Almighty Game Designer Chapter 1154: About the infinite loop of sound
Lin Xue was groping in a dark cave, very scared, but not the kind of scared scared to walk.
Because traditional horror games limit the visual range, the smaller the range, the stronger the player’s sense of horror.
For example, the visible range of a normal person is 300 to 500 meters in an open area. In caves and buildings, due to the limitations of the building itself, this range may become several meters. If it is in the dark, the visible range will be It was shortened to one or two meters again, and it was even completely dark.
Darkness represents unknown and dangerous, so the smaller the visible range, the stronger the fear in the player's heart.
But the difference in this game is that although the surroundings are pitch black, players can see everything around.
It's just this "bat perspective."
On the one hand, darkness strengthens the player’s inner fear, on the other hand, all factors can be seen and alleviate this fear to a certain extent.
So under the superposition of the two feelings, Lin Xue was not so scared.
But this brings about a problem, which is that players become extremely sensitive to the feeling of sound.
As we all know, when people's vision is restricted, their hearing will become sharp. For example, many blind people have far better hearing and touch than normal people.
At this time, Lin Xue was in such a state, with a pitch black all around, with only a lot of white virtual frames. When his vision was limited, his hearing became very sharp.
The cave is very quiet at this time, so every small sound will sting her nerves.
When the protagonist steps onto the metal platform, he will make clear footsteps; when walking in the water, there will be a clatter of water; and the protagonist has to clap, cough, and talk in order to find the way. These sounds It is also particularly obvious in the silent cave.
So there is a problem: if you want to see farther, you have to make a louder voice, but a louder voice will give the player a stronger sense of insecurity.
Put yourself in and think about it. If you walk in a strange, dark environment, you don't know where there will be enemies. Normal people will be careful not to make any noises so as not to be noticed by the enemy.
Yelling in the dark is a way to go against the survival instinct of human beings, but in this game, in order to see everything around him clearly, players have to do this.
The cave is a road with twists and turns, but fortunately, there is no fork in the road, it's a complete road.
But every time she passes a corner or needs to crouch over obstacles, Lin Xue will feel her muscles tighten, and her hairs will stand up.
Walking forward for about two minutes or so, bypassing countless intersections, a sharp cry came from ahead again.
This sound is a bit like a baby cry in a horror movie. It is sharp, high-pitched, and lasts a long time. In such a quiet environment, it is simply spiritual pollution.
What's even worse is that every time this scream comes, the surrounding white virtual frame will be dyed red, giving people a very strong sense of crisis.
Lin Xue was able to judge the location of this monster by the source of the red sound wave, and it was getting closer.
"I feel like I am about to die...but I suddenly understand why this game is called a low-cost horror game. The cost is really low..."
Lin Xue said that she has never seen such a cost-saving game...
Because the main level scenes of this game are this pitch-black environment except for the scene at the beginning of the game, and there is no need to make textures, just use a white line to outline the outline and it's done...
Like other horror games, in order to set off the horrible scenes, very complicated scenes and monsters are often made. All kinds of blood plasma, residual limbs, internal organs and the like are as realistic as possible.
This game is not used at all, all are outlines, but it turns out to be very scary...
Continuing to walk in, Lin Xue finally saw the true face of the monster.
"My God, what is this, it's disgusting, mom, I want to go home..."
Lin Xue didn't dare to speak loudly, watching the terrifying monster from a distance.
The sound is very baby-like, and the appearance is very baby-like. But this is a deformed baby, maintaining the shape of a baby, with a large head, but a height of about 1.5 meters.
Moreover, its head and body are covered with deformed tumors or bulges, and Lin Xue cannot tell what those things are. After all, everything she sees now has only outlines, but anyway, this The sound, appearance, and movements of the monsters only give people a sense of disgust.
This monster was separated from Lin Xue by an iron fence. Lin Xue tried to get around, but she couldn't, because as long as she stopped making sounds, the surrounding area would immediately plunge into darkness.
So, Xue Lin could only continue to move forward while clapping her hands. Every time she clapped her hands, the baby monster would let out a scream, and then ran frantically to search for her location. Fortunately, there was an iron fence. The monster can't make it through.
The clapping and screaming, one after another, complement each other.
After Lin Xue confirmed that the monster could not get through again and again, she resisted the mental pollution of the screams and continued to move forward.
Suddenly, Xue Lin found a female shoe on the ground, but when she bent over to pick it up, the board on the ground suddenly collapsed!
Lin Xue was so scared that she screamed~IndoMTL.com~ and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, this distance is not particularly high, Lin Xue got up and looked up.
It's definitely not going up.
"Well, these are the basic operations of horror games, calm, calm..."
Lin Xue continued to move forward while comforting herself.
But this time she found out that she seemed to have fallen into that baby monster’s lair...
There was no fence separating this time. The baby monster was four or five meters in front of Lin Xue, screaming constantly, emitting red sound waves.
Lin Xue was too panicked. She wanted to take the road on the right to avoid the monsters, but one didn't pay attention and stepped on the puddle.
"Wow! Wow!"
Lin Xue walked in the water very loudly, the baby monster immediately screamed and rushed towards Lin Xue!
Lin Xue was so scared that she screamed, and her position was revealed now. The baby monster jumped up and grabbed Lin Xue's arm!
Xue Lin felt her left hand being grabbed and screamed loudly, but the baby rushed up directly, and then Xue Lin's screen turned completely blood red.
After the resurrection, Lin Xue could still feel her legs trembling constantly.
"Scared me to death...No, this game seems to be stuck in an endless loop. I can't see the way without making a sound, and making a sound will attract monsters, and it will instantly kill me..."
Lin Xue was too panicked. She already understood after she died once. This game is like "Escape". Players have no room for resistance at all, and can only deal with monsters through wisdom.
But, how can the monster be led away?
Lin Xue groped forward cautiously, and suddenly, she saw the stones on the ground.
