The updated Studio and DLC for Extreme Speed have succeeded in rekindling enthusiasm for the game, while Flame Studios is working on Attack on Titan.

In the process of research and development, Hu Bin also encountered some uncertain problems, but after consulting Zhong Ming, it was quickly finalized.

The style of this game mainly refers to two kinds, one is the cinematic game represented by "Uncharted", which is mainly to show the compact and exciting plot of the game itself; The other is a souls-based game represented by "Wolf", mainly to highlight the combat system and the atmosphere of despair.

In the cinematic approach, Zhong Ming diluted the UI elements of the game as much as possible, such as the absence of the player's health bar in the game, the current state of the protagonist will be shown through the breathing effect at the edge of the screen, and the screen will glow red when injured, accompanied by a heavy gasping sound.

A very small amount of UI is used to indicate the amount of gas remaining and the degree of wear of the blade, which will only be displayed in an inconspicuous place when the gas is running out or the blade is dull, to alert the player.

At the same time, the attacking giant will not float the damage number, but will only hint at the effect of the player's attack through the special effect of the sword light. For example, if you don't hit, you won't have the slashing effect of the knife light, but if you hit the vital point, you will have a brilliant sword light effect.

As in Monster Hunter, the UI will not show the remaining health of the giant, but the action of the giant will be different depending on the amount of health, and the player will need to judge for themselves how many more attacks it will take to knock the giant down.

In terms of the combat system, the player's main skills are: keeping flying in the air without falling, successfully getting around the giant's back, and pressing the buttons at the right time to slash.

The slash effect is like the perfect parry in "Wolf", there is a certain detection range, and when the player presses the slash button in the perfect range, the most lethal damage can be inflicted on the giant.

……

As with Wolf, the first to be completed was the combat system of Attack on Titan.

It is only necessary to make a simple scene, a character, a giant, and the intensity of the battle can be tested repeatedly.

In the Torch Studio.

Huang Yan handed the handle to Hu Bin and cast a "come on" look.

Hu Bin coughed dryly twice: "The value, is it the same as "Wolf"? ”

Huang Yan nodded: "Hmm...... Almost. However, according to the requirements of Mr. Zhong's design draft, the attack power of the giant was increased a bit. ”

"Hehe......" The corners of Hu Bin's mouth twitched slightly, and it was really a familiar taste.

Anyway, no matter what the current value is, Zhong Ming's method of doing the value is to directly double the monster value and it's over.

Since it's a soul game, the basic numerical system of the game is naturally based on the set of "Wolf", Huang Yan, as a numerical designer, doesn't dare to be so bold in making his own values, but it's okay to copy the values of the previous work.

It's just that copying it is not playing, the mobs in "Attack on Titan" have been improved compared to "Wolf", and the gameplay design has also been enhanced.

According to Zhong Ming, this is "a regular numerical adjustment to keep the game from being too simple", and Huang Yan has only one idea about it: "Hehe. ”

As for what kind of enhancements there are......

Hu Bin plans to experience it for himself.

After taking over the handle, Hu Bin first did a spiritual construction for himself.

Recalling his previous experience of playing "Wolf", Hu Bin was ready to die as a dog.

However, he still has some luck in his heart, after all, when he tried to play "Wolf", it was a ready-made demo, which included the content of the entire Longquan Mansion, and this demo was just a scene and a giant.

You can't die like a dog anymore, can you?

Enter the game.

Hu Bin was very witty and first made the character with the highest combat effectiveness in the game: Commander Levi.

There are several different characters in the game, and although they can all be played, the values are different, and there are differences in various aspects such as stamina, strength, agility, etc. And the soldier commander is the one with the strongest combat effectiveness, whether in the plot or in the actual game.

Hu Bin thinks that using the strongest character should make it a little easier for me, right?

And this is not considered cheating, the test thing, how can it be said to be cheating!

Hu Bin first tried to use the three-dimensional motorized device, and quickly adapted to it, and the operation was smooth.

The three-dimensional maneuver in the plot is complex to use, requiring a long time of hard training, and the game is completely simplified, as long as you push the joystick + button, the character in the game will automatically use the stereo maneuver to move, which is similar to the operation of the "Spider-Man" game.

"Alright, almost."

At Hu Bin's suggestion, Huang Yan put an ordinary giant in the scene and activated its AI.

Soon, the giant began to take twisted steps and ran towards Hu Bin's location.

"As long as you hit the back of the neck perfectly, you will die with a knife." Hu Bin cheered himself up, and then used the three-dimensional maneuvering device to fly towards the giant.

"Whoosh!"

The iron wire perfectly stabbed the giant's neck, Hu Bin pushed the left joystick, and the soldier commander began to spin around the giant.

"Sprint!"

Hu Bin pressed the sprint button, and the three-dimensional maneuvering device behind the commander immediately spewed out a large amount of smoke, and at the same time, the iron wire contracted rapidly, pulling the commander quickly towards the giant!

However, at the moment when Hu Bin pressed the sprint button, the giant raised his hand, and his open palm blocked in front of him, just grabbing the flying commander.

"it!"

Hu Bin was stupid, he made a reckless sprint, and directly sent the commander to the giant's throwing technique, and was caught!

"Break free!"

Hu Bin immediately remembered that he had the ability to break free, but his hand obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of his brain, he pressed desperately, but only crossed out a few fingers of the giant, and the commander was still stuffed into the mouth by the giant.

"Die!"

A large text appears on the screen.

Hu Bin held his forehead, and the whole person felt a little bad.

Huang Yan didn't dare to say anything on the side, let alone remind Hu Bin that this was just an ordinary monster in the game, not an important node-type boss like the Armored Giant.

In the plot, the commander of the army was able to kill more than a dozen giants single-handedly, and he could also capture the giant of the ape alive, but he changed his personal operation and was directly buried in the mouth of an ordinary giant, which made Hu Bin feel very faceless.

He looked at Huang Yan silently, and Huang Yan immediately reset the entire scene with understanding.

The second time, Hu Bin learned a lot and did not rush over at the first time, but flew around a few times first, and even tried to cut off the giant's two hands before finally attacking.

As a result, when he slashed his neck, he failed to inflict fatal damage on the giant because he pressed the attack button too early. Hu Bin also wanted to adjust his position and cut it a second time, but one of the giant's hands happened to recover, and he slapped the commander on the ground with a slap, and stepped on the spot with a supplementary kick.

"Die!"

This time, Hu Bin's eyes didn't need to be reminded, Huang Yan hurriedly pressed the reset button.

The third time, Hu Bin's spirit was highly tense, and he pressed the attack button at the moment when the commander was about to fly behind the giant's neck.

"It's done!"

Quite a gorgeous attack effect appeared on the screen instantly, which means that this attack successfully inflicted a fatal weakening on the back of the giant's neck!

The giant lost his strength and fell to the ground, which also marked that Hu Bin finally succeeded in killing a giant.

"It worked!"

"The difficulty is okay, the difficulty is okay!"

Hu Bin was very happy and said to Huang Yan: "Just do this, I think it's difficult!" ”

Huang Yan didn't dare to say anything, nodded and said, "Okay, then come according to this value." ”

Hu Bin is very happy, I have made great progress!

After clearing "Wolf", I feel that I am no longer an action game sufferer!

Look at the choice of this attack opportunity, and see the grasp of this attack timing, this is all perfectly parried and practiced in "Wolf"!

Even I can kill it three times, so it should be smoother for the rest of the players.

Hu Bin left happily and went to his own business.

Huang Yan hesitated, but still didn't tell Hu Bin a more critical thing for the time being, that is, players don't only face one giant at the same time when fighting......

If you face three giants at the same time, the effect of the battle will be completely different......

It's just that Huang Yan didn't dare to destroy Hu Bin's good mood, so he could only wait for a while to explain this problem.

……

At the same time, the new building of Shimmer Mutual Entertainment has begun to break ground.

According to the original plan, the building will be completed earlier than the theme park, and after completion, it will be ready for a month or two, and the home can be moved. After all, the world is more sophisticated in its construction workmanship, and you don't need to spend months trying to get your paint smelling bad.

Many employees are already driving to the address of the new headquarters on weekends off to see how the building is progressing.

This is quite a critical thing for a lot of people, especially some new hires who are single. It is said that when the new headquarters is completed, the surrounding amenities will include very cheap staff dormitories, a free-use gymnasium, swimming pool, games room, and all sorts of other things.

For these single new employees, once the headquarters building is opened, it is completely possible to live here for a long time.

The new headquarters building is also very important for those who have already started a family.

Now they are all working in the Universal Grand View, although this is also a very decent office building, but the forced style is still a little worse after all.

When it comes to Shimmer Studios, there is a strong sense of pride in every employee, and a new headquarters building will undoubtedly inspire that pride even more.

Just like Zhong Ming in his previous life, if someone asks you where you work, you say that so-and-so office building will be very unavailable, and if you say that you work at Tencent headquarters, you will instantly gain a lot of envious eyes.

After the building is completed, these people can absentmindedly take a photo of the blue sky and white clouds at lunch and send it to a circle of friends, and then "accidentally" expose a corner of the headquarters building in the photo, and complete a low-key pretend.

Therefore, these employees are more anxious than Zhong Ming himself.

Recently, the publicity and distribution department of Shimmer Mutual Entertainment has not been idle, and the publicity work of "Attack on Titan" can almost be launched.

……

On the video website, as soon as the promotional video of "Attack on Titan" was released, the number of views skyrocketed, and it soon entered the top 10 of the game division, and then successfully reached the top!

This promotional video is the shortest game Zhong Ming has ever made, only 1 minute long, except for the passionate melody, there are only scenes in the promotional video.

But these clips are so visually striking that players are starting to think about it!

Quiet and peaceful town, laughing people.

Explosions and fires, huge giants that appeared on the periphery of the city walls.

A large hole in the tall city wall was kicked open, and ugly and twisted giants swarmed in.

The people fled in a hurry, but were soon caught by the giants and turned into food.

Despair, fear, separation, or death in the jaws of giants.

The soldiers saluted in unison, punched their left chest with fists, and offered their hearts.

Soldiers use stereoscopic maneuvers to quickly weave through the town and fight terrifying giants.

Eren leaps from the towering walls and slashes at the giant giant!

Finally, the scene freezes on a dancing flag, which is the "Wings of Freedom" of the Survey Corps.

And along with the end of the melody, the title of the game appears on the screen: "Attack on Titan"!

Although it is only a short minute, the amount of information shown in the video is very large, and it also provides players with a lot of imagination!

"A new game from Flame Studios!"

"It's not a sequel to "A Wolf", isn't it?"

"The background of this story is completely incomprehensible, it's not an oriental theme, it's not a western fantasy theme, and I haven't seen the costumes of these characters!"

"Does that mean you're going to fight these giants?"

"Is a new suffering game coming? I'm so excited! ”

"Look at the footage in this video...... Is it a brand new battle mode? ”

After watching this promotional video, the vast majority of players have two mindsets: confusion and anticipation!

The content given in this video is very limited, but in just a few images, it is very attractive, especially the scene of the battle between humans and giants, which left a deep impression on the players.

What's more, after "Wolf", Flame Studios has received high praise from many hardcore players, and many players have speculated that "Attack on Titan" will be another original suffering game, such a game, of course, is worth looking forward to!
