Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

After chatting with Song Ren for a few words, Zhang Yi's originally anxious heart calmed down a little. He couldn't always scare himself.

Return your attention to the game, double jump and then move forward little by little along the cliff.

Zhang Yi took one look at the bottomless cliff and then looked away.

It has to be said that even though he has experienced this kind of high-altitude scene in many places, it still makes him a little scared every time he sees it.

Crossing the steep cliff, sneaking through the reeds next to it, and eavesdropping on it.

From the conversation of the mobs next to him, Zhang Yi quickly understood his situation. He needed to find the young master of the wolf in the game, Jiulang, and rescue him.

Zhang Yi clearly felt that this section was actually a tutorial for novices, because most places require climbing and two jumps to reach.

It's not a very long journey, only about a minute, and you get in through a room that looks like a dog hole.

Zhang Yi saw Jiulang who was reading there.

"This little boy looks a bit delicate."

Looking at Jiulang in the game, Zhang Yiba smacked his lips.

Then the game plot is triggered, and he gets a gourd that can heal injuries from Kurang's hand, as well as his own weapon: Kakimaru.

"Healing gourd..."

Looking at the gourd in his hand, Zhang Yi fell into silence for a while after drinking half of his blood.

Why is this sense of déjà vu getting stronger and stronger in this soul-playing game?

Thinking about the conversation with Kuro just now, the kind of UI interface without clear mission goals, only simple text descriptions.

Looking at the empty gourd in the backpack column that had not disappeared after drinking it, Zhang Yi's heart was already pounding.

I searched the second floor and found a healing pill, but I didn't take it.

Zhang Yi silently controlled the wolf in the game to open the door.

Zhang Yi's heart trembled slightly when he saw the prompt popping up to remind him to endure the killing.

Because it reminded him of the backstab in Dark Souls and the Chizhe attack in Bloodborne.

To attract the attention of the mob, Zhang Yi did not make any attack or defense actions because he wanted to test something.

The monster outside the gate saw the wolf pushing out of the door, and immediately turned his head and assumed a parrying posture, but did not attack immediately. Obviously, he did not have a strong desire to attack.

After standing there and waiting for about two or three seconds, the little weirdo in front of him slashed the wolf with the knife in his hand.

One knife, two knives, three knives...

The wolf, which was only half-healthy, fell to the ground instantly.

'die! ’

A huge blood-red artistic font appeared in the center of the screen.

Then he was resurrected in Kurang's room, but the original remaining blood became full blood, and the wine gourd he drank was also filled again.

It's just that in the previous promotional video, the wolf's regenerative power was not shown. I don't know whether it was because the conditions were not met or for some other reason.

But at this time, Zhang Yi didn't care about this detail at all.

He was completely Spartan!

This damage, this blood volume, and this familiar 'death' word interface.

The taste is simply too strong!

This is the soul game!

"Old Song, do you feel it? This is a soul game!" Zhang Yi called Song Ren a little collapsed.

"I've died four times." Song Ren's voice came from the other end of the voice.

"Why have you died so many times? Is it so difficult?" Zhang Yi was shocked.

Although it is a Souls game, they have also played Bloodborne and Dark Souls, and they are all high-level players.

Zhang Yi felt that although Song Ren's skills should be a little worse than his own, they were not too far behind.

But in just a short period of time, he died four times?

Is this game so difficult?

"It's not that it's difficult. You haven't experienced the combat system yet, have you? You'll know it once you play it, and the BOSS is dismissed right at the gate of the game. It's so efficient to die." Song Ren said here.

Combat system?

After hanging up the voice communication, Zhang Yi was a little curious.

After all, he knew Lao Song well, and thinking about the previous videos, it was true that this wolf looked different from Black Soul and Blood Origin.

Pushing the door open again, Zhang Yi controlled the wolf to rush forward. Before the opponent turned around, a red dot appeared in Zhang Yi's field of vision.

Attack decisively.

I saw the wolf in the game rushing behind the opponent in an instant, and then stabbed the opponent to the core with a sword, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

At the same time, the small soldiers under the steps also discovered the wolf. Zhang Yi controlled the wolf and ran forward and slashed it once or twice, directly filling the opponent's parry bar and the red dot of execution appeared.

"This is kind of cool!"

Zhang Yi looked surprised.

As is customary for Souls games, none of the mobs at the beginning are very difficult.

But when playing Dark Souls and Bloodborne, when faced with such mobs, killing them actually feels like nothing.

But in "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", Zhang Yi felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

And the most critical point is that without the energy bar, the restricted attacks are much smoother.

"So how did Lao Song die four times? I feel like the difficulty of the game without the energy bar shouldn't be as scary as I thought?"

Zhang Yi, who had just killed two guards, was very confident and a little strange at the same time.

But soon, Zhang Yi was slightly injured on the third soldier.

Because it is different from the previous minion who was sent out of the killing point with two swords.

This soldier was wearing light armor, and he was able to easily parry the wolf's attack with his sword.

And when he drew his sword, the soldier seemed to still be in a dominant state, and he could also fight back with his sword.

He was stabbed accidentally, but he followed the prompts.

Just like shield counterattack and gun counterattack, using Kakimaru to perform a perfect block in the game can greatly increase the enemy's parry bar, and when it is full, it can be directly executed with endurance.

The minion in front of him can be executed with a perfect block, so it is not that difficult.

After killing the two miscellaneous soldiers, Zhang Yi quickly came to a place with stone steps as he went up.

There are two roads in total, a gate and a path leading to the back mountain.

The door was locked tightly, and Zhang Yi saw a leading warrior named Yamauchi Shigenori at the door of the path next to him.

It looks like a mini-BOSS.

"Is this what Lao Song said about driving away monsters? But it seems like there is no need to fight?"

Generally speaking, BOSS battles in soul-based games usually completely block the surrounding roads during the battle.

But now Zhang Yi discovered that there was no such thing as white mist on the path next to the warrior. Obviously, players could pass directly.

"So this is a monster that early players cannot defeat, just like the big-assed demon in the prequel to Dark Souls!"

Zhang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of something.

Attracting hatred, Zhang Yi did not tangle with the warrior in front of him, but ran directly towards the side path.

He jumped from a dead branch to the city wall under the bridge. Behind him were the boss and the soldiers who were attracted to him but had no choice but to hate him.

"As expected! No need to fight!"

In an instant, a feeling of wisdom taking over the high ground arose.

He's so underestimated. He's not the kind of person to be reckless!

Mr. Chen’s malice? But that's it!

This is the experience honed through thousands of hours of playing Souls!

The trap has been broken!
