Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Chapter 48: Horror games, to me, are as easy as breathing

Views:

Entering mid-November, the entire "Escape" project has basically completed 70% of the game content.

The remaining 30% of the content is mainly in dubbing, corresponding scene construction, and performance.

For Chen Xu, the biggest gain from the development of "Escape" is that he has a deeper understanding of the application of the editor.

At the same time, for the game content of "Escape", with his current resource authority of 2048M, the monthly quota is completely sufficient.

In addition to game development, the Nebula gaming platform was also launched quietly during this period.

Chen Xu promoted it on his official blog.

But it didn't cause much fuss.

What industry giants are targeting, the media have reported on, there is no such thing.

That is to say, some media really ran out of news, and then put the news in a sub-column.

You really can't see it unless you look through it.

Currently, the only games listed above are "To the Moon" and "Undertale".

As for sales, the two games sold a total of 172 copies.

But in terms of play time, the cumulative total is less than 50 hours a day.

Obviously, the players who purchased it should all be fans of Chen Xu, just to buy more copies on his platform and to support their favorite designers and game companies.

Chen Xu is not frustrated about this. After all, the development of the platform does not happen overnight.

Time passed day by day, it was early December.

The development of the entire "Escape" has also been completed.

Corresponding promotions have also begun one after another.

On this day, Chen Xu suddenly posted an official blog.

The content of the official blog is very simple, a paragraph and a game poster.

'The only way to survive is to escape! '

'On December 15th, escape begins! '

Below this paragraph is the game poster of "Escape".

In the poster, the background looks like a hospital room, with medical equipment scattered on the floor and table.

There are two big words written on the wall: Escape.

The color appears black in night vision mode, which reminds people of blood stains at first glance.

At the same time, under the bed in the corner, there was a man lying there with a face full of fear. The index finger of his right hand was placed in front of his mouth, which looked very strange.

As Chen Xu's official blog was released, major media outlets also began to report information about "Escape".

And the game "Escape" was also launched on the official game platform in advance.

Of course, it is still in pre-sale mode.

The price is 65 yuan, which is not a high price.

After all, the game size of "Escape" is not very large.

At the same time, there was a wave of discussions about "Escape" in major game communities and forums.

Of course, this is not spontaneous among players. Although "Undertale" is famous, "To the Moon" won the first place in science fiction games.

However, Chen Xu's current reputation is not enough to create a hot spot just by relying on his name.

The cause of all this is naturally the ability to make money.

… … …

Time passes day by day, and "Escape" is finally ready to go online.

The game area of Shark TV is a live broadcast room called Commentary Old Boy.

"Why is it just me? Brother Huang went to the hospital for a physical examination and will probably come back later."

"Don't keep talking about horror games. I told you that horror games are completely stress-free for me, just like breathing."

"You want me to play horror games because you think I might be terribly frightened, but when you see my expressionless face! It feels like breathing, you will be very disappointed then, right? It’s time to be disappointed.”

"Okay, let's do this later. Everyone knows that I don't have any pressure to play horror games because I have played too many before, so let's try it first. If it's not scary, we'll wait until Brother Huang comes back. Let’s go play other games.”

"Okay, okay, I'll turn on the camera for you, but to be honest, you will be really disappointed when the time comes. I won't show the expressions you are expecting at all."

"Because I am a very calm person, horror games are as easy for me as breathing."

Sun Yixie, who was narrating a game video, looked very calm and calm while watching the barrage in the live broadcast room.

Saying it three times in a row was as simple as breathing.

He felt quite confident in his courage.

Open the official game platform and ignore the barrage in the live broadcast room that says, "Brother can't even open the game on his own."

After a lot of effort, Sun Yixie installed the game, then turned on the camera and entered the game.

There was a brief sizzling sound, and then the game interface appeared.

The entire game screen is glowing with cyan, just like the tone of old Hong Kong movies and ghost movies.

The background is a building similar to a hospital, with sparse lighting and some dynamic clouds, which looks very penetrating.

"There is a little feeling, of course just a little bit, as I said before, horror games are as easy as breathing for me."

Sun Yixie said while watching the barrage.

At this time, he was still quite confident.

"As for the difficulty, let's play normal for the first time."

Entering the game, there was darkness at first, a low narration, a strange BGM and a car radio sound mixed with electric current.

'My name is Miles Upshur, an ordinary reporter. In the remote Colorado mountains, a long-abandoned mental hospital has reopened - Giant Mountain Mental Hospital. '

'But one day a mysterious man wrote me a letter, telling me that there was a huge secret hidden deep in this mental hospital. In order to investigate this matter, I came here. '

Along with the car radio's narration, the background world of the game is briefly introduced.

Sun Yixie had no psychological fluctuations at all and acted as calm as he said before.

Because most horror games or horror movies are like this.

After the narration, the game screen appeared.

It's just that it's still an uncontrollable mode.

The protagonist drives the car towards Jushan Mental Hospital.

The dim background and the car radio with electric current immediately set off the atmosphere.

Soon the car arrived at its destination and stopped at an entrance to Jushan Mental Hospital.

The game guidance also appears. Pick up the co-pilot's camera and there is a letter.

The content of this letter is the narration that appeared before. As a reporter, the protagonist came to Jushan Mental Hospital to find out what happened because he wanted to make big news.

After picking up the letter, the task prompt is also displayed on the game screen: Enter Jushan Mental Hospital.

Next, players can take free actions in the game.

After getting off the car, the darkness combined with the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves around him, coupled with the fact that a mental hospital was not a very friendly place at first sight, made Sun Yixie's heartbeat suddenly become a little faster. .
