Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

After finalizing the development plan for "Xenoblade Chronicles", Chen Xu himself also has a lot of work to do.

For example, the soundtrack in the game, after all, the soundtrack in the previous life is too classic.

Especially with the sound of Counterattack, it makes people even more excited and get goosebumps.

There are also some detailed system settings, such as the mercenary system in the game. This system is actually a small placement game, mainly to allow players to cultivate the bond of the blade.

Because each blade in the game has different bonds, it would be very painful if the player had to do it all manually.

In the game settings, a special blade named Qibing will be added. Her mission time can be compressed to a minimum of 8 minutes of cooling, thereby quickly completing the bonding conditions of other blades. She is commonly known as Miss Qibing. Walk the dog.

But originally, the mercenary group required players to manually open and accept manual closing to complete the mission, which can be said to be very cumbersome.

So in this area, Chen Xu will also make some special optimizations, such as loop mode.

After players have formulated the corresponding mercenary lineup, they can automatically receive it without making manual adjustments.

Of course, there is another very important point, which is the PV of the game.

The game can be developed slowly, but the promotional video cannot be delayed.

………………

The popularity of "Silent Hill" on the Internet is running low, although it has frightened many players.

But I have to say that the rewards are still very attractive. There are still a large number of players who endured the discomfort, successfully passed the level and obtained the right to purchase Nebula game coupons.

After purchasing the redemption coupons, for many players, they are naturally concerned about the new games of Nebula Games.

After all, for old games, those that can be released have basically been released, so the target of the redemption coupon is very clear, which is the subsequent masterpiece released by Nebula Games.

Many players are still very confident in this area. The only point that players are concerned about is the type of masterpieces that Nebula Games will launch in the future.

Open worlds and ARPGs like "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" and "Red Dead Redemption", or FPSs like "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", or cinematic narrative games like "The Last of Us" and "Uncharted".

Every player has their own favorite genre, and naturally they all hope that Nebula Games can launch their favorite genre.

For this reason, players are also arguing online.

It seems that the players' requests have been heard before the relevant topic has fermented.

Something that surprised many players happened, that is, Chen Xu released a promotional video for the new game!

Of course, what surprises players even more is the content shown in this promotional video.

At the beginning of the promotional video, a beautiful red-haired girl and a cute shota in salvage clothes are sitting in front of a fire.

‘As long as the core exists, the life of the Blade is eternal. ’

‘If you have to continue to feel pain in eternal life because of memory. ’

'I think it might be a blessing to be able to forget. ’

Accompanied by the firelight, the camera slowly zooms towards the star-studded sky.

The next second the camera switched to a basement, and characters similar to squirrels and mecha girls appeared in the camera, fighting powerful enemies.

‘For the Blade, the memories with the Blade Master must be very precious! ’

Continuous camera switching, white tiger, catwoman, young man with eye patch, noble man in formal dress...

‘The eldest lady is the only blade wielder who can synchronize with me. ’

‘People will never forget, how could they forget? ’

On the endless wilderness, two beautiful girls with red hair and blond hair, like a pair of sisters, handed their hands to the boy.

'We have to go there, with Lex! ’

After a series of battles, Lex and his companions were defeated step by step.

‘The blade only lasts for an instant, and the memory will disappear after it returns to its core. ’

‘The more we fight, the more Homura and Hikaru will be hurt. Rather than doing this, it’s better not to stay around people like me. ’

………

'We met Lex and everyone and it was the best memory. ’

‘This is our agreement, I will go to paradise for you! What are you born for? How will our future develop with you? ’

‘We’re going to make a lot of memories! ’

There were continuous battles and exciting music, but after the darkness, there was a painful expression on Homura's face.

'stop! Don't take away my memories! ’

'flame! ’

With Lex's desperate voice, the crystal symbolizing the Holy Grail of Heaven fell to the ground, dimmed.

……………………

After watching the entire promotional trailer, for players who are familiar with Nebula games, it can be said that they were directly struck by lightning. They subconsciously looked at the date and confirmed that today is not April Fools' Day.

Because the art style is really too anime-oriented, or rather otaku-oriented.

If we talk about cartoon style, this is not the first time that Nebula Games has done it, such as "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", "Super Mario: Odyssey", "Two Players", etc., whether it is a realistic cartoon or anything else, it is involved .

But like this new work called "Xenoblade Chronicles", the style has completely changed!

Even if it hadn't been clearly stated later that this was a game, many players would have felt that this was Nebula Games preparing to make a series.

What? Are you saying you are not doing your job properly?

What about the animation company that was delayed by the game that is making trouble with you?

The previous "DOTA" filmed Dragon's Blood, and now the second season is about to be launched. It is not impossible to make a brand new series at this time.

Of course, except for "Xenoblade Chronicles", which changed the previous art style of Nebula Games and suddenly rushed in the direction of animation.

What makes players even more concerned is the content shown in the promotional trailer.

I won’t talk about the background settings of the Blade Master and the Different Blades, and I won’t talk about the gameplay for the time being.

But the plot of just a few words made many players' hearts tremble.

Because this feels so damn like a tragedy!

"I have to say, I'm so excited about the art in this new game! But why does it feel like a tragedy to me?"

"+1! You are not the only one who thinks that the Blades and Blades have turned into core crystals and lost their memory, and that they are getting more and more injured when going to the paradise and fighting. This is so pure!"

"Why does everyone think it will be a tragedy? Maybe there will be a reversal?"

"If it were another game company, I think there is a high probability, but this is Mr. Chen!"

"That's not necessarily the case. Didn't Mr. Chen often do things that led us to misunderstand him?"

"Haha, that's because I want to trick you into killing you! And Mr. Chen hasn't done this kind of thing in the past two years. After all, Mr. Chen also knows that his image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now it's not unreasonable to just put this promotional video to waste. possible!"

"You're right!"

………………

Inside the office.

"Mr. Chen, this promotional video is too misleading!" Yang Xin was speechless as he looked at the comments from online players.

As for the plot, although "Xenoblade Chronicles" has some twists in Yang Xin's opinion, it is actually more like a fairy tale.

A young man meets a young girl and heads to the paradise without risking his own life. This is a standard royal and passionate story.

There is no need to worry about whether it is reasonable or not, just treat it as watching a TV series and be done with it.

And the game has an unexpected and sweet ending. It seems that this time it is really prepared to let players understand that their beloved Chen can actually become a real "love warrior" and warm people's hearts.

But the key is that the direction of this promotional video is completely different from the story and is full of misleading.

"If I tell the players, this will really be a heart-warming story. What do you think the players will think?" Chen Xu chuckled.

"Hmm... There is a high probability that players will default to it as a tragedy, right?" Yang Xin thought about Chen Xu's image in the minds of players and said.

"So, now I am giving players the illusion that I have screwed up. When the players find out that this is different from what they thought, how many extra surprises will they get? And that feeling of guilt for misunderstanding me, maybe all of a sudden It changed my impression in their minds." Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, I think this surprise is possible, but this label... ahem, Mr. Chen, don't have any illusions of luck." Yang Xin coughed twice.

Chen Xu's face darkened, he looked at Yang Xin who was suppressing a smile, raised his finger and pointed at the work station next to him: "You are the only one who talks a lot! Go to work!"
