Almighty Game Designer Chapter 348: “Critical Reality” Horror Game


Chen Mo nodded: "Well, I know that. However, there are very few people doing horror games in China. For VR games, horror games are not popular games, but their immersion is all games. The best of the types can also fill the gap in the market a little bit."

Qiao Hua pushed his glasses, lost in thought.

Chen Mo said again: "Minister Qiao, this game must be graded. Like "Diablo", you must be an adult to play."

"Moreover, it is necessary to check the player’s physical condition through the VR game cabin before entering the game. People with heart disease and similar diseases cannot play. The player’s physiological indicators must be monitored throughout the game. Once the indicators are abnormal It will be disconnected immediately."

"Currently, there are also some horror games on the VR side in foreign countries. The relevant settings and security measures have been relatively complete. We also follow this standard and there will be no major problems."

Qiao Hua sighed lightly: "Yes, I know that. However, the current attitude of the game committee still discourages such excessively **** and violent games, because such games have certain risks and may It has some subtle effects on people’s psychology."

"Of course, we all know that this kind of influence is actually minimal. Just like watching a horror movie, no one will be psychopathic or even kill or harm people because of watching a horror movie. From my personal point of view, I think Some attempts can be made in this regard, but you have to come up with a set of arguments to convince Chairman Zhang."

Chen Mo thought for a moment: "I have a rhetoric."

Qiao Hua came to some interest: "Talk about it?"

Chen Mo briefly recounted his thoughts.

After listening to this, Qiao Hua frowned and thought for a while: "It seems, it's okay. This is indeed a good reason, but it's hard to say whether you can convince Chairman Zhang, but you can try it."

"Wait here, I will ask Chairman Zhang for instructions. I will call you later."

Qiao Hua walked out of the office quickly and went to the chairman Zhang Zhongxiang.

The situation in the parallel world is different from the situation in the previous life. The review of games has been much relaxed. Moreover, the gaming committee does not have absolute standards on which games can be reviewed and which cannot be reviewed. As to whether a horror game like "Escape" can be reviewed and whether it can be played by the players, it still has to let the chairman Zhang Zhongxiang decide. .

About half an hour later, Qiao Hua came back.

"Come with me, Chairman Zhang is waiting for you. You only have twenty minutes, think about the words, if you can't make it this time, there will probably be no chance in the future." Qiao Hua said.

"I see, Minister Qiao." Chen Mo followed.

Qiao Hua led Chen Mo to Chairman Zhang Zhongxiang's office, knocked on the door and signaled Chen Mo to enter.

In the office, Zhang Zhongxiang is reading this concept draft.

When Chen Mo came in, he pointed to the seat at the desk: "Sit down."

Chen Mo sat down and carefully observed Zhang Zhongxiang's expression.

Zhang Zhongxiang frowned slightly, and it seemed that he was also full of doubts about this concept draft.

Chen Mo stroked the virtual bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand, and silently called up the props and used it.

Zhang Zhongxiang gave a light cough and said, "Chen Mo, I have read your concept draft. This game is a horror game, and there are a lot of blood and violence elements. According to the consistent attitude of the game committee, this The game cannot be reviewed. Because in this highly immersive state of mind, this kind of game will have a certain impact on the player’s mental health."

Chen Mo said: "Chairman Zhang, I don’t think this is necessarily true. First of all, as an adult, the three views have been formed, and a healthy person is experiencing horror movies, horror games and even haunted houses. At that time, they will be frightened."

"At present, horror movies and haunted houses exist in our country, which shows that as long as the horror experience is well controlled, there will be no harm."

"At present, the protection mechanism of foreign horror games is very mature, and there are so many horror games abroad every year. I have never heard of sudden death of players or stimuli that cause harm to society, so , This kind of influence is actually not that serious. In other words, this kind of influence can be completely avoided."

Zhang Zhongxiang frowned: "The main reason is that there is basically no healthy and positive content in the horror game. It is difficult to convince the traditional and conservative members of the game committee."

Chen Mo asked back: "Then Chairman, do you think'criticism' itself is a positive content?"

Zhang Zhongxiang was taken aback: "Criticism?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, it's like an essay criticizing some ugly facts."

Zhang Zhongxiang thought for a while: "It should be counted."

Chen Mo continued: ""Escape" has a spiritual core, and its spiritual core is criticism. In this game, the protagonist, as a reporter with a sense of justice, goes to investigate a mental hospital to expose this Among the crimes."

"The mental hospital is actually a place controlled to conduct terrorist experiments. These large foreign consortia ignore the lives and lives of patients for their own benefit, trample on the law wantonly, and even some upper-class people act as umbrellas for them."

"The player will play the role of this justice reporter~IndoMTL.com~ to expose the criminal behavior under the control of the consortium. This in itself is a critique of ugly facts, and it is also an example of the seemingly beautiful false picture abroad. Kind of disclosure."

Zhang Zhongxiang blinked, and suddenly felt that what Chen Mo said seemed reasonable.

Indeed, if the story background of "Escape" is set in China, it is impossible to pass the trial properly, no doubt.

But what if it is placed abroad? It seems that this is indeed a kind of criticism and disclosure.

Zhang Zhongxiang thought again: "But, this is a completely fictional story."

Chen Mo explained: "Chairman, art comes from life and is higher than life. In the history of the world, are such horrible acts of genocide and extermination rare? The human purgatory shown in Auschwitz It is far more terrifying than what is shown in this game. This concentration camp has always existed, reminding people to always remember that I will make a game to torture humanity. Isn't this a positive and positive thing?"

Zhang Zhongxiang: "..."

He opened the design concept draft of "Escape" and read it from beginning to end.

Since a long time, Zhang Zhongxiang finally nodded: "Well, this game will be reviewed for the time being, but you must remember that the background of the game must not be changed, it must take place abroad. Moreover, you must make a good VR device. Relevant settings ensure that this game will not adversely affect players."

"If the players strongly protest, this game will be taken off the shelves. If it causes a serious social impact, you can't be exempted from responsibility, understand?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Good chairman, I understand!"

The monthly ticket is 2,600, and one chapter is still owed. It is still 125. Let me emphasize that there are three changes every Friday, and I need some time to draw the outline for more than a month.
