Chapter 52: Subversive design!
Let’s get started!
After finalizing the project type, Gu Sheng began to prepare.
He first wrote a draft of the game project according to his own memory.
After all, he also has experience in game production, so the general framework is not difficult for him.
A few days later, as the system's emotion value reached 50,000 points, Gu Sheng immediately exchanged the detailed information and structure of "Phasmophobia" in the system .
After perfecting the plan, he took Lu Bian and Dajiang to officially start the project.
Of course, before starting work, Gu Sheng also explained the specific settings of the game to the two in detail.
After all, the two of them looked listless ever since the project was confirmed.
Gu Sheng cannot let this pessimism affect the quality of the project.
"Come, take a look at the plan."
That afternoon, Gu Sheng finished the final version of the plan for phasmophobia and gave a copy to Lu Bian and Dajiang respectively.
"What's the point of planning this? Horror games are just that."
Lu Bian took over the project plan, still looking listless:
"Just create a main storyline and put some clearance items in the corner of the map."
"Pick up weapons, open doors, run into ghosts, get scared, kill ghosts, get items,"
"Repeat, repeat, repeat again, and then pass the level, that's all..."
That's what everyone does anyway.
Lu Bian really couldn't muster any interest.
He even felt that horror games were not as exciting as their "Vampire Survivor".
As he spoke, Lu Bian opened Gu Sheng's project plan with little interest.
However!
The first sentence of the project proposal caught his attention.
[Hello, paranormal investigator, or...ghost information dealer.]
"Ghost information dealer?!"
Lu Bian frowned in surprise.
What kind of a job is this?!
You know, in previous horror games, the characters that players usually played were either lone heroes, noble priests, or at worst demon hunters like Constantine!
But this time!
They actually want players to play the role of a supernatural information dealer!
Specially provide detailed intelligence for those demon hunters!
"Keep reading." Seeing Lu Bian's puzzled look, Gu Sheng took a sip of tea and raised his hand to signal him to continue reading.
[This time, players will play the role of a supernatural investigator and lead their team into a haunted house]
[Use various modern psychic instruments to identify ghost types and sell the information to professional ghost exorcism teams]
[Of course, ghosts are not easy to mess with]
[When checking the type of ghost, don't forget to pay attention to your own sanity at all times, and be on guard against ghosts hunting you at all times]
"……hiss,"
Looking at the project plan in his hand, Lu Bian took a deep breath, thought for a moment, then looked up and asked Gu Sheng:
"Then what?"
"What then?" Gu Sheng was confused.
"That's it..." Lu Bian pointed at the project plan: "After the ghost starts hunting, what do the players need to do?"
This is the introduction to Gu Sheng’s project plan. Below is the detailed setting and structure.
But according to Lu Bian’s habitual thinking, shouldn’t the plan end here?
What do players need to do after the ghost starts hunting?
For example, where to get weapons, how to repel the evil spirits that appear, or how to use a gourd to collect the ghosts.
"When players face the appearing evil spirits, they have to do something, right?" Lu Bian asked puzzledly.
"Oh, you're talking about this,"
Gu Sheng shrugged as a matter of course:
“Waiting to die.”
Lu Bian: ...
Silence for five seconds!
Lu Bian slowly raised his thumb: "...so damn reasonable!"
I couldn't refute it.
But I see that those horror games before didn’t do it this way!
"So our game doesn't leave any room for players to resist at all?!" Lu Bian was shocked.
"Yes, of course I did."
Gu Sheng seemed to have thought of this a long time ago:
"If you think this operation is extremely dangerous, you can spend a lot of money to buy an amulet."
"What's the effect?"
"Die later."
"Wow-oh-Unbelievable!"
Hearing this, Lu Bian slowly raised his hands and applauded Gu Sheng:
"What a useful tool!"
"The purpose of this thing is to draw a circle at my feet when a ghost is hunting me, then stare at the ghost, and when the time is up, I can watch the ghost kill me?"
Is this a prop that a human could come up with?
You are even more of a rip-off than the bald donkey selling fake beads in front of Guangyuan Temple!
"Or..." Gu Sheng shrugged: "Have you ever thought that you can take this opportunity to escape?"
Hearing this, Lu Bian became even more anxious:
"You mean I'm selling amulets for a lot of money just to get some excitement?"
"I'm leaving without completing the mission? A thief won't leave empty-handed!"
Seeing Lu Bian's determination to die for money, Gu Sheng was silent for two seconds, his eyes turned into disgust:
"Gambler, you deserve to die."
Hahahahahahaha——
Hearing this, Dajiang who was standing nearby couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing!
"Interesting! This game is so much fun!"
Dajiang clapped his hands and laughed:
"It's both scary and tricky, absolutely amazing."
Hearing this, Lu Bian couldn't help but laugh.
Although, the setting of this game is full of black humor and Gu Sheng's psychopathic taste.
But I have to admit that the game setting is really awesome!
Especially the "no weapons" setting which is quite psychopathic!
It completely subverts the previous setting in the gaming circle that defines demon ghosts as hostile monsters!
What Gu Sheng wants to create is the real ghost !
Can't be repelled! Can't be dispelled! Can't be killed!
Lu Bian and Dajiang couldn't help laughing when they thought about the players being trapped in the room, dodging evil spirits and screaming in despair.
It’s fun to think about!
…
As the saying goes, it is not easy to learn good things, but it is easy to learn bad things.
Once a person starts to become mentally ill, it is difficult to stop.
Especially when there is Gu Sheng in the team, an old guy who has participated in the production of games such as Dark Souls——
"Don't limit the appearance of ghosts to adults. I think children are more impactful..."
"...No, the eyeballs don't need to be white. They need to be pure black, like a hole."
"Hey, I suddenly had a good idea. How about letting the ghost lie on the ceiling?"
"This is great! It would be better to make the layer height of this picture lower so that it will be a FaceToFace when you look up."
"Wouldn't that make it Jumpscare again?"
"How can that be the same? The core of Jumpscare is Jump. Our ghosts don't jump, they just sit on the ceiling and watch you quietly..."
"Fuck, stop talking, brother, why do I feel a little cold... "
"Is it cold already? Do you take a shower at night? You have to close your eyes when washing your hair, right? Can you guarantee that when you close your eyes, there is nothing staring at you?"
"Fuck! Old Gu, you are a devil! Why did you use the word 'thing'?!"
"Because you're not sure what that thing is ..."
"Stop talking, Brother Sheng, wuwuwu, I have to take a shower every day, wuwuwuwu..."
"Tsk, it's okay that Bian is afraid because of kidney deficiency, but Dajiang, did you grow so big for nothing?"
"Then is there a possibility that you are too dark..."
Chat and laugh!
Inspiration and thinking constantly create sparks in the collision.
However, this is very hard for Dajiang.
He was originally the least courageous among the three, but now he has to draw original paintings while listening to ghost stories every day.
It's simply inhuman torture...
finally!
Three months later!
"Phasmophobia", which was planned and designed by Gu Sheng, with Lu Bian Dajiang as the core, and an outsourced team of nearly a hundred people, with a total investment of two million, has been announced to be completed!
This is Golden Wind's first motion sensing cabin game.
It is also the return of the somatosensory cabin horror game after years of silence!
It is the culmination of Shen Miaomiao's painstaking efforts and blind JB's guidance. It is a real loss!
【bite!】
June! Summer Solstice!
Following a prompt sound in Shen Miaomiao's mind!
The system, which had been silent for several months, once again made a pleasant and crisp sound.
[This round of investment starts! ]
[Project: Phasmophobia]
【Project investment amount: 2 million yuan】
[Estimated rebate amount: 20 million yuan]
[Remaining settlement time: 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds]
