Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

"The camera of this game is actually split screen, so retro!" Zhang Yi said with some emotion.

The split screen setting is a very retro setting.

In today's Internet age, games involving multiplayer online basically do not need to be operated on a single machine.

But in the era of underdeveloped networks, it is clear that the network conditions at the time did not support such operations.

In this case, some games involving two-player online will use the local split-screen mode.

That is, the screen of the monitor is divided into two parts, one of which is the perspective of the 1P player, and the other is the perspective of the 2P player.

Therefore, Zhang Yi felt a little surprised when he discovered that "A Row for Two" turned out to be a split screen.

"I think it's okay, I just happen to be able to see your picture, I guess there will be some level design needs later?" Wang Han didn't think so much.

The two moved forward while chatting.

The first puzzle was soon encountered.

After pulling down the switch, the elevator did not fall, but the three fuses inside grew out of legs and ran straight away.

Two of them stayed where they were and didn't run very far, but the other naughty fuse just escaped.

"This fuse has long legs!?" Zhang Yi was surprised when he saw the plot in the game.

"So why are you surprised? Haven't you read fairy tales when you were a child? Are you anthropomorphic, what if a book can live a fuse and grow legs? We're still made of clay and wood!" Wang Han complained next to him.

This episode of chasing the fuse is basically an explanation of a basic operation in the game.

The basic operations in the game are basic operations in the game, such as turning on the switch in the air, anti-wall jump, double jump, double jump sprint, climbing and running.

However, this whole novice teaching process gave Zhang Yi and Wang Han a very unique experience, and at this time they also felt some of the advantages of the dual-screen mode.

That is to be able to see the content of the other party's screen in real time, and to be able to see the other party's operations.

And if the other party's operation method is wrong, you can tell the other party immediately, and then teach the other party how to live here.

If it is not a dual-screen mode, then everyone must be in the same place,

Otherwise, it is difficult to know how the other party is stuck without seeing the picture.

Moreover, the range of maps that can be active in "Two to Go" itself is not small, this dual-screen mode is completely just right!

There is basically no difficulty in decrypting some of the previous levels. Wang Han and Zhang Yi were both laughing and playing, and they quickly found the lost fuse and put it back.

Through the lift, the two were bounced onto the table, and the daughter in front of them was writing a letter.

And just when Cody and Xiaomei were excited to run to talk to their daughter and ask how to remove the doll state.

Dr. Harkin appeared and opened a locker door.

Inside was a broken vacuum cleaner.

In the face of Cody and Xiaomei, the vacuum cleaner showed great hostility.

Because the vacuum cleaner is used by Cody to suck up all kinds of messes like nuclear, plastic bottles, etc. that are broken.

Xiaomei said that she would fix the vacuum cleaner, but she just left the vacuum cleaner in the corner of the house and didn't care.

"Last time, the keyboard seems to have been thrown in by your cola and then failed!?" Wang Han, who saw the plot of this scene, glanced at Zhang Yi next to him.

"Accident...Accidental, don't talk about watching the plot, a new level has begun! This is not the teaching level just now!" Zhang Yi coughed twice, looking at the game screen and began to change the topic.

What about life, who hasn't accidentally broken something? Besides, he still repaired it very seriously. He threw it into the water for the first time, and then exposed it to the sun for two days. Unfortunately, the keyboard still failed to survive.

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Wang Han pouted, but still focused on the game.

In any case, this beginning has already aroused her curiosity.

In the course of the game, Cody and Xiaomei are not the three lines in "Dark Souls", "Hey! Uh! what! ' ashes.

During the game, according to some actions of the other party, Xiaomei and Cody will exchange some lines with each other.

Through these lines, we can feel the relationship between Xiaomei and Cody.

Both feel that they are right and the other is wrong.

From the perspective of the plot, it is obvious that "Two People" is an old-fashioned family ethics drama.

Although this has just passed the novice teaching, but through the game's promotional video, there is still the content displayed so far.

Not only Wang Han who is playing, but also the players who are experiencing this game, most of them have already guessed the following plot in their hearts.

It's just May and Cody with the help of Dr. Harkin, the book of love.

Through mutual tacit cooperation, they learned about each other's love again, and finally the family was reunited together.

It can be said that this is a very old-fashioned plot.

And judging from the performance of the more dreamy cartoon animation art style, many players also feel that such a plot should not usher in any turning point.

But even so, what players are curious about is not the ending, but the process in the middle.

What kind of hardships will Cody and Xiaomei go through, what kind of hurdles will they encounter, and then work together to get through it together and finally get to know each other?

After being knocked out by the vacuum cleaner, the real game begins.

Compared with the levels taught by novices, the level decryption in the game has become relatively more complicated.

In this section of the journey, there is no way for the player to pass alone.

Players must interact with each other on the map to help the other player go somewhere, so that both can pass smoothly.

For example, a blower duct, the player is drilled into from one end and sprayed out from the other.

But if you go in directly, you will never be able to reach the target. You must have another player to lift the pipe.

And the player who goes to the other end also needs to press the corresponding switch, so that both of them can pass a small level.

At the same time, it is not only cooperation, but some levels also require some tacit understanding between players.

For example, in a level with a ventilation duct, the player needs to pass through three fans, and this fan is an arrangement of hot air, cold air and hot air, and one player jumps the other to switch between hot air and cold air.

In the cold air state, the player can be blown up by the cold air and continue to take off.

But if the hot air is used, it will be directly burned to ashes.

Pull the button down and the fan's temperature will toggle.

So in this level, the test is the tacit cooperation of the players.

When the player takes off, another player needs to switch the temperature of the fan immediately.

Cooperation and tacit understanding can be said to be the most vivid expression here.

And the advantage of the dual-screen mode is here, not only Cody and Xiaomei in the game need to cooperate, but the two players behind the monitor also need to work together.
