Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Chapter 18: Game experience

Views:

After Chen Xu announced the existence of "Under Legend".

Ordinary players haven't noticed anything yet, they just feel that the battle situation has escalated.

This is not a quarrel, but a direct bayonet fight!

But for the well-informed game media, it feels like a Chihuahua.

Good guy, they originally thought it was a young man who stood up and attacked directly.

This is a premeditated hype!

However, you know that the traffic brought by this big melon cannot be missed.

Following reports from various media, the popularity of the two games "Undertale" and "Bloom" soon began to soar.

Among the Hepai media, Zhong Media was a little angry about this.

Because now the two games can be said to be tied together.

And the reason why the popularity can rise so quickly is besides the official blog fight between him and Chen Xu.

What's more important is that he also invested a lot of money in promoting the game.

but now

All of them were used as wedding dresses for "Undertale".

… … …

On July 15, “Undertale” was officially launched on the official game platform store.

Compared with Zhong Media’s “Blooming”, “Undertale” was released 3 days ahead of schedule.

It can be regarded as a head start.

Many game designers and players are paying attention to the performance of "Undertale".

After all, this game is not a gentleman's game like the previous "Magic Mirror".

Although the performance of "Magic Mirror" is very impressive, it is an 18R game after all.

Now everyone also wants to see the quality of the game called "Under Legend" developed by Chen Xu.

In the editorial office of a media company called Game Space, Wu Tian, who had just been employed for a short period of time, was sitting in front of the computer preparing to evaluate "Under the Legend".

Although it is an ordinary independent game, it cannot withstand the recent popularity.

The only thing that makes Wu Tian depressed is that today happens to be Sunday.

This also means he has to work overtime.

"Forget it, just bear with it, you will get overtime pay after all." Looking at the time, Wu Tian sighed.

He remembered what the editor-in-chief told him before: 'The company's overtime pay is relatively high, please bear with it.'

After sorting out the clutter on the workbench, Wu Tian opened the game called "Under Legend".

It starts with a simple LOGO icon, a black starry sky background, with the four characters Nebula Game on it, and a line of English below.

After a brief black screen, what appeared on the screen was a yellowed portrait of a little girl with an unclear face holding a long hair.

And an animal that is also standing without a face. Judging from its appearance, it looks a bit like a rabbit, a dog, or a sheep

Looking at this yellowed portrait, Wu Tian made a guess in his heart.

Just like a comic, the opening animation begins to turn the page.

"Because we don't have money to do CG animation, so we use the comic style to tell the opening story. This method is okay."

Wu Tian was guessing in his heart.

This beginning alone gave Wu Tian a good impression of the game "Under Legend".

At least, today's overtime trip has a high probability that it won't be a torture.

The portrait begins to turn pages

The background music started playing, simple scales but quite interesting.

'A long time ago, the earth was ruled by two races - humans and monsters. '

'On a certain day, a war broke out between the two races. '

'After a long war, humans finally won, and they sealed the monsters underground. '

'And now, many years have passed...'

'Mount Ebert - 201X, legend has it that those who climbed the mountain never came back. '

A simple background introduction, nothing outstanding.

After naming the protagonist in the game, we saw the protagonist waking up on the grass piled with yellow petals.

Following the game operation prompts that appeared before, Li Ye controlled the character to walk forward.

After arriving at a gate similar to the entrance of a castle, I walked in and a small sunflower appeared there.

'hello! '

'I'm a little flower! '

'Hee hee hee! '

'You must be new to the underworld, right? '

'Oh my God, you must be very confused. '

'Looks like I need to teach you the rules of the game here. '

'Xiaohua has no choice but to teach you in person. Are you ready? Let's get started! '

What a strange character.

Looking at the little sunflower-like flowers in front of him, Wu Tian said in his heart.

"As LV increases and becomes stronger, shouldn't it be a level? What the hell is love?"

Looking at Xiaohua's lines, Wu Tian was a little confused.

Pretending to be mysterious

And what are these friendship particles

I always feel that this little flower is not a good thing.

Wu Tian thought to himself, and the next game screen confirmed his thoughts.

Accompanied by a burst of evil laughter.

Xiao Hua, who originally seemed friendly, showed a ferocious face after telling him that LV was improved by touching friendship particles.

After touching the white particles, the blood volume instantly became 1 point.

'You idiot! In this world, either kill or be killed! Who would miss such a great opportunity? '

'Die! '

As expected, someone should come to the rescue next.

A plot kill in a standard RPG.

Looking at the heart-shaped icon surrounded by countless white particles, Wu Tian's mood showed no fluctuation.

He almost understood the combat part of the game, which was similar to the barrage avoidance gameplay in audio games.

It's just this plot arrangement, it's a bit old-fashioned, isn't it just a traditional RPG

Sure enough, the next moment when the barrage circle was about to touch him, the blood volume that had only 1 point left suddenly returned to full, and at the same time, the barrage representing the attack disappeared.

The little flower in the game also showed a confused expression, and after a facial performance, she was directly knocked away by a ball of flames.

A woman with goat's horns on her head appears and saves the protagonist in the game.

'What a cruel guy, torturing such a weak and helpless child. '

'Fear not, child. My name is Toriel, the keeper of the ruins. '

'I come to this place every day to see if anyone has fallen, and no human has been here before you for a long time. '

'Come, let me take you through this underground cemetery. '

'This way. '

After a brief conversation, the ewe named Toriel led Wu Tian toward the road ahead.

Tell him how to solve the puzzles and how to use the traps.

At the same time, tell him that when encountering an enemy, you don't have to fight, and you can also convince the NPC.

Very simple decryption, just push the stone normally, and don't step on the leaves with the backboard.

"Although it's not a journey of torture, the quality is too boring. It doesn't even feel as interesting as the elimination game in "Magic Mirror"."

Wu Tian sighed and looked at the monster he encountered, but did not choose to talk or hug him kindly.

Instead, it directly enters combat mode.

So far, it was the only thing that made him feel interesting.

That's the expression of Xiao Hua's facial expressions at the beginning, and this battle session.

Although it is a dodgeball-style gameplay, different monsters exhibit different fighting styles.

For example, when fighting a frog, it looks like a frog jumping inside a box.

It can be said that it matches the image of the monster very well.

"I hope the process of this game won't be too long and boring, so I can get off work earlier." Wu Tian sighed and shook his head.
