't experienced in the promotional trailer!" Zhang Yi also said with excitement.

Different from the original "Kitchen" where they just got into each other's heads after playing, in this "Two People" there are also various pitfalls between the two people, but they are all full of smiles.

And more importantly, there is really too much content in this game.

After playing it for an afternoon, I feel like there is still a lot of content behind it.

"I'm going to change clothes. Let's go eat hot pot in the evening. Let's continue after eating." Wang Han glanced at the time and said.

"No problem." Zhang Yi nodded with a smile.

Wang Han went to the room to change clothes. Zhang Yi leaned on the chair and opened his phone and sent a message to Moments.

Then he opened the friend interface, found Song Ren's avatar, clicked and sent a message: "Old Song, have you played "Two People"? This game is really fun. I never thought that a two-player cooperative game could be like this! And! The key point is that Chen Xu really didn’t lie this time, this game is so warm and loving!”

Obviously, Zhang Yi is still a little immersed in the experience of "Two People Go Together" and has not been able to come out.

About ten seconds later, Song Ren responded with a message and an emoticon.

The content is very simple, but in this simple content, Zhang Yi read a kind of bitterness.

'Am I playing alone? (smile.jpg)'
