Chapter 312 Ten Times Scarier?
The next day.

Wang Jian was wearing a headset and staring at the screen with a serious expression. He was playing a horror game "Strange Hospital".

Although he has dabbled in all kinds of games, he really doesn't play horror games.

To make a horror game this time, I have to make up lessons to see how scary other horror games are.

While playing horror games, I also purchased experience books such as "Elements of Horror Games" and "Psychology in Horror Games" to increase my understanding of horror games.

On the screen is a dark ward with several dilapidated beds. Only the protagonist's flashlight illuminates the surroundings. You can see that there are some bloody marks scattered on the dirty and faded walls, as if they were scratched by sharp nails. It's like bleeding, very weird.

Bai Liao came over with the document and called out twice, seeing that Wang Jian was very devoted and showed no signs of agreeing: "Boss, you are playing "Civilization" again...huh?"

Snapped!
He patted Wang Jian on the shoulder.

Wang Jian was immersed in the game, and was so frightened by such a sudden shot that his whole body trembled.

Finally reacted, took off the earphones, and looked at Bai Liao with dissatisfaction: "Damn, you kid dare to tease me? Deduction of wages and deduction of wages! This will scare me to death at least 1000 brain cells, deducting you 1000 yuan is not too much Bar?"

Bai Liao's snickering face instantly turned into mourning, his legs were about to kneel on the ground as soon as his legs gave way, but was supported by Wang Jian: "Boss, I was wrong! I won't dare again!"

In fact, Wang Jian was just making a joke, he didn't really want to deduct his salary, and Bai Liao was also playing a trick.

Wang Jian pretended to be unhappy, moved away from the chair, and pushed Bai Liao up: "You don't have to deduct your salary if you want, just play for 10 minutes!"

Bai Liao really panicked: "Don't, boss, I'm not good at horror games!"

After a while.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

Just as Bai Liao opened a door, a bloody face suddenly jumped out on the screen, which made him scream out in fright.

"Got you!"

The ghost chased after him madly, and Bai Liao also controlled the character to run away wildly.

And Wang Jian touched his chin, frowning slightly.

Putting himself into it doesn't feel the same as watching others play. He can observe the performance of the game more with a scrutiny attitude.

The scare point just now is a typical jumpscare, which means "suddenly frightened", and it is also a bad method used in horror games and horror movies.

Although the cost is cheap and the design is simple and crude, it really works.

For example, when the door is opened in a strange noise, a ferocious ghost suddenly pops out, accompanied by piercing screams; or when the character passes by the bed, a hand suddenly stretches out from under the bed; or is about to look in the mirror , besides himself, there was another monster behind him, anyone would have to be startled.

Jumpscare also has a difference between exquisite design and rough design. Although simple and rough design without creativity can scare people at first, but after seeing more, it will not scare people, but will make people disgusted.

There is a difference between fright and horror!
Like the bloody grimace that Bai Liao met just now, it was really scary at first glance, but Wang Jian had seen it twice before.

Although the atmosphere of the game is good, the sudden appearance and repeated use of jumpscare always feel a bit disruptive to the atmosphere.

While Wang Jian was thinking, he compared it with the "PT" in his mind, thinking about how to use scare points.

Bai Liao ran for a while, stopped, and said in shock, "Whew... where is the ghost? The ghost is gone?"

Wang Jian smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you were also scared, so your salary will not be deducted."

Bai Liao reluctantly let go of the mouse. Judging by his appearance, he is a typical person who wants to play horror games but dare not.

He scratched his head: "Boss, what did I come here to do just now, oh yes, this is what we discussed in our meeting yesterday.

By the way, don't you usually play "Civilization", why did you suddenly play a horror game today? "

Wang Jiandao: "The next game, I plan to make a horror game, so now play horror games and gain some experience."

Baili Ao heard the words and his spirits lifted: "Making horror games? Boss, are you going to participate in the Qingming Festival themed game competition?"

"Theme game competition?" Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know.

Ching Ming Festival, Hungry Ghost Festival and Cold Clothes Festival are the three major ghost festivals in China.

Generally, horror games in Huaguo are launched on these days.

Foreign horror games are mainly released on Halloween.

Just like novel websites have various types of solicitations, game platforms sometimes hold competitions for themed games.

The winning games in the event, in addition to bonuses, can also get eye-catching recommendation slots on the game platform to increase exposure.

In fact, the bonus is just a symbolic encouragement, and the real important thing is the recommendation position. For small game companies or independent game studios, this is a very good opportunity to stand out.

Bai Liao took out his mobile phone and flipped through it: "Look, Boss."

Ching Ming Festival Horror Theme Game Contest!
Registration method, entry requirements, selection rules...

Wang Jian read it carefully and raised his eyebrows: "Okay, let's sign up for it too."

Although Longyuan Huyu has a good foundation of fans now, but every time a new game is released, it still needs to spend a lot of money on publicity and promotion.

Wang Jian has no doubt that "PT", a masterpiece, will definitely win the competition.

This kind of great publicity opportunity is not for nothing.

Seeing Wang Jian's full confidence, Baili Ao reminded: "Boss, as far as I know, there are many strong enemies in this game competition! It is said that Huozhu Company also plans to take this opportunity to release new games!"

Candle Company?

Wang Jian naturally knew about this company, because the "Strange Hospital" he played just now was produced by Huozhu Company.

The slogan of Huozhu Company is to make the scariest horror game.They started out making horror games, and they are still making horror games now. Every game has a word "creepy" on it, which is also the most distinctive feature.

Like "Strange Apartment", "Strange Hospital", "Strange Graveyard"...

Each game has sold more than one million copies, and the most famous "Crazy Hospital" has sold more than 400 million copies. In the category of horror games, it is considered a very remarkable achievement.

"What do you think of "Strange Hospital"?"

Bai Liao shuddered, and said without hesitation: "It's terrifying! Wow, just thinking about that ghost's bloody face makes my little heart skip a beat!"

Wang Jian chuckled: "I said what if we make a game that is ten times more terrifying?"

Bai Liao fell into a state of bewilderment.

Ten times more terrifying?
I can't imagine it!
