Chapter 2: The Dark Forest

"So I'm going to remake the game now?"

Meng Shu blinked, looked at his hands, and the passion in his heart grew.

It seems like... It's not impossible?

I already have all the construction code of this game in my head, plus my own program value of 60, just type it out.

And the four major attributes have all reached 60, so he can be regarded as a versatile talent.

Even the game's art resources are available, which is just a bunch of scattered parts waiting to be assembled.

In that case, then without further ado, give it a try!

Meng Shu sat upright and turned on the computer.

At this moment, the mechanical voice in my head sounded again.

[Ding, the favorite computer has been detected, and the game development engine has been copied to the desktop.] Note that after 30 minutes away from the computer, the engine will uninstall itself, and the unfinished project files will be saved in real time.

Meng Shu was stunned by this voice, and then laughed.

"Yes, yes!"

"I just don't know what kind of game development engine this monkey can use."

As a result, as soon as his voice fell, the mechanical sound of the system sounded again.

[This system focuses on game production, you will use the engine produced by the system to develop games, no need to worry about code, and no BUG problems, and comprehensively reduce the production cost]

[Function 1: Voice/hand typing input Chinese, automatic conversion of the corresponding code]

[Function 2: The code runs automatically and improves the follow-up behavior logic]

[Function 3: The game value will display the reference range, which can be applied or entered arbitrarily]

[Function 4: Adjust character movements, apply 10,000 action materials at will]

[Function 5: One-click conversion of multiple art styles]

[Function 6: 4K high-definition materials can be used arbitrarily]

...

"Anything else?"

After waiting for a minute, the mechanical sound no longer sounded, Meng Shu determined the 6 functions of the engine.

Chinese automatic code conversion?

It's so strong!

Even though he wasn't a programmer before, he knew how hard it was to write code.

If something goes wrong, it takes a lot of time.

Now the development engine produced by the system directly simplifies this difficulty, saving him a lot of effort.

At this time, on the desktop, there is a garbled program with a default icon, and it should be the development engine.

Meng Shu double-clicked and clicked on it, and suddenly a stream of information appeared in his mind.

Here's how to use this engine.

In just a split second, he would!

"This sudden knowledge and proficiency is truly amazing..."

Here's what he had to say.

The development engine is very simple and simple, with a blank interface and buttons for six functions.

Compared with the original world of Unreal Engine, this system engine is very 'simple'.

Now that I have a step-by-step development tutorial for this game in my head, let's try to make it.

Meng Shu's hands were placed on the keyboard.

Although he can type by voice, he still wants to type by keyboard because it makes it easier to correct typos and think slowly, and also organizes the language better.

He's got a demo, so let's make the first level now!

"Dark Forest" is a game, in terms of gameplay experience, not to mention anything else, the sense of blow and exploration are almost full, and some so-called 'big production games' are also beaten in the horror atmosphere.

It has achieved excellent quality of small but fine.

It is a horror game from the perspective of God, telling the story of a forest in a certain country in 1987, for some unknown reason, the forest mutated and corrupted, causing trees to grow wildly, blocking the road, and blocking the sun, so that most of the place was shrouded in darkness.

The forest is inhabited by some of the inhabitants who have been trapped in it due to the mutation of the forest, and have lost contact with the outside world.

Over time, they are gradually infected by a mushroom in the forest, and become mutated creatures such as wild people, fungus people, and centipede people.

And just like that, with the spread of this infectious disease, some even more terrifying beings appeared...

And the player, in it, plays an outside researcher who has lost his memory, and goes deep into this forest to investigate...

Meng Shu remembers that when he played this game back then, he was always shrouded in a tense sense of oppression.

This is a feeling that even supernatural horror games such as "Murder House" and "Face" can't bring him,

"Evil Within" and "Alien Isolation" and "Blair Witch" can give him the same feeling, which is enough to show the atmosphere of the small production "Dark Forest".

The gameplay is relatively mundane, as players have to search for supplies in a dangerous forest during the day and return to a safe house for the night to spend the night.

But the highlight of the game is the spooky events of the night.

Only at night is the most exciting and intimidating part of the game.

The safe house represents allowing players to take a breath, relax, and take a break.

No matter how invincible the monsters outside are, players can relax and adjust their mental state as long as they enter the safe house.

But in Dark Forest, the safe house isn't safe, because it just makes it 'possible' for you to survive.

After evening, the player needs to rush back to the safe house in time, use the resources collected during the day, open the gas furnace, start the generator, close the doors and windows, and...

Pick a room that's easy to defend, hide in a corner, and wait for the day to come, or a miracle strikes...

Because of the forest at night, there will be some 'things' that want to enter the safe house.

They emit a piercing scream of terror from the outside, affecting the player's SAN rating.

They will knock on your door, break through your closed doors and windows, and brute in and hurt you.

They burrow into holes, attack houses, doors open inexplicably, hallucinate, and even ghosts turn off your lights, plunging you into darkness and attacking you through walls.

Compared to the day, the night is the most fun part of the game.

Players who are new to this game will huddle in the corner at night, shivering, afraid to move, and pray for safety until dawn.

Exploring the forest during the day is scary enough, and at night you have to concentrate in a safe house to avoid danger.

That's the beauty of Gloomy Forest.

And such a game, placed in this terrifying barren world, dare not say all, but it should be able to scare most players and contribute to his scare points.

So Meng Shu spent the whole day in front of the computer restoring this game.

After 7 p.m., he exhaled and stretched.

After looking at the computer that about 30% of the game content of the first chapter has been restored, he smiled with satisfaction.

The map size and prologue of the first chapter are not of the same order of magnitude at all.

The prologue is just a hut and a linear path, and the whole is a separate area, and the player can return to the prologue later in the game.

In the first chapter, there are three areas in terms of size.

Each area has a safe house with a different internal structure, as well as various dilapidated buildings, as well as NPCs and some side quests.

The plot of the side quests is also very obscure, and there are different ways to complete them, allowing players to judge and choose for themselves.

This is also one of Meng Shu's favorite ways to play.

Another thing I like is that the map will randomly generate as the player resurrects.

For example, the previous resource points will be randomly moved to other places, so you can only find them again, and it is difficult to back.

However, these game mechanics and gameplay, Meng Shu can perfectly restore them according to the tutorial in his head, and then present them to players in this parallel world, making them scream again and again.

After a whole day of work, he was sure that he could finish the game on his own, and it was just a matter of taking some time.

So he didn't hesitate to post a real demonstration of the game on the country's largest video barrage network.

And then upload the demo that has been locally sinicized to the cloud disk,And paste the link in the introduction。

Finally, put the title -

【Personal development!】 Domestic horror game "Dark Forest" real machine demo, with demo

Then type the introduction:

'You are in the dark of the forest, you have to search for supplies during the day and hide from the terror creatures at night, how many days can you survive, and will you finally be able to leave the forest?' ’

Then, Publish was selected.

Looking at the prompts that were being reviewed, Meng Shu got up and stretched.

The purpose of sending it to the barrage network is to attract attention and get attention.

At the same time, a demo will be presented, so that netizens can download it at will and experience it for themselves.

As for whether he can rely on this to attract investment, he doesn't dare to think about it, after all, this is not a black myth, and he does not have a company or a corporate account.

Therefore, sending it out is just to gain a certain amount of attention and create a foundation for the finished product.

After doing this, his phone suddenly rang.

When I picked it up, it was a V letter from my sister, and there was a simple sentence on it.

[Brother, come to my room.] ]

Meng Shu: ......

He frowned, didn't say anything, left the room and went to his sister's room, knocking on the door.

...

No movement?

Meng Shu frowned again and shouted twice at the door, but still did not respond.

Something must be wrong, right?

You know, she is now recuperating at home because of a broken leg, so there must be something wrong with calling herself over, but now she doesn't react?

Meng Shu no longer hesitated, and directly pushed open the old wooden door in front of him.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance came to my nose.

In the small room, there was no light on, Meng Xiaoran sat on the bed, wearing a VR, smirking at the corners of his mouth, not knowing what he was looking at.

She had waist-length hair and cool clothes, revealing a pair of fair thighs.

The right little foot, on the other hand, was in a plaster cast and could not move.

But it still couldn't stop her left calf from bobbing back and forth.

Seeing this scene, Meng Shu shook his head.

Thankfully, nothing happened.

But what the hell are you looking at...

He knocked on the door, this time, louder than when it was closed.

Meng Xiaoran, who heard the movement, sighed, took off the Bluetooth headset, and opened his mouth without even taking off the VR.

"Ahh Dude! Mom and Dad are working overtime tonight, what are we going to eat at night! ”

Before Meng Shu could answer, the sister spoke again, and her speed was still very fast.

"Eat fried rice? Then I'm going to add two chicken legs. ”

Meng Shu: ......

That's why you called me to your room?

Would it be nice to say no directly on your phone?

Meng Shu shook his head and looked at this younger sister.

It was the first time he had seen her.

In my memory, this younger sister was well-behaved and quiet in middle school, with a small family of jasper.

But when I got to college, I don't know if I released my wildness and became very naughty and wild.

Even if the leg is injured, it is not restful.

But I'm quite sensible, knowing that the situation at home is not good, the economy is tight, and I only eat cheaper foods such as fried rice and fried rice noodles when ordering takeout.

But...

You can't eat more takeout after all, so Meng Shu plans to show her hand and make her appetizing.

"I'll cook tonight."

Meng Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, hurriedly took off the VR, and looked at his brother in surprise.

"Brother, when are you going to cook?"

Looking at the surprised expression of the girl in front of her, Meng Shu smiled.

"I always will, I won't eat takeout today, let's eat it at home, it's clean and hygienic."

Meng Xiaoran was stunned and watched his brother turn away, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, but he was more worried and afraid.

Because...

Can you eat it...
