Chapter 8 Journeyman
The game that Lin You thought of was "Journeyman".
When Lin You played "Journeyman" for the first time in his previous life, his perception of the game was completely overturned.
A strong but tender art style, using only a few elements, creates stunning graphics and awe-inspiring grandeur.
There is no weapon props system, no upgrades to fight monsters to make money.
All the operations are only moving, jumping, and triggering the mechanism. All you have to do is move forward, toward the snowy mountain at the end, and witness everything in your journey.
Without a single line in the whole process, only through the scene change design from sand sea, underground, high tower to snow mountain, plus some relics and ruins, a magnificent and ups and downs plot was successfully created, which brought a strong emotional impact.
There are countless shining points in this game: simple but endlessly interesting cloak flying, level-by-level progression, other players who are destined to meet by chance, guiding rendering of players' emotions, epic background music... and so on .
The volume is small and the process is not long, but it allows players to fully immerse themselves in the flow it creates, and experience loneliness, Zen, reunion and farewell.
Casual players, core players, and even first-time gamers can easily appreciate the fun and beauty of the game.
Such a work allows Lin You to perfectly maximize his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, avoiding a lot of cumbersome design, and magnifying the two core points of "scene experience" and "travel experience" by ten times and a hundred times.
Holding a controller to control the villain to slide sand in the monitor can bring such pure happiness. If the player can experience it for himself, it would be a joy to heaven!
Even he himself looked forward to it.
But before starting work, he had to briefly respond to NetDragon.
Little common sense in life: before slapping, try to raise your hand back as much as possible, so that you can use the strength of your whole body when slapping.
It doesn't take much time anyway.
"Xiaomeng, help me to clock the news on Lingxi."
"Xiaomeng is here! Ready, what is the master going to send?"
"Although your hearts are not in agreement, and your blessings are also yin and yang, I still accept it generously. I hope you will not cry too loudly in a few days."
A monitor and a keyboard appeared in front of Xiaomeng, and she started tapping on the keyboard.
In fact, Xiaomeng only needs to control the mobile phone to directly input the content, and then publish it. There is no need for such a live typing screen.
To some extent, this scene is equivalent to the loading interface, which is completely unnecessary and a waste of computing power...
Lin You once again sighed helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, as long as you are happy."
"Xiaomeng is done! Does the master want Xiaomeng to read the comments for you?"
"Please don't!" Lin can imagine without looking at how dirty the comments are now, and he doesn't want to make himself unhappy.
He doesn't even bother to read online reviews until a new device is released.
The reality is exactly the same as he guessed.
This confident response made countless netizens feel very dissatisfied.
In their feeling, Lin You, a college student, had a black spot, and he took the initiative to provoke, hit a big company and insulted netizens. Now the big company responded. The difference is so big, the result is already obvious.
But he is just a dead duck with a stubborn mouth and will not admit defeat.
And the Internet mob's favorite thing is to hold their heads down and force people to admit their mistakes.
So as expected, the comment area fell again.
"You have such a big face, you still accept blessings, do you deserve it?"
"Hello, my house is a lock shop, do you have the keys? How many do you have?"
"This wave, this wave makes you not cry when you don't see the coffin, and you don't feel the sharpness of the ax until your neck is broken."
"If you want me to say, what's the matter with Fei, directly sue for damage to goodwill, and the court will see it."
"Upstairs is right. You've seen a lot of this kind of flirting. When you see the court summons, you'll be scared!"
" @Lingxi official, why is such a person still not banned? Are you keeping it for the Chinese New Year?"
Of course, it is impossible for Lingxi officials to ban Linyou. Of course, big companies can easily see the essence through the appearance.
Besides, for social platforms, right or wrong is not important at all, only traffic is important.
They watched the battle between NetDragon and Lin You intensify, and the traffic soared, and they wished to send Lin You two years of membership directly to express their love.
ban? impossible!
Lin You didn't care about these anymore, and started to make "Journeyman" with Xiaomeng.
The first step is very simple. With the help of Xiaomeng, slightly increase the strength of the nerve signal, stimulate the specific memory nerve area, and copy and store all the memories about "Journeyman". Xiaomeng then reproduces the scene and builds a initial frame.
Then moderately lengthen the space range. According to the volume of the original game for two or three hours, playing on the monitor may feel that the rhythm is just right, but when walking in real people, it will be a little tight.
After all, you see the next target at a glance from a high place, and then walk for three minutes to arrive, then the next target for five minutes, and the next target for four minutes...
The game may become a boring rush game, always moving towards the next goal, ignoring the distant scenery, losing the artistic conception, and greatly losing the fun.
Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the distance, and fine-tune the distribution of runes and murals. Guidance must be provided, but it does not need to be too precise, allowing players to explore and explore by themselves, and immerse themselves in it.
After all, "journey" is the meaning of all this.
After completing this step, Lin You has to adjust the soundtrack according to the changes in the space, so that the soundtrack can adapt to the changes in the space and enhance the atmosphere.
When the game world is built, the hard work has just begun.
Because the world is still empty at this time, the sun has no temperature, the sand does not flow, and the wind does not blow the clothes. This is still a soulless world.
And the next step is the most critical step: the injection of feelings.
Xiaomeng finds the most suitable parts from Lin You's sensory memory and injects them into the scene of the game.
Standing there, Lin You felt the heat from the sun, the desert became dry, the fine sand began to flow, and the hot wind mixed with rough gravel blowing through his hair...
"Wait, Xiaomeng, the dryness and heat are reduced by one-third, and the sand and gravel rolled up by the wind are reduced to one-tenth. And the desert must be clean, and the sand must not enter the clothes and shoes. Clothes can be dirty, but they cannot enter Sand, you must ensure that the player's body feels comfortable."
After all, players are invited to play games, to "play", not to practice, just forget about ascetics.
"Okay! Xiaomeng is changing!"
The softness of the sand, the depth of quicksand sinking, the height of jumping and gliding, the speed of falling at different heights and the change of wind force, the way of moving after the mechanism interacts, and the strength of vibration, everything must be carefully adjusted.
Otherwise, if a detail is not noticed, problems may arise.
For example, when Lin You tested gliding with a long scarf, his arms and feet were entangled by the scarf in the air, and the gliding method he set was to vibrate the cloak with his arms.
As a result, he fell headfirst from a height of more than twenty meters. He could only scream and wave his arms in vain, which frightened him half to death.
