Chapter 5 The Essence of Horror Games
All fear comes from the unknown.
This is a saying learned in the training academy, and it is also one of the principles of making horror games.
Horror games are game genres that maximize the element of the unknown, and are also a subject that Fang Cheng challenges.
The college's dormitory had been withdrawn, so Fang Cheng called an online taxi and returned to the apartment he had rented again while constantly reminding the other person to "watch the road and don't look at me."
Apartment rents are cheap, far from the city center, and basically in the suburbs.
However, Fangcheng can teleport at any time and can come and go as he pleases. Occasionally, he only takes a car to experience life, so distance is not a problem.
The apartment he rented was not big, and there were not many furnishings. There was only a bed, a computer, and nothing else.
As an immortal who is devoted to the Tao, Fang Cheng has almost no foreign objects in his room, nor any equipment for enjoyment.
But today, he was ready to enjoy it.
Carrying the happy water he bought and the high-calorie fried chicken he bought online, he turned on the computer and downloaded all the top-ranked horror movies from the well-known movie platform, and then opened sixty-four windows, each movie using Watch at 10x speed and watch all the top 300 movies in one hour.
After reading it, he silently turned off the screen and ate crispy fried chicken with a question in his mind.
Where is the horror in these movies?
"Midnight Chest Bell", if the protagonist knows how to use palm thunder, then when the opponent comes out, a palm thunder can kill the opponent.
In "Dawn of the Dead", if the protagonist knows how to use palm thunder, then when dawn appears, one palm thunder will be enough.
In "Predator", if the protagonist knows how to use palm thunder, then the moment the Predator appears, one palm thunder is enough.
Other movies like "Vampire Legend", "Black Monday", "Texas Braised Chicken Massacre", etc., almost every movie can use a palm thunder to solve all problems, so Fang Cheng can't understand why some people think these movies are scary. .
Unable to get inspiration from movies for the time being, Fang Cheng simply turned on his computer and started playing horror games based on the rating recommendations.
After spending an hour to clear a game related to music box, black fog, and Cthulhu, he subconsciously wanted to say "a palm thunder can solve everything", and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and a keyword came to mind.
Nothing can be done.
In high-rated horror games, the protagonist must be powerless.
They need to face terrifying monsters, huge monsters, and elusive demons, and all they can do is escape.
If the props needed to escape are placed on the monster, then this fear will be even more intense, because the player must face his own demons and then defeat them.
If you think about it this way, it seems to be a little bit fun.
So, Fang Cheng closed his eyes, and the next second, his whole person appeared on another planet.
As soon as he appeared in space, he felt a tentacle grabbing at him.
Squeezing the tentacle that could penetrate heaven and earth, he saw that the entire planet had been devoured by gray monsters.
This monster is huge and boundless, and its gray skin is covered with mucus. The mucus is filled with various rocks and trees, and is constantly being swallowed by the monster.
Maintaining his posture, Fang Cheng did not make a move, but looked at the monster, nodded and said: "It's so ugly, so scary."
The aura on Fang Cheng's body affected this terrifying cosmic monster, and this feeling made him both scared and hungry. thirsty.
Instinct told it that this was an existence that it could not reach anyway, but its strong appetite prompted it to rush towards Fangcheng with its tentacles.
But Fang Cheng just pushed out of the air and shot out a palm thunder. The invisible thunder directly penetrated the monster's body, shattering its core and causing the monster that had assimilated with the planet to die suddenly on the spot. But immediately, he swung out another spell, resurrecting the monster that had died suddenly.
A life of death completely defeated the monster's will, causing it to tremble and stretch out its tentacles to express its surrender to Fang Cheng.
"Very good. Eat slowly, and keep this position without moving. Then I will let some little guys come over, and you just keep attacking them. By the way, if any little guys touch the mark on your tentacles, then Just let them leave."
The monster in front of him looks very scary and has a strong desire to attack. The player is extremely small in front of it and cannot escape no matter what.
The only way to clear the level is to touch the switch at the tip of its tentacles, which is a very desperate thing to think about.
Although this kind of thing is very simple for me as an immortal, for those players who have no power to restrain the chicken, it should be a very scary thing.
He has already thought of the name of the game, which is "Born to Death".
The huge swallowing star-level monster has millions of tentacles and can accommodate millions of players at the same time. You can verify your ideas through the performance of the players, thus making your Taoist heart stronger.
The spirit gathering array is prepared, the player's body is shaped, and body functions are adjusted. Everything is ready!
Now, he can't wait to see the players scream in fear of him.
Satisfied that everything was encapsulated in magic, Fang Cheng finished packaging the game and then began to choose a platform.
In the last Rookie Cup, in addition to the honor, there was also a reward of 10,000 yuan.
Although the immortal is not short of money, he still wants to make money in a secular way, so that he can better understand the feelings of the world and make it easier for him to play games.
Using the money to buy a small promotional advertisement, he put "Born to Death" on the world's largest steam platform, still free, and then returned to the planet where Galactus lives.
Next, it’s time to wait for the players’ performance.
At this moment, Lao Wang said that the game could no longer survive.
Playing "The Second Son of the Forest" for seven consecutive days brought about earth-shaking changes in his base, and also made him extremely mentally exhausted.
I’ve been busy complaining about new games, promoting new games, reviewing old games, talking about games, and selling merchandise.
All the time he spent in the forest was used to cut trees, synthesize them, then build a base, and prepare to launch a new attack on the guards of the ruins.
Last time, the combined efforts of three hundred players finally broke through the first layer of protection of the ruins guard, causing the opponent's shield to run out and fall to the ground.
Unexpectedly, that little cutie can actually transform into a second stage.
After the transformation, the ruins guard became even more powerful, instantly killing all the players, causing them to yell at the game planner for not being human while continuing to roll trees and build equipment with great interest.
Lao Wang said that he also wanted to continue the game, but someone in the live broadcast room couldn't help but said: "Lao Wang, let yourself go."
"Don't worry, go to bed. The earlier you go to bed, the longer you will live; The longer you sleep, the longer your liver will last; so the earlier you go to bed, the longer your liver will last."
"The logic is clear and convincing."
Lao Wang yawned and was about to follow his example when he saw an advertisement floating on the steam platform.
"For your attention, the author of "The Second Son of the Forest" has launched a new game "Born to Death", which is currently on sale..." "..."
"
I don't want this life anymore!"
