Since it was Mr. Ke's opinion, Gou Chehua didn't say much.

Although in my opinion, this plan is a bit exaggerated.

Everyone's acceptance of terror itself is not high, wouldn't it crack if you always do it like this again......

But when I think about it, the decisions made seem outrageous at first.

But in the end, it was a lot of money.

Either it's counting the money and counting the cramps, or it's the word-of-mouth explosion and the player's hot comments.

It can be seen that Mr. Ke's Taoism is much higher than that of us who are small employees.

Now the people who will question Mr. Ke's decision-making are pure new employees.

"Okay, I'll arrange it, according to the size of this game, it will be done in about half a month." Putting away the proposal, Gou Chehua nodded, and then strode out of the office.

Previously, there were so many elements in "Stardew Valley", and the mechanics were so cumbersome, everyone could finish the work in seven days.

The game wasn't even as big as Stardew Valley, but it gave it a full 15 days.

More than enough!

————

More than ten days passed in a flash.

The news that Ready Player One is about to launch a new horror game has also gone away.

This time, it did not attract the attention of many peer manufacturers.

Horror games, everyone who understands it.

Everyone almost watched the excitement, and the sales volume would not be too high.

On the contrary, there are a few small factories that focus on making horror games, and their attitude towards the number one player launching horror games is a little subtle.

Say happy, happy too.

Although the number one player can only be regarded as below the middle in terms of volume, in terms of performance, the gorgeous record played by his more than a year of development is almost second only to those big factories above the S level, and the S level is unmatched.

Both word-of-mouth and popularity are beating a number of medium-sized companies.

Being able to make horror games has undoubtedly pushed this niche genre to the public.

It belongs to the engraved designer, and the traffic is there.

But on the other hand, everyone is also faintly worried.

"I don't know what the nature of Ready Player One's horror game will be presented this time."

In an online meeting, the executives of four leading companies in the field of terror in China gathered together.

The main topic of discussion is about the new game of Ready Player One.

The one who spoke just now was Lin Xiang, the game director from [Deep Forest Games].

Soon, another general manager from the [Shocking Sea Games] company also spoke.

"Their game project has landed, and it is currently in internal testing, according to the news I found, I heard that it is still based on jump scare."

"That's right......" When the other two company CEOs heard this, their eyes showed some disappointment.

"It seems that after so many years of development in the field of horror games, we still can't break through the ceiling."

"There's no way, the horror part has to be more effective in the text, because you can make up what he thinks is the most terrifying and indescribable creature, but once the horror game finalizes the picture, it locks the upper limit of fear."

"This is just one of them, and the other problem is that the ghost thing naturally has more action, more detail, and the finer the picture, the more scary, but that also means a high cost. With the current market acceptance, who in this room would dare to try high-cost production? ”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Whose money is not blown by the wind, the zombies in Europe and the United States next door often burn tens of millions of dollars to produce Dacheng-level works, thanks to the fact that their player group personality itself tends to be brave and unrestrained.

However, in the current game environment in China, no company dares to put pressure on the future of the entire company and make a big gamble.

If you want to attract investment, people don't look down on horror-themed IPs at all, and they can't dump themselves.

"Alas, I can only hope for the number one player, I hope they can set an example, let this category audience be a little higher, if we can earn a little more, it's not impossible to try to raise the ceiling."

"If it's still jump scare, I guess it's enough to choke...... Don't expect too much. ”

"Anyway, let's take a look when it's on the shelves."

The online meeting, which was not a formal one, ended with a somewhat solemn expression on each side and a future that could not be seen clearly.

And time did not stand still, and continued to stride forward.

So, it came to the day when "Dark Deception" was officially put on sale!

When it was put on the shelves, Kejin deliberately chose it at eight o'clock in the evening.

This is already the maximum tolerance of Kejin.

If it's not to complete regular tasks, it's going to take a bit of heat.

He even wanted to choose the one that hit the shelves in the early morning.

In the middle of the night, the horror game is online! Definitely enough for the underworld!

Tonight, because it was the first day of the new work, the employees tacitly stayed and did not leave, but poured into the conference room.

I want to see the trial reaction of the anchors on the first day, as well as the popularity of the live broadcast room.

Although these indicators are not absolute, they can also reflect a certain level of player acceptance from the side.

Ke Jin also had a whim, and found a chair in the conference room to sit down and watch.

I'm going to sit in person today, and I'm going to see what you can do to make my game kryptonite?

Soon, the projection screen in the conference room was connected to the screen of the shark live broadcast platform.

Gou Chehua took the remote control and chose between several big anchors who were ready to broadcast "Dark Deception".

In the end, under the highest call of the employees, they chose to lock the live broadcast room of Yinzi.

Choosing Yinzi is also very simple.

The main thing is that he will be bragging in high spirits.

“…… It's not that I'm blowing it to everyone, horror games are really a piece of cake for me. ”

"In the early years, about 20 years ago, there was a physics teacher in my middle school, and it was very annoying, you know, because my grades were very bad, and he had a very bad attitude towards me. It's over, he stands on the podium every day and tells us what to believe in science, in order to trick him, I will go to the bookstore every day after school to find those messy supernatural stories, thriller comics, I just read it randomly, and then learned some crooked tricks from the book, and then as soon as he said on the stage that he wanted to believe in science, I scared him, I forgot a little bit about what was going on, but once I remember very clearly, that day I pinched a paper figure and drew a grimace and hung it with a thread, he just turned around from the blackboard, The paper man dangled in front of him, scaring him, and the whole class was laughing, and I was done laughing. ”

"Then he was angry and wanted to invite my parents, and my dad came, and after he came, every teacher had to meet at that time, and then he went to the physics teacher, and I was in the hallway, and I heard him shout in a voice that could be heard on the entire first floor, 'Dong An's parents, I don't accept them!'" Whoever loves to receive will be receiving! Is this still called a student! Will he still be able to go to school? ’”

A past experience caused the barrage to burst into laughter.

"Poofha!"

"There's something in the boss imitating this piece, and I can seem to hear the physics teacher's angry voice."

"The boss was so rigid back then? Draw a paper figure for the teacher, you kid is a little awesome. ”

"Don't look at Brother Yin, he will be happy, he won't be happy after ten years, and then it will be 'Yiyi's parents, I won't accept it!' ”

After some emotional support, Yinzi watched the popularity of the live broadcast room almost pulled up.

So he coughed lightly, put on his headphones, and said with a straight color while clicking on the official website of the number one player: "I said so much, just to prove to everyone that I'm not urging you, I love to watch ghost stories since I was a child!" There are horror antibodies in the body. ”

"If you still don't believe it, then I'll turn off the lights and turn off the lights for the whole live broadcast."

As she spoke, Yinzi ran to turn out the lights in the room.

When he boarded, the entire live broadcast room was pitch black, and the outline of Yinzi's face was outlined by the light from the computer screen.

The barrage was unhappy.

"! Don't, you're not afraid of us! ”

"Please, turn on the lights, and feel safe."

"Pinch Mom, I'm most afraid of horror games...... If you don't like to watch the boss's live broadcast, I really won't watch it, and you still turn off the lights now......"

Yinzi glanced at the barrage, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled.

Piece of cake!

I'm just turning off the lights, I haven't done anything yet.

That's what scares you out?

And soon, the game was downloaded and installed.

Yinzi just clicked on the game interface.

"Wow!"

A muffled sound of a drum is heard, accompanied by an unsettling rustling noise, and a close-up of a cracked bloody mouth appears on the right side of the UI.

The sudden impact of the picture made Yinzi lean back slightly.

Soon, the four big characters of "Dark Deception" slowly emerged with a strange sense of distortion, and the sound effect of the mouse swiped even a few selectable buttons like the sound of sharp fingernails scratching glass.

"Knock ......" Yinzi swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a moment and got up again, "It's too dark in the room, let's turn on the light, otherwise you won't be able to see anything clearly." ”

The barrage was suddenly happy.

"Don't, you're afraid of us!"

"Please, turn off the lights, it's too bright and you're playing some horror games!"

"Brother Yin, don't panic, there are so many brothers in the live broadcast room accompanying you!"

"Is there a possibility, I mean if, there is no living person in the boss's live broadcast room, including me."

"Grass! Stop it! I was scared when I was told about it! ”

Under the strong request of the water friends in the live broadcast room, Yinzi still chose to retain the atmosphere of turning off the lights.

But what made him feel a little reassured.

The game's opening UI is quite bluffing.

But after entering the game, I felt okay.

At the beginning, a white-haired woman in a black robe will appear, who will identify herself as Bills, and will start by talking a lot to the player's horn.

To the effect that the main lawyer, named Doug, is here to repent and seek redemption from the follies he had done before.

But before he can grant his wish, he needs to collect the soul fragments of the dead for Bills.

The shards are scattered throughout eight different scenes, each with a different nightmare monster.

"Okay, I'm pretty much there. Generally according to the urine nature of this horror game, I must jump out of a grimace from time to time to scare people, and I'm basically immune to this. ”

As he spoke, Yinzi had already appeared on the first floor of a splendid villa hall.

Inside the hall, there are eight sealed portals.

Soon, Beers, dressed in black robes but with a slender build, appeared at the first portal entrance on the left side of the hall.

While telling the protagonist about the danger he is about to face, he opens the sealed portal for him.

The red glow lights up behind the door, signaling that the player is now ready to enter.

Inko manipulated the character to the portal, and then turned her face to look at Bills, who was close at hand.

I have to say that this guy has a really good figure, he looks like an ordinary black robe, but the chest is a hollow design like a deep V evening dress, only two pieces of muslin are crossed and bundled, which sets off the chest round and full.

Yinzi looked at it twice, and then heard Bills speak: "Time waits for no one, let's go quickly." ”

The barrage is also surging.

"I think Ms. Beers is right!"

"Miss Beers' words make a lot of sense / Doghead"

"This black robe is so white, and this portal is so big!"

"Brother Yin, don't look at it, wait until the ghost knocks on your door, Nana knocks on your door first."

Wait for Yinzi to manipulate the character and step into the portal.

When I came to the first level, the style of painting suddenly changed!

The player appears at the counter of a hotel room, which is dimly lit, with many overhead lights flickering on and off as if they were out of contact.

The overall layout of the hotel guest room floor is also like a labyrinth, with several corridor entrances, all of which are closed doors at a glance, and countless corners can be seen.

It was a stark contrast to the resplendent hall just now.

Yinzi knows why the UI looks quite scary at the beginning, and it eases up after entering the game.

Because the horror has been numb, the horror will ease you down, make you feel as if you are safe, and then give you some stimulation!

The terrifying atmosphere was instantly pulled up!

At this moment, the designer has a good grasp of the player's psychology.

At this point, according to Bills' tips.

The protagonist picks up a tablet device that shows the general layout of the entire hotel and the location of the soul crystal.

There is also a total number of crystals on the tablet, a total of 289 crystals.

All the player needs to do is collect all the crystals on this labyrinthine guest room floor to clear the level.

In addition to this, in the lower right corner of the game screen, a heart rate meter is displayed.

After looking at the introduction, Yinzi understood.

This computer is not for the player, but from the character, allowing the player to intuitively determine what situation they are currently in.

It will stay around 80 when you walk slowly, and it will soar to 120 when you run, and if you are caught up by a monster, it will start to soar continuously, and the closer the monster gets, the faster your heart beats!

Yinzi is probably proficient in the operation.

The operation of this game is very simple, it is nothing more than moving backwards and forwards, left and right, shifting and running, and then pressing the mouse wheel to instantly switch the perspective to the back.

Trotting forward two steps, instantly absorbing the purple crystals on the ground in front of you.

The collection of crystals on the slab has also been reduced from 289 to 288

"It's okay, don't be afraid, isn't this just 3D Pac-Man, and the map, this game is not as scary as you imagined. You can see my heart rate has been stable at 80+."

After the voice fell, Yinzi began to operate.

After playing for a while, he felt that the game really didn't seem to be too difficult.

And the horror aspect seems to be the same thing.

It's nothing more than that the picture is a little gloomy, and the corridor of this hotel room itself is not wide, giving people a claustrophobic and narrow psychological hint, which will deepen the tension.

But after getting used to it, it got a lot better.

Just when Yinzi gradually adapted to the environment and began to trot around to collect.

"Oh Deng~!"

Suddenly, in the headphones, which had been quiet, the rapid and nervous piano background music suddenly sounded!

Inko was taken aback.

Soon, as the piano keys landed more and more densely and quickly, the music was chaotic, and there were a lot of bass black keys mixed in it, so that the overall soundtrack atmosphere continued to be shrouded in oppression!

"Grass your brother, this soundtrack is doing something!" Yinzi suddenly couldn't hold back.

The soundtrack isn't as melodic and creepy as traditional horror games, which deliberately scares players.

Instead, it will become more and more intense as the player continues to run, and the rhythm will become more intense, and it will also start adding dull drums to it.

Oppress!

Inko finally thought about it.

This music always gives people a strong sense of oppression! It's not there to scare you, it's to keep your nerves tense! There was even one thought left in my mind, run!

Just like when you hear dynamic music, you can't help but want to shake your legs, the rapid music in "Black Bullying" seems to run forward for no reason as long as it doesn't stop for a moment!

And just as Yinzi spread her legs and ran to collect crystals, she followed the map to the corner of the next corridor.

"Twitter!!"

Suddenly, a hideous-looking toy monkey came out of the corner as if it had been waiting for a long time!

When the two met around the corner, the strange-looking monkey opened its bloody mouth, let out an uneasy laugh, and pounced in an instant!

"it!" Yinzi was already pressed by this low and rapid music, but now he suddenly saw a strange face rushing towards him, only to feel a cool air from his head to his heels, and he was scared and shivered.

The heart rate in the lower right corner also soared at this moment, from the original continuous maintenance at about 120, to 180+ in an instant!

The audience in the live broadcast room was also frightened by this face-to-face jump.

The barrage is densely surging.

"I'll you! Pinching my mother's cold hair for Lao Tzu is scared to stand up! ”

"Chill Hair? Lao Tzu's whole body was frightened! ”

"I wasn't scared by the monkeys, but mainly by the yelling of Yinzi......

"This is more than the form of the game is mainly jump scare, which I can guess from the layout of the rooms on this map, there are corners everywhere, but when it really appears, I don't know why it will be scared out, it's weird."

"Me too, I'm obviously mentally prepared, but when I jump my face, my heart will tremble, is there a horror game big hand to answer it?"

"Horror veteran players don't understand it either, let's take a look."

There are different opinions about the barrage, but in the game, Yinzi seems to have been stimulated by the startle just now, and the on-the-spot reaction speed is instantly off the charts! When you press the mouse wheel, the character you control turns straight to the reverse run!

"Cenima, as far as my brother's reaction is concerned, you can say it's not fast!" Yinzi took a few deep breaths to suppress his panicked emotions, and did not forget to urge a word.

didn't wait long for him to finish blowing.

Yinzi found a problem.

The monkey didn't wait for the player somewhere in the room to come and scare the player.

Instead, after a pounce misses, it will directly follow the path of the player's escape!

He had been running out for more than ten seconds, but the shrill roar of the monster chasing behind him kept coming from the earphones!

And that's not all.

If it is said that the BGM that originally sounded in the process of collecting crystals was just rapid and intense.

Then the BGM when being chased by monsters at this time will be transformed into an exciting style!

The piano player seems to be playing the keys and smoking, the rhythm is getting faster and faster, the drum beat is getting denser and denser, and the sense of oppression is getting more and more!

In addition to musical performance.

The protagonist will start panting constantly, and his heartbeat will become more and more intense!

The overall game screen is also shown, and the screen will begin to shake slightly, so as to show the tension of the fugitives themselves.

All the elements piled up, so that what originally seemed like a game of Pac-Man gameplay suddenly turned into a terrifying escape with a strong sense of oppression!

Imagine a dimly lit labyrinthine of narrow hotel corridors full of guest rooms, with corners as far as the eye can see, each of which represents the unknown.

And a monster roars and chases after you, orderly but mixed with a hint of chaos, and the piano seems to strike in your heart every time.

I don't know what will happen to others.

At least he felt that his nerves had been tense, as if he was about to run out of breath, all the horror games he had played before had never given him such a great sense of oppression!

"Grass, you brother! How long will this last! I can't stand it anymore! I'm going to blow up with pressure!! Yinzi screamed and ran all the way, going around in circles in the huge hotel maze.

Some of the paths he had even turned several times, and the crystals on the ground had already been picked up.

But the sound of the monster's dense footsteps was always lingering in his ears, and Yinzi couldn't judge how far this monster was behind him, so he could only run forward vigorously.

And finally, Yinzi turned around and came to a relatively narrow straight walkway.

After running out for some distance.

He quickly turned his mouse to see how far away the monkey monster was from him.

It's not a problem to run around like this.

A glance.

I saw that the monkey monster was about seven or eight rooms away from him, grinning bloody and staring at the terrifying and weird eyes, screaming all the way towards Yinzi!

The sense of oppression is directly full!

Yinzi hurriedly turned her head and ran as she collected the crystals in this corridor.

I didn't run a few steps.

When she looked back to see the distance, Yinzi's pupils trembled suddenly.

I saw the monkey who was still seven or eight rooms away from him.

In an instant, it was three or four rooms away.

When he turned around for the third time to confirm the location of the monster, Yinzi only felt that the hairs on his body stood upside down!

The terrifying-looking monkey was right behind him, almost face to face!

"Ahh You me off!! Get out of my computer!! Yinzi screamed in panic, where did he dare to look back, and quickly switched back to the perspective and ran all the way forward to kill his life.

And at this moment, the narrow corridor has run to the camera, the next corner.

"Wow!"

The second monkey monster sprang straight out of the shadows, its ugly face almost pressed against the screen.

Yinzi, who was already under pressure throughout the whole process, had almost no defense, and he didn't expect that there would be a second monkey.

He had no way to fight back, so he could only be surrounded by monkeys in a panicked scream.

The animation of the jump kill is also presented, taking away the first drop of the protagonist's blood!

The picture fell into total darkness.

The background music also came to an abrupt end.

Silence suddenly returned from the fierce chase just now.

Yinzi's eyes widened for a long time and she didn't come back to her senses, and she could even hear her own violent heartbeat.

The live broadcast room exploded directly!

The barrage boiled and poured like boiling water.

"Damn!! Does this Nima dare to do a little more exciting?? ”

"The boss really scared me when he turned around a few times, the distance between the original seven or eight doors, there were only three or four rooms left when I turned my head, and then I turned my head and put it directly to my face! At that time, Lao Tzu's scalp was numb!! ”

"Is it the monster speeding up? How do you move so fast in an instant? ”

"It's not accelerating.,It should be that the boss needs to press the W key when he runs forward.,But after switching perspectives, press W and run in both directions with the monkey monster.,So at this time, you have to press the S button to run back.,But the boss's perspective switch is not so skillful.,After a delay, it became a slow walk.,After a few times, I was caught up by the blame.。

"Hell...... I feel like the pressure is bursting when I watch it in the live broadcast room, not to mention that the boss is playing in person......"

"Kebao's game is too exciting! It's not a horror or not, but the excitement of the various sound effects and visual effects environment after the atmosphere is full, you have no means to fight back, you can only bury your head and run hard, and the monster will continue to chase you throughout the whole process......"

"Horror game veteran players say their thoughts, I have a product, if other horror games on the blue star are players and ghosts playing hide and seek, ghosts sometimes come out coldly to scare you, then this game is undoubtedly a true interpretation of what it means to be chased by ghosts...... There's nothing to breathe a sigh of relief from the start of the game until you've collected all the crystals, all you can do is run! The designer doesn't play with you those bluffing things, and the whole process is in a high-pressure environment! Nerves continue to tighten! At this time, another face-jumping kill is much more exciting than traditional dinosaurs......"

"Pinch Mom, I don't dare to play this game anyway......"

"Don't talk about you, the number one player die-hard fans have chased me all the way, and they don't dare to play this game......"

Meanwhile.

Ready Player One Inc., in the conference room.

Looking at the live broadcast room, Yinzi still had a palpitating expression.

There are also sailors who are full of "scared" and "so stressed?" "Forget it, I'll give up this game".

Obviously, the game was not very well received.

This scene also made the employees who were originally looking forward to look at each other at this time, not knowing what to say.

There is only one exception.

Kejin took the game's streamer trial reaction into view.

I was in a good mood all of a sudden.

Hahahahaha!

You Blue Star players also have today!

What you want is the reaction of players who are afraid to play!

Pretty! I love to watch it!

"Director Gou, zoom in, enlarge the screen a little more!" Ke Jin was overjoyed and said loudly.
