Chapter 426: Small means in game design

Tariq, a kid who has just entered high school, is now sitting in the bedroom with his father, opening the last survivor game box that he just bought with his dad.

In fact, although there are ESRB and other rating agencies abroad, in fact, even for M-level games, you can still easily buy such games before reaching the age of 17.

Of course there are always exceptions. For example, you happen to meet some very serious people in some stores.

In this case, you either choose to persuade your parents to come forward, or you are looking for a place to sell your game.

"Data disk and game disk, I thought I needed to change the disk halfway!" Looking at the instructions in the game box, Tariq was very happy.

As Tariq's father, he just sat on the sofa next to him and watched Tariq fiddle with the game he wanted.

God knows the meaning of the villains on these TVs, it might be better to watch a ball game.

Tariq didn't know what he was thinking about watching his father. He couldn't wait to get into the game.

After spending some time to successfully install the game, when removing the game disk, Tariq was like a devout believer, carefully put the disc into it, fearing that it would be damaged due to his mistakes.

Along with a black screen, the title flashed through the LOGO of Tianhe Network, then EA's LOGO, and the name of the technology company involved in the game production.

Like most players entering the game for the first time, these pictures without a little content at the beginning, he is not willing to skip, even if the names of many of the companies he does not know what those companies are doing, what is the game What kind of efforts have been made in the birth of.

After waiting for the scenes, the dark screen finally had a movement. With the light and shouts slowly appearing, the player has seen the protagonist in the game, Joel who appeared in the promotional video before.

It's just that compared with the uncle Joel in the promotional video, he is much younger now, and the girl next to him is not Ellie in the promotional video.

Then the camera scanned the entire room, allowing players to see the layout of the room, the TV set on, the clean tableware and chopsticks, as well as some fruits, tables and chairs.

After the camera is scanned, the player can start to control Joel's free movement and talk to his daughter.

Just like the heavy rain playing QD, QTE operation according to the instructions of the content, coupled with the NPC gives people a very warm family game.

There were gunshots, screams, and weird roars outside the house.

Following the system instructions that appeared next to him, Tariq found a pistol in the drawer next to it, and then loaded the pistol with a bullet.

Then the door of the house was suddenly knocked open, and a man with a blood-stained expression rushed in.

Although he didn't understand what this was, Joel immediately stood in front of his daughter and raised his hand to raise the pistol. At this time, Tariq's picture showed the aiming sight.

Follow the system prompts, aim at the head of the zombie and pull the trigger.

After that, it is logical to observe the situation outside and take their daughter into the garage car. They are going to leave here.

The burning fire in the whole city, the people who fled, the crying and screaming and the roaring echoed in the ears, accompanied by gunfire and explosions from unknown sources, crashes on the streets and cars that were also running. The town is like purgatory.

After running away, the only bullets in his hands countered the zombies, and finally their bullets were used up, and there were a group of zombies chasing after him, and the car was out of oil.

On the highway between the mountains, Joel carried his daughter's crazy escape until they reached the intersection of the highway, and a group of soldiers with guns were blocking the highway.

After seeing the zombies, the soldiers fired all the zombies behind Joel, and then heard that the leading soldier was talking through the radio intercom.

"Sir, there are two survivors here, but one of them is a little girl..."

After being silent for about a second or two, the soldier continued: ‘Yes, sir. ’

For a moment Joel seemed to understand something, holding her daughter's hands tighter, trying to persuade each other with words: "Listen, friend, we have just escaped..."

Before the words were finished, a group of soldiers slowly raised the muzzle, and Joel immediately took his daughter and turned to escape towards the **** next to him.

Along with a burst of gunshots, the lens suddenly pulled up, and what appeared in the lens was the wild environment and the town with flames in the distance.

Some bleak orchestral background sounds slowly sounded, and a list of main actors appeared on the screen. Finally, after the screen was completely dark, the name of the game appeared in the middle of the screen-``The Last of Us'' (The Last of Us).

It is still accompanied by some bleak orchestral background sounds before. This time it is not just the Bill that has been manipulated, but the game animation through real-time calculations.

Earlier cutscenes were usually played using pre-recorded CG, so there are some games with a particularly large 50G game capacity, and 40G are CG animations. In addition to considering the function at the time, the most important thing is the time. The technical performance is not satisfactory.

But nowadays, few games use this method, and everyone prefers to use real-time calculations, because the game's picture is no longer lost to the picture made with CG.

The sudden virus infects the town and establishes a quarantine area, but later medical experts around the world failed to study antidote with private companies, the news was leaked out, the world fell into panic, and the virus began to spread.

Cults, the army, and civil organizations, clues appear in the titles of the game. There is no imaginary desolation. Instead, in this ruin of civilization, the original civilization is preserved in another form.

But this looks even darker.

Tariq, sitting in front of the computer, didn't know how to describe his feelings, and he couldn't tell clearly that he felt that the pattern of this game seemed quite big.

Well, for players of his age, it is far less fun to play zombies than to understand the background of the game.

After the end of the opening, the screen fell into darkness, and then light slowly appeared, Joel opened his eyes.

Compared with the previous Joel, Joel now looks older, his hair is even gray, wrinkled and irregular clothes, and the full of stubble shows that this is already an old man.

He sat up from the bed, glanced around blankly, touched his chest and pulled out a picture that was about to rot~www.NovelMTL.com~Although very vague, Tariq still recognized it, above It was Joel posing with his daughter.

At the same time, a single line of white font appeared in the middle of the screen.

"Twenty years later..."

This is the past two decades?

What about Joel's daughter?

Are you dead?

At this time, Tariq recalled the gunshot in front of the plot, and suddenly his heart was tight.

Did the killing sister testify at the beginning? No way!

There was a bad hunch in Tariq's heart, and the whole heart was suspended.

This scenario happened to countless players who are experiencing this last survivor.

In fact, this is a small method in game design, and is based on the results of a week of test feedback.
