Chapter 8 Journey

The game Lin You thought of was "Journey".

When Lin You played "Journey" for the first time in his previous life, his understanding of the game was completely subverted.

The strong but gentle artistic style uses only a limited number of elements to create stunning images and awe-inspiring grand scenes.

There is no weapon prop system, no upgrading to fight monsters and make money.

All the operations are to move, jump, and trigger mechanisms. All you have to do is move forward, toward the snowy mountain at the end, and witness everything in your journey.

There is no line in the whole process, and only through the changing design of the scene from the sand sea, the underground, the tower to the snow-capped mountains, plus some relics and ruins, it successfully creates a magnificent and ups and downs plot, which brings a strong emotional impact.

This game has countless shining points: the simple but endlessly interesting cloak flying, the progression of levels, other players who are destined to meet by chance, the guidance and rendering of the player's emotions, the epic background music... and so on.

.

The volume is not large and the process is not long, but it allows players to be completely immersed in the flow of mind created by it, and experience loneliness, Zen, encounters and farewells.

Whether you are a casual player or a hardcore player, or even someone who is playing the game for the first time, you can easily appreciate the fun and beauty of the game.

Such a work allows Lin You to perfectly exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses, avoid a large number of cumbersome designs, and amplify the two core points of "scene experience" and "travel experience" tenfold and a hundredfold.

Holding a controller and controlling a villain to slide on the sand in the monitor can bring such pure joy. If the players can experience it themselves, they will be so happy!

Even he himself was looking forward to it.

But before starting work, he had to briefly respond to NetDragon.

Tips for daily life: Before slapping someone, you should try to raise your hand as far back as possible, so that you can use all your strength when slapping.

It doesn’t take much time anyway.

"Xiaomeng, help me clock up updates on Lingxi."

"Xiaomeng is here! Ready, what does the master want to send?"

"Although you have different opinions and your blessings are weird, I still accept them generously. I hope you won't cry too loudly in a few days."

A monitor and a keyboard appeared in front of Xiao Meng, and she started typing on the keyboard.

In fact, Xiaomeng only needs to control the mobile phone to directly input the content and then publish it. There is no need for such a scene of on-site typing.

To a certain extent, this scene is equivalent to the loading interface, which is completely unnecessary and a pure waste of computing power...

Lin You sighed helplessly again: "Forget it, just be happy."

"Xiaomeng has done it! Does the master want Xiaomeng to read the review to you?"

"Please don't!" Lin You didn't have to read it to imagine how shady the current comments were, and he didn't want to make himself unhappy.

Before a new device is released, he doesn't even plan to read online reviews.

The reality was exactly as he imagined.

This confident response made countless netizens feel very dissatisfied.

In their opinion, Lin You, a college student, already had bad spots, and he took the initiative to provoke, insulted big companies, and insulted netizens. Now the big companies have come forward to respond. The comparison is so different that the results are already obvious.

But he is stubborn and refuses to admit defeat.

The favorite thing of Internet mobs is to press their heads and force people to admit their mistakes.

So as expected, the comment area fell into trouble again.

"You have such a big face and you still accept blessings. Are you worthy?"

"Hello, I work in a lock shop. Do you have keys? How many keys do you have?"

"This wave, this wave can't see the coffin without crying, and the ax can't be felt until the neck is broken."

"If you ask me, why bother with this? Just sue for damage to goodwill and see it in court."

"What the person above said is right. We have seen this kind of over-heated behavior a lot. As soon as we see the court summons, we will immediately become scared!"

"@Lingxiofficial, why haven't you banned such a person? Are you keeping it for the Chinese New Year?"

Of course it is impossible for the Lingxi official to ban Lin You. Of course, big companies can easily see through the appearance to see the essence. NetDragon bought a navy army and paid big V to lead the rhythm. It is obvious that the butt is not straight in the first place.

Besides, for social platforms, right or wrong is not important, only traffic is important.

They watched the war between NetDragon and Lin You intensify, and the traffic soared, and they wished they could just give Lin You a two-year membership to express their feelings.

Ban? Impossible!

Lin You didn't care about it anymore and started working on "Journey" with Xiao Meng.

The first step is very simple. With the help of Xiao Meng, slightly increase the intensity of nerve signals, stimulate specific memory nerve areas, and copy and store all the memories about "Journey". Xiao Meng then reproduces the scene and builds

The initial framework.

Then the space is appropriately extended. According to the original game's two or three hours' duration, playing it on a monitor may feel like the rhythm is just right, but if you play it in person, it will feel a little tight.

After all, you see the next target at a glance from a high place, then walk for three minutes to get there, then five minutes to the next target, and four minutes to the next...

The game may become a boring rushing game, always moving towards the next goal, ignoring the distant scenery, losing the artistic conception, and losing the fun.

Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the distance and fine-tune the distribution of runes and murals. There should be guidance, but it does not need to be too precise, so that players can visit and explore on their own and immerse themselves in it.

After all, "journey" is the meaning of it all.

After finishing this step, Lin You has to adjust the soundtrack according to the changes in the spatial scope, so that the soundtrack can adapt to the changes in the space and set off a good atmosphere.

After the game world is set up, the hard work has just begun.

Because the world is still empty at this time, the sun has no temperature, the sand does not flow, and the wind does not blow the clothes. This is still a world without a soul.

The next step is the most critical step: the infusion of feelings.

Xiao Meng found the most suitable parts from Lin You's sensory memory and injected them into the game scene.

Standing there, Lin You felt the sun begin to heat up, the desert became dry, the fine sand began to flow, and the hot wind mixed with rough gravel blew through his hair...

"Wait a minute, Xiaomeng, the heat has been reduced by one-third, and the sand and gravel blown by the wind have been reduced to one-tenth. And the desert must be clean, and sand cannot get into clothes and shoes. Clothes can be dirty, but they cannot get into them.

The sand must ensure that players feel comfortable."

After all, the players are invited to play the game, to "play", not to practice, let alone ascetics.

"Okay! Xiao Meng is changing!"

The softness of the sand, the depth of the quicksand, the height of jumping and gliding, the speed of falling from different heights and changes in wind force, the way the mechanism moves after interaction, and the strength of the vibration, all must be carefully adjusted.

Otherwise, if you fail to notice a detail, problems may arise.

For example, when Lin You was testing gliding with a long scarf, his arms and feet were entangled in the scarf in the air, and the gliding method he set was to use his arms to vibrate the cloak.

As a result, he fell headfirst from a height of more than 20 meters. He could only scream and wave his arms in vain, which frightened him half to death.
