Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Like Song Ren, there are still many players immersed in The Witcher: Wild Hunt.

Open world games revolve around the two key elements of openness and world.

It can be said that "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" is a standard open world with a strong background, and he is actually not free in terms of gameplay.

But the world view created by the mission plot makes players feel that the world is real.

Various collection tasks and side tasks all imply that what players do will have different effects on the world.

Reference is made to the medieval slum-style architecture of Wellen, and the Western European-style architecture of Novigrad.

All give players a sense of reality.

In the game, the player seems to have really become the white wolf Geralt, but at the same time the player is just a witcher who cannot save the world.

Plus the mission design of the butterfly effect and the tram puzzle.

It makes the world of The Witcher: Wild Hunt seem so real, so believable.

Song Ren in the game came to Novigrad, as if a new world had opened up.

White Orchard is just a small village, not a big one. Although Wei Lun is very large, it is difficult for the people to live because of the war, and the crow den is more like a refugee den.

But Novigrad is different. Although it is located in Redania, Novigrad is not under the jurisdiction of any country, but a neutral seaport free city.

Relying on free trade Novigrad has gathered unimaginable wealth, so the entire city center is also very prosperous, but also because of the economic development, the forces in the city are also complicated.

The headquarters of the Eternal Fire Church is located here, and with the support of Redania, barbecue banquets are staged almost every day in the entire city, but the objects of the barbecue are sorceresses and some non-human races.

However, while Novigrad was collecting clues, White Wolf also met another old acquaintance: Triss, who of course was also a sorceress.

And the other party seems to have had an affair with the white wolf when he lost his memory, but now Triss's attitude is obviously a lot colder.

"So, why are all your old acquaintances, White Wolf, all sorceresses?" Song Ren was stunned when he remembered the night he spent with Kayla in the woods.

However, Triss in front of her is not clear about Ciri's whereabouts, so if you want to inquire about Ciri's whereabouts, White Wolf has to find other people, such as his best friend Dandelion, the romantic poet.

It's just that Dandelion is also missing and his whereabouts are unknown, so White Wolf had to ask for help in Nuocheng's basement.

Except for the Eternal Fire Church, Nuocheng's various industries are controlled by four underground bosses.

It sounded very cool, but Song Ren was speechless after a few tasks.

It is really the image of the industrial cooperation of these underground bosses, especially the place where they met for the first time turned out to be a large bathhouse, which is too distinctive.

The four giants are Di Fatty, the owner of the bathhouse that White Wolf knew, and that is the Quint card character that White Wolf got on the Bloody Duke table before.

The beggar head who reached a cooperation with Triss in the slum, Hawthorne II, the pimp king who controls the whole city's brothels and casinos, and the butcher who looks fierce.

Facing Geralt's request, Fatty Di also put forward a condition, that is, someone has looted his private treasury recently, so he wants Geralt to help him find out who did it.

However, after investigating the white wolf, it was discovered that the person who robbed the vault turned out to be his good friend Dandelion.

According to the clues, the white wolf quickly found Hawthorne II, and got the whereabouts of Dandelion from his mouth. It turned out that Ciri, who came to Novigrad, found Dandelion immediately, and In order to lift a cursed instrument, the two sought help from Hawthorne II, and robbing the treasury was the condition that Hawthorne proposed.

However, the money in the treasury was intercepted by witch hunters, and Hawthorne also turned his face with the two, and Dandelion was directly caught in the boss.

Facing the guy in front of him who had almost hurt Ciri, Song Ren in the game directly chose to hack him to death.

After that, White Wolf and Triss played a bitter trick to rescue Dandelion, but unfortunately Dandelion didn't know where Ciri went, because when he was caught, Ciri used the Space-Time He fled in a close call.

So the clues to Novigrad were also interrupted, leaving only the last location: the Skellige Islands.

But compared to the main storyline, what he saw and heard in Novigrad made Song Ren even more interesting.

The first is that in the entire Novigrad, there are many objects who can play the Gwent card, and there are even the main quest lines that are advanced because of the Gwent card.

For example, a dwarf friend Geralt knew was working on a very precious Gwent card.

At the same time, because of this Gwent card, the people who owned it were looted, which fully demonstrated the madness of people in the world of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" for this card sport.

Of course, in Nuocheng's bank, he found that he could still borrow money. Although he could borrow not much, it gave him a very real feeling.

But it was the two Novigradian shops that made him linger the most.

A shop is located in front of the bridge leading from the port of Novigrad to the Main Square. There are three girls with different styles in it. You can get a relaxing enjoyment for 20 yuan.

There is another one located next to the St. Gregory Bridge. This is a relatively high-end entertainment place. Not only can you play cards on the first floor, but also inhuman races, and experience the happiness brought by elves, but the price is also high. A lot more than 40 bucks.

"This game is so simple! This is "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", this is mad gambling and prostitution!" Song Ren couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Playing Gwent cards with people everywhere to bet, Willen bet on a sorceress Kayla, and in the big city of Novigrad, the white wolf has completely let go of himself!

Triss seems to be a little bit sloppy over there, and then this entertainment place can still be piling.

"Old Zhang, has your game progressed to Novigrad City? There are good things here!" Song Ren connected the voice of his good brother, Lao Zhang, and wanted to share his findings with him.

"Cut, isn't that the two restaurants? I've been there long ago." Zhang Yi's voice came from the voice channel.

"You're awesome, old Zhang, but do you have that much money? Didn't you buy equipment and materials?" Song Ren asked curiously.

Compared with the previous life, Chen Xu developed a lot of money-making content in "The Witcher", and he reconciled it.

Including the follow-up Heshan Bank in blood and wine, there will be a little harmony at that time, and there will be no infinite withdrawal of minions.

So in the early stage of the game, there is still a shortage of money. Song Ren, who has been promoting the main quest, basically uses the money to buy alchemy items and materials. Of course, a lot of them are used to buy Quint cards. In this entertainment venue Although it's not expensive, it's really not worth the money.

"Are you stupid? The save mechanism of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" and "Curse of Blood" are different. Can't you save manually?"

"You save a file before you talk to Fengchen Girl in the game, and then just read the file after the conversation?" Zhang Yi's voice came from the headset.

Hearing what Lao Zhang said, Song Ren was shocked.

"Old Zhang... You are something that a human can do!?"
