Chapter 85 Dream Linkage
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Pu Xingyu looked at the nun on his screen, whose head tilted and died completely. He was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
After the development of "Darkest Dungeon" was completed, the entire development team took a paid leave for one month.
Some people go out to travel, take photos and post them on WeChat Moments, and envious friends don’t want to take them away.
Some people took this opportunity to pursue girls while the iron was hot, and now they are showing off pictures of holding hands.
Others are deaf to what is going on outside the window and stay at home playing games and watching TV shows all day long.
For example...Pu Xingyu.
It seems like I'm back to the second semester of my senior year when I don't plan to take the postgraduate or public exams. Every day is as refreshing as the Chinese New Year.
However, this refreshing feeling ended when Pu Xingyu opened his home-made game "Dark Dungeon".
Although he had an idea of the particularly disgusting mechanics in the game during development, he was still stimulated after actually playing the game.
A huge problem immediately loomed in front of us.
"Should I destroy mods that disrupt the balance of the game?"
He has also read the recent announcements about Darkest Dungeon. Naturally, he knows that a hundred flowers are blooming in the Creative Workshop, and he is also very happy about the increase in ratings.
After calming down for a long time with the funny pillow in his arms, Pu Xingyu decided to become a hardcore gamer, but put the game down for now and wait until he thinks about it in half a year.
With an idea in his mind, Pu Xingyu's mood improved a lot.
What an empty holiday...
Pu Xingyu was bored and started to use a series of game-related communication platforms such as Tieba, Bihu, and Big Black Box.
And under the influence of big data, a series of discussions related to "Original Inspiration", "Ori", "Mirror" and "Darkest Dungeon" were quickly exposed.
Of course, in Pu Xingyu's own words, he is constantly monitoring market trends.
Looking at it, he really found something that could help him get rid of the boring vacation.
"I'm an old fan of Mr. Luo. I played Mirror when it first came out. I also like Ori, but I really don't like Darkest Dungeon.
But seeing a lot of discussion about this game in the gaming community, I really want to play it, which is annoying. ”
"There is really no movement towards mirror DLC at all. It would be great if someone could give mirror some DLC that we made ourselves in the creative workshop."
"As for the artist of Mirror, it's not that there's nothing in the creative workshop, it's that people really have to compare themselves to each other, and they have to throw away goods when comparing goods."
"Look-control players are furious. The art of Darkest Dungeon is not bad, but it's really not what I want."
As a planner, understanding market demand is one of Pu Xingyu's current jobs.
A considerable number of face-conscious players are not interested in the current Gothic style. Can we start from the creative workshop and give everyone some tips on how to go into the dungeon of the Paper Man girl?
As one of the developers of "Darkest Dungeon", it is really easy to change the textures of the heroes in the game.
In terms of art, Pu Xingyu himself cannot draw.
But it doesn’t matter, he can’t do it, someone can.
Pu Xingyu took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the person signed "Sister Fei" on the phone.
"Sister Fei, what are you doing recently?"
"No, but I'd like to."
Pu Xingyu:?
He blushed, and when the female driver from the art team started driving, he felt overwhelmed.
"Sister Fei, let's talk about business." "I'm talking about business."
"..."
"Okay, no more joking, just tell me if you have anything to say. I'm free recently."
Seeing that the topic was finally back on track, Pu Xingyu wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead and typed carefully:
"Sister Fei, hasn't the creative workshop recently solved the problem that many players think the game is too difficult? I have been browsing the forum in the past two days and saw that some players are not able to accept the Gothic style of the dungeon. They prefer The kind of Ori that looks better
So I was wondering if I could make a mod like a hero skin to attract as many players as possible. ”
"As expected of Mr. Luo's right-hand man, you are here as a coolie, right? Xiao Xiaoyu."
"Sister Fei, Mr. Luo doesn't know about this. If you are busy, I will find someone else."
"I'm just joking with you. Mr. Luo treats me well. Even if I have something to do, I must do it first."
Then everything is ready, Pu Xingyu silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
But Qian Fei's next operation was indeed for Pu Xingyu. She first sent her location, and then:
"Come here, let's talk in detail."
Although he was half expecting and half uneasy, after Pu Xingyu arrived at Qian Fei's nest, nothing happened as he imagined.
Qian Fei was wearing homely clothes today, with a ponytail tied behind her head.
After Pu Xingyu told her in detail his inner thoughts.
Sitting at the table, Qian Fei's eyes were very focused. With just a few strokes, he used a pencil to outline a cartoon character with a strong dungeon flavor.
"Look at this."
Pu Xingyu took the drawing from Qian Fei's hand, and what appeared in Qian Fei's painting was a girly version of Disma.
Big and white, with exaggerated body proportions, and the posture of holding a weapon is also quite realistic.
nice!
This was the first thought that came to Pu Xingyu's mind. It could certainly be done to attract players, but Pu Xingyu was still not sure whether it could achieve a very good effect.
After a moment of silence, Pu Xingyu raised his head, looked at Qian Fei in front of him, and asked hesitantly:
"Sister Fei, have you ever played mirror?"
Seeing Qian Fei's teasing eyes, Pu Xingyu just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. Taishe was dead!
However, this look only lasted for a moment. Qian Fei just thought for a moment and said:
"I see what you mean."
With just a few strokes, an image with long ears and an explosive figure once again appeared in Qian Fei's writing.
Only this time, Qian Fei specially used pencil to paint the character's skin gray.
Dark Elf!
Although the scale needs to be adjusted in order to fit the basic style of the dungeon itself and the characters are reduced in size, anyone who has played Mirror can tell at a glance that it is a dark elf.
However, the dark elf at this time is different from the original assassin-like equipment. Instead, it holds a knife and a gun, and the character's posture is exactly the same as the image of Disma in the dungeon.
"Fantasy linkage! Players will definitely like this!"
Pu Xingyu said excitedly.
Looking at the dark elf Disma written by Qian Fei, Pu Xingyu had ideas such as Yangzi crossbowman, female warrior Leonard, and female pharaoh mystical scholar in his mind.
In the heated discussion between the two, ideas were implemented one by one, and finally they came together to form a mod that was destined to sweep everything in the Dark Dungeon Creative Workshop.
"mirror"!
