Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Along with the promotion video of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

More and more players are discussing it in various communities and forums.

For gamers, any topic that can spark some debate will be something they are eager to discuss.

It can be said that players are a very persistent group, and they can explain the profound meaning of any small detail.

It's probably the same as when you were doing reading comprehension in junior high school. One punctuation mark and one Chinese character can analyze a short composition of several hundred words.

And as the scope of the discussion expands, it is not even limited to the player group.

Some language scholars also joined in the fun.

After all, linguistics is a relatively unpopular field, and most people may not even know that such a subject exists.

And the dragon language in "The Elder Scrolls" does have some related meanings. Coupled with the popularity of the Nebula game, it is not too surprising.

‘Obviously the Draconic language in “The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim” is a fictional language, but judging from the content shown so far, it should be based on Germanic language. ’

The retest form of 'kell is kelle, which is quite common in Germanic languages. In addition, the combination of dov and k can just form the dragonborn mentioned in the video, where k in English is the tribe. ’

As more and more analyzes emerged, countless players were stunned.

Is there really anything to say about co-authorship?

Regarding language issues in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.

It quickly became a mainstream hot topic.

After all, creating a language is really curious.

Of course, this is because "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" really has no other content for players to discuss.

Although the promotional video and information make players feel that the background setting of the game is quite grand, it is still difficult to analyze just by relying on a promotional video.

But the Song of the Dragonborn in the promotional video, coupled with the dragon-language lines, obviously has many directions and gimmicks that can be discussed.

‘How can creating a language be so simple? And this is just a promotional trailer. ’

‘That’s right, what can we tell from just a promotional trailer? ’

‘Haha, didn’t you see the professor’s reprint on the official blog not long ago? Isn't this expert in linguistics better than you as a keyboard warrior? ’

‘You know so much, why didn’t you become a professor? ’

‘Fuck, you just look at the front and not the back. The language is not difficult. The key is recognition and completeness. Take it out of context, right? ’

On major community websites, there are players exploring, and of course there are also various quarrels.

Including in the Nebula game, Chen Xu was a little surprised when he looked at the various debates on the Internet.

The promotional video for "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is just to warm up the game.

There is nothing good to say about this, but what surprised Chen Xu was that the players' attention was actually attracted by the dragon language in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

From a linguistic point of view, the dragon language in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is not made up randomly.

But there is still no way to formulate large paragraphs of words.

Compared with the Quenya language created by Tolkien in the previous life and the Klingon language of Star Trek, it still lacks some flavor.

But compared to "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", there is no problem in making some basic structures.

"But we can do some work on publicity." Looking at the hot discussion among online players, and at the same time seeing Atari's previous promotional advertisement for a new game, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile and called the person in charge of the marketing department. I came over, talked for about 20 minutes and then sent an official blog.

Soon, players who were still discussing Dragon Language-related topics on the Internet discovered this new content updated on Chen Xu’s official blog.

'As for Dragon Language, it did draw lessons from languages ​​​​such as Finnish, Germanic and Cuneiform. While creating Dragon Language, many linguistics professors were invited as consultants. It is not just a random fabrication. 2 is too similar. Dragon language has a total of 34 letters. ’

'There are 25 single sounds, pronunciation, and the characters of dragon language are all three strokes, drawing on ancient cuneiform writing. ’

‘But the so-called Dragon Language is only a virtual language for game design, and it is far from being considered an independent language type. ’

'In addition, in the game, players can learn more about Dragon Language through the game content, and in the game we will add some unique dungeons, dungeons related to Dragon Language, the game will There is a dedicated dragon language challenge task that contains elements of puzzle solving. ’

‘In addition, when “The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim” is launched, the first player to complete the decryption will receive a reward of US$300,000. ’

‘In addition, in the game, we have also added a large number of random Dragon Language easter eggs that can be explored and collected. The top ten players who are the first to reveal the easter eggs will receive a VR game warehouse as a reward, and the top 1,000 players will receive 2 coupons. ’

‘Finally, here is a study sheet related to Dragon Language. ’

With the release of Chen Xu's official blog, it instantly attracted the attention of countless players.

On the one hand, Chen Xu admitted something about Long Yu, and on the other hand, Nebula Games was actually planning to add corresponding levels to the game.

A fixed challenge mission about dragon language, the first player to clear the level will also receive a reward of US$300,000?

There are also non-fixed and randomly distributed Dragon Language easter eggs.

This immediately attracted the attention of many players.

On the one hand, the rewards of the event are really generous, and on the other hand, it is the momentum created by dragon language.

In an instant, related terms such as "The Elder Scrolls" and "Dragon Language" directly dominated the hot headlines.

At the same time, it was originally planned to be launched in this period, but because of the emergence of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", the decision was made to delay the release. In the Atari conference room, the relevant personnel saw the news about the Nebula game online, and the corners of their mouths suddenly twitched. .

There are prizes for clearing levels and solving puzzles. Why is this set so familiar?

Isn't this the sword-hunting event Atari took the lead in developing "Elemental World" to compete with "Uncharted"?

And why are you so popular and so hardcore?

Playing a game requires learning a language, and it’s a virtual language!

Watching countless players on the Internet discussing topics related to "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" Dragon Language.

Some people even set up live broadcasts to learn dragon language.

Not only Atari, but also other game manufacturers felt confused for a while.

Nebula Games, this always gives them something new to do!
