MTL - I Develop Battlefield To Drive Global Players Crazy-Chapter 222

In the conference room, Ruan Xue and Yang Xin and other core members of the one-vote development team were quite excited.

On the one hand, it is because of the first time trying a horror game, and on the other hand, it is because of the excitement of participating in the next-generation VR.

As a game practitioner, everyone wants to use the top technology to make the top game.

Especially their Nebula Games, which can be said to be the representatives of the world's top technology manufacturers.

Despite evidence from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, Nebula Games is more than just an industrial game.

The concept and gameplay are also gods, but after all, the series of "Red Dead Redemption", "Call of Duty" and "Grand Theft Auto" have far-reaching influence.

............

"By the way, what kind of story is Mr. Chen's horror-themed DEMO telling?"

Thinking of something, Yang Xin asked Chen Xu.

Judging from the setting of the plan, as the chief screenwriter and task supervisor of Nebula Games, she can clearly feel that this is not a demo that fades out of your test, at least there is a self-consistent point in the background story.

"Background story... Well, a story related to family ethics." Chen Xu thought about it, and then came up with a more appropriate description.

"Mr. Chen, I don't read much, don't lie to me!" Yang Xin was speechless, looking at the sketch on the screen.

One eye is missing, the other eye is rolled over, a female ghost with blood stained face and yellow teeth.

And from the perspective of the game settings, except for a baby, this DEMO has a total of protagonists and female ghosts. Can it become family ethics?

However, Yang Xin also had to admit that in terms of visual performance, this female ghost is indeed quite infiltrating.

It is very suitable for horror games. After all, horror games, if the monsters in it are inadvertent.

Instead, she became a tall, sexy, and seductive beautiful woman.

So where is this horror game? At that time, I am afraid that if the player is more courageous, she will be able to make her a maternity leave.

Chapter 320 Infinite Corridor, Perfect DEMO

After the meeting, Chen Xu, Qin Yi, Yang Xin and other front-line core development teams closely started the content production of "Silent Hill PT".

It's not a lot of work and it's not complicated.

The whole game is in a fixed scene. What changes is the atmosphere, color of the scene, and the performance of small items such as photos and glass.

And there is no need to consider the gameplay system or anything, for Chen Xu and his team.

The most critical point is how to create the most immersive experience.

It is the most critical place to use all the functions of the VR game warehouse in this era.

"In the game, the player's breathing when walking must be obvious, and the motor vibration of the VR game compartment can properly simulate the "six, three, three" feeling of oppression"

"Well... the scene where Lisa just appeared is too bright, and the player needs to be able to see her outline, but not her face."

"It is to have a feeling of holding the pipa half-covered, with a sense of mystery, so that when the player looks back and realizes that Lisa is rushing, they can feel the thumping, just like a deer breaking into the heart and being rammed. that feeling.”

In the project room, Chen Xu instructed Ruan Xue and Qin Yi to modify some scene light sources and colors.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, the two of them wanted to stop talking.

This is a deer ramming, this is a crazy elephant breaking into the heart!

"Mr. Chen, the scene has been tested here, and there is no problem." Yang Xin came out of the game room and hurriedly found a stool to sit down.

There was no way her legs were a little soft, and there were two other employees following her.

Although it is used to provide the midstream VR side for testing.

But in fact, the first wave of tests were conducted by the first-line developers of their Nebula games.

After all, in the development process, they also need to see how the effect presented in the game is.

Of course what they experienced was not the full version.

If you experience the shaping of the environment in the game, you will not add the scary scene of the female ghost Lisa.

At the same time, they also specially developed and opened a port to allow multiple people to enter the game scene.

When several people tested it together, the fear was greatly reduced.

After all, what they want to feel is not how scary the game is, but whether the various functions and settings meet their requirements.

But even so, it still made them panic.

This actual process, which is only about twenty or thirty minutes of DEMO, can only be described as terrible.

Especially the decrypted content is quite difficult.

All clues are buried in photo fragments collectible in the game.

If there is no way to understand the content of this information, then the player can only fall into the endless cycle of reincarnation in this weird room corridor.

"It's so frustrating!" Yang Xin took a sip of water to ease his emotions.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Ruan Xue said next to him.

"Are you going to experience it too?" Yang Xin said maliciously.

"No!" Ruan Xue made a stop gesture and decisively refused.

"If it is really launched for players, then this horror game will definitely be a lore in terms of fear and level shaping!" Yang Xin sighed with emotion.

Listening to Yang Xin's words, Chen Xu next to him smiled and said nothing.

In the past life, many players, including those in the game industry, were lamenting that "Silent Hill PT" was a masterpiece that died prematurely.

The main reason is that players who like horror games were conquered by the playable DEMO "Silent Hill PT" at that time.

The full version is unknown.

It may be that it is not at the level of DEMO at all, or it may be that the level is still the same, and it has become a monument in the history of horror games.

But as far as demo demo is concerned, its quality can only be described in four words impeccable.

Because it does almost everything it should do to perfection.

On the map design, the sense of space occupancy brought by the infinite corridors, using the player to push and experience the psychology of the plot to make the players move forward, and then use the darkness and endless corridors to occupy the visual space......

Although the whole scene has only one corridor from beginning to end, it gives players endless oppression.

Many of the latter types of games have similar designs, such as Biochemical 7, etc., although the makers of these games have publicly stated that they were not inspired by "Silent Hill PT".

But it is undeniable that these games were launched after it, and there was more than a year in between.

In addition to the colors created in this DEMO.

Whether it's a horror movie or a horror game, color is always a top priority.

In PT, a very unique warm and pale tone was used. More than 80% of the scenes in the entire DEMO process were built with warm colors, except for the dim room that woke up at the beginning.

The entire cloister uses yellow, brown, red, dark green and other tones to match, but the expression of the light source is more inclined to cool colors, and some bluish incandescent lamps are selected.

What's more terrible is that it is obviously a very dazzling incandescent lamp, but the illumination range is less than a few meters.

This strong contrast brings a kind of cold violence and loneliness.

Unable to vent, unable to tell, unable to express, all kinds of emotions mixed together, making the overall sense of terror rise to a higher level.

Finally, there is the sense of unknown.

The baby crying 1.5, the footsteps that follow, the dead corridor, everything implies that you are in this corridor, and you are not alone.

There is only one female ghost in the same place as you.

This is also the scariest place in the game.

You don't need to come out all the time to scare you, when you see a female ghost, there is a high probability that your life will be lost.

It is this sense of unknown that may appear at any time by female ghosts, which constitutes the most terrifying psychological suggestion of the game.

Makes you suspicious, feeling that every action you make may lead to bad consequences.

All the content is a routine that can be followed in various horror games, horror movies and novels and comics.

But in PT, it was perfectly blended together.

Chapter 321 Would you like some high-energy underworld scenes? begging!

The research and development department of midstream VR.

Chen Xu also brought Qin Yi and the already developed "Silent Hill PT" for testing.

After all, he was very curious about the effect of the finished product, as well as the testing process.

"It's over so soon?"

"Mr. Chen, your speed."

"What type of horror genre is Chen always?"

Coming to the R&D department of midstream VR is not just the R&D personnel of the other party.

There are also some game designers who came here on a special trip to get the news.

They are also cooperating with midstream VR to develop their own test sketches.

There are also some horror themes.

But there is no doubt that Nebula Games is clearly the fastest.

For them, they also want to see the performance that can be presented on VR in this era.

18 After all, one is the top platform at present, and the other is the top game developer in the world.

The collision between the two is definitely the top level at present.

"At that time, everyone will be clear."

"The main reason is that the game is relatively special, and the size is not very large, and this is my first time getting involved in the horror genre." Chen Xu didn't brag, but explained with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, you are too modest. Although Nebula Games has never developed horror games, the atmosphere in "Dark Soul" and "Ayrden Circle" is created, and many maps are completely no different from horror games. !"

The surrounding designers, obviously very understanding, laughed and said.

As for the designers in the industry on Chen Xu's side, each of them is doing business with each other at the same time,

The midstream VR R&D department over there, the staff preparing for the test are also discussing.

One device, three testers who took turns testing, and the three testers also chatted.

"Good guy, Nebula Games is worthy of being a fast shooter. In the past, the efficiency of the game was very high, and now it is the first to do this test DEMO." As a tough guy who looks very powerful at 1.85 meters, Song Cheng sighed with emotion. road.

"It's a pity that you came out on top. Don't spoil it when you finish your experience later!" The two colleagues next to him said regretfully. They both lost in the game where the heads and tails of the coins decided who came first.

They are also handpicked as those who test security.

"That's right, don't be scared to pee later. I heard that the old thief did something horrible this time."

The three are usually game fans, and naturally know a lot about Nebula games.

"Hehe, scaring urine? It doesn't exist, and it's not the first time to test it, and we are still testing the feedback from the VR game room more. When the second round of random testing is over, it will be the stage of the security alarm system. "Song Cheng chuckled.

"That's not necessarily true, this is an old thief!" Another person said, obviously a loyal fan of Chen Xu, and he had confidence in him.

"I know that you are a big fan of the old thief, but you still have to be reasonable. The old thief is very good at making games, but the scary part of horror games is not about designing plots, levels and gameplay." Song Cheng waved his hand.

"I think it's the kind of "Dark Soul" and "Ayrden's Circle". The sound and picture that suddenly appear in the dark environment will surprise me at most." Song Cheng said with a smile. .

"Which one of the three of you will come to test first?" The three people here were chatting, and the employees of Midstream VR, who were ready to ensure safety, also shouted at the three of them.

"I'll come first!" Song Cheng said as he walked over and handed the report of the previous medical examination to the other party.

This is also a must for testing, including a series of blood pressure and so on, with strict standards.

After the inspection, Song Cheng also put on the VR equipment, and then lay down in the midstream VR game warehouse.

...

It is a dark picture when you enter your eyes, there is no sound in your ears, and it feels like a dead silence.

At the same time, Song Cheng, who was lying in the VR warehouse, only felt a chilly cold air coming from all directions.

This is the temperature system that comes with the VR game compartment. Of course, players can also choose to turn it on or off.

Or keep it constant at a certain temperature as an air conditioner.

This is a normal function, after all, if there is no such thing.

In summer, even in an air-conditioned room, this semi-closed game room can make players sweat.
