Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

After completely clearing the level, Zhang Yi was still filled with emotion when looking at the UI that returned to the game's starting interface.

The first 10,000 spots obviously have nothing to do with him.

As for the achievement of clearing the customs, it is obvious that he has already achieved it.

He is very happy now.

It's not because of money.

As we all know, prostitution is for pleasure.

Just like Nebula Games, they often give players some plus-one games.

And are these games masterpieces?

Not really.

Is it a high-quality independent game?

Neither.

Except for some special festivals, the free gifts are usually small games that many players jokingly say dogs don’t even play, but as long as they are given away, players still happily pick them up.

Whether to play it or not, or even download it or not, is another matter. As long as you look at the HiPlus One in the inventory, you will feel a full sense of reward.

And now Zhang Yi also has a similar idea, that is, the ticket to Silent Hill is completely worth the money spent.

At the same time, he also received a CDKEY, a special gift prepared for a good friend.

Even when he was heading to the place where Lao Song held a party, he passed by the Nebula Game Peripheral Flagship Store at the door and found that there were official figures of "Silent Hill" on sale inside.

He bought one without hesitation to add thickness to his gift to Lao Song.

Of course, it's not the figure of the nurse nurse sister who looks more seductive, but the third brother holding a machete.

Compared with a wallet he bought casually in the mall, there is no doubt that the highlight of his gift today is the third brother’s figure and the CDKEY he worked so hard to type. Zhang Yi hopes that his good brother Song Ren can think of him at night, The happiness I had gained in the small town of Silent Hill before.

This is him, wanting to show the most sincere brotherhood.

Looking back on his experience in Silent Hill, he can say that he loves and hates this game.

A good horror game always has a reason to make it less scary.

Of course this is after the fact, but actually?

Is "Silent Hill" scary? It can be said to be very scary, and even makes many old players feel that it is scarier than "Escape".

Because its terror does not come from powerful monsters or surprising route design, but more from a feeling.

It's obviously not a very scary environment, but after adding a little bit of exaggeration, it seems to have a magic power that can penetrate deep into the bone marrow, making everyone shudder.

This is a kind of spiritual terror and a strong psychological suggestion.

Every element in "Silent Hill" inspires deep feelings in players.

It does not rely on external factors in the game, but stimulates fear in players through the stimulation and induction of the game environment.

At the same time, what is even more amazing is that the plot of "Silent Hill" is also about psychological topics.

After clearing the level, many players also made profound summaries of the various monsters in "Silent Hill" and their representative meanings.

The faceless and armless monster you encounter at the beginning, its main attack method is to spit poisonous mist, and is nicknamed the Shooting Man by many players.

This monster symbolizes James's distress during Mary's illness: unable to touch her or hold her, as if his hands were tied.

The monster's twisted body symbolizes the sick Mary's twisted body caused by the pain of the disease.

At the same time, the monster's attack method-spraying poisonous mist also symbolizes the harm Mary said to James during her illness.

In addition, the mannequin James is the embodiment of sexual repression, consisting of two lower bodies, and can be considered a monster with no thoughts but only desires.

The nurse with a swollen face in the hospital symbolizes Mary's delusions caused by James' sexual repression during her hospitalization. The nurse's face wrapped in something also symbolizes Mary's face that suffocated to death in the end.

The triangular head is a reflection of James's violence and guilt, representing James' trial and punishment for his crimes.

Because James felt powerless about his crime, he could not harm the Triangle Head and could only escape helplessly, watching it kill Maria again and again, repeating James' crime of killing his wife.

It can be said that the entire game not only presents players with a tragic love story.

It also presents a content with a deep enough core.

"Lao Zhang, thank you so much!" Song Ren looked at the portrait of the third brother on the outer package with a pained face.

"You're welcome, who among us brothers is following whom?" Zhang Yi chuckled: "Have you played "Silent Hill"? I specially typed a CDKEY for you."

Hearing this, Song Ren showed a smile that made Zhang Yi feel a little bad.

"I must have played it before. By the way, Lao Zhang, which ending do you like?" Song Ren said without leaving any trace.

"Which ending? There are more endings in this game?" Zhang Yi was confused.

"There are three endings in the game, don't you know?" Song Ren looked surprised.

But Zhang Yi was completely confused.

He really didn't know about the multiple endings of "Silent Hill".

In fact, this is also the case for most players. They are scared from the beginning and think that the game is over after they get through it.

But who knew, this game actually has multiple endings.

Some players left Silent Hill with Lola after beating the game.

After killing Maria, some players chose to drive into the lake with Mary's body and sink to the bottom of the lake with Mary forever.

Some players finally killed Mary and then left Silent Hill with Maria.

These different endings also affect each player's recognition of the game story.

The design of "Silent Hill" also surprised many players.

After all, a horror game actually uses a multiple ending mode?

Do these endings have different meanings?

And how were these endings achieved?

Games with multiple endings such as "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" generally give players a variety of choices in the game.

But in "Silent Hill", it's completely a one-line model.

It's exactly the same as "Uncharted" and "The Last of Us", with no dialogue or behavioral choices at all.

The cutscenes that are triggered are also fixed.

So if you only briefly clear the level, you really don’t know how the game will end, just like Zhang Yi now.

"It's okay, Lao Zhang. There's no shame in not getting through other endings. After all, this game is quite scary. It takes some courage to satisfy different endings." Song Ren pretended to comfort.

"By the way, Lao Zhang, I have already completed the entire game. Including the Nebula Game Platform's platinum trophy, I have already exceeded 100. It's not easy!" Song Ren laughed mischievously.

Seeing Old Song's mischievous smile, Zhang Yi was silent for a few seconds.

At this time, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind, "Fight with the evil dragon for too long, and you will become an evil dragon yourself; stare into the abyss for too long, and the abyss will stare back."

When he was thinking about giving Lao Song a big gift at his birthday party, the other party seemed to have already thought about how to give him a gift in return.
