Chapter 2： "Dark Forest"

  Chapter 2 "Dark Forest"

   "So I'm going to remake this game now?"

  Meng Shu blinked, looking at his hands, passion grew in his heart.

   It seems that it is not impossible?

  I already have all the construction codes of this game in my mind, plus my own program value of 60, just type it out.

   And the four attributes have reached 60, so he can be regarded as a versatile talent.

  Even the art resources of the game are available. At this time, it is equivalent to a pile of scattered parts waiting to be assembled.

  In that case, without further ado, give it a try!

  Meng Shu sat upright and turned on the computer.

   At this moment, the mechanical sound in his head sounded again.

  【Ding, a common computer has been detected, and the game development engine has been copied to the desktop. Note, after leaving the computer for 30 minutes, the engine will uninstall itself, and unfinished project files will be saved in real time]

  Meng Shu was stunned by the sound, and then laughed.

"Ok, Ok!"

   "I just don't know what kind of game development engine this monkey can use."

  As a result, just as he finished speaking, the mechanical sound of the system sounded again.

  【This system focuses on game production, you will use the engine produced by the system to develop games, no need to worry about codes, and no BUG problems, reducing production costs in an all-round way】

  【Function 1: Voice/manual input Chinese, automatically convert the corresponding code】

  【Function 2: Code runs automatically, perfecting follow-up behavior logic】

  【Function 3: The game value will display the reference range, which can be applied or input arbitrarily】

  【Function 4: Adjust character movements, thousands of action materials can be applied at will】

  【Function 5: One-click conversion of multiple art styles】

  【Function 6: Free use of 4K HD materials】

   "Any more?"

   After waiting for a minute, the mechanical sound stopped, and Meng Shu confirmed the six functions of the engine.

  Chinese automatic code conversion?

   Really strong!

  Although he is not a programmer, he also knows the hard work of writing code.

   Whenever something goes wrong, it takes time to check it out.

  Now the development engine produced by the system directly simplifies this difficulty, saving him a lot of effort.

  At this time, a garbled program with a default icon appeared on the desktop. Not surprisingly, it should be the development engine.

  Meng Shu double-clicked to open it, and a stream of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

   is how to use this engine.

   In just a split second, he will!

   “This sudden knowledge and proficiency is magical”

   This is his evaluation.

  The development engine is very simple and simple, just a blank interface with six function buttons on it.

  Compared to the Unreal Engine in the original world, this system engine is very 'simple'.

   Now that you have a step-by-step development tutorial for this game in your mind, let's start making it.

  Meng Shu put his hands on the keyboard.

  Although voice input is possible, he still wants to type on the keyboard by hand, because it can facilitate correction of typos, slow thinking, and better organization of language.

  He has a demo, so now make the first level!

  The game "Dark Forest", in terms of playing experience, among other things, the sense of shock and the desire to explore are almost full, and it also plays some so-called "big production games" in terms of horror atmosphere.

   It has achieved small but fine and excellent quality.

It is a horror game from the perspective of God. It tells the story of a forest in a certain country in 1987. Due to some unknown reasons, the forest mutated and corrupted, causing the trees to grow wildly, blocking the road, and blocking the sun. shrouded in darkness.

  In the forest, some residents lived. They were trapped in it due to the mutation of the forest, lost contact with the outside world, and survived.

  As time went by, they were gradually infected by a kind of mushroom corruption in the forest, and became mutated creatures such as savages, fungus people, and centipede people who lost their minds.

  In this way, with the spread of this infectious disease, some more terrifying existences appeared.

  The player, who plays the role of an outside researcher who has lost his memory, goes deep into this forest to investigate

  Meng Shu remembered that when he played this game back then, he was always shrouded in a sense of tension and oppression.

   This is a feeling that even supernatural horror games such as "Haunted House" and "Face" can't bring him,

   Even "The Evil Within", "Alien Isolation" and "Blair Witch" can give him the same feeling, which is enough to show that the small production "Dark Forest" is outstanding in atmosphere.

  The gameplay of this game is relatively ordinary. Players need to search for supplies in the dangerous forest during the day, and return to the safe house for the night at night.

   But the highlight of the game is the weird events at night.

   Only at night is the most exciting and scary place in the game.

  Safe House means allowing players to take a breath, relax, and take a break.

  No matter how invincible the monsters outside are, as long as the player enters the safe house, he can relax and adjust his mental state.

   But in "Dark Forest", the safe house is not safe, because it only allows you to "possibly" survive.

   After evening, players need to rush back to the safe house in time, use the resources collected during the day, turn on the gas furnace, start the generator, close the doors and windows, and then

  Choose a room that is easy to defend, hide in a corner, and wait for the day to come, or a miracle to come

  Because of the forest at night, there will be some 'things' that want to enter the safe house.

  They will emit piercing and terrifying screams outside, affecting the player's San value.

  They will knock on the door, destroy your closed doors and windows, and force their way in to hurt you.

  They will burrow into the house and attack, the door of the room will open inexplicably, and they will also have hallucinations. There are even ghosts who turn off your lights, plunge you into darkness, and enter the house through the wall to attack you.

  Compared to daytime, night is the most fun part of the game.

  Players who experience this game for the first time shiver in a corner at night, not daring to move, praying for safety until dawn.

  Exploring the forest during the day is scary enough, but at night you have to concentrate on avoiding danger in the safe house.

   This is the charm of "Dark Forest".

   And this kind of game, in this barren world of horror, dare not say everything, but it should be able to scare most players and contribute to his fright value.

  So Meng Shu spent the whole day restoring the game in front of the computer.

   When it was after 7pm, he exhaled and stretched.

   After seeing that about 30% of the game content in the first chapter was restored on the computer, he showed a satisfied smile.

  The size of the map in the first chapter is not at the same level as the prologue.

  The prologue is just a hut and a linear road. The whole is an independent area, and players can return to the prologue at the end of the game.

  The first chapter, in terms of size, has three areas.

  Each area has a safe house with a different internal structure, as well as various dilapidated buildings, as well as NPCs and some branches.

  The plot of side missions is also very obscure, and there are different ways to complete them, allowing players to judge and choose by themselves.

   This is also one of Meng Shu's favorite ways to play.

   Another thing I like is that the map will be randomly generated when the player is resurrected.

  For example, the previous resource points will be randomly sent to other places, so you can only find them again, and it is difficult to backboard.

  However, Meng Shu can perfectly restore these game mechanics and gameplay according to the tutorial in his mind, and then present them to players in this parallel world, making them scream again and again.

  After a whole day of production, he has determined that he can complete the game independently, it just takes some time.

  So without hesitation, he posted a live demonstration of the game on the largest video bullet screen in the country.

   Then upload the demo demo that has been localized to the cloud disk, and paste the link in the introduction.

  Finally put the title—

  【Personal development! Real machine demonstration of the domestic horror game "Dark Forest", with a trial demo]

   Then add an introduction:

  ‘You are in a dark forest, you have to search for supplies during the day, and you have to avoid the attacks of terrorist creatures at night, how many days can you survive, and can you finally leave the forest? '

   Then, I chose Publish.

  Looking at the prompt being reviewed, Meng Shu got up and stretched.

  The purpose of sending it to Danmaku.com is to attract attention and gain attention.

   At the same time, a Demo is presented, so that netizens can download it at will and experience it for themselves.

   As for whether he can rely on this to attract investment, he dare not think about it. After all, this is not a black myth, and he does not have a company or a corporate account.

  So sending it out is just to get a certain amount of attention and build a foundation for the finished product.

   After finishing these, his cell phone rang suddenly.

  Pick it up and take a look, it is a V letter from my sister, with a simple sentence on it.

  [Brother, come to my room. ]

  Meng Shu: .

  He frowned, said nothing, left the room and came to his sister's room, and knocked on the door.

   Nothing?

  Meng Shu frowned again, and shouted twice at the door, but there was still no response.

  Is there something wrong?

   You must know that she is recuperating at home because of a broken leg, so there must be something wrong with calling herself over, but there is no response now?

  Meng Shu no longer hesitated, and directly pushed open the old wooden door in front of him.

  Suddenly, a faint fragrance came to the nostrils.

  In the small room, without the lights turned on, Meng Xiaoran was sitting on the bed, wearing a VR, with a smirk at the corner of his mouth, not knowing what he was looking at.

  She has waist-length hair and cool clothes, revealing a pair of fair thighs.

  The right little foot is in a plaster cast and cannot move.

   But it still couldn't stop her left calf from dangling back and forth.

   Seeing this scene, Meng Shu shook his head.

   Fortunately, nothing happened.

   But what are you looking at?

  He knocked on the door, this time, louder than when it was closed.

   Hearing the movement, Meng Xiaoran let out an ah, took off the Bluetooth headset, and opened his mouth without even taking off the VR.

   "Ah! Brother! My parents work overtime tonight, what shall we have for dinner!"

   Before Meng Shu could answer, the younger sister spoke again, speaking very fast.

   "Eat fried rice? Then I want to add two chicken legs."

  Meng Shu: .

   Just for this matter, you called me to your room?

   Wouldn’t it be good to say no directly on the phone?

  Meng Shu shook his head and looked at the younger sister.

   This is the first time he saw her after time travelling.

  In my memory, when this younger sister was in middle school, she was well-behaved and quiet, with a small family.

  But when I came to university, I don’t know if I released my wildness, and I became very naughty and wild.

  Even if my leg is injured, I am not at peace.

  But he is quite sensible. Knowing that the family situation is not good and the economy is tight, he only eats cheap food such as fried rice and fried rice noodles when ordering takeout.

   But it’s not.

   You can't eat too much takeaway, so Meng Shu decided to show her off and let her appetize.

   "Let me cook tonight."

  Meng Xiaoran was taken aback for a moment, quickly took off the VR, and looked at his brother in surprise.

   "Brother, when will you be able to cook?"

   Seeing the surprised expression of the girl in front of him, Meng Shu smiled.

   "Always will. I won't eat takeaway today. Let's eat at home. It's clean and hygienic."

  Meng Xiaoran watched his elder brother turn and leave in astonishment, with a look of disbelief on his face, but more worry and fear.

because

  Can I eat it?
