It's the middle of October at this time. In the next more than a month, I haven't heard that there will be any more classic games developed by big factories to be sold. If not by accident, it is certain that doomsday will win the game of the year award.

However, it is not only this that makes the whole game circle shocked, but also how many games will Chen Mo be shortlisted for the annual game competition?

Last year, Chen Mo won the honor of the game of the year by virtue of the excellent level design, world outlook, plot and difficulty of soul of darkness, which also made thunder mutual entertainment awarded the title of "dark god factory". Many people in the game circle thought that he would continue this style and carry forward it, and continue to dig deep into similar hard core games.

However, Chen Mo is on a completely different path.

Mysteries redefines the type of adventure game, while doomsday redefines the eschatological theme.

Obviously, even compared with the most excellent works of this year, mysteries sea area has an advantage with a high score of 9 points. Moreover, the full score of doomsday of America is that people block killing and Buddha block killing.

The most terrible thing is not only these two games, but also the popularity of one game is higher than both of them. That is "survival of the Jedi".

After the launch of the international service of "survival of the Jedi", the popularity of this game is on the rise, and the share of VR game cabin is constantly refreshing people's cognition. On the VR platform, the momentum of "Jedi survival" is absolutely unstoppable. If there is no other more powerful black horse to step in, it is likely that "Jedi survival" will reach the popularity of "League of heroes" on the PC side in the VR field.

Even Jedi's mobile game has topped the best-selling list of more than 130 countries and regions, and it's just around the corner.

It is said that in some foreign campuses, students' obsession with "survival of the Jedi" mobile games has affected the normal curriculum, and some schools' WiFi has even blocked "survival of the Jedi". The popularity of this game can be seen.

Originally, the designers of traditional games didn't pay much attention to "Jedi survival", because this is a game that is not related to "game of the year" in any way, and no matter how hot it is, it has nothing to do with them.

But after that heat, no one can ignore it.

"Popularity" will also be an important factor in game evaluation of major game media. Like "survival of the Jedi" has reached this level, even if it can't get the game of the year, it is likely to get a nomination for the game of the year.

Generally speaking, the selection rules of major game media are different. The number of nominations for the best game of the year varies from five or six to more than ten. As long as the game is produced this year, as long as the score is good (above 8.5 points), it has the opportunity to win the annual game nomination.

After all, there's only one best game of the year. The others are running with you. It's a bit too much to make a good game and not even run with you.

But this year is a little special, because "the end of America", "the sea of mystery" and "survival of the Jedi" are almost certain to enter the annual game nomination, the first two are high scores, and "survival of the Jedi" is because of the popularity explosion.

That is to say, not counting the little game "seaside mansion", Chen Mo developed three major works this year, and then all of them were nominated for the game of the year

This is the real horror

In the game industry, there are many high-yield designers and stable quality designers, but high-yield and stable quality at the same time, which is terrible.

Many people in the industry are guessing that this year will be the year when Chen Mo and thunder really rise. Maybe in the future, Chen Mo will start a game era that belongs to his own rule, and even reach the height that those traditional big factories can't reach!

……

As the popularity of "the end of America" continues to ferment, the connotation of this game has been more and more explored.

The players seem to go back to the interesting experience of inferring the whole story through prop descriptions in the dark soul a year ago.

Of course, the story of American doomsday is very complete and smooth, but there are still many small puzzles waiting for players to explore. These puzzles may be about a certain character, the whole story background, or the story happened in a certain place.

And these little puzzles further enrich and perfect the world view of American doomsday, and make it a unique eschatological world.

For example, in a certain room, Ellie saw a person who committed suicide in the bathtub, saying that he could not stand this kind of life, so she chose a more relaxed way of relief. But joel said, "believe me, it's not easy. It's much better to be killed by a zombie or to be shot and killed.". In other words, in the past 20 years, Joel, who suffered from the loss of his daughter, tried to commit suicide, but finally chose to survive.

For example, the black brother wanted a toy, but his brother stopped, and Ellie helped the black brother bring the toy. After the death of her black brother, Allie took the toy with her in her backpack. Other collections included letters from her mother and a firefly dog tag from her good friend Riley.For example, in the beginning of the plot, when Joel approaches two passers-by, one of the passers-by challenges him, and the other passer-by apologizes to Joel in a hurry. After Joel goes far, the apologist asks his companion, "are you crazy? Do you know who that guy is? " It can also be seen from the side that Joel is a guy that many people are extremely afraid of when he is a stowaway.

Including in the hunter towns where cannibals are found, the places where these people burn their bodies, where they discard their clothes, and the "harvest list" of each batch, the detailed records of how many people are injured at intervals are available.

In the purchase records of firefly lab, there is even a joke about Halloween. On Halloween, the purchase list is 50000 werewolves, which also marks halloween happy.

These seemingly inconspicuous puzzles and details fill the whole game all the time. Players can always find many interesting gadgets, or a note, or an identity card, or a tape in the corner. These small details also make the world of the end of the United States more complete and real. Players seem to be able to use Joel and Ellie's experience, see the life of every supporting actor.

Many players are lamenting that this is the real zombie theme, this is the real end of the world!

Those games that made the end of the world just to let the players suddenly and wantonly kill in the game were firmly and practically educated by the end of America.
