Chapter 1 A world where the horror genre is very backward
[Sorry, due to your lack of experience, the company leaders believe that you are temporarily not qualified for the role of character animation. I hope you can find a suitable job. Goodbye]
[Sorry, our company only recruits action designers with more than five years of experience. You are not satisfied yet, sorry]
[The person in charge looked at your resume and thinks you have a promising future, but the position is currently filled. I’m really sorry, please forgive me]
[Read but not replied]
[Read but not replied]
[Read but not replied]
Meng Shu sat on the window edge, looked at his phone, sneered, and spoke softly in a slightly mocking tone.
"Meng Shu, Meng Shu, you are just like me when I first started my business. You are running into obstacles everywhere and no one accepts you."
As he spoke, he picked up a can of happy water on the countertop, raised his head and took two sips.
This self-talk may sound strange to other people, but to Meng Shu, it is normal.
Because he is not the real Meng Shu, but a game producer named Qin Xuan who traveled through time three hours ago.
After getting over the initial doubts and confusion, he slowly accepted his new identity.
The words just now were spoken by the producer to Meng Shu, who no longer exists.
Even though only he can hear it.
He drank two sips of happy water again, turned around and looked at the room.
Now this new family is living a relatively difficult life, not even meeting the standards of a well-off society. The houses are rented from old private houses, the kind that cost 800 a month.
My father is a water deliveryman, the type of manual worker who delivers barrels of pure water every day.
My mother was a dishwasher, washing countless dishes by hand in the back kitchen of a restaurant.
He also has a sister who is a sophomore in college. She was hit by a drunken motorcycle outside the school and suffered a broken leg. She is now recuperating at home.
Since the perpetrator could not afford the money, the huge treatment fees and early hospitalization fees made the two parents miserable. It also made Meng Shu, who had just graduated, eager to find a job to relieve the pressure at home.
It can be said that the situation of this family is not optimistic.
Really need money!
Looking at the rejection message from HR on his phone, he showed no emotion.
He just shook his head, raised his head and drank two sips of happy water, looked out the window at the narrow alley, and sighed.
"It's not a big deal if I get rejected for a job. I can make a fortune from scratch. I can do the same if I change my identity and the world."
Meng Shu has completely accepted the new world and new life, and he finds the Chinese country here very interesting.
Let alone computers, I didn’t expect that even VR would become popular!
And the development in all aspects is similar to that of the original world. The difference is that the great celebrities of the previous life do not exist in this world.
In the same way, those well-known works are not available either.
And this parallel world is a bit scientific.
Because the development of horror-related things is very backward.
Whether it's horror movies, horror novels, horror games, horror music, etc.
Anything that is scary has a very low level in this world.
So much so that the word horror has become another way of expressing shock.
Such as: This is so shocking.
Becomes: This is too scary.
Therefore, in this world, horror is not called horror, but horror.
And all thriller works appear to be "petty".
It's not scary, it's boring, it's even funny and romantic.
In addition, the audience is not popular, the subject matter is poor, there is no creativity, and the plot is single, so no one is paying attention to it, resulting in the development of horror-related content is extremely slow, and even has a tendency to stagnate.
Not to mention the variety of scary techniques and creative techniques in the original world.
In this world, there is nothing.
There is suspense, but it's very childish, and it's obviously just starting out.
Detective Conan would most likely be very popular in this world.
However, although VR has been developed and popularized, computers are still the mainstream.
VR is mainly used in the film and television industry and real simulation.
For example, simulated driving and watching TV dramas in VR give people the most direct personal experience.
There are VR games, you can count them on one finger, and they are produced by big companies, but the quality is shoddy and no one wants to play them.
At the very least, the quality is not as good as the original World VR game, and it can even be said that it is not even qualified for comparison.
This has resulted in games that are still popular on computers and consoles, with gun, car and ball accounting for the vast majority.
"VR?"
Meng Shu glanced at a head-mounted device on the computer table. It had a simple shape, blue light flowing, and a sense of technology.
Although the family's economy is not optimistic, these common things are still available.
He had just experienced it and tried an extremely crude simulated driving.
Apart from vibration feedback, there is no other physical sensation.
This aspect is the same as VR in the original world.
It's a pity that there are no suitable games to entertain him.
[Ding! The simple game development system has been activated]
【You have a novice gift pack, do you want to open it? 】
Meng Shu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became excited!
The ancient and unwavering heart in my heart also became active with this mechanical sound.
Is this my golden finger? Sure enough, it is standard for time travellers.
Simple game development system.
Is it easier to help me start from scratch?
"This is not bad. At the very least, it can speed up the progress of making money in this world and make this family better."
"It also comes with a gift pack for newbies. I'm really looking forward to the content inside. I hope it's good stuff."
Meng Shu silently opened it in his heart.
The next second, a mechanical sound sounded.
[You have gained 500 fright points]
[You get a panel with main attributes +60]
[You get a game development engine that even a monkey can use]
[You have obtained a step-by-step development tutorial for the horror game "Dark Forest"]
[You get the concept design and promotional CG of the horror game "Dark Forest"]
[You have obtained all the art resources of the horror game "Dark Forest" (only available in the novice gift pack)]
[You have obtained the prologue demo of the horror game "Dark Forest" (only available in the novice gift pack)]
[You have obtained all the original soundtrack compositions of the horror game "Dark Forest" (only available in the novice gift pack)]
[You have obtained the first-person VR version production method of the horror game "Dark Forest"]
"Dark Forest?"
Seeing this large queue, Meng Shu's eyes widened slightly, a little surprised and a little happy.
Then, he closed his eyes.
Suddenly, a lot of professional knowledge came to my mind.
There is also a very simple properties panel.
Planning: 60 (general)
Program: 60 (general)
Art: 60 (general)
Music: 60 (general)
Total fright value: 500
I see
Meng Shu, who had been silent for a few minutes, understood the function of this system.
To put it simply, this simple game development system contains a mall that contains step-by-step production tutorials for all games in the original world.
From AAA games to pixel games, basically anything that can be called a video game, this system has it all.
However, these games require a currency called scare value to be purchased.
As for the fright value, the game needs to be created to stimulate the players and make them produce this kind of frightening emotion.
A frightened player will generate a fright value of 1 point, which will not stop and can be generated repeatedly.
As long as the player can be scared!
Generally speaking, it's not bad. Although the 1:1 ratio is relatively small, if the same game can reproduce the same person repeatedly, it will always accumulate.
"Scare value."
Meng Shu pondered for a moment and sat on the computer chair.
If there is any game that can scare players, it has to be horror games.
There are many horror games in the original world, and many of them are high-quality works.
There were even some horror games that scared even him.
If these scary games were restored in this world, considering the backward level of horror here, the fright value would be endless.
The fundamental reason why this parallel world is terrifying and backward is that it has no creativity and skills. Over time, no one is willing to dig deeper.
In this case
If I don’t enter such a good blank market, wouldn’t I be sorry for the system?
It's just that the trial demo, art resources and original soundtrack are only available in the novice gift pack. Games purchased with fright value in the future will not have these three items, which is a great pity.
But what he didn't expect was that the first horror game given in the novice gift pack would be "Dark Forest"!
It turns out that as a game producer, he has naturally heard of this game, played it, and passed it.
In this regard, Meng Shu’s evaluation of "Dark Forest" is:
A small-scale game that allows people to experience "top level depression" and "trembling fear".
