Chapter 495: The choice of the mission

Shigemura Aoki is one of the important gears of a certain part of this pocket watch, and the movement of all the gears slowly pushes the hour hand to rotate. Yu Kamiya, a craftsman www.biquge.info the pen, the Fun Pavilion, drew up the design drawings of the pocket watch and was in charge of testing whether the pocket watch would function properly, at least at this particular point in time.

The production speed of the game "Dark Souls" is extremely fast, and on the surface it seems that this is actually the joint result of two game development companies, one is the [Mirror Flower Water Moon] game company, which is mainly responsible for the production of the main body of "Dark Souls", and the other is a mysterious game development team that no one knows except Yu Kamiya, providing the basic skeleton of the game and perfect design information, both game development companies are indispensable.

The mysterious game development team is Yu Kamiya himself, who obtained all the relevant information about the game "Dark Souls" from the finished product to the production from the [Matrix Space], and tested it for tens of millions of players in the previous world for ten days. It covers the basics of a game engine and making a game, such as various game development parameters. The game's physics engine will affect the sense of attack in the game, and the game parameters are related to the gameplay of the entire game system, such as the impact of player attributes on weapons, and the impact of weapon attributes on monsters.

Usually these parameters require countless attempts by the game development team to get the best results, which can be described as a big project in the development of the game, but these are the most convenient and advantageous processes in the eyes of Kamiya Yu, who wouldn't copy and paste, Kamiya Yu directly recorded it in the game plan and saved a lot of manpower in the game planning department.

At present, the game company has the largest amount of engineering is a team responsible for graphic development such as Shigemura Aoki, and the scenes, monsters, equipment, etc. in the game need to be modeled with special software according to the three views drawn by Kamiya Yu, and then rendered, and the numerical reference of automatic rendering is also optimized and adjusted by [matrix space], and the style of automatic rendering of 3D models using that set of parameters will be biased towards Gothic dark and mysterious.

However, Kamiya Yu has limited energy, and cannot fully replicate all the information of [Matrix Space] in this world, and the software automatic rendering process needs to be added to the manual review stage due to various shortcomings, which is one of the main tasks that Shigemura Aoki is responsible for, and they can complete the second rendering modification before the official graphic product can be packaged to Kamiya Yu for review, but unfortunately Shigemura Aoki's team is obviously inexperienced, and there is basically no relevant work experience before, and most of the finished products that have been reviewed by them for the second time still need to be rebuilt by Kamiya Yu.

Kamiya Yu looked down at the copywriting in his hand,Right hand on the wooden desk fingers rhythmically tapped,This is the game planning department according to his requirements to create a branch plot content outline,A total of eight side plot outlines were written in the copy,But only the first two make Kamiya Yu satisfied,The side plot of "Dark Souls" has not been very full,Trigger conditions and various obscure information often confuse players,What's worse is that usually the rewards of character side lines are not rich。

Kamiya Yu's reset of "Dark Souls" has considered this.,In addition to the original sub-plot Kamiya Yu himself wrote a few wonderful side plots to enter.,The other part is for the game planning department to make up.,Kamiya Yu doesn't want the game planning department to do nothing.。 Whether the complete side plot conceived by the game planning department can reach its own required level is debatable, and the rough outline is at least more interesting.

The remastered version of "Dark Souls" can ensure that players can trigger a side plot at each campfire point, the side plots are long and short, and some of them are obscure and difficult to understand and require players to explore according to clues, this branch plot greatly enriches the game world view of "Dark Souls", and players can see the human nature struggling in the game world of "Dark Souls".

Closing the above copy, Yu Kamiya clasped his hands and fell into deep thought: "In this way, it seems that the planning department has put in a lot of effort, at least the game setting and gameplay of "Dark Souls" have been studied and thoroughly understood. ”

"The photo in [Bloodstained Old Photo] can be used as a special prop, and after being used on the campfire, you can gain a lot of humanity, but the photo will be burned to ashes by the campfire, so it seems necessary to design this good photo and make it a special souvenir. There are many things that can be added to the side story, mainly to depict the struggle of characters like Raymond after being cursed by the undead, and these side plots will affect the ending, and will also affect the player's impression of the ending of [Passing the Fire] or [Extinguishing the Fire]. ”

Players see the world of "Dark Souls" through the side plot of the game, they will choose [Spread the Fire] to continue the light of the world or [Fire Extinguish] to become the Lord of Darkness.

The original gamer's impression of the ending of the fire is probably derived from the King of the Sun Gwen and the Sun Knight, [Fire Transfer] itself is not a good thing, the plot itself has no rich feedback, and the ending of [Fire Fighting] is only the words of the Dark Snake family, some players have said that [Fire Transfer] is a continuation of the era of giants, and fire fighting is the future of dwarves (humans), and the real facts probably only exist in the heart of Hidetaka Miyazaki.
