"..."
Comella itself is a world-class comprehensive gaming and entertainment company.
And Golden Wind is the most promising product in the domestic market today and the creator of many game innovations.
The two companies announced their cooperation, which undoubtedly caused waves.
For a time, there was constant discussion from all parties!
'Hiss - Xiao Huang's wave of pure heifers took a plane and directly cooperated with Comella! '
'And it was Comella who took the initiative to come to the door.'
'Psychological horror are you kidding me? Who wouldn't want to be kicked out of the somatosensory cabin and have a wave of neural connections before leaving? '
'You contribute money and I contribute effort to create new miracles in the underworld'
'Hahahahahaha...'
'Shadow netizens can really come up with any slogans...'
'It's hard to imagine that this time the old thief will come up with so many hellish things'
'Indeed, the previous cost of ghost phobia was only a few million, right? '
"Comella, a little steel ball immortal, has a lot of money. I don't know what underworld gadgets he will make with this comprehensive upgrade."
'Let me tell you a ghost story. As an industry insider, we have met to analyze the form of psychological horror before, and we came to the unanimous conclusion that adding money is the most effective way to increase the fright level of this type of horror game.'
'Indeed, because the most important thing about psychological horror is immersion. The higher the quality of the game industry, the stronger the immersion and the scarier it will be.'
'Fuck, could it be that before the somatosensory cabin had time to kick me, I would have already been drinking soup down there? '
Po Meng: Young man, you are very fast! I opened my mouth in the blink of an eye? '
'Hahahahahahahaha that's outrageous...'
'Black and White Impermanence: Why was this month's KPI overfulfilled so early? '
'On the day the game was launched, the King of Hell watched his life and death book flashing'
'Schrödinger's player, huh? Before opening the somatosensory cabin, I was in a superposition state of being scared to death and not scared to death'
'laughing to death, suddenly looking forward to this game'
'The main thing is to see where the limit of the underworld is for the old thief with the blessing of Comella's money ability'
'I'm mainly looking forward to the exciting live broadcast sessions'
'As expected, the players of Golden Wind are more or less perverted.'
'...'
Speculations are rampant.
The media rushed to report on it, while the players looked forward to it with curiosity.
Amid this lively discussion, the "pilot cooperation" between Golden Wind and Comella is also advancing rapidly.
It can be seen that Comella is really anxious.
On the third day after the two parties reached a cooperation, Comella sent the labor employment contract to Golden Wind.
In addition to the labor contract, there is also a confidentiality agreement.
Gu Sheng had no objection to this.
After all, he is the chief game director and the person who controls the core data of the game.
If he was holding back his mischief and secretly leaked the progress of Silent Hill-related development information and let the media get it, it would be okay, but if other competitors got it, Comella would definitely have a headache.
Therefore, a confidentiality agreement must be signed to prevent leaks.
soon!
The labor employment contract and confidentiality agreement have all been signed.
Comella is not ambiguous at all.
The amount of 200,000 knives was quickly transferred to Golden Wind's account, and they promised to pay the remaining balance immediately after the development of the trial version was completed.
Along with the money, there was also the scrapped draft of the plan that only contained the structure settings.
Of course!
Because this plan is really incomplete, and Gu Sheng himself has successful experience in psychological horror.
Therefore, Tetsuya Moritani also expressed his position on behalf of the company——
The development leadership is all in the hands of Gu Sheng. This plan is just a reference. The specific story and related settings are fully decided by Gu Sheng.
…
how should I do it?
It’s the weekend again.
Gu Sheng sat in the study, frowning in deep thought.
He had read the fragments of the project sent by Comella, and there were only a few pages in total.
Perhaps for this world, there are countless suspense in that incomplete plan, which is great and attracts endless imagination.
But for him, just seeing its structure and a little bit of the plot at the beginning, the complete version of this project has already emerged in his mind.
In terms of the core horror form of the game, the former TS (Team Silent) team chose 'psychologically suggestive fear'.
To put it bluntly, it is psychological horror. Through various hints and images, it creates a terrifying and twisted atmosphere, bringing strong psychological hints to players and making them panic.
In some of the game's monster settings, triangular heads, humanoid bats, women in iron cages, etc. also appear one by one.
Finally, here is the setting for the beginning of the game’s story——
A man named James accidentally received a letter one day. The sender was his wife Mary.
Mary invites him to a small town called Silent Hill.
But the terrible thing is that his wife Mary has been dead for three years.
Perhaps to ordinary people, this is just a malicious prank.
But strangely, the letter mentioned many details of life and personal preferences that only he and his wife knew.
Moreover, when his wife was suffering from a terminal illness, he also took his wife to Silent Hill to recuperate.
So obviously, this letter is definitely not a simple prank.
Where did the letter come from? What secrets are hidden in Silent Hill?
With all kinds of doubts, James embarked on the road to Silent Hill...
Gu Sheng is simply not too familiar with this plot.
Because this was the game setting of "Silent Hill 2" in his previous life!
Although the remaining part of the project ended here, Gu Sheng knew the rest of the story clearly——
Just after James came to Silent Hill, many bizarre things happened one after another.
The dust falling from the sky, the imprisoned butcher with a steel triangular head, the strange woman who looks exactly like his wife...
In a world full of weirdness, James experienced nightmare-like dangers.
As the exploration deepened, a shocking fact that he couldn't believe came to light -
Originally, James and his wife loved each other very much.
But there are unforeseen circumstances.
The news that his wife was terminally ill came like a bolt from the blue.
In order not to lose his beloved wife, James traveled around and took Mary to seek medical advice and seek various treatments.
However, the physically and mentally exhausted running did not bring about the slightest improvement in his wife's life.
Instead, the wife's condition worsened, her originally delicate and beautiful face gradually withered and deteriorated, and her long-term illness also made her become more hysterical.
To make matters worse, the increasing cost of treatment made James more breathless and burned out his will.
This kind of desperate pain was like the fire of purgatory, making him miserable.
And this pain seems to be just like Mary's hysterical sobbing:
If you don't want me to die, why do you look so angry? If you want me dead, why do you look so sad?
James didn't know how to answer.
He loved Mary, everything about her.
At the same time, he also hated Mary, and hated that her illness had severely shattered all the good things that had once existed.
The emotional distress of the patients he has cared for for a long time has made James' nerves increasingly fragile.
Finally, when his wife was terminally ill and there was no cure, she was waiting for death.
James could no longer bear the emotional torture of despair, and at the same time he wanted to relieve his wife.
One afternoon, he kissed his wife deeply and then covered Mary alive with a pillow.
Yes, he killed his wife with his own hands three years ago.
The various monsters and images in the world of Silent Hill are exactly the darkness and cowardice that he has been unwilling to face.
A depressing and extremely profound core.
To this day, Gu Sheng can still recall the overwhelming and depressing emotions he fell into after clearing the game, as well as his astonishing sigh at the core emotions expressed in the game.
There is no doubt that this Silent Hill, whether it is the game presentation, the game plot, the core spirit of the game, or even the soundtrack, are all works of art.
It seems that in this world, the TS team wants to first produce "Silent Hill 2" in its previous life, and then complete the Silent Hill worldview through subsequent works, and then expand the story step by step.
Although the order of production has been slightly adjusted, the general idea should be this way.
It is hard to imagine that the Comela in this world could accidentally kill such a landmark work in its infancy.
Oh shit! Wait a minute? !
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng suddenly woke up!
Something's wrong, damn!
Although, the Silent Hill project currently in his hands is a fragment.
But it is conceivable that what TS showed to Comella's senior management ten years ago was definitely not such a fragmentary project!
That is to say.
At that time, Comella's senior management must have seen this epoch-making project, but because its early investment scale was too large, its prospects were unclear, and it conflicted with another project, they axed this IP. !
This is not a good sign.
Thinking about this, Gu Sheng opened the webpage and searched for what kind of magical game it was that had defeated "Silent Hill" in terms of project resources ten years ago.
Without much effort, Gu Sheng found the answer.
Because Comela's economic situation was not very good exactly ten years ago, it did not produce many games. It only produced a total of five games, large and small.
Among these five games, the only one that is of the same size as Silent Hill is a fantasy-style action-adventure game called "Yin Yang: Demons at Night".
After learning the details of the game, Gu Sheng frowned with an unhappy expression.
Because this Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts is completely incomparable to Silent Hill in terms of gameplay, plot structure, and core spirit.
The only advantage is that its predecessor "Yin Yang Zhi" was sold very well on the PC, which brought a lot of profits to Camera.
Yes.
This is a money-making sequel.
But it’s such a cliched game sequel with almost no highlights, and it just beats Silent Hill!
What does this mean?
Needless to say.
Because the answer seems to be obvious.
bass!
Gu Sheng was originally half-lying, but he sat up immediately!
Maybe he didn’t wear the colored glasses wrong before!
Whether it's Konami in the previous life or Comora in this world, I'm afraid they are all worth a Fuck!
Although, this conclusion is a bit arbitrary now, after all, it has been ten years since Camera killed Silent Hill.
Perhaps in these ten years, Comella has also improved and begun to focus on the artistry of games.
But as the saying goes, be careful and sail the boat for thousands of years!
With Comela having such a criminal record, Gu Sheng had to reconsider!
Actually originally!
When he saw the project for the remaining part, his first reaction was to reset the "Silent Hill 2" from his previous life into the somatosensory cabin!
Perfectly meets Party A’s requirements.
Although such a reset requires a lot of effort due to game perspective, industrial technology and other reasons.
But Comella is rich, and the quality of this game is indeed high, so Gu Sheng is not afraid of trouble and is willing to let this classic see the light of day again in this world.
After all, Comella has no way of knowing what the original content of this project was, and the TS team has long since disappeared from the gaming circle as time has changed.
In other words, now, he is the only one in the world who has the ability, conditions, and hope to complete this project.
He planned to add a small prologue to Silent Hill as a trial version, mainly to show the industrial level of the game and the core of pure psychological fear, and then fit the content to the main body of the game, leaving a small chapter at the end of the trial version. Easter eggs, which lead to the official version of the game.
Then, while perfecting the plan, we are waiting for the formal cooperation between the two parties to be implemented.
In this way, when the contract is signed, he will be able to seamlessly restart this classic masterpiece with the core team!
The plan is good.
But now!
Gu Sheng didn't think so anymore.
Because he couldn't guarantee at all whether Comella would cause trouble in future cooperation!
so!
"The content plan for the official version of the game... I'd better wait for a while..."
Gu Sheng murmured:
“Not only the plans for the official version of the content will have to wait, but we will wait until the cooperation is actually confirmed,”
"The content of this trial version... needs to be reconsidered..."
Comella's dirty tricks ten years ago made him suspicious.
He must teach the cat to save the tiger.
The official version of the content plan will not be released for the time being.
As for the trial version, it also needs to be a little more cryptic and full of metaphorical hints, so that Comella can't see through his story at a glance.
Moreover, this trial version must be exquisite and exquisite, and strive to reach the ceiling level.
Even more shameless to boast - only he can perfectly present this IP.
"Metaphorical hints, clouds and fog, hidden main plot, ceiling level, Silent Hill, demo version... oh haha."
Gu Sheng closed his eyes and thought.
For a moment, I thought silently in my heart: System?
【I am here】
Help me unlock Silent Hill.
