"Walking with Darkness, there is a mystery in the name of this game.
"Currently we can see that this name has at least three meanings:
“First of all, the protagonist named the black cat who has made great achievements in the game ‘Dark’, so walking with Dark means walking with cats, which hints at a very important gameplay in the game.
"Secondly, according to the setting of this game, players are in danger in the sun, but they are safer in the dark. In the process of continuous improvement, if we want to avoid zombies, we must constantly hide in the darkness. This is also walking with darkness.
"Finally, judging from the plot of the game, this 'dark' can also refer to the dark side of human nature.
“In the game, those who have the dark side of human nature are not only those NPCs who deliberately want to plot against us and make us fall into the abyss, but also those plot characters who do not appear in the game are also a concentrated expression of the dark side of human nature.
"For example, what the researcher calls the big shots from the outside world.
"First of all, they started virus research out of the selfish desire to extend their lifespan, which caused a tragedy in this city.
"Secondly, in order to cover up the fact that the zombie virus was man-made, they did not take timely measures. They waited until zombies spread throughout the city before pretending to blockade the city.
"In the end, they ignored the survivors in the city and sent mechanical hunters to continue searching for research information. Then, whether they continued to keep the city or decided to drop nuclear bombs to destroy the city, it was not because of the survivors in the city
, but it depends on whether they can still obtain those materials and whether this city is still valuable to them.
"It can be said that these so-called 'big men' are the epitome of the evil of human nature.
"This side of the high wall is the apocalyptic hell, while the other side of the high wall is the normal world of singing and dancing, prosperity and beauty. This is a great irony, and it is also a concentrated expression of the evil of human nature of these big figures.
"The protagonist is in such a dark environment, holding on to the light of humanity alone.
"If we interpret it deeply, we can also dig out an unknown past from each NPC, and we can see the struggle of human nature in such a desperate apocalypse.
“And this theme fits perfectly with the genre of horror games.
"As a horror game, "Walking with Darkness" allows players to suffer, break defenses, and feel extreme fright when playing, forces players to remember the route, and uses a new punishment mechanism to spur players.
“But it also greatly enhances players’ sense of immersion in the protagonist in the game, allowing them to better understand the theme of the game.
"What's even more interesting is the English name of this game: gone with the dark.
"This sentence in English can be understood in many ways, it can be 'walk with the darkness', it can be 'carried away by the darkness', it can also be 'disappear with the darkness' or 'disappear in the darkness', and each interpretation
, in fact, it can be compared with a connotation in the game.
"In short, "Walking with Darkness" is definitely a rare masterpiece, especially in the horror game genre. It is unique and must be played!
"Players who haven't bought it yet, don't hesitate and place an order now! This game will definitely not disappoint you. The cute cats alone are worth the price of admission!"
At the end of the video, the barrage reached another peak.
"Good guy, let's see the map! Your map is a bit long!"
"I understand, we tricked Lao Niu into playing "Walking with Darkness", and Lao Niu tricked us into buying "Walking with Darkness". This is a cycle. When will retribution happen!"
"Stop pretending, you have said all this just to make us suffer. We won't be fooled!"
"I'm going to fool you, oh no, recommend it to other anchors. If the anchor plays it, it's like I'm playing it!"
…
The video ended in a happy and peaceful atmosphere. 404 Studio gained sales, the players gained happiness, Lao Niu gained traffic, and the world where only the little fat man was injured was achieved.
Not only Liu Liang, but also more and more UP owners have begun to analyze the content of "Walking with Darkness", and there are even some "dark experts" who over-interpret the plot.
However, over-interpretation itself is also a normal phenomenon. After all, after an excellent work becomes popular, it no longer belongs to the author alone.
In the 404 studio, everyone is not interested in working and keeps refreshing the web page, and every time there are some new surprises.
Li Rushan, on the other hand, was a little numb.
Make money, make money!
Anyway, it has been capped at 14 million. Even if there is any unexpected situation, it will be a matter of the next game. No matter what happens now, it has nothing to do with me...
However, at this moment, someone shouted again: "Hey, our company is on the hot search? But this topic..."
Everyone gathered around to take a look. It was true that "Walking with Darkness" was a hot search topic, but the content of this topic was a bit difficult to describe.
"The Blood Book 404 Studio starts playing "Walking with Darkness"!"
The popularity of this topic is soaring, and the comments from players below show how much they love this game.
"The thought that the originator of this game is still alive and well makes me sleepless!"
"That's right, the anchors have already suffered, how can the dog planners stay out of it!"
"It is unreasonable to let the players suffer such a big crime, and then they still lie down and count their money! Arrangements must be made!"
"Are you crazy? They are designers. You have designed the levels and monster mechanisms yourself, and you still want to stump them?"
"What's wrong with the designer? We can't generalize about the physiques of designers and designers. Wasn't there a designer who dropped his controller while playing a horror game he made?"
"That's right, I know the content of the game after watching the video, but do you dare to play it yourself? This is not the same thing at all."
"I think the main creator of this game should be very good at playing this game. After all, he has overall control over all aspects. But the same cannot be said for other designers. Those who design levels may not be familiar with monsters, and those who design monsters may not be familiar with levels.
Besides, this is a VR game! So what if they are all familiar with the game mechanics? The wall that should be impossible to climb will still not be climbed, and the threshold that should not be jumped over will still be impossible to jump over!"
"Yes, forget it as the main creator, no one else in the studio should run away!"
"It makes sense! 404 Studio, the book of thousands of people, has started playing "Walking with Darkness"! Count me in!"
"Damn it, this is what strangers hide. Don't let us catch you. Otherwise, we will make you play "Overcome Difficulties with Cats" a hundred times!"
Everyone is a little surprised that this kind of topic can be a hot search topic?
But when I think about it, it’s actually not that strange.
Because the game circle in this world has a concept, that is, a truly excellent game designer must at least clear his own game.
I don’t know when this concept was passed down, but it is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In addition, the game designers in this world obviously receive more attention from players than those game designers in Lu Zhixing's previous life.
In Lu Zhixing's previous life, only a handful of superstar producers could get the attention of fans. As for other ordinary game producers, not many people cared.
If the game is well done, players will only experience the game seriously and will not have to look at the hens laying eggs.
Unless you have done something particularly outrageous, you will only gain a higher reputation when you are scolded.
Generally, this kind of designer will be dubbed a "Class A war criminal" by players and will be infamy for thousands of years.
In this world, players pay much more attention to designers, especially those with outstanding styles and special content, and are full of curiosity.
"Walking with Darkness" produced by 404 Studio is in line with the point of "outstanding style and special content", and in a sense, it is quite outrageous.
After all, so many players and streamers are suffering in this game.
Therefore, players came up with a repertoire: watching designers play the games they made!
In the past, this repertoire was usually some difficult action games. Watching the designers being tortured to death by the monsters they designed can give players an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
And now, "Walking with Darkness" has also received this treatment.
Liu Bo looked at Lu Zhixing: "Brother Lu, what should we do? Do you want to agree?"
Lu Zhixing smiled slightly: "Promise! Why not agree? In our 404 Studio, the word 'coward' does not exist in the dictionary.
"Anyway, it's you they want to see. It's nothing to do with me."
