Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

After nearly a month, Chen Xu also returned to Nebula Games with his team.

During this period, in addition to the two wizard DLCs "Heart of Stone" and "Blood and Wine", they attracted countless players online.

After entering the New Year, major game manufacturers that had previously avoided the Nebula game "Resident Evil: Village" have also made efforts one after another.

FOW, which previously chose to skip the game, has achieved some good results with its new game "The Lost Curse".

It's not really a super game, but it's still an excellent game.

However, NetDragon’s new game has caught the attention of many players.

Relying on the little blond loli's work, it can be said to be a textbook example of a bounced ticket.

The good quality itself has also won the favor of many players, which can be regarded as a shot in the arm for NetDragon. After all, NetDragon has been called an Internet bitch by many players in the past two years.

The main reason is that I have been unable to come up with new works, and I have repeatedly cooked up all kinds of old work. This new work can be considered a good change.

However, in addition to these new games, many players are also concerned about the competition for various awards this year.

Starting from the beginning of the new year, a large number of game review media’s annual game awards are coming.

Different game evaluation media have different evaluation rules for each annual game, and the awards ceremony time is also different. Some are completed earlier at the end of December, while others are later.

In addition, various awards have different specifications. Some are like large-scale ceremonies and evenings with various performances, while others are just meaningless and do not even have medals or trophies.

But regardless of whether the scale is large or small, the two protagonists this year are "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" and FOW's "Wasteland 1978".

In some large-scale award ceremonies, players basically stay in front of their computers and watch the live broadcast.

Although it has nothing to do with them, it is just for fun after all.

But soon many players discovered a surprising place.

"Eh... Mr. Chen didn't even attend this annual game award!?"

"Yes! Even the official Chen Xu of the game department was not present! Isn't Chen Xu the honorary representative designer of the game department?"

"Not only Chen Xu, but also Alex from FOW didn't attend!"

"Alex didn't attend. I can think of the reason. After all, it's a bit tragic. I thought "Wasteland 1" turned out to be "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" suddenly appeared in the second half of the year. I wouldn't go if I wanted to! "

"Brother upstairs, stop thinking nonsense, it's not your turn at all."

"Fuck, can't I just dream?"

"Brother, this dream is a bit luxurious for you. I think you just need to think about it in your mind. You may not even dream about it."

And just when the players were discussing why in these annual game awards events, even if the two winners Alex and Chen Xu didn't come, senior executives from the company came forward instead, a piece of gossip suddenly came out. It went viral online.

That is, Chen Xu and Alex are both concentrating on developing new games.

After seeing this news, many players' first reaction was not to believe it, and it did not attract much attention.

After all, at the end of the year, there were not ten but eight similar news.

Of course, there is a certain rationality. After all, forget about the best events of the year in previous years and those organized by third-party media.

But just like the annual official event, Chen Xu will still make an appearance.

But this time, even the activities of the game department were neglected.

But then some more important news broke out, that is, a player took photos of Chen Xu and his team in Boston.

Judging from the photos leaked, it is obvious that this is not an ordinary company tour. After all, the places visited are not well-known attractions.

So this is very likely to be a realistic scene. At this time, many players also thought of the previous development of "Assassin's Creed".

Are you going to show the scenery of Boston or Massachusetts this time?

Many players frantically left messages on Chen Xu’s official blog, asking if it was true.

Facing these crazy players, Chen Xu didn't hide it anymore.

The new news was announced directly and generously.

'Virus, doomsday, bondage...'

Doomsday, virus, bondage?

Looking at these three keywords released by Chen Xu, many players were confused.

It seems familiar!

Thinking back to the previous village, isn’t it perfectly linked to the IP of “Resident Evil”?

So this new work is still a sequel to Biochemical?

After Chen Xu’s official blog released the information, it spread directly to various game forums at home and abroad.

Players who like "Resident Evil" beat gongs and drums one after another to express their excitement.

At the same time, we are also speculating whether the new work may introduce Rose's story, and whether Ethan will die in the end.

Although in the official game plot, Ethan seems to have died together with the fungus owner.

But in the final Easter egg plot, Rose and the detective's car stopped on the road in the distance, and there was a figure next to the car.

Many players are speculating whether that is Ethan.

Perhaps these questions may be revealed in the new work?

In addition to excited players, many designers in the game industry are also very surprised by this.

No one expected that Chen Xu's next game would probably be in the horror genre, and it seemed to be a biochemical sequel.

After all, Nebula Games has never been very fond of launching sequels, except for the continuous mode of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

But then again, even if it is not a sequel to Biochemical.

It feels unusual to launch a similar game in such a short time this time.

………………

The gaming industry is in turmoil, and Chen Xu from Nebula Games is also very emotional.

"I didn't want to draw a pie, but this player keeps forcing me to draw a pie! I haven't even had time to create the folder for this game yet."

Chen Xu couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the hot word 'Nebula Games' new game' that had become a headline online.

Nebula Games has always been criticized by players as a painter.

From the earliest actual machine demonstration to later promotional trailers, to only promotional concept pictures, as well as a simple game name and background description.

Now there are only a few keywords.

"Then Mr. Chen, you are deliberately trying to interest the players." Listening to Chen Xu's words, Ruan Ningxue and others next to him were also speechless.

Nearly a month of history was used for actual location shooting.

During this period, everyone has been discussing the art direction of the game.

At present, the overall style has basically been determined, and the main thing to look at is the actual output performance.

But at the end of the day, at least the things that can be shown to players are just these few keywords.

And I can’t say much more.

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the players are demanding it." Although Chen Xu sighed with emotion, the smile on his face never broke.

"Okay, let's pack our things and go to the conference room to give you a brief introduction to the new work." Chen Xu stood up and said.

Compared with previous games, there are still many things that need to be changed and paid attention to when putting the game "The Last of Us" on Universal VR.
