Although there is only a simple sentence, there are no other video messages and picture messages, but it is enough to make players feel excited.

The game hasn't been released for a long time. Will this DLC come out?

Countless players are very surprised.

And some players who have not yet cleared the game are a little helpless. This game has not yet passed the game, and the subsequent DLC will come out?

Does this mean that the door is welded to death?

However, for the news revealed by Yang Chen, more players still focused on the sequel.

‘Sure enough, it’s DLC again, meaning no sequel? ’

‘It seems that when President Yang makes his orthodox sequel, I feel it’s far away.’

‘You can’t say that. In fact, I feel that many of the DLC content of Nebula games can be counted as a new game alone. Maybe other game manufacturers can directly make it a so-called sequel. ’

‘Friends, don’t be bold, use affirmation. ’

‘But what kind of story would you say about the DLC in Dark Souls? ’

'New map, new BOSS is certain, and according to the current ending, the player has become the king of soul wandering and the end of the fire extinguishing. It feels like the end of the fire has passed, and if the end of the fire is passed, I feel that it should be more. It's just a cycle, and according to the content of the fire transmission time and time again, the initial fire has become smaller and smaller, and finally it will usher in the end of the fire extinguishment, so DLC should not tell the story afterwards, right? ’

‘+1, I feel that it is likely to tell stories from ancient times, such as the stories of the salary kings, and the origin of the abyss. These are all possible. ’

Players are happily discussing in the game, players who have cleared the purpose of the week, are ready to continue to explore some places in the game that have not been explored.

Players without customs clearance, on the one hand, glanced at the spoiled faces of various game communities and forums, on the one hand, they still suffered silently in the game.

It is at the stage when the game is not released for a long time, and the hotspot of the live broadcast platform and the video website is maintained, which makes "Dark Soul" always maintain a high level of popularity in the player group.

Even though Yang Chen and their team of DLC have just set up to develop new content, and only the official news of Yang Chen has been announced.

But it is enough to make players excited, one by one very serious discussion on the Internet.

As for whether the publicity will be too early, Yang Chen is not very worried, because for the DLC of "Soul of Darkness", the development speed is not very slow.

On the one hand, there is a huge outsourcing team that can take over all the pipeline tasks in the game.

The second is the development of DLC, not the development of a brand new game, everything is developed based on the "Dark Soul" game itself.

Even some modeling is available, of course, although many things are based on the original game can be completed, of course, there are still a lot of work that takes some time, such as the map design in the game.

This content is the most time-consuming DLC ​​development.

As Yang Chen announced the DLC content of "Soul of Darkness" on the official blog, players are more concerned about when they will be able to see the content of DLC and various inquiries about DLC content.

For the doubts of the players, Yang Chen answered on his official blog.

"DLC content of "Dark Soul", in fact, everyone in the game community and forums have also guessed some. If the story of "Dark Soul" is the end of the spread of fire, the era of fire has come to an end, then in the DLC The content is to allow players to see the origin of the myth of the age of fire, the beginning of the world's fire delivery, and why the fire is transmitted. These can be found in the content of the DLC."

"Second in content, players in DLC will face more BOSS monsters, and also have new maps, and the difficulty will also increase slightly, and in order to make players more able to experience The charm of hard-core action games. In the new DLC, we will add an optional difficulty mode for players. Of course, for the new difficulty, we only recommend strong enough fire-passing warriors to experience it."

At the end of the official blog message, Yang Chen sent a big smiley emoticon package.

The choice of giving players new difficulty is not a craze, but a plan already made.

In the game, the NPC's AI is "intelligent". With the development of the VR game platform, in fact, the NPC's AI is also constantly improving. The most intuitive thing is that the NPC's behavior in the game is becoming more and more'intelligent'. .

According to the behavior of the player, get some logical instructions, and then feedback according to the designed plan.

This is the "AI intelligence" in the game. In the previous open-world games, if you want the player to have a greater sense of immersion, this requires a huge amount of detail, which can be said to be a very complicated thing.

Just like some games in dream memory, because the AI ​​in the game does not meet the requirements, it requires the development and production team to grind for several years.

For example, when it comes to the weather system, when it rains, the NPC will enter the house to hide the rain, and will take off its clothes and cover it on the head; at the same time, it will also screen some of the player's reactions.

One of the most typical examples is the BOSS spirit mantis in "Metal Gear 1" in dream memory. It will read what the player wants to do next. Of course, the main reason is to design a small back door so that it can read. Take the player's game archive and the handle data inserted on the excuse.

For some games in dream memory, the application of AI technology in this area is definitely helpful.

The open world, as well as sandbox games, this is a trend of future games, this is undoubtedly a thing.

Although linear has the charm of linear, more mainstream players will still prefer open and sandbox games that allow them to feel free enough. This is beyond doubt.

Putting this change into the DLC of "Dark Soul" is also a decision made by Yang Chen after careful consideration. After all, the players who can buy DLC are basically the players who have passed the "Dark Soul"~www.NovelMTL.com~ They already have enough understanding of this game.

Of course, the simpler and more straightforward thing to say is that this group of players who have already passed the customs clearance have a stronger ability to suffer.

Think about when you are facing the Dao Dao, you are going to lift the shield around, and kick the Dao Dao kick off the cliff with one foot, and then the other party will take you away one by one. feel.

As for the new difficulty, Yang Chen also gave it a nice name.

‘Death mode! ’

Originally in the dream memory, "Dark Soul" actually has a so-called dead version, but it is just a name, and some fine-tuning on the data and DLC content.

But now this Yang Chen can pat the chest and tell the players that this different difficulty is definitely a brand new game experience, and it is fully worthy of the name of "dead".

The price of one DLC, two different happy experiences, their Nebula game is so intimate, not artificial at all.
