I Make Games To Scare Crying Players

  Chapter 18 Purchase games, recruit employees

  DLC refers to the follow-up downloadable content of the game itself.

  Generally, the content of the game is expanded, so that players can enjoy more additional game content while experiencing the original game.

   It's as if you bought an order of French fries and the store gave you a packet of ketchup.

  This ketchup is DLC.

  French fries are the game itself.

  The main plot of "Resident Evil 7" tells the story of an ordinary man named Ethan, who came to the abandoned mansion in the wilderness in order to find his missing wife, and met the mutated Baker family here.

  The main line is that Ethan escaped after rescuing his wife, and then killed the Baker family who became monsters step by step.

  However, during the game, the player will find some video tapes. After playing, they can temporarily control a character named Clancy.

The main character Clancy is a photographer. He followed the team to explore Baker’s house, and he experienced the same narrow escape as Ethan. Still miserable.

  The DLC tells the story of Clancy, the main character, who experienced two crises that required brains.

   Among them, "Blackjack" is a game where Clancy was caught after being attacked by Baker's son Lucas, and played a game of betting on his life.

   Players need to win the three-round crisis of severed fingers, electric shocks, and cutting, and gain freedom.

   Otherwise, it is GameOver.

  Meng Shu chose the DLC of "Resident Evil 7" as a VR case. The fundamental reason is that "Blackjack" is small in size and fun enough, with simple rules and a sense of tension when playing.

   It can be said to be a **** version of the puzzle game.

  Especially after the victory, the painful scream of being executed on the other side reminds the players all the time: If you lose, you will end up in the same way!

  But the players in the original world, because they have been baptized by various horror games and are separated from the screen, so they don't have much emotional fluctuations in this life-and-death game.

   But in this world, tsk tsk.

  Welcome to feel the charm of death!

  So Meng Shu singled out "Blackjack" as the first shot in the field of VR games.

  Buying the full set of "Resident Evil 7" requires 105,000,000 scare points, and he only has 568,000 points, so he can't afford it at all.

   But if you only buy one of the DLCs, it is still possible.

  Meng Shu selected "Blackjack", and the required scare value was immediately displayed.

  210,000 scare points!

   A small DLC is so expensive!

   But still within the acceptable range.

  Meng Shu immediately chose to buy, and immediately, the system showed that his game purchase was successful.

  【You have obtained the DLC of the horror game "Resident Evil 7" and the hand-in-hand development tutorial of "Blackjack"】

  【You got the DLC of the horror game "Resident Evil 7" and the conceptual design of "Blackjack"】

  【You have obtained the DLC of the horror game "Resident Evil 7", and how to make the VR version of "Blackjack"】

  Clatter—

  Accompanied by the sound of coins colliding, his scare value was finally 358,000 points left.

  The hand handling the large intestine paused slightly.

  A stream of professional knowledge appeared in the brain out of thin air.

  In just two breaths, he completely understood it, and it became one of his abilities.

   Then, he exhaled, shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face.

   "Sure enough, there are no such things as art resources"

   "Forget it, since the game has been bought, VR is also on the agenda. Recruiting people, let's start tomorrow."

   As he spoke, he stopped thinking about it and concentrated on handling the ingredients in his hands.

  That night, when the two elders came back from overtime work, they all showed a look of astonishment when they saw a table of delicious food.

  Little girl Meng's eyes widened even more, and she asked what day is today?

  The two elders are honest, but they are also curious about why they cook so many dishes today.

  Responding to this, Meng Shu shrugged and made up an excuse, saying that he had found a job and was going to work tomorrow, so tonight was a celebration and a good meal.

  The honest and responsible character of the parents made them not doubt him, and they were even happy together.

  Little girl Meng directly picked up the chopsticks and ate happily, not a lady at all.

  The two elders also sat down, picked up their chopsticks and started to eat. While eating, they chatted about trivial matters encountered at work.

  Meng Shu drank the water quietly, responded to the elders' questions from time to time, raised his eyes and silently looked at the family.

  Mother's sallow and wrinkled hands gently picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in Meng Shu's bowl. Picked up another one, dipped it in sauce, and gave it to Little Meng.

   Then she picked one up for herself, and before she had time to dip it in the sauce, she eagerly bit down on it. It was so hot that she drank a big mouthful of drinking water.

  As for the father, he picked up the fried sausage and chewed it with relish, his face full of enjoyment.

  Meng Shu got up, took two bottles of beer from the refrigerator and handed them over.

   This made my father stare straight at it, and he couldn't wait to take it, then opened the bottle and poured it up, and finally exhaled a big breath, his face was full of relief.

   This is his new family, an ordinary and hard-working little family.

  He didn't tell them that he had made tens of millions because he didn't think it was time.

  The money has been earned, but it has not yet arrived.

  Besides, this money is going to be invested in the company's development, so it can't be touched randomly.

  He planned to wait for the company to operate stably and have enough money to buy a house directly, and then tell them the good news.

  In Meng Shu's view, instead of telling them in advance, let them have expectations and look forward to the sky and the earth.

  It is better to tell them the day, and the whole family will start a new life, saving the hard hope and anticipation.

  The two elders are used to hard times, and they are also family members, so there is no need to pretend to be aggressive in front of them.

   Therefore, Meng Shu chose to hide it temporarily.

  …

  The next day, he came to the company.

  Looking at the huge 'Only Game' LED signboard at the front desk, he smiled.

   Then he walked in and came to his own independent office.

  Office supplies and work computers have been purchased.

   From now on, he will be developing games here, not at home.

  Although little girl Meng still wears a plaster cast, she can already move around freely at home and does not need someone to look after her.

   And Meng Shu also made it clear that if there is something urgent, call.

   After finishing everything, he came to the company and started recruiting online.

  The system gave him conceptual design drafts, so these drafts need to be made into art resources.

  First of all, 3D modelers are indispensable, so let’s recruit one for now.

   Then there is the scene designer, and one is recruited first.

   Next is the animator in charge of motion capture, whose main job is to adjust the body movements and facial expressions of game characters.

  Other original artists and special effects artists are not needed for the time being, and the system can replace them.

   Then there is the program, which is not needed for the time being. He can do it by himself. Let’s recruit people later when the real VR game is made. Now the time is urgent, so he will take it first.

   Planning is also not required.

   Next is finance, which is very necessary, an absolute position in a company.

   "Let's do this for now, the most urgent thing is to get out the art resources first, everything else is easy to talk about."

  After planning, Meng Shu announced the recruitment.

   During the waiting period, he contacted Unlimited Online Entertainment again.

  As one of the leading companies in China, and they also have experience in developing games, they must have motion capture equipment, or recommend it.

   Sure enough, after asking, the other party said that they can help to purchase, and it must be professional equipment with the best effect and high quality.

   This saved him a lot of time.

   After completing these tasks, he began to continue the development of the final chapter of the Dark Forest.

  Compared with the previous two chapters, this chapter is not large in volume. He has done it intermittently a few days ago, and he has already made 70% of the progress.

   It will take up to three to four days to complete.

  When EA is over and the official version is released, sales should also increase a lot.

   It will be of great help to future VR game plans!
