Chapter 66 Surprise
For Lin Yuan, playing games is a reward for himself, and watching the players’ reactions is also a reward for himself.
One game, two enjoyments, there really is no happier thing than this.
Especially horror games, which torture players to death through various mechanisms, which is an enjoyment comparable to top-notch gourmet food.
In a sense, game producers who make horror games have the potential to become magic monks.
While listening to the lecture, Lin Yuan continued to perfect the image of the monster in the game on paper, but he was not particularly satisfied several times.
Fortunately, according to his idea, the effect is best if the monster appears, and there are ways to make up for it if the monster does not appear.
Games are the art of expression, but making games is the art of compromise.
In horror games, monsters are a conceptual existence. They can symbolize an inescapable influence or an inevitable death.
How to use the game's mechanics and atmosphere to highlight its existence is the goal that horror games need to achieve.
Based on this principle, even if no monster appears, the presence of the monster can be highlighted through the atmosphere.
Put away the monster settings for the time being, and Lin Yuan continues to conceive of gameplay.
Limited by the space capacity of bamboo slips, magic resources must be limited within a certain range.
And he has finally been promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he wants to practice some new techniques as soon as possible, so the demand for this scene is even higher.
After thinking for a long time, his thoughts finally settled on a game type:
Infinite Corridor is the famous PT game.
This type of game usually starts with a room, and after the protagonist wakes up, he falls into an endless loop of corridors. The road back was locked, and all he could do was to keep going down, exploring this infinite corridor, looking for a way to leave.
The corridors here are endless loops, but every time you explore, there will be slight differences and various supernatural events.
They're not dangerous, but they can be creepy.
The psychological fear created in this way will continue to invade like darkness, eating away at the player's sanity, making the player continue to sink into this dark space.
As long as you fall into it for more than ten minutes, you will realize that the exit does not exist. The hope of escaping from this place gradually dissipates in the long journey, but there is always a trace of undetectable hope, which leads the player to continue to sink deeper. Witnessing scarier things.
Behind this glimmer of hope is actually bottomless despair, like a bait that drags people into the abyss.
The resources represented by the infinite corridor can be reused in large quantities. The first-person perspective eliminates the need to design the protagonist's image. In some places, emotional rendering can be completed by changing the color of the filter. Various small techniques can make the game more interesting. It is very rich, and at the same time, the capacity can be controlled within a certain range.
During class, Lin Yuan laid a good foundation for the game. After returning home, he didn’t even go to the barbecue party. He just turned on the magical power of time to play games, and the more he played, the happier he became.
The newly learned techniques became more and more proficient in the application during this process, and his improved understanding of the bamboo slips allowed him to further squeeze the functions of the bamboo slips to show better effects.
This feeling of constantly improving one's own abilities in practice and clearly realizing that one is improving is really amazing!
Lin Yuan, who fell into a state of flow, burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm and poured his inspiration into the game crazily, making the game gradually complete.
After the game was finally completed, Lin Yuan looked at his game with ten or even nine points of satisfaction.
But then a new question arises: Should this game have a simple mode?
The game is used to complete your own magic door KPI, so it is best only for monks to play.
But both mortals and monks exist in the Artifact Refining Pavilion, so this game will definitely be obtained by mortals and played.
Monks may be frightened when exposed to the game, and mortals whose souls are not strong enough will only be frightened even worse.
It would not be good if this causes problems. After all, as an undercover agent of the Demon Sect, it's okay to have some negative emotions, but asking for half a life is too much.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan decided to add a simple mode.
There is not much difference between the simple mode and the normal mode, except that in the simple mode, you will be shut down with the technique of bullying the small ones, and the player can only simply feel the atmosphere of the game.
But in the normal mode, the game will turn on the big bullying small mode, allowing the monks to feel the shock from the ancient gods.
A detection spell needs to be added here. When it is found that the player has mana, it will ask whether to choose simple mode or normal mode.
If you don’t have mana, just start in simple mode.
After adding this simple function, Lin Yuan found that since the simple mode was already available, it would be a pity not to add a suffering mode.
In the suffering mode, the ancient god's momentum is doubled, and some random events will double the ancient god's momentum. Random scares will double the player's surprise again. I believe they will cry with joy!
Just imagining the players’ reactions made Lin Yuan happy.
Playing games really makes people happy.
Save the completed game into the jade slip, Lin Yuan entered the backstage of "Refining the Wind and Cloud", and then pinned a message to the top of all chat channels.
[The new game "Wandering Corridor" is online. If you are willing to play, please prepare a Hsinchu slip and download it according to the process. 】
At this moment, the players who were exchanging passionate messages in the channel paused for a while.
Although the sparring continued, the passion and intensity dropped significantly.
Human beings are all creatures that love the new and hate the old.
We have almost finished playing "Refining Wind and Cloud Record", it's time to enjoy a new game.
Although the new game requires preparing new bamboo slips, and it takes an hour and a half to download, many players could not resist their curiosity and chose to download it and prepare to run it.
Daoxuan, the leader of the decent faction, is also one of them.
He was having fun with someone just now, when he unexpectedly saw the news about the new game, and his thoughts of teasing suddenly faded away.
The other party also had the same idea. They praised each other's trolling skills and made an appointment to continue trolling each other next time. They both chose to go offline and download the game, and then waited for an hour and a half.
While waiting, Daoxuan also studied the downloading principle with great interest, but soon realized that this was not an ordinary spell, but a magical power.
Although he is already a half-step Nascent Soul, his supernatural powers are so mysterious that he cannot understand them and can only use them.
Realizing that this was the effect of his magical power, Daoxuan shook his head regretfully, feeling quite sorry.
This thing that can transmit spells over long distances is quite wonderful. If used properly, it can have many interesting changes.
Unfortunately, this is the effect of magical power and cannot be imitated.
Sighing, he quietly waited for the game to download, with an unconscious smile on his face.
What kind of surprise will Fang Wai bring this time?
Thank you to Purple Palace B Chuxue for the 500-point reward, and to the Paladin’s Holy Light for the 100-point reward. Thank you.
