Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Open world, this concept was put forward after the birth of "Red Dead Redemption".

Including the two VR masterpieces from NetDragon and Tenghua, as well as some open-world games that are rushing to launch recently, although the reputation is mixed, some are good and some are bad, but most players and the industry have a common understanding. Know.

That is, the open world has great requirements for technology and capital.

There is nothing wrong with Nebula Games as an open world.

Can it be done on switch?

With a head full of doubts, the reporter said goodbye to Chen Xu at the end of the interview. He had absolutely no idea what the open world game would be like on the switch.

Soon, an interview headline of Game Time and Space attracted the attention of many switch players and game designers in the industry.

Exclusive Interview: The evolution of the switch and a new exclusive game! 》

I have to say, this title is very eye-catching.

However, the content is very simple, mainly the content mentioned by Chen Xu in the interview, and even many of them are the original words.

In an instant, many players expressed that they were cracked.

'what's going on! ? I'm not surprised that there are more third-party and mini games on the switch, but Chen Xu really intends to open the world on the switch? ’

‘Isn’t it? Does the Switch's function support the open world? Even the host mode can't handle it, don't give us the entire 480P resolution open world. ’

'Will it be a pixel version of the open world? ’

Soon the players were all discussing it online, but this time, except for some loyal Nebula game fans.

Most expressed disbelief.

Because many players, including the industry's cognition of the open world, are completely stuck on "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption".

Now take a look at the poor function of switch, does it seem like a platform that can be used as an open world!

…………

Although there were various discussions in the outside world, Chen Xu in the Nebula game was not affected.

As for Ruan Ningxue, Meng Zuo, Qin Yi and others, although they communicated with game designers and players outside,

Also suspicious.

But out of their trust in Chen Xu, they knew that since they said this, then Chen Xu must have a plan, but they couldn't figure out how to open the world on the switch.

It can't really be the pixel version of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption".

In the office, Zhang Yida, who is in charge of the market side, reported the latest situation of the switch.

"In terms of third-party independent manufacturers, many of them have the willingness to develop games simultaneously on the switch, and many of them are willing to exclusively use the game on the switch platform."

One of the most important issues on the switch at present is the game library.

Before the switch was launched, basically no third-party game makers were willing to invest.

The main reason, of course, is to not know exactly what a prospect of switch is.

After all, how can the handheld look unreliable?

But now, the global sales of switch have exceeded 4 million, and each game is selling well, and it is still growing.

Compared with traditional PC and VR, such a platform is not big, even small.

But the key point is that the competitiveness is also small, and there are not too many games on the current platform!

Even many third-party game manufacturers, they themselves are desperately trying to port the game to the switch in the fastest time.

Of course, the transplant is still transplanted, and it still has to pass the quality review of Nebula Games.

"We can provide some technical and financial support." Listening to Zhang Yida's words, Chen Xu nodded.

Then I confirmed the relevant content of the switch with him.

Including small games added to the member's game library, this piece of Nebula Games has acquired a lot of game studios both overseas and in China, and you can hand it over to them.

And in the future, some new exclusive games can be developed for the switch.

But this is also the plan for the next year. At least in the second half of the year, for Chen Xu, the main energy is to focus on the next exclusive game on the switch.

And this game, of course, is "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

I didn't choose this game before, but let "Super Mario: Odyssey" as the first escort.

There are also some reasons.

The first is naturally that the development time is not enough, because it is much larger in terms of volume.

The second point is that the development of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" requires a lot of resources, such as the adaptation of the physics engine in Zelda and the adaptation of the switch development platform.

In the past life, if you talk about open world games, you must choose a leader.

In 2017, maybe everyone will vote for Alexandre Dumas' "The Three Musketeers".

Because it's so good, it's a pyramid of open-world games.

But after 17 years, everything has changed.

Although "The Three Musketeers" is still high, it is still the pyramid of open world games.

But originally it was the only one at the top of the steeple.

There is another existence, a warrior with a green hat and a sword and shield, and it is "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

Redefines the design of open world games.

This is the evaluation of the game industry to "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

After this game appeared, many players called this world there are three open world games.

Zelda, the Three Musketeers and other open worlds.

As an IP game with a history of more than 30 years, The Legend of Zelda has created countless brilliance.

From the 2D era, it defines what a qualified ARPG should do. He is the first game with the function of saving progress and loading archives.

In the 3D era, Ocarina of Time is known as one of the greatest games of all time, because his related settings have influenced countless subsequent games, such as operation, UI interface, and gameplay.

In the back of the Wind Waker, Majora's Mask, Shrinking Hat, Princess Twilight, Sword of the Sky, etc., almost every work has a very unique place.

The more dreamlike fairytale-like Wind Waker and Shrinking Hat; the more grotesque and dark Majora's mask; and the first Twilight Princess with the most beautiful Zelda biased towards realistic art; and the somatosensory gameplay with the wii platform Sword of the sky.

But each has its own characteristics, but it has never been able to reach a height of Ocarina of Time.

At the time when everyone thought Ocarina of Time was the peak of the series.

Breath of the Wild came into being, and it was born just like the compliments that came before it.

Redefines open world games.

‘Zelda is number one in the world! ’

For fans of this game, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com They rudely shouted this slogan.

Whether it is the quality of this game, or the impact of the entire series, it is well deserved.

Even the emergence of Breath of the Wild has made some players jokingly say that buying games and giving them a switch is simply too cost-effective.

That's one of the charms of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

For Chen Xu, the next step is to create a representative masterpiece for the switch.

A cookout is obviously a unique option.

Another point is that the game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is compared to the storyline of the Legend of Zelda series.

One of its timelines is listed separately.

Does not belong to any one of the origin line, defeat line, and victory line in the series.

This is also very beneficial for the development of a game.
