Chapter 144: Players will eventually understand their hearts (seven monthly tickets)
After completing the explanation of the concept draft of "Two-Players", the entire team began to operate efficiently.
Such as characters and related actions, these art materials have been produced before the New Year.
The main task of the team is to focus on scene levels and plot performances.
Our own warehouse, big trees in the courtyard, corroded garden, snowballs of first love, and medieval castle made of Lego toys...
Chen Xu explained the characteristics of various theme scenes in the game to Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue.
These theme scenes are not just a scene in the game, but also symbolize the different changes in the mental journey of the two protagonists Xiaomei and Cody in the game.
"The cuckoo alarm clock level requires a metallic sharpness. At the same time, the special props functions in this level are time-based, which implies that Kodi and Xiaomei can do it again."
"The snow scene is a metaphor for the relationship between Cody and Xiaomei. The relationship between the two was as hot as flames, but now it is like the scene in the snow scene, completely frozen."
"But the glacier at the end of the snow scene ball's level breaks, which is also a metaphor, indicating that the ice layer that frozen Xiaomei and Cody's relationship has already had hope of breaking it."
"The same magnets at this level show that the relationship between Cody and Xiaomei has begun to get closer and closer from the beginning of repulsion to the attraction."
Chen Xu explained every scene in detail to ensure that Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue could understand the effect he wanted.
The requirements of the scene and the profound meaning of the plot are fully displayed.
You don’t have to rack your brains to think too much, just follow the ready-made requirements and modify some details through Chen Xu’s briefing.
There is no need to do the second and third versions at all, and then push the previous work back to the future.
Even though it was not the first time I felt it, I had already experienced it when the development of "Dark Souls", but the employees in the art team were very moved.
With such work experience, let alone the treatment of Nebula Games is not low, even if it is lower than the average, it will not make people feel no reason to leave.
……………………
While the development process of "Two Players" is gradually advancing, many players are a little confused after the Chinese New Year and cannot fall into the game shortage.
Although some game companies launched new works during this period, the two VR masterpieces of "Dark Souls" and Tenghua and NetDragon, which have already made their appetites difficult.
"Born! Do you have any new game recommendations?"
"No, the few models launched recently don't look good!"
"There is no way. Although some studios under Tenghua and NetDragon have new works, I don't think the quality is good."
"Yes, at this time last year, there was a "Nonsense Kitchen" and nothing this year."
"Don't mention "The Kitchen of Nothing", because I've been washing dishes for a year in "The Kitchen of Nothing"!"
"By the way, it's been the New Year, why haven't Chen Xu moved yet?"
"Yes, the manufacturers in the previous annual game events had previews for new works, but Chen Xu didn't make any noise. Except for the previous new mode of "Dark Souls", I haven't been able to hold up any of them yet."
"I guess I'm waiting for the ultimate move, and the sequel to "Dark Souls" may come!"
"Dark Souls is so difficult, I want to play some family-friendly games, such as Bean Man."
Not only are the discussions among players from major communities, but Chen Xu's official blog also has various questions about the subsequent project information of Nebula Games every day.
There are quite a lot of players looking forward to the sequel to "Dark Souls".
Looking at the various players who tagged themselves, Chen Xu thought about it and decided to reveal a wave of news.
He immediately sent an official blog with the following content.
‘The new game is already being made, a couples’ game, so that you can feel the warm and friendly game. There will be the latest news on Valentine’s Day, so look forward to it.’
Then Chen Xu also included a picture, a clay doll and a wooden doll were holding a dandelion in the air.
The moment this official blog was released, it exploded, attracting countless players who followed Chen Xu's movements.
‘Damn it, see what I have made! A new game is coming!?’
‘Wait! Couple cooperation? Valentine’s Day! wtf! Chen Xu, do you know that I just found a girlfriend and can’t wait to make me single!?’
‘From the accompanying pictures, the cartoon style is very friendly, but the blood and tears of "The Kitchen of Noble" tell us that this is a big pit!’
‘Once a year, you are here again this year’s Valentine’s Day, right!’
‘It’s time to mention old jokes every year again. Let’s fill in the blanks. Chen Xu’s nickname is ____?’
‘Last year’s “Non-Kitchen” asked me to round up the bowls at home. This year, you want me to wrap my clothes, right?’
Players were in a panic. It was really at this time last year that a game with similar rhetoric impressed them so much.
But no matter how you say it, the topic of "Chen Xu" new game is still rising again and again on the game media website.
And in the gaming industry, this news has spread.
‘I heard that? Chen Xu’s new game is a two-player collaboration type.’
‘Not the sequel to Dark Souls?’
‘It should be considered an over-the-top mini-game like last year’s “The Kitchen of Nothing”?’
‘I don’t know what kind of game Chen Xu is like this year, can he play it?’
‘What do you think? The two-person collaboration is nothing more than changing the theme and mode like last year’s "The Kitchen of Nonsense". What else can you make for?’
The industry and player groups are discussing Chen Xu’s new game, but the main impression is still concentrated on last year’s “Nonsense Kitchen”.
After all, it is really hard for people not to think about this time and the rhetoric.
However, Chen Xu was not affected. When the game was officially launched, all the "injustice" would be washed away. At that time, players will finally understand their feelings and know why they are called: the warrior of love!
………………………………………
As players were eagerly discussing, it was soon Valentine's Day on February 14th.
At noon that day, Chen Xu and Xingyun Games' official blog also released a news about the official blog.
The content of the message is very simple: a trailer.
Three words, and the following is a video.
After clicking on it, a wooden door appeared in the screen after a brief black screen.
As the wooden door opened, a book with facial features appeared in front of the camera.
It says ‘book of love’ (Book of Love)
‘This is a story about the magical kingdom.’
Book of Love stretched out his hands as if to welcome the players watching the video, and at the same time the camera quickly pulled back.
The lighthouse, bell tower, and cartoon art style make the whole picture look like a dream.
‘There are many wizards and warriors among them.’
The camera came to a room, with two dolls, one with clay and one with wood, each wearing wizard suits, holding a burning sword with armor, and then fighting a cartoon monster in a place similar to a arena.
‘This epic legend takes place on the sea.’
Small sailboats like building blocks are on the sea, avoiding sharks with big mouths and octopus monsters with huge tentacles.
‘And it is also a journey through time and space.’
The road made up of countless gears seems to be inside a wall clock.
‘biubiubiu! It even includes winter dreams, going for a sled or something.’
In the snowy track, a sled car was moving forward rapidly.
The next moment, countless fragments flashed by, railroad tracks shuttled through the tunnel, avoiding spiders in the forest, and facing bats on the platform.
‘Wait…I mentioned that there will be a big explosion?’
A platform similar to a copper tube was built. With a roar, huge flames burst out, and two dolls and villains were pushed away by powerful shock waves.
‘Wait a minute, look at these dolls… I almost forgot that they were humans.’
The camera is frozen on the two dolls that were blown away, and a photo appears at the same time.
The man and woman in a wedding dress and suit stood in front of the cake with a smile on their faces.
But the photo splits in half and separates them.
‘Okay, okay… do you want to know what the theme of this story is?’
‘This is the story of Cody and Little Mei.’
The camera gives two panicked dolls.
‘If you want to change back? Then you have to repair your relationship first…’
‘This is a story about passion…’
‘This is a story about charm…’
‘This is a story about collaboration…’
Along with a series of game scenes flashed, the logo of Nebula Game flashed.
Chapter completed!
