Chapter 689 unique style

I didn't expect to see the latest game released by the benefactor early in the morning.

He still has a fresh memory of this mysterious netizen's first game work.

He was really addicted to Stardew Valley for a long time.

Obviously this game looks so rough, but it still has extraordinary magic.

Not only him, but even a large number of people in his company have been conquered by this game.

Later, he launched a game called Cycle Hero. The gameplay of this game is also quite unique, and it has the same magic power as Stardew Valley. It can make the game more perfect.

Then, the mysterious benefactor netizen launched a game called Witch's House.

How to say this game, he doesn't really like it too much, the plot is a bit too sad, and it has horror elements, it is destined that there will not be too many people who like it, but he also noticed that the people who like it really like it, not at all. Any fake, which also leads to polarized reviews of this game. On the game review page, you can see that the most people who give one-star negative reviews and five-star positive reviews are the most, and those in the middle have the least ratings.

So the game has a certain audience, but not everyone likes it.

This also made Murakami realize that this mysterious netizen who used to be of great help to him and regarded as his benefactor was also very talented in game development.

He even saw a little bit of the shadow of the god of games in this mysterious netizen.

However, the God of Games is obviously more powerful in game development, and the games developed by this mysterious benefactor netizen will have a bit of a unique personal touch, which will also make it difficult for the game itself to become a popular mainstream game.

And finally after almost two years, the mysterious benefactor netizens once again released a new game.

Um?Was it co-developed with someone else?

This is a bit different from his previous development style.

Before this mysterious benefactor, the netizen has been fighting alone.

This time, it was unusual to find a co-op team to develop the game with.

The game is priced at 1900 yen, which is relatively high for an independent game.

Now most of the indie games on the Battle.net platform are below 1000 yen. If you look carefully, you can even find indie games that are only [-] yen.

1900 yen is already considered the top price of an independent game now.

If this game was released by a little-known ordinary independent game developer, he estimated that most players would simply ignore it.

However, apart from the mysterious benefactor netizens this time, another game production team co-developed is also a well-known game studio. It was a game development team formed by three female college students. He had the honor to interview once, yes The development strength of the three people is very recognized.

This should be considered a strong alliance.

Thinking of this, Murakami no longer hesitated, and decided to buy it.

After the purchase is complete, the game starts to download automatically.

The capacity of the game is about 400MB.

This is much larger than the current average independent game capacity.

If the capacity is relatively large, it means that the content in the game should be quite rich.

No wonder the mysterious benefactor netizens will choose the way of joint development. If you want to complete this kind of game alone, it may be very time-consuming.

It didn't take long for the game to download.

Dead Cells, um, a game about constant death?
It’s still quite novel. I saw some screenshots of the game’s homepage before, it seems that it is a horizontal version of the action game, and the type is classified as a Galaxy City game.

This type of game is now most famous for the Metroid and Castlevania series.

This time, is it the mysterious benefactor netizen who wants to break through?
He entered the game with anticipation.

The first thing that catches the eye is an ancient castle building, which is an ancient castle drawn in pixel style, and has a unique charm in it.

In this environment where various types of games are pursuing high-definition, it is quite unique that a game suddenly returns to the basics and makes a pixel game.

Of course, there may also be insufficient funds?
Just click to enter the game options, and then the cutscene officially begins.

The Prisoner's Cell, this is where the game all begins.

Under the movement of the camera, it came to a position like a pipe, and then a mass of blood and flesh rolled down from it, and then fell to the ground with a squeak.

In the background of the ground, Murakami saw a giant-like corpse sitting on the ground, which suddenly made Murakami start to reverie.

Who is this giant?What happened here?And what happened to this mass of rolling flesh?

The flesh and blood quickly came to a lying corpse, and then quickly drilled into the corpse, allowing the corpse to move again.

At this point, the game officially started, and Murakami stared blankly at the screen.

This game... really has a unique style, and it really has the same strange trend as before.

Ordinary games will never develop games like this, because it looks very weird.

But on independent games, on the mysterious benefactor netizens, everything seems so reasonable.

According to the guide, Murakami quickly learned some basic operations, jumping, moving forward, and rolling.

Then he manipulated the character to run forward.

He immediately found that the overall action of the game is very smooth, which shows that the developers are very attentive in the adjustment of the action of the game characters.

Just some action values ​​that come with Unreal Engine are not enough to make such smooth and silky action effects.

Unless the mysterious benefactor has an internal channel of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, you can obtain the exclusive action value data from Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

After simply performing actions such as jumping, running, and rolling, the character came to a gate.

A shield and a short bow are suspended in front of the gate at the moment, and a woman dressed like a warrior seems to be waiting here for a long time.

Through the conversation with this female warrior, Murakami has a general understanding of the entire world view.

Now his character appears to be a strange, spooky creature that doesn't die itself.

The principle of immortality cannot be explained, but in short, as long as you fail in the game, the protagonist will not directly GAMEOVER, but will return to this cell to regenerate, and then continue to the next reincarnation battle.

Is it a constant cycle of death?Wouldn't this be a bit boring?

Murakami pondered, and always felt that this game was not as interesting as he imagined.

But Murakami is very patient. His job is to play games and evaluate games. Naturally, it is impossible to judge the overall quality of a game just because of its performance at the beginning. In short, play it first.
