Chapter 431 Prove Your Worth (1st Update)
After the half-hour demo session ended, Fang Cheng gave all his colleagues time to think about what this game can do.
During the meeting, he was quite satisfied with the performance of Huang Ping and others.
As he played more and more games, Fang Cheng felt that his understanding of the game was getting deeper and deeper.
As early as in primitive society, human children have been playing different games. They play the roles of hounds, prey and hunters. Through this division of labor, they simulate hunting behavior and learn hunting skills in the process, so that they can be used in formal hunting. Improve survival rate and success rate during hunting.
In this process, the learning efficiency brought about by fear is undoubtedly the highest.
Thousands of teachings from elders are not as good as the wounds caused by one mistake by a companion. This process will allow these new children to truly understand what can and cannot be done.
And if fear can be overcome, people's minds will be greatly improved and people will achieve great growth.
This kind of growth is gratifying and enjoyable, and every growth can make people reach a higher level, and this is also the emotion that Fangcheng hopes players can feel.
Facing fear and then defeating it is the emotion Fang Cheng wants players to feel in this game.
Although he already had his own ideas, Fang Cheng knew that he had too many enemies, including a bunch of them in his studio.
Therefore, knowing their ideas in advance, and then absorbing and integrating them during the game making process to make them more perfect is Fang Cheng's intention to make everyone think about this issue.
While drinking tea, Fang Cheng looked at his colleagues who were thinking in front of him and showed a satisfied smile.
Unlike Fang Cheng's comfort, Huang Ping has not yet come to his senses at this time.
In the demo that Fang Cheng showed, the images of the monsters were too terrifying. The scariest nightmare he had ever had might not be even one percent as scary as those monsters.
He had never seen the evil ghosts in hell, but after seeing those evil ghosts, he believed that the real hell might be like that.
God knows where the boss found the painter who could actually depict a real hell scene.
Half an hour later, Huang Ping, who felt better, turned on the computer and started searching for information.
However, he didn't watch any horror movies or games. Instead, he opened Station B, jumped to the animal enclosure, and then opened Meow and started watching.
The cute cat finally relieved his nervousness. Looking at the others, they also began to watch stress-relieving movies, proving that he was not the only one who was scared.
But Lin Nan, who was opposite, kept typing. It seemed that the previous demo did not have a great impact on her. Instead, it inspired her to write a plan.
"Lin Nan, aren't you afraid?" Huang Ping asked doubtfully.
"It's okay." Lin Nan said softly, "I was scared at first, after all, the monster inside is really scary. But after watching it for a long time, I feel used to it."
"...Talent."
He asked Lin Nan to take screenshots of the game and send them to him. Huang Ping looked at the pictures for a while and then went back to watch Maomao. He didn't continue watching the demo until he was almost done.
Through this kind of desensitization therapy, he slowly adapted to the graphics in the game, and then began to think about what type of game this demo could be developed into.
A niche game can be made into a horror puzzle game. Players struggle to survive in a world full of monsters and find ways to escape from here bit by bit.
It would also be a good idea to create a horror shooting game from a first-person perspective. It would also be a good idea to give players a gun and allow them to roam freely in a world full of monsters and monsters.
However, I always feel that doing so seems to be a bit too wasteful of this scene.
Good graphics are an indispensable part of the game, but if the gameplay or other settings of the game cannot keep up with the graphics of the game, then it is better to lower the graphics of the game and force the graphics and gameplay to match.
After all, games are the industry that best fits the barrel theory. Art, plot, gameplay, feel, and music and sound effects all work together. If there is a shortcoming, it will require several times of improvement in other parts to recover.
Trade-offs are part of making games.
However, Huang Ping does not want to let himself become a shortcoming in this game. After all, in his opinion, this game has the potential to become a benchmark for horror games and cannot be wasted in his own hands.
So, what is the most suitable game theme?
"The boss really gave us a difficult problem." Huang Ping said with a wry smile.
"Yes." Monkey held the pen in his mouth and said, "How about making a meat pigeon game? I've been wanting to play meat pigeons lately, and this genre is also the current trend, so it's a good direction."
"The boss never cares about trends." Xiaodouzi said with a pious look, "The boss is the trend."
"That's right. How about making a more special game that's a little weirder?"
Xu Qingling, who was at her workstation, raised her head and said expectantly: "Love development?"
The monkey almost swallowed the pen.
Huang Ping also looked embarrassed, looked at Xu Qingling and said, "Well, who would fall in love with these unknown monsters?"
"If you're looking for excitement, maybe someone will like it."
"Hamama Yujiro doesn't even have this ability!"
After looking at the monster pictures on the screen, Huang Ping felt that if there really was such a person, he must be someone who could leave his name in the history of human XP.
A group of people began to get together to discuss, sparks began to collide with each other, and finally concluded several different options.
Regarding the different options, everyone began to further discuss, constantly sorting out the features of each plan, and finally selected a plan that everyone recognized.
Horror survival.
The player will be born as a clueless person in this strange world and embark on his own journey of survival in this terrifying and strange world.
This world has its own terrifying ecosystem, and the types of creatures are unpredictable, but they are definitely not the type that players want.
Players can slowly manage their own territory in this terrifying world, communicate with other players to a certain extent, and take in some homeless people who have lost their territory. However, it should be noted that some terrifying monsters are hidden among these homeless people and are ready to devour this place at any time.
This is the plan discussed by Huang Ping and others, and it is also the gameplay that they think is most suitable for this game style.
There are many types of horror. The helpless horror of "Escape" is one type, and the "Resident Evil" series is also one type.
But the former is too weak, causing the player's first reaction when seeing the monster not to fight, but to run away.
The latter is unparalleled, which reduces the horror atmosphere of the game a bit.
The kind of game that hangs on a thread and makes players always feel that they can do something to improve it, but always makes people nervous, is the most suitable gameplay for this picture.
Seeing the plan provided by Huang Ping and others, Fang Cheng closed his eyes and thought for a while.
A weak mortal came to the land of reincarnation. The monsters around him could tear him to pieces at any time. Various bizarre events occurred one after another, leaving him in a constant state of fear.
But every time he survives, he can gain some knowledge, allowing him to grow and begin to face the next challenge.
This feeling...
You may have.
As a mortal, you challenge the terrifying ecology here, and then slowly find a way to survive. The gameplay of this game is really good.
So, he said happily: "Okay, let's proceed in this direction. After the project is completed, how about inviting everyone to go on a trip together?"
Huang Ping's expression immediately became extremely exciting.
"Boss, if you don't want to finish the game, please just say so."
"Um?"
Watching the unhappy Huang Ping leave, Fang Cheng opened the webpage and found that this is what a good boss mentioned on Bhu looks like.
"That's not possible anymore. How about letting Three Squirrels make a similar website?"
This time, Fang Cheng gave his colleagues great autonomy.
His Taoist heart has been filled several times. Although it has not yet been perfected, some practices can be done without being so rigid.
Moreover, Huang Ping and others are growing up well now. They can already help with some things, and they can better check and fill in the gaps to prevent players from causing trouble again.
However, even so, he was still not very relieved.
Players are born to be rebellious, and no matter how docile a player is, they cannot restrain their urge to commit suicide in the game.
So, you have to dig a hole.
He needs to dig some plausible pits in this game, so that every time players find these pits, they will think they have discovered an easter egg, and then continue to play according to their desired gameplay.
In this way, this is a duel between him and the players to see whether he has more comprehensive coverage or whether the players have better imagination.
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng felt that the process had become interesting.
While Huang Ping and others continue to improve the game, Fang Cheng is also constantly making various arrangements, striving to hide his ideas more secretly, so that players can discover these hidden contents in more detail.
When the game's development content reached 80%, Huang Ping filed an application, saying that the game's sound effects and music should be added.
For horror games, music and sound effects can be said to be the second life of the game.
Excellent music can make an otherwise ordinary scene look extremely scary, and when paired with the current graphics of the game, it becomes even more powerful.
Fang Cheng feels that this problem is relatively easy to solve. After all, the gods in the Tiandao online world don't know how to make music, so making music is relatively simple.
"Tian Xuan, please go talk to the music people and ask them to make some music."
Tian Xuan nodded vigorously, and then left here with an expression full of mission to make music.
Watching Tian Xuan leave, Xu Qingling came close to Fang Cheng and whispered: "Boss, Tian Xuan can't speak. Isn't it a bit bad to let her do the music? Otherwise, can I go?"
"It's okay, she can do it." Fang Cheng said calmly.
After all, she was a believer in the Lord God there, so she could still accomplish this task.
But what surprised Fang Cheng was that what he thought was a simple task actually almost failed to be completed.
After learning that Fang Cheng's request was to make music, the gods of Tiandao Network were very happy.
The Great God has finally used us again!
Within the Tiandao Network, Fangcheng has become a new belief.
In the new myths and legends, the Great God is a powerful alien god who can extinguish large areas of stars with just one look, and shut up black holes with a snap of his fingers.
He can even recite pi, and recite it backwards!
This powerful foreign god conquered all the local gods, and these gods could only work continuously under her whip, selling their own divine power in exchange for a smile from the Great God.
Although it sounded a bit outrageous, when he found that the basic content was still true, Fang Cheng ignored the statement and let them continue talking.
After all, it doesn't matter to him whether Xiang Huo believes in these things. It doesn't matter if he believes in it or not, whatever he wants.
To the gods, Fang Cheng is like an extremely strong thigh. A hug every day can prolong your life, and you may be able to rely on it anytime.
Therefore, they were eagerly looking forward to the oracles brought by Tian Xuan. After learning that the demand this time was to make music, they immediately had countless ideas, and then they went crazy after playing the game demo brought by Tian Xuan. .
"What is this! Why is there such a scary place!"
"The boundary between life and death no longer exists here, and dead things are reborn in indescribable ways. The lifeless pieces of flesh are actually reorganizing themselves. This place is not the place that should exist at all!"
"Where is the world after death? Is this ours? If it is true, I would rather be swallowed by chaos!"
For the gods here, the polluted land of reincarnation is really terrible.
They are all powerful beings, but because of this, they are more likely than mortals to feel the horror here and the truth behind the Land of Reincarnation.
The former main god, the God of Balance, looked at the game screen in front of him, his facial expression twitching all the time.
He thinks that he is already strong enough and has already seen many things.
Moreover, the contact with the Iron Guards made him know a lot of knowledge that he had never been exposed to before, and he was confident that he was strong enough.
However, after seeing the screen of this game, he still felt that he was not strong enough.
Even through the screen, he could feel an evil coming towards his face, almost suffocating him.
Unable to bear it, he turned away and found that Tian Xuan was looking at the gods next to her with confusion, but she didn't seem to be affected.
Looking closely, the God of Balance discovered that Tian Xuan's body was wrapped with a layer of golden light.
The golden light was dazzling, more brilliant and more sacred than the last time I saw it.
"Is it because of the Great Heavenly Lord?"
When you are with a strong person, even if you don't deliberately learn, you will be protected by the other person unconsciously and become a more sublime being.
Perhaps Tian Xuan herself didn't realize that the long-term relationship has further solidified her essence and become a deeper and unpredictable existence.
"Praise the Great God."
After praying silently, the God of Balance forced himself to stare at the screen without missing a single detail.
He must prove his worth.
