September 11th, this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and the last day of the three-day holiday is left.
During this period of time, many bosses in the death mode of "Dark Souls" were finally conquered one after another.
Wang Youmu, who was ridiculed by players, is finally no longer alone.
During this period, many players also asked various questions on Chen Xu’s official blog.
There are all kinds of players.
Some asked Chen Xu about the type of his next work, some asked what the plot of "Dark Souls" will be like, and some asked whether there will be any new "Dark Souls" games in the future.
But on this day, many players were surprised to find that there had been no movement on the silent official blog.
Actually sent a message about a new game.
'The new game "Don't Starve" is now available on the Nebula gaming platform. '
'This is a sandbox game that combines adventure, survival, role-playing, manufacturing, and exploration. Players need to find, dig and utilize various limited resources to survive in an unknown and mysterious world. '
'The game supports multiplayer online play. You can explore and survive with your friends in this mysterious and unknown world. '
'Game features: A complete item production system, allowing you to experience the joy of creation; Gothic painting style with distinctive features; a huge explorable map full of unknowns, and sandbox-style free play. '
It is similar to some previous small-scale games, such as "Three Kingdoms" and "Naughty Kitchen".
This time, Chen Xu also produced the PC and mobile versions of "Don't Starve" simultaneously.
Of course, considering the different operation methods, there are also platform differences brought about by subsequent mods.
The two different versions have their own regions, and only the pure version can communicate with each other in terms of data.
In other words, if the corresponding mod is added, players on different platforms can connect with each other, but they can only connect with players on their own platform.
However, despite the differences, players do not need to buy it twice because data interoperability is used.
After players have played on the PC, they can also continue playing on the mobile phone.
However, it is also limited to inheriting the archives of the pure version.
After Chen Xu’s official blog was released.
Advertisements about "Don't Starve" are also being launched one after another on major gaming websites and some communities, including the Nebula gaming platform.
Of course, it is far less vast than the previous "Dark Souls: Age of First Fire" and "Twins".
But it also confused many players.
"What's going on? Chen Xu has developed another game?"
"Let's take a look. This seems to be a game produced with a low cost?"
"Little game? Let me take a look, this style of painting is a bit weird!"
"What are you feeling about? Didn't Chen Xu say it on the official blog, Gothic style!"
"Dude, what is Gothic?"
"How do I know what Gothic style is? I just know what Gothic loli is."
"???? Something's wrong, where's the police uncle? I want to call the police!"
"Don't be confused, what does this sandbox game mean? What kind of game is sandbox?"
"I don't know. Chen Xu just made it up, right?"
"Survival, and with this style of painting, holy shit, this isn't a horror game, is it?"
"It's not impossible! It's possible that Chen Xu made a demo of "Silent Hill pt" before and found it unsatisfactory."
"You guys, don't make up your own mind. Doesn't Chen Xu's official blog make it very clear? There is no horror label at all."
"Haha, I half listen to Chen Xu's words and believe half of them. The sledgehammer at the previous game show, Chen Xu, can talk about the philosophy of life. If you believe his words, you will be counted for money after being sold!"
"Anyway, I'll wait and see for a while!"
"No matter, just buy it directly. It only costs 26 yuan anyway. If it's not fun, I'll just refund you."
Many players discussed it under Chen Xu’s official blog.
Some players have decided to wait and see for the time being, and of course some players are very much looking forward to it, because this survival mode game, at least from the introduction, seems quite interesting, and the price of 26 yuan is not expensive. .
After seeing Chen Xu's official blog, many designers in the game industry were confused.
After all, Chen Xu is no longer a nobody.
On the PC platform, Chen Xu has launched many games that have had a profound impact on the industry.
From the beginning, Undertale promoted the characteristics of meta-games, and then to "Hot Kitchen" and "Two People" gave cooperative games a wave of brilliance.
And "Dark Soul" has amazed many designers that a difficult hard-core game can actually attract so many players.
At the same time, in another VR field, Nebula Games has not yet fully set foot in it, and no designers have experienced it.
But judging from the video of the PC version, it is a classic, and even some horror games launched after this have directly added loop settings.
Although "Don't Starve" is a small-scale game, its label "sandbox type" has attracted the attention of many designers in the industry.
'Sandbox type? What type is this? For better publicity, Chen Xu made it himself? '
'That's not true. As for sandboxes and sandbox-type games, there are actually some on the market, and many of them have achieved pretty good results, but they are relatively niche. '
'Don't pay attention to the game, haven't you noticed that this time "Don't Starve" is a little different from Nebula Games' usual games? '
'What's different? '
'Platform! Usually, Nebula Games' products are available on other platforms even though they have extra discounts on its platform, but this time "Don't Starve" has not announced any news about other platforms at all! '
'Does this mean that Chen Xu is going to only launch his own platform? Does Nebula Games have such a large user base? '
'Why not? Don't underestimate Chen Xu too much, and I think this time it should be a test. After all, Chen Xu didn't say anything about exclusivity. '
For the new game "Don't Starve" launched by Nebula Games this time, it can be said that it has attracted the attention of many designers in the industry.
Not only designers are paying attention, but traditional game manufacturers and channel platforms such as NetDragon and Tenghua are also eyeing the performance of Nebula Games this time.
… … …
The attention of the industry does not have much impact on ordinary players.
As for "Don't Starve", it is currently only available on the Nebula gaming platform, although there are also many players talking about it.
But players who are interested in this game don’t think too much and choose to buy it directly.
Especially the player base accumulated from previous Nebula games.
Every time Nebula Games releases a new game, there are certain preferential conditions as long as you purchase it on its platform.
At first, players bought it simply because of the preferential conditions, but in the past two years, many players have developed a habit.
That is to buy games from Nebula Games. Everyone subconsciously comes to the Nebula Game platform to purchase.
