Game Production: Players Want to Kill Me

The game of Hollow Knight, in fact, looks like it alone, whether it is running pictures or boss battles, it is not particularly difficult, but on the whole, it is relatively difficult.

The save point of the Hollow Ride is 108,000 miles away from the boss battle, and if you encounter a difficult thorn on the way, or encounter a mob, and die on the road, the soul stored in the boss will be completely gone, this habit is the same as the dark soul.

Then there's Hollow Knight, which is also a parkour flow game, with some scenes designed to be absolutely painful.

However, the current gameplay is only the first level, and several players are playing seriously, it can be seen that they still like the style of this game.

More female fans were curious to ask questions on the side: "Dusty, when is this game expected to be launched?"

"In a month's time, this game will surprise everyone, and I can guarantee that this game is really too easy compared to the previous one."

The player who played at this moment said: "Dusty, this game doesn't have a map, after I ran the map, I didn't find the map button."

Zhao Chen smiled slightly: "There is a map, but this map strategy, you have to find it yourself, all the elements of this game are hidden in the map, you need to dig it yourself." "

Is that so?"

However, the initial maps are not complicated, and most of the exploration is almost the same, but unfortunately, they will not save money yet, and some things are not purchased from NPCs.

Soon, the two of them reached the boss battle of the first level.

The boss of this first level is a fake knight, very large, holding a sledgehammer, and his attacks are relatively fixed.

The two players were very serious, and first carefully familiarized themselves with the moves, and then went up, whether it was a false knight sledgehammer or emitting seismic waves, it was considered a smooth passage.

The entire game screen, in the dim blue underground cave, the villain fights with the fake knight, when the fake knight is knocked to the ground, the head shows a huge white bug, the player immediately manipulates the villain to strike.

Poof!

This blow is still very good.

When the first level of the boss is played, the game is considered to be over.

"It's gone?"

One player couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly: "Yes, the initial game is only here, and the rest needs to wait for the game to go online." What do you think of the game?

"It's fun, and the difficulty is not too difficult, compared to your previous game, the difficulty is really one heaven and one underground."

"Yes, and the style of art and music and the sense of percussion are very good, and you can also learn skills, I think this game is very good, more fun than the 36 ways to die."

This remark caused the onlookers behind him to laugh.

Zhao Chen also smiled: "Then look forward to this game." "

The players who tried it out were a batch, and there were a lot of media personnel during the period, and even the whole process was videotaped, and when the time came, they had to go back and write a manuscript for publicity.

When the exhibition ended today, Zhao Chen pulled Fang Wei and went directly to rent a simple house, ready to get the office up.

The office building is not much needed for the time being, because his ability has not been fully filled, large-scale games cannot be produced, and it is good to get a studio with several people now, after all, the game production in this world is much easier, plus he is a systematic man.

When Zhao Chen was busy, the media's publicity of "Hollow Knight" also began.

"Shocked, the old thief new game is online, after the trial, I can only say: fall off the altar."

""Hollow Knight", the old thief's new game, a decent ordinary work."

In major forums, there are also small broken boxes and even a certain pounce, and the news about the media-evaluation is also directly released.

Huang Xiaoshuai, as a media evaluator of the Thief Network, did not go to the exhibition, after all, he was not in Jiangnan City, but this did not prevent him from watching other people's reviews.

"Hollow Knight? The old thief is really mass-produced like a sow, let me see how this new tour is first. He

also clicked in first to play the demo video and quickly watched it.

After reading it, he went to read the comments on the forum again, and saw that the forum was basically noisy.

"Smashed, played smashed, is the old thief only making 2D horizontal games, the previous digging to survive, and then 36 ways to die, and now there is another empty knight?" Disgusting! Have the ability to do something different to come out, but also independent game producers, I bah, this game must be on the street, disgusting, disgusting!

"I see this game from the beginning to the end, I really don't think it's fun, the characteristics of the old thief's game, is the blind pursuit of high difficulty, but there are already 36 similar ways to die, what does it mean that he made another empty knight?" This game has really fallen off the altar, and sales are definitely not good. "

Falling off the altar? What, has the old thief ever been on the altar? is only a small junior, although he is a game production major, when has he ever been on the altar, did the game win an award, or did the sales enter the top ten of the game platform's annual sales?

"I'm a fan of sanity, let me say, judging from the demo video, this game, I think it's okay, the music picture, are more exquisite than the previous one, and you can also look at what the old thief said, he said that the previous game, can only be regarded as a small game, this game is the second independent game, if divided, it should be a B-level game."

"In this demonstration, only the first level, what can be seen in the first level? And this game has a story, I'm an old thief. "

Huang Xiaoshuai's face is strange, isn't this someone who is not used to engaging in old thieves?

A new game, there are so many people scolding?

It's just a pity that Huang Xiaoshuai didn't play the Hollow Knight, otherwise, he would definitely have to be evaluated.

Quantum Studio, Huang Jinan also finished watching the demonstration process of the Hollow Knight.

"How about boss, will his game explode?"

Huang Jinan pondered for a while: "Maybe, judging from the actual demonstration of this first level, the level of the whole game is online, reaching the level of a boutique studio, but whether it can explode, it's hard to say." "

He has created the same type of games before, and the works are published so frequently, there must be some players who are tired of it, this kind of Galaxy Castlevania type of game, pearl jade in front, it is more difficult to sell too well."

There is a lot of noise on the Internet, but the final result depends on sales.

And this month, as if Zhao Chen did not notice the debate on the Internet, he had already chosen an office location and directly began to recruit.

The follow-up development and production of Hollow Knight is also working overtime, for Zhao Chen, anyway, the code of the original game is there, and only a small number of adjustments need to be made, which is not difficult.

Another is the game "I Wanna", Zhao Chen directly opened the creative workshop, players can design and make maps to upload and download, play, undoubtedly, this is similar to Mario in the previous life, greatly enhancing the vitality of the game.

In addition, the veteran game anchor of the Fighting Shark platform also began to stabilize in popularity with this game.

Every time I enter his live broadcast room, I hear his maniacal laughter.

"Sample, isn't this easy?"

"Hey! Ay! I'm your great aunt! Then

came the sound of smashing keyboards and pounding tables.
