Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

It's not unexpected.

After the"Dark Souls" prequel was launched.

Soon, a trend about Dark Souls started among the player community.

At the same time, there are game community platforms and major online platforms.

I was also blown away by the prequel game"Dark Souls".

After all, the topic of this game can be said to be quite good, and it itself has a hard-core masochistic attribute label.

The effect of live broadcast is also good.

Plus a blessing from the previous work.

Although the prequel to"Dark Souls" is even more difficult than before in terms of difficulty.

But sales were not low at all.

While ensuring the quality of the entire game.

Compared with the original"Dark Soul", it is more of a slowly fermenting word of mouth, thus driving the continuous increase in sales.

This time, it jumped directly onto the sales list.

Similarly, the reputation of"Dark Soul" on the Internet has passed an early stage, and has become higher and higher as players experience more content.

A hot topic in the game itself is also rising.

Although it is not as good as the previous"League of Legends" global finals, it is a grand event that transcends the gaming industry.

But within the gaming circle, the topic of"Dark Soul" is absolutely phenomenal.

Of course, the popularity of this topic far exceeds the sales volume.

After all,"Dark Soul" itself is a hardcore game.

In fact, it is destined that most players will still choose to watch it.

Instead of playing it yourself.

Although the difficulty curve of the game is very reasonable, most players can pass it as long as they persist.

But perseverance itself is a difficult thing.

But for players who like games like"Dark Souls".

Then this is a carnival.

Especially those players who like the plot of"Dark Souls".

In the prequel, they finally sorted out the background world view of"Dark Soul" through fragments of content one by one.

The plot and world background of the entire soul world have been completed.

Of course it's just a rough outline.

Because the background worldview of the game itself does not have a truly clear definition.

This in itself is the biggest feature of soul games, and it is also the biggest charm.

Among the various fragmented stories, there are still a lot of gaps.

These blank scrolls are left to players to color.

After all, in the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand different worlds of black souls.

But there is some timeline content.

However, with the first batch of players clearing the level and collecting items, a general idea has been sorted out.

There are two core elements of the Dark Souls series.

One is fire, and the other is soul.

The world of Black Soul was ruled by ancient dragons in its earliest days.

They existed long before other races of humanity, or even before the birth of fire.

Then the First Fire came, and intelligent creatures discovered the 'King Soul' and 'Black Soul' in it.

Among them, the winners of king souls are Sun King Gwen, Tomb King Nite and the Witch of Izaris.

Dark souls are obtained by so-called dwarves.

Under the betrayal of White Dragon Hiss, Gu Long was defeated by Gwen, Nite and the Witch.

Then we entered the Age of Fire.

At the same time, the age of fire is also called the age of gods.

But it is a pity that the power brought by the First Fire cannot last forever.

Instead, as time went by, it gradually faded away, and the power of the king soul possessed by Ge Wen and others also began to dim at the same time.

Nite returned to the giant's cemetery to live in seclusion after the war, while White Dragon Hiss became a mad scientist and eventually drove himself crazy.

The witch tried to use the soul she held to create a new First Fire, but her experiment turned into a tragedy

"The"New First Fire" lost control and swallowed her, her daughter and followers, mutating and twisting into a"hotbed of chaos" and"a demon that continues to fester". The

Sun King Gwen chose to sacrifice himself to spread the fire of the first generation.

Just combined with the story of"Dark Soul".

Players have different views on Gwen's behavior and the subsequent fire transmission. They are mainly divided into two factions.

One of the factions believes that the fire transmission is a pure conspiracy.

Players The undead he played, and then rang two bells, only proved that he was qualified to transmit fire. In addition, the protagonist is not the only undead, and in the era of Lordland, the undead were the undead who were sent to distant places. Therefore , many players feel that this is just an excuse made up by Gwen and other gods. The

Age of Fire symbolizes the era ruled by gods such as Sun King Gwen.

That’s why Gwen and the others carry out fire transmission at all costs, just to let people The age of fire can last forever.

It also allows the rule of God to continue.

And judging from the ending of"Dark Soul", the prequel successfully passed the fire, and the raging fire was like a furnace.

But before, it was only a small fire. Clusters of sparks.

It can be said that the power of fire will inevitably decline and go out.

But after the flame is extinguished?

Will a new flame be born or fall into death?

No one knows.

And the NPCs in the game are afraid of the dark age. , if you look carefully, you will find that most of them are NPCs with divine power.

But at the same time, there are a group of players who hold an opposing attitude.

That is, the world snake in the game does not seem to be a good person.

At the same time, although Gwen established In the Age of Fire, the Divine Court was established.

But it was accompanied by three safety locks.

Bonfire, undead parade, and bell ringing.

This entire system has only one purpose.

That is, after the last Xin King burned almost all the fire, the first fire When the inheritance of the world is on the verge of extinction.

A new group of undead heroes are spawned. They collect soul energy in different ways and turn themselves into carriers of huge amounts of soul energy.

Then the heroes compete with each other, and the final winner kills the living corpse. The old salary king dedicated himself to spreading fire.

This is what the Sun King Gwen did.

Of course, there are other players' opinions, but no one can convince anyone.

After all, there is really no conclusive evidence.

However, various players in the game have different opinions. The character has moved countless players.

Relying on ordinary equipment, he pursues the sun and defeats Gwen in his own world.

The gesture of praising the sun can be said to be the most popular in the world of black souls. The existence of Guangyan.

He signed a contract with the monster of the abyss just to go deep into the abyss, defeat the Lord of the Abyss, and save Artreus, who was constantly being devoured by the abyss. He was moved by the spirit of the player and decided to do something, but he sacrificed himself in a small way. The discouraged brother in the Lund ruins.

Gwendelin, White Spider, Ji Yalan...

Behind each NPC, there is a story that makes players deeply moved.
