Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

In addition to the plot and ending of the game, for most players who have completed the game.

The most concerning thing is the new gameplay that will be updated in "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" after the game is cleared.

That's despair mode.

Unlike "Dark Souls" and "Bloodborne", which have PVP content.

"Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" does not have an online function, and players can basically only interact with each other through mechanisms such as afterimages.

Therefore, for many players, "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" does not have much content that needs to be removed. After all, there are not many genres for players to cultivate accounts.

However, this does not mean that after completing "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", there will be no other content to play.

It can be said that in "Dark Soul" and "Bloodborne" everyone played for the development elements of RPG after completing a week of the plot.

And while the difficulty of the first round is maintained, the second and third rounds are not as difficult as imagined.

After all, in a week's time, basically most players have already upgraded their weapons and levels.

Compared with Sekiro, the RPG numerical elements of Bloodborne and Dark Souls still have a very large impact on the difficulty of the game.

Otherwise, it would not be said that in the prequel, if you get the Tomb King Sword in the early stage or wait for the correction to fully use the Guandao, there will be a saying that the game will become unparalleled.

But in "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", these two games are different from what most players imagined.

There are two ways to increase the difficulty in Sekiro. One is to hand over Kuro's amulet, and the other is to ring the bell at the bell ghost Buddhist hall of Mount Kumgang Senbong Temple.

And these two modes can be superimposed.

Among them, the Lien Zhan Strong mode can be unlocked by players after clearing the corresponding plot. This mode has been added to the game by Chen Xu in advance.

As for the despair mode, it is not available to players for the time being. Instead, the content will be updated after some bugs are fixed.

Although the VR version was produced by Chen Xu, the evil bugs such as swimming in the air and escaping from the previous life no longer exist. As for the ghost-shaped department jumping off the building to welcome the assassination of the broken monk, this is a backdoor specially left by it.

But a game cannot be completely free of bugs. At most, some minor bugs can be turned into features of the game itself.

But there are also some numerical contents that need to be balanced, so patches large and small cannot be escaped.

This time, the despair mode is different from the ordinary battle mode. The requirements for ordinary players are more stringent, that is, the player needs to clear the two-week game "Double Heroes" once, that is, the game can only be opened after the difficulty of the two games is superimposed.

As for this Despair Mode, in the previous life, some players made corresponding Despair MODs, which significantly changed Isshin's moves and desire to attack the BOSS, raising the difficulty to more than one level, and even adding corresponding DEBUFFs.

In this regard, Chen Xu directly made it a built-in mode of the game. In addition to the mode itself in the next update, there will also be a special racing ranking list for players to challenge and constantly refresh the time record. This can be regarded as An alternative PVP competition mode.

In the Despair Mode created by Chen Xu, in addition to strengthening the attack power, health value, and other basic attributes of mobs and bosses, some modifications were also made to the back and forth rocking movements of moves.

For example, the original Heartstring Ichiro Sakurabu's attack time is 1 second, so in despair mode, this time may be shortened by one third again.

In addition, the AI ​​of the BOSS in the game has also been comprehensively enhanced. In the past, the BOSS was stupid and took the initiative to attack, and players can take advantage of the situation and find loopholes.

But now, the BOSS may not necessarily strike first, but may confront the players and seize their weaknesses.

It's like hitting the player with a thrust when facing his adoptive father.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another biggest enhancement, that is, the unblockable skills will have no danger prompts.

Whether to see through or to step forward and jump to dodge depends entirely on the player's proficiency in the BOSS's moves.

Of course, it's not just that, because this despair mode adopts the same content progression as the normal game.

That is to say, from Ashina, to the clearance, and the strong Lien Zhan behind.

They all implement the despair mode, and in this mode, the moves of some genre cheats have also been changed. This means that players who have previously experienced the despair mode need to delve into the game mode in addition to basic skills. It can be said that in addition to monster growth, They are definitely two different games.

In the office of Nebula Games, Qin Yi crawled out of the Universal VR game warehouse and looked at Chen Xu who was doing a numerical check next to him with a painful look on his face.

"Mr. Chen, by the way, is the difficulty of this despair mode a little bit higher?"

God knows why he took the initiative to invite Ying to test. After half an hour of fighting, he didn't even fight the red ghost.

"How can it be so high? Although it is a despair mode, you can think of it as a new game process, and since it is called a despair mode, it must bring despair to the players! Otherwise, it can be worthy of those who have higher expectations. Is it more difficult to challenge players’ wishes?”

"Think about it, the player is in the mood of encountering a stronger and more terrifying enemy, but then suddenly finds that the enemy is so weak that it explodes. How disappointed would that be?" Chen Xu said with a smile.

So in order to let the players feel the sincerity in his heart, Chen Xu once again issued an order for the despair mode, that is: increase the intensity.

As for too difficult?

Will players suffer?

What a joke!

Isn’t this player here to play this game just to suffer?

………………

Regarding the despair mode, players still don’t know whether it will make people despair.

But for some players who are looking forward to the despair mode and take action to challenge the two heroes, they know one thing.

That’s not to mention the despair mode that hasn’t been updated yet.

The difficulty of these two weeks is enough to make them despair.

In the secret room of Hirata's mansion three years ago, Song Ren, who was embarking on a journey to challenge again, looked at the familiar death on the screen and the familiar words of Madam Butterfly, 'It's just a puppy', and silently chose to close the game.

In the first week of the game, like most players, he was full of ambition after getting through the game.

Then in Lien Chan, he successfully killed Genichiro in his heart. He felt that the only thing he could look forward to was the despair mode.

Until he opened the second round, the previous blood source and black soul second rounds can only be described as relaxed and freehand.

But the two eyes of this wolf were completely beyond his imagination.

The prayer beads and battle memories were inherited, and the health bar looked very long.

But unlike Black Soul, which has a blood source, it is really different that the blood bar is longer than the second eye. In Sekiro, he found that the monster's attack loses blood based on a percentage.

That is to say, it took three knives to chop him before, but it still takes three knives to chop him now.

And although the combat memory increases the attack power, the health bars of the BOSS and mobs also increase!

The more critical issue is when the difficulty is increased.

The sword is not perfect. In addition to increasing the parry bar, it also deducts blood!

You must know that in the first game, he was able to pass a martial arts trick called Shaking the Sword Technique, which helped him a lot.

Facing Ashina Genichiro's flying floating boat, Madame Butterfly's charged darts flying left and right, and his adoptive father's consecutive slashes, he relied on the sword-shaking technique.

but now?

If the block is not perfect, the blood will be deducted and he will be directly numb!

He didn't know how many times he lost blood because he didn't block perfectly and died under Madam Butterfly's phantom ball of light.

"You'd better return this amulet to me. After all, it's Kuro's token. It's better to keep it with me, a ninja."

Seeing the scene of the wolf resurrecting after death, Song Ren silently returned to the Buddhist sculptor and took back the amulet.
