Chapter 162: The Beginning of the Script (2/5 for the Alliance Leader's Dream Starry Sky)

At this time, Zhong Ming was consulting the history of this world and studying the feasibility of the game he was going to make.

The history of this world and Zhong Ming's previous life basically started from the three wars, the outbreak of science and technology in the three wars, the mass production of artificial intelligence armies and the subsequent crisis of intelligence and machinery made the history of this world embark on a completely different path, but before the three wars, the history of the two worlds was much the same.

The "ancient history" collectively known in this world, that is, the thousands of years of history before the three world wars and before the rapid growth of artificial intelligence technology, is actually not much different from Zhong Ming's previous life.

It's just that all kinds of historical materials in this world have been seriously damaged by artificial intelligence, so the content that can be consulted is also intermittent.

Through these intermittent materials, Zhong Ming can also roughly know some of the circumstances of World War II, which basically coincide with his historical knowledge, such as the Pearl Harbor incident, such as the blitzkrieg on Poland and so on.

It's just that for people in this world, mentioning the "Pearl Harbor incident" is probably like mentioning the "storming of the Bastille" to an ordinary person in Zhong Ming's previous life, only some people know about it, and they only know about it, and they feel very far away from themselves.

However, as long as this history is a history that actually happened, that is enough.

Players are unfamiliar with this history, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

For example, Assassin's Creed uses a lot of historical content, such as the French Revolution, the American Revolutionary War, etc., but domestic players who don't know much about these things still have a lot of fun, and it has become a very important gimmick.

So, similar themes won't dissuade players, as long as you can really do it well.

Zhong Ming found the universal retriever in the bracelet and used it.

Details about every aspect of the game came to mind, and he began to quickly record the story synopsis of the entire process on the computer, as well as the intricate branching plots.

Quickly tap on the keyboard to quickly streamline the entire plot flow. And then there are the vivid characters in it, and every golden sentence......

The first universal retriever was used, and Zhong Ming used the second one.

This time, he began to quickly sketch out the outline of a single character with a hand-drawn tablet, as well as the background of the original painting for each scene.

Although it is just a simple line, there is no refinement or coloring, but the mood and feeling are still overwhelming.

The first original painting is a vista of a port, where the sun sets and the calm sea is red, and a passenger ship is about to set sail for the other side of the ocean.

The first character is a middle-aged man who looks like an intellectual, frowning, as if full of resentment, but he can also see some uprightness.

Then, one scene after another, a person, jumped on the page.

Zhong Ming draws very quickly, and immediately draws the next after drawing one, and each one is completed with a few strokes.

Finally, it was almost all done, and the rest of the parts were all the parts that Zhong Ming was impressed by, and they could be reproduced without the help of a universal retriever.

Zhong Ming let out a sigh of relief, and finally wrote the title of the document with the synopsis of the story.

Zhou Sen leaned over: "Latent Red Path...... Zhong Ming, it's not me who said it, this name is a bit of a street at first glance, a bit like a name that can only be given by a third-rate network......"

Jiang Wanna also said: "Wouldn't it be nice to call it "Latent" directly? The latter is not a little redundant. ”

Zhong Ming shook his head: "All of them are indispensable." ”

"Okay. So, what is this game? Zhou Sen asked.

"Word adventure game."

Zhou Sen: "...... Belch. ”

Zhou Sen, who originally thought he was going to show his strength, was a little painful.

Word adventure games?

Doesn't that mean that the program doesn't actually have much work......

It's not that there's no workload, it's just that the text adventure genre is one of the most laid-back types of programs compared to other games. As long as the underlying architecture is done, everything can be done by matching tables.

When to show which background, which character, which dialogue, can be achieved by means of a table.

Maybe some simple dynamic effects need to be done by the program, but other than that, it's not much more.

Of course, less work is a good thing, but Zhou Sen is worried about whether this kind of game can attract enough players.

Text adventure games are a relatively old and antique game genre, and they still survive to this day, only because many newcomers and designers who have not entered the industry use this kind of game to practice.

Text-based adventure games are simple to make, as long as the script and art materials are solved, all that is needed after that is time.

But this is also a difficult genre to come up with, after all, the game itself has no complicated gameplay to speak of, just a story.

If the story itself is exciting enough, then the game is exciting enough; If the story is sparse, then it doesn't make sense for the game to be done well.

Of course, Zhou Sen didn't have much objection to choosing this game type, because the text adventure game is simple to make and the cost is controllable, from the perspective of "saving money", it is a good choice, there is no big step, and it is not easy to pull the egg.

And the studio has Zhong Ming and Jiang Wanna, two awesome painters, so naturally there is no need to worry about art resources.

The only question is, Zhong Ming here, is there a good story?

"Can I read the script?" Jiang Wanna asked.

Zhong Ming said, "I can show you the beginning." I don't want spoilers in the back, and the specific dialogues and copywriting are not yet perfect, just a dry synopsis of the story, which won't be very exciting. ”

"Okay, let's look at the beginning." Jiang Wanna nodded.

Zhou Sen also thinks the same way, before making a text adventure game, you probably have to know what kind of story background it is, right?

"My name is Fang Bei, male, 22 years old."

"In February 1939, after two years of studying abroad in Neon, I finally stepped on the boat to my hometown."

"My neon friend asked me why I didn't stay in Neon and wait until the war was over because the situation over there was very unstable?"

I replied: "In the past two years, I have seen the strength of neon and the weakness of the countries of East Asia, and I am deeply impressed by His Majesty the Emperor's good intentions in establishing the ***** circle. This time I returned to China to do my best to assist the imperial army in accomplishing the great cause. ”

"To put it simply, I returned to China to be a traitor."

As Zhong Ming tapped on the keyboard to write lines of plot copy on the document, Jiang Wanna and Zhou Sen also saw the beginning of the story.

And in the end, after the sentence "I returned to China to be a traitor" was typed out, Jiang Wanna and Zhou Sen saw shock on each other's faces.
