Chapter 196: Calligraphy and Painting (For the Smiling Gentleman)

"The painting skill has two brushes, which are [Create] and [Erase]. Of course, these two brushes only work on scene elements in the game, not on monsters. For example, the player can't just wipe the boss, that's impossible. ”

"As a simple example, when the player is about to fall off a cliff and has already used the double jump, they can use the painting skill and draw a block at the protagonist's feet."

"After the painting is completed, time will resume flowing, and the protagonist will be deemed to have stepped on the ground when he falls on the block, at which point he can use a jump + a double jump again to jump off the cliff and reach the opposite side of the cliff safely."

"For example, when a large rock rolls down in front of the player, and the height of the double jump is not high enough to cross the big stone, you can use the [Erase] skill of painting to directly erase the big stone."

"Of course, there is a time limit for painting, which is only 5 seconds at first, and this time will be extended according to the continuous upgrading of the main character. If the player only erases half of the large stone, the large stone will become only half of it when time resumes flowing, but it will still continue to roll down under the influence of the physical rules. ”

"In addition, the [creation] of painting skills can also create some elements. We're allowing players to draw things in stick figures that will go straight into in-game elements. ”

"For example, we stipulate that when the player draws a circle, it is regarded as creating a large circular stone, so as long as the player draws a circle, the circle will automatically become a large circular stone, which will continue to roll down from the position where it appears, and smash the monster in front of it."

"There are many similar elements, not just stones, but also swords, weapons, wooden golems, and even illusory things like thunder and lightning."

"In addition, the drawing skills are necessary to pass certain levels."

"For example, in a certain level in the middle and late stages, the whole world is made up of lines, and once a scholar steps on a line, he will fall into the abyss. At this time, players need to use their drawing skills to color the world, and some scholars can stand up and move forward after coloring. ”

Zhong Ming roughly described his painting skills.

To put it simply, the drawing skill allows players to modify the elements in the game by means of graffiti!

This can be by adding new item elements, or by erasing existing materials as a way to support combat.

Du Mingxian was amazed when he heard it: "Yes, interesting!" Sounds like a very new design! ”

Wu Zhicheng also nodded repeatedly.

The design of Zhong Ming is simple, but the degree of freedom is high, and it fits well with the backstory of the game itself!

There are a lot of side-scrolling games, but they have almost been thoroughly studied, and they are nothing more than running, jumping, attacking, and so on.

But once you add this special drawing skill and have such a complex interaction with the scene elements, there are more things to play all at once!

Wu Zhicheng nodded and said, "The gameplay is very good!" Very good! But I have a question, if it's just this kind of simple graffiti, you shouldn't need to use the hand-drawn tablet and pressure pen you said, right? You can directly use your fingers to draw on the bracelet, and you can also use the mouse directly to operate it on the computer. ”

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, the pressure pen, that's for another skill." ”

Wu Zhicheng suddenly said: "Oh, yes, there is also a calligraphy skill." Calligraphy skills are not the same as painting skills, are they? ”

"Yes. Calligraphy skills are another skill. It can be said that drawing skills are support skills, such as drawing a stone to step on, or drawing a tiger to fight with you. Calligraphy skills, on the other hand, can be used as a kind of ultimate! ”

Zhong Ming continued to scroll down the design concept draft.

Several judges, especially Jin Xi, all stared wide-eyed.

"In the course of the game, the scholar will encounter a lot of powerful enemies, especially in high difficulty, these enemies have much higher offensive and defensive attributes than the scholar, and it is basically difficult to defeat with conventional attack methods."

"That's where calligraphy skills come in. Calligraphy, in layman's terms, is a way to magnify your moves! For example, this poem: Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse glacier falls into a dream! ”

"This is the first time that the scholar has encountered a large-scale monster, and it is impossible to deal with so many monsters with ordinary attacks and defenses alone. At this time, the system will guide the scholar to use calligraphy skills for the first time. ”

"Calligraphy skills, like painting skills, will be temporarily stagnant, but calligraphy skills are not limited in time. At this point, this poem appears on the game screen and needs to be written by the player. After writing, the system automatically calculates the degree of completion and determines the power of the skill based on the degree of completion! ”

The concept sketch shows the game at this point. A layer of translucent masks appeared on the original battle screen, and the masks appeared on the two lines of the poem, "Lying in the night listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the glacier falling into a dream", the first sentence does not need to be written, only the latter sentence needs to be written.

The latter sentence is to outline the outline with a line, and the player only needs to draw red according to the outline, and finally determine the damage of the skill according to the degree of completion.

"Of course, how it is converted depends on the difficulty of the game. On Easy difficulty, players only need to achieve 20% completion to unleash a full damage skill, and a completion level above 45% can reach a maximum of 150% skill damage. On the other hand, on higher difficulty, the higher the level of completion required of the player. ”

"After it is written, the process of writing the poem appears on the screen, and it takes about a second or two to play quickly, and at the same time, a river of ice will suddenly appear from the scroll in the scholar's hand, flow to the monsters in front of him, and freeze them all, and then, the soldiers of the Golden Iron Horse will rush out of the scroll and destroy all the monsters."

"Of course, if it's easy and average difficulty, players only need to write it for the first time, and then they can automatically skip it and release it according to the highest completion skill they have written before."

"The calligraphy skills in the game are all demonstrated with some similar poems or calligraphy works, and the effect varies according to the content of the poems."

"For example, 'Spring Breeze does not pass the Jade Gate Pass', it is to summon a huge side fortress to resist all attacks indiscriminately for a period of time."

"And 'shoot the man before the horse, capture the thief and capture the king first' is to shoot a huge arrow that deals a lot of damage to the strongest enemy on the screen at the moment."

"People say that the sword turns into a dragon, and the fear of the wind and thunder will summon a sharp sword to turn into a dragon shape, and after flying above the monster's head, summon the wind and thunder to cause area damage to the monster."

Zhong Ming listed several examples in one breath, and on the design concept draft, these sentences were also written, all calligraphy works.

Just like "Iron Horse Glacier Comes to Dream", every word can be called a silver hook iron painting, and the sword is magnificent, as if you can feel the feeling of power through the back of the paper!

Although Zhong Ming uses a pressure-sensitive pen and a hand-drawn tablet, he cannot see through the back of the paper, but it means so.

Du Mingxian was dumbfounded.

The game can still do that??

I haven't actually seen the demo of the game, but just listening to Zhong Ming's words, I can probably feel the refreshing feeling when I release my ultimates through calligraphy!

However, Du Mingxian was a little worried, because Zhong Ming's concept draft had too much calligraphy written!

even gave Du Mingxian a feeling of showing off his skills.

Du Mingxian didn't think there was anything, but Lao Jin next to him was a calligrapher, could he like it?

Du Mingxian secretly glanced at Lao Jin, and as a result, Lao Jin's eyes were round, and his face was full of ecstasy and shock!
