Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Chapter 67: First experience with the game

Views:

On the third day of the new year, a certain game hobby group.

"Do you have any good game recommendations?"

""Nonsense Kitchen"! It's online today! I've been eyeing it before. Buy one get one free on the Nebula gaming platform. I'm looking for a playmate. Is there anyone with you? I'll make the game and you'll make the one!"

"Isn't this a couple's game?"

"Who stipulates that couples' games must be played by couples? Two gentlemen can't play?"

"makes sense."

"How much does this game cost?"

"55 is not expensive, and if you go to Chen Xu's Nebula gaming platform, you can buy one and get one free."

"By the way, where's Lao Zhang? Let's play together!"

A group of game enthusiasts in the group are discussing what games are available recently.

At this time, the person named Lao Zhang spoke in the group: "Well... although I really want to play with everyone, but... I'm sorry, I have a partner."

A group of people in the group sent out a burst of dotted symbols, followed by various emoticons.

Ignoring the discussion in the group, Lao Zhang got up from the sofa and stretched his muscles, then sat in front of the computer.

Lao Zhang's name is Zhang Yi. Although he is called Lao Zhang by his friends, he is really not old, he is only twenty-five years old.

Watching a group of people in the group discussing the game "Kitchen".

Zhang Yi, who was in front of the computer, was also a little curious: "Let me see, this game seems to be okay! Wait... it was made by the designer of "Escape"? This suddenly changed from the underworld to the earth!"

Looking at the very cute and cute store interface of "Kitchen Kitchen", Zhang Yi was surprised.

A huge poster on which the name of the game "Kitchen Kitchen" is pieced together with various ingredients.

Then underneath is a huge food truck.

At the top of the dining car stood a group of cartoon people wearing chef hats.

Little crocodiles, little squirrels, dogs, and cartoon versions of boys and girls.

These little cartoon figures look very cute with kitchen knives, rolling pins and pans in their hands.

Seeing the game cover poster of "Kitchen Kitchen", Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh.

With the cartoon art style, it can be said that every character in "Kitchen" is particularly cute.

"What kind of game is this? It's so cute!"

While Zhang Yi was looking at the interface of "Kitchen Kitchen", his girlfriend Wang Han, who had just come out of the room, also noticed what he was looking at and said curiously.

She often plays some games on weekdays, but of course she is different from an avid game enthusiast.

The art style of the game on the monitor in front of her really attracted her.

Q's cute cartoon characters look like fairy tales and feel particularly warm.

""Kitchen Kitchen" is a new game made by the designer of "Escape", and it was released specifically on Valentine's Day." Zhang Yi said.

The two of them also played the previous game "Escape" together.

Of course, like most ordinary players, they don't care much about game designers.

It was when he noticed the game "Kitchen" that he discovered that the designer named Chen Xu had developed many games, and he had played them all.

"Is this made by the designer of "Escape"?" Like Zhang Yi before, Wang Han was also surprised.

"Yes, and this designer has also worked on "To the Moon" and "Undertale". The experience is completely different, right?" Zhang Yi smiled.

"He also made "To the Moon" and "Undertale"?" Wang Han was surprised.

"How about we buy it and play it? It seems like this game is quite interesting?" Wang Han said.

"Hehe, that's what I mean." Zhang Yi chuckled, searched for Nebula Game Platform on the browser, downloaded it and registered two accounts, then added each other as friends, scanned the QR code to pay and then sent the That copy of the game is sent to another account.

Unlike some players, he doesn't care that much about the platform.

It's the same game, as long as the content isn't emasculated.

For him, it means whichever platform has cheaper games, he will buy them from that platform.

He also purchased the previous "Escape" on the Nebula gaming platform.

Now that there is also a buy one get one free offer, there is no reason not to go to the Nebula gaming platform.

Although this game can be played on the same computer on the same screen.

But the two of us live together, and we usually like to play games, so there are two computers in the house.

Download and log in. The game is not big and it took two people to install it quickly.

Entering the game, Nebula Games' company logo skipped, and a line of subtitles appeared on the black screen: The following content is based on real events, only the names, locations, and vegetables have been modified...

Next, a cutscene appears, with thunder in the castle sky at night and raindrops as big as beans falling from the sky.

[After tea time...]

'Finally, this is the moment I have been waiting for for a long time. We have overcome so many difficulties in order to get the food award! '

'Watch it, Kevin! The legendary and delicious Necronomicon! '

As the Onion King muttered to himself, he began to conduct research on undead cooking techniques.

The terrifying cooking spell has created a large amount of zombie bread, and these zombie bread are pouring towards the castle!

To fend off these zombie breads, players must cook enough food to satisfy these monsters.

"Sure enough, the plot of this kind of game is not the focus!" Zhang Yi said with emotion.

"The Onion King has fully demonstrated what it means to be a master if you don't commit suicide!" Wang Han next to him agreed.

The two people made remarks to each other and smiled at each other.

Following the simple plot, the game enters the initial tutorial level.

It's very simple, just WASD action, space interaction and ctrl to chop vegetables.

These are the conventional button settings for most games, and neither Wang Han nor Zhang Yi are game experts.

But I also played a lot of games and got started immediately.

Understand the specific operations of the game.

To put it simply, it means cooking, selecting ingredients, chopping them, some ingredients may need to be fried, then putting them on a plate, and finally serving them.

Some of the dishes require different ingredients to be combined together.

As for the victory conditions of the game, it is also very simple.

In campaign mode, the highest possible score is three stars.

Within a limited time, you will receive a certain amount of tips for each dish served. Once your income reaches a target, you will receive a corresponding evaluation.

The rules can be said to be very simple and easy to understand.

Of course, if all levels are completed with a three-star rating, the game will also open a hidden four-star rating, but this is not something that ordinary players can achieve.

"I know how to play! It's so easy!"

"It feels really good!"

“It would be great if cooking could be this convenient in reality.”

"I think it might be more fun to play with multiple people. Let's clear the campaign level first, and then go to online battles to challenge other players!"

Zhang Yi and Wang Han, one responsible for serving and arranging the dishes, and the other cutting the vegetables, easily passed the first teaching level of the game.

Looking at the three-star perfect rating, both of them looked happy and satisfied.

Before playing it, because of "Escape" and the plot of the undead bread at the beginning, it did have a taste of the underworld.

But now that I’ve simply played it, it’s really fun!

Especially when two people are cooking together and then serving it.

It feels like playing house when I was a kid.

Coupled with the beautification of childhood memories, the entire game journey becomes more warm and interesting!

Looking at the scoring screen for clearing the game, Zhang Yi and Wang Han were both filled with happy smiles.
