Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

In addition to the original "Silent Hill" story, many players are also studying various deeper things in the game.

Because as more and more game content is revealed.

Players have also discovered that the game has much more depth than they imagined.

There are also many contents related to religion, mysticism and psychology.

An excellent horror game will always make people feel less scared after completing the level.

Many players who have completed "Silent Hill" call "Silent Hill" the best horror game they have ever played.

It may seem that "Silent Hill" is not the scariest horror game, but it is the most depressing horror game.

The music, plot and atmosphere creation in the game have made many players sigh that this is a truly top horror game.

From beginning to end, the element of 'scare' has never been used in "Silent Hill".

Open the door to kill, turn around to kill, and suddenly a grimace pops up. This kind of operation is completely absent in "Silent Hill".

There is even a radio in the game that makes a noise when encountering a monster, alerting players that they are about to encounter a monster.

You must know that it is actually very easy and simple to scare players.

For example, arrange a plot in the front to let the players focus on this matter, and finally let out a terrifying grimace.

This is definitely possible.

However, this design actually has no technical content at all.

Not to mention being a designer of horror games, even a player who has played many horror games can arrange countless frightening scenes.

Therefore, in "Silent Hill", this kind of sudden fright is not used throughout the whole process, but heavy fog, environment and sound effects are used to make people feel an extremely depressing atmosphere. This is why many players are amazed.

Of course, no matter how ingenious the design is, how powerful the content and depth are, or how much artistic value it has.

But one thing is always undeniable.

That is, "Silent Hill" has indeed brought endless psychological shadow to many players.

Many players originally went for the first 10,000 reward spots.

It turned out that these players had too much on their minds.

Because on the first day, this quota has already been released.

In addition, there are also some players who are rushing to try something new and prepare to slowly pass the level within the limit. They also feel that they are broken.

Although I didn't think about the 10,000 quota at first, I just wanted to buy "Silent Hill" and the exchange coupons for free.

But players with this idea are basically players who don't play horror games very much, but who think they are brave.

Ever since entering the game, these players also collapsed.

Such a heavy fog, such a weird monster, and you have to find clues and solve puzzles in each level.

Although someone has already put together a guide for the game online, players do not need to use their own brains to solve puzzles and pass levels.

But this is a horror game!

Even if they follow the guide, the atmosphere in the game is still something they experience personally.

This is hard to resist.

In the end, I gave up the choice of video playthrough, which not only saved my life, but also allowed me to know the plot of the game.

It is better to bite the bullet and clear the level so that you don't lose money, and at the same time experience the game plot from your own perspective.

This has become a very confusing thing for players.

Compared to players, Chen Xu is quite happy now.

In the office of Nebula Games, Chen Xu looked at the statistical data and smiled.

"Sure enough, this kind of prize-giving activity has greatly improved the game's clearance rate! The VR version's 38% clearance rate is a new high for horror games!"

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Qin Yi and others next to him showed speechless expressions.

What does it mean that people die for wealth and birds die for food?

The performance of "Silent Hill" fully illustrates this point.

Players trade their lives for the game. Isn’t this what the players deserve?

As a horror game, "Silent Hill" has maintained its popularity very well.

In addition to being assisted by the activities of Nebula Games itself.

That is, "Silent Hill" itself is also a game suitable for live streaming.

It can be regarded as a live game.

The so-called live broadcast game means that players can feel the fun just by watching it. Although the fun they feel may be different from the people playing it, it is still a kind of fun.

For example, soul games, horror games, and games like Sledgehammer can be said to be very standard live broadcast games.

By watching the live broadcast, players enjoy the way the anchor collapses due to abuse, is frightened and collapses, and then gains happiness.

Secondly, "Uncharted" and "The Last of Us" also have some attributes in it, because players can treat it as a serialized TV series or a big movie to enjoy its excellent plots and various grand scenes. valley

On the contrary, games like "Red Dead Redemption" and "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" are not suitable for live streaming.

In fact, this is true for most open world games.

Because these games require players to experience the open and free gameplay themselves, and the span between plot and gameplay is long.

If you watch it, you won't be able to feel the core point of the game at all.

………………

In the Nebula Game Rest Area, Chen Xu was chatting with Qin Yi and others.

For example, benefits sent to players.

After all, the sales volume of "Silent Hill" has even exceeded the previous highest sales of "Resident Evil: Village".

Even compared with other first-line masterpieces under Nebula Games, it is not far behind.

But it's just a number. After all, it is raised through reward activities, so it doesn't have much reference value. Unless it is a pure torture game, it can basically rely on this kind of welfare activity to raise the value.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, have you read the posts discussed by players in the official community?" Qin Yi suddenly thought of something and asked Chen Xu.

"Huh? What?" Chen Xu was curious after hearing Qin Yi's words.

"Someone is analyzing the internal and external world in Silent Hill." Qin Yi took out his cell phone from his pocket and clicked on the post.

Taking the mobile phone from Qin Yi's hand, Chen Xu took one look and was speechless.

The content of the post, various distances and even holding the "" previously produced by Nebula Games

"So you can't decide on quantum mechanics when something happens?" Chen Xu shook his head gently.

It seems pretty reliable, but it can be said that "Silent Hill" has nothing to do with quantum mechanics.

Religion, mysticism, and psychology, but they have nothing to do with quantum mechanics.

Including the mysterious power of Silent Hill and Maria who was born in response to a wish, none of them have anything to do with this.

If you really want to say it, "Silent Hill" is more centered around Freudian psychophilosophy.

"But Mr. Chen, can I make a small suggestion?" Ruan Ningxue couldn't help but speak.

"Huh?" Chen Xu looked sideways.

"Can there be some human aesthetics in the art of subsequent projects?" Ruan Ningxue expressed strong condemnation.

The most frustrating thing about the games produced by Nebula Games in the past two years is the monster design in the game.

"The Witcher: Wild Hunt", "Resident Evil: Village" and a series of others, including the recently launched "Dota" and "God of War", although there are many beautiful characters.

But in general, most of them were curious. Until the appearance of "Silent Hill", the weirdness of the monsters in it can be said to be close to that of "Bloodborne".

Although not all the work falls on her, the more critical points are all handled by her, and these key points are all content that makes people laugh.

To put it bluntly, during the development of "Silent Hill", she fell into a sleep crisis.

"Ahem, definitely next time." After hearing Ruan Ningxue's words, Chen Xu coughed twice.

"But in the past two years, the trend of traditional RPGs seems to have started again." Meng Zuo couldn't help but interrupt. In his hand was a recent game sales list.

It's been a while since "God of War" was released, plus "Silent Hill" was just released and "Fireworks" can only be regarded as a small-scale game. In terms of selling price, it's a bit of a loss. You have to sell 100 copies to beat others. So I didn’t board it.

But compared with previous years, the proportion of traditional RPG types has gradually increased.

"The cost of VR-side development is gradually declining, and traditional RPGs have an advantage for the VR-side. They focus on turn-based gameplay and the core of the plot, so that players can have a stronger sense of immersion. Compared with more open action-based games, New element-based RPGs are more beneficial to some manufacturers with insufficient technology and funds." Chen Xu is not uninterested in this area, and he understands how this trend came about.

"But when it comes to traditional RPGs, I do have a good idea." Chen Xu thought of something and smiled.

"Huh? Mr. Chen, what do you think?" Everyone was curious.

"You will know when the time comes." Chen Xu pretended.

But after he finished speaking, Chen Xu, who was sitting on the sofa, felt a little helpless when he saw the group of people staring at him and spread his hands.

"It's just a preliminary idea. I don't know if you have heard of this saying. The end of science is theology. Although it is just a fallacy, as an art theme style of the game, don't you think it's cool?"

"Using a scientific model to show a fantasy world, mechas and gods."

"At the same time, the reason, essence and soul in Socratic philosophy are the main core, which triggers the game story background."

"Who am I, where do I come from, and where do I want to go? Is it because I think that I am, or because other people's perceptions lead to my existence."

"It can be said that this is a story about the world, the universe and the origin of oneself." Chen Xu said slowly while looking at everyone.

Confused, still confused.

Ruan Ningxue, Yang Xin, Meng Zuo, Qin Yi and others looked at Chen Xu in confusion.

They understood every word, but together they were completely confused.

Mr. Chen, can you speak in human language?

"Mr. Chen, can you explain it in words we can understand?" Yang Xin said after holding back for a long time.

"Okay, if you insist on saying it this way, then this is a retro royal and passionate story about a boy who meets a girl and then bravely runs forward to save the world." Listening to Yang Xin's words, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh.

Why do you have to explain it like this? This awesome style suddenly fell from the clouds to the bottom!
