Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

The topic of "Escape" on the Internet continues.

How long this fire about "Escape" can be burned actually depends on how long it can be burned on the live broadcast platform.

Because of the horror quality of the game itself, it is unrealistic to expect "Escape" to maintain the trend of fire.

At the same time, some game manufacturers and designers on the Internet have rumored to develop corresponding horror games.

Obviously, he was going to take a peek at the horror fever brought by "Escape".

As for the type, don't even think about it, most of them are escape-style gameplay without a combat system.

Chen Xu didn't pay too much attention to this.

Because the development of "Escape" was not in Chen Xu's plan before that.

If it weren't for the fact that he had just drawn a prop that could convert points, Chen Xu would not have been prepared to develop this game.

"In terms of time, two months is a little too rushed." Chen Xu looked at the next date and calculated in his heart.

Really big games, and VR games, are not considered for the time being as before.

Still lacking some capital.

In addition, because of the upcoming Chinese New Year, even if you want to develop a medium-sized game, it will not be launched until after the new year.

And during this period, Chen Xu is also going to recruit some talents from the headhunter who can be responsible for other aspects other than game development.

In addition, it is the Nebula game platform.

From a functional point of view, the current Nebula game store has a relatively complete set of functions.

Shop, Inventory, Community, Friends, and Reviews, including the Workshop on previous Steam platforms.

Of course, some interface UIs such as recommendations have not been done for the time being. After all, there are currently only three games above.

"Escape", "To the Moon" and "Under the Legend".

The platform is already mature, the key is that there is no player user group.

At present, the total number of games sold on the Nebula game platform is only 15,000.

As for the daily active, less than 1000 people.

However, although it is bleak, Chen Xu still has high hopes for the platform.

"There is no shortage of funds for the time being, and it is almost time to start from the platform." Chen Xu calculated in his heart.

If you want to accumulate platform users as quickly as possible, the exclusive strategy is obviously the most effective.

Major game manufacturers at home and abroad, as well as some channels.

In fact, there are also related exclusive strategies.

However, this method certainly does not belong to the current Nebula game.

There is a little money, but the capital gap with the major game manufacturers is still very large.

If you really want to use an exclusive strategy, you must launch a sufficiently attractive game.

But the key problem is that launching this type of game at this time is definitely a wedding dress for other game manufacturers.

After all, there is no protection for the gameplay, and many multiplayer online games based on gameplay creativity in the past life are the big killers in Chen Xu's hands.

If you use it now, it is not to blow up others, but to blow yourself up.

'Multi-channel, buyout system, discounted price, bundled pass, multiplayer online. ’

Sitting in front of the computer, Chen Xu pondered for a long time, then picked up the pen beside him and wrote a few key words on the notebook.

This is his definition of the new game to be developed next.

Needless to say about the channel, the current Nebula game is not suitable for playing the exclusive set.

The buyout system is to match the price concessions and better attract players to go to the Nebula game platform for consumption.

As for the bundled pass, that is, if players purchase the next new game on other platforms, they must register for the pass account of Nebula Games for authentication.

This may indeed lose a group of troublesome players,

There are even some channels that prohibit this account linking model.

But it is still very important for the user accumulation of early Nebula games.

Regardless of consumption or not, players may even register without a download platform.

You can at least register a pass first.

For multiplayer online, it is better to ensure this mode, allowing players to connect across platforms.

As for project selection, the game will not be too large either.

It's an exploratory game after all.

In addition, this year's Spring Festival is relatively late, and New Year's Eve will only be celebrated on February 11 of the lunar calendar.

Two months is enough to develop a low-cost game.

………………

Sitting in front of the computer, set a plan for the next major development.

Chen Xu came out of the office to get some air, and by the way, he thought about which game to choose for the next new project.

After all, there is still a lot to choose from.

It was time to get off work, and some employees who didn't go home at noon greeted Chen Xu when they saw him.

Chen Xu also nodded in response to this. Looking at the area of ​​the office, Chen Xu also considered whether to expand it.

I didn't feel it when there were few people in the past. Now, the R\u0026D department is together with other departments. The office space is a bit crowded, and each work station is simply separated by isolation boards.

However, the thought just came up, and before he could think about it, he was interrupted by Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue who came over.

"Mr. Chen, you've all been made into an emoji," said Ruan Ningxue with a smile on her face.

"No, it should be said that what our President Chen said was made into an emoji." Yang Xin held up his mobile phone and said.

Chen Xu glanced at it and was a little speechless. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

I saw that Yang Xin's mobile phone displayed a screenshot that had been PS.

The content of the screen is a screenshot of the protagonist in the escape to the doctor scissors who cut his fingers to do the 'abdominal exercise', and there is a sentence next to it: I am a warrior of love!

Yang Xin swiped his finger on the screen, and a new emoji appeared, a screenshot of the fat uncle picking his head.

Of course, the picture has a mosaic, and a line of words beside it: I am also a warrior of love!

"This meme hasn't passed yet?" Chen Xu was a little speechless, but also a little funny.

"Of course not. If any of the "Escape" players don't know this stalk, then they are ashamed of their experience of being frightened!" Ruan Ningxue said with a smile.

"That's right!" Yang Xin agreed.

"Who made your original explanation, Mr. Chen, so insane!" Ruan Ningxue dug out the official blog posted by Chen Xu earlier.

The number of likes has exceeded 500,000, and the comments have reached more than 70,000.

"Players always misunderstand me!" After all, Chen Xu still had a smile on his face, and an idea flashed in his mind.

"Well, I've decided! I have to prove my label of 'the warrior of love'. I'll decide to choose a very friendly game for the next game." Chen Xu said with a smile.

Ruan Ningxue looked surprised: "Mr. Chen, is there a new project so soon? What type!?"

"Quite friendly game? Mr. Chen, you won't come to this set of rhetoric from "Escape" again, will you?" Yang Xin expressed doubts.

"Don't worry, I will think about it for two days and then I will tell you the content of the game, but the size will not be very large, it happens that this year's Spring Festival and Valentine's Day will be spent together, and then I will present a very suitable game for the players. Games." Chen Xu said with a smile.
