Chapter 51: Strange NPCs? My brother is lost! (Please order first!) )
[Don't spoil spoilers for readers who have played~]
A different point of view from the barrage.
Yinzi, who has been playing for about ten minutes, thinks this game is a bit ......
It's a little hard to put into words.
Although it's not interesting, the content is not rich, and the plot is too abstract.
But it gave him a sense of tranquility that no other game could bring.
After many years of live broadcast career, Yinzi had to accept some high-popularity games, although he may not like those game types, but everyone loves to watch them, he still has to rack his brains to broadcast, trying to find the effect of the show.
And this game gave him a sense of relaxation that he hadn't seen for a long time.
It was a comfort that slowly emanated from the inside out of the soul.
There is no linear goal in the whole game, unlike other games that come up and throw you a task, and then one after another, the player's goal has changed from playing the game to completing the task, and the game has no guidance except for placing a mountain in the distance.
It doesn't matter if you go climbing, if you go back, if you wander around and see the scenery.
Mountain, right there.
This seemingly clueless gameplay gives players a bit of relaxation.
At least I can play the game on my own terms.
Secondly, there is no copywriting and dialogue, which is also a design concept that Yinzi agrees with.
This game, judging from the process experience of more than ten minutes in the first level.
What the designer wants to highlight is a loneliness.
The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.
Except for the sound of the wind and sand, there is no living creature in the whole world except himself.
It's lonely, it's just the right amount of quiet, and it's a relaxing journey where you can confide in your heart.
Occasionally sandboarding, occasionally activating ribbons to dance in the air.
At this time, if there is a narration and someone speaks, it destroys this subtle sense of loneliness.
The popularity of the live broadcast room continues to decline.
It doesn't matter if you go to sleep, you still don't like to watch this game.
At least Yinzi feels that this game is quite to her liking.
I'm tired of eating big fish and meat every day, and it's not bad to bring some light food occasionally.
Therefore, he intends to continue playing.
"From this mural, we can see something, the mountain in the distance should be the origin of all things in this world, and the white light swaying from the cracks in the mountains has turned into a QR code. But this QR code we just played, it is not difficult to see that it is a kind of energy, the red ribbon has a QR code style charm, we pick up the independent QR code can also increase the length of the scarf. ”
"After this kind of energy spreads the heavens and the earth, fish, birds, and forests begin to be born, including those creatures like us, but they are wearing white robes, and it is not clear what the specific designer wants to express."
Yin Zi made a short interpretation according to the way you draw and I guess the game, without over-introducing his own thoughts, just declaratively expressing the general content of the painting.
The barrage drifted by, but because the audience base was getting smaller and smaller, there was no snack, all of them were scattered words such as 'easy to solve', 'okay', 'Brother Yin, go to the next level' and the like.
Soon, Yinzi manipulated the character to come to the second level.
Walking out of the Hongda castle corridor behind the small stone monument in the first level, the white light faded out.
The hue in front of me has changed.
Different from the earthy yellow quicksand of the first level.
This time, it's a light pink desert! Even the sunlight seems to be gentle.
Blackie glides out of a sand dune at a rapid pace, revealing larger sand dunes in front of it.
The sand dunes are continuous, intertwined one after another, like soft marshmallows.
The sun is shining inch by inch, as if the 'marshmallow' is coated with a layer of powdery white enticing frosting.
"Wow! It's beautiful! ”
"Screenshot! I can really use this as a wallpaper! ”
"Woo woo, the design of this level of the game is so gentle! He's so good! ”
As the sailors who want to watch the effect of the show gradually withdraw from the show, most of the people who still stay to watch it are girls or sailors with slower temperaments.
As soon as the second level screen appeared, it quickly attracted their attention.
Even the old men couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Compared with the depressive tonal composition of the first level, this level is obviously much lighter, and even the background sound is soothing in a timely manner.
Although the gameplay has not changed much, QR codes are constantly collected from the ruins buried in the desert along the way.
Then activate the red ribbon to make yourself fly faster, so that you can rush to the high mountain that towers in the distance.
Just a few minutes later, halfway through the second level, I could even see a huge and magnificent building suspended in mid-air.
At the very top, an orthogonal stone monument similar to the first level stands, seemingly guiding the player to complete the exploration of the second level once they reach this point.
Right now.
Suddenly.
On the right side of Inko's computer screen, an arc of refracted edge white light appeared.
The highlighted hint made Yinzi can't help but move the camera.
The next moment, Yinzi's eyes suddenly lit up!
Someone!
There's a guy who looks exactly like his character.
It was also pitch black, but it was covered by a wide red robe, revealing only a dark and expressionless face, and two legs like radish spikes.
Standing stupidly on top of the pink sand dunes not far away, motionless like a king.
"Yo, finally arrange for me to press batch C?" Yinzi said.
Even he didn't know why, and suddenly the corners of his mouth grinned.
Maybe it's the sudden companionship of a lonely journey, as if Robinson met his Friday.
Yinzi was afraid that this was just a mirage deliberately designed by the designer, so he hurriedly manipulated the character to run towards the stupid boy.
After running and running past, Yinzi said hello.
"Hello, brother."
Of course, the way it is presented in the game is that he gently accumulates his strength, and then the character model begins to expand into a semi-circular white transparent arc.
But soon, what made Yinzi's heart flutter lightly was.
The NPC responded to himself.
The same accumulation of force with itself as the center of the circle emitted a soft arc of light waves, as if in response to Yinzi's 'greeting'
This scene made the corners of the mouths of the sailors look up inexplicably.
They accompanied Yinzi on a lonely journey of more than ten minutes.
And now, another little guy has appeared in the vast desert, who will replace them and begin to accompany Yinzi on the next journey in a real sense.
It looks silly and stupid, but when standing next to Yinzi, I feel a little warm and loving inexplicably.
"Come on, press C, please show your mission guidelines." Yinzi said, but sighed in her heart.
I thought that this game would be free from vulgarity, but the result still can't be maintained the whole time.
This is still an NPC that sent a mission, and the next thing is probably to guide the player to do the task.
Think about it, too, if the game played the same way the whole time.
Can't keep players at all.
Only games with a mission system or objectives can keep players focused and willing to experience the game more deeply.
It's inevitable that designers have to eat, and companies have to make money.
But soon, Inko realizes that she seems to be wrong for this game.
This NPC did pop up though.
But......
There doesn't seem to be any attempt to send him a task.
It's not about directing the player somewhere.
It doesn't even seem to understand its own program.
Even some of the basic operations are stumbling, and it looks like an iron-clad ratio.
He fell from the sky within two steps, landed right on the slope of the dune, and then tumbled all the way to the dusty face.
Patting the dust on his body, he stood up again, and looked in the direction of Yinzi with a blank face, as if he was asking for help, constantly emitting white light waves with short wave frequencies of 'wie', 'wie', and 'wie'.
"Cenima, is he mentally retarded? This program stinks too. Yinzi's face was full of black lines.
But the live broadcast room was amused by this unexpected scene.
"Hahahaha, I thought this NPC was Yinzi's guide, and Yinzi was its father, so I had to teach it from scratch."
"Silly and cute NPCs, it feels like a deliberate design by the carveyard designer? In this lonely journey, it not only relieves the loneliness of the player, but also adds a little more fun. ”
"Although the overall look is not much cool and fun, it is this faint, looming beauty, whether the scenery is good or the people, all of which make me feel a little lingering."
There are a little more barrages than just now.
"Okay, who's going to make me helpful." Yinzi sighed and walked up to the NPC: "Look, it's flying like this!" ”
As he spoke, he made a presentation.
The red ribbon on the side, after accumulating strength, let go, Xiao Hei's steps are light, step on the soft ribbon in a few steps, and with the blessing of the power of the QR code, he jumps!
Then the wide red robe stirred up with the wind, and the whole person also took off.
The little red robe behind him did the same.
Walk over to the ribbons that stand upright like aquatic plants.
Charge.
Then take off!
Both of them successfully flew into the sky, one after the other wandering above the pink ocean-like desert, the two of them cast shadows refracted in the sun, playing like two small black tadpoles on the beach.
"Beep beep, get ready to land ahead! Brother received please answer! Yinzi looked at the length of his scarf, which had become shorter and shorter in the short flight, and he was almost strangled at the moment, obviously lacking energy.
He muttered to himself.
At the same time, he pressed the charge button, emitting a short-wave arc of white light, signaling his younger brother to follow him.
This desert is very big, and if it gets lost, it is still two to say whether it can be found with this stupid logic program of artificial retardation.
As a result, what happened in the next moment made Yinzi's eyes widen.
The short wave he emitted slowly spread out in the shape of a sphere, and the moment it touched the NPC behind him, it rippled like a ripple.
In an instant, the NPC's scarf, which was already low on energy, was quickly filled!
The NPC also followed suit, emitting an interactive wave.
Similarly, I also replenish the energy for Yinzi who is about to land.
In this way, Xiao Hei controlled by Yinzi first fell to the ground abruptly, and then the energy was filled and flew close to the ground for a while, straight up!
The wide red robe hunted in the wind, as if playing a piece of wind in the air.
"I test? And how to play? Yinzi was stunned, and the next time she was low on energy, she tried again.
"Okay, this NPC turned out to be my power bank, and I can also help him charge it. That way, we can both fly all the way without our feet touching the ground! ”
The feeling of flying is wonderful, and the number one player has polished the game to perfection, not only making it as realistic as possible when sandboarding.
Even when flying, the well-controlled lens expands and shrinks, the windward feeling of the red robe swinging in the wind, and the delicate and realistic sound effects.
The player's sense of immersion is instantly filled, as if he is really like a bird soaring in mid-air.
And that's not all.
When the two little red robes in the picture finally learn to rely on each other, each with the help of each other's energy, constantly flying high and low in mid-air.
In the desert below, more and more red ribbons burst out of the earth, as if they had been given vitality, and began to float into the sky one after another.
A single red ribbon has little power and can only be at the mercy of the wind.
But when they imitated the two little red robes and began to cooperate with each other.
More and more red ribbons form a large red kite!
Closely follow the two little red robes.
Fly with you!
The moment when countless kites flew beside her, Yinzi only felt a tremor in her heart, as if something was the softest place that had been touched.
At this time, the music also starts to become cheerful, and the melody is mixed with the fresh vitality rushing up!
That's a beautiful symbol.
Later, Yinzi tried to find that she could actually step on these small kites.
You don't even need to consume energy on top of it, and you can fly faster!
The camera slowly zoomed out at this time, and under the warm sun's skyline, two little red robes each stepped on the kite under their feet.
Above the sea of pink quicksand, a pleasant volley soars through the air.
Everything is wordless.
The scenery is leisurely and the tunes are melodious.
Looking at the scene in front of the camera.
There was an unspeakable emotion churning in Yinzi's heart.
"It's so healing......" Inko sighed softly.
In this situation, he suddenly felt tired and stressed, and they were all quietly released.
Yinzi found that what she needed at the moment was not a fun game.
And it is precisely such a healing game that can cleanse the soul.
It can play without being outstanding, it can have a very vague plot, as long as it is beautiful enough and gentle enough.
The player was originally lonely, but at the end of the loneliness, there happened to be such a traveler accompanying him.
Everything was just right.
"The carver's grasp of the player's psychology is also too accurate, whether it is the previous Iwanna, or the later goose and duck killing, including the current wind journey, it really grasps the player from different angles." Yinzi sighed: "He knows how to reconcile too well." ”
The barrage also began to pour in.
"It's a point! At this moment, the two little red robes are flying in the wind, walking together, isn't this the wind journey! ”
"Woo woo woo, absolutely not!"
"Is this game really only 79? Every frame is a wallpaper-level painting! ”
"No, I can't take it anymore! I'm going to buy one too, and it's a wallpaper launcher! ”
"You may not believe it, but I just refunded this game...... I didn't survive the first level.,I didn't expect there to be an NPC partner in the second level.,This picture and soundtrack,It's really comfortable.,I'll buy it back! ”
As part of the barrage began to gradually move.
The sales of "Wind Journey", which had fallen to the bottom, also began to rebound slowly.
Of course, this alone will not be enough to turn the tide.
A love of appreciating beautiful things is a common trait among people.
But this kind of appreciation, it's enough to see it once on Yinzi's side.
If you play it yourself, it will inevitably be too repetitive.
Therefore, the sales of "Wind Journey" at this time were displayed after the second level of Yinzi.
Less than 1,000 copies were sold.
And the game goes on.
As the wind gradually subsided.
The two little red robes could not continue to soar on the kite.
Yinzi began to borrow strength again, leaning on each other with the NPC, stepping on his left foot and spiraling to the sky with his right foot, and came to the end of the second level, in front of the stone tablet.
Meditating cross-legged in front of the stele, a little bit of light burst out from the scarf that was a little longer than the first level.
Soon, the light flickered and white rays oozed out.
The two red robes that were originally traveling together have also become the one controlled by Yinzi himself.
It was still the same scene just now, the little red robe looked up at the tall white robe in front of him, and the white robe was originally looking at the mountains in the distance.
But after a moment's pause, it slowly turned around and looked at the little red robe.
There seemed to be a shallow smile on the white face, which was completely opposite to the swarthy cheeks of the little red robe.
At the same time, behind the white robe.
In the white light of the crack in the distant mountain, a meteor flew out, piercing the sky.
Then, the hazy picture ends here, and the murals appear one after another.
"This time the mural, it looks as if the red scarf can absorb the energy of the QR code, and then be used by the inhabitants of this world, and many large-scale towers have begun to appear intensively, indicating that the inhabitants of this world have entered the era of high-speed and developed civilization......" Yinzi interpreted the mural a little, and recalled the ruins and ruins that he encountered along the way just now.
Many of the dilapidated and weathered towers were buried under the quicksand.
"Judging from the murals, the original inhabitants are white-robed, but our protagonist is red-robed...... It seems that a series of stories have happened to the residents here. Yinzi said.
The barrage also expressed its position.
"Isn't this a normal plot? But it's too obscure, and it's not a streamer who plays a lot of games like Boss, so it may be difficult for ordinary players to understand, right? ”
"I just took a look, and the game hasn't sold more than 2,000 copies. It's a pity.,If this game makes the plot more intuitive.,Maybe it will sell better.。 ”
"That's right, isn't this wave a mistake by the designer?"
When the barrage was discussed, Yinzi had already begun to burst towards the third level.
This time, the color composition changes again.
From the original pink quicksand, it has become a brilliant golden stream.
The distant sunlight seems to have turned into a setting sun.
At the end of the line of sight, the distant mountain flickered again, bursting out a meteor that pierced the sky and disappeared.
Yinzi, who didn't understand the meaning of the mountain and the meteor that burst out, hit the road again.
What made him feel inexplicably relieved was that the stupid NPC next to him was still following him, like a little brother, not leaving an inch.
The gameplay of the third level remains the same, with no copywriting, no lines, and no quests.
The designer seems to be carrying out the original intention to the end.
Cheerful tunes compared to the second level.
The theme of the third level begins to become intense, and as she collects the QR code to extend the scarf as she moves forward, Inko discovers that the road to this level is almost the entire journey that continues to go down.
It also means that he can enjoy the thrill of sandboarding all the time.
The two little red robes turned on the state of quantum entanglement again.
It's just different from the posture of soaring in mid-air in the second level.
In the third level, the two little red robes slid all the way.
The most impressive scene for the audience is that after sliding into a castle, the original 3D perspective was switched to a fixed horizontal screen, and the camera continued to lock on Xiao Hongpao's body.
On the open-air promenade, the castle columns and arches divide the sunset into sections.
The light danced like a fairy on the golden gravel, which was coated with golden light.
The sunset also quietly climbed above the top of the holy mountain, like a golden wheel, and the gap between the mountains is still tirelessly bursting out of meteors.
Yinzi didn't know what the meteor was, or what it meant to go to the top of the mountain.
But he only knew that he was extremely happy at this time.
This joy is special.
It is different from the sense of improvement obtained by fighting monsters and leveling up.
It's also different from racking your brains to come up with a way to decrypt it.
It's an unprecedented, peaceful sense of satisfaction.
It's like the satisfaction and peace of being able to drink water when you're thirsty and eating when you're hungry.
It's not special, but it's above any feeling, a peace that springs from the depths of the heart.
Especially during this journey, there is a younger brother by her side, which makes Yinzi feel even more satisfied.
But the good times didn't last long.
Right in the next moment.
After the two little red robes crossed a long descending ramp, a deep pit suddenly appeared in front of them!
Unsuspecting, Yinzi rushed into the pit with the NPC.
The camera also took a sharp turn.
The exciting background music stops instantly!
The composition with bright colors and fullness also becomes dim.
Quietly, the little black manipulated by Yinzi shook off the dust on his body and got up from the ground.
Yinzi found a serious problem.
"I'm rubbing! My brother is lost! ”
The NPC who had been by his side since the second level, silently following him.
Gone at this moment!
