Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Finally arrived at the destination, University of East Korodo.

Joel and Ellie continue to search for clues about Firefly.

But when they arrived at the university laboratory, they discovered that Huoying had already gone and the building was empty, leaving only infected corpses.

However, Joel and the others still got some key clues here, that is, Firefly moved to St. Mary's Hospital in Salt Lake City to the west.

But just as Joel was about to leave, they bumped into hunters who came here to search for supplies.

During the fight, Joel fell from the roof and was pierced through the abdomen by a steel bar.

The serious injury left Joel extremely weak and covered in blood. Fortunately, Ellie was reliable enough to deal with the remaining enemies alone.

This journey can be said to be difficult.

Especially the visual simulation of Joel's serious injury in the game makes the player feel Joel's weakness.

Finally, when the two were about to ride away, Joel finally fell to the ground and lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.

After a period of black screen, when the screen appeared again, it was already winter.

The first thing that appeared on the screen was a cute bunny.

But before Rabbit could even take two steps, an arrow shot through Rabbit.

It turns out to be Ellie who is hunting.

Judging from the message she muttered to herself, Joel should still be alive.

This made Li Yue breathe a sigh of relief.

Ellie then spots a deer, but while chasing the deer, Ellie encounters two passers-by.

In the subsequent conversation, Ellie learned the name and purpose of the other party. The middle-aged man was named David. According to him, he wanted to exchange something for the deer in Ellie's hand.

Ellie, on the other hand, asked them if they had any antibiotics without thinking.

David said he agreed to the deal and asked the young man next to him to go back to get the medicine, but on the way a group of infected people arrived unexpectedly.

After a fierce battle, David and Ellie were keeping warm in the house. At this time, Ellie seemed to relax some of her vigilance towards David.

But in the next conversation, David looked at Ellie and said something.

Some time ago, he sent a team of men to go out in search of food, but they were killed by a madman, and the madman also took a little girl with him.

At this moment, Ellie realized that the visitor was evil, but the other party unexpectedly let Ellie leave.

Ellie returned to the hiding place, and Joel was still lying on the ground unconscious. Ellie got the antibiotics to save him.

But soon the enemy arrived.

Because of what Ellie did, David and the others understood one thing.

That means Joel must be injured, otherwise Ellie wouldn't want to find medicine.

The purpose of letting Ellie go is to follow the traces of Ellie's departure and find where Joel is.

Realizing this, Ellie immediately decided to lure these hunters away.

Although many enemies were eliminated, Ellie was still outnumbered and captured.

Waking up from the cell, Ellie found that the hunter outside was cutting up a living person.

Apparently the food for these hunters is humans.

At this time, their leader David appeared, and the other party revealed his true face.

This guy is a huge pervert and a copper smelter!

Facing David's dirty purpose, Ellie was naturally unmoved and even broke off one of David's fingers.

This made David angry and decided to directly turn Ellie into their food.

………………

And just when Ellie was in crisis, Joel finally woke up.

Looking at Joel who had regained consciousness, Li Yue was very surprised.

After waking up, Joel endured the pain of his wound and struggled to stand up. The first thing he did was to call Ellie's name. His concern was beyond words.

After being with Ellie for such a long time and experiencing countless life and death crises, Joel clearly understands what Ellie means to him.

With his injuries still not healed, Joel struggled to defeat David's men and successfully captured two of them alive.

The cruel interrogation methods that followed did not make the players feel uncomfortable, but instead gave them a sense of relief from venting their anger.

But what followed was more worry, worrying about what was happening to Ellie at this moment.

But Ellie over there is not waiting for Joel to save her like most games or movie scenes.

Instead, Ellie used her resourcefulness to escape and used the blizzard to find a way out of the town.

This plot is a two-line narrative, and the player's perspective constantly switches between Joel and Ellie.

Inside the restaurant, the only BOSS battle in the game will take place.

The targets are not scary zombies, but the same human beings.

Here Ellie needs to hide her whereabouts and go around in circles with David to assassinate him three times from behind.

It can be said to be quite difficult, especially since Ellie couldn't make a sound during the whole process, but there were broken glass in some places on the ground.

Li Yue failed to master it the first time and died here again.

After successfully assassinating three times, David is successfully defeated to trigger the plot.

Facing David's sneak attack from behind and knocking him to the ground, Ellie directly picked up the kitchen knife next to her and slashed at David's head.

A total of eleven cuts fully told everyone what the end of copper smelting would be like.

At this time, Joel finally arrived. He hugged Ellie and comforted her softly. Ellie also burst into tears in Joel's arms.

From the Boston quarantine to now arriving at St. Mary's Hospital in Salt Lake City, from summer to fall to winter.

They experienced countless difficulties and life and death crises along the way.

At this moment, both Joel and Ellie understood how important the other was to them.

By the time we get here, the plot of the game has come to an end.

The relationship between Joel and Ellie has changed significantly after experiencing spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

From indifference at the beginning, to trust later and now.

The other person is an indispensable presence in his life.

The conversation between the two people during the journey became more tender and richer.

Joel told Ellie that when this was all over, he would teach Ellie how to play guitar.

Passing through the sunlight and corridors full of ups and downs.

The scene in front of them made everyone who played here was stunned.

There is a giraffe eating in the front, and not only this one, but also its group in the distance.

Ellie stayed where she was. Born in the apocalypse, she had never seen such a graceful animal.

Under Joel's guidance, Ellie gently walked forward and stroked the giraffe's neck.

Countless giraffes chewed green leaves leisurely and moved forward calmly with their tails swaying. The delicacy and beauty of life were fully displayed.

The end of the world is only relative to humans.

But for animals, the world seems to be a better place.

Here, Joel looks at Ellie and tells her that they don't necessarily have to go to Firefly at this time.

They could go back, to Tommy's town, which could accommodate them.

But Ellie still refused, after all, they had already paid so much.

Finally, the two people successfully arrived at Huoying's base.

Facing Joel, Fire Queen Marlin, who had returned to the base, seemed a little incredible.

Because she never expected that Joel and Ellie would be able to travel thousands of miles from the Boston Quarantine Zone to find Firefly's base.

However, in the following conversation, the cruel truth is revealed in front of the player.

According to Ma Lin, the Cordyceps fungus mutated in Ellie's body.

That's why Ellie is immune to the virus, but this mutation has already arrived in Ellie's brain.

In order to understand the principle of immunity, researchers must remove the Cordyceps fungus that has spread to Ellie's brain, and then they can conduct reverse research to develop a vaccine.

And such research would obviously kill Ellie.

Joel asked Marlene to find other people to study, but Marlene told Joel that this was impossible because only Ellie had been discovered in twenty years.

So Marlene imprisoned Joel.

At this moment, Joel made a decision.

Joel has never been a noble man.

When the apocalypse happens, he tells Tommy to ignore people asking for help on the street.

Because inside the car was his world, his daughter Sarah.

After the apocalypse, in order to survive, he worked as a hunter and a smuggler.

And now, he finally has a new world.

Twenty years ago, his world was destroyed; twenty years later, he would never allow his world to be destroyed again.

Find an opportunity to fight back, then force out Ellie's whereabouts, and fight against all the armed forces in the Firefly base alone.

At this moment, Joel was like a lone wolf full of wildness.

Throughout the entire game "The Last of Us", in most of the previous situations, stealth is required to reach the target.

But at this moment, I don't know if it was Li Yue's illusion. He felt that the rhythm of the entire game had changed.

There is no route planning, no stealth assassination.

At this moment, both the player and Joel had only one thought.

That is to find Ellie quickly.

Because every second every night, Ellie is in danger of death.

To hell with saving the world, he just wanted to save Ellie, the little girl he spent time with every day.

Finally, at the last moment, Joel broke through all the fireflies' defenses and came to the operating room to save Ellie.

In the parking lot, Joel killed Marlene and left Firefly with the unconscious Ellie.

Facing Ellie who woke up in the car, Joel panicked.

He told her that there were actually many immune people besides her in Huoying.

But it couldn't help at all, and now Huoying has given up.

Next, they plan to return to Tommy's town to start a new life.

On the way to the small town, Ellie told Joel her thoughts.

'When I was bitten in Boston... I wasn't alone, my best friend was there and she was bitten too. ’

'We didn't know what to do, so...she said [Let's just wait and see what happens, maybe we can become crazy together, it's very poetic]'

'I was still waiting for my turn, and her name was Riley, and she was the first victim I saw. ’

'Then Tess, then'

His best friends, Tess and Sam whom he met on the road, all died of infection.

If possible, Ellie wants to change everything, even at the expense of herself.

She looked at Joel: 'Swear to me, everything you said about Firefly is true. ’

There was no hesitation in facing Ellie. Joel looked directly at Ellie, nodded and said seriously: ‘I swear. ’

At this point, the game is over.

The game screen fell into darkness, and the game's production credits list has appeared.

But Li Yue was still immersed in the plot of the game.

Because there are too many things to think about in the entire game, and there are too many things worth recalling.

Every character in the game and every hidden detail is full of profound meaning. This is not a flawless story but it is so heavy.

This is a complete single-threaded game, and it is not what the players thought. In the end, everything went in the right direction.

Li Yue felt that there was still a lot of content in the game that he had not discovered.

But there was only one thing he was sure of now.

That is "The Last of Us", it is definitely a masterpiece!
