Chapter 186 The Regret of Uncompleted (Second Update)
Returning to his home, Fang Cheng began to think about what game to play next.
With a tap on his temple, the memory of the haunted house was pulled out of his mind, like a huge three-dimensional hologram, quietly suspended in mid-air.
Then he pinched the memory and flicked it, and the memory was dragged out into multiple copies. In each copy, there was one of himself and one of Xu Qingling, cooperating with each other to explore the entire haunted house.
After a while, he understood the plot structure of the haunted house, and even the parts that he had not played at the time were figured out.
The entire haunted house was produced according to a large-scale script. A creative team composed of more than a dozen people continued to explore and perform, and finally constructed this huge script with a capacity of 1.4 million words.
It will feel scary when you play it for the first time, but the entire script includes multiple narratives, copy branch selection, different key props, etc., so you will have a new experience every time you play.
And after that, you will realize the charm of the script, and you can't help but feel that they put a lot of effort into the script.
Although he could not feel the terror from the ghosts in the haunted house, after carefully savoring the story, Fang Cheng still found something that moved him in the script.
That's another level of powerlessness.
Different from the protagonist in a traditional horror haunted house, the role he plays today can be regarded as a best among men to a certain extent. After obtaining some props, he can even chase away monsters and monsters.
But the subtlety of the plot lies here.
Although these protagonists have special powers and can even kill ghosts in some cases, a fateful curse has existed from the beginning. The stronger they become, the more they will hurt the people they love, eventually leading to irreparable consequences. Tragedy occurs.
They are far more powerful than ordinary people, but this power cannot help them escape. Instead, it makes them sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire, eventually leading to complete despair.
Restraining his impulse to use his palm thunder, Fang Cheng looked at the entire script with a slightly stronger attitude, and then discovered that this person's powerlessness could easily cause emotional fluctuations.
Especially since I already have good strength, but I can only achieve bad endings one after another. Even if such a horror game does not have a scary plot such as face jumping, it still makes people feel despair and terror.
So, how about making a game with no happy ending at all, just despair?
After searching on the computer, Fang Cheng found that there seemed to be quite a few such horror games.
"The Witch's House" is one of the masterpieces. The identity of the protagonist is very special, and no matter which ending means some kind of despair.
In the "Silent Hill" series, except for some obviously funny endings, most of the series almost never have good endings.
It is also used a lot in movies. The movie "The Fog" is a typical psychological movie. The ending that makes people sigh is definitely a kind of torture.
After watching the relevant movies and playing the relevant games, Fang Cheng felt that he could understand the relevant content, but now he encountered a problem.
He was not sure whether he should release such a mind-exploding game.
Although players are always backstabbing him, then jumping out of his preset gameplay, coming up with all kinds of weird ideas, and changing the game environment beyond recognition.
They can always start to show their power from some small things, and then connect everyone to create a series of shocking events, each of which is enough to become their own enemy.
The problem is, sometimes they are okay.
He has even used players to do him a few small favors, so it doesn't seem like a good idea to torture them with a game that makes people think.
Immortals don't like to get too entangled with cause and effect, but they are already somewhat involved with them.
After thinking about it, he still called Teacher Shen and prepared to ask Teacher Shen for his opinion.
Before answering Fang Cheng's call, Teacher Shen was thinking about whether to get a haircut.
His hair volume has returned to the level it was six years ago, and his hairline, which was losing ground, finally held its ground and began to fight back.
His current hair volume is luxurious enough to allow him to get a haircut, but he is not sure whether his hair volume will always be this large. He can only look at the hairstyles in magazines and constantly struggle with it.
After receiving Fang Cheng's call, Teacher Shen finally stopped worrying for the time being and began to listen to the questions of his proud student.
When he heard Fang Cheng say that he wanted to make a horror game, Teacher Shen interrupted Fang Cheng directly: "Don't do it." "
Why?"
"Although the domestic environment is liberalized, horror games are still a bit ambiguous. You also You know, there is no rating system in China, and all games must be playable by everyone. This actually sets a bottom line, that is, your game should meet the needs of everyone." "
This is impossible." Fang Cheng was confused. asked.
"Indeed, the game cannot meet everyone's needs, so the review agency has a relatively loose measurement standard. This standard is not made public, but according to our inference, this internal review is related to the possibility of complaints about the game."
New term Fang Cheng was stunned for a moment.
He thought about it carefully, but in the end he couldn't find the relevant memory.
As for Fang Cheng's silence, Teacher Shen knew what was going on.
"The possibility of being complained about is established by the review agency itself. It is called different in different places. It is used to measure the number of complaints that a certain subject matter or certain elements may receive. When a game has received too many complaints time, then it will be blocked. Of course, the weight of complaints from people with different statuses is also different, and this will also be counted."
Thinking of "Spreading Traditional Culture Starts with Me", Fang Cheng probably understood.
"That's it."
Teacher Shen nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you can understand. Among them, horror games are almost impossible to play because they will definitely be complained about, and there are many times. What's more, if you come here If you do it, I'm afraid you will be complained to heaven."
"Yes, I understand."
"But if you want to do it, there is no way, that is to sell it abroad, and then use scientific Internet methods to let domestic players play. Basically You can avoid a lot of trouble. I can help with the relevant qualification certification and procedures, so you can rest assured."
This choice made Fang Cheng feel feasible.
He has nothing to do with foreign players, and his base is in China. In the end, domestic players are needed for his enlightenment.
So, for some games that I feel are a bit deceptive, just use foreign players to verify their reactions, and then adjust them for domestic release.
Therefore, he said to Teacher Shen on the other side of the phone: "Thank you, Teacher Shen."
"You're welcome." After hanging up the phone, Teacher Shen felt in a good mood.
My students are making rapid progress, but it seems that I, an old antique, have not been forgotten. It feels good to be needed.
Just looking in the mirror, he remembered what he was struggling with, and then realized that he should have ordered tea just now.
Just when he was feeling regretful, a text message from Fang Cheng arrived: [Teacher Shen, I got a batch of tea and will deliver it to you later. 】
Seeing this text message, Teacher Shen couldn't help but sigh: What a good person.
With no worries, he could finally decide to get a haircut and enjoy the feeling of walking into the barber shop with his head held high.
Fang Cheng was also very happy with Teacher Shen's assistance.
The channels have been solved, and there are no worries in all aspects. After that, it is time to use Manzi as a guinea pig and test his own ideas.
But the next problem is that he needs a good script.
He had no problem with asking him to write a few classical Chinese essays. After all, he had been selected as a scholar before, but later he felt unimpressed and didn't continue, but there was no problem in this regard.
But what he wants is a more exciting script, which requires more professional understanding.
Continuing to search for information, he found that the haunted house had its own prototype, which was a novel with tens of thousands of words.
The creative team of Haunted House highly praised this novel and said that the other party's horror novel was the best they had ever read. They were deeply honored to be able to adapt this teacher's novel this time.
Following the recommendation of the creative team, Fang Cheng found the original novel. After purchasing the electronic version and reading it, he found that what the creative team said was true.
The writing style of the original novel is still very immature, but the logic is already very rigorous. This tragic sense of "powerlessness" is vividly reflected in the other party's novel. After reading it, let Fang Cheng deduce it for himself, and he will find that based on the ability of the protagonist of the novel, , the ultimate tragedy was determined almost from the beginning.
However, this book is not his peak.
Another series of books is the culmination of this unique horror atmosphere. However, this series of books has been printed in very small quantities and there are no relevant resources online, which makes Fang Cheng feel a bit regretful.
But after seeing the opponent's name, Fang Cheng felt that there was still some chance.
The person who wrote this set of books was none other than one of his enemies, Tang Mo.
He still remembers what the other party did in "The Nameless One", a historical simulation game about delivering letters and suffering, which was made into a time travel novel by the other party. This incident is still fresh in his mind.
Tang Mo himself is a well-known historical online writer, but he did not expect that the other party had actually written such a book before and published it.
After thinking about it, Fang Cheng found the other party's pass ID and left a message for him.
On the other side, Tang Mo was still immersed in "The Best in the World", reading and drinking with the best storyteller in the world, and living a happy life.
He realized that it was getting late and he had not completed today's update, so he could only reluctantly say goodbye to the world's best storyteller, and then left here and returned to the pass world.
He wanted to quit here, but he saw his little Mu Kui coming over holding a letter, and the identity of the writer surprised him.
"Fang Cheng... strange, why did the producer write to me?"
After reading the letter in confusion, Tang Mo became even more confused.
The other party actually wanted to buy the adaptation rights.
Before writing online articles, he had written physical books and indeed a series of books.
When he was writing the manuscript, the publishing house got crazy and asked him to write a particularly desperate series.
Originally, he didn't want to deal with such unreasonable demands.
But they gave too much.
Two thousand yuan for one thousand words, plus the share fee. As long as the content is dark, scary, and desperate enough, he can write as much as the publisher wants.
There was no other way, Tang Mo could only write.
He first wrote a novella to test the waters, which was well received. This novella was later adapted into a haunted house, which is the version that Fang Cheng played.
In order to make money, he simply wrote a long novel, and the content of the book became more and more desperate, and he made more and more money.
But after a while, he felt tired.
The words he wrote for money seemed awkward, especially because the emotions contained in the words were not what he wanted, which made writing a manuscript a kind of torture.
However, just when he was about to change his style and make everything have a happy ending through the ending, the publisher suddenly said that the contract was terminated and we could no longer continue.
The previous few books were hastily published and disappeared, and my final ending only had a framework. I thought that this set of books would become my dark history and disappear together, but I didn't expect that Fang Cheng would actually find it.
The fate is indeed wonderful.
As one of the people who knows Fangcheng best, Tang Mo likes "The Nameless One" very much, and believes that his way of playing as a time traveler is one of the correct problem-solving ideas in the game.
Now, after receiving Fang Cheng's email, he felt that he and Fang Cheng were indeed spiritual friends, and even his old books were favored by the other party.
So, he quickly replied: "Okay, the publisher did not sign an adaptation right with me, so the adaptation right is still in my hands. I will send you the full version later." After
finding the previous electronic version, Tang Mo looked at the electronic version The version began to ponder.
After hesitating for a moment, he put the framework he had previously conceived into it and sent it to Fang Cheng together.
As for why he did this, he didn't know.
Maybe, he also wants his heart friend to help him complete the regrets that he has not been able to complete.
