Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

As the first prize of last year's "Sci-Fi Expedition" competition, plus Chen Xu, who made a "Escape" before setting off a wave of horror.

The influence is not only in the independent game circle.

In addition, the significance of "Naughty Kitchen" to Nebula Games this time is not just as simple as a game, but a test of the platform's direction.

Therefore, in terms of publicity, the resources obtained by "Naughty Kitchen" are even more than the previous "Escape".

For this game, Chen Xu also specially filmed several one-and-a-half minute short video advertisements.

In the advert, a couple sits in front of their computers in a sunny bedroom.

On the computer monitor, the game screen of "Hacked Kitchen" is displayed.

'The brief separation does not affect our tacit understanding and feelings. ’

Cut vegetables, cook vegetables, and serve them, and with the vibration of the screen, the kitchen in the game is actually divided into two.

They turned out to be cooking on a hot air balloon.

With mutual cooperation, the couple experienced the beauty of the game while laughing and laughing in the game.

The next moment is accompanied by the advancement of time, gradually from day to night.

In the background, two men and women located in different places, their spaces gradually merged, with a short-lived scene flashing by, the next moment the two people lived together in a house.

But the same is that in front of them, the computer screen is still displaying the game screen of "Hacked Kitchen".

"From the past to the present, our feelings remain the same. ’

Standing up from the chair, the boy opened a takeaway app on his mobile phone and prepared to order a takeaway.

But the next moment, the girl grabbed the phone with a full smile, and saw that the girl took out a chef hat from nowhere and shook it in front of the other party.

Opening the refrigerator, two people came to the kitchen, one chopping and one cooking, from game cooking to real cooking.

‘Enjoy the game, enjoy life, and feel the fun of the game with your she (he). ’

With the melodious BGM sound, the video came to an end during the candlelight dinner for two.

In the center of the final screen, a line of subtitles appeared: "Naughty Kitchen" will be launched on February 14.

Of course, this is a promotional video for the couple version, in addition to the brother version and the girlfriend version.

A total of three different versions were shot.

It can be said to cover all levels.

For the players, it is obvious that the game promotional video of "Hurning Kitchen" has made them a lot of interest.

The cute picture of its own, coupled with the extremely warm promotional video, has made countless players look forward to it.

Under the official blog of Chen Xu's promotional video, it was soon filled with various replies from players.

"Fuck, the game designer I'm concerned about is cheating!"

"The promo video is great! It's the one in the couple's version who watched me, a single dog, with pantothenic acid in my heart."

"This game is too cute, too warm! Is this Chen Xu's compensation that "Escape" scared us?"

"This is the real 'fighter of love'. I just bought it to play with my girlfriend. I give you a like for Chen Xu!"

"Look carefully, it seems to be a cooking game, is it two-player cooperation? Poor me, I can only play with my friends!"

"Don't be discouraged, Ji friends can sometimes become lovers!"

"????? There's something wrong with you upstairs!"

"Where is something wrong? Let Brother Jie and I Kang Yikang!"

"Hey, I'm going to confess on Valentine's Day this year. The other party likes to play games. I just confessed while playing this game. I have prepared the method. I will cook in the game and then show her a wave of cooking skills in real life. Confession The gifts are hidden directly in the cakes baked at that time!"

"Brother Wen, I wish you a successful confession!"

"Yeah, this is the Chen Xu I am familiar with. Don't do any underworld games like "Escape". Although it's really interesting to watch others get scared to pee, I still like this kind of love-filled game!"

Not only players are discussing, but some game industry designers who pay attention to Chen Xu are also discussing.

"Have you heard that Chen Xu's new game turned out to be a cooperative game for couples."

"It's not a couple's cooperation, it's just that there is such a tendency in publicity and festivals when it goes online."

"However, I'm not very optimistic about this kind of game. If it is mainly a cooperative game, the whole game will collapse if the level design is not good. Several of Chen Xu's previous games are plot-oriented. Is this the first time?"

"It's hard to say the content of the game, but Chen Xu can be considered to have understood it in the publicity!"

"That's right, that's right, watching that promotional video, I felt very warm and wanted to buy one with my girlfriend to play with."

"However, it's not easy if you want to be popular. After all, whether cooperative games can sell well is still the popularity. If it can form a game popularity like the previous "Escape", the sales of "Naughty Kitchen" will be very impressive. "

"But there doesn't seem to be a similar competitor during the Spring Festival. Chen Xu took a big advantage here."

"No competing products is not necessarily a good thing. After all, the game industry is not zero-sum. As long as it is not flooded, it will help expand the sales market."

"I feel that it may be unrealistic for Chen Xu to want to sell this game as well as the previous "Escape"."

"Earning is certain. After all, from the performance point of view, the development cost of "Naughty Kitchen" should not be high, it is nothing more than making less money."

"But compared to "Escape", the art style of "Naughty Kitchen" follows the line of cute cartoons, and the audience is much wider."

"By the way, have you noticed that Chen Xu's Nebula game platform has launched a buy-one-get-one-free event!"

"Normal, the two festivals of the Spring Festival and Valentine's Day have to provide some benefits for players, and who doesn't want to accumulate a fan vote on their own game platform?"

"That's right, and "Naughty Kitchen" is also a cooperative game, some players may hesitate to sell it alone, and this buy-one-get-one-free model may make many interested but undecided players decide. determination."

………………

Regarding Chen Xu's new game, the industry and players are discussing extensively.

Ordinary players are purely concerned with the performance of the game.

For the industry, it is more to analyze from the market.

Including the buy-one-get-one-free discount model of the Nebula game platform, it was also discussed by some designers in the industry.

But just as Chen Xu expected, not many people cared too much.

After all, it’s still the same sentence, who doesn’t want to make their own platform for games?

Online other game platforms, the commission is not low.

As for the game "Naughty Kitchen", many designers in the industry have the same attitude.

That is to say, I think this game can make some money, but it is a bit uncertain to have much impact.

In this regard, Chen Xu was not affected in any way.

How the game performs in the end, we will have to wait until it comes out to know.

With time advancing day by day.

On February 14, the third day of the new year, Chen Xu posted an update on his official blog.

'"Cheat Kitchen" is launched today, this is a harmonious multiplayer game with love let's start! Mistakes will not be tolerated in this crazy kitchen! ’
