Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

The lounge of Nebula Game Headquarters.

Chen Xu was drinking tea while looking at relevant data information.

"Mr. Chen, these "Final Fantasy" peripherals are selling out so fast."

Beside him, Qin Yi was filled with emotion.

"It's normal. On the one hand, there are new game projects, which are currently very popular."

"And the characters are really good."

Chen Xu smiled and said.

It can be said that compared to the plot, the characters are a very important part of this game.

Because every character in the game can be said to be quite beautiful.

No matter which game it is, you can criticize its gameplay and its plot.

But in terms of art and character design, "Final Fantasy" is impeccable.

Characters like Sephiroth, Zack, and Cloud are really awesome.

And if you observe carefully, you will find that Sephiroth, Cloud and Zack all have different personalities.

Aloof, sunny, restrained, it’s all there!

“I feel like the profits from the subsequent peripherals will be as much as those from the games!”

Meng Zuo beside him couldn't help but sigh.

"It's normal because there's more variety."

Hearing Meng Zuo's words, Chen Xu smiled.

The surrounding area is completely different.

The figure segment is actually the least profitable product.

As small as mobile phone cases, keychains, and mouse pads, the bulk of the collaborations are those with low unit prices.

"The only regrettable thing is that this player is such a thief!?"

Chen Xu, who was leaning on the sofa, shook his head and couldn't help but feel emotional while watching the discussion among online players.

Why did he bring up that conversation before?

Of course it's just to distract the players.

But I didn't expect that these players knew him so well, they were like roundworms in their stomachs.

Instead of extinguishing the topic, it actually burned it even brighter.

"Mr. Chen, your reputation makes it so that players don't even have to think about it!" Ruan Ningxue complained.

"Exactly! In the past, Mr. Chen, you would try to struggle, but now it's useless to struggle." Yang Xin, holding a cup of milk tea, also sat down and echoed.

In the past, Chen Xu gave out knives to players, which meant giving a candy and then stabbing him with a knife, and then pretending that he had changed his mind, hoping to change the player's impression of him.

Two years ago, this method was indeed very effective and deceived a large number of players.

But as time goes by, the games launched by Nebula Games over the years basically have the same meaning: showdown, no more acting, I just want to mess with you!

"This is just like resistance. The player's resistance is 0 at the beginning, and then Mr. Chen, you increase the player's resistance to 100%!" Yang Xin concluded.

"Yes, yes, and other game manufacturers in the past two years have been more inclined to create a perfect family ending. This is also your credit, Mr. Chen!" Ruan Ningxue said.

Although games are commodities, excellent games are also an expression of art. Many thoughtful designers often create some in-depth content.

The audience of Heishencan is too small and it is likely to affect sales, so more designers choose to hand out knives to players through tragedy.

But under Nebula Games, you can basically grab a handful with your eyes closed, and seven out of ten games in your hand will be filled with tragedies.

This also makes players' psychological endurance become stronger and stronger. If they happen to encounter Nebula Games, they will also produce a game that is biased towards tragedy.

Players will naturally make comparisons unconsciously. If they can't win by gameplay and the plot plays a relatively important role, then in this comparison, their characters will not be as tragic as Nebula games, and 80% of their abilities will be wasted.

But the happy ending is different. The tears and regrets that players shed on Nebula Games can be made up for by them!

It may not have much depth, but the sales are great!

Just after the end of "Final Fantasy", a large number of fun games were launched one after another, not to mention that they sold well.

"Don't tell me that I am guilty of a heinous crime. You see the players scolding me, but the money in the wallet has not stopped. What does this mean? What I say is not what I mean!" Chen Xu smiled and looked at Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue. Two people said.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, the two people sitting on the sofa couldn't help but curled their lips.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, do you want to continue to reset our old games?" Thinking of something, Qin Yi said to Chen Xu.

Game reset is a craze in the industry right now.

The most important thing is that it is a trend brought by overseas atari.

Although it has released several new games in a row, they have not achieved much popularity, so Atari has also changed its strategy and focused on its own old IP.

The original intention was to cut off the emotional leeks of a wave of players, but it turned out that it did not expect to be a big seller. Even the sales volume of the reset version was higher than that of the original version.

All of a sudden, it triggered a reset craze in the industry.

Among them, some classic games under Nebula Games have also been put on players’ agenda.

For example, "Monster Hunter: World" and "Dark Soul" were the first batch of old games launched by Nebula Games on PC back then, and players have proposed plans to reset them.

Although these games, Nebula Games were also transplanted to the VR platform.

But it is the earliest VR version. Not to mention the latest technology, even with the platform dispute between Zeus and Huanyu a few years ago, these games have not released next-generation versions.

And now the world and zeus platforms have also launched pro versions with higher configurations. In the past, the old games of Nebula Games were indeed nothing in terms of graphics performance.

"Red Dead Redemption", which shocked the industry at the time, can only be said to have performed well, while "Uncharted" and others cannot be regarded as industry benchmarks.

"Reset? It's not necessary. The picture is not really behind the stage of being unplayable." Chen Xu shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary.

The graphics are indeed very old, but in fact, although there is no official reset, there are still various folk graphics enhancement mods.

Even for stand-alone games, there are many new bugs that have been discovered after the content has been released in one or two years and stopped updating. Basically, players have launched corresponding patches, and then Nebula Games discovered them through the community forum. To sum up, A big official bug.

In this case, just resetting the screen does not make much sense.

"However, I have noticed one thing. Players have always been reluctant to part with difficult games!" Chen Xu sighed with emotion.

Everyone:? ? ? ?

"Mr. Chen, how did you notice it?" Qin Yi was a little confused. When he just said it, he could feel that Chen Xu didn't know about the reset.

"Didn't you tell me that? "Dark Soul" and "Monster Hunter: World", how obvious!" Chen Xu said seriously.

Can you still understand it this way?

Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue were shocked next to them.

"However, if you put it this way, I think this direction is very good! We haven't made a difficult game for many years. The last time we made it was "Sekiro"."

Listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone thought of something. Qin Yi's voice trembled a little: "So Mr. Chen...?"

"Didn't the players say that "Final Fantasy" is too painful and they don't want to watch the tragedy? Let's give the players some fun this time. Well, the next project is decided to be Souls!" Chen Xu smiled slightly.

Ruan Ningxue, Yang Xin and others:…………

Are you sure you are looking for some fun for the players, not yourself?

Everyone was numb.

……………………

The popularity of the "Final Fantasy" game has begun to decline day by day. After all, this is just a story-oriented stand-alone game, and there is not much replayable content. Unless you are an avid player, there is no need for two games.

However, the popularity of each character in the game has not decreased at all. The major video platforms are full of mash-ups of charming characters such as Sephiroth, Zack, Aerith, Cloud, and Tifa, as well as various This kind of fan work can't help but make players sigh that it's really good for their good looks and good looks!

And at this time, a piece of news appeared that shocked many players.

That is on the official blog, Nebula Games announced a piece of news: an online press conference for new projects will be held soon, and Mr. Chen will personally introduce the types of new projects.

In an instant, countless players were shocked!

Isn't this just a short time before "Final Fantasy" was released?

According to usual practice, Nebula Games is not allowed to fish for a period of time?

Why are you so productive this time?

‘Damn it, Mr. Chen has released a new game? Is this sow transformed? ’

‘No one else has this frequency! I just want to know whether this project was established before "Final Fantasy" or after it! ? ’

‘I don’t know what type it is! ’

‘Online press conference? Damn it, how many years has it been? Mr. Chen is holding an online press conference in person! ? ’

Players were very puzzled, including the gaming media in the industry, who were also shocked.

Although Nebula Games will hold press conferences for new games, unlike in the early years, Chen Xu will no longer be involved in them personally.

But this time, Chen Xu actually took action himself?

Big news!

However, what depresses many game media is that interviews are completely rejected, even from media like Game Star and Gamespot that have always cooperated closely with Nebula Games.

On the day of the online press conference, Chen Xu’s live broadcast room was filled with countless players from all over the world.

Because there were so many people, the official side even had to limit the number of barrages to be sent every five minutes. But even so, it was still rolling like a waterfall. Even when the barrages were turned on, the content in the live broadcast room was no longer visible.

‘Fuck! Why haven't you started yet? ? ’

‘A second is like a year! It’s been more than a hundred years, why hasn’t Mr. Chen started yet! ’

‘I don’t know what type it is! ’

‘Needless to say, this must be big news! ’

Amid the expectations of countless players, Chen Xu soon appeared in the live broadcast room.

But what surprises many players is that there is a piece of white paper in front of the screen.

At this time, Chen Xu's voice also came out.

"I believe that countless players are curious about what new projects we want to announce during today's online conference."

"First of all, let us understand the type of this unknown game. It will be an open world game with a huge map!"

As Chen Xu finished speaking, countless barrages began to flood the screen.

‘Fuck! Here it comes, the open world is here again! ’

'Zelda? Big cousin? The Elder Scrolls? wizard? ’

Countless players who like open worlds are excited!

But Chen Xu's voice continued.

"This will be a game with arpg attributes!"

Players who like "Red Dead Redemption" can't help but feel disappointed.

"The game has certain decryption elements, a variety of weapon systems, and branches that require players to explore carefully."

Avid Witcher: Wild Hunt fans, sigh.

Players of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" feel a little trembling because they all meet these criteria!

"Finally, the theme of this game is an epic fantasy masterpiece!"

As Chen Xu finished speaking, the barrage filled the screen like crazy.

‘Awesome! Grab the root treasure! Awesome! ’

‘Long live the Empire! ’

'Long live the Stormcloaks! ’

‘Invincible! The root treasure is invincible! ’

Countless people who like "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" sat in front of the computer and cheered.

But the next moment, the sound coming from the headphones and speakers made their expressions freeze.

"Yes! That's right, the name of this game is - "Elden Ring"! (elden ring)"
