Creating a zombie in a mountain village terrifies players worldwide.

Chapter 2: The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village and the Horrifying Videotape

Chapter 2: The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village and the Horrifying Videotape
Lin Shu still remembers the fond memories of watching "The Haunted Village" with her family when she was a child.

This is an old Hong Kong movie, made in imitation of "The Ring," but in some ways, it is more thrilling and terrifying than "The Ring."

The plot of "The Haunted Village" is also easy to understand.

The character Chu Renmei in the movie was a famous Cantonese opera singer in her lifetime.

However, because her husband fell in love with someone else, she was framed by him and a staged scene of him committing adultery was staged, which led to her being brutally beaten to death by the villagers.

His goal was to get rid of his wife, who had been through thick and thin with him, and to marry into a wealthy family's mansion.

After Chu Renmei learned the truth after her death, she transformed into a vengeful ghost and killed 66 people in Huangshan Village over three days.

Finally, someone put a peace bracelet on him, which temporarily suppressed his resentment.

Thus, we arrived at the modern era.

Because of the construction team, Chu Renmei's remains were thrown into the pond, causing the bracelet to fall off.

So, the God of Slaughter returned and found that someone dared to drink the tap water that had been soaked in her corpse. He immediately took action and taught the audience that water must be boiled before drinking, otherwise they would see something dirty.

"So, how can I turn a beautiful woman from Chu into a game if there's only one?"

Lin Shu stood next to Chu Renmei, gently pinching her chin and frowning in thought.

While the system's design features allow him to easily create game models, it doesn't mean he can conjure things up like magic with a wave of his hand.

The scene still needs to be built little by little, and decorations and furniture also need to be made and placed.

This requires a lot of work.

"Forget it, let's check out the ready-made materials on Tianwang Mall. There might be suitable scene templates there."

As she spoke, Lin Shu stretched out her hand, and a virtual screen appeared in front of her.

The above lists all the materials needed to create a game.

Scenes, characters, items, and more are all available; you can simply purchase and apply them directly.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods in front of her, Lin Shu was also thinking about how to make this game so that it could truly capture the terror of Chu Renmei.

"Turn the entire movie 'The Haunted Village' into a game? No way, the workload would be too much for me to handle alone."

"How about we make up the storyline where Chu Renmei wipes out 66 people in Huangshan Village?"

"Or perhaps we could recreate the psychic encounter scene at the beginning of the movie?"

Lin Shu couldn't make up his mind until he suddenly saw an old, black videotape in the archive.

Suddenly, as if he had a flash of inspiration, he came up with an idea.

"Yes! The videotape!"

"Since making the whole 'The Haunted Village' story would take too much time, let's just make the psychic scene at the beginning of the movie and add a cursed videotape setting for players to enjoy."

"The process is that the player is an apartment resident who receives a mysterious videotape. Once played, he begins to play the role of the old corpse in the mountain village and engage in a psychic game."

"If the response is good, we'll expand it and turn the whole movie into a game."

"It's okay if the response is average; it saves time and the cost of trial and error won't be too high."

Thinking of this, Lin Shu immediately took action.

He first recharged 1000 yuan into the Tianwang Material Library to buy a regular membership, which allowed him to download 50 materials at will.

Then I bought videotape footage, apartment scene footage, and four template character footage.

Then there are various sound effects and background music.

Once everything is ready, let's start making the game!
Lin Shu entered God Mode, allowing him to soar through the skies and dive into the depths, much like the developer mode in "7 Days to Die".

He first placed the purchased apartment scene on a grid, and then used the system's "Design" function to add "volume collision" so that clipping would not occur.

The apartment itself comes with furniture and supplies, all of which are independently modeled, so there's no need to buy extra tables and chairs; just add 'volume collision' to everything.

"OK, the main game scene is done, now it's time for the official process."

"First, add logical behaviors to the four NPCs who are communicating with spirits." "In the original plot, the first one to die is the guy with glasses. After the protagonist interrupts the spirit communication ritual, he will go to the toilet first, and then be taken away by Chu Renmei in one go."

As Lin Shu spoke, she added actions and behaviors to the various character materials and Chu Renmei in the system.

But soon, he realized that after completing the psychic quest, what should he do next?
You know, in the original movie, the runtime was carried by just these few people. Should we condense it?

Lin Shu pondered for a moment, and suddenly, he had an idea.

"In that case, after the spirit communication ends, let's use the apartment as the main setting and let the players witness firsthand how Chu Renmei manipulates these NPCs in various ways."

"In terms of horror techniques and presentation skills, Earth in my previous life had far too many."

At this point, he immediately began designing the subsequent gameplay and storyline.

Time flew by, and after more than ten hours without eating or drinking, it got dark.

At 8 p.m., Lin Shu finally finished his first SkyNet game.

He then shared his first thoughts.

"Awesome, making games on Skynet is just like building a house in Minecraft, it's so much fun."

"With this system, what kind of horror game can't we make? It's just a pity we can't make other genres of games, sigh."

Inside the creative space, Lin Shu looked at the game in front of her and browsed through it.

After running the "Optimization" feature through the "I Can Do It Too" system and confirming that everything was correct, I promptly applied to upload it.

[Dear Game Designer O5, you are about to upload your first game. Please name your work, add a description, set a price, select a category, and upload a cover.]
"As for a name, let's call it 'The Weird Videotape,' with the story of the old corpse in the mountain village being just one chapter in it."

"If the response is good, we might be able to make more horror videotape content to enrich the game."

"The price is free, but we'll label it 'early access' to build brand awareness."

"Use the anime-style girl that the design system generated for the cover; the category is, of course, horror game. As for the description..."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shu typed a line of text on the semi-transparent virtual screen and then selected "Confirm".

[Dear Skynet designer, are you sure you want to upload this game design?]

"Upload".

Lin Shu operated the machine.

Having successfully completed her first game, Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished a mission.

"The game is finished; whether it succeeds or fails depends on luck."

"It's so late, we should go eat. I've been engrossed in development for over ten hours, and I'm starving."

At this point, Lin Shu logged out of Skynet and sat up from the virtual pod.

Looking at the dark and gloomy rented room, his stomach began to rumble.
