DLC refers to the subsequent downloadable content of the main game.

Generally, the content of the game is expanded so that players can enjoy more additional game content while experiencing the original game.

It's like buying an order of French fries and the store gives you a packet of ketchup.

This ketchup is DLC.

French fries are the main body of the game.

The main plot of "Resident Evil 7" tells the story of an ordinary man named Ethan, who came to an abandoned mansion in the wilderness in search of his missing wife, where he met the mutated Baker family.

The main plot is that after Ethan rescued his wife, he started to escape, and then step by step he killed the Baker family who had become monsters.

However, during the game, players will find some video tapes. After playing, they can temporarily control a minor protagonist named Clancy.

Clancy, the bit-part protagonist, is a photographer. He followed the team to the Baker's house for an adventure. As a result, he experienced a narrow escape like Ethan. However, he did not have the aura of the protagonist, so he was burned into coke in the end. Still miserable.

The DLC tells the story of Clancy, the minor protagonist, who has experienced two crises that require brain use.

Among them, "Blackjack" is a card game in which Clancy was caught after being attacked by Baker's son Lucas, and played with his life as a bet.

Players need to win through three rounds of crises: finger amputation, electric shock, and cutting, and gain freedom.

Otherwise, it's Game Over.

The fundamental reason why Meng Shu chose the DLC of "Resident Evil 7" as a VR case is that "Blackjack" is small in size and fun enough, with simple rules and a sense of tension when playing.

It can be said to be a bloody version of a puzzle game.

Especially after victory, the painful screams of the opponent's execution are a constant reminder to the player: If you lose, you will also end up like this!

However, players in the original world, because they have been baptized by various horror games and are separated from the screen, do not have much emotional fluctuations in this kind of life and death card game.

But in this world, tsk tsk.

Welcome to experience the charm of death!

So Meng Shu singled out "Blackjack" as the first shot in the field of VR games.

Purchasing the complete set of "Resident Evil 7" requires 1,050,000 fright points. He only has 568,000 points, so he can't afford it at all.

But it’s still okay if you only buy one of the DLCs.

Meng Shu selected "Blackjack", and the required fright value was immediately displayed.

210,000 fright points!

A small DLC is so expensive!

However, it is still within the acceptable range.

Meng Shu immediately chose to purchase, and immediately, the system showed that his game purchase was successful.

[You have obtained the DLC of the horror game "Resident Evil 7" and the step-by-step development tutorial of "Blackjack"]

[You got the DLC of the horror game "Resident Evil 7" and the concept design of "Blackjack"]

[You have obtained the DLC of the horror game "Resident Evil 7" and the VR version production method of "Blackjack"]

Crash--

Accompanied by the sound of coins colliding, his fright value finally remained at 358,000 points.

The hand handling the large intestine paused slightly.

A stream of professional knowledge appeared in his brain out of thin air.

In just two breaths, he completely understood it and made it one of his abilities.

Then, he exhaled, shook his head, and smiled.

"Sure enough, there are no such things as art resources..."

"Forget it, now that the game has been purchased, VR has to be put on the agenda. Let's start recruiting people tomorrow."

As he spoke, he stopped thinking and concentrated on handling the ingredients in his hands.

That night, the two elders came back from working overtime and looked at a table of delicacies that were full of color, flavor and flavor. They both looked in astonishment.

Little girl Meng's eyes widened and she asked, "What day is today?"

The two elders are honest people, but they are also curious about why they cooked so much food today.

In response, Meng Shu shrugged and made up an excuse, saying that he had found a job and was going to work tomorrow. He would just celebrate tonight and have a good meal.

His parents' honest and responsible character made them no doubt that he was there, and they were even happy together.

Little girl Meng directly picked up her chopsticks and ate her food, which was not ladylike at all.

The second elder also sat down, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. While eating, he talked about trivial matters encountered at work.

Meng Shu drank water quietly, responding to the elders' questions from time to time, and looked at the family silently with his raised eyes.

Mother's waxy and wrinkled hands gently picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the sauce, and placed it in Meng Shu's bowl. He picked up another one, dipped it in the sauce, and gave it to little girl Meng.

Then she picked one up for herself. She didn't even have time to dip it in the sauce, so she eagerly bit into it. It was so hot that she took a big gulp of water.

My father, on the other hand, picked up the stir-fried sausage and chewed it with relish, his face full of enjoyment.

Meng Shu stood up, took two bottles of beer bought today from the refrigerator and handed them over.

This made my father stare. He couldn't wait to take it, opened the bottle and drank it. Finally, he exhaled a big breath, his face was full of relief.

This is his new family, an ordinary and hard-working family.

He didn't tell them that he had made millions because he felt it wasn't the right time yet.

The money has been made, but it hasn’t arrived yet.

Moreover, this money must be invested in the development of the company and cannot be touched casually.

He planned to wait until the company was operating stably and he had enough money to buy a house directly, and then tell them the good news.

In Meng Shu's opinion, it is better to tell them in advance and then let them look forward to it.

It is better to start a new life with the whole family on the day you tell them, saving you the hard hope and expectation.

The two elders are used to living a hard life, and they are family members, so there is no need to show off in front of them.

Therefore, Meng Shu chose to hide it temporarily.



The next day, he came to the company.

Looking at the huge 'Only Game' LED sign at the front desk, I smiled.

Then he walked in and came to his own independent office.

Office supplies and work computers have been purchased.

From now on, he'll be developing games here, not at home.

Although little girl Meng is still wearing a plaster, she can move around freely at home and does not need anyone to look after her.

And Meng Shu also made it clear that if there is an emergency, call him.

After everything was done, he came to the company and started recruiting online.

The system gave him conceptual design drafts, and he needed to turn these drafts into art resources.

So first of all, 3D modelers are indispensable, so let’s recruit one first.

Then there’s the scene designer, hire one first.

Next is the animator responsible for motion capture, whose main job is to adjust the body movements and expressions of the game characters.

Other original animators and special effects artists are no longer needed for the time being, and the system can replace them.

Then there is the programming aspect, which is not needed for the time being. He can do it alone. He will recruit people later when he makes a real VR game. Time is urgent now, so he will take care of it first.

There is no need for planning.

Next is finance, this is very necessary, an absolute position in a company.

"Let's leave it like this for the time being. The most urgent task is to get the art resources out first, and everything else will be easy to talk about."

After planning, Meng Shu posted the recruitment.

While waiting, he contacted Infinite Entertainment again.

As one of the top domestic companies with experience in game development, they must have motion capture equipment, or recommend it.

Sure enough, after asking, the other party said that he could help with the purchase, and it must be professional equipment with the best effect and high quality.

This saved him a lot of time.

After finishing these tasks, he began to continue the development of the final chapter of Dark Forest.

This chapter, compared to the previous two chapters, is not large in size. He has been working on it intermittently in the past few days and has already made 70% of the progress.

It can be completed in three to four days at most.

By the time EA ends and the official version is released, sales should also increase a lot.

It will be of great help to future VR game plans!
