Developing Soulslike Games and Breaking Players' Comfort Zones

Su Ming transmigrated to a parallel world and discovered that its games were still stuck at the level they had been at more than a decade ago.

There were Tencent's CrossFire, Dungeon Fighter Online, QQ Speed, and League of Legends; NetEase's Fantasy Westward Journey; and Blizzard's StarCraft, Warcraft, and World of Warcraft.

Other than those, there were only a bunch of cash-grab reskins.

Players had long since grown numb, playing the same dozen or so games over and over for more than ten years.

Gradually, gaming had shifted from valuing skill to valuing spending. Money had come to crush every display of skill.

Everyone had suffered from pay-to-win games for far too long.

Then Su Ming obtained the "Art of Torturous Gaming System."

It contained all sorts of masterpieces from his previous life, including Dark Souls, Sekiro, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, The Witcher, Assassin's Creed, and Red Dead Redemption.

"I'm going to bring back the excitement of skill-based games! I'm going to show everyone here what true art is!"

Then he released his first game: Bloodborne.

The first to try it was Zhou Jie. One moment, she was boasting that she could beat it in half an hour by paying to win; the next, a bonfire had scared her half to death!
