Chapter 16: Shanshan's Last Wish
There were no new footsteps in the hallway - Brain C-Zhang had given up, had he? He didn't seem to order the security guard to block the door, and then go and get the key to search all the departments in turn, after all, there would be too much commotion, and he was not the principal of the entire school after all, and he didn't have the freedom to search the club department at will. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As a result, Brain C turned left three times around the huge building, turned three times to the right, and had no choice but to retreat with the security guards - as the vice principal of the main grade, he obviously couldn't waste too much time on two students.
Of course, even if he really went to get the key, Jiang Yucheng was not afraid - from the window of the animation club, he could also jump out of the bicycle shed. With the help of the buffer time won by the door of the activity room of the animation club, even in the worst situation, Jiang Yucheng and Yu Baochen can calmly enter the campus of Northeast Renmin University.
"Whew... It's safe for the time being..."
After carefully observing the photos taken by the mobile phone from behind the glass window above the main entrance of the department, Jiang Yuchang let out a sigh of relief and confirmed that the brain C Zhang had left. So, what's next? Do you wait until school is out and leave, or do you just take a break and jump out of the window? ・・・・・
"Senior brother and sister, do you have anything to do with the animation club?"
Jiang Yucheng and Yu Baochen, who heard this voice, were startled - they were patronizing and hiding from their brains, completely forgetting that there might be someone in the club room. They turned their heads to look, only to see a girl sitting on a chair on the other side of the event - this high school girl was a beautiful woman with clear eyebrows and red lips and white teeth, and her suit-style school uniform seemed to have been modified by herself, very close-fitting, with a slender waist and a shorter skirt than the others. Looking at this picture, she should be a member of the animation club now, right? However, there seems to be something wrong with it...
Jiang Yucheng hurriedly said to this: "I'm sorry, classmate...
But at this time, there was a look of memory on the other party's face, as if Jiang Yucheng's face gave him a sense of immediacy, and before Jiang Yucheng stammered to explain, she suddenly spoke:
"Isn't this Senior Brother Jiang Yucheng?"
Yu Baochen turned his face and asked, "You know?" ”
Acquaintance? ・・・Why don't I remember such a girl as my own person... Although he knew that it was a bit rude, Jiang Yucheng could only ask:
"You are? ・・・・・”
"I'm Dong Chaoran!" The other party replied.
"Dong Chaoran?!" But Dong Chaoran is a ・・・・・! ・・・・Oh!! Jiang Yucheng finally understood that he felt something was wrong just now - the other party's image was obviously a girl, but his voice was like a boy. In other words, he's not a girl, he's a cute boy ♂ ♂. Judging by the color of the clothing, this person should be a sophomore in high school.
"Oh... Dong Chaoran, it turned out to be you!" Jiang Yucheng reacted at this time--at the same time, he was still a little embarrassed and overwhelmed, "I haven't seen you for so long, you have really become..."
"You don't recognize it at all, do you?" But the other party happily took over the conversation, "I'm now the president of the anime club!" ”
"It's an acquaintance." Yu Baochen looked at this cute boy ♂ ♂ with interest.
But Jiang Yucheng assured her: "When I was still in the animation club, he was still an ordinary boy..."
That's right, Dong Chaoran - he did know such a member of the animation club back then. The animation club is a big club that spans the two divisions of junior high and high school.,The members are both junior high school and high school.,In the third year of high school,This guy happens to be in the third year of junior high school.。 As usual, the junior high school student is busy with his studies, and club activities are basically too much to care about - but I don't know what method he uses to get teachers and parents, this guy has always maintained a high attendance rate for club activities. By the time Jiang Yucheng left school, that is, when this guy was promoted to the first year of high school, he seemed to be elected as the new president of the animation club, and he has been working for more than a year and a half now.
"Senior Brother Jiang Yucheng, this is..." He pointed at Yu Baochen and asked--after all, Yu Baochen was not a member of the animation club back then, and it was normal for him not to know him.
"Ah, this is Yu Baochen-" Jiang Yucheng introduced, "Don't look at this guy is also wearing a school uniform today, in fact, she is not a high school student for a long time..."
Yu Baochen also nodded: "I am in the same class with him, and this year is also a sophomore." ”
"Oh... Dong Chaoran, the president of the puppet mother, smiled kindly, "Senior sister and Senior Brother Jiang Yucheng are here today..."
"Ahh Nostalgia..." Jiang Yucheng moved out of the words that had been prepared a long time ago, "We plan to look around the campus first, recall the experience of the year, and then go to the main building to meet the teacher..."
"I see-" Dong Chaoran didn't seem to have any doubts about Jiang Yucheng's explanation, "That's okay, just take a look." ”
"Thank you-" Jiang Yucheng made a nostalgic expression, "I can't imagine that the place where the key is hidden in our club hasn't changed now..."
As he spoke, Jiang Yucheng began to pretend to walk around the room - of course, this is not exactly pretending, after all, the few activities in the animation club can be regarded as the only colorful memories of Jiang Yucheng's gray high school life. However, although the memories are very beautiful, Jiang Yucheng can't say anything about how colorful they are - the current animation club has changed a lot compared to the past. At that time, the activity room was congested, with only a few tables and stools, and a few precious posters on the walls. In addition to Kan Dashan, everyone's daily activities are that a few people gather together, and use the PSP smuggled into the school to watch the new episode, and the head surrounds the small screen.
But now, the animation club is thriving, and the shotguns have been replaced - rows of figurines and other household objects are placed on the cabinets next to the walls, most of which have not yet been opened. Rows of cos clothes hang from the long clothes pole, and there are two special changing areas. When Yu Baochen saw those clothes, he was a little eager to try, but he also knew that now was not the time to play this, and he was greedy for it, and he didn't take action after all.
However, although the equipment was a shotgun and a gun, the roster was still tied with a rope and hung on the wall as before-Jiang Yucheng picked up the roster with some interest and looked at it, and there was a name written on it that Jiang Yucheng couldn't ignore at all: "Han Yingshan."
At the beginning, Jiang Yucheng asked Shanshan about the head of their class under the banner of a member of the animation club, but in fact, it was just Jiang Yucheng talking nonsense - after all, a ghost classmate like Shanshan has not appeared in the teacher for almost two years, and Shanshan's classmates must not know which club she joins. But Jiang Yucheng never dreamed that he was still right, Shanshan, she was indeed a member of the Experimental Animation Club!
"Anyway, I haven't seen it for a few years, so our animation club has been so developed... Transcendent, you, the president, are really powerful!" Jiang Yucheng sighed casually, "Then again, are so many figurines or anything the property of our club?" ”
"Well, senior brother is serious, I'm just doing my best to help the students on campus who also like ACG..." Dong Chaoran smiled humbly, "These things are ordered for the students...
"Oh? What's going on? Jiang Yucheng suddenly became interested, "Let's hear it..."
"That's right, brother..."
It turns out that this Dong Chaoran seems to be a "hand-eyed" figure, and he seems to have considerable connections in both the school and the ACG circle in the city. In the experimental middle school, the animation club can be regarded as a relatively large club - and if the club wants to grow big in the school, the first thing it needs must be a huge mass base.
This also means that in the experiment, there are a lot of otaku and otaku. Ordinary homeowners have a more or less demand for ACG products - now junior high school students and high school students have much more pocket money than when Jiang Yucheng was in school, such as light novels, CDs, games, plastic villains and the like, homestays must have a demand - and the sum is not small. As a result, this "lovely boy" Dong Chaoran seized this business opportunity and single-handedly established a "black market for house goods" on campus, which is convenient for those students who have money but no channels to buy the house things they want.
Hearing his introduction, coupled with the total value of these properties he saw with his own eyes, Jiang Yucheng deduced that this guy is a low-key X second generation nine times out of ten, and intends to use this way as a rehearsal for his future inheritance of the family business - judging from the display of items in the animation club, this guy's "house black market" has obviously taken root in the school, developed and grown, and has been doing it now, if it is not for someone behind it, then no matter the cost recovery, The stability of the capital chain or the security of the transfer of the house (to ensure that the store is not confiscated by the teacher) will become the dead end of this "house black market".
Since this step can be achieved, then this second generation X must also have considerable connections in the ACG circle of the city - that is to say, for Han Yingshan, that is, the "right hand king", Dong Chaoran, who is also an industry insider, may have an unknown understanding of her other side...
"Anyway, Chaoran..." After thinking about it, Jiang Yucheng decided to ask--he and Dong Chaoran can barely be regarded as familiar, otherwise the other party would not be able to recognize him as soon as they meet, "Han Yingshan, a classmate in the third (9th) class of junior high school, is also a member of our club now?" ”
"Well, that's right-" Dong Chaoran nodded, "And Han Yingshan, she is not an ordinary club member!" Her real body is the right-hand king who painted the third brother's armament coffee table - the comic exhibition held by the critical next door, and our club also sold the same book drawn by Han Yingshan's classmates in the exhibition last year! ”
After listening to Dong Chaoran's answer, Jiang Yucheng was pleasantly surprised and regretted - to his surprise, he really guessed correctly, Dong Chaoran did have a deep relationship with Shanshan, or the right-hand king, in the ACG circle; What I regret is that I actually missed the opportunity to buy Shanshan's works!
Dong Chaoran refers to the "critical" next door, that is, a huge club at Northeast Renmin University where Jiang Yucheng is located: the Critical Animation Association. Different from the newly-born Experimental Animation Club, Critical has been established in the National People's Congress for 15 years, and has won the honor of the top ten clubs of the school many times. Nexus organizes several large-scale events in the school every year, the most famous of which is the large-scale comic convention held every June. Since this is one of the few large-scale comic conventions in the city, not only people from our school will participate, but also groups from many other schools will participate in this event.
Jiang Yu is a native of Ben, in fact, he is also a critical member, and he unfortunately missed this comic con because he was busy with other things during the comic con last year. In other words, he missed the opportunity to buy Shanshan's work!!! Thinking of this, Jiang Yucheng only felt that his intestines were going to be repentant...
"Having said that," Jiang Yucheng asked—after all, the past is gone, and the most important thing now is to look to the future, "Han Yingshan, is there any new work going to be released at this year's Comic Con?" ”
"Well...," Dong Chaoran's expression seemed a little embarrassed, "Listening to her, she seems to want to try to make a fangame... But this is really too difficult for us - although I also want to try my best to fulfill the wish of the right hand king, but now it seems that it may only be the same as last year." After all, our club is only a club for middle school students after all, and our strength is still too far behind other clubs..."
"Do your best to fulfill her wishes?" From Dong Chaoran's words, Jiang Yucheng heard something he didn't want to hear-"What do you mean..."
"Senior Brother Jiang Yucheng doesn't know?" Dong Chaoran looked at Jiang Yucheng with some surprise, "I thought that if Senior Brother knew her, he should have known about this..."
"Well, I just happen to know her, and I don't know much about her details..." Jiang Yucheng pretended not to know anything and shrugged his shoulders, "What's wrong with her?" The family won't let her continue to paint? ”
"If only it were that simple—" Referring to this topic, Dong Chaoran also seemed to be in a bad mood, "Han Yingshan, that is, the right hand Wang Dashen, she was just diagnosed with congenital heart disease two years ago, and if there is no miracle, she may only have three or four years to live... And she usually makes a great contribution to our community, so we all want to try our best to help her fulfill her wishes...
"That's right..."
If there was still a trace of luck in Jiang Yucheng's heart before, then now, Jiang Yucheng already has a kind of despair in his heart - why is this world so cruel? ! As the old saying goes, "the son wants to raise but the kiss doesn't wait", and now he is "the brother wants to love and the sister is dying"! Obviously, he was determined to care about Shanshan as a real relative just now, and he was obviously until
It's only been the last half a year that I've been able to talk to Shanshan... But now...
"What's the matter, Senior Brother Jiang Yucheng?" Dong Chaoran noticed that Jiang Yucheng's expression seemed to be a little strange.
"Ah, it's nothing..." Jiang Yucheng shook his head, "Then, I'll go back first-by the way, if it's convenient, can you leave me your mobile phone number?" ”
"Okay--Senior brother, if you have something, just come to me..."
・・・・・・
"I said, it's almost time for you to lift your spirits..."
After meeting the teacher and leaving the campus, Jiang Yucheng's whole person was almost like a walking corpse - along the way, Yu Baochen told Jiang Yucheng a few new ideas about the book "Armor" that he had thought of after this infiltration reconnaissance, but Jiang Yucheng did not react to this, and just mechanically replied "um", "oh" and other meaningless modal words...
Seeing that Jiang Yucheng couldn't lift his spirits, and now that it was dinner time, Yu Baochen directly pulled Jiang Yucheng to the Hanyang Hotel, which has now become a "special meeting place" for Jiang Yucheng and Yu Baochen. After eating some food and filling his stomach, Yu Baochen officially began to mobilize Jiang Yucheng:
"I can understand that this is really sad," Yu Baochen said, "but since it has happened, and it seems that it can't be changed anymore, then you have to forget about it and look ahead..."
"Forget it?" Jiang Yucheng finally reacted, "What are you kidding?" This kind of thing..."
"It's hard to do, isn't it?" Yu Baochen asked rhetorically, "Yes, I know that too—but if you really think about your sister, you have to do it." ”
"For...
"That's right—" The whole body of the Born God General of Paektu Mountain seemed to exude bursts of Juche thought, "Doesn't your sister want to make a fangame?" Now you can't change the premise that she doesn't have much left to live - but you can decide if she can go through the rest of her life with as little regret as possible..."
"You mean... we're here to help her with this game?" Under the light of Juche's thoughts, Chef Jiang's IQ finally came back online, "How is this... possible?" ”
"That's right—how can you know without trying?" The god general asked rhetorically, "Wasn't it impossible for you to defeat the god witch Nana in the first place?" And there are several types of doujin games or something.--If you make a Galgame, it's possible to complete it even with our current abilities..."
Finish the fangame? Galgame?
Perhaps really inspired by Juche's thoughts, Jiang Yucheng's brain finally started working again—yes! That's true!
Although for ordinary people, making a game or something does sound a little too far away. But if it's replaced by Galgame, wouldn't even ordinary people like Jiang Yucheng who don't have too many resources and hands-on ability be able to complete it?
After all, unlike other types of games, Galgame, or the common text**G game, is essentially a kind of visual fiction. Its constituent elements are nothing more than words, pictures and sounds. In other words, Galgame is actually a metamorphosis mode of fiction.
And for the current Jiang Yucheng and Shanshan, it is indeed feasible to make a homo Galgame - if the script is used, Jiang Yucheng can write it himself, or he can ask the natural god general and the god witch Nana (that is, Xiaoqi), two writers with strong pen power, to write it; If you have a voice, you can dub it yourself.,Find BGM by yourself--After all, everything in the same works can be simplified.,And illustration or something.,Shanshan herself.,Or the right hand king.,Isn't it a ready-made artist!
As far as Jiang Yucheng knows,The same world itself already has an open source and free Galgame engine like Girigiri or ONScripter that can be used directly,With your own programming ability,Like a stone gate or a penalty,It's estimated that a game with a complex system can't be done.,But with the original framework of the engine,It's still very simple to make an ordinary game! (Note 1)
Thinking of this, Jiang Yucheng finally rekindled his fighting spirit - just like when he "duel" with the god Wu Nana...
Note 1: Kirigiri (KRKR for short) is a fan game maker developed by W. Dee, and you only need to prepare a text editor (such as Notepad) to use Kirigiri to write a script directly. Girigiri is extremely powerful in handling 2D graphics, and supports the most image and music formats among the current doujin game tools. "Fate/StayNight" is one of KRKR's masterpieces. It makes it easy for users to integrate graphics, music, animations, and text scripts, so that users can focus on the game itself without spending too much effort on programming code.
Girigiri is licensed under the GPL, and users can use Girigiri to develop games without paying any fees, including free, shared, or commercial games.
Of course, the disadvantage of KRKR is that it relies too much on Win32 APIs and is extremely difficult to port, while NScripter-based ONS can be easily ported to iOS and Android, but some games with too complex systems can be very difficult to port with ONS - such as "Gate of Destiny Stone" and "Rewrite" mentioned in the article
