Although the matter on Sony's side remains to be discussed, there is another matter that Senxia has to deal with. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

――That's the reply from Mr. Nidaime.

The second generation teacher agreed to the request of the Senxia DW Club and promised to help them make the game script.

After all, it is a niche, so Sen Xia and Qianjia did not have hope at first.

But upon learning the news, both were ecstatic.

The world's first 18x online game has taken its most crucial step.

"What about mods, etc.,I asked them after I got Sony's files.,And it turned out that it's not allowed at all.。 And PS2 is not expected to have a hard disk or anything, so we don't have to think about scalability or anything like that for our games on PS. Our main game platform is still PC, and it doesn't matter if the platform with a high degree of freedom is placed on DC, PS2 is a must, but most of the time, this platform is a supplement. ”

The previous topic, Senxia ended with this sentence, which can be regarded as the end of the problem on Sony's side.

"The second generation teacher said that the script and setting will be given today, so I'll go to the mailbox to see it first. After discussing Sony, Senxia opened the mailbox.

Sure enough, the message of the second generation teacher has been sent at this time.

This is a story about the world setting and the main axis of the plot.

Because you want to use the background of the fantasy world, the second generation teacher directly set up a fantasy new world.

In this world, humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, dragons, undead, monsters, and other creatures all exist here.

Looking at the future of the 21st century, this kind of setting is simply too classic to be a classic design, especially for lovers of online novels, this super traditional setting is simply too familiar to be familiar.

But because it is a classic, and because it is easy to use, there are many people who use it.

For example, in cultivating immortals, there are always "classic" settings such as Qi training, Jin Dan, and Yuan Ying, this kind of thing is mature and easy to use, so there are many people who use it.

Humans, orcs, elves and so on, not only appear in novels, but also in animation, but also in games, what World of Warcraft, what fierce battles, what Rhodes Island Wars, anyway. But for now, this setting is actually not very perfect.

Mori Xia originally thought that the second generation teacher would make a world view setting that was very convenient for the work and the topple, but he never expected that the second generation teacher would make a normal setting.

In the setting, I don't feel the breath of a gentleman at all, on the contrary, an atmospheric and detailed and rich world is rushing towards me.

It's a great feeling.

Senxia has to admit that in this era, such a setting is really beyond his imagination.

In the plot, the world view seems to borrow from the story of Cthulhu, the whole world is in the dream of the supreme god Azathoth, the supreme god of foolishness who has fallen into eternal madness, and this world is the 'true dream' of the other party, symbolizing order and reason, but chaos and darkness always appear inadvertently.

Of course, this kind of background setting is probably just a reference, and the second generation teacher does not plan to move the entire Cthulhu over.

In the script, the whole world is probably composed of two continents, of which the new continent is a chaotic land without intelligent life, and the other continent is the main stage for the development of the script and the story.

In addition to the real world, there are many chaotic worlds in this setting, and those chaotic worlds are chaotic and dark.

The plot setting of the entire world view is enough to surprise and delight many setting parties, but this is just the beginning.

In order to illustrate the whole story, the second generation teacher also made a simple drawing and put it in the setting.

"I feel like the worldview is very good, but there are some things that I think need to be corrected......" After seeing this background, Qianjia thought it seemed quite interesting.

"Yes, but it's a pity that the second generation teacher only agreed to communicate through the Internet, but refused to meet......"

Senxia shook his head.

There are two ways for Senxia to contact each other, the first way is to let Senxia contact them through the Internet, including qicq and other tools, and the other way is to communicate through the other party's editor.

However, the second generation teacher refused to communicate face-to-face with Mori Xia's side.

Although the other party said that he was very interested in this script, and also said that he liked animic very much, but the only thing to meet was that the other party did not agree.

"Teacher Nidaime is this kind of character, and she resolutely does not show her face when she attends offline activities. Before, the animation company wanted to make the work of the second generation teacher into an ova.,At that time,The second generation teacher didn't agree to meet with the other party.,So please forgive me.。 ”

――The above sentence is the editor in charge of the second generation of Mr. Elohir and the news they said.

"Speaking of which, the second generation teacher really doesn't have any plans to meet people or anything, and there is no way to do this. Senxia shook his head with some pity.

If you think about it carefully, the second generation teacher, it is true, as long as you attend various offline activities, the other party will definitely find a way to cover your face, even if it is just to come forward to participate in the bookstore signing party, the other party will definitely make others unrecognizable.

Although I know that the second generation teacher is a girl, this kind of thing is really not good.

"Well, it feels good. ”

The content of the first part of the second generation is not a gentleman.,But it doesn't matter.,In Mori Xia's opinion,The second generation of the teacher himself is very good.,This general setting,Sen Xia also thinks it's very good.。

In addition to this setting,The second generation teacher also wrote his own general idea for the skills and other settings.,Because the time is not very abundant.,So this kind of setting she just made a little bit of a superficial one.,But there is no detailed design.。

However, at this time, only a simple directional setting is needed, and Senxia can basically understand the other party's thoughts.

As the text progressed, Sen Xia and Qianjia seemed to form a picture in their minds, and this picture made them feel very comfortable.

"If it could be matched, I think it would be very good. Qianjia exclaimed.

"Well, there's no problem with this, it's not really difficult to simply match the picture. The reply given by Senxia is this.

"Eh, really? In this case, the game will become more complicated, and in this case, it will be a departure from our original intention. ”

Qianjia has learned a lesson, every time she and Sen Xia open their minds, they will forget all the business in the end, and then hug the crooked building and then crooked the building, in the end, Sen Xia and Qianjia often don't know which different dimension this topic has gone to.

And this time, Qianjia felt that it was absolutely impossible to continue to talk nonsense like this.

"Ahem, this won't be!" Sen Xia said immediately, but his eyes seemed to be a little weak, "I'm just talking about it a little, although it can be matched with the picture, but it doesn't have to be very interesting, simple is actually enough, from the game itself, this is about to expand a 5MB game to 10MB." ”

Although it is very troublesome to work on materials in many cases, it is possible to make a simple material and then use it from these materials to make the picture visible.

Hearing Senxia's words, Qianjia finally nodded, agreeing with Senxia.

"But Mori Xia-kun, the requirements you gave to the second generation of teachers and the DW club, I learned a little bit, and it seems to be a little different from the traditional MUD. ”

Qianjia asked another question.

"Actually, the core part is still the same, but it has changed slightly. ”

In the 21st century, the core part of online games is basically mud, but the text is turned into graphics, and it's as simple as that.

"Well, it's different, and I don't know how to describe it...... Well,It's probably a game like a private roguelike.。 ”

After thinking about it, Senxia suddenly said a name.

Among the word games, the more classic games are probably world_of_dungeon, hall_of_fame and other games.

In addition, tales_of_maj\'eyal, a game called tome for short, is a game that belongs to the roguelike category. TOME and Angband, Hack, ADOM, dungeon_crawl are all classics of this type of game.

These roguelike games with text battle information have, in Senxia's view, a kind of concise beauty.

And on the other hand, roguelikes are also more advanced than muds.

Although both are made up of characters, roguelikes can be operated with a keyboard or even a mouse, while in MUD, in addition to movements, skills and magic can be moved with keyboard shortcuts, most other things have to be entered commands, which can be said to be very painful.

"Roguelike? I do know there's a game called rogue. ”

Although Mori Xia is very good at making up for his brain, Qianjia doesn't even have the concept of "roguelike".

"Well, that's what it comes from this game. ”

The concept of roguelike will probably take another seven or eight years before it will gradually become familiar to people, although at that time, the concept of this game has declined, but with the popularity of the Internet, this kind of game is gradually known.

It's better to say,Chika has heard of the rogue game now,It's a little surprised,Although this game is very famous in foreign countries,But in Japan,In fact, people are probably more willing to discuss Dragon Quest.。

In the 80s, two engineers developed a game called "Rogue" on a mainframe with UNIX systems.

The purpose of this game is to reproduce the "DND" game experience on the computer, and strictly follow the "DND" game rules of single-player turn-playing games.

The game was an instant hit, leading to a series of games similar to or similar to the "rogue", collectively known as "roguelikes".

Although the term is already there, it was only a few years before it was officially recognized and defined.

Speaking of these things, Senxia also understands, but he doesn't want to discuss this with Qianjia, now Senxia is more concerned about the game itself, how to perfectly integrate this game form with the setting of the second generation teacher, is what Senxia is considering.

"There are a few points that need to be mastered in this kind of game, the first is the randomness of the generation, in this case, I think we have no problem, our setting is not completely random, but the rich options are enough for players to have surprises every time they choose. The second is the unidirectional nature of the process, which is also very simple, there is no online game that is not unidirectional. And the third is irreversibility, in most roguelike games, each character only has one life, and the death of a character means that the player will lose that character forever - well, I don't think it's good, so I didn't adopt it, but I can launch a core mode or something later......"

In addition, this type of game also pays attention to the non-linearity of the game, the simplicity of the graphics, and the complexity of the system.

The roguelike itself is far more complex than any other game of the period, and roguelikes are likely to include an immeasurable number of elements in a single game, such as geology, climate, and biological distribution, as well as a combat system down to skin, muscle, blood, bones, and fat, and even scars and after-effects after healing from battle damage. In some games, there may be hundreds of causes of death, thousands of creatures, and tens of thousands of items. It can be said that except for roguelike games, there is no traditional game that can have so many elements regardless of the cost.

The game is non-linear or something, but it's not a problem, because Senxia didn't think about linear development in the first place.

And the simplicity of the picture ...... This is not simple and it will not work!

As for the complexity of the system, well, the Japanese love to engage in this the most!

"But we're running out of time, are we?"

Qianjia felt that there were still problems.

If you want to make a picture, it's not that simple, and it can even be said to be very troublesome.

"Well, too...... Ah, yes, I've got a way!"

Sen Xia Ji, someone in the family has made a PC version of Cthulhu's board game, maybe you can borrow it?

......

Well, here is a look at the two games of Tome4 and Elona, which are very good.

It's a pity that we haven't found this kind of gentleman-oriented game, and I've always felt that it's a pity.

It's obviously very suitable as a gentleman's theme......
