Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

The development of "Silent Hill PT" is progressing smoothly, although it is the first time to develop on the VR platform.

But after all, "Silent Hill PT" itself is not a complete game, just a DEMO, and the volume is not large.

The game content is basically decryption, and does not involve the combat system.

Even the original demo doesn't involve any action system, at most it's just some interactive actions such as opening the door and picking up things.

To this end, Chen Xu also added some detailed actions that can make the experience more immersive in the VR section.

Of course, jumping and running, as well as climbing, are still not included.

Because it will have a certain impact on the content of the DEMO.

In addition to these, the game itself is also the first person, which makes Chen Xu not have to worry about the performance of VR vision.

However, compared with most first-person perspectives on the PC platform, the default 90-degree viewing angle is used, and the transfer to the VR platform requires a wider field of view.

In addition, it is also the first perspective, but in VR immersion mode, its performance is also different from PC games.

The first view of many PC games will make the player feel like the eyes are growing on the chest, because the different actions are completely different between the third person and the first person.

The action in the first person is very normal, but in the third person it is shocking.

The reverse is also true.

Therefore, some games allow players to switch between the first person and the third person. In order not to make the characters' actions become strange, two sets of action modules are often prepared, one for the first person and one for the third person.

But this brings increased costs.

On the VR platform, the limited field of view design is easy to solve.

"Well... the scene where Lisa just appeared is too bright, so that players can see her silhouette without looking down on her face."

"It just needs to have a feeling of holding the pipa half-covered, with a sense of mystery, so that when the player looks back and realizes that Lisa is rushing, they can feel the thump, just like a deer breaking into the heart and being rammed. that feeling.”

In the project room, Chen Xu instructed Ruan Ningxue to modify some scene light sources and colors.

Hearing what Chen Xu said,

Ruan Ningxue wanted to stop talking.

This is not a deer bumping, this is a crazy elephant breaking into the new house!

Qin Yi and others next to him also lowered their heads silently.

During this time, the development of the promotional trailer for the prequel to Dark Souls was also very smooth, and the time for the exhibition was shortened.

The company has already begun to stop at the exhibition, and the progress of the trailer for the prequel to Black Soul is almost complete.

At present, Qin Yi and the others have already started the construction of the scene, and they have also learned about the so-called VRdemo on Chen Xu's side.

Then the more I understand, the more careful everyone can't bear it.

Because "Silent Hill PT" is a DEMO prepared for the new VR test, the development VR prototype sent by the game department itself belongs to a blocked state and cannot actually experience the game.

Of course, if Qin Yi and the others are telling the truth, no one wants to experience a wave, because just looking at it has already made their hearts tremble.

The more critical point is that this DEMO is actually only about 30 minutes in length.

The decryption is even more terrifying, and it even used the game flashback mechanism of the previous "Under the Legend".

The clues to unlocking the level are buried in the photo fragments that can be collected in the game, as well as in the error text prompts that appear when crashing.

If there is no way to understand the content of this information, then the experience can only be in this weird room corridor, falling into an endless cycle of reincarnation.

With the label of horror, Qin Yi and the others, who felt that the prequel of the Black Soul was full of maliciousness, suddenly had a feeling at this moment, that is, the prequel of the Black Soul, this is sunshine!

………………

Soon the day passed, the exhibition was approaching, and the company had already started planning for this exhibition.

Of course, it is planning, but to put it bluntly, there is nothing to plan.

It's the same as last year, except that two unique themed areas will be added.

The two theme songs of "Going for Two" and "Dark Souls" are different from last year's choice of the last day of the finale to release the promotional trailer.

This year, there is no need to sell off. After all, it is just a promotional video.

Directly on the first day, bring it to all players and it will be done.

After the release, players can do whatever they want, because the only burst point has been burst.

When the company was preparing, Chen Xu also took the finished product of "Silent Hill PT" and went to the game department to hand over the work.

"It's only been 20 days, and you've already done it!?"

The game department was surprised when they heard Chen Xu's report, Yang Chen, the minister.

"It's mainly because the demo content of "Silent Hill PT" is not very large." Chen Xu smiled and handed some relevant information to Yang Chen.

Picking up the information on Chen Xu's side, Yang Chen glanced at it.

As the head of the game department, Yang Chen didn't know everything. After reading the relevant bills in the subsidy application materials here, as well as the content of the project, Yang Chen understood.

Because there are too few project categories given by Chen Xu, the entire DEMO basically revolves around one scene.

"Chen Xu, although the subsidy here is based on the amount of content, the purpose of this time is to better test the immersive feedback of the new version of VR. The funds should not be spent indiscriminately here, but don't save money for the game department. "Yang Chen shook his head with a wry smile. He had a guess in his heart, that is, Chen Xu was young and couldn't help himself, so he could save money if he could.

"Minister, don't worry! This game looks very simple, but it is quite special, and it will definitely play a good role in testing." Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Okay, you just have to be confident. If the follow-up effect is not good, you can go back to work and revise it. Remember not to save money for us at that time."

"I asked Xiao Zhang to accompany you to the park. It happens that many designers are also learning about the relevant parameters in the park. At that time, your DEMO can also be used as a display, and you designers can communicate with each other well. The experience of developing on the new version of the VR device is not only the experiencer for the new version of the VR device, but the experience of you developers is also very important." Yang Chen said to Chen Xu.

………………

After coming out of the game department building, Chen Xu drove and followed Xiao Zhang to the research park.

Many designers are listening to the explanation of various parameters of VR equipment from the research park.

Among them are some new faces, apparently senior designers who came to the game department to check in later.

There are also ones I have seen before, such as the warm and enthusiastic teacher Meng.

"Mr. Chen, your DEMO development is complete!?"

Hearing Chen Xu explaining his purpose this time, Meng Zuo was stunned just like Yang Chen before.

During this time, he also had some exchanges with Chen Xu.

However, he is also designing here, so for Chen Xu's DEMO, apart from knowing that it is a horror theme, he doesn't know anything about it.

The main reason I came here today is to better understand the relevant parameters of the VR equipment, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the content.

As a result, now Chen Xu has also appeared, and told him that the demo over there has been completed?

"The main reason is that the game is relatively special and the size is not very large." Chen Xu nodded with a smile.

The staff at the research park over there were also surprised, obviously they didn't expect to have the material for testing so soon.

While Chen Xu was chatting here, the staff over there also informed them that the preparations for the test had been completed.

"Unfortunately, apart from the testers who have passed the physical examination and review, we designers can't experience it. Otherwise, I really want to experience your game, Mr. Chen." Meng Zuo said with some regrets.

Some designers who knew or didn't know Chen Xu were also chatting, obviously looking forward to the demo that Chen Xu was about to test.

After all, this is also the first officially playable demo on the new version of the VR device. In addition, Chen Xu's works in the past two years are very distinctive. They feel that this work called "Silent Hill PT" may give them a bigger deal. inspiration.

The only regret is that they can't experience it for themselves, otherwise they can better feel the intention of being a game designer.

"Well... I think Teacher Meng, you should change your mind later." Chen Xu laughed.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, the surrounding designers did not speak, but just smiled.

After all, we are all peers, and we still have to give each other some face.

Horror theme? How big of a deal is that?

As game designers, what storms have they never seen?

Horror game only! It's not like they haven't played Chen Xu's "Escape" before.

And with the same mentality, there are testers over there who are preparing to experience it.

Only one device was prepared, but there were three testers on duty today.

Three people use the method of guessing to decide who can get on.

"According to you, I'll be the first to get the best of the experience." A young man with a head of 1.85 inches smiled while looking at the two regrets next to him. His name was written on the work card on his chest: Li Yue.

The two colleagues next to them are named Tao Fa and Ye Xun respectively. They both look strong in terms of stature. It is also because the work of the test experience is special and carefully screened.

"Unfortunately, I have always liked Chen Xu's games very much. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Tao Fa said regretfully.

"Yes, but don't be scared to pee later." Ye Xun said.

"Haha, I haven't experienced the various materials of the new VR equipment before? All kinds of bloody and terrifying pictures have also been tested. Would I be afraid?" Li Yue laughed.

While the three of them were chatting, Chen Xu and the others came to a room with a large LCD screen in front of them, according to the introduction of the staff next to them.

At that time, the game screen of the experiencer will be played here.

Soon, under the inspection of the staff, Li Yue also entered the game warehouse with anticipation after confirming that there was no problem.

As a young man, Li Yue naturally prefers to play games, and is no stranger to Chen Xu.

Now he has the opportunity to experience the first game DEMO of the new era VR device made by the other party, which still makes him very excited and even excited.

With this excitement and anticipation, he officially launched the test DEMO called "Silent Hill PT" in the game warehouse.
