I play games in Zongman World

Chapter 308 Black Soul's Combat Demo Mini Program

Today's dinner was eaten outside by several people.

When they got home, Shi Yu was asked to take a shower first, while Yi Chen was sitting alone in front of the computer in the bedroom, tinkering with a test program that he had sneaked in before, making the final perfection.

There is not much content, a video of holding a sword and shield, wearing light armor, a supplementary passage and a room at the end of the passage.

Looking forward from the perspective of a soldier, you can see a tattered enemy standing in the room holding a wooden pier and a torch.

This, of course, is the battle test scene of Dark Souls that Yi Chen created casually, and the materials used are common free materials.The hard work is character modeling and action modules.

Controlled the character with the handle and played for a while. After destroying the enemies in the scene, Yi Chen reset the program and brought the character back to its original position.

"Well, the impact feeling still needs to be adjusted. It's too light, but the fluency of the movement is okay."

Rubbing his chin, Yi Chen had a little malice in his eyes.

"In the past few days, we can make the scene bigger, arrange more enemies and traps, and then let Sister Guang and the others experience it."

Persona, which is currently being produced by the studio, is an RPG game in terms of game type, while the Killing Spire and Hollow Knight in front of it are at most just a little fuss about the difficulty. Yi Chen has never played any old Miyazaki. The malice of a thief.

As for Dark Souls, Yi Chen intends to let the players experience what it means to be malicious from a game producer.

Back in the day, my evil spirit, black soul and blood source wolf, was abused by the old thief little by little. This kind of experience is naturally for players to have a good experience.

How could one not do such an interesting thing as living to death and dying several times in the same place?

Just as Yi Chen was busy working with a wicked smile on his face, after taking a shower, Shi Yu pushed the door in with a hair dryer, and heard Yi Chen's puzzled laughter.

"Chen Jun, what are you doing?"

Stopping what he was doing, Yi Chen turned the chair to look at Shi Yu, and waved to her with a smile: "Have you finished the shower? Come, I'll blow dry your hair for you, and talk while doing it."

Shi Yu came over and sat down beside Yi Chen, handed him the hair dryer and glanced at the computer screen.

"Isn't this something from Persona?"

"Yes, I did a little tinkering with it when I was free. It's a concept demonstration of a fighting method planned in the future."

After hooking up the hair dryer, Yi Chen skillfully began to blow Shi Yu's hair.

Shi Yu's long hair has always been well maintained, and the length has always been maintained at the waist.It's a lot of trouble to take care of, and it will take more time if it takes longer.

Blowing his hair a little bit, Yi Chen continued: "Dark Soul, you have seen a little bit of this game when I wrote the world view framework. The world view is very deep and dark, and the types of enemies are also diverse. Right now I made some battle scenes for display, because I don’t have much time, so I made some humanoid enemies to test the designed actions and the enemy’s AI. I tested it myself just now, and the effect is not bad. Do you want to experience it too? one time?"

"Action game, it's okay."

Shi Yu nodded, but did not refuse.

Although she said she doesn't play many action games, she also played for a few hours after Hollow Knight was finished.Even if you don't clear the level, it doesn't mean that you don't have any foundation in action games.

After spending a few minutes helping Shi Yu dry her hair, Yi Chen opened the test software, connected the handle and handed it to her.

"The upper left corner is the status of the character, the red bar is the blood volume, and the green bar is the energy. Rolling and attacking consume energy. There was originally a blue bar that could release martial arts and magic, but it was not added before it was ready. In terms of operation, the left and right joysticks control movement and perspective, X uses props, Y switches between single and dual wielding, A rolls, B interacts, LB lifts shield defense, LT shield counter, RB light attack, RT heavy attack. Come on, the current one The scene is so big, it’s still very simple.”

After listening to Yi Chen's explanation, Shi Yu also opened the menu bar and looked at the operation instructions. After making sure that Yi Chen didn't cheat him, he controlled the character to move, roll and attack a few times.

"The control is quite smooth, but isn't this character too ugly?"

Seeing himself controlling the role of soldier, Shiyu had obvious disgust on his face.

Regarding this, Yi Chen said very calmly: "Normally, the initial character is not very good-looking, and I only made a rough design. The official version will definitely be a little better than this. But there is still a character in the setting. The template of a useless person starts with a small wooden stick and a broken wooden shield, with only a tattered loincloth on his body."

"I don't know what you think, can you still play?"

While complaining, Shiyu controlled the character to move forward, she had already seen the enemy in the room at the end of the passage, waiting for her.

"And Mr. Chen, can't you give some good equipment to the enemy you designed? That wooden shield and torch?"

"What if you are given good equipment and you can't fight?"

"Didn't you see the shield in my hand? I can't defend yet?"

After finishing speaking, Shiyu controlled the character to lift his shield, showing off his defensive ability.

Regarding this, Yi Chen could only smile and nod: "That's right. According to the settings in the game, shields have physical and attribute defense capabilities. I set this shield to 100% physical defense, that is, as long as you have energy If you don’t fall completely, physical attacks can be perfectly defended.”

Are you so conscientious?

Shi Yu glanced at Yi Chen unexpectedly, then controlled the character to walk a not-so-long walk, and stepped into the room with one step.

The moment she walked in, she also walked into Brother Torch's warning range, which made Brother Torch move.

However, just as Shiyu was guarding against the attack of the torch brother, a long sword suddenly appeared on his body from the right rear without a sound, causing the character under Shiyu's control to stagger, and his blood volume was also cut off.

"ah!!!"

Of course, Shi Yu was also taken aback, and instinctively rolled and turned his perspective, and saw an enemy with the same tattered body, but holding a long sword, who was similar to himself.

"Why are there still enemies ambushing here? Mr. Chen, you are too insidious!"

Shi Yu carefully held the shield, and after blocking Brother Changjian's attack, he quickly launched an attack, killing the enemy with three swords.

"Huh, the blood volume is not high!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the torch brother on the other side trotted over, waving the seemingly ineffective torch in his hand.

One, two, three, four, five!

The blood volume of Shi Yu's character was directly emptied, and with a scream, he fell to the ground, and the screen turned black and white.

Torch Juggernaut, well-deserved reputation.

Shi Yu stared blankly at the black and white picture, as well as another enemy with a knife running out from behind a few boxes in the corner of the room, and finally turned to look at Yi Chen.

Chapter 309 The Pain of Players, the Joy of Producers

Fortunately, Shi Yu didn't throw the handle over, but put it back on the table smoothly.

It's just that after putting down the handle, she threw herself directly on Yi Chen's body, hitting Yi Chen's chest with her small fists non-stop.

"You definitely did it on purpose, right? You did it on purpose! You used it to trick me as soon as you made it!"

After defeating the sneak attacking enemy, Shi Yu felt that the remaining torch enemy was very easy, but he didn't expect that the opponent's combo would kill him in seconds, and he didn't give himself a chance to react.

In other words, she didn't even have the chance to react.

Facing Shi Yu's offensive, Yi Chen did not fight back, and let Shi Yu vent his depression and anger with a smile on his face.

After nearly a minute, Shi Yu finally dissipated, and sat on Yi Chen's lap in silence.

Yi Chen hugged Shi Yu with a smile, kissed her on the cheek twice and said: "Seeing your reaction, I know that when the full version of the game comes out, those careless players will definitely cry .”

Shi Yu's reaction just now, Yi Chen also had the same reaction when he first came into contact with Black Soul in the past, and even almost dropped the handle.

Exhaling a breath, after Shi Yu's mood completely calmed down, he looked at Yi Chen and asked, "Is this dark soul game full of such insidious designs?"

Yi Chen immediately denied: "Of course it's impossible. If I follow this pattern throughout the whole process, wouldn't it appear that I'm not up to standard? Things like traps are meant to be distributed in the right place to produce the best results. Don't worry, I'm not a newcomer to game design anymore, I will definitely grasp the player's psychology and difficulty curve."

Shi Yu nodded, looked again at the reset screen, returned to the initial screen and said, "Are you going to let other people experience this test program?"

"Well~~~ Not yet."

After thinking for a while, Yi Chen shook his head and said, "This is really not enough to see now. I will spend some time to make two more scenes, and then I will make a small boss, and then I will give it to everyone to experience. It's early, wait Let’s talk about this after the interview at Dongda.”

This is just a simple combat test procedure, Yi Chen won't take it too seriously, compared to the interview at Dongda University, he needs to be more concerned.

Of course, before that, they have a second promotional live broadcast to be held, and Shi Yu's new book will be released at about the same time.

After letting Shi Yu rest for a while, Yi Chen took a change of clothes and pajamas, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After Yi Chen went out, Shi Yu looked at the computer screen, then at the closed door, thought for a while and picked up the handle again.

"Only three enemies, I still don't believe it."

Starting again, Shiyu slowly controlled the character to walk to the door of the room, but instead of going in, he slowly turned the camera and looked to the right side of the door.

Sure enough, this way, he can easily see the enemies that Yi Chen arranged here insidiously.

After complaining about Yi Chen from the bottom of her heart, Shi Yu opened the inventory and looked at the things at hand.

Three bottles of medicine to restore blood volume, and then five small knives for overdraft, really few things.But this is a test scene, understandable.

Shi Yu is very smart, during the days around Yi Chen, she somewhat understood some of Yi Chen's thoughts when designing games.

"This small knife is placed here, it will definitely not be a display."

As she said that, she replaced the blood bottle with a knife, then locked onto the torch brother in front, and threw one.

With a sound of "呲", the knife stabbed Brother Torch, his blood volume dropped by 5, and there was basically no damage.

However, the effect was achieved, Brother Huobao was awakened by the attack, locked on the character controlled by Shiyu, and walked over slowly.

"Hmph, I knew I was going to fight like this!"

With a smug smile on his face, Shiyu raised his shield and slowly backed away, ready to play 1V1 with this torch brother.As a result, as soon as he took two steps back, he saw the soldier with the sword coming out behind the torch brother who walked out of the room. The scene changed from the expected 1V1 to 1V2 in an instant.

"..."

Although the shield is a shield with 100% physical defense, the torch in Torch Brother's hand is obviously of the fire attribute. In addition, two enemies attack consecutively, and the energy is exhausted in a few hits, making Shiyu unable to even roll Then he was slashed stiffly by Brother Changjian, and finally was taken away by Brother Huoba with five consecutive slashes.

【YOU DIED】

The black and white screen and the text that appeared made Shi Yu feel suspicious.

This guy Yichen, why do you want to play this kind of game?Is it fun?

But when she thought of what Yi Chen said just now, she understood.This may not be interesting for players, but for Yi Chen, a game developer, seeing players being defeated by the scenes and strategies he designed, screaming in front of the screen, and even being unable to win after many battles It's really funny when you wail.

I thought about Hollow Knight, but in Hollow Knight, Yi Chen didn't show this aspect too clearly. After all, it is a 2D side-scrolling Galaxy City-like action game, not a 3D game.

In 3D games, designers can design various game scenes to a greater extent, arrange all kinds of trappers full of malicious producers, let simple players walk in foolishly, and feel the frightened and defeated scenes in the next second.

If you have to compare it, is it a bit louder than a horror game?

Shiyu herself doesn't know how to play horror games, and even rarely watches horror movies, so she can't bear this kind of fright.

"According to Chen Jun's design method, it is estimated that he is familiar with making horror games."

Ten minutes later, Yi Chen came back from the shower, and then saw Shi Yu holding the handle, controlling the character standing in the room where all three enemies had fallen.

"Oh? Are you playing again?"

Putting down the handle, Shi Yu looked angrily at Yi Chen who was sitting over.

"Put a throwing knife in the inventory, and when the flying knife attracts the enemy, the one hiding at the entrance will also be attracted. Isn't this a forced 1V2?"

"Hahaha, that's how I deliberately designed it. Of course, in the game, I can't do it all. I will also make more adjustments to the chain reaction between enemies to increase the difficulty of some players' backboards. "

Now that Shi Yu has played it, there is no need to open this program.

Yi Chen controlled the mouse to close the program, Yi Chen held Shi Yu's shoulders, and watched the comments on episode 11 of the Love Metronome animation last night together.

The animation began broadcasting in August, and it has now entered the end of the first season.

The production of the second season has also been settled as early as the beginning, and production has already begun.

Although it will not be picked up directly when the first season ends in October, it will be scheduled for January next year.

Chapter 310 New Book Release

On October 21st and 22nd, Friday and Saturday, the second live broadcast of Persona went smoothly on Bilibili and Youtube.

Originally, Yi Chen didn't want to appear in the two live broadcasts, but he still needs to do some translation for the live broadcast of station B, so he can only appear on the stage.

In terms of voice actors, the voice actors of Apricot Takamaki and Morgana were invited, that is, Nana Mizuki and Ikue Otani.

PV2 of the game was also played at the beginning of the live broadcast.

Although the voice actor Jun Fukuyama, who played the most important role in the PV this time, did not show up, after the PV was played, everyone started to discuss the content of the PV, and the atmosphere was always good.

As for the scene in the PV when the male protagonist awakens the Persona, it also caused a lot of discussion after the live broadcast ended.

After all, Fukuyama Jun and this second-time burst of expression, it is hard not to remind people of something.

For this live broadcast, not everyone in the company was present. In the program team with heavy work content, Yi Chen asked everyone to go back after they got their signatures, leaving only a part of the people on site. Layout, and management of live broadcast equipment.

And on the Sunday when the live broadcast ended.

Shiwa's new book "My Boss and I's Love Story" has also just been released.

As Xia Shizi's new work following the successful completion of Love Metronome, Undead River Publishing House naturally poured a lot of resources into publicity.

In places like Akihabara, you can see outdoor advertising screens and posters in various bookstores promoting it half a month ago. As long as you are a nerd who comes to Akihabara to play, you can basically see it. See.

Except for Akihabara, as long as there are other bookstores that sell light novels, Undead River Publishing House will more or less arrange publicity.

Facts have proved that even if there is no signing event, Shiyu's strength in the love metronome has won a group of very stable readers.
