Chapter 47 Hot discussion between players and the industry

In the early morning of October 31, Chen Xu uploaded the video recorded in advance on his official blog on time.

At the same time, a message was also sent: Guess what the new game is?

Although it was early morning, I have to talk about this time point. Among the players who follow Chen Xu’s official blog, there are still many night owls.

As soon as this message was sent, it attracted the attention of some players not long after.

‘What’s going on? Look at what I found? Chen Xu has a new game?’

‘I’ll go and post the news in the early morning. Isn’t that so much time?’

‘My God, what kind of video is this! I thought it was good for the big night post!’

‘Wait, what the hell is this video! Horror game?’

‘Damn, this dv is in the dark!’

‘So for the next game, Chen Xu wants to make a horror game?’

‘I don’t care much about horror games. The key is this time point, it’s too dark!?’

‘So the next game is related to the dv?’

Many players were stunned.

After all, Chen Xu's intentions can be said to be very obvious. This very underworld video clearly tells players that the next new work is a horror game.

However, what players even more discuss is the news released at this point in time.

The next day, Chen Xu's official blog triggered a lot of forwarding and reporting from the media.

After all, Chen Xu was a little more popular for winning the first prize in travel for "Going to the Moon".

Next is November, and there are no masterpieces worth talking about on the market for the time being.

As for Chen Xu's video, players also discussed and analyzed what theme the new game would be.

After all, even a horror game still has themes.

‘There is a dv and it seems to be an indoor office, it should look like a modern background.’

‘What are you shooting with a hand-held DVD? But the whole video is extremely quiet. The room in the video is very chaotic. So we can boldly guess whether it is necessary to use a DVD to see it?’

‘Walking in the dark corridor and room with a dv in hand, a grimace appeared in the dv picture, and then pulled the photographer into the dark abyss!’

‘mmp, a group of drama artists, nothing, can we analyze it randomly? I was so cold all over when I watched it in broad daylight!

'You are too timid, so that won't work? I advise you to wear diapers when playing or watching.'

‘It’s really a husky. I saw it in the early morning last night and didn’t reveal anything. As a result, I scared myself to feel someone under the bed and I was silenced for half a night.’

Players online are talking about it, but basically they all make random analysis. After all, Chen Xu's video is just to suggest that the player is the next work is a horror game.

But what type is it, it has not been disclosed.

It is also not just players, but also in the industry designer group and the media.

‘Have you heard of it? Chen Xu’s new work turned out to be a horror game!’

‘It was a bit unexpected. I didn’t expect Chen Xu to choose a horror game to buy it.’

‘But it’s not too surprising. For small teams and independent game designers, horror games are also a relatively easy entry point.’

‘Small team? Chen Xu is not a small team. Haven’t you read the introduction of Nebula Games? Chen Xu’s team is not too small.’

‘It’s normal, after all, both “Under the Legend” and “Going to the Moon” sell well.’

‘But horror games are still relatively niche. Not to mention domestic, even abroad, there seems to be no excellent horror games, right?’

‘Yes, although it feels like VR is more in line with horror games, the market and cost are another big problem.’

‘I think Chen Xu’s horror game may be like selling dog meat with a sheep’s head.”

‘How to say it?’

'When you watch "Going to the Moon" and "Under the Legend", it is obvious that Chen Xu is a relatively good storyteller, so is it possible that this so-called horror game is more about a layer of horror skin and then telling a warm story?'

'That seems to be impossible. After all, didn't Chen Xu say that he was a soldier he loved before?'

‘It makes sense!’

The designers in the game industry are discussing the news about Chen Xu and his new work.

However, for all game self-media that pursues traffic, there is a little bit of demons dancing around.

"What does Chen Xu mean to release a weird video late at night?"

"From warm to horror? Designer Chen Xu switched to horror games!"

"Give up your field of expertise and try unpopular horror games, be confident or blind?"

…………

Reports are flooded on various websites and forums.

Some larger media websites can still remain neutral.

But for some marketing accounts and second- and third-tier mini-game media, they are all kinds of rhythms.

It is mainly derived from the game type chosen by Chen Xu.

After all, the industry has not released an excellent horror game for many years.

The entire horror game industry is said to be a stagnant pool, but it does not have much vitality.

Some horror games that are selling well on the market are basically all IP series, and their sales are also continuing to decline every year.

The types of horror games are also all kinds of strange things.

Domestic zombies and female ghost themes.

A murderer abroad, a devilish theme.

Realistic, surreal.

It can be said that there are all kinds of them.

But nothing can be sold well.

The main reason is that these horror games have not jumped out of the circle.

It still uses a compact mode of scare, shooting, and plot.

It’s not that this model is not good, but it’s really difficult to do a wonderful job.

In so many games that combine gunfights and horror in their previous lives, how many can leave their names?

There is nothing more than "Resident Evil" and "Death Space", and the former can still be considered first-line IPs, while the latter is dead until many years later, and then I took it out and fryed it.

However, for Chen Xu and the entire Nebula Games team, these topics on the Internet have little impact.

Because the development progress of the entire game can be said to be growing visible to the naked eye.

Although the game is not complete, you can also experience some of the previous content.

After the experience, Yang Xin, Ruan Ningxue, and others in the team all had one idea.

That's... this is absolutely not allowed to play at night!

There is no way, it's too scary.

Even if everyone is involved in the game development, everyone is working together to develop each point.
Chapter completed!
