Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall?

In a blink of an eye!

November is approaching.

The development cycle of PT is also nearing completion.

The trial version has entered the final testing stage, and the supervisors of the production team have also tried it out.

Theoretically speaking, this experience is not for "playing games", but for finding subtle problems from the perspective of their respective fields, and then making final fine-tuning of the game.

And as a game developer, by the end of the development stage, he has actually become numb to his game.

No matter how passionate the plot is, how much brain-burning suspense, how scary Jumpscare you are.

After watching it one hundred and eighty times a day for several months, I have long been tired of aesthetics.

It's like the master chef who is a full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasties does not eat the banquet, and the painter of the painting does not rush to his own role.

so.

Usually when it comes to the experience stage, the designers and the main responsible people usually go through the process with a blank face.

but!

The project "Silent Hill PT" seems a bit different.

The PT project team does not include Gu Sheng, there are a total of eight supervisors.

The three supervisors are the shrewd Sato, the otaku Okura, and the beautiful and cheerful Yuki.

Under the three, there are two deputy directors in the main policy and main program departments, and Yuki has another deputy director under him.

Eight people!

Take turns to experience!

At first, everyone was chatting and laughing, and all of them held their heads high, and wanted to go to the PT game world with a professional attitude to take a final look and find professional problems.

result!

eight people.

The shortest time was two minutes, and the longest was only seven minutes.

Standing in and coming out limply, each leg was like noodles, as if the bones had been pulled out, his face was pale and dripping with cold sweat.

I can't examine it.

Can't look at it at all.

I didn't even have the guts to open my eyes.

This can no longer be classified as a horror game.

This is the real projection of Director Gu's twisted and abnormal psychology.

Everyone who enters the game will truly feel the trauma of the horror game fairy SamGu!

The unprecedented pressure caused many people to not even see the shadow of the female ghost. Just walking around the narrow corridor of the villa twice, their heart rate exceeded the standard and they had difficulty breathing.

And as the leader of the art team of the game, Yuki, who is responsible for the original painting, modeling, UI, scenes, etc., can't stand it when he is about to reach the fourth round of reincarnation!

Because in the fourth lap, players will face Lisa, the female ghost in PT.

Even though she painted the modeling skin with her own hands!

but!

When Yuki met him, he still couldn't help being traumatized, and was kicked out of the neural connection of the somatosensory cabin with a snap.

laugh--

When the hatch opened, Yuki's face was pale and he was stunned!

After being silent for more than half a minute, seeing that Yuki still had no intention of speaking, Gu Sheng couldn't help feeling a little worried, and stretched out his hand to shake in front of Yuki:

"Yuki, are you... okay?"

"...not particularly good,"

Yuki slowly came back to his senses, his throat moved up and down, his eyes were still a little sluggish:

"I'm thinking about a question."

"what is the problem?"

Gu Sheng was curious.

Seeing that Yuki seems to have restarted his brain that was frightened to shut down a little bit, and sorted out his thoughts:

"According to the setting of the game, killing Lisa's husband is actually crazy and arrested by the police,"

"Then where did the protagonist, the 'I' in the game, come from?"

"Why did I come to this haunted house? To explore? To clarify? Or to investigate?"

"Or to put it bluntly...why did I come here to die?"

Yuki's frightened question hit the soul directly, making everyone in the project team stunned.

Even Gu Sheng was taken aback.

That's right.

For a long time, the origin of the protagonist of this trial version has not been introduced throughout the game.

No explanation, no explanation, no background.

It seems that it is only regarded as a carrier of experience, a pure tool man.

It's not that Gu Sheng is lazy.

Because in his previous life, the story of PT stopped abruptly at this point, there is no official version, and he doesn't know the origin of the protagonist of PT!

I thought to myself that this is just a trial version, and the background of the protagonist is not important, so I blurted it out.

But today, Yuki's inspiration broke out, and he suddenly asked, which reminded him.

yes.

The protagonist of PT, why is he willing to come to this apartment to die?

There must always be logic in human actions.

The same is true in games.

Since the motivation of the protagonist of PT will always be a mystery, can I add a small easter egg to explain the origin of the protagonist while ensuring that the main body of the game remains unchanged?

Like Yuki said.

Adventure? Confused? investigation?

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng pulled the office chair with great interest and sat down:

"That's a good question, so what kind of identity do you think we will add to him to make it more reasonable?"

All the executives look at me, and I look at you.

After thinking for a moment, Sato first raised his hand to signal:

"Anyway, I think the option of dispelling puzzles can be passed first,"

"Because if it is to solve puzzles, then the story structure behind PT is too big,"

"But according to your vision, director, our game itself actually has little to do with the protagonist of the PT,"

"The original intention of PT is to leave an open ending for players, which is a short story,"

"Then, such a setting will inevitably mislead the players too much, which will lead to the diversion of the players' attention, which is not conducive to the release of our official version."

Sato, who is in the main policy department, has rich experience and precise measures, so he even denied the setting of [Dispelling Puzzles].

Immediately afterwards, Okura also raised his hand:

"In this case, I don't think it's appropriate to explore,"

"This setting is too shallow and does not conform to the strong and subtle psychological tone of PT,"

"It will make players feel that this horror road is too child's play, which will destroy the sense of thickness we have worked so hard to create,"

"I think this setting can also be passed."

Hearing this, all the supervisors also nodded in agreement.

Ever since, the setting of [Adventure] was also rejected.

In this way!

Gu Sheng shrugged: "Then we only have [investigation] left?"

Everyone thought about it and nodded.

However, Sato thought for a while:

"But in this way, does it conflict with our game settings? After all, we have already explained in the game that the villa murder case has been solved, and the murderer has lost his mind and was taken away by the police..."

"The investigation is not limited to the police," he said.

Before Sato's voice fell to the ground, Yuki finally calmed down and said:

"Can't the main character be a reporter? It's the kind of reporter who specializes in discovering obscure, weird, and bizarre news!"

"The reporter heard that there is such a murderous house in Silent Hill, because the case is too appalling and the murderer is already insane,"

"So with the idea of ​​digging deep into the inside story and restoring the real case, I came to Silent Hill to conduct investigations and visits,"

"This is the content of this trial version."

hiss--! ! !

Yuki's words!

Immediately, all the executives present gasped!

Wonderful!

In this way!

The behavioral logic of the PT protagonist can be explained!

Reasonable!

And Gu Sheng was shocked by Yuki's whim! ! !

Almost instantly!

The turbulent inspiration, like a surging wave, swept through his mind!

reporter!

yes!

A reporter who specializes in digging deep into obscure truths!

This reporter named [Miles Upshur (Miles Upshur)] has always been committed to exposing the most obscure and inaccessible news truth!

And today!

After receiving news clues from insiders, he learned of the appalling events that took place in Silent Hill!

So, with the most enthusiasm for his profession, he came to the haunted house of Silent Hill PT, experienced many reincarnations, and pieced together the truth of the matter with fragmented clues!

And when Miles, who was full of joy and experienced a night of nightmares, finally escaped from the other world, drove his little jeep and left Silent Hill!

In the thick fog, he will pass by James, who is in the other world, and run in the opposite direction.

As the protagonist of the feature film, James will go deep into the depths of Silent Hill to find the truth about the letter from his deceased wife.

And Miles will continue to embark on a journey to find the next truth, heading to Colorado——

Jushan Mental Hospital.

"It's all connected! It's all connected! It's all connected!"

For a moment, Gu Cheng only felt his scalp go numb.

The extreme excitement made him jump up from the chair, rushed to the dazed Yuki in the somatosensory cabin, and held up her clever head:

"Come on babe! U are sooooooooo—fvking clever!!! (Awesome shit! You are so fucking smart!!!)"

one stone two bird!

Gu Sheng was so excited!

Yuki's proposal not only gave the PT protagonist a reasonable identity setting!

It can even be used as an easter egg to lead to the plot of another horror masterpiece!

This is a huge Easter egg!

And another masterpiece will be independently developed by their Golden Wind!

In this way!

The reputation of "King of Horror Games" created by myself with Silent Hill will directly and positively affect the horror masterpiece they independently developed!

I don't know if other people's horror games are unpopular and they will lose money.

but I!

Gu Sheng!

The horror game that came out of my hands can't lose a bit! ! !

There has never been such a wonderful tandem!

For a moment, Gu Sheng only felt his heart agitated, and stretched out his hands!

"Come boys! Give me five!!!"

Seeing the director who was so excited, as if he had won the first prize in the lottery, everyone was dumbfounded!

ah?

What?

They had no way of knowing what was going on in Gu Sheng's mind.

They only knew that once the setting of "reporter" was brought up, the director seemed to go crazy.

If Yuki wasn't a girl, the director would have kissed her just now, but he was so excited.

However, although I don't know what the boss suddenly remembered.

But everyone was very cooperative and stretched out their hands one after another.

clap clap clap clap -

Like a star, Gu Sheng high-fived everyone.

In the end, he stretched out his hands and gave a big high five to Yuki, whose face was pink and cheeks were slightly flushed.

Good... good man...

Yuki sat in the somatosensory cabin, his mind a little stagnant.

The male hormonal charm that Gu Sheng erupted at that moment just now is like an unrivaled sharp spear, which is irresistible!

Hi! ! !

Yuki 'screamed' in his heart.

It's hard to imagine, living under the same roof with such a man, what kind of fairy life Miao Miao lives every day!

But I'm so hungry!

High fives down!

Gu Sheng also turned around and clapped his hands:

"Everyone, I am very happy with the cooperation during this period, and I am also grateful for your care,"

"And now, PT is about to participate in the exhibition, and our inspiration has once again sparked a blazing spark,"

"In order to present this horror game benchmark more perfectly,"

"I am here, please everyone, make PT more complete and make Silent Hill more amazing!"

Speaking of which.

Seeing Gu Sheng nodding his head slightly, his tone was sincere:

"Please everyone! (Japanese)"

And all the directors of the entire PT project team also stood up one after another, and bowed ninety degrees to Gu Sheng in unison!

"Hay——!!!"

...

Early November, Lidong, evening.

The dark navigator headlights are shining, driving on the road, weaving through the traffic.

The atmosphere in the car was lively.

"Hey, have you been to Akihabara? It is said that it is so exciting there!"

"How are the people over there? Do you let their main beauty draw ghosts every day?"

"Do they all call you sama?"

"Aren't they particularly curvy over there? Do you work overtime every day?"

"correct……"

Questions came one after another, making Gu Sheng who was sitting in the back row a little dumbfounded.

good!

Just when the Dongjin Video Game Festival is about to open!

Gu Sheng declined Moriya's persuasion, and decided to take advantage of the gap between the development of the trial version and the official version to return to China.

After all, as a horror game, Silent Hill is not the key recommended project of Comera this time, and he does not need to attend the first-day press conference as a director to speak on stage.

"I accept Mr. Moritani's wishes, but there are still people in the country that I am attached to. Besides, when "Silent Hill" is officially developed, I will lead the team back again, and we will have a good time with wine and talk."

Gu Sheng said so.

Having said all this, Moriya could only say goodbye reluctantly, and asked Gu Sheng to return to China temporarily, waiting for the formal signing of the cooperation contract between the two parties.

The ones who came to pick up the plane were naturally none other than Lu Bian and Brother Dajiang.

Along the way, the three brothers talked and laughed.

Lu Bian Dajiang talked about the big and small things in the company recently, and all projects are proceeding in an orderly manner.

And Gu Sheng talked about what he saw and heard in Neon, about the development process of Silent Hill PT, talked about the super eggs he buried, and the huge structure of Silent Hill itself!

good!

After all, it is my own family, my own brother.

Gu Sheng has never had any reservations about Lu Bian and Da Jiang.

And the same goes for the two.

All of a sudden, there was a small climax in the car!

"Fuck! This plan is so awesome! Wouldn't it be famous if it was made in this wave? It will directly become the overlord of horror games?"

After hearing Lao Gu's idea, Da Jiang was amazed repeatedly.

And Lu Bian reminded in amazement:

"By the way, Lao Gu, you didn't tell Comera about the project of the main body and the project of another work derived from the trial version, did you?"

"I'm not stupid,"

Gu Sheng smiled and said:

"Not only did I not disclose it to Comeila, but after we collectively preside over the project, this project can only be circulated in the hands of our own core management,"

"To put it simply, it is to treat the people of Komera as outsourcers,"

"Before the development of the game is completed, we must have full control over this project, lest they dump us after taking the complete project."

Who is Gu Sheng?

As a human being in two lives, these twists and turns in the game circle are clear to him.

Indeed!

The Silent Hill PT project developed in cooperation with Comera this time went very smoothly, and the cooperation with Sato, Okura, Yuki and others was also very harmonious.

But that was Comera after all, not Golden Wind.

That's Neon, not China.

Those are my partners, not my family and friends.

The place that should be kept, after all, must be kept.

talking!

The navigator also drove into the Binjiang Yaju community and entered the underground garage.

Woo.

The engine stalls.

The three get out of the car.

Da Jiang helped Gu Sheng remove the half-empty suitcase and pushed it to him.

"Let's go up and have dinner together."

Seeing that the two of them were not moving, Gu Sheng beckoned.

As for Lu Bian and Da Jiang, each of them lit a cigarette, looked at him with disgust, and even took two steps back.

"Don't send it, just fix this stupid brain, okay?"

Lu Bian curled his lips, completely seeing through:

"What are we going to do? Be a fucking 2,500-watt super big light bulb? Is your electricity bill enough?"

"Tut, hey,"

Gu Sheng blushed:

"What are you talking about! I mean it sincerely! You don't want to welcome me!"

"Tomorrow, we'll pick it up tomorrow,"

Da Jiang also suppressed a smile:

"It's inconvenient today, today... Brother Bian'er and his uncle are here today, so I can't drink cold beer."

Lu Bian:?

He gave Dajiang a look of 'You fucking threw me out', and nodded helplessly: "Ah, yes, yes, my uncle is here, I can't drink cold, we are leaving, we will talk about it tomorrow, tomorrow Let's talk again..."

After saying that, the two stopped chattering, hooked their shoulders together, waved at Gu Sheng with a cigarette between them, and withdrew.

"Why--"

Gu Cheng watched the two of them brush off their clothes, and opened their mouths with their handsome backs hiding their achievements and fame.

Rolled his eyes again.

Then, shaking his head with a smile, he dragged the suitcase into the corridor, followed the elevator to the door of the house.

Take a deep breath and step forward to press the fingerprint lock.

Didi—chuck——

The house door opens.

In the room, it was pitch black, and the lights were turned off.

No one seemed to be waiting for him to come home.
