Crab OG author : 喝一杯红酒 OG title : 游戏制作：从治愈玩家开始 Chen Xu travelled to a parallel world and was surprised to find that many classic and excellent games from his previous life were missing. I had a plan, but why did I get an 'emotion collection system', and the emotions such as happiness, sadness, excitement, fear, anger and other emotions provided by players who have played the games I made can make me stronger? But why is it so much easier to get anger than happiness? Looking at his score, Chen Xu expressed his confusion. As a result, Chen Xu's career as a game designer gradually took a turn for the worse. In Undertale, countless players pounded the table and screamed: I was cheated by this game! In Outlast, countless players screamed, my cabinet moved and I stopped playing.

Soap, Alex and Ghost were sacrificed in Call of Duty; Zack and Aerith were killed in Final Fantasy 7; Arthur and John were betrayed in Red Dead Redemption; Countless players went berserk: "You bastards! Can't we be kinder to the protagonists? Q: How do you feel about the players' anger towards you? Facing the reporter's question, Chen Xu smiled slightly: This isn’t criticism, this is encouragement from players around the world to me, this is love! Thank you all, I will keep up the good work!

When the clever and quirky Harlow Okino woke up in a strange world, the first thing she thought was, "Man, sinkholes suck!" remembering how she fell into the strange pitch-black hole. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What the heck is that!?" I exclaimed while frantically fleeing from creatures that seemed straight from a horror movie. People were fleeing and shouting like I was, and there seemed to be quite a few of them. The sound they made was unsettling and nothing like the screams you hear in movies. They were real, and everything happening was not a poorly-written movie plot. The sight of a lady falling caused my breath to catch as my stomach dropped. The realization written all over her face was horror. She knew. I knew. It was only for a split second that I took my focus away from the lady when I saw that a scaly monster was slinking up to her, its claws drawn and ready to slice. And it did. Its physique reminded me of Blue, the velociraptor from Jurassic World, albeit without the hawk's head or the possibility of a human-friendly disposition. This is not happening! I tried to reason that everything was just a nightmare from all the gory movies I'd watched, yet I knew in my gut that this was real. Somehow, giant monsters were out to get us! A piercing, non-human shriek alarmed me. I knew it had to be from one of the things that were closing in on us. And sure enough, after a daring peek in mid run, I saw that I was being pursued by yet another enormous monster. Its humanoid body, coupled with its black fur and sharp teeth, got me gulping from fear. I never imagined myself as a happy human meal for giant lizards and furry titans, and I want it to stay unimagined and unreal. With that in mind, I set out to prove that I could outrun even Usain Bolt if it meant I'd stay alive. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transported to a world that seemed filled with monsters that are aiming to make a snack of her, Harlow and her newfound party fight their way through all of it, all for the sake of finding a way back to Earth. Love story? We also sorta kinda have it here, too! "Have you ever watched Titanic?" Harlow asked the pretty Japanese boy beside her. He replied with a look that said that it wasn't the time to be asking him that. Harlow looked back and saw that their pursuers were getting closer. "Well, if you did, you'd know this line." "I jump, you jump," she said as she suddenly grasped Akari's hand, shooting an unrecognizable feeling into the young man's chest, which was sourly interrupted by the next move she made. Without any warning, she jumped into the waterfall in front of them. While falling, he saw her eyes gleaming with certainty that they'd make it. Right then, he knew if anyone was going to make it through this world, she definitely would be one of the contenders.
