Create horror games that scare players around the world

Chapter 2 Devil's Roulette

But it is difficult to say it, because the company's reputation and fame are so bad.

He didn't have the money to update the game, not even enough to rent a server, so the game couldn't be played at all.

Moreover, with the current popularity, once you come to the fore, you will be buried by the anger of the players, and you will be criticized even if you come out to apologize.

Now even the company’s V-blog account has been taken over, and it’s filled with curses.

What a sin.
Therefore, given the current popularity, if you want to return to the public eye, you must come up with good news or a good game that can calm the players and divert their attention.

Therefore, the game "Devil's Roulette" included in the new member gift package is his first step to restore his reputation.

By releasing new games, we tell players that we are not running away and will continue to improve the games.

This will give the majority of players a shot of reassurance and help them calm down a little.

But it's not easy to completely calm down. Players can't forget the fact that "Eve of Disaster" is garbage just because you release a new game.

Therefore, we have to prove our sincerity and make players believe that we will not run away and will update the game for a long time.

And the method to do so.
Just release Devil's Roulette for free!
Ding Yi believes that this small game of less than 300MB will definitely conquer the players in the Blue Star world.

Because its gameplay is so exciting and interesting, it is the roulette wheel that people want to play but dare not try, and it only exists in movies.

Therefore, once it was released on Earth World, it became an instant hit on the entire Internet.

"Devil's Roulette" has rough graphics, monotonous colors, and poor modeling. It is a small-scale game.

Players will fight a life-and-death battle with a demon at the gambling table.

The specific form is to load a shotgun with live bullets and dud bullets.

Then you shoot and I shoot, and we see who gets shot and killed.

The player can choose to shoot the demon, or shoot themselves.

If you are lucky and the shot turns out to be a dud, you can survive and have a chance to fire again.

But if you are unlucky and encounter live ammunition, then...
With a bang, he was shot and died.

Does this sound like that scene in the movies where you put three bullets in a revolver and shoot yourself in the head, betting on whether you'll survive or die from a headshot?
In order to increase the fun of the game, various props are introduced.

This turns a game of luck into a game of strategy.

There are bullets in the gun and props on the table. What can you do to defeat the devil on the opposite side?
Also, because your opponent is not human.

So if you die during the process but the game is not over yet, the devil will use a power that you cannot understand to save you through a defibrillator and continue the game.

Ding Yi believes that this small, simple and fun game will definitely conquer players.

This is more enjoyable than those big-budget games.

"But the game is in English, so I have to translate it into Chinese in the development engine first."

"Then we will redraw the model into 8K textures to make the game a masterpiece in terms of image quality, at least to the level of the '7 Points' DLC in Resident Evil 21."

Ding Yi rubbed his jaw and decided to do it!

So he picked up the mouse and prepared to start work.

[The development engine and optimization system have been copied to the frequently used computer. If there is no operation for 30 minutes, it will be automatically uninstalled and the project files will be saved in real time. ]

Hearing this, Ding Yi was a little surprised, but also very satisfied.

"Okay, okay, this way there won't be any accidents that cause file loss, and it can also ensure the rigor of the development engine and optimization system." "Let's improve the game's graphics first."

As he spoke, he opened the development engine and selected the game file package of "Devil's Roulette".

I ran [8K Texture Redraw] first to get the engine working.

This process took a full 10 minutes to complete.

Soon, after seeing the pop-up window on the engine saying "Material redrawing completed, do you want to check?", he immediately clicked confirm and entered the game with curiosity and excitement.

Then he was startled.

The game took less than 3 seconds to enter.

But the scenes inside are very different from the original game.

Especially the bathroom at the beginning, the original game can be said to be rough at first glance, with strange colors, and it feels like it wants to create a weird atmosphere but lacks the technical ability.

But after the picture quality was redrawn, when you look at the bathroom in front of you with the naked eye, people who don’t play games may not know that it is a game. It is not an exaggeration to say that the quality is 3A!

Ding Yi tried playing the game himself, and he had to say that the game was very comfortable to play at 8K quality.

The demon model is also more hideous and terrifying.

The props, guns, gambling tables, etc. are full of surprises, even the dust and rust on them are very real.

If a game like this with high-definition graphics and highly entertaining gameplay is released, won’t the players on Blue Star be thrilled?
but
What about the fear value? He needs it to buy new games
Ding Yi thought for a moment and entered the development engine again to modify the game.

"I always felt that the original game lacked tension due to technical issues, and the AI ​​was also weak. After a game, I felt like I was bullying the weak, just like playing cards in a nightclub."

"This kind of game doesn't allow players to generate fear."

"In the setting, even God died at the gambling table, which means that the game should have a tense and terrifying atmosphere, so as to highlight the life-and-death struggle between humans and demons."

"So the game has to be like 21, making players feel depressed and gloomy to stimulate their nervous emotions. Every move must be done with all their strength to survive, restore the proper sense of horror, and get the fear value."

Ding Yi kept his word and started to work on Chinese translation and modification on the spot.

Time passed little by little, and it took three hours.

With the help of the system, all technical problems are easily solved.

Want a scary atmosphere with light and shadow? Just adjust it.

The demon's AI is too weak? He directly inputs Chinese characters to improve the AI ​​as much as possible.

I ran [Perfect Numerical Adaptation] again to solve the probability problem and completely eliminate the idiotic behavior in the original game where the demon shot himself even though he knew it was a live bullet.

At the same time, in order to highlight the mystery and horror of the devil, he also deliberately added a few lines.

Just like that, the time came to 5 a.m., and the 3A-quality version of "Devil's Roulette" was officially completed!
“I hope this game can reverse the company’s reputation and lay a good foundation for the next game.”

As he spoke, Ding Yi uploaded the game to the cyber platform, set the price to free, and waited for review.

About half an hour later, the review was passed and the download page opened.

Then, he logged onto the Vblog Enterprise account, ignored the 999+ unread messages, and directly sent a notification.

The title is: [The blue planet does not explode, and the star movement does not take a holiday. The universe does not restart, and we do not carry buckets. Dear players, we are not running away. ]

　The pace of the first 20 chapters of this book is very fast, and many plots will be glossed over. They will be described in detail after the game is remade.
