Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Chapter 19: Shocking

Views:

As a game editor, although Wu Tian has not been in the job for a long time.

But as for games, Wu Tian has also played a lot.

Judging from the current content of "Under Legend", Wu Tian can clearly feel some of its characteristics.

The first is the quality of the game. Of course, this is not talking about the content, but the simple external quality, such as the graphics and operating experience.

"Undertale" can only be considered acceptable from his side, not much different from ordinary independent games.

But in terms of content, Wu Tian can only say that "Under the Legend" currently gives him a very bad feeling.

The decryption content, even though it is only the decryption content of the tutorial level, is quite boring.

Just push the stone and press the lever.

As for the combat stage, the game provides some dialogue options such as mercy.

Players do not need to kill monsters.

According to Wu Tian's gaming experience, this is nothing more than an honor value setting.

The ending with high honor value is preferred, and the ending with low honor value is bad.

There are no special settings, and the game plot itself feels like a template for fighting monsters in a dungeon.

After killing some monsters blocking the way, Wu Tian continued to set off without thinking much after looking at the prompts after the battle.

As a game editor, his approach is to go through the level first and see the experience of the entire process.

Although it could be resolved peacefully, Wu Tian still chose the simplest way to fight.

After all, in an RPG game, isn’t it normal to defeat monsters and upgrade

As you progress along the way, the sheep mother in the game will often appear and ask the protagonist what he likes to eat and what he is allergic to.

As he explored along the way, Wu Tian sighed softly and shook his head.

He had a feeling that the appearance of "Magic Mirror" was simply an accident.

After all, the current "Undertale" feels like a piece of cake to him. It's playable but not enough to impress him.

There are no unknown places to explore in the entire castle, no exciting mechanisms to decipher, and no exciting plot.

It was simply the discovery of the door to the underworld.

After triggering this plot, the sheep mother who previously rescued the protagonist said that the outside world is very dangerous, and if you insist on going out, it will prove that you have the ability to protect yourself.

After agreeing, it enters the battle stage.

The ewe who saved the protagonist before stopped her from going out, and said that if she wanted to go, she would have to prove her ability to protect herself.

Like the previous battles, Mercy can also be chosen in the battle with Toriel the Ewe.

Unlike ordinary monsters, Wu Tian still likes this sheep mother.

So he didn't attack, but he soon discovered that the mercy option was useless.

After clicking several times in succession, the sheep mother continued to attack.

So we can only fight back

Or is there going to be a plot-killing situation where you empty the sheep mother's health bar and trigger the plot

Wu Tian was guessing in his heart, and at the same time he tried to attack the sheep mother.

The first blow lost about one-tenth of the blood.

With the second stab, another small tube of blood fell out.

When the knife was struck for the third time, something happened that stunned him.

Because under this knife, the blood bar of the sheep mother was directly emptied.

The killed sheep mother knelt on one knee, still caring about the protagonist and asking him to leave quickly.

Then it turned into fragments and disappeared into the air.

"What happened? Why did he die? Isn't this a way of setting preferences? Or does it need to be more merciful?"

Although there were no prompts in the game, as a game expert, Wu Tian quickly thought of possible settings in the game.

So in order to prove his idea, Wu Tian read the previous archive.

According to the previous pattern, the battle started again.

This time Wu Tian no longer took the initiative to attack, but kept clicking on mercy.

As the round progressed, Sheep Mother's attacks became more and more fierce, and Wu Tian accidentally bumped into Sheep Mother's attack.

The blood volume was reduced to only a trace of blood skin.

But the next scene confirmed Wu Tian's thoughts.

That is, in the game, the Sheep Mother's attacks actually avoid the love that represents the protagonist in the game.

Even if Wu Tian tried to take the initiative to greet him, the other party would avoid him.

"It's really like this! The player is asked to wait for a certain number of rounds, but the Sheep Mother will not kill the player."

"Compared with the previous plot of killing the sheep mother, the meaning is somewhat ironic, especially the setting that cooperates with the sheep mother's attack to avoid the player. This aspect is somewhat similar to the plot in "Magic Mirror". Goodness and An exploration of evil and moral humanity.”

As a game editor, Wu Tian also reviews games from some in-depth aspects.

After avoiding the attack of the sheep mother, after clicking Mercy 14 times in a row.

Listening to the brisk music in the game and the scene after the battle, Wu Tian also shook his head.

I saw that in the game, facing the protagonist who insisted on leaving, the sheep mother finally no longer stopped her, but gently hugged the protagonist and took the initiative to send her away from the castle.

"After all, I am a new game designer. This plot trigger setting is still too rough. I have to click Mercy so many times in succession. Although it is just to prevent the players from discovering it, but..." Wu Tian shook his head.

"And since we want players not to be discovered, the design of active evasion of barrages actually actively exposes them. Telling players that this is a plot kill is equivalent to taking off your pants and farting."

Thinking about the setting of the Sheep Mother battle session just now, Wu Tian also criticized this aspect.

In his opinion, if such a design only uses one of them, it would be pretty good.

Using both is counterproductive.

But the next scene made him freeze in his chair.

Because the scene in front of him completely overturned his judgment!

Xiaohua, who wanted to kill the protagonist before, appears again.

What shocked Wu Tian was not the character Xiaohua, but the lines in her mouth.

[clever! Very~very~intelligent! !]

[You really think you are very smart, right?]

[In this world, either kill or be killed!]

[That’s why you can do whatever you want.]

[You are very happy, right?]

[Because you just spared a person’s life?]

[Hehehe, but don’t act so self-righteous!]

[Because... I know everything, I know what you have done!]

[You have already killed her!]

[But you regret it, so you go back to the past, and you want to do it again.]

[Hahahaha... You are such a naive idiot. Do you think you are the only creature with such power?]

[This power to reshape the world... comes entirely from your own determination, the ability to play God, and the ability to preserve.]

[I thought I was the only one with that kind of power, but... I can't save it anymore.]

[Obviously your desire for this world exceeds mine.]

[Okay, okay, enjoy it while you still have this power.]

[I will always watch you!]

[Hahahaha…]
