Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

For many players, Brawl is an exciting game.

And as time goes by, some master-level players basically have a certain understanding of the mechanics and concepts of Super Smash Bros.

Just like the Link operation that Chen Xu released before, it is no longer amazing. After all, it was just wooden stakes at that time.

In true high-end online battles, when a player's fighter's combat effectiveness ends, they can start a VIP event, and players who can compete in VIP events are basically those who have mastered a fighter.

For these players, ordinary players gave them a very appropriate title, that is: monsters!

Each fighter is almost out of control in their hands. As for fighting, one life can kill three of them.

Of course, this situation is normal for many games.

For example, in the Elden Ring of Souls game, some players may have a level 300 bucket number, with a +10 hound tusk and a +10 black knife Dixi or a bionic teardrop, but there is no way to beat it. Valkyrie, but some players can defeat the Valkyrie without any damage at level 1.

In terms of competition, players don't know Chen Xu's positioning on the Brawl. Without seeing the official event, they can't help but feel a little regretful.

However, there is no shortage of events organized by various third parties, which can be regarded as diverting a lot of players' attention.

And as the popularity of Super Smash Bros. continues to grow, even sales of the Switch have seen a wave of recovery.

This has also made many players complain. It is just another year of tinkering. The VR game warehouse has launched a pro version, and the next era is said to be coming.

But this old handheld console, which Nebula Games has been online for several years, except for a wave of screen, memory and battery life updates midway, is still the same as before, but the sales volume is still very strong, simply!

Chen Xu obviously has no idea about the complaints made by these players online.

But even if he knew it, Chen Xu still had no fluctuations in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.

Although Nebula Games also wants to update a new version, they can't resist the over enthusiasm of you players. The production of this game can't keep up, so how can they bother to develop a new generation!

And compared to these, Chen Xu currently has more important things.

………………

Laboratory at the Game Department Technology Park

Chen Xu and a group of top domestic game designers looked at the drawings and corresponding demonstrations on the computer screen with dumbfounded expressions.

Because what this drawing demonstrated really shocked them too much.

That is perfect neural access technology.

The current VR technology actually already supports this aspect.

And all major manufacturers have already applied it, including many games such as "World of Warcraft", which have already applied this technology.

But it's just for information reading.

At the same time, the visual effects brought by VR technology are actually approaching the bottleneck, such as light tracking, vibration feedback, sound effects, and picture precision. Judging from the performance of the game, as long as game manufacturers are willing to spend money, they can achieve unlimited results. Getting closer to reality.

There is no way to improve it no matter how much it is improved, and the game does not have to be better if the graphics are more awesome, it is just that it can be expressed most directly in this area.

But the VR game warehouse that Chen Xu and the others are seeing this time is different. It uses a semi-sleep mechanism, which is similar to a method of hypnosis, allowing players to subconsciously think that they are in the world of the game.

It can only be said that this thing is simply a black technology.

"Damn it, is this too awesome?"

“I feel like if it’s really what it said, it will probably subvert the future gaming industry!”

"Yes, and the operation of the game, including the perspective design, needs to be completely overturned."

"That's true, but I feel the need to feel sorry for those game design students in universities. If this is really popular, then they will have wasted their studies in the past few years!"

The designers who participated in this secret invitation were all the best in the country, but now they didn't care about their own image, and some even used foul language.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think?" At this time, someone suddenly asked Chen Xu.

After hearing this, some other designers who were still discussing also looked at Chen Xu.

After all, if you want to say who is the number one designer in the world, it is undoubtedly the man in front of you.

"Security is the key issue. Minister Yang has not heard anything about this next-generation VR. Didn't we specifically ask us to participate in the safety test when the VR game warehouse was launched on the market?" Chen Xu said after hearing this.

This is where he is confused. After all, when the VR game warehouse was launched, it also participated in security testing.

The technology of this new game warehouse involves cutting-edge nerves and information transmission. He doesn't understand these technologies. The only thing that makes him more confused is that it is silent. How does this security content pass?

Some other game designers also showed curious expressions.

"This is all thanks to you, Mr. Chen!" Hearing this, Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Thanks to me?!" Chen Xu looked confused.

"No! The "Silent Hill pt" demo you developed back then, Mr. Chen, was quite easy to use. We optimized the picture quality and let people who had never played the demo test it to make sure it was accurate."

"And Mr. Chen, you have developed a lot of games over the years. The complete versions of "Silent Hill" and "Resident Evil" without the combat system are quite good test materials, including the Forbidden Forest in "Bloodborne" , and the royal city sewers in "Elden Ring" that you developed not long ago. Adjust the brightness and performance, they are all excellent content!" Yang Chen laughed and said.

The other designers around him all had strange expressions, but they looked back and thought about it carefully.

Guyu

It seems... it seems to make sense!

If you have not played these games before and it is your first time to play them, delete the combat system, and then adjust the brightness in the game appropriately and process the shots specially.

Imagine it, hiss..., this is just about any style you want!

If you want psychological depression, there is Silent Hill, if you want blood and horror, there is Resident Evil, if you want weirdness and curiosity, Bloodborne and Elden's Ring can satisfy it.

Thinking about it this way, the designs of these games are so perverted and hellish!

Let’s think about the vivid robbery gameplay of Payday developed by Mr. Chen before.

Thanks to Mr. Chen for becoming a game designer, otherwise it would be of no benefit to society at all!

"So Minister Yang, this time is mainly for us to make a fuss about the content of next-generation VR?" Chen Xu said to Yang Chen.

"Yes, although this generation of Universal VR has completely surpassed Zeus's market share, it has not yet determined its victory. However, in this next era, we have reduced the cost of new era VR, and it is fully capable of serving civilians. This is a good opportunity to establish a new round of industry rules." Yang Chen's expression became serious.

Chen Xu understood.

To put it bluntly, it is very simple. It is nothing more than determining market share and planning the rules of the game industry.

Next, Chen Xu and other designers also continued to visit the display of the new VR effects, and had a rough idea of ​​its performance and features.

Regarding the market and security, their designers are not concerned about it. The game department has quite mature plans for this area.

For them, the more important thing is the content.

And there are some differences this time, that is, there needs to be obvious market targeting.

The themes and types all need to be escorted for new VR.

Designers who can participate this time are also having intense discussions.

"FPS, RPG and APRG are the three most mainstream types."

"It's different, it's different. Judging from the content I just experienced, it's obvious that next-generation VR focuses on immersion. I think action-adventure games like The Last of Us and Uncharted are even better."

"There is also a theme. Regardless of the genre, this theme also has a more suitable direction for different regions."

"And one thing is very important, that is, this is a zz mission, right? For the layout of the next era, the review will be relaxed and you can be bolder!"

"I think too much. We are different from ordinary designers. The current line is already considered the bottom layer. If it protrudes further below, we will be protruded."

"Don't sound so scary! It's the work that's being disturbed, not the person!"

"By the way, Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

A group of designers gathered together to talk about relevant information, and the topic came to Chen Xu. After all, this identity and status are here.

"My thoughts? There are indeed some. In fact, regardless of the type of game, whether it is fps, rpg or arpg, I think there are two directions." Chen Xu pondered for a while and said.

"The first aspect is gameplay, and the so-called gameplay is nothing more than various gameplay systems extended by collection, development, etc. Whether it is an action game, an FPS game, or an RPG, there is no escape from the two aspects of collection and development. The elements are just like the foundation of a house, these two points are the roots!”

"The second direction is the experience brought about by the plot. Needless to say more about this."

"Judging from the performance in the early stage of the next era, it is obvious that the effect will be better if it focuses on the plot content."

Everyone present was also thoughtful. Those who can come here are the top in the industry.

Naturally, I know what Chen Xu means. It’s not that gameplay is unimportant, but that judging from the performance and characteristics of the current next-generation VR, plot-oriented games that can directly bring immersive experience obviously have more advantages.

And for them now, it is important to have the most intuitive content when the next-generation VR goes online, thereby attracting players to join their camp.

Just like every sub-era in previous lives, they will make a fuss about the picture. When the picture reaches a bottleneck, they will make a fuss about the hard disk reading speed. When these contents also reach the bottleneck, the controller and sound effects are the most effective. Any point where players feel a direct change will become a point of fuss.

"In terms of game development, I think we can discuss that we should avoid car crashes of the same type as much as possible. Even if the car crash follow-up publicity and launch time are staggered as much as possible." At this time, a designer proposed something.

After all, the significance of this time is of great importance, and it is different from the usual purely commercial disputes.

But after the words fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Xu.

Obviously everyone present has the same idea. Who can come here if they are afraid?

But there is only one person who makes them all a little scared.

"Ahem, I do have some ideas for a new game."

"Domestic, island countries, and Europe and the United States. Our Nebula Games will be responsible for these three markets in the future. As for the genre, it is RPG and action adventure."

Everyone:? ? ? ?

Everyone was stunned.

What you are saying is human language! ?

Responsible for three markets? The biggest areas in the gaming industry are these three directions.

Why don't you include Africa as well? ?
