Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Looking at the NPC in front of him, Song Ren hesitated a little.

The plot of the game is immersed in a sense of substitution. How can Geralt, the white wolf, who is a witcher at this time, learn to play cards?

Think about your old lover Yennefer, her safety is still unclear now!

There is also Ciri, although not much content has been revealed in the game so far, only a short training plot in Kaer Morhen.

Including Mr. Vesemir, he is still waiting for you, White Wolf, to investigate the information and then set out together to find Yennefer's traces!

But it stands to reason that Yennefer, as a powerful sorceress, should have some ability to protect herself.

Xili has been missing for such a long time, and it is probably not less than this time and a half.

There are also the villagers in Baiguoyuan who are threatened by griffins, which is actually not a big problem.

Princess Zelda on the Hyrule continent in his hands has not yet been rescued from Ganon.

Moreover, the description of Gwent by the war scholar in front of him really made Song Ren very curious.

Because according to the other party's description, this is a very popular game in the wizarding world.

Not only Nilfgaard, but also Redania, which is at war with Nilfgaard in the north, compared to the neutral Novigrad, and even the destroyed Temeria, this card game is very Popular, some cards are even very expensive.

It can be said that people from all walks of life, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, can play Gwent.

Such a description aroused Song Ren's curiosity. What kind of magic does this little card game have?

So, he decided to give it a try first.

As the game started, Song Ren quickly understood the rules of this card game through a simple description.

It's not difficult, at least it's much simpler than Landlords.

To put it simply, it's a competition of points, and Tian Ji's horse racing is the best of three games.

Before the game starts, players can build a deck and choose their respective leader commanders. Each commander of a different camp has its own unique special effects, such as changing weather effects or re-changing cards.

Before the game starts, players need to draw 10 cards from the deck. These are the cards used throughout the game.

Soldier cards in the game are divided into soldiers, archers and engineering weapons. Simply put, they are the front row, middle row and back row.

In addition, there are weather cards. Different weather cards can reduce the attack value of cards with different attributes.

For example, snowy weather will affect soldiers, and heavy rain will affect siege weapons.

In addition, some soldier cards themselves may have some special skills.

"It's a bit interesting!" The rules of Gwent are not complicated. You can understand it after just looking at Song Ren.

Adhering to Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, the scholar in front of him did not pose much of a threat to Song Ren, with a clean score of two to zero.

Obtained a card from the opponent and a manual on Gwent card collection, recording the number of Gwent cards that can be collected in different maps.

And he also received a task to find someone to play cards with.

Now he finally understands why the store owner sells Gwent cards.

"I wonder if the landlady can play cards. Let's play cards. If I win, you can sell me the cards in the store." Song Ren did not rush to find Mr. Vesemir to trigger the plot, but came to the landlady. .

But what disappoints Song Ren is that the proprietress does not have the option to play cards. Obviously, this is not an object for players to play mini-games.

"Forget it, let's go on the mission first." Song Ren sighed, a little disappointed. He had just learned how to play cards and was going to play with others. Moreover, judging from the introduction, it seemed that he could also win gold coins or items. This was What a great way to make money!

Song Ren threw some of the things he thought were useless to the proprietress, and then bought all the cards he could afford in the proprietress' shop.

If you want to win against others, you have to sharpen the cards in your hand!

After going around the hotel, Song Ren unfortunately couldn't find a second partner to play cards with, so he could only restart the main plot mission.

After getting rid of three drunken villagers who were looking for trouble, Song Ren was also preparing to control Geralt to the Nilfgaardian garrison to inquire about Yennefer.

But along the way, Song Ren also did some side tasks.

It has to be said that Song Ren found that there was not much content to explore on the map of this game.

Obviously Baiguoyuan is a novice village, but when you open the map, you can see many question marks that can be explored.

Of course, if there are just a lot of question marks, that's actually not a good thing, but the key is that Song Ren found that these side tasks that represent question marks in the game are very rich and excellent.

The first is a mission about a dwarf blacksmith who entrusts a witcher to investigate the truth after his house was burned down.

As for the process of completing the mission, it feels like a detective mode, turning on the demon hunter's vision, looking for clues that ordinary people can't see, and finally finding the real murderer.

There isn't much to write home about in the process, but what Song Ren cares about is the choice of tasks.

When you find the murderer, you will find that he is just an ordinary farmer who had these thoughts because he was jealous of the blacksmith's talent and because the blacksmith sold weapons to the Nilfgaardian invaders.

The other party's mother had just passed away and left him some inheritance, and he would offer to use these things to bribe Geralt.

At this time, players will have two options, hand him over or conceal the results of the investigation.

After handing him over, the other party will be executed directly.

In addition to other side tasks, some are actually linked to the main line and are connected in series with each other.

In order to find traces of Yennefer, Geralt went to the garrison in Nilfgaard, but the other party asked Geralt to get rid of the injured griffon and then tell him the news about Yennefer.

In this mission, Geralt will encounter a hunter who was exiled by the lord.

Through dialogue he will tell Geralt that he fell in love with the son of the former lord.

But later the news spread that the lord's son couldn't bear the gossip and hanged himself, and he was also exiled by the lord.

This story didn't bother Song Renduo, but soon he discovered something while completing a mission called The Devil in the Well in a burned-out village south of Baiguoyuan.

This burned-out village was founded by a couple who once lived under the rule of the previous lord of White Orchard. However, they later had a dispute with the lord and then led their family to move into the forest of White Orchard to open up a new one. settlement.

And it was approved by the Vizima Court of Lower Temeria at that time, which also attracted many residents who were originally White Orchard to join.

The lord of White Orchard felt that the matter was getting a bit big, so he sent his entourage there to persuade them to return to White Orchard.

At first, they wanted to talk nicely, without violence or bloodshed, but the other party mentioned the conversation about the lord's dead son, so the lord ordered everyone in the village to be killed, and the woman was hanged in the well, and finally let It became a day demon.

This moment made Song Ren feel the reality of this world.

These NPCs live in the same area. It’s not that I don’t know you and you don’t know me. They also have close interactions with each other.

Of course, what made Song Ren's memory so profound was that when he first saw this day demon spirit, he was beaten violently.

It wasn't until he discovered that there was a monster illustration in the game, which mentioned how to deal with the day monsters, that he needed to use 'Evil Spirit Oil' or place the Seal of Arden, that he could successfully defeat them, including later on when he attacked the Griffins. The same is true.

But what struck Song Ren the most was that it seems that in the game "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", it is difficult to tell who is the good guy and who is the bad guy.

For example, the Nilfgaardian chief who asked Geralt to conquer the griffons initially collected grain from the local villagers. After asking how much grain they could provide, he proactively reduced the amount by a quarter.

But in the end, the villagers provided spoiled food and were punished according to military regulations.

Judging from these, it seems that the villagers regarded the chief's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.

But think about it from another angle. This land once belonged to Temeria, and Nilfgaard belonged to the invaders.

It seems that it is not difficult to understand why the villagers behaved like this.

Of course, in addition to these plots that made Song Ren feel embarrassed, there was another thing that Song Ren was more concerned about, and that was the previous Gwent mini-game. He had talked to all the NPCs in the White Orchard, except for the scholar. But no one who could play cards was found.

Does this mean that he became the strongest poker player in Baiguoyuan without realizing it?

But a game hasn’t been played yet!

You showed him a tutorial and told him how to play cards, which aroused his curiosity, but you didn't give him a partner to join forces with. How irritating is this!
