Almighty Video Game Designer

Zou Zhuo went back to the living room and ordered a cup of milk tea from the front desk, trying to ease the trauma in his heart.

"How was it? did you have fun? Aren't you happy?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Zou Zhuo's mouth twitched,"happy my ass!" Manager, this game seems to be more op than the previous game, right? Aren't you afraid of dying in the game?"

Chen Mo chuckled,"I told you that I'll make it harder than before. I never lie or exaggerate. If I say that it's harder than before, I'll make you feel it!"

Zou Zhuo facepalmed."Manager, are you being honest in the wrong place?!"

"Where are you?" Chen Zhao asked."Where are you?"

Zou Zhuo thought for a moment,"uh, on a bridge, I met a bull-headed demon and was told to leave."

"Oh, that's still early." Chen Mo said,"you haven't left the novice village yet, but you've found the way to the undead town outside the city."

Zou Zhuo narrowed his eyes."So, manager, you purposely connected all the high-level scenarios around Firelink sacrificial grounds just to trick me?" At first, I ran to an area called the ronde Junior's ruins, and was tortured to death by the spirits there ..."

"Yeah," Chen Mo laughed,"that's right. It's a map that's only available in the later stages of the game."

Zou Zhuo was shocked,'a map that only goes in the middle and late stages? I was wondering why I was instantly killed ... Manager, you're too unkind. Can't you mark a place that you only go to in the middle and late stages? Or you can lock the door and get the key before you can go. "

"Aiya, how can I do that?" Chen Mo shrugged."That's what the game is about. The ronde ruins is connected to the Firelink sacrificial grounds, so I can't just change the plot."

Zou Zhuo was confused,"manager, don't you know who wrote the plot?" That's all up to you, you can change it however you want!"

"Of course not." Chen Mo shook his head. It's just like how many authors rely on their characters to push the plot forward when they're writing. It's not up to the author to write whatever he wants. "

"It's the same with making games. When designing the game's background, the designer has to treat the game world as a real world and let the various characters in the game push the development of the plot. This way, the game's plot will appear more real ... So, I don't have the final say in the game's plot, you still have to ask the characters in the game. Helios Gwyn has decided that the ronde Jr. Remains are right below Firelink's sacrificial grounds. There's nothing I can do. "

Zou Zhuo's mouth twitched,"you're right, manager, I almost believed you ..."

Chen Mo chuckled and continued,""Besides, we have to give the players a lot of choices. Maybe some players just like to start from the ronde junior ruins? Maybe they feel that the undying town outside the city is too weak and there's no challenge at all, so they want to challenge the high-level maps directly. We should also provide these players with the corresponding convenience. "

Zou Zhuo was frustrated,"manager, I'm afraid that these players don't even make up 1% of the game?!"

Chen Mo said righteously,"are you looking down on this 1%?" So what, 1% of the players weren't players? We also have to consider their thoughts, right?"

Zou Zhuo thought for a long time and finally said,""What you said makes so much sense, I actually can't refute it ..."

Chen Mo chuckled and said in a low voice,""Of course, I've been trained. My mouth is not smooth, how can I trick those programmers to obediently help you with the functions?"

Zou Zhuo was stunned,"what did you say, manager?"

Chen Zhao smiled. Take a break, you still have to clear the prequel of Dark Souls. "

Zou Zhuo's face was bitter. He felt like he had just jumped into a fire pit ...

Why did he raise a flag when he had nothing to do? He was really pushing himself into the fire pit!

……

The news that the prequel of Dark Souls had been developed had spread, and many Dark Souls fans had come to the experience store to try out the game.

However, Chen Mo only gave zou Zhuo the green light to try it out, while the others would only be able to try it out tomorrow.

That was why many players were itching to play; they had thought that the prequel to Dark Souls was still far away; so they did not look forward to it. But now that he heard that it was done, he still had to wait for a day before he could play. It was simply torture waiting.

These people surrounded zou Zhuo because they knew that zou Zhuo had already tried the game, so they wanted to get some useful information from him.

As for why zou Zhuo could play first? Well, everyone was highly suspicious that he might have made an unspeakable deal with the store manager!

Zou Zhuo seemed to have become a celebrity all of a sudden. Many old players of Dark Souls came over and asked him questions.

"How is it? Is the prequel of Dark Souls fun?"

"I heard that there are a lot of big shots in the plot, such as Tomb King NEET and the witch of y 'zaris. Have you seen these bosses?"

"By the way, what is the so-called dark soul? Did the prequel mention it?"

"What are the bosses in the prequel? Are there any Lords of Cinder left?"

Zou Zhuo felt a little embarrassed. Even though he had played for a long time today, most of the time was spent on corpse running. He really didn't know how to answer these questions.

Zou Zhuo didn't know what to say, especially when he asked if the prequel to Dark Souls was fun.

"Yes, to be honest, I haven't played for long. I just passed the first gatekeeper boss and haven't even seen the shadow of the second boss yet."

"The difficulty ... It's still the same, but in the manager's own words, the level design seems to have improved again ..."

"As for the plot ... It seems that the plot this time is much grander than the previous game. The plot says that after ringing two bells, one will know the truth of the undead's fate. It might be about some major settings, but this game is too long. I haven't even seen the shadow of the bell ..."

"You're asking me if the prequel was fun? Yes, it's very fun, I can't stop!"

These people were Dark Souls 'loyal fans and had been itching to play for a long time. After hearing zou Zhuo's words, they couldn't wait to get into the game cabin and play.

"I knew that the manager's level was so high, the prequel must be fun! I'll definitely come to the experience store early tomorrow!"

"Me too. There will definitely be a lot of people tomorrow. I might not even be able to get a seat in the game cabin."

Dark Souls 'fans gathered together and discussed it. Moreover, they were all very interested in the prequel of Dark Souls, which would be released in the experience store tomorrow.

Zou Zhuo was the only one who made a cross in front of his chest,""Amitabha, I wish you success in your tribulation ..."

However, zou Zhuo didn't expect that his malicious words would bring him an unexpected disaster ...
