Game Production: I've Really Landed

Chapter 272 You will only call me in the middle of the night when you are panicking
"Fuck, it's a new mechanism again. Does the old thief have endless things in his mind?"

"There are chasing soldiers behind me, and I have to find the key to open the door in the checkpoint. The sense of oppression is directly full."

"Turn up the intensity, increase the intensity fiercely, or I will be completely sorry for the help mode."

The design that made the players sigh so much made Er Xiao in front of the screen even more flustered.

That's right, in the thrilling chase with another Madeleine, the level introduced a mechanism that had never appeared before.

Key door.

There will be some circular key patterns scattered in some locations in the level. Only after all these keys are triggered, the door blocking the exit will be opened.

In the sealed space, on the one hand, you need to find clues to open the door, and on the other hand, you need to avoid the pursuers behind you.

This design more or less reminds players of a very famous horror game in the 2D era, Aoki.

Of course, to the big guys, Aoki was simply someone who got away.

It was just a square room, and there were no obstacles for Qing Gui to escape.

But this time, Erxiao was obviously in trouble.

The keys are scattered in the four corners of the large space, with a jelly block in the middle,

You need to use the special thrusting mechanism of this thing to reach the four corners and successfully access the key.

Among them, there are also spikes and other things waiting to prank you.

"Brothers, that's not right. I feel like it's too late for me to go to Four Corners and add the keys.

As soon as I added this, another Madeleine caught up from behind and died several times. "

Because of the overlapping routes, Erxiao thought hard after dying several times.

"No, didn't you realize that the other Madeleine's path is exactly the same as yours?
She pauses where you pause, and sprints where you sprint. "

There are still many players who understand clearly in the live broadcast room.

In the so-called chase battle, the other Madeleine completely replicates all the player's operations. In fact, it is impossible to catch up as long as you keep running.

The only difficulty is how to run in this place full of spikes and traps without dying.

"Damn, that's really the case."

Er Xiao tried it, and found that it was indeed the case, and immediately calmed down a lot.

But just when she was full of confidence and about to shout "This test is over", she touched the spike again and poured a basin of cold water on her head.

Putting aside the chase battle, the level design of Weilan itself is quite difficult, so you should just attack it honestly and calmly.

After Er Xiao passed several levels with ease.

The other Madeline was obviously irritated, and she immediately transformed into multiple clones, showing all her strength.

"Teaching ends! Actual combat begins!"

"You deserve multiple enjoyments."

"Good food! It's so cool to watch!"

The main impact of multiple clones on the game is actually not that big.

After all, no matter how many clones are created, they will all follow Madeline to eat the exhaust fumes.

The main limitation is that Madeleine can no longer continue to run crossing routes.

Because running a cross route means that you will definitely collide with the clone that is lagging behind.

How to stay in place for a suitable time when the madman behind you is chasing you until the last clone passes is the difficulty of the clone.

As for the old site of Chapter 2, the biggest challenge, for which no one was prepared, came suddenly.

The first compound long level in this game.

First there is an extra long jelly block leading to the left. After passing through it, you come to the lower level.

A very classic concave-shaped spike pit with only a virtual platform in the middle that disappears when stepped on.

Further down, there is a three-stage relay in the air.

Finally, there is the key door that needs to trigger four keys to open.

All the level designs throughout the whole process, in the previous mountain climbing journey, actually all appeared, and they are all very simple small levels.

What really makes this place difficult is compounding.

Composite means that there can be no mistakes in the whole process, and you need to pass every small level unscathed.

What Xiaoguan showed before is already very obvious, it’s not difficult to look at, but Er Xiao’s death is still rare?
Humans are not computer programs and there will always be mistakes.

There was a lapse in my thinking. I just didn't press the button in my hand. There was something wrong with the controller and it didn't respond...

All emergencies, as long as they occur once in the process of breaking through the level, it means failure.

When protruding from the jelly block, he hit the wall, sprinted to the upper left and fell into the thorn pit, and was caught up by the avatars behind him a little slower, and he let go of the wall and fell...

A dense collection of fancy ways to die.

Then, it’s time to start all over again.

The first level is repeated, the second level is repeated, and the third level is repeated.

What's more, with a little bit of luck, he finally managed to reach the end, but it fell short.

Erxiao looked at Madeleine who was resurrected at the birth point of this level and opened her mouth slightly:

"Damn, brothers, I feel a little like playing Dark Souls."

"Don't say it, really don't say it, use life trial and error, get more and more proficient, and finally pass the test.

I definitely feel that way. "

"The internal logic is to stimulate the players' own unwillingness to admit defeat. In fact, it is not difficult, but we are not skilled enough yet."

"If you pass by, you can always pass!"

Try, work hard, watch yourself get stronger little by little, and finally pass the level.

The core mechanism of Souls is to allow players to become stronger through practice, rather than just monotonous stacking of difficulties.

From the current point of view, Weilan does have this design idea.

Or maybe the entire platform jumping game is based on this design idea.

With the development of video games for so many years, there is no such thing as a single game developer.

Everyone is standing on the shoulders of countless predecessors, eliminating outdated things, leaving the essence, and adding a little bit of their own thinking about this industry by the way.

And the entire game industry has also been born with vitality.

With the analogy, the inner frustration will naturally decrease more and more.

When I played "XX", didn't I clear the level in the end?You can’t trouble me!

With such a fighting spirit, continue to be proficient and continue to improve.

From the very beginning, I often died at the first level, to the more I died, the further back I got, and then to the subsequent success in winning.

The entire live broadcast room was full of "OH~OH~OH~", which was the best reward.

"That's it? That's it? I haven't exerted my strength yet."

Er Xiaotian shamelessly blew nonsense into the live broadcast room.

"Note, this is only Chapter 2 of the game."

"How many strawberries passed by on the road, I don't know how many strawberries passed by, right? This is not a hidden part."

"Such a simple complex level makes you complacent? Don't you say that you died almost a hundred times, and you won't kneel down and cry for Dad when it's more difficult later?"

Er Xiao cleared his throat and decided to be a man with his tail between his legs.

After passing this composite level, another Madeleine also stopped arresting Madeleine.

All the way through an area without any organs, finally, an old telephone booth appeared in the sight of all players.

The phone rang suddenly, and Madeleine, who was passing by, hesitated for a while before picking up the phone:
"Hello?"

On the other end of the phone was a green-haired man with a mobile phone, his eyes hidden under his bangs:

"Madeleine? Did you call from a payphone?"

"Yes."

Madeleine froze for a moment,
"No, wait...you actually called me?" "What are you talking about?"

"It's okay, I'm in trouble, someone is chasing me."

The man's doubtful tone made Madeline's heart tense, but she still trusted this person whom she had not contacted for a long time as usual.

Start sharing some of your own bizarre experiences.

"I don't really know the situation, but I know I'm in danger, I can feel it."

The strange man did not comfort Madeleine, nor did he continue to follow her words:
"Madeleine, you only call me in the middle of the night when you're panicking.

You don't have to make up some stupid story to get my attention. "

As soon as the man opened his mouth, the player's goodwill was instantly destroyed.

"What do you mean making up some stupid stories? Just now I was kicked out like a dog!"

Erxiao was filled with indignation,

"This man is stupid."

"Damn it, I just took the blue pill and yanked this guy out of the phone and gave him two bang bangs."

"Madeleine, scold him severely!"

Madeleine obviously couldn't stand such slander:
"I'm not making it up! You're always like this!"

"Shh, that's it. Calm down, my baby, and tell me."

The man's sudden gentleness made everyone a little confused.

So what is the relationship between this man and Madeleine?It's really puzzling.

I am more and more curious about the plot of Azure.

"I was climbing Mount Celeste, and I found this ancient mirror, which was broken, but the other I escaped, and...

It's like I'm dreaming, isn't it? "

Madeleine sorted out the memories in her mind, trying to be as complete as possible.

But the more she talked, the paler she became inside. The things that came out of her mouth were really unbelievable.

"Madeline, of course you are dreaming."

The man gave an affirmative answer,

"I haven't spoken to you in months, why would I start talking to you now?"

"Ugh! Why did I come to climb this broken mountain!"

Madeline lost her temper.

The purple-haired Madeleine who suddenly appeared on top of Madeleine's head smiled sarcastically:
"I'm confused about this as well and it's time to give up and go home."

The phone booth was turbulent for a while, and finally turned into a terrifying monster with many eyes.

It gnawed Madeleine into ashes in one bite!

The scene changed, and Madeline, who woke up again at the stone monument, looked around.

There are no stars falling from the sky, the flames are not a weird green, and there is quiet and peaceful music echoing in the background.

So... was everything that just happened just a dream?

Including another Madeleine, including the phone call with that person?

Madeleine didn't know.

The live broadcast room seemed a bit deserted at this time.

Everyone is thinking about what this plot actually represents.

"If you think too much, you can't figure it out, so let's keep pushing the pictures."

Erxiao said, continuing to the right.

The magnificent and mysterious scenery in the dream has disappeared without a trace, but on the top of this old site, I saw an acquaintance.

Theo, the mysterious explorer that Madeleine met in the midst of the abandoned city.

“Hey Madeleine you did it, it was a tough climb up here but it was so worth it.

Look at these relics, I took a lot of nice photos, do you want to see them? "

Theo was still so gentle, which instantly made the player who was unhappy with a certain green-haired man feel much better.

"Oh, of course."

Madeleine smiled and ran to Theo's side, looked at the photos on his phone, and sighed:

"Theo, these are great."

"Maybe I'll eventually get a thousand followers through these photos."

Theo thought optimistically, then looked at Madeline,
"Oh, we need to officially commemorate this scene, take a selfie with me!"

"Ah, I don't know if that's a good idea now."

Madeline hesitated.

"Come on, it's simple, like this."

Theo picked up his phone and quickly pressed the shutter button. Soon, a photo of the two of them appeared on the screen.

Theo looked optimistic and cheerful, while Madeleine looked a little timid.

Madeleine apologizes to Theo for her stinky face and says she won't put it on her social media.

Madeleine shook her head and said she just felt a little unphotogenic.

Theo comforted her by saying:

"Madeleine, don't be so harsh on yourself, no one looks good without a filter."

The two chatted, and talked about their ideals.

Madeleine still wants to climb the mountain. Theo said that although he has no such plan, he has no plan to return yet.

Finally, Madeleine bid farewell to Theo again and moved on. She once again encountered the phone booth she saw in her dream.

But this time, Madeleine took the initiative to pick up the phone and dialed.

Just when the players thought they were about to see a certain green-haired face.

What appeared on the screen at this moment was instead a middle-aged woman with blue hair and a blush on her face that was exactly the same as Madeleine's.

"Hello."

"Hi, Mom."

"Madeline! What a surprise! How was your trip?"

Mom raised the corners of her mouth and looked extremely happy.

"It's okay, I'm just a little overwhelmed."

Madeleine spoke frankly.

"Oh no, you were scared again?

Honey come and take a deep breath, mom is here.

Tell me what's going on? "

The chapter ends with a CG of Madeleine answering the phone.

But players are clearly brooding over "being scared again".

Earlier in the dream, the man also said that Madeleine would only call him in the middle of the night when she was panicking.

What happened to Madeleine?
The game once again came to the chapter selection interface. After watching him die more than 300 times, Er Xiao's heart showed no fluctuation, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

Chapter 2 is obviously much more difficult than Chapter 1. I only died more than 100 times, which is gratifying.

Still, her face fell when she saw the strawberries.

Eighteen strawberries.She just took 3, it's hard...
