Almighty Game Designer

On the first day of work, Jiang Huan was still a little grumpy.

Because Zhou Peng told him that the main job of the tester was to test those "experience-type” games, and that a large part of them were horror games, that is, to stimulate players' emotions in various ways, so as to assess whether such games would have a negative impact on ordinary players and whether they could be promoted on a large scale.

If not, you may have to make some adjustments to the game.

However, Jiang Huan is not particularly worried about these things because he feels that his psychological qualities are good enough not to be scared to pee by horror games.

Moreover, since a special test had been passed, it should be fine, after all, only 15 per cent had passed the test.

After Jiang Huan sat at the workstation, Zhou Peng briefed Jiang Huan roughly on the basic process of work, and then went to do his thing.

Simply put, go into the game cabin and experience the game, and the system automatically generates the corresponding data. The tester didn't just get through, he had to go to week N.

All of this data is automatically aggregated by the system and automatically recorded throughout the game.

At the same time, the system screens out some of the testers for intense emotional fluctuations or irregular emotional changes (i.e., inconsistencies with the AI system expectations). The testers should indicate their thoughts and feelings at the time. If they feel this design is unreasonable, write down what they think is wrong.

Looks like a simple job, but during this month's trial period, AI systems and other experienced testers will check Jiang Huan's work to see if it meets the requirements.

And this job doesn't mean that you just have to be serious enough. Serious is just one thing, and more importantly, you have to be different.

Because the screened testers are basically different types of people with different psychological qualities, some do not have a cold for horror games, some are more sensitive to some emotional dramas, some have minor personality defects...

In other words, the testers represent different representative personalities, the same type of tester does not need so many, so it is the key to deciding whether to stay or not to show characteristics different from those of other testers.

As for what this trait really is, it has to be dug up at work.

Jiang Huan checked on the computer and all the testing procedures were normal. Some of them lay in the game room.

This is not his first time in the game room, but he does play VR less often because of poverty.

“So the game to try this week is... Biochemical Crisis? ”

“It sounds like a horror game, but it shouldn't be too hard for me. ”

Jiang Huan is not blind and confident, mainly he knows that he is a dull person.

It's not just about the feeling of fear, it's also very dull about other feelings, such as watching a very touching movie, the whole cinema is crying very rarely, just his own misty water; watching a play everyone else laughs back and forth, just his face, etc.

Even when watching horror films, even if it's the kind of recognized horror that opens doors and kills drama, and scares a lot of people into squeaking, he doesn't feel anything.

This sluggishness caused him a lot of trouble, such as the fact that one of his former girlfriends used to call him "ruthless”, unlike a living person. But Jiang Huan didn't think it was a big deal. Why should everyone be affectionate?

But think about it, maybe that's one of the reasons he was chosen to be a tester.

After entering the game, start with a simple out-of-date animation.

It was also a general routine for horror games, where the wife disappeared and the husband drove alone to an abandoned farm in the wilderness to find her.

Three years ago, Ethan's wife, Mia, disappeared bizarrely, and three years later, Ethan received an email asking him to pick her up at Baker's Farm in Louisiana, and the lead came here with no hesitation.

Parking, extinguishing fire, getting out of the car, Jiang Huan found that he had gained control of his body.

Jiang Huan looked down at the body of the protagonist Ethan and was quite strong. Pockets all over her body, only Mia's e-mail and a photo of two people.

Jiang Huan put the mail back together and started moving forward.

Now that it's a test, it's definitely going to have to play all the content carefully, otherwise it won't work.

The vegetation around this farm is very lush, the weeds are bush and the bugs are a little irritating. And trees and weeds alike show a strange dead yellow, as if they were growing in an extremely unhealthy way.

The iron gate of the farm was seen far away, but it was locked and could not be opened.

Jiang Huan had some hesitation to go to the death and ring the doorbell. After that, he didn't make any noise. Apparently, it was broken.

Looking up at the barbed wire fence, the barbed wire was pulled over the barbed wire fence, which was already high. It was almost three meters tall, and it was crazy to want to turn it over.

Jiang Huan roughly felt that his body was stronger than ordinary people, but he was still dreaming about crossing this iron fence.

“There's got to be a trail. ”

Jiang Huan knew that horror games all liked to play this hand. It was absolutely impossible to let the player enter through the front door with great generosity. He would definitely have to take a trail around seven corners. It would be better to drill a dog hole or two and bake the atmosphere in advance.

Jiang Huan looked around and found a trail of tree shadows. At the end, he found an abandoned white van and a gap.

“Hmm?”

Jiang Huan opened the van door and searched for anything of value.

Friends have always joked that Jiang Huan is an obsessive-compulsive patient. In fact, this is not appropriate. Jiang Huan is just a collection habit. No matter what game he plays, he likes to collect all the elements and even try to put a game on his liver a dozen times.

All next generation VR games have a special option called [Key Items Tip]. When this option is turned on, some items related to the plot will be highlighted, turning it off will be exactly the same as regular items in the scene.

For example, Jiang Huan found this business paper in the van.

He didn't open this option, so at first glance, the proposal was still in the van seat like a piece of paper, but when he picked it up, some information appeared on it.

“Program plans - dive into a ghost house in Louisiana. ”

Jiang Huan opened the project book and turned it over. There is a lot of content written on it. A TV show wants to dive into a ghost house in Louisiana to shoot a show. Even exploration routes, cameras, related publicity content, etc. have been planned.

“A ghost house in Louisiana? That's where it is. ”

Jiang Huan looked at the abandoned tripod next to the van, obviously for the camera. I just don't know why they left it here, probably because the cameraman came in with the camera and didn't use this tripod?
