Chapter 354: Love is scary?
Wei Chengjie’s speculation is very reasonable.
Because this is the current standard answer for making similar games.
Although live acting may sound more expensive because you have to pay for the film, it is actually much lower than the cost of serious modeling and movement adjustment.
After all, game manufacturers don’t really need to find those first-tier stars. They only need to find some 18th-tier actors who are filming online dramas or floating around the film and television city, who are a little more handsome and good-looking. With more care, You can get pretty good results.
And if you want to design your own characters, two-dimensional characters are obviously the most suitable.
It is rare to hear that a certain game company makes a similar love game and actually makes the 3D modeling look like real people. It would be better to just shoot it with real people.
In addition, from the perspective of game operations, since there are various characters, the main profit points of the game should also be in these characters.
Drawing cards is the most direct way to increase game revenue, and without drawing cards, it would be difficult for Wei Chengjie to think of what kind of charging model this game should use.
It can’t be charged by card, right?
However, Lilith shook her head violently: "No!
"First of all, this game must adopt a realistic style of painting, the more realistic the better! Our goal is to make the character models in the game look as real as possible!
“I believe that with the current level of Nitiantian, it can be done.
“Secondly, this game will adopt a buyout system and will not release any collector’s edition or luxury version. Edition gift pack!
“All characters in the game will be drawn with game currency.
"Players can designate a certain character to increase the probability of drawing it. If they fail to draw it, the probability of drawing it next time will continue to increase.
"In general, players can draw all characters. The time and energy consumed are almost the same, it's just a matter of order. "
Wei Chengjie looked at Zhou Yang again, and the doubts in their expressions deepened.
There is a problem, there is definitely a big problem!
At this time, this game is like The tip of the iceberg has surfaced, but everyone guessed that Mr. Li will probably have to live a big life
Sure enough, Lilith continued: "But... just like the name of this game, "Heartbeat Dreamland", players will enter different dreams after encountering these characters.
"In these In dreams, players will encounter various monsters.
“There are zombies, there are tentacles of flesh and blood, there are demons, and there are ghosts.
“Moreover, the character they like will turn into another look, or may have a mutilated body. , or completely blacken into a terrifying monster, hunting players endlessly.
“Different characters correspond to different game modes.
"The first mode is the escape mode. In this mode, players cannot obtain any combat props and can only find ways to escape.
"The second mode is combat mode, where players can obtain a small amount of combat items. props and have combat capabilities.
“But due to the setting, the player is not a specially trained soldier, but just an ordinary otaku or otaku, so the marksmanship is not accurate, the crosshair will wander around, and the movement speed is very slow. , and the accuracy of moving targets will be greatly reduced.
“In short, players have to experience many shocks and narrow escapes before they can escape from the dream! ”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Good guy!
Are you sure this is a love game? And not a horror game?
Will this really prevent you from being beaten to death by angry players on the spot?
Wei Chengjie raised his hand weakly and asked: "Then...Mr. Li, what will happen after you clear this level?"
Lilith smiled slightly: "After you clear the level, the corresponding The character will disappear permanently in the game and can no longer be obtained, as if it had never appeared!" Everyone did not fully understand, but they were greatly shocked.
Love game + horror game?
Is such an idea from the underworld really something that normal humans can come up with?
The gap between these two game types is so great that most players will not associate them together.
After all, players who like to play love games are generally timid. They may just want to open the game and experience the feeling of being loved in the virtual two-dimensional world, and then escape reality as much as possible .
Imagine if they were playing a love game, and while they were having sex with the two-dimensional card characters in it, a grimace suddenly appeared on the screen...
I'm afraid they would have to be punched on the spot. Hammer the monitor, then rush to the game manufacturer to have a good talk about life with the producer.
Gu Fan was also amazed.
Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
Mr. Li has indeed taken another big step in the direction of not being a human being.
Lilith's method is very simple, which is to deliberately create this information gap!
Players feel that this is a love game at first, but after playing it for a while, it suddenly turns into a horror game, harvesting a wave of negative emotions.
What if a small number of players really persevere and pass the levels of the horror game?
Then just make this character disappear permanently in the game and reap a wave of negative emotions.
Gu Fan can only comment on this: Mr. Li seems to be going crazy. How can he come up with such an outrageous idea?
In this way, it is clear why the game adopts a realistic style.
Because the realistic style of painting can well integrate romance games and horror games, the switching between the two game modes will not appear so abrupt, which is conducive to creating greater frights for players.
After all, if the love part uses a two-dimensional painting style and the horror part uses a realistic painting style, the player will immediately realize that something is wrong at the moment of change and have a stress reaction, which is relatively less smooth. .
Lilith looked confident: "It's probably just such a game! Do you have any good opinions or suggestions?"
Everyone looked at Gu Fan.
The meaning is very clear: Mr. Gu, you should take care of it!
Gu Fan coughed twice: "Mr. Li, of course the idea itself is a good one, but... I think there is an important problem that needs to be solved."
Lilith Squinting his eyes slightly: "Well, what's the problem?"
"The problem is how to keep players as much as possible!
"Of course there is nothing wrong with the current approach, but it is definitely It's a one-shot deal. We have prepared so many characters, but after players play the first character and enter the horror part, they will definitely uninstall it directly, and they will definitely not play other characters again.
"Isn't this a waste?
"If they can stay and play with other characters, and then cut to different horror parts, it may have a better effect. "
Lilith nodded slightly: "Well... it sounds somewhat reasonable. But, how to do it? "
Gu Fan thought for a while: "Mr. Li, do you think it would be feasible if every time the player exits the game, he will return to the love part by default and trigger the horror content at a random time? ”
