Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 163

  Chapter 163 The Ultimate Easter Egg! Surprised by the sudden whim of heaven and man!

   In a blink of an eye!

  November is coming.

  PT's development cycle is also nearing completion.

  The trial version has entered the final testing stage, and the directors of the production team have also tried it out.

  Theoretically speaking, this experience is not for 'playing games', but for finding subtle problems from the perspective of their respective fields, and then making final fine-tuning of the game.

  And as a game developer, by the end of the development stage, he has actually become numb to his own game.

   No matter how passionate the plot is, how much brain-burning suspense, how scary Jumpscare you are.

   Watching it 180 times a day, after several months in a row, I have long been tired of aesthetics.

  It's like the master chef who is a full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasties does not eat the banquet, and the painter of the Hualifan does not rush to his own role.

so.

  Usually when it comes to experience, the designers and the principals usually go through the process with a blank face.

but!

   The project "Silent Hill PT" seems a bit different.

  PT project team does not include Gu Sheng, there are eight supervisors in total.

  The three supervisors are the shrewd Sato, the otaku Okura, and the beautiful and cheerful Yuki.

  Below the three, there are two deputy directors of the main planning and main program departments, and Yuki has another deputy director.

   Eight people!

   Take turns to experience!

  At first, everyone was chatting and laughing, and all of them held their heads high. They wanted to go to the PT game world with a professional attitude to take a final look and find professional problems.

result!

  Eight people.

   The shortest time was two minutes, and the longest was only seven minutes.

  Standing in, he came out softly, his legs were like noodles, as if his bones had been pulled out, his face was pale and dripping with cold sweat.

  Cannot examine.

   Can't look at it at all.

  I don't even have the **** courage to open my eyes.

  This can no longer be classified as a horror game.

  This is the real projection of Director Gu's twisted and abnormal psychology.

  Everyone who enters to play will truly feel the trauma of the soul from the horror game fairy SamGu!

  The unprecedented oppressive feeling made many people not even see the shadow of the female ghost. Just walking twice in the narrow and cramped corridor of the villa, their heart rate exceeded the standard and they had difficulty breathing.

  As the leader of the art team of the game, Yuki, who is in charge of the original painting, modeling, UI, scenes, etc., couldn't stand it when he reached the fourth round of reincarnation!

  Because in the fourth lap, the player will face Lisa—the female ghost in PT.

  Although she drew the modeling skin by herself!

but!

  When Yuki met him, he still couldn't help being traumatized, and was kicked out of the neural connection of the somatosensory cabin with a snap.

  Chick—

  The hatch opened, and Yuki's face was pale, and he was stunned!

   After being silent for more than half a minute, seeing that Yuki still had no intention of speaking, Gu Sheng couldn't help feeling a little worried, and stretched out his hand to shake in front of Yuki:

   "Yuki, are you... okay?"

   “…not particularly good,”

  Yuki slowly came back to his senses, his throat moved up and down, his eyes were still a little sluggish:

   "I'm thinking about a problem."

"what is the problem?"

  Gu Sheng was curious.

   Seeing that Yuki seems to have restarted his brain that was frightened and shut down a little bit, he sorted out his thoughts:

  “According to the game's setting, killing Lisa's husband was already crazy and arrested by the police,”

   "Then where did the protagonist, the 'I' in the game, come from?"

   "Why did I come to this haunted house? To explore? To clarify? Or to investigate?"

   "Or to put it bluntly...why would I come here to die?"

  Yuki's frightened question hit the soul directly, making everyone in the project team stunned.

  Even Gu Sheng was taken aback.

   That's right.

   For a long time, the origin of the protagonist of this trial version has not been introduced throughout the game.

  No explanation, no account, no background.

   It seems that it is only regarded as a carrier of experience, a pure tool man.

   It's not that Gu Sheng is lazy.

  Because in his previous life, the story of PT came to an abrupt end here. There is no official version, and he does not know the origin of the protagonist of PT!

  I thought that this was just a trial version, and the background of the protagonist is not important, so I blurted it out.

  However, Yuki's inspiration broke out today, and the sudden question reminded him.

yes.

  The protagonist of PT, why is he willing to come to this apartment to die?

  People's actions must always have a logic.

  The same is true in the game.

  Since the motivation of the PT protagonist will always be a mystery, can I add a small Easter egg to explain the origin of the protagonist while ensuring that the main body of the game remains unchanged?

  Like what Yuki said.

   Adventure? Confused? investigation?

  Thinking of this, Gu Sheng pulled the office chair with great interest and sat down:

   "This is a good question, so what kind of identity do you think we will add to him to make it more reasonable?"

   All the executives look at me, and I look at you.

  Thinking for a moment, Sato first raised his hand to signal:

   "Anyway, I think the option of dispelling confusion can be passed first,"

   "Because if it is to solve puzzles, then the story structure behind PT is too big,"

   "But according to your vision, director, our game itself actually has little to do with the protagonist of the PT,"

  “The original intention of PT is to leave an open ending for players, which is a short story,”

   "Then, such a setting will inevitably mislead the players too much, which will lead to the diversion of players' attention, which is not conducive to the release of our official version."

   Sato from the main policy department has rich experience and precise measures, so he even denied the setting of [Dispelling Puzzles].

   Immediately afterwards, Okura also raised his hand:

   "In this case, I don't think it's appropriate to go on an expedition,"

   "This setting is too shallow and does not conform to the strong and subtle psychological tone of PT,"

   "It will make players feel that this road to horror is too child's play, and then destroy the sense of thickness we have worked so hard to create,"

   "I think this setting can also be passed."

  Hearing the words, all the supervisors also nodded in agreement.

  So, the [Adventure] setting was also rejected.

   In this way!

  Gu Sheng shrugged: "Then we only have [investigation] left?"

  Everyone thought for a while and nodded.

  However, Sato thought for a while:

   "But in this way, does it conflict with our game settings? After all, we have already explained in the game that the villa murder case has been solved, and the murderer has lost his mind and was taken away by the police..."

   "Investigable and not just the police can investigate,"

   Before Sato's voice fell to the ground, Yuki finally calmed down and said:

   "Can't the protagonist be a reporter? It's the kind of reporter who specializes in discovering obscure, weird, and bizarre news!"

   "The reporter heard that there is such a murderous house in Silent Hill, because the case is too appalling and the murderer is already insane,"

   "So with the idea of ​​digging deep into the inside story and restoring the real case, I came to Silent Hill to conduct investigations and visits,"

   "This is the content of this trial version."

   Hiss—! !

  Yuki's words!

   Immediately, all the executives present gasped!

   Wonderful!

   In this way!

  The behavioral logic of the protagonist of PT can be explained!

   Reasonable!

   And Gu Sheng was shocked by Yuki's whim! !

   Almost instantly!

  The turbulent inspiration swept through his mind like a surging tide!

reporter!

yes!

  A reporter who specializes in digging deep into obscure truths!

   This reporter named [Miles Upshur (Miles Upshur)] has always been committed to exposing the most obscure and inaccessible news truth!

   And today!

   After receiving news clues from insiders, he learned of the appalling events that took place in Silent Hill!

  So, with the most enthusiastic attitude towards his profession, he came to the haunted house of Silent Hill PT, experienced many reincarnations, and pieced together the truth of the matter with fragmented clues!

   And when Miles, who was full of joy, experienced a night of nightmares and finally escaped from the other world, drove his little jeep and left Silent Hill!

  In the thick fog, he will pass by James, who is in the other world, and run in the opposite direction.

  As the protagonist of the feature film, James will go deep into the depths of Silent Hill to find the truth about the letter from his deceased wife.

   And Miles will continue to embark on a journey to find the next truth, heading to Colorado——

   Jushan Mental Hospital.

   "It's all threaded! It's threaded! It's all threaded!"

  In an instant, Gu Sheng only felt his scalp go numb.

  Extremely excited, he jumped up from the chair, rushed to Yuki who was in a daze in the somatosensory cabin, and held up her clever head:

   "Comeonbabe! Uaresoooooooo—fvkingclever!! (Awesome shit! You're so **** smart!!

one stone two bird!

  Gu Sheng is so excited!

  Yuki's proposal not only gave the PT protagonist a reasonable identity setting!

   It can even be used as an easter egg to lead to the plot of another horror masterpiece!

   This is a huge easter egg!

   Another masterpiece will be independently developed by their Golden Wind!

   In this way!

  The reputation of "King of Horror Games" created by myself with Silent Hill will directly and positively affect the horror masterpiece they independently developed!

  I don't know whether other people's horror games will lose money or not.

but I!

   Gu Sheng!

  The horror game that came out of my hand, there is no loss! !

   There has never been such a beautiful tandem!

   For a moment, Gu Sheng only felt his heart agitated, and stretched out his hands!

   "Comeboys! Givemefive!!"

  Seeing the director who was so excited, as if he had won the jackpot in the lottery, everyone was dumbfounded!

ah?

  What?

  They had no way of knowing what Gu Sheng thought of in his mind.

  They only knew that once the setting of "reporter" was mentioned, the director seemed to go crazy.

  If Yuki wasn't a girl, the director might have kissed her just now, but he was so excited.

  However, although I don't know what the boss suddenly remembered.

  But everyone was very cooperative and stretched out their hands one after another.

   Papa Papa Papa—

  Gu Sheng was like a star, high-fiving everyone.

  Finally, he stretched out his hands and gave a big high five to Yuki, whose face was pink and slightly flushed.

  Good...good man...

  Yuki sat in the somatosensory cabin, his mind a little stagnant.

  The male hormonal charm that Gu Sheng burst out at that moment just now is like an unrivaled sharp spear, making it impossible to parry!

  Hi! !

  Yuki 'screamed' in his heart.

  It's hard to imagine, living under the same roof with such a man, what kind of fairy life Miao Miao lives every day!

  But I'm so hungry!

   A round of high fives!

  Gu Sheng also turned around and clapped his hands:

   "Everyone, I am very happy with the cooperation during this period, and I am also grateful for your care,"

   "And now, PT is about to participate in the exhibition, and our inspiration has once again sparked a blazing spark,"

   "In order to present this horror game benchmark more perfectly,"

   "I am here, I implore everyone, to make PT more complete and Silent Hill more amazing!"

Speaking of which.

  Seeing Gu Sheng nodding his head slightly, his tone was sincere:

   "Please everyone! (Japanese

   And all the directors of the entire PT project team also stood up one after another, bowing ninety degrees to Gu Sheng in unison!

   "Hay—!!"

  Early November, Lidong, evening.

  The jet-black navigator headlights are shining, driving on the road, weaving through the traffic.

  The atmosphere in the car was lively.

   "Hey, have you been to Akihabara? It is said that it is very exciting there!"

   "How are the people over there, do you make their main beauty draw ghosts every day?"

   "Do they call you sama?"

   "Aren't they particularly hot over there? Do you work overtime every day?"

"correct…"

   Questions came one after another, making Gu Sheng, who was sitting in the back row, a little dumbfounded.

good!

  Dongjin Video Game Festival is about to open!

  Gu Sheng declined Moriya's persuasion, and decided to take advantage of the gap between the development of the trial version and the official version to return to China.

   After all, as a horror game, Silent Hill is not a key recommendation project for Comera this time, and he does not need to attend the first-day press conference as a director to speak on stage.

   "I accept Mr. Moritani's wishes, but there are still people in the country that I am attached to. Besides, when "Silent Hill" is officially developed, I will lead the team back again, and we will have a good time with wine and talk."

   Gu Sheng said so.

  The words have already come to this point, and Moriya can only say goodbye reluctantly, and let Gu Sheng return to China for the time being, waiting for the formal signing of the cooperation contract between the two parties.

   The ones who came to pick up the plane were naturally none other than Lu Bian and Brother Dajiang.

   Along the way, the three brothers talked and laughed.

  Lu Bian Dajiang talked about the big and small things in the company recently, and all projects are proceeding in an orderly manner.

  Gu Sheng talked about what he saw and heard in Neon, about the development process of Silent Hill PT, about the super eggs he buried, and about the huge structure of Silent Hill itself!

good!

   After all, it is my own family, my own brother.

  Gu Sheng has always had no reservations about the land and the river.

   And the two are the same.

   Suddenly, there was a small climax in the car!

   "Fuck! This plan is so awesome! Wouldn't it be famous if it was made in this wave? It will directly become the overlord of horror games?"

  After listening to Lao Gu's idea, Da Jiang repeatedly marveled.

   And Lu Bian reminded in amazement:

   "By the way, Lao Gu, you didn't tell Comera about the project of the main body and the project of another work derived from the trial version, did you?"

   "I'm not stupid,"

   Gu Sheng smiled and said:

   "Not only did I not disclose it to Comera, but after we collectively preside over the project, this business plan can only be circulated in the hands of our own core management,"

   "To put it simply, it is to treat the people of Komera as outsourcers,"

  "Before the game development is completed, we must have full control over this business plan, lest they dump us after taking the complete business case."

   Who is Gu Sheng?

  Being human in two lifetimes, these twists and turns in the game circle are clear to him.

   Indeed!

  The Silent Hill PT project developed in cooperation with Comera has gone smoothly, and the cooperation with Sato, Okura, Yuki and others is also very harmonious.

   But that is Comera after all, not Golden Wind.

   That's neon, not Huaguo.

   That's my partner, not my best friend or family member.

  Where one should be kept, one must be kept after all.

   Talking!

  The navigator also drove into the Binjiang Yaju community and entered the underground garage.

   Woo.

  Engine stalls.

  The three get out of the car.

  Da Jiang helped Gu Sheng move down the half-empty suitcase and pushed it to him.

   "Let's go up and have dinner together."

   Seeing that the two of them were not moving, Gu Sheng beckoned.

   As for Lu Bian and Da Jiang, each of them lit a cigarette, looked at him with disgust, and even took two steps back.

   "Don't send it, can you fix this stupid head?"

  Lu Bian curled his lips, completely seeing through:

   "What are we going to do? Be a **** 2,500-watt super big light bulb? Is your electricity bill enough?"

   "Tsk, hey,"

  Gu Sheng blushed:

   "What are you talking about! I mean it sincerely! You don't want to catch me!"

   "Tomorrow, we will pick up tomorrow,"

   Dajiang also suppressed a smile:

   "It's inconvenient today, today...Brother Bian'er and his uncle are here today, so I can't drink cold beer."

  Land Bian:?

He gave Dajiang a look of 'You **** threw me out', and nodded helplessly: "Ah, yes, yes, my uncle is here, I can't drink cold, we are leaving, we will talk about it tomorrow, tomorrow Let's talk again..."

   Saying that, the two of them stopped chattering, hooked their shoulders together, waved at Gu Sheng with a cigarette between them, and withdrew.

"Why-"

  Gu Sheng watched the two of them get off and flick their clothes away, their handsome backs hiding their achievements and fame, and opened their mouths.

   rolled his eyes again.

   Then, smiling and shaking his head, he dragged the suitcase into the corridor, followed the elevator to the door of the house.

  Take a deep breath and step forward to press the fingerprint lock.

  Didi—chika—

  The house door opens.

  In the room, it was pitch black and the lights were off.

   No one seemed to be waiting for him to come home.

  PS: ask for a monthly pass
