Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

The message posted on the official blogs of Chen Xu and Nebula Games is very simple.

It's a character concept original drawing.

It's just that the character in this concept map is not an ordinary human but a dragon.

It has four legs and two wings, and its head has huge white horns extending to both sides. The huge wings on the back cover his shoulders, and the dark black and dark purple scales make this dragon look violent.

The whole shape is very domineering and full of oppression.

Beneath this image, Chen Xu also posted a text describing the creature.

'Destroyer Dragon: A large ancient dragon species monster with numerous black sharp spikes growing from its body and very strong and strong double horns, characterized by an extremely strong desire to attack and a ferocious and violent character, an ancient dragon species with overwhelming power . ’

'In addition, the dragon has a super strong regeneration ability, so in order to continue to maintain the regeneration ability, the dragon needs a lot of energy. For this reason, the dragon pursues to prey on monsters that contain high-purity energy, but in fact, all living things are It is the prey object of the extinct dragon. And according to this situation, there are rumors such as [the ancient dragon that destroys everything], so it is also called the [destroying dragon]'

Under the official blog, many players were stunned.

Because in general, shouldn't the publicity of a game be aimed at the protagonist in the game?

How is this a train?

Could it be that in the new work, the player will play the existence of the dragon called Destruction Dragon?

If you look at the introduction of this annihilating dragon, is this game controlling this monster called annihilating dragon, hunting all kinds of creatures everywhere?

Big fish eat small fish?

what's the situation?

Looking at this official blog released by Chen Xu, many players are stunned by a little mistake.

"What's the situation? What exactly is Chen Xu's new game? Here's an original concept image, I can't guess it at all!"

"Look at it, I'll tell you! President Chen is more and more fooling people now! It turned out that there was a promotional trailer to watch when participating in the gameplay exhibition, and now we have sent us a concept original drawing!"

"It's time to move out that emoji again!"

"Brother upstairs, Mr. Chen has too many emojis, are you talking about this one (Warm Hearts, Warriors of Love. (I'm doing it, it's about to be released.jpg)."

"23333333, Mr. Chen's stalk is too much!"

"I suspect that President Chen is fooling us again as before, but in fact, the folder has not even been created!"

"By the way, I have a bold but not necessarily correct guess. Is it possible that the new work is a soul series? Tell the story before the fire spread. After all, Gwen and the Witch defeated Gu Long, but they didn't know how to defeat them at all. Jinlong is likely to be one of the ancient dragons, and in the new work, we will manipulate the ancient dragons to fight against Gwen, Nite, and the Witch at their peak."

"Brother, your guess is too bold, and it must be wrong! Didn't you pay attention? This dragon is completely different from the style of the Black Soul series! The art style of the Black Soul is biased towards the European and American magical and realistic style, but this one Jinlong is obviously a fantasy and realistic style with oriental characteristics, so it is definitely not a pull of the Dark Souls series!"

With the release of Chen Xu's official blog, many players are making various guesses.

But soon Chen Xu released the second original concept map.

The content is very simple, it is the same as the Dragon Extermination, but this time, there is an extra human in the same scene.

That is a hunter with a sword that is longer than a human, wearing armor and facing off against the dragon.

At the same time, on this original concept map, players finally understood the name of its new game "Monster Hunter: World".

With the release of the second original concept map, it obviously brings more content and allows more players to participate in the discussion.

"Monster Hunter? What the **** is this hunting game!?"

"Wait! Hunting game? It means that this guy called the Dragon Exterminator is the one we will hunt in the game!?"

"It's not really a soul game, is it?"

"I'm in a very complicated mood right now!"

"Does it mean from spreading fire? To hunting?"

"The first concept image of the original painting is a dragon, and the second one shows a hunter. Do you think this is a hint? It implies that the dragon is the protagonist, and the hunter we play is the prey?"

"I think it's not impossible, look at the title of the game, do you think it's possible to understand it this way? "Monster (noun) Hunting (verb) People (noun"

"Damn it, God can understand Monster Hunter like this, but I have to say the real image!"

When many players saw this second original concept painting, the impression of suffering in their minds came out at once.

Especially in the previous work, the very white dragon Heath, the unknown king riding a dragon, and the black dragon Karamite.

Many players think that this is not a soul game, right?

After all, the previous large-scale games of Nebula Games were only two "Dark Souls"!

Many players on the Internet are a little excited and a little scared.

After all, this black soul really impressed them too deeply.

Including Chuanhuo, big brother, this sentence has become a stalk.

Of course, there are more players who shake M, and this time they are cheering to please, although it is no longer a story of spreading fire.

But isn't it the same with hunting?

"Come, come, the soul game is here!"

"It's finally here, do you know how I spent this year? If I don't get abused, I feel uncomfortable!"

"I can't wait a little bit. I heard that it seems to have used the latest AI technology of Nebula Games!"

"It's just that the previous 'Death Mode' felt that although there was a little improvement, it didn't make any difference?"

Many players are very excited.

But at this time, what surprised many people was that Chen Xu posted another official blog.

'I also understand the enthusiasm of online players, but what I want to say here is that "Monster Hunter: World" is not a soul game, it is a pure hunting and fighting game. ’

'The main gameplay of the game is to use a variety of weapons, travel through the jungle to hunt dragon creatures with your hunter partners, and collect materials from them to build better weapons and armors, and uncover the final truth about ancient dragons . ’

'So again, "Monster Hunter: World" is not a so-called soul game, so players who are looking forward to experiencing the feeling of a soul game, you may be disappointed. ’

In the Nebula game, Chen Xu looked at various comments on the Internet and sent an official blog to explain.

For the discussion of online players, it is still very necessary to declare.

After all, as a designer who is passionate and caring for the players, he must unravel the misunderstandings of the players!

Thinking that "Monster Hunter: World" is a soul game, and when you enter it, you find that it is completely different from what you thought, how disappointed the players are!
