Chapter 187 The Game of Despair (Update 1)
After confirming the electronic version, Fang Cheng asked the other party about the price of the adaptation of the novel game copyright.
Tang Mo didn't think about how much his previous dark history could be sold for, so he just asked Fang Cheng to give it a try.
But when he found out that it meant five million, he felt that Fang Cheng had misunderstood what he meant.
Looking at the short interest reminder from the bank, he struggled for a long time, and then said to Fang Cheng: "Boss Fang, why don't I handwrite this book again before giving it to you. I feel guilty about your generosity." "It does
n't matter, it's okay . You deserve it."
The opportunity to become enlightened is hard to buy, and Fang Cheng doesn't think there's a problem with spending money like that.
And although some time ago, the funds on the studio's books were invested in Qilin Industries downstairs, after several games, the various revenue sharings actually amounted to more than one billion, which made Fang Cheng feel that Xu Qingling's koi attributes were not Generally speaking, you can earn as much as you spend.
Copying the electronic version of the novel to a USB flash drive, Fang Cheng took the copy into the void, pinched the USB flash drive, and opened it again to see a small teleportation array shining in his hand.
Expanding the teleportation array, Fang Cheng walked into it and could see a world in it that was constantly rotating. It was a world that was evolved based on the content in the novel and combined with various magical powers.
The framework of the world evolved according to Tang Mo's novel, but the content was combined with the inspiration he had previously obtained from "The World is No. 1" and the Tiandao Network, and finally combined to create a world that was transformed by his own magic power.
Although he had read the novel in advance, Fang Cheng discovered a problem after actually seeing the world after the deduction.
The words written by Tang Mo are somewhat similar to reality.
The other party's novel is about a fictional ancient world, but the whole world was polluted by inexplicable poisons, and thousands of gods and Buddhas had to flee and disappeared without a trace.
The protagonist is a young practitioner who originally wanted to escape with his master, but he was reluctant to leave his parents and ultimately chose to stay and protect the people here.
The master knew that he had made up his mind, so he left some magic weapons and a token, and agreed to contact him after he arrived in another world. If he is still alive by then, take him back to the master and protect the remaining mortals together.
The story content in the early stages of the novel is light and humorous. Although monsters contaminated by poison occasionally descend, the overall story is quite enjoyable.
The protagonist is even more of a genius. He can master the skills and magic weapons left by his master when he reaches the realm. He also has some friends who are in the same profession, and together he destroys monsters contaminated by poison every day, and his life can still go on.
Although the people under shelter had no qualifications, they never complained. Instead, they built new words for the protagonist and worshiped them day and night, so that the protagonist could gain faith and resist foreign enemies.
However, how happy it is in the early stage, how miserable it will be in the later stage.
All the people close to him sacrificed to heaven one by one, but none of the people he wanted to protect were protected. At the end of the first volume, everyone around them died. Only his old yellow dog survived, and he also had great spiritual consciousness. damage.
In the second volume of the novel, the protagonist had to go to a place where his fellow Taoists lived for training, and their fellow Taoists kindly took him in. After he almost recovered, he helped the passage to eliminate nearby monsters and kill the demons that attacked the town. However, it was not until the end that he discovered that he was already unconscious and could not distinguish between good and bad. His so-called comrades had degenerated into demons, and he had done it. All bad.
The third volume is even worse. When the protagonist is discouraged and wants to find a place to live but is dying, he unexpectedly receives a message from the sect. With the people around them, they arrived at their destination with difficulty and found that the sect had been contaminated long after they left. This was just a trap.
In the fourth volume, the protagonist discovers that he is no longer a human being, and his body has been completely corroded by poison. He is just a personality simulated by the poison.
The fifth volume is even more miserable, and the sixth volume is the peak of despair.
Comparing the last volume, Fang Cheng actually felt that the previous protagonist was actually quite happy.
In other words, at the end of each volume, the protagonist has been relatively happy recently.
After reading the entire plot, Fang Cheng discovered that Tang Mo would have to go to jail for writing this.
The ending of the protagonist is not finished, but Fang Cheng feels that it is good that it is not finished. God knows what trials there will be later.
Death is a reward for him.
Looking at the roughly completed world, Fang Cheng felt that the world was hopeless and terrifying. The protagonist was already very powerful in the end, but he became the culprit of various tragedies.
But looking back on the past, I found that it was no surprise that he had fallen to this point.
He has done his best every step of the way, he has tried his best, but there is a great terror between heaven and earth. The boundless terror destroyed everything about him and made him inevitably move towards tragedy.
After the deduction, Fang Cheng found that according to the tone of the novel, the whole story had no way to survive.
The advent of poison is unavoidable, the world will continue to suffer erosion, and death is an inevitable result. All the actions of the protagonist and others are ultimately like bubbles rising in the storm, which will burst later.
This story overlapped slightly with what happened a thousand years ago, which made Fang Cheng wonder if Tang Mo had subconsciously remembered something.
After all, people have past lives and present lives. Some masters have cut off the history of their existence, but it is possible to leave out one or two and let them retain some memories.
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng felt that he needed to check this.
After sorting out and integrating everything that existed, he returned to the studio after May Day, and then handed the USB flash drive that he had sorted with magic to Huang Ping and others.
"I made a framework over the weekend, Huang Ping, please perfect it according to your own ideas."
Then, he looked at Lin Nan and said, "This game will involve some small gameplay, you are responsible for designing it." "
Okay. ."
Lin Nan nodded immediately, and then asked cautiously: "What are the design principles?"
"Just make this game a little easier and don't be too desperate."
"...Huh?"
After hearing this request, Lin Nan thought No explanation.
What kind of game is so desperate that it needs to use mini-games to adjust?
Finally, he thought of something and said to everyone: "I forgot to mention that the genre of this game is horror, so we will not sell it domestically, but will choose a foreign platform for sale. At that time, Teacher Shen will hire a The person in charge of the foreign publisher will come over to coordinate. When you are almost done, you can contact the other party."
Huang Ping also became excited knowing that this time the game was going to be targeted at foreign markets.
The games of Fangcheng Studio are very popular in China, but because Fangcheng is not very interested in foreign markets, there have been no relevant arrangements.
After all, domestic games are still weak. Being able to appear and show one's strength in the international market is the dream of every gamer who is determined to make a domestic masterpiece.
Huang Ping became excited when he thought that he could stand on the international stage and showcase his talents!
Huang Ping downloaded and ran the game given by Fang Cheng with great expectations. Huang Ping was in a relatively relaxed state at the beginning.
The name this time was pretty good. The name "Tian Mo" has the feel of a horror game, and it's easy to translate into English.
But as for the content...
it seems that the boss got the topic wrong again.
Although it is a horror game, Fang Cheng seems to have violated all the key points of horror games. The focus of recent horror games is not to have weapons, so as to highlight the player's sense of powerlessness as much as possible, but "Tianma" gives the protagonist strong strength from the beginning, making the game more like a refreshing game.
It feels good when using the PC. Running on the ground feels quite good at first, but once you learn to ride the wind and wield a sword, the game's temperament immediately picks up.
As soon as the sword pill was wrapped, the sword light traveled, and the sense of speed and excitement brought by breaking through the air made Huang Ping unable to stop, and he became more and more sure that this was a fun game.
When the demon appeared, he was frightened for a moment, but when he saw that he could easily cut the opponent into pieces, Huang Ping thought in his heart: "Sure enough."
This game is indeed a fun game.
"Monkey, this game is quite..."
Facing the monkey on the side, he wanted to say that this game is quite enjoyable, but when he turned around, he saw the monkey nervously looking at the screen and operating continuously.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Huang Ping asked doubtfully.
"No, you damn meow can't do that!" the monkey couldn't help but muttered.
"So what's going on?" Huang Ping became even more confused, "Xiaodouzi?"
Xiaodouzi, who usually acted like a clay Buddha and remained silent when playing games, now his eyes widened, and the words in his mouth were exactly the same as those of a monkey: "No. Yes, you fucking can't!"
"What's the profound meaning of this sentence?"
Knowing that his colleague played the game better than him, and his progress should be deeper than his own, Huang Ping had no choice but to turn around in confusion and continue playing. .
Soon, he suffered the first wave of back stabs.
I thought it was a happy time to go home, but I didn't expect to see corpses everywhere when I returned.
Under the bright sky, there was the tragic scene of the village being attacked. Every villager who had a good interpersonal relationship with him was simply torn to pieces at this time, which made Huang Ping's back feel cold, and the despair and fear in his heart came in waves.
Especially when he saw the terrifying monster standing in the face of his childhood sweetheart, he suddenly realized that this monster was actually his childhood sweetheart.
But what's wrong with Qingmei?
She was just contaminated by poison and turned into a monster involuntarily.
What's even more tragic is that he doesn't even have the power to take revenge.
The monster in front of him was not of the same magnitude as before. He was just as happy when the monster beat him as he was when the monster beat him.
In a daze, he felt that it was no longer the protagonist who was being beaten, but him himself. Every punch brought extremely real damage to him, leaving him unable to resist.
After being defeated by the monster, the game did not end, but because they were childhood sweethearts, the monster finally controlled himself and fled, leaving only Huang Ping, who was covered in wounds and was lying on the ground helplessly.
"Monkey..." Huang Ping couldn't help but ask.
"I tried, and I can beat him." Monkey stared at the screen without looking back. Just by listening to the voice, he knew what Huang Ping wanted to ask, "But it didn't work. The route will be different after that, but the dead are dead."
Due to different operations, the plot branched here. After recovering, Huang Ping's protagonist embarked on the path of chasing Qingmei, while Monkey's protagonist embarked on a journey of self-improvement in order to eliminate more monsters.
The multi-branch setting brings various possibilities to the game, and Huang Ping feels that there should be a way to save everything.
Therefore, while they read the documentation and improve the game, they hope to avoid various tragic endings through game mechanics.
But then I discovered that this game is simply the embodiment of malice.
It is particularly good at playing with people's hearts. Whenever Huang Ping feels that there will be a little improvement, a greater tragedy will come oncoming, making Huang Ping fall into greater despair.
But compared to Monkey and Xiaodouzi, he felt that he was doing fine.
This game is absolutely unique in making people feel psychological. The stronger you are, the more tragedies you will encounter. On the contrary, if you are weak, you can recover and survive some incidents, and the mental blow you suffer will not be so strong.
After playing for a third of the time, Huang Ping said he couldn't stand it anymore.
At this moment, he felt that domestic players should build a shrine to Fang Cheng to express gratitude that this thing was not sold directly in China, but instead harmed foreign players.
I believe that after they play this game, they will definitely understand what a sadistic masterpiece is and what the annual healing game is.
Especially when he found out that the script was actually written by Tang Mo, Huang Ping decided to send Tang Mo a razor blade once he had the opportunity to thank him for writing such a good script.
After playing it for a while, Lin Nan also understood why Fang Cheng emphasized that the gameplay of mini-games should be as relaxed as possible and ease the players' emotions.
Just looking at the darkness of this plot, it really can't be relieved by a little relaxing game.
However, she also understood that these little games were just drinking poison to quench thirst.
After drinking the sweet honey, you still have to experience the desperate plot and the malice from all over the world.
Honey is just a line of defense to alleviate the horror of the world. Comparing the two, the horror of the game will be even more profound.
Forgive me, unknown foreign players.
Apologizing to the foreign players in his heart, Lin Nan continued to make mini-games, and then had to lament that his mini-games were so fun, the content was so relaxing, and the dialogue in the mini-games was so interesting, but the result seemed to make the main plot even worse.
Before you know it, the follow-up improvement work of the game is nearing completion.
After experiencing the initial despair, Huang Ping is now somewhat immune to horror games.
The shocking games no longer scare him, and he can even see the humor in most horror comics. After experiencing true despair, he no longer cares.
The game is almost complete, and the values in all aspects have been balanced, but Huang Ping has a question that has never been answered.
What are the easter eggs in this game?
Fang Cheng Studio's games have always been known for hiding Easter eggs, but he couldn't find it this time, and Fang Cheng didn't mention it. It was probably a big Easter egg that could subvert the content of the game.
Compared with before, Huang Ping especially hopes that the easter eggs will appear soon this time, otherwise the protagonist will be really miserable.
But the hunt for Easter eggs will soon stop, because the Prussian publisher introduced by Teacher Shen finally arrived.
Weiwei was a little stuck, and after struggling for a long time, she decided to play this game.
It's even later, I'm really sorry.
