The divination system has been figured out, but it has not been tested.

To be precise, it has not been formally tested for code reliability and stability, and Chen Ba, Xiao Lu and others have tested it several times in private.

Naturally, everything works fine!

For this result, Chen Ba was not surprised at all, and even had no waves in his heart.

"Seriously......"

"Why don't we delete this test process? Every time, it doesn't measure the problem, but wastes time. ”

Xiao Lu muttered: "Let's test for a long time, and the number of bugs found is not few, and they are all small bugs, and the really powerful game bugs are all up to players to dig out." ”

What the hell is this?

Every time he does this, Xiao Lu is a little unconfident, and gradually doubts his ability.

He feels that he is not stupid, and he is even smarter than Brother Ba Dong and these old Deng, but he is always criticized by Brother Ba when it comes to testing new games.

Once or twice is nothing, it could be an accident or carelessness.

But this is too many times, every time the studio releases a new game, he has to be scolded once, who can stand this?

"What are you talking about?"

Chen Ba said angrily: "Who will delete the test link?" As a chef, you have to taste salty, and you're so comfortable with a new game? ”

"Someone else's new game, then I may not be at ease, and I will take the time to test it a few more times. But Brother Ba, your new game, I'm absolutely relieved! ”

"Thank you......"

Chen Ba was almost choked to death by Xiao Lu's words, what does it mean that the game he makes is absolutely assured? Does this reassurance mean that there will definitely be bugs?

Beat around the bush and say he's a bug maker, when he can't hear it, right?

One way or another.

Playtesting is definitely a process that can't be cut, and it has to be kept whether it's useful or not.

Although in Tianba Studio, the job of testing new games and looking for potential bugs is most likely to be in vain, but what if the blind cat encounters a dead mouse?

The test still has to be tested, and the classic joke of ordering fried rice in a bar needs to be passed on!

Of course.

Xiao Lu is indeed not easy, because during the test, he wants to find out potential game bugs, and the difficulty is too high.

After all, the studio has limited manpower, and Chen Ba can't throw all the responsibility for the unknown bugs in the game to him. The reason why he scolded and criticized him was purely because he had high expectations of him and hoped that he would make progress.

"Play workplace PUA, right?"

Xiao Lu didn't eat this, rolled his eyes and said: "You pay the salary, of course you have the final say, who made us just a poor and helpless worker?" ”

"Alright, let's test the game."

Chen Ba couldn't stand his pitiful appearance, waved his hand and said, "I won't scold you this time, as long as you don't cry in fear." ”

Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village is a scary game, especially when the outsourced eerie music is added, the atmosphere is simply amazing!

Have you ever watched a horror movie?

Before the weird and evil appeared, was there a particularly depressing, drumbeat and dense music?

That's right!

The game music of "Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village" is also the same style as a horror film, combined with the ultra-realistic picture of the dream building engine, the sense of atmosphere and substitution can only be described in six words: cold sweat all over the body!

But the game isn't all about the good.

The graphics, eerie music, and magical divination system are certainly eye-catching, but the game's level design and puzzle-solving elements are a bit awkward compared to similar games.

The plot of the game is divided into several parts.

In the first part, the protagonist Hu Xi returns to the village, notices that the people in the village are strange, and then investigates. In the second part, the clues are upgraded, and the mystery is further expanded, and the other villagers are left to explore.

The third part is the most terrifying and unacceptable part, during which there are many shots and images that may make people have nightmares after watching them, reaching the level of physical discomfort.

"How is the blood black?"

"It must be black!"

The artist in charge of this part explained: "On the one hand, red blood is difficult to pass the review, so it can't be used in primary colors. On the other hand, the black blood also highlights the anomaly in the game, suggesting that these villagers are no longer human. ”

The first reason is easy to understand.

In order to avoid the red line, many games now do this, blue blood and green blood are endless, and it is difficult to see blood stains of normal color anyway.

As for the second reason, Chen Ba thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.

According to the plot setting and game background, these villagers in Sandong Village are actually the "living dead" who have entered the body and lost their lives.

Every time the protagonist goes out late at night to look for clues, the mysterious monsters he encounters are actually the villagers who have revealed their original forms.

From this point of view, it is understandable that the bloodstains seen in the village after killing these monsters are black, after all, these creatures can no longer be considered alive.

In addition to the fact that the blood is black, the monsters in the game have other characteristics, that is, their bodies are somewhere between "solid" and "imaginary".

What does this mean?

It means that these villagers of Sandong Village, after they appear in their original form at night and turn into monsters that have lost their reason and emotion, their normal attacks may be ineffective.

"Daddy said you have to use magic against magic! Therefore, in the game, the props that restrain these evil creatures also have some metaphysical mysteries. ”

Chen Ba explained: "For example, the boy's urine! ”

"Ah?!!h

As soon as these words came out, the entire office was instantly stunned, and everyone looked at Brother Ba to confirm whether they had heard it wrong.

"Ahem, it's strange to pee a child?"

"Not unusual!"

Luo Ji shook his head and said, "What we're curious about is that Brother Ba won't let players pee first when they encounter evil monsters when playing games, right?" ”

Everyone: "......"

Wow! This game is amazing!

Thinking of an evil creature chasing after him, the protagonist unhurriedly unbuckled his belt, then urinated on the spot and splashed his backhand on the evil one, the scene was simply beautiful.

"It's pretty much what you think, but it's not that outrageous."

Chen Ba explained: "It probably means that the protagonist has to go to the toilet once in a while, and then collect his own child urine to defend himself when exploring at night. ”

Child's urine is also limited.

Even if the protagonist produces and sells himself, it is impossible to have as many as he wants, and the quantity must be well controlled, ensuring that players have certain means of self-defense, but not to easily clear the level with the help of props.

"I see......"

After learning that the protagonist could not infinitely make the so-called boy urine protector, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Let's go!

Although this item sounds like a lot, according to folklore, it probably works.

"In addition to the child's pee, there are other props in the game, which can also help the protagonist tide over difficulties at critical times."

Chen Ba tapped the table with a pen, and then emphasized: "And these self-defense props, the source needs to be well designed, in short, it can't be too widespread, and the difficulty of obtaining it can't be too low." ”

A more common approach should be to design several treasure chests or secret rooms on the map, and then the player solves the puzzle to obtain the key, open the treasure chest or secret room, and obtain the items in it.

It can also be a quest reward!

Anyway, there are many ways to choose from, and it is not a fixed way to obtain it, you just need to control the output of props and maintain a state of "not very enough".

That's how you can keep the tension going.

It's the same as a horror game where the number of bullets is severely limited even if the protagonist is equipped with a pistol.

Otherwise, get the gun.,BiubiuBiu drove the Musou to sweep away all the evil monsters.,The tense and exciting game atmosphere suddenly becomes a casual zombie.。

"That's pretty much it."

After telling him about the design and output of self-defense props, Chen Ba then asked: "I plan to price "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" at 68 yuan, do you think it is appropriate?" ”

"It's okay, it's acceptable."

"It's a little expensive, but compared to similar games, our map is really big, and it's worth the price."

Opinions vary.

However, the common denominator is that everyone agrees on the price of 68 yuan, and believes that the volume and map scale of "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" are worthy of this price.

Expensive or not.

Some horror games are even charged by "chapters", the first chapter sells for twenty or thirty yuan, and the second and third chapters sell for so much money in the form of DLC......

These games, in terms of volume, are not half the size of "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village", their fees are really black, and the fees are charged according to the plot chapters are quite speechless.

"Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" is destined not to engage in these crooked ways, and the game must be released in one go after it is finished.

"Don't you do trials and pre-sales?"

"Not this time!"

Chen Ba shook his head and said that "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" is different in nature, and it is a typical horror plot game, which focuses on experiencing the plot.

Don't do any trial or pre-sale of this kind of game, isn't that a chance to give players a spoiler!

Although "Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village" is not afraid of spoilers with the blessing of the divination system, there is no need to ask for trouble. The plot can be kept secret for as long as it can, and leaking it in advance is purely nothing to do.

……

does not engage in early trial play, nor does it engage in any pre-sale breaking activities, many players do not know the game "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village".

This does not include Ice Coke.

As one of the top 100 UP owners in the Thunderbolt game area, with 2.784 million fans, Ice Cola's sources are not ordinary.

He knows the news of "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village".

Not only did he know the game, he even knew that it was a horror game.

As for why he knew the news, it had to be said to a friend who owned a hot pot restaurant in Jiangning.

Coincidentally, the store opened by a friend of Ice Coke is not far from the location of Tianba Studio, and it is also the place where they often go to dinner.

When a friend gave them a table of food, he happened to hear them talking about a new game, so he remembered the name of the game and turned around and told Ice Coke.

Ice Coke has a great work ethic.

Although he learned in advance that there was a powerful news that was enough to post a video to earn millions of views and attention, he did not leak the news.

Selling a friend for money is not very moral, and this source is a bit embarrassing to say, so I just stuffed it in my heart and didn't say anything.

However, secrecy is secrecy, as an UP master in the game area, it is his nature to chase hot spots, and it is also the basis for his survival.

"Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" is hidden so deeply, no one can get first-hand news, and when the game is released, there will definitely be a lot of bloggers, marketing accounts and UP owners to rub off on this popularity.

Don't!

Bing Cola also wanted to rub off on this popularity, but he estimated that with the attention of Tianba Studio, it seemed that he didn't need to add icing on the cake or send charcoal in the snow.

And......

This kind of horror game is basically based on plot experience, and if you make a long video, you may be reported and removed from the shelves by the game developer.

This is not surprising!

Once upon a time in a game like "Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village" appears on the Internet, it will most likely affect the growth of sales.

After all, there are more people watching the video, and people follow your video to clear the game once, which is equivalent to playing it yourself, who will buy the game?

Because of this, Ice Cola tried to write a sincere email to Brother Ba, asking about the feasibility of this matter.

Soon he received a reply.

Brother Ba told him in the email that the popularity and traffic of "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" can be eaten as much as he wants, and they will not report those videos that are suspected of spoilers, nor will they interfere.

In Brother Ba's words, spoilers are spoilers! "Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village" is not afraid of spoilers, I wish there were more videos, the better!

The top 100 UP owners like Ice Coke don't need money to make video ads for their games for free, and it's too late for them to be happy, so how can they stop it?

"Not afraid of spoilers?"

As soon as these words came out, Ice Cola was immediately full of curiosity about "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village".

Isn't it that this is a story-oriented horror game, why is this horror game not afraid of spoilers? Is there a secret?

Brother Ba didn't say it, and he didn't dare to ask.

Since Brother Keba dares to say such a thing, it means that "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" is really not afraid of spoilers, or spoilers will not affect players' desire to buy this game.

That's kind of fun!

Ice Cola searched the Internet, but I didn't find any latest news about "Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village", and there were occasionally a few breaking news posts, but there was no real material, at most I knew the name of a game.

However, in the Tianba community, he swiped a post from an uncle who claimed to be "Brother Ba's family", saying that the new game of Tianba Studio will be equipped with a "very metaphysical" game mechanism.

"Metaphysical mechanics?"

This word, not to mention that other players in the community can't understand it, even Ice Coke can't understand it, what is the metaphysical mechanism?

Mechanism, metaphysics?

How did these two words come together, is this where Brother Ba's confidence lies in "not afraid of spoilers"?

Ice Coke, who couldn't figure it out, glanced at the reply at the bottom of this post, and found that everyone was questioning the identity of the landlord and suspecting that he was purely making up nonsense.

The landlord was angry and posted a screenshot of the chat.

In the picture, Brother Ba affectionately calls him his in-laws and says that he wants to be his child's godfather......

"The chat record is a piece of evidence, and Brother Ba also asked me to V him 50 and named me the leader of the Cattle Herding Sect!"

Netizens didn't believe him, but Bing Cola vaguely felt that the landlord was not deceiving, and this chat record was most likely true!

After all, Brother Ba's avatar, he has seen it, is indeed this "no borrowing money......
