Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

After scratching his head, Song Ren could be said to be confused now.

Long before playing, he had actually arranged the gameplay and routines for himself.

That is to find a good shield, and then play with it little by little, so as to minimize the malice in the early stage of the game.

After I have finished the first week of play, I will switch to other ways of playing when I start the second play.

After all, Song Ren couldn't be said to be very proficient in the previous Black Soul, but he had at least invested hundreds or thousands of hours in it, so he still had some insights.

If you can defeat monsters in the early stage, you don't have to rush to upgrade. This way, you can avoid many detours and let the genre you want to play better take shape.

But why is there no shield now?

Looking at the hunting ax and shotgun in his hand, Song Ren felt strange for a while.

For example, settings such as visceral critical strikes, gun counterattacks, etc., he basically understood through the advice system on the ground.

But to be honest, he still wants to have a reliable shield. After all, only Black Soul players can understand how happy it is to have a big shield.

"However, Mr. Chen said that there is a shield, so there must be a shield in the news. I just don't know at what point in the game you can get the shield."

Song Ren struggled for a while but didn't think too much about this matter.

After all, he still has a competitive relationship with Lao Zhang.

Although his side was five minutes ahead, he didn't know what the situation was like on Lao Zhang's side.

And judging from the various system introductions of the game, he feels that the difficulty of "Bloodborne" should not be very high.

After all, let’s not talk about the blood grabbing mechanism. The most important thing is that players can bring up to 20 blood bottles in the game.

For example, when he came out of Yousefka Clinic, in addition to the two blood bottles he used to tear the villagers apart, he now had four blood bottles on him.

Moreover, you can also purchase blood bottles from the merchants at the hot springs. You only need to pay some blood echoes.

Save enough 20 blood bottles to fight the boss. What boss can't you beat?

So Song Ren felt that he had to race against time. Treating guests to dinner was a small matter, but losing to Lao Zhang was a big deal!

Of course, before exploring the unknown road to find the boss, Song Ren still has one thing to do.

Teleporting back through the lantern, Song Ren returned to Yousefka's clinic. Facing the werewolf with one third of his health, Song Ren directly switched the hunting ax to its long-handled form and charged up to attack a large windmill.

The ax blade struck the werewolf's body hard, bringing up a bunch of blood.

At the same time, Song Ren was pleasantly surprised to find that the big windmill not only did high damage, it directly emptied one-third of the werewolf's blood, and even had a knockback effect.

The werewolf who was hit in front of him flew several meters away, and then a white ball of light appeared on his body.

"Damn it, isn't this hunting ax invincible!?" Song Ren was shocked.

He never expected that this hunting ax could have a knockback effect.

Then when fighting some mobs that can be knocked back, such as the werewolf in front of you, wouldn't it be possible to use the kite-flying method?

Picking up the white light from the werewolf's body, he was lucky enough to get a blood bottle, and then continued along the previous road. On the way, he took away the Yanan villagers holding torches and hunting axes, and Song Ren was still a big windmill.

And this also confirmed his suspicion, that is, the long handle mode of the hunting ax did have a knock-up effect.

Although the energy bar can only be rotated twice, the damage is really ridiculously high.

As for the shotgun weapon, Song Ren feels that it is quite useless.

I tried firing the gun, but it was of no use at all. Instead, I was cut twice in vain, and the bullet attack was very scratchy.

He didn't know if the damage would increase if he strengthened it or got a better gun, but so far he really didn't want to use it.

"Anyway, this gun is just an excessive weapon. It's time for you to retire when I get the shield." Song Ren sighed, put the gun away, and chose to dual-wield the long-handled hunting axe.

Following the ladder again to the lantern in the middle of Yanan, Song Ren found that there was a lighted room in front of the lantern where he could communicate.

‘Oh, you must be a hunter, and you’re not from around here. ’

‘My name is Gilbert, and I am a foreigner like you. You must be very happy, right? ’

‘The people of Yanam… treat their guests in a very special way. ’

From this Gilbert's mouth, Song Ren still got a lot of useful information.

For example, Dark Blood, which seems to be closely related to the main plot, may have some information in an organization called the Healing Church.

However, if you want to go to the Healing Church, you need to go through the canyon to the cathedral area east of Yharnan.

This can be regarded as a map guide for players, because the maps of Souls games are a major feature of the games.

There is no such thing as a small map or a big map, it all depends on the players themselves.

Coupled with the high difficulty, basically skilled Souls series players know the map by heart, and there are player corpses in every corner of the map.

But what makes Song Ren more regretful is that he is now one of the first players to enter the game, and he has not exited the game midway, so he has not seen the dead souls or advice left by other players on the ground.

"The Yanan people are very special to outsiders? Haha? How special can it be? The people are as honest and hospitable as the Immortal Street?" Song Ren chuckled and didn't take it to heart.

After a simple conversation, Song Ren was ready to continue exploring.

I tried to push the door next to it, but it was locked just like before on the first floor. Obviously this is a shortcut and will be unlocked from a certain point on the map behind during the subsequent exploration.

Ignoring the road that was still unreachable, Song Ren moved forward with the weapon in long-handled mode.

He doesn't know yet whether this form is useful for fighting bosses.

But when dealing with mobs, this windmill is extremely useful.

Continuing forward, Song Ren saw a villager holding a torch in his hand and facing away from him at the corner of the stairs to the right.

At the same time, next to this villager, there was another villager lying there like a corpse.

"Tsk, tsk, Mr. Chen's trap can also deceive newbies. An experienced fireman like me will not be fooled." Song Ren chuckled, but he was also a little emotional, and it still tasted familiar!

Song Ren did not target the torchbearer Yanan who had his back turned to him.

Instead, he switched the hunting ax in his hand to short-handled mode, walked to the monster holding the corpse, and directly charged up a move to split Huashan.

As the ax struck the 'corpse', a health bar UI suddenly appeared on the opponent's head, which was emptied by the charged axe.

"Win back the victory!" Song Ren showed a happy smile, and his somewhat depressed mood, which had been dampened by the weapon settings, returned again.

"That's it!? You still want to trick me?" Song Ren laughed and walked down the stairs happily.

As soon as Song Ren got off the stairs, he wanted to see the difference between the front and back roads.

He heard from the direction behind him that four Yanan villagers who were patrolling rushed toward Song Ren like mad dogs.

‘away! ''away! ’

Crazy sounds came from the mouths of the villagers, showing their simple enthusiasm for treating outsiders.

A torch, a shield, a pitchfork, a butcher's knife, and a sickle were four different weapons that slashed at Song Ren.

The narrow terrain and the fact that he had already consumed some of his energy when running downstairs, combined with the super high attack power of the mobs in soul-based games, directly caused Song Ren to fall into silence for a while.

【you are dead! 】

The familiar death scene appeared on the screen.

The original soul, the original death scene, this taste is so right!
