Nightmare Lord's virtual game

Zhang Xingyu is thinking about the creation of the next nightmare game.

First of all, it is naturally a hard-core action game. Currently, Zhang Xingyu has two works in mind, and both are extremely popular works in the original world.

The first one is called"Despicable Foreigner"》………………kindness? Why do you feel this fame is so strange?

Zhang Xingyu thought hard and then remembered that the real name was"Bloodborne Curse". (This game should be coming to PC soon, but I haven’t played it yet. If you like action games, don’t miss it~) Well

, there’s no way, Despicable Foreigner is so famous that it even became an internet buzzword for a time, and It has a very wide range of applications. For example, in games, because Bloodborne is very difficult, and unlike Dark Souls, you cannot use shields to circle enemies. Players die miserably in the game, so many Players have developed"alternative playing methods", which are commonly referred to as BUG playing methods, such as the most famous priest card tombstone playing method. Later, any player who uses BUG playing methods can be calledDespicable Stranger (the original word is that the NPC of the game refers to the protagonist controlled by the player as the Despicable Stranger).

Not just in games, but in reality, people who don't play by common sense can also be called"despicable foreigners". It would be more appropriate if that person is not a local.

《"Bloodborne" is a hard-core action game with an obvious Cthulhu style. Everyone has a different understanding of the so-called Cthulhu style. For Zhang Xingyu, the Cthulhu style must first have an obvious visual style. , that is darkness, distortion, nightmare, and indescribable. In Bloodline, as the level goes deeper, the above four words become more obvious in the game environment.

Of course, the visual style is just an appearance. It also needs to have several core elements. For example, human beings are very small, knowledge and truth are very dangerous, too much knowledge can make people crazy, and human beings are also very ignorant. When they step into unknown areas to seek knowledge, they often fail. Bringing tragedy, the unknown itself is the biggest fear of mankind. It is obvious that Bloodborne has a distinct Cthulhu style, which is reflected in the game. That is, the game not only makes people want to throw the controller, smash the keyboard, and beat the monitor In addition to the difficulty level (can't afford it), there's also the game's unique style - Bloodborne brings players a"beautiful" (horrible) world.

Bloodborne is all about the town's style, characters, and monster settings (and there are many details that are horrifying to think about). Originally, Bloodborne could completely rely on the environment, worldview, etc. It is a horror game, but after all, the game is positioned as a hard-core action game, so although the style of the game tends to be horror-style, compared to orthodox horror games, such as"Zero Red Butterfly"》、《silent Hill》、《Resident Evil 7》、《"Escape" and the like, the level of horror in a single round is obviously inferior.

However, Zhang Xingyu has a problem, that is, the Nightmare World version of the game is a"real-person experience". Compared with the original game, players observe the game through a screen. In the case of real-person experience, it will undoubtedly be terrifying. many.

This is also normal. For example, when Resident Evil 7 was launched, there was a VR version. Rumor has it that the VR version was really scary. Many players who have played VR said they would never dare to play the VR version again! (But one of the characteristics of horror games is that even if you are scared to death, you still want to play!)

——However, even the VR version is not as good as the real person experience!

Zhang Xingyu felt that if he really created a Cthulhu-style horror game world like"Bloodborne", just the eerie and terrifying environment in the game would frighten the players to the point where they would not dare to enter the game in the end and would have to deal with it. Trembling at the portal of the game world, such as a middle school girl who is afraid of ghosts...

Not to mention, a major feature of the nightmare world is a wave of"epic" enhancements to the original game, and the enhancements include not only monsters , naturally including the environment. If the nightmare version of Bloodborne is more terrifying than the original game...

But, should the game environment be weakened? But if you do that, is Bloodborne still Bloodborne?

Just when Zhang Xingyu was worried about how to modify the Bloodborne Curse, the tool man... no, it was the coolie... no, it was the"Great Lord of Nightmares" who seemed to have discovered the game that Zhang Xingyu wanted to create. At the beginning, the Lord of Nightmares had not yet I don't care, after all, I just finished the new map and new monsters of Monster Hunter. I am a little tired and want to rest... Then, the Nightmare Lord's eyes lit up.

"What? Is this all a worry? let me——！"Then the Lord of Nightmares snatched away the creation of the game world

——Why is this guy the Lord of Nightmares so enthusiastic?

Zhang Xingyu was a little confused. He remembered that the last time the Lord of Nightmares was keen on creating a game world, it was when he was creating the Demon King's Courtyard in Dark Souls... Wait, could it be said that this blood curse was also created by the Lord of Nightmares? Fancy it?

Suddenly, Zhang Xingyu broke out in a cold sweat, because he suddenly remembered something, that is, the world view of the game Bloodborne is very similar to the original world of Lord of Nightmares... it seems!

Bloodborne Curse also involves dreams and nightmares, and the Lord of Nightmares... You can tell from this guy's name that this guy has an inseparable relationship with nightmares. Not only that, the ancient gods and superiors in the game are Can't we just think of him as the Lord of Nightmares?!

The Lord of Nightmares pulls mortals into dreams, allowing them to experience terror and gain energy. It seems to be exactly the same as Bloodborne and the terror of hunters trapped in the hunter's dream!

In the game, mortals want to obtain the knowledge of gods, but in the end they cause the greatest trouble, which is more in line with the taste of the Lord of Nightmares. After all, the world where the Lord of Nightmares lived was invaded by mages, and the nightmares The creature is so miserable.

However, many of the mages who invaded the nightmare world did not end well. Later, under the crazy counterattack of the nightmare creatures, many mages ended up being very miserable. Especially after the nightmare fox gained god-level power, the nightmare world became a restricted area..

In Bloodborne, humans ended up becoming evil in order to obtain forbidden knowledge. The same goes for the mages. Are they very similar?

——Wait, Lord of Nightmares, please be merciful, I don’t want the nightmare version of"Bloodborne" to become a super horror game that"no one cares about"!

Zhang Xingyu almost wanted to shout out, but then he swallowed it back, because Zhang Xingyu only completed the most basic settings of the Bloodborne Curse World. The improvement of the game world originally had to be done by the Lord of Nightmares. Originally, Zhang Xingyu still had I was thinking about how to let the Lord of Nightmares, who rarely takes a break, work as a coolie. Now that the Lord of Nightmares has taken the initiative to work as a coolie... then, let him go!

As for what kind of Bloodborne Curse the Lord of Nightmares will create in the end... Well, let's wait until the game world is almost complete. If it doesn't work, just work hard and make major modifications!

Different from the beginning, recently, the Lord of Nightmares seems to have understood some of the essence of the game. It should, maybe, probably... don't worry too much.

Zhang Xingyu thought to himself, and then began to design other game worlds
