"Cooking power to govern the country, is this really no problem?"

"The boss's request, this must be paid attention to. ”

Ryutaro looked at the chat log in silence.

After talking to them, Mori Xia hopes that they will give them some opinions the next day, and then let them share their thoughts as well.

As the new back-up man who was promoted...... Phew, it's the producer, and Ryutaro is still very concerned about the first task assigned by the boss.

It's hard to say exactly what to do.

But the boss's request must be done.

For example, the boss uses the "idol route" as an analogy.

Although the other party said "just an example", in the eyes of his subordinates, the boss used this example, which is basically to engage in this direction, at least this model must be wanted.

Is it really okay to govern the country with kitchen power or something?

Ryutaro fell into deep thought.

"Why not?"

Next to Ryutaro is Ichiro Kuroshima.

The previous "middle management" Ichiro Kuroshima has been promoted at this moment.

Now Ichiro Kuroshima manages more of the plans of each production team, setting the direction for everyone's path, rather than just a game.

However, this game was set by Mori Natsu, so Ichiro Kuroshima was also on the side to guide the newcomer Ryutaro.

"According to the outline of the first edition, all in all, idols are not impossible. Look, in such a futuristic society, wouldn't it be wonderful if people had a national idol who could express their feelings?"

Mud bombardment is a country of idols, and the idol culture and cooking culture in this country are unimaginable to people in other places.

Ichiro Kuroshima can't be considered an idol chef, but as soon as he heard that the game had an idol route, he ignited.

The reason is simple, this thing has hit itself.

- And that's what Mori Xia thinks!

At least that's what Ichiro Kuroshima sees.

"There's nothing wrong with that. When shaping the story, we portray the protagonist as a hero, which is actually similar to an idol......"

Ryutaro thought about it and thought it was really good.

"Yes, yes, yes. Ichiro Kuroshima smiled with satisfaction.

The engine of "Lelouch the Rebel" still has a lot of potential to be explored, and it is possible to make a new game a little more free.

"In the case of the course, I design three ...... No, it's okay with four of them. Ryutaro began to ponder, "Of course, this is the main gameplay divergence, and in addition, there can be a relatively small gameplay divergence, similar to a subclass or something. ”

The gameplay of "subclass" has been carried forward in games such as Sword Art Online, and Ryutaro naturally thought of this part.

"The general strategic route, the idol route, the merchant route, and the scientific research route. ”

What about the follow-up, at least the first version is to do it according to the boss's instructions.

"According to Senxia's requirements, we should have many forces in the game, rather than the confrontation between Earth and Mars as in the script. In that case, we should perhaps adopt another strategy, which is to divide the forces more carefully. For example, the orbital knights of Mars, each knight has a faction, and in this way, the forces on this side of the earth can also be separated......"

If concepts like Earth and Mars are too big, then break them up.

This also makes sense, because in the game, these Orbital Riders are full of contradictions.

"The game also needs to be distinctive, and the Martian side is naturally those special mechas, and the earth is so ...... Population, resources, and resources?"

The game needs to be balanced, but the numbers or something, that's something later. And the two of them are more concerned about the characteristics of the game forces.

"That's pretty much it, specifically, in fact, each force has its own characteristics, but we're here for the time being. "Kuroshima Ichiro feels that each faction needs to have its own characteristics, so that people will like to play.

"In terms of strategic line, in addition to the general forces, I think we also need to have that kind of concept like a guerrilla or a corps. Senior, Ina Fan belonged to the earth in the early part of the story, but later, he obviously became a force, but at the beginning, he had no base. ”

"I happened to have it in the bookcase, so I brought it to you. ”

Ichiro Kuroshima handed Ryutaro a book.

"Is this ......?chang......"

"Well, when I went on a trip, I saw it next door, and there happened to be a lot of translated versions in China, and I bought it when I came back. Kuroshima said, "Oh, I have a whole set over there, and I think I might be able to use it." ”

"Yes. Thank you so much. ”

Ryutaro is like a treasure.

He held the book in his hand and felt that his whole soul had been purified.

"Although it is a little close to the Three Kingdoms and Nobunaga, it is still different after all, and the foreign "Home" and "StarCraft" series, I suggest you try it, there are a lot of very good sci-fi concepts in it. In addition, the combat part I feel closer to the "Full War" series, and I have it there. The design of the double-layer map, the concept is closer to the "Three Kingdoms", you should have tried this, almost that's it. ”

The game's battles are divided into two parts, the first part is the strategy map, and the second layer is the tactical and combat part.

"Hmmm......"

Ryutaro fell silent at this time.

"What's wrong?"

Ichiro Kuroshima asked.

"I'm wondering if we can bring the perspective of the characters closer, rather than this kind of substitution of the strategic battle flag. In this way, the separation between the strategic route and the idol route is too great, and it feels like it can be turned into two games. ”

Ryutaro has a point.

“...... So what do you do?" asked Ichiro Kuroshima curiously.

"The way MUV fights is good, but not everyone can accept it. I was thinking that we could fix the perspective to a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective, whether it's a character or a mech. And then in terms of game operations, we simplified some operations and then added a chain of command. ”

Hearing Ryutaro's words, Kuroshima Ichiro also felt that it seemed interesting, so after listening to him, he continued: "When the player is an idol route, you can stand on the stage from this perspective, and when the player is a strategic route, you can also sit in a robot and stand on the battlefield." ”

"Reinforce the logic of individual interactions...... This will be closer to an RPG. However, it is also possible for players to drive strategy through tactics. And in that case, some of the battles might be really interesting......"

According to Sen Xia, one of the big attractions of AZ in the animation is that the protagonist uses a mass production machine to abuse a special machine.

However, if there is too much focus on the strategic aspect, this kind of battle is difficult to manifest.

On the contrary, if the player drives the mecha himself and defeats the powerful mecha on the opposite side, then his sense of accomplishment will be very good.

"Well, that's good. Kuroshima nodded.

"But will it be far from the above requirements?" Ryutaro cared about this.

"Hahaha, don't worry about that. Our boss cares about telling a story with the game, and the most important thing is that the gameplay is lively and interesting, so that people can be attracted to the game, and in order to make the game more popular, even if we make some adjustments to the gameplay, there will be no problem. What's more, we haven't established a project yet, so of course we have to try all kinds of plans!"

Reasonable!

Worthy of the seniors!

Ryutaro feels like he's learned a lot of good things since he was promoted.

Now that this is certain, it is much easier to do.

"For now, let's start with the creation of new roles. ”

"The player is a controllable entity, capable of pinching people and modeling. ”

Face pinching is a traditional art of A Society.,Anyway, as long as it's an Animic game.,There's very little game that can't pinch your face.。

At this time, this is naturally needed.

"At the beginning, the player can choose where they are born, and then we can give the player some decision trees. Players can build their own ambitions based on the decision tree. As far as the strategic route is concerned, players can find their own way to form their own team, or they can join a certain faction. ”

The decision tree at the beginning is to help players initially establish their own characters.

Want to go the strategic route?

OK.

Want to join a faction or do it yourself?

On the left is the decision tree for the independent route, and on the right is the decision tree for joining forces.

After deciding what to do, the player can get started.

"Our players will be able to explore on their own on the large map and will be able to enter the city. ”

Ryutaro, who talks eloquently, doesn't know that he is talking and talking, and the content here has a lot of parts that are very close to "Horse and Blade".

But he didn't realize it, he was just telling his thoughts.

"At this time, players will be able to govern their own forces through the strategy panel according to their own needs, and they will also be able to lead troops to fight. ”

"It's the same with the idol route, but the scene of the idol route is not a battle, but a stage ......"

Naturally, idols can't just be active in one city, so they also need to move around, maybe they don't need to fight, but for the sake of popularity, they still have to hold concerts everywhere or something.

In addition, businessmen are better to do, but whether they are manufacturing tycoons or financial emperors depends on this.

The scientific research route is not easy to understand. Anyway, Ryutaro didn't think about it, and Ichiro Kuroshima over there was also confused.

"It's hard to design. That's it for now. Just ask when you wait for feedback. "Ichiro Kuroshima is also right.

Scientific research or something, but there are also a lot of practices, similar to the alchemist's workshop and the like, and it can even be the kind of pure cultivation, but it doesn't seem convenient to join this game.

If you can't figure it out, you can't force it.

So Ryutaro finally sorted out the previous content and sent an email to Mori Xia.

“...... Huh? What the hell...... A sci-fi version of riding and chopping?"

The next morning, Senxia saw the email.

In order not to wake up Xiao Tou, after he woke up, he quietly came to the study and began to watch alone.

Mori Xia doesn't know about other places, but after Ryutaro adjusts, the RPG atmosphere of the whole story has been strengthened a lot, and Ryutaro's design for the battle side is ...... It does have the flavor of "Riding and Chopping".

Not to mention, after thinking about it, Mori Xia found that it was really interesting.

"But they really like idols, I just casually gave an example, they actually do a lot of work in this area......"

Mori Xia's use of idols as an example is just an accident.

However, Ryutaro seems to be quite rare here, so he also made a special route like this.

If you want to become an idol, you need popularity value, and idols have a variety of ways to play depending on their country.

Some idols can even forcibly change a country's strategy through decision-making, and even later, they can join the strategic model with the influence of their idols, and govern the country with fans at the beginning.

"Hey, hey, it's too much to rule the country with cooking power, right?"

I know you like idols, but I never thought you would like them so much.

Proper kitchen power to govern the country is a real hammer!

"But Her Royal Highness the princess sings about the forbidden borders while managing a country...... Well...... Although it feels a bit strange, it's not unacceptable?"

The merchant route after that was more traditional, but the design ideas were just as dedicated. Merchants can take the industrial and financial routes, or they can choose between producing their own and acting as an agent.

"Hmm...... Very good. ”

After expanding the story to "people", the clearest thing is not only that, but also the most interesting relationship between the players.

For example, if you become a businessman, you can influence the country in a number of ways.

If you become an idol, you can even be ...... by unspoken rules Ahem, this one doesn't work, we're not 18 yet......

Of course, if it's a "mod" of a "third party", then it's a different story~

But Ryutaro did inspire Mori Xia a lot.

This kind of interaction, Mori Xia has seen in "Crusader King" and "Thor", but Ryutaro obviously has his own set of plans, which makes the relationship between players and players progressive, more similar to galgame. But the difficulty of the "Raiders" will be greatly reduced.,There's a lot of elements in this game.,If you take it out separately here.,It's a bit noisy.。

The richness of the gameplay is to add luster to the game, not to add a burden to the game.

"The fourth is scientific research? Hmm, I didn't expect it, hmm, let's change it. ”

Three routes seem too few.

Four or five routes are about the same. In this regard, Sen Xia also refers to the "Taiko Lizhi Biography" series.

I have to say that Taiko is really a good game......

"But there's no rush for this, and it can be released as a DLC in the future. Let's let them refine and mythologize their ideas first...... Kitchen power...... Well, it's kind of emotional to think about. ”

If you can really govern the country with kitchen power, if it is properly designed...... It must be interesting......
