At this point, the only game.
Meng Shu sat in his office chair, with the data panel appearing in his mind.
Planning: 60+5 (general)
Program: 60+12 (General)
Art: 60+4 (general)
Music: 60+1 (general)
Seeing this, Meng Shu nodded secretly in his heart.
I planned to add 2 points. It seems that the modification of the game has worked, so I added a new value for him again.
The program added 4 points, which feels a bit less. After all, I played the entire game by myself, but in the end, I didn’t even get 5 points?
There is nothing wrong with adding 2 points to the art. After all, the picture quality and all aspects of the scenes are far better than the original version.
The music actually added 1 point, which was a bit beyond his expectation.
He originally thought that this time it would be the same as the last "Blackjack", because he didn't put much effort into the music.
This time, I just asked Infinite Entertainment to follow the sound effects composition in the concept design, and added 2 points, which is interesting.
In this case, the next game may have to work hard on music.
After reading the data panel, Meng Shu lowered his gaze and looked at the fright value panel.
"Dark Forest": 217,000 people have been frightened (70,000 new people)
"Blackjack": 4.2 million people have been frightened (an additional 100,000 people)
"Face": 280,000 people have been frightened
Total fright value: 5198000
"Isn't it? I didn't even reply!?"
Meng Shu's closed eyes opened subconsciously.
The shock value of 5.19 million made him a little stunned.
Because this... still doesn't reach the purchase price of "The Face" itself.
When I originally bought "The Face", I spent a full 6.9 million in shock value!
Meng Shu picked up the water glass and took a big sip to calm down a little.
"Okay, the selling prices of 99 yuan and 70 yuan, together with the new data of the two old games, there were 5.19 million on the first day, which is not a loss. The fright value will definitely increase slowly in the future, but that's okay. It’s okay.”
only...
Meng Shu looked at "Dark Forest" and "Blackjack".
The growth of these two games has been somewhat slow.
Sure enough, the game is only released in China, so there is obviously a critical value.
We need to talk to the publisher. The next game must be made in multiple languages and sold globally.
Although it is on the cyber platform, not many people know about it because it has not been promoted or localized abroad.
At the same time, in order to increase the exposure of the game, the finished product needs to be sent to media evaluation agencies for scoring.
Finally, there is the issue of political correctness...
Meng Shu frowned and remained silent, folded his arms and lay down on the chair.
This parallel world is a little bit the same as the original world.
Even the West is still deceiving itself.
In order to successfully release the game, they will add some politically correct elements to silence some groups.
However, this kind of thing happened in the original world, and Meng Shu was not surprised.
There is a well-known Western producer who has deviated from the essence of making games. He is well aware of the scoring bias of Western game media and concentrates on serving political correctness. He has superimposed various rare BUFFs in the game that make players sweat.
Sure enough, with the blessing of multiple politically correct buffs, the game was deeply loved by the Western media and became a miracle that players said was highly polarizing.
So much so that many subsequent games have intensified their efforts and stopped acting.
For example, the face of Aunt Horizon.
Another example is the heroine incident in Extinction 2, where the production team temporarily replaced the heroine with a black woman, which was completely different from the original presentation.
In fact, it is not unacceptable to switch to a black woman, but what is too much is that the production team took the face model actor who is not ugly and made it look like an ape that the players can't bear to look at.
You must know that this face model actress was even a beauty in "Men in Black 2".
So Chinese players who couldn't accept this aesthetic used MOD to replace the heroine model with the heroine from the original early demonstration.
As a result, this behavior was resisted by Western player groups, who believed that Chinese players were engaging in racial discrimination, so they banned the use of this MOD in major forums and asked Western players to enjoy the game in its original flavor.
Of course, Chinese players don't care about this kind of behavior. They can't help but love it. Anyway, we use it and it's enough to make it comfortable, no matter what you say.
Of course, the tough attitude of Western player groups has also caused dissatisfaction among themselves.
Therefore, 'Some people can deceive their own brains, but they cannot deceive their own dicks.' This relatively classic sentence received a lot of likes on a certain MOD website.
In the final analysis, it is still political correctness.
Meng Shu thought for a moment and shook his head.
He is a Chinese and there is no need to imitate foreign political correctness.
If the game is to be localized on global console platforms or abroad, he will only do what he wants to do, instead of blindly catering to the game media, which is putting the cart before the horse.
In Meng Shu’s view, games should try to avoid politics and provide players with a good gaming experience.
But with the development of the times, the monopoly of capital has increased.
These politics also began to actively move closer to the game and intervene in it.
Then they include private goods in the game, criticize other countries, and promote themselves.
Mengshu would avoid this kind of thing.
He would not do such a despicable act of indoctrinating players through games.
Now, he looked at a game that he had already decided on.
"Sky Mountain".
This is a 2D horizontal version of the vertical downward game.
Due to the problem of development funds, the game is full of visible poverty and shabbyness.
But the simplicity is good and the gameplay is interesting.
It became a hit after it came out.
The background of this game is about the West in an imaginary world, where the Civil War is going on.
Among them, the Confederate (Southern Alliance) was somewhat defeated and showed signs of defeat.
In desperation, the Alliance launched a bioweapon that exploded a mushroom cloud into New Europe.
So under such circumstances, the protagonist of the game appears.
In the game, it is introduced that he went on a business trip to another city. In order to enjoy life, he checked into a luxury hotel called 'Sky Mountain' and chose the presidential suite on the 100th floor of the top floor.
The characteristics of this suite are that it has a good view, a long view, and the entire floor is within the scope of the suite. It also has a direct elevator to the entire floor.
So under such a life, he saw a green mushroom cloud exploding not far away from the top floor of the 100th floor with a wide view.
At this moment, the world changed.
In order to prevent radiation, the protagonist turned on biological protection and locked himself in the 100th floor, not daring to go out easily.
The elevator broke down at an inappropriate time, and there was no food or water in the house, making him increasingly hungry.
At the same time, the sound of roaring and chewing was heard outside the house, which made the protagonist feel that things seemed to be far beyond his imagination.
Finally, with an instinctive burst, I decided to go out, go down to the first floor, and escape from here.
The gameplay of the game is very simple, just go downstairs, collect food and items on each floor, and then return to the 100th floor before the hunger level reaches the bottom, spend the night, build items, and strengthen yourself.
Then go downstairs again and repeat.
During this period, you can use the collected items to make materials for repairing the elevator, so that you can return to the top floor faster, or you can directly start exploring downwards from that floor without having to go back to the 99th floor again, which wastes hunger points.
Because players need to consume hunger points when going downstairs.
Each floor and each room will consume a little bit after entering.
After the hunger value is consumed, the health value will be deducted until death.
The player has a total of 100 hunger points and health points, corresponding to 100 floors and 200 rooms.
Therefore, it is not advisable to go downstairs without thinking. Reasonable use of resources, timely replenishment of status, and persistent efforts have become the top priority for players.
The game also has a skill system, but it is completely locked at the beginning and cannot be used.
These skills will only be unlocked gradually as you go to lower floors.
Moreover, there are many mutant creatures in the building, and the protagonist needs to avoid these monsters when exploring downwards.
If there is really no way to avoid it, they will enter a battle.
However, since the direction of the game is focused on exploration and survival, the combat part is very simple. It is a turn-based type where you hit me and I hit you, and there is a chance of missing.
All Meng Shu has to do is buy this game and change the horizontal 2D version into a 3D VR version.
This is equivalent to remaking the game. While retaining the gameplay and concept settings, all the game's hundred-story buildings, art resources, monster models, plot missions, etc. have been renovated.
Change it into a real horror game of free survival and exploration in a building.
