Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Accompanied by the "Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" promotional video.

More and more players are discussing with forums in various communities.

For gamers, any topic that can spark some debate will be something they are scrambling to discuss.

It can be said that the players are a very persistent group, and the players can explain any small details.

About the same as when you were doing reading comprehension in junior high school, one punctuation mark and one Chinese character can analyze a small composition of hundreds of words.

And as the scope of the discussion expands, it's not even limited to the player base.

Including some language professionals also joined in the fun.

After all, linguistics is a relatively unpopular direction, and most people probably don't even know there is such a subject.

Moreover, the dragon language in "The Elder Scrolls" does have some related meanings. Adding in the popularity of Nebula games, it is not too surprising.

'Obviously the dragon language in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is a fictional language, but from what is currently displayed, it should be a reference to the Germanic language. ’

'kell's re-examination form is kelle, which is more common in Germanic, and the combination of dov and k can just form the dovahki mentioned in the video, which is the dragonborn, where k is the tribe in English. ’

As more and more analysis appeared, countless players were also stunned.

Is there really some talk about co-authoring?

Question about the language in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.

It quickly became a mainstream hot topic.

After all, a language has been created, which is really curious.

Of course, this is also "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" and there is really no other content for players to discuss.

Although the promotional videos and materials make players feel that the background setting of the game is quite grand, it is still difficult to analyze how to rely on a promotional video.

However, the song of the Dragonborn in the promotional film, combined with the lines of this dragon language, obviously has more directions and gimmicks that can be discussed.

‘Why is it so simple to create a language? And this is just a promotional trailer. ’

'That's right, what can be seen from a promotional trailer? ’

‘Haha, didn’t you read the professor’s reprint on the official blog not long ago? Are experts in linguistics better than your keyboard warrior? ’

‘It’s just that you know so well, why didn’t you become a professor? ’

‘Fuck, you just look at the front and not the back. The key to language is not difficult to recognize, and completeness. Take it out of context, right? ’

In the major community websites, there are players exploring, of course, all kinds of quarrels.

Including the Nebula game, Chen Xu was a little surprised when he watched all kinds of debates on the Internet.

The promotional video of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is to warm up the game.

There is nothing to say about this piece, but what surprised Chen Xu was that the players' attention was actually attracted by the dragon language in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

Linguistically speaking, the dragon language in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is not a random fabrication.

But there is still no way to make large paragraphs.

The Quenya language created by Tolkien in the previous life and the Klingon language of Star Trek still lack some flavor.

But compared to "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", there is no problem with some basic structures.

"But I can do some articles on the promotion." Looking at the heated discussion among online players, and at the same time seeing Atari's previous advertisement for a new product, Chen Xu couldn't help but smiled, and called the person in charge of the marketing department. I came over, and after talking for about twenty minutes, I sent an official blog.

Soon, players who were still discussing topics related to dragon language on the Internet found this new content updated on Chen Xu's official blog.

'About the dragon language, it did draw lessons from languages ​​such as Finnish, Germanic and cuneiform, and while creating the dragon language, many linguistics professors were invited as consultants. The 26 standard Latin letters are not the same, and there are 34 letters in the Dragon language. ’

'Among them, 25 single sounds and 9 accents constitute the pronunciation of the Dragon language, and the characters of the Dragon language are all three strokes, borrowing from the ancient cuneiform script. ’

'But the so-called dragon language is only a virtual language for game design, and it is far from being an independent language category. ’

'In addition, all of them are in the game, players can learn more about the dragon language through the game content, and in the game we will add some unique dungeons, the dungeons related to the dragon language, the game will There is a dedicated Dragon language challenge quest that includes elements of puzzle solving. ’

"In addition, when "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is launched, the first player to complete the decryption will receive a reward of 300,000 US dollars. ’

'In addition, in the game, we have also added a large number of random dragon language easter eggs that can be explored and collected. The top ten players who first uncover the easter eggs will receive a VR game warehouse as a reward, and the top 1000 players will receive a 299 yuan Nebula game. A voucher. ’

'Finally, I will attach a study table related to the dragon language for everyone. ’

With the release of Chen Xu's official blog, it instantly attracted the attention of countless players.

On the one hand, Chen Xu admitted one thing about Longyu, and on the other hand, Nebula Games is planning to add corresponding levels to the game.

A fixed challenge quest about the dragon language, the first player to clear the level will also receive a reward of 300,000 US dollars?

There are also dragon-language easter eggs with non-fixed random distribution.

This has attracted the attention of many players.

On the one hand, the rewards of the event are really rich, and on the other hand, it is a momentum played by Dragon Language.

In an instant, related entries such as "The Elder Scrolls" and "Dragon Language" directly occupied the hot headlines.

At the same time, it was originally planned to be launched in this schedule, but because "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" turned out, and in the Atari conference room where the decision was made to bounce the ticket, the relevant personnel saw the news of the online Nebula game, and suddenly the corners of their mouths twitched. .

There are prizes for clearing and solving puzzles. Why is this set so familiar?

Isn't this the first sword-hunting event that Atari held when they developed "Elemental World" to compete with "Uncharted"?

And why are you so popular and so hard-core?

Playing a game requires learning language, and it is also a virtual language!

Looking at countless players on the Internet discussing topics related to the dragon language of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

Some people even started live broadcasts to learn the Dragon language.

Not only Atari, but other game makers felt a bit of a daze.

Nebula Games, this always gives them a new twist!
