Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

In the darkness, a low narration, a strange BGM and a car radio mixed with electric current sounded.

‘My name is Miles Upshur, an ordinary reporter. In the remote Colorado mountains, a long-abandoned mental hospital has reopened - Giant Mountain Mental Hospital.’

‘But a mysterious person wrote me a letter, telling me that there was a huge secret hidden deep in this mental hospital. In order to investigate this matter, I came here. '

Accompanied by a narrative next to it, the background world of the game is briefly introduced.

Zhou Qing didn't have much psychological and emotional fluctuations in this regard.

Because most horror games or horror movies are like this.

After the narration, the game screen appeared.

It's just that it's still an uncontrollable mode.

The protagonist drives the car towards Jushan Mental Hospital.

The dim background and the car radio with electric current immediately set off the atmosphere.

Soon the car arrived at its destination and stopped at an entrance to Jushan Mental Hospital.

A guide to the game also appears. Pick up the co-pilot's camera and there is a letter.

The content of this letter is the narration that appeared before. As a reporter, the protagonist came to Jushan Mental Hospital to find out what happened because he wanted to make big news.

After picking up the letter, a task prompt was also displayed on the game screen: Enter Jushan Mental Hospital.

Then the player can perform a free action in the game.

The dark night, combined with the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves, and the fact that a mental hospital was not a very friendly place at first sight, made Zhou Qing take a deep breath.

"This game has some meaning and feeling, but it's just a little bit."Zhou Qing took a deep breath, stood there and looked at the first-person perspective, and became a little familiar with the operation of the game.

In the unattended guard box at the door, Zhou Qing found a battery.

But the next moment there was a clicking sound. , after walking out of the guard box, I found that the door I came before was locked by someone.

"A common tactic used in horror games, is there no way out? But the atmosphere was created really well."Zhou Qing looked like he had seen through it, then walked inside and began to look at the surrounding environment. It has a European architectural style. The entire mental hospital is extremely silent, but some windows have lights that flicker on and off.

It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at him in a bright room.

The door to the mental hospital was locked and there was no way to open it. After wandering around for a while, Zhou Qing finally found a small door at the left iron door. hole, drilled in from the inside.

What follows is a prompt for game operations.

Actions such as running, jumping, climbing and crouching.

And the camera and details of the game are also very good. This is what Zhou Qing has done in some previous horror games. It was something I had never experienced before.

Through the headphones, Zhou Qing could clearly hear the male protagonist's breathing heavily.

Following the instructions, he came to the window and suddenly all the lights in the room went out.

The whole room fell into darkness.、

"Turn off the lights and kill, close the door and kill, that's it, I'm not afraid at all! Zhou Qing took a deep breath and said that he had seen many small scenes like this.

However, the dark scenes around him made Zhou Qing a little scared.

Fear of darkness is an instinctive manifestation of human beings.

However, the game obviously does not allow players to play in the dark all the time.

Following the prompts, Zhou Qing turned on the night vision function of the camera.

A nearby scene can also be clearly observed through the night vision mode of the camera.

The only difference , that is, after turning on the night market mode, the miserable green tone of the camera screen, combined with the sound of wind and rustling leaves outside the house, and the crunching sound of mice stepping on the floor, make the entire game atmosphere even more weird. Got it

"It’s not a big problem. What scares you most about horror games is scaring yourself. Zhou Qing encouraged himself in his heart, and then took the camera and started to explore.

Pushing open a door that was ajar, Zhou Qing carefully explored the surrounding scene.

When he came to the center of the room, suddenly, behind him The TV hanging on the wall suddenly turned on, with a picture of snowflakes playing on it, and at the same time there was a sharp scream.

Zhou Qing, who was holding the mouse, was frightened, and then looked at the TV with a picture of snowflakes behind him, and looked at it for a long time. Take a breath

"Damn you, Nainai! It scared me!"

As his heart slowly calmed down, Zhou Qing couldn't help but uttered a curse word.

He also knew that this kind of sudden shock was a common method used in horror games.

But if he knew that he was known, he would still be shocked when he experienced it.

But let's talk about this Does the night vision device have durability?

If the battery is not enough later, won't you have to play the game in a dark scene all the time?

Seeing that the power in the upper right corner is almost visible to the naked eye, Zhou Qing is also thinking, this It made him feel a little nervous without knowing it. He continued to explore towards the mental hospital, and then came to the corridor of the mental hospital. It was a long corridor, but it was particularly narrow. There were some mottled blood stains on the walls, and there were some mottled blood stains around it. There were closed and locked doors on both sides, and in these rooms, there was a sound like the clicking of shoes on the floor.

Listening to the sound effects in the headphones, Zhou Qing also felt a little tingly. Ma.

Listening to the gasping of the protagonist in the game, Zhou Qing's own breathing began to get heavier.

Although there were no direct horror scenes, Zhou Qing already felt a little panicked.

He was completely immersed in the game. Went inside.

The not-so-long corridor plus the psychological cues generated by the sound effects and environment.

It can be said that the more you pay attention to the surrounding environment here, the slower you walk, the easier it is to feel fear.

Just like Zhou Qing now.

Passing through the narrow gap and climbing into Heiblondong's ventilation duct according to the system's guidance,

Zhou Qing came to another wider corridor. He carefully pushed open and came to a closed door. Zhou Qing pushed it open cautiously.

As the door was pushed open, the lights in the dark room suddenly flashed, and the background sound suddenly became sharper. At the same time, a corpse hanging behind the door swung out and flew out.

"ah!"

"ah!!!"

The protagonist in the computer and Zhou Qing screamed almost simultaneously.

Zhou Qing's whole body shook in fright.
