Almighty Game Designer

Chen Jiao's video of playing "Escape" live in the middle of the night was soon sent to the Internet by the audience. Many people who dared not watch it live felt the same way after watching the video: How does Chen Jiao's "Escape" not seem to be scary at all?

This gives a delusion to a lot of players who haven't played Escape, as if the game were really simple.

A lot of players feel comfortable trying this game, and it's the end of the day... of course they're still scared to death...

However, Chen Jiao's live broadcast of "Escape" did further increase the sales of the game, adding to the VR game compartment for many players who didn't know or dared to buy the game.

As for the fact that a lot of people think that Chan's live broadcast is going to play the fun of "Escape", it's not going to happen at all.

Chen Jiao live broadcast time is the third day after the game goes live. At this point, in fact, a large number of players have already cleared "Escape". After all, the real game time is less than 2 hours. Even if the player goes crazy again, the simplicity and difficulty is basically cleared for 4 or 5 hours.

Even if Chen Weiwei doesn't broadcast live, there will certainly be other players who like to play horror games making various live narratives, clearing videos and passing customs strategies. Chen Weiwei's live broadcast and their secondary creations are completely unaffected by each other.

Moreover, even if Chen Qiao has shown the players the correct clearance position for insane difficulty, the other players should be scared to pee while playing.

If you don't believe me, download a copy of Escape and you'll find out.

In just three days, the volume of Escape has surpassed 30,000 sets, which is already remarkable as a very small horror game.

Escape is priced at $688, which is moderate in VR games. "Escape" is not a lot of investment, research and development time is not long. After all, in Chen's previous life, "Escape" is equivalent to a small cost independent game, the entire game production team is less than 20 people. And Chen Jiao's transplanting it onto the VR platform is nothing more than adding some input, not too much difficulty.

On the Thunder Game platform, the "Escape" game was unexpectedly rated high, reaching an ultra-high score of 9.4.

Players generally think this is a scary enough game, and if you put it in one word, it's scary!

And how exactly is that scary? Different people have different opinions, such as the night vision mode of the DV, how to play without a combat system, story backgrounds and plots, the virtual VR gaming experience, etc., all become important elements in baking this sense of terror.

After experiencing this wave of Escape, not only VR gamers, but even PC and mobile players have learned about the game through live broadcasts and video.

The impact of Escape far exceeds the sales of this game.

……

At the experience store, Chen Qiao is looking at the S1 finals schedule and related materials sent from Yanhuang.

Chen Jiao broadcast "Escape" live, actually borrowed the fear mask, otherwise it is impossible to be so calm. Although game designers know all about the level layout in the game and blaming the information, they are also scared to play.

Like a lot of players, even after clearing a simple difficulty, all kinds of monsters are ready for refresh patterns, high-energy plots, and going for a second week is still panicky, which is an instinctive reaction.

Fortunately, the system has a prop fear shield. Otherwise, Chen Jiao really doesn't dare to play madness live, so it won't be happily loaded.

Watching, the phone rings.

At first glance, it was Joe Hua, hurrying to pick up: “Minister Joe? ”

Joe Hua's voice came from the phone: “Congratulations, Chan, I heard that" Escape "is selling well. ”

Chen Qiao hastily said: “Thanks to Minister Qiao and Chairman Zhang's trial of" Escape ", players can play this game. ”

Joe Hua smiled: “By the way, this time I'm calling you, I just wanted to let you know that the players' reviews of" Escape "are very high and have a good response, so don't worry," Escape "will definitely not come off. ”

“Moreover, there was a general convergence of views on" Escape "within the JCC, which is also considered a successful attempt of domestic games in the VR field, and similar topics will be more relaxed in the future, which is also good news. ”

“Yes, it's really good news," said Chan. ”

“However,” said Joe Hua, “there is still a certain risk in this game, you should also continue to pay attention to this. Summarize your experience, and then R&D a similar game. It's best to say hello to me first, just like this one. ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Don't worry, I'm sure. ”

I hung up, and Chen Jiao was relieved.

In fact, horror games are far less horrible, and many people have a disproportionate fear of horror games, mainly in the form of weird ideas. At least on the news, I've heard of a lot of sudden death from playing games, but I've rarely heard of horror games being scared to death.

As long as you are a normal adult, you have no heart disease, high blood pressure or other illnesses, you are healthy, you will not be able to touch some horror elements, at best you will quit the game and stop playing.

People have an estimate of their courage, not to mention that Chen Jiao did a lot of precautions for the VR version of Escape and couldn't possibly go wrong.

After all, the entire gaming industry in parallel worlds is completely different from previous generations, and some rules need to be explored slowly.

However, Chen Qiao doesn't have time for follow-up feedback on Escape, as the Champions League S1 World Final is about to open.

……

As the date approaches, much information about the finals continues to be revealed, including the venue, schedule, team entries, and more.

And one of the most exciting things about the game is the prize pool.

In his official capacity as the League of Heroes, Chen Qiao announced that the base bonus of the total prize pool for this S1 World Final will be 40 million soft sister coins, the championship team will win 20 million, the sub-armies will win 10 million, and the teams of the top four, eight and sixteen will also have prizes.

This means that even foreign teams will receive 200,000 rewards if they are eliminated in S1 rounds and group games.

If you convert it into a knife, this time the total prize pool is nearly $7 million!

Of course, because S1 is invitational, such a bonus pool division may seem a little strange, and many people may wonder why a team that doesn't make it out of the team wins 200,000 bonuses?

This is mainly for future consideration. When the League of Heroes moves globally, each World Final spot will have to cross the tier to get it. The 200,000 prize is nothing compared to the efforts made by these teams for the S-spot, and the prize is considered a consolation prize.

In addition, Chen Jiao announced that the Blade of Championship - Leaven skin will be available during the finals and that purchasing this skin will receive a complimentary version of the S1 World Finals Avatar and Avatar Box, while 50% of the skin proceeds will be included in the prize pool for this World Finals.
