Chapter 354 already has the answer
. The boss has been defeated.
The fifth chapter is officially over.
The cutscene is playing.
But Feng Dong has no mood to watch it. He directly pressed the pause button and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
This chapter really shocked him.
There is no foreshadowing in this chapter. He was a little impatient when he started fighting the boss at the beginning. He really felt that the boss was not well designed.
This chapter was a failure.
Then.
When it came to the heroine's perspective, the game used misleading pictures to deliberately conceal the cause, making him think that the heroine escaped from the hero, and that the boss battle was over.
It took him a long time to gradually forget the unpleasant boss battles in the past.
But at this moment.
The bosses of the previous four chapters appeared one by one.
When I heard the heroine say that she wanted to open a bakery.
When I controlled the heroine to hold the bread and walked out the door, I saw the hero wearing a delicate mechanical mask not far away.
When the boss battle was repeated again.
That sense of surprise. It
's really hard to describe.
And the feeling of "so that's it" that rose up immediately afterwards.
It was really refreshing.
The feeling of everything being connected was amazing!
The unpleasantness of fighting the boss before turned into shock at that moment.
It was the first time that Feng Dong saw someone playing narrative tricks so well in the game. It
was simply amazing.
This chapter started with a boss fight and ended with a boss fight. The process, gameplay, and missions did not change.
But the player's emotions were completely turned upside down, and the sense of substitution was directly maximized.
Feng Dong was so excited that he couldn't play the subsequent games.
Because this was really cool!
He really wanted to share it with others and discuss it with others. He
glanced at the paused game, gritted his teeth, and directly switched back to the desktop, and then opened the forum.
There should be many people who have the same idea as me, right?
Feng Dong held this idea and posted a post.
But he still had a bottom line.
He didn't spoil it.
He just said, "The fifth chapter of the witch is really amazing," to express his amazement.
He believed that people who played to this point would definitely feel the same way. Sure
enough.
Not long after the post was posted.
The replies began to surge!
Feng Dong's level is similar to that of ordinary players, and the game unlocking time is the same. There are many players who can't calm down for a long time after finishing the fifth chapter like him.
"Fuck! What the hell did I see! I'm not the only one who thinks the fifth chapter is awesome!"
"Awesome!! This narrative trick starts and ends with the boss battle! It's really shocking to see the male protagonist reappear!"
"Linmu Studio!! You guys are amazing!"
"The previous chapters are also awesome, but I have to say that this chapter directly makes people feel like this is a masterpiece."
"This is a masterpiece! I was dissatisfied with the boss fight in the early stage, but when I pushed the door and saw the male protagonist at the end, my dissatisfaction turned into astonishment. It's really awesome." "
This is also OK!!!!"
"The most important thing is that the game has a logically self-consistent setting! Have you watched the cutscenes later? Xu's superpower is synaesthesia! In addition to being able to copy other people's superpowers, she can also touch the other person to see other people's thoughts and memories or instill her own memories! The reason why we players can control the heroine is because of synaesthesia! Whether to kill her in the end depends entirely on whether you trust her synaesthesia. I believed it! Then she explained this skill to me!! In other words, we players did not leave the original scene throughout this chapter. This is a chapter supported by superpowers! Awesome!!"
"Fuck, don't spoil the plot above!"
"This is the first time I have this feeling playing a game! It's great!"
"Awesome, and let me ask you one more question, do you have a feeling... that the BOSS on the other side is also a player?"
"..."
Feng Dong glanced at the comments, then cursed the person who spoiled the plot, and then saw a comment that he was very interested in.
It was the comment that said that the BOSS on the other side was also a player.
He immediately replied to the comment below that post: "Do you also think that the other side is a player?"
"Yes."
The player who posted the comment was obviously guarding the post and quickly replied to him.
Feng Dong showed an expression of "as expected".
Really... Awesome!
They even use players!
Very quickly.
Perhaps he saw the reply from the author of the post, or perhaps he had the same guess.
More players replied under this comment.
Some people said that the opponent must be a player, and he didn't care about his face... Not only did he use any means, but he also attacked by surprise!
But some players said it was not like that, but they also admitted that the first stage was indeed very difficult to play.
The number of deaths mentioned by some players did not seem to match Feng Dong's.
This made Feng Dong a little strange.
But soon.
He put these questions behind his mind and waited until the game was completed to see if there was any master to explain.
Why bother with all this now!
Chapter 5 is awesome! !
Very quickly.
Feng Dong's post was on the front page. In just ten minutes, there were more than two hundred replies, and the number of replies was still rising, at a very fast speed!
At this moment, no player had yet completed the game.
Just one post saying it was awesome had such a terrifying number of replies.
...
"Ah? So fast?"
Lin Yao shook her ponytail, turned around, and looked at Chen Qiuwen in surprise: "It's not even five o'clock yet, and someone has reached Chapter 5?"
"Well, I saw someone said so on the forum."
Chen Qiuwen nodded with a smile: "This is a normal speed, after all, the first five revenge chapters are shorter, and the later chapters are the highlight."
"That's right... What are the reviews?" Lin Yao hadn't had time to look at the forum.
"Very good! The players were so shocked that they even put the game aside for discussion, and some players even guessed that the opponent might be a player. We succeeded."
Chen Qiuwen looked at Lin Yao and said with some emotion.
This chapter was entirely Lin Yao's idea, including letting players participate in the BOSS battle. He originally thought it was unnecessary to make it so complicated, but Lin Yao insisted on doing so.
Now it seems.
It is indeed worth it.
After all, players are willing to put down the game temporarily, and the effect can be imagined.
"..."
Lin Yao immediately smiled brightly and curved her eyebrows when she heard Chen Qiuwen's words.
The BOSS in the fifth chapter of Witch is set to have two stages. Both the heroine at the beginning and the hero at the end have two stages.
The hero is bound to lose in the first stage and win in the second stage. The heroine is bound
to win in the first stage and lose in the second stage.
In other words, the heroine will lose in this level no matter what.
The only difference is whether the hero kills her in the end.
Because it is a chapter that connects the previous and the next, when Lin Yao first wrote the story, he felt that this setting was too difficult to handle, so he spent a lot of thought on it.
Narrative tricks.
There is also the player playing the BOSS... This is mainly influenced by Dark Souls, and it was specially added for the purpose of enhancing the sense of substitution.
Feng Dong was not wrong. The first stage of the BOSS opposite him may indeed be played by the player.
At the beginning of this level, the system will screen players with similar progress. If there are two players with synchronized processes, they will be automatically matched together in the cutscene CG where the hero and the heroine look at each other.
If not, it will be hosted by the set AI.
The ending will not change.
In the first stage of the heroine, the player will definitely not win. Even if the player controlling the heroine is too bad, or there is a high-level player who really defeats the heroine in the first stage hosted by the AI with bad data, the heroine will also cheat and kill the hero on the opposite side with a big move.
It will be like this no matter what.
Only when the heroine knows that the hero on the opposite side is the little boy of that year through synaesthesia according to the setting and asks this sentence, will it officially enter the second stage.
In this stage, the hero will win no matter what, even if the player controlling the hero is very bad, he can win.
Because the heroine on the opposite side already knows the identity of the hero, she will let him go, and when the hero's health drops to a certain level, she will also add blood.
This is the process of the boss battle in the fifth chapter of the game. It
is precisely because of such a process.
In addition, there is confidence in the number of online players when the game is released.
Lin Yao would want to play some tricks and let the player play the role of the BOSS.
However, this gameplay is fun and immersive, but it requires a lot of technical personnel...
After all, if it is connected to the Internet, it cannot affect the experience of another player.
So Lin Yao also has a trade-off here. The players on the male protagonist's side will not be affected in any way.
But if the player controls the female protagonist, the judgment will be very strict, and even the title page cannot be cut out.
As long as it is cut out, it will be judged to have left, and the female protagonist will be hosted by AI, and the player can only watch the show.
But this problem is not big.
Lin Yao spent so much time on narrative tricks in the past, just to make players feel satisfied at that moment, even if they just watch the show.
Of course.
In the later stage, some stupid players may take advantage of loopholes, and Lin Yao also thought of this, so there are two bottom-level judgments. If the female protagonist is killed in the first stage, the AI host will use a big move to cheat and directly enter the second stage, and the process will remain the same.
If the male protagonist dies five times, the second stage of the female protagonist will be automatically triggered, and the process will remain the same.
These two conditions will not change no matter what. Even if the players discover the rules and want to play tricks, they can only play for a while, because the battle between the hero and the heroine must enter the next stage.
Lin Yao was quite worried at first. Players will feel dissatisfied when they reach the chapter with a fixed BOSS battle.
But what she worried about did not happen, and the players were very satisfied.
So she was really happy.
"Some players have already finished the first half of the game, and I don't know if the first player to beat the game can achieve the true ending."
Chen Qiuwen saw the smile on Lin Yao's face that seemed to heal people's hearts, and his mood suddenly became better...
"It's probably quite difficult. The condition of not killing the witch in Chapter 8 is too difficult to achieve. But even if there is no player in the first round, there will soon be players who will complete it through the second round. The entire game process only takes a dozen hours, so look forward to it."
Lin Yao patted her face and barely restrained her smile.
Don't be too face-to-face.
The game has only been officially unlocked for a few hours...
"Yeah."
Chen Qiuwen nodded.
At this stage, he could only worry about these things.
As for whether the game would be successful?
No need.
Now there is an answer.
