Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

With the double harvest of word-of-mouth sales of "Under the Legend", the keyword META has also attracted the attention of countless game designers in the industry.

As far as the plot is concerned, "Under the Legend" is indeed very good, but it definitely cannot achieve the achievements and praise it has today.

But after matching this element of META, everyone has only one feeling after playing, and that is shock.

Not only the designers in the independent game circle, but also some middle and senior game designers, as well as some designers who focus on VR games, all pay attention to the game "Under the Legend".

After all, in a way, it teaches all game designers a lesson.

I told everyone what the META element is, and how this element should be interspersed in the game.

However, compared to the attention of many designers in the game industry.

At this time, Chen Xu was very relaxed.

The success of "Under the Legend" can be described as a double harvest.

Fame and fortune.

Inside the office, Chen Xu was holding a bottle of Wangzai milk in his hand, looking at the system UI interface that only he could see.

'Don't give a shit! Although it provided more points than the previous "Magic Mirror", it only made up 2 ten consecutive.'

After deducting the fraction, Chen Xu now has 2.1 million points accumulated, which is just enough to draw 21 times.

Compared with "Magic Mirror", "Under the Legend" does provide a lot, but not too much.

In the end, Chen Xu also summed up the reason.

The emotions that the player must buy and feel when they play it counts.

Simply put, it is spending money, and with strong emotional fluctuations, it can be included in the points.

And if it is simply to see, it is not included in the shock.

The most shocking thing in "Under the Legend", except for the first contact with META elements, in fact, most of them come from the massacre line.

But there are very few players who are really willing to play in the Slaughter Line. Especially after the various video guides came out, many players could not bear to play, but chose to go through a wave of videos.

Therefore, the large amount of points accumulated so far is mainly due to the shock of the players at first sight.

While thinking about it in my heart, I also conducted a lottery.

With a total of 2.1 million points, Chen Xu did not have ten consecutive points.

Anyway, in this lottery, there is no such thing as a guaranteed SSR for ten consecutive guarantees, or ten consecutive discounts.

All single draws are the so-called single draw miracles, and single draws also have a sense of ritual.

Just one point, can this golden light be changed?

Looking at the golden light shining in front of him, Chen Xu's heart did not fluctuate.

The light dissipates, an ordinary plot +1 skill book.

The most shining golden light, the most common goods, but it really belongs to you!

With a sigh of relief, Chen Xu gave all the points in his head.

After 21 consecutive draws, this time Chen Xu felt that he might not wash his hands before drawing the cards.

Except for the two memory capsules, the rest are all ordinary skill books, and there is not a single rare one.

As for the genre, art, music, plot, levels, values, none of them have fallen behind.

After taking a sip of milk and sighing with emotion, Chen Xu used up all the skill books, and then shut down the system.

Open the official game engine background on the computer, log in to the partition of the Magic City game department, and Chen Xu checked his permissions.

Compared with the previous 1024, the resources that Chen Xu can use has now been raised to 2048, which is almost doubled.

Obviously, although there was no notification of the promotion of the professional title, the game department also noticed the "Under the Legend" developed by itself, and raised its designer level.

"Next, we have to think about the follow-up games." Leaning on the chair, Chen Xu fell into a tangle.

AAA game?

This was directly ruled out by Chen Xu.

Because it's not realistic.

Whether it is resources, manpower, funds or Chen Xu's current ability, it is still relatively difficult to develop 3A-level games.

After all, the small cost is for creative gameplay and plot performance, and for 3A-level games, the more test is a comprehensive performance.

Therefore, in the next direction, Chen Xu decided to focus on games made at a small scale.

During this period, build a team to get Nebula Games on the right track as soon as possible.

After all, in this entire company, Yang Xin, Ruan Ningxue and him were the only people who developed the game.

Now that you have money, naturally you want to recruit people.

In addition, by the way, you can better accumulate points and improve your ability.

As for the krypton gold game, Chen Xu currently has no such idea.

Because it is easy to have a huge impact on his reputation with Nebula Games.

And the great success of "Under the Legend" proves one thing, that is, the market of the parallel world is completely different from the previous life.

It is also possible to make profits by relying on the buyout system. In this case, Chen Xu is naturally ready to take the route of high-quality products.

 …

In the conference room, looking at the people sitting in the seats, Chen Xu briefly talked about the achievements brought by the "Under the Legend" and "Magic Mirror" DLC.

At the same time, I confirmed with everyone that the next main development direction will be an expansion of the team department.

As well as some related regulations, as the boss, Chen Xu inevitably cooked two pots of chicken soup for everyone.

I have to say that painting a flatbread and making chicken soup by yourself is completely different from being stuffed with a flatbread and chicken soup by the boss.

At this moment, Chen Xu also understood why so many people liked to draw pancakes and feed chicken soup in the previous life.

Really cool.

After talking about administration and personnel matters, Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue were left in the conference room to discuss the game.

"So, are we going to launch a sequel to "Under the Legend" next?" Yang Xin looked forward to the future in the conference room.

This is her ideal game industry!

And Ruan Ningxue next to her was also excited.

Joining in at the beginning, on the one hand, it was because of the relationship between Chen Xu and Yang Xin, and on the other hand, it was also a good feeling to play games, and at the same time, she felt that she had a little future.

but now?

Not a future, but a great future!

Especially on some websites, she saw that some people drew some fan stories of "Under the Legend" and "Magic Mirror", which made her feel even more wonderful.

After all, this is a project she participated in. In the past, she was the one who painted, but now she can see others painting.

Listening to Yang Xin's question, Chen Xu nodded with a smile: "There must be new projects, but it's not a sequel to "Under the Legend", nor is it a META type game."

Not a sequel to Undertale, or even a META genre game?

Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue were stunned.
