I Make Games To Scare Crying Players
author HaseoGHS© Webnovel Fever
chapter 1: A world where the horror genre is very backward
【Sorry, due to your lack of experience, the company leader thinks that you are temporarily unqualified for the character animation position. I hope you can find a suitable job. Goodbye】
【Sorry, the company only recruits motion designers with more than five years of experience, you are not satisfied yet, sorry】
【The person in charge looked at your resume and thinks that you have a promising future, but the position is currently fully filled. I'm really sorry, please forgive me】
【Read but not replied】
【Read but not replied】
【Read but not replied】
Meng Shu sat on the window sill, looked at the phone, sneered, and spoke softly in a slightly mocking tone.
"Meng Shu, Meng Shu, you are now the same as when I first started my business. You hit a wall everywhere and no one accepts you."
As he spoke, he picked up a can of happy water on the countertop, raised his head and took two sips.
This self-talk may sound strange to others, but it is normal for Meng Shu.
Because he is not the real Meng Shu, but a game producer named Qin Xuan who traveled over three hours ago.
After the initial doubts and incomprehensions, he slowly accepted his new identity.
The sentence just now was said by the producer to Meng Shu, who no longer exists.
Although only he can hear it.
After taking two sips of happy water again, he turned around and looked at the room.
The life of this new family is relatively difficult, and they have not even reached the standard of well-off.
Father is a water delivery worker, the kind of manual worker who delivers bottled purified water every day.
My mother is a dishwasher who washes countless dishes by hand in the back kitchen of a restaurant.
He also has a younger sister, a sophomore in college, who was hit by a drunken motorcycle outside the school, resulting in a broken leg, and is now recuperating at home.
Because the perpetrator could not afford the money, the huge medical expenses and early hospitalization expenses made the two elders miserable, and also made Meng Shu, who had just graduated, eager to find a job to relieve the pressure at home.
It can be said that the situation of this family is not optimistic.
Really need money!
Looking at the rejection message from HR on the phone, he didn't show any emotion.
Just shook his head, raised his head and drank two mouthfuls of happy water, looked out the window at the narrow alleyway, and sighed.
"It's no big deal to be rejected from a job. I used to be able to start from nothing, and I can change my identity and the world."
Meng Shu has fully accepted the new world and new life, and he finds Huaguo here very interesting,
Not to mention computers, I didn’t expect that even VR has become popular!
And the development in all aspects is similar to the original world, the difference is that the great stars of the previous life do not exist in this world.
Similarly, there are no such well-known works.
And this parallel world is a bit biased.
Because horror-related things are very backward in development.
Whether it’s horror movies, horror novels, horror games, horror music, etc.
Any scary things are of low level in this world.
So much so that the word horror has become another way of expressing shock.
Example: This is too shocking.
becomes: This is too frightening.
So, in this world, horror is not called horror, but horror.
And all the horror works seem to be 'petty'.
It's not scary, but it's boring, and it's even funny and romantic.
In addition, the audience is unpopular, the subject matter is poor, there is no creativity, and the plot is single, so gradually no one cares about it, resulting in the extremely slow development of horror-related content, and even a tendency to stagnate.
Not to mention the scaring tricks and creative skills of the original world.
In this world, nothing.
There is suspense, but it is childish, and it is obviously just getting started.
The name Detective Conan is put into this world, there is a high probability that it will be very popular.
However, although VR has been developed and popularized, computers are still the mainstream.
VR is mainly used in the film and television industry and real simulation.
For example, simulated driving and VR watching dramas, etc., give people the most direct personal experience.
There are also VR games, you can count them on one finger, and they are produced by big companies, but the quality is shoddy, and no one wants to play.
At the very least, the quality is not as good as the original world VR game, and it can even be said that it is not even qualified for comparison.
This has led to the fact that games are still popular on the computer side and the host side, and the three types of guns, cars and **** account for the vast majority.
"VR?"
Meng Shu glanced at a head-mounted device on the computer table. It was simple in shape, with blue light flowing, and it had a sense of technology.
Although the family's economy is not optimistic, there are still these popular things.
He also experienced it just now, trying the extremely crude simulated driving.
Apart from the vibration feedback, there is no other physical sensation.
This point is the same as the VR in the original world.
It's a pity that there is no suitable game for him to entertain.
【Ding! Simple game development system has been activated]
【You have a novice gift pack, do you want to open it? 】
Meng Shu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately became excited!
The calm heart in my heart also became active with this mechanical sound.
Is this my golden finger? Sure enough, it is standard for time travelers.
Simple game development system.
Is this easier to help me build from scratch?
"It's not bad, at least, it can speed up the progress of making money in this world and make this family better."
"It also comes with a novice gift bag, but I'm looking forward to the contents inside. I hope it's a good thing."
Meng Shu silently said in his heart to open.
The next second, the mechanical sound sounded.
【You got 500 fright points】
【You got a panel with main attribute +60】
【You get a game development engine that monkeys can use】
【You have obtained the hand-in-hand development tutorial of the horror game "Dark Forest"】
【You have obtained the concept design and publicity CG of the horror game "Dark Forest"】
【You have obtained all the art resources of the horror game "Dark Forest" (only available in the novice gift pack)】
【You have obtained the prologue demo of the horror game "Dark Forest" (only available in the novice gift package)】
【You have obtained all the original soundtracks of the horror game "Dark Forest" (only available in the novice gift package)】
【You have obtained the production method of the first-person VR version of the horror game "Dark Forest"】
"Dark Forest?"
Seeing this large row, Meng Shu's eyes widened slightly, a little surprised and a little happy.
Then, he closed his eyes.
Suddenly, a lot of professional knowledge appeared in my mind.
There is also a very simple properties panel.
Planning: 60 (normal)
Programs: 60 (General)
Fine Arts: 60 (General)
Music: 60 (General)
Total scare value: 500
I see
Meng Shu, who was silent for a few minutes, understood the function of this system.
To put it simply, this simple game development system includes a mall with hand-made tutorials for all the games in the original world.
From 3A games to small pixel games, basically as long as they can be called electronic games, this system has them all.
However, these games require a currency called scare value to purchase.
As for the fright value, it is necessary to stimulate the player through the produced game and make it produce such a frightened emotion.
A frightened player will generate a fright value of 1 point, and it will not stop and can be generated repeatedly.
As long as the player can be scared!
Overall, it’s not bad. Although the ratio of 1:1 is relatively small, if the same game allows the same person to spawn repeatedly, there will always be a lot of them.
"Scar value."
Meng Shu pondered for a moment, then sat on the computer chair.
If there is any game that can scare players, it must be horror games.
There are many horror games in the original world, and many of them are high-quality works.
There are even some horror games, even he has been scared.
If these scary games are restored in this world, in terms of the backward level of horror here, I am afraid that the scare value will continue to flow.
The reason why this parallel world is frighteningly backward is that it lacks creativity and skills, and no one is willing to dig deeper over time.
In this case
Such a good blank market, if I don’t enter it, wouldn’t I be sorry for the system?
It’s just a trial demo, art resources, and original soundtrack composition, which are only available in the novice package, and games purchased with scare points in the future will not have these three items, which is a pity.
But what he didn't expect was that the first horror game given by the novice gift pack would be "Dark Forest"!
As a game producer in the original world, he has naturally heard of this game, played it, and passed the level.
In this regard, Meng Shu's evaluation of "Dark Forest" is:
A small production game that allows people to experience 'top depression' and 'thrilling fear'.

chapter 2: 《阴暗森林》
“所以我现在是要复刻这款游戏吗?”
孟舒眨了眨眼,望着自己的双手,心中激情渐生。
好像也不是没可能?
脑子里已经有了这款游戏的所有构造代码,再加上自己60的程序数值,照着打出来就行。
并且四大属性都达到了60,所以他也算得上是一名多能型人才了。
就连游戏的美术资源也有了,此时等于是一堆散落零件在等待着组装而已。
既然这样,那就事不宜迟,试试看! 孟舒身子坐正,开启了电脑。
就在这一瞬间,脑中的机械音再次响起。
【叮,检测到常用电脑,游戏开发引擎已复制到桌面。注意,离开电脑30分钟后,本引擎将自行卸载,未完成的工程文件将实时保存】
孟舒被这声音叮的愣了下,随即笑了起来。
“可以可以!”
“就是不知道这个猴子都能使用的游戏开发引擎是怎么样的。”
结果他话音刚落,系统机械音再次响起。
【本系统专注游戏制作,您将使用系统出品的引擎开发游戏,无需为代码困扰,且无BUG问题,全面缩减制作成本】
【功能1:语音/手打输入中文,自动转换对应代码】
【功能2:代码自动运行,完善后续行为逻辑】
【功能3:游戏数值会显示参考范围,可套用,也可任意输入】
【功能4:调整角色动作,万种动作素材随意套用】
【功能5:多种美术风格一键转换】
【功能6:4K高清材质任意使用】
“还有吗?”
静等了一分钟,机械音不再响起,孟舒才确定了这引擎的6项功能。
中文自动转代码? 真强!
尽管他原来并不是程序员,但也知道写代码的辛苦。
但凡出错了一点,光排查都很花时间。
现在系统出品的开发引擎直接把这个难点给简化了,给他省了不少的功夫。
此时的桌面上,出现了一个默认图标的乱码程序,不出意外,应该就是开发引擎了。
孟舒双击点开,顿时脑中出现了一股信息流。
是这个引擎的使用方法。
仅在一瞬间,他就会了! “这种突如其来的知识和熟练度真是神奇”
这是他的评价。
开发引擎非常简单朴素,就一个空白界面,上面还有六大功能的按钮。
对比原来世界的虚幻引擎,这个系统引擎,很‘朴实’。
现在脑中有这款游戏的手把手开发教程,那么,开始尝试制作。
孟舒的双手,放在了键盘上。
虽然可以语音输入,但他还是想键盘手打,因为这可以方便修改错字以及慢慢思考,也能更好地组织语言。
他有了Demo,那么现在就制作出第一关! 《阴暗森林》这款游戏,在游玩体验上,别的不说,打击感和探索欲几乎拉满,在恐怖氛围上也吊打一些所谓的‘大制作游戏’。
做到了小而精的出色品质。
它是一款上帝俯视角的恐怖游戏,讲述了1987年的某国一处森林,因为一些未知原因,使得森林变异腐化,导致树木疯狂生长,阻断了道路,还遮挡了阳光,让大部分地方笼罩在黑暗里。
森林中,居住着部分居民,他们因为森林变异而受困于其中,与外界失去了联系,苟延残喘。
随着时间的推移,他们渐渐被森林的一种蘑菇腐化感染,成为了丧失理智的野人、菌人、蜈蚣人等变异生物。
就这样,随着这种感染疾病的扩散,一些更为恐怖的存在出现了. 而玩家,在里面扮演一位失去记忆的外界研究员,深入这片森林进行调查 孟舒记得,这款游戏他当年游玩的时候,时刻被一种紧张的压迫感所笼罩。
这是连《凶宅》和《面容》等灵异类恐怖游戏都无法带给他的感觉,
也就《恶灵附身》和《异形隔离》以及《布莱尔女巫》能给他相同感受了,这足以说明小制作的《阴暗森林》在氛围上的过人之处。
这游戏的玩法比较普通,玩家需要在白天去危险的森林中搜寻物资,晚上则要回到安全屋进行过夜。
但游戏的亮点就在于夜晚诡异事件。
只有到了晚上,才是游戏中最精彩和吓人的地方。
安全屋,代表着让玩家喘一口气,放松心情,中场休息。
无论外面的怪物多么无敌厉害,玩家只要进了安全屋,就能放下心来,调整精神状态。
但在《阴暗森林》里面,安全屋并不安全,因为它仅仅只是让你‘有可能’存活下去。
傍晚过后,玩家需要及时赶回安全屋,利用白天收集到的资源,打开气炉,启动发电机,封闭门窗,然后 选个容易防守的房间,躲在角落,等待白天的到来,或者奇迹的降临 因为夜晚的森林,会有一些‘东西’,想要进安全屋。
它们会在外面发出刺耳的恐怖尖啸,影响玩家的San值。
它们会敲门,破坏你封闭起来的门窗,强闯进来伤害你。
它们会钻地洞,进屋袭击,房间门还会莫名其妙的打开,也会产生幻觉,甚至还有鬼魂关掉你的灯,让你陷入黑暗当中,穿墙进屋攻击你。
对比白天,夜晚才是游戏中最好玩的部分。
初体验这款游戏的玩家,到了晚上都是缩在角落里瑟瑟发抖,不敢动弹,祈祷安全到天亮。
白天探索森林已经够恐怖的了,到了晚上还要在安全屋高度集中精神躲避危险。
这就是《阴暗森林》的魅力。
而这样的游戏,放在这个恐怖类贫瘠的世界里,不敢说全部,但应该能吓到大部分玩家,给他贡献惊吓值。
所以孟舒一整个白天都在电脑前还原这款游戏。
当晚上7点后,他呼出口气,伸了伸懒腰。
看着电脑里被还原了大概30%第一章的游戏内容后,露出了满意的笑容。
第一章的地图大小和序章完全不是一个量级。
序章只是一个小屋以及一条线性道路,整体是独立区域,并且在游戏后期玩家还可以回到序章这里。
而第一章,论大小就足足有三个区域。
每个区域都有个内部结构不一样的安全屋,还有各种残破建筑,以及NPC跟一些支线。
而支线任务的剧情也非常隐晦,还有不同的完成方式,让玩家自行判断和选择。
这也是孟舒喜欢的玩法之一。
另一点喜欢的就是,地图会随着玩家的复活而随机生成。
比如之前的资源点,会被随机到其他地方,让你只能重新寻找,难以背板。
不过这些游戏机制和玩法,孟舒能照着脑中的教程完美还原,然后为这个平行世界的玩家呈现上来,让他们尖叫连连。
经过一整个白天的制作,他已经确定可以独立完成这款游戏了,无非就是要花些时间而已。
所以他毫不犹豫的,将游戏的一个实机演示发在了全国最大的视频弹幕网上。
然后把已经本地汉化后的试玩Demo上传到云盘,并把链接贴在了简介里。
最后打上标题——
【个人开发!国产恐怖游戏《阴暗森林》实机演示,附带试玩Demo】
再打上简介: ‘你身处暗无天日的森林当中,白天要搜寻物资,晚上还要躲避恐怖生物的袭击,你能存活多少天,你最后能不能离开森林?’
然后,选择了发布。
看着正在审核的提示,孟舒起身,伸了个懒腰。
发到弹幕网的目的,就是吸引眼球,获得关注。
同时献上Demo,让网友能够随意下载,亲自体验。
至于能不能靠这个拉到投资,他不敢想,毕竟这不是黑神话,他也没有公司,没有对公账户。
所以发出去,也仅仅只是获得一定的关注量,为成品打造一个基础而已。
做完这些后,他手机突然一响。
拿起一看,是妹妹发来的V信,上面就简单的一句话。
[哥哥,到我房间来一下。] 孟舒:. 他皱了皱眉,没说什么,离开房间来到了妹妹的房前,敲了敲门。
没动静? 孟舒再次皱眉,在门口喊了两声,但依旧没有回应。
该不会出什么事了吧?
要知道她现在因为腿骨折在家休养,那么叫自己过来一定有什么事,但现在却没反应?
孟舒不再迟疑,直接推开面前的旧木门。
顿时,一股淡淡的清香扑鼻而来。
狭小的房间里,没有开灯,孟小然坐在床上,戴着一个VR,嘴角傻笑,不知道在看什么。
她长发及腰,衣着清凉,露出一双白皙大腿。
而右小脚,则打着石膏,无法动弹。
但仍然不能阻止她左小腿的来回晃荡。
看到这一幕,孟舒摇了摇头。
幸好没出什么事。
不过到底在看什么啊 他敲了敲门,这一次,比关门时更大声。
听到动静的孟小然啊了一声,摘下了蓝牙耳机,连VR都没取下就大咧咧的开口。
“啊!老哥!爸妈今晚加班,我们晚上吃啥!”
还没等孟舒接话,这妹妹又开口了,语速还很快。
“吃炒饭吗?那我要加两个鸡腿啊。”
孟舒:. 就为了这事,把我叫到你房间里来? 直接在手机上说不就好了吗?
孟舒摇摇头,打量着这个妹妹。
这是他穿越过来,第一次看到她。
记忆中,这个妹妹在中学时,乖巧文静,小家碧玉。
但到了大学,不知道是不是释放了野性,变的特别调皮特别野。
即使腿受了伤,也不安宁。
不过倒是挺懂事的,知道家里的情况不好,经济紧张,点外卖也只吃炒饭炒米粉这类较为便宜的食物。
不过嘛. 外卖总归是不能多吃的,所以孟舒打算露一手,让她开开胃。
“今晚我来做饭吧。”
孟小然顿时一怔,连忙摘下VR,吃惊的看着自家老哥。
“哥,你啥时候会做饭了?”
看着面前丫头的惊讶表情,孟舒笑了笑。
“一直都会,今天就不吃外卖了,在家里吃吧,干净又卫生。”
孟小然愕然的看着自己老哥转身离开,脸上浮现出不相信的神色,但更多的是担心和害怕。
因为 能吃吗. (本章完)
