Talking behind the scenes of the setting of the Legend of the Stars
Following the reader's thank you letter, another chapter of the water word count is updated.,Ahem.,I'm sorry to temporarily postpone the plot of the second season because of work.。
This time, I want to talk about some of the settings in the game that are not too conspicuous in the novel and are not written much, which is considered to be to make up for some of the settings, and then talk about the original concept of the eleven schools, as well as the original intention and ideas of the characters in each school.
At the beginning of the original chapter of "Ethereal Mountains and Forests, Surveying the Stars", I briefly introduced the martial arts settings of the immortal cultivators in the game through the dialogue between the frost brothers and sisters, and it was also deliberately written in the basic content of the martial arts moves, that is, the martial arts moves of each immortal cultivator's faction are divided into three categories: heaven, earth, and spirit, which are obtained by hunting ordinary demon beasts, and it can be understood that each sect player character has twelve moves, but the premise if you want to use them is to have the corresponding demon beast soul for category switching.
There are a lot of games with special skills in competitive battle games, and the simple four-skill system originally came from Blizzard's "Warcraft 3", and then carried forward by Moba games, and later introduced this skill system into FPS and returned to Blizzard's "Overwatch", and then the spin-off of the chicken game EA's "APEX" is to introduce the abbreviated skill system into this TPS+FPS combination of the game type, "The Legend of the Stars" was also based on the chicken mode when it was conceived, Therefore, I also designed a set of skill systems composed of only three small moves and one big move, but I also want to keep the random entertainment of the primitive chicken in the original chicken everyone scattered around the map and need to look for weapons and medicines everywhere, so the martial arts of each sect are strengthened into three factions, and players cannot use any of their own martial arts moves when entering the map, only ordinary attacks, and players need to find flying demons, land beasts, and water demons on the map to kill and collect their souls, and at the same time, medicinal herbs can also be taken on the map, Xuantie Stone, etc., to make basic props such as blood healing elixir, poison, and finger snap stone.
And these designs may still have some fun of scavenging materials everywhere when playing games (including the "landing into a box" of seizing the opponent's props after defeating the enemy), but it is too verbose to write into the novel, including every time the character uses martial arts, I deliberately mark "XXX martial arts X trick XXX" In fact, I also feel quite verbose, but I'm still afraid that if I write the name of the martial arts directly, the reader will forget what kind of move this is, and I don't look up the martial arts move list, so I read it in a daze, My fights are basically well thought out, and each move and style is described in great detail, so that I can create a picture of the battle in my mind, rather than just shouting the names and slogans of the moves, and have no idea what is actually happening...... This is far away, because if you have to write about how immortal cultivators collect these materials and demon beast souls every time, it is too much to cheat the word count and drag out the plot, so it is basically omitted and occasionally mentioned, for example, when Feng Wuji broke away from the Red Maple Gate and was chased and killed by Feng Rin, because the demon beast soul ran out, he could no longer switch between the three factions of the Red Maple Gate as before because the demon beast soul ran out; After being imprisoned by the Five Poisons Sect, Beidou Chenji confiscated all the demon beast souls, resulting in only the previously recorded factional martial arts.
OK,The next thing is to talk about the design concept of the eleven sects and the creation ideas of some of the characters in it.,At the beginning, there were only eight sects.,Respectively, the Red Maple Gate、Five Poisons Sect、Bihetang、Shitangbao、Tang Gate、Xuanji Gate、Star Dou Qiankun、Black Rakshasa,And after each big chapter, some new factions will be added.,Shenjian Gate、Scarlet Snow Heavenly Palace、Nocturnal Hades Mansion is added later.,The second season should lick a new one, right? It's still being conceived.
The Red Maple Gate is probably the faction that is most like the protagonist's forces, after all, the main roles are all in the Red Maple Gate, and the sect feature of the Red Maple Gate is the fast sword, and the originally designed trick moves highlight a "simple violence", "Maple Scroll" is a long-distance attack, "Maple Shadow Sword" is a medium-distance attack, "Maple Slash" is a close-range attack, of course, the closer the distance, the greater the power and range, and the mysterious "Maple Roll Red Sword" does not have any particularly fancy usage, that is, to charge up and then cut down with a sword, It can be said that the low-level immortal cultivators among the disciples of the Red Maple Sect who are not very good at cultivation are all martial arts that use the earth technique, because new beginners or players with low levels also use this kind of simple and easy-to-operate skills.
The Heavenly Trick and the Spirit Trick of the Red Maple Gate are not the same, Feng Wuji, as the strongest person in the Red Maple Gate's martial arts cultivation, he is the representative of the top players in this game, what is the difference between you and the professional players in the competitive game? Is he going out to have a few more big items than you? Or does he have more money than you do when he goes out? Or is his hero going out at a higher level than you? It's obviously not.,He's better than you is "operation" and "understanding", everyone can play at a completely different level with the same hero, and "The Legend of the Stars and Dust" also follows the level of players in reality in the use of martial arts in the role, like Feng Wuji's favorite "Maple Piaohua", in fact, he is a skill that can continue to flash for a period of time, but people with fast hand speed and accurate clicks can instantly move to dazzle the enemy, and those who are not able to react enough can only slowly move a few places to transfer, The effect time has not flashed a few times, so this is the gap between Feng Wuji and his fellow disciples, the biggest imitator of Feng Wuji in the text is Feng Shuo, but he can't catch up with Feng Wuji no matter how hard he tries, this is also the cruelest fact in real competitive games - your talent is not as good as others.
In addition, I deliberately highlight the masters of cultivating immortals in the text, that is, these masters can comprehend their own exclusive tactics and martial arts combinations from the original factional martial arts, Feng Wuji and Feng Shuo's fast sword, Feng Shuang's white blade flow, Feng Rin's anti-counter, Feng Song's rigid sword, and the shadow battle method of the master of other sects to the Emperor Xing, Liufeng's shadow cloak, Tang Ying's double martial arts, and the sword flying sword of the sword spirit (only he can fly the sword in the sword gate), etc., so that the masters in the text have personality, not limited to the content of the move table.
Back to the role, Feng Shuang, as the protagonist, is the most powerful role I gave to Kaihang in the whole text, from a rookie in the rivers and lakes when he debuted, he was promoted to the list of masters in one go, and finally stood at the top of the immortal cultivator after fusing with Tianji Xing, and he still won by single-handedly competing ten top masters. Since "The Legend of the Stars and Dust" is a group drama, I described three growth routes for young immortal cultivators at the beginning, and it is obvious that the growth of Beidou Yuanchen is relatively small (laughs); Gongsun Aowu made up for his lack of cultivation through resourcefulness, but his shallow cultivation was always hard and could not face the real master; And Maple Frost grows up the most exaggerated, after all, the protagonist's aura, but there is a price to grow too fast, otherwise you will become a heretic in this world and incompatible with the entire world view (for example, except for the protagonist, no one else has grown up, which should be a common routine in many novels now, so that the story becomes the earth revolves around the protagonist, as a group drama, which is not conducive to the development of the plot) Maple Frost is a teenager who aspires to become a hero of the world in terms of character, but the "adventures" he experienced made him the Demon King of the World, Became a close friend with the final boss, and finally was forced to break up because of his position, a contradictory story. Let's talk about Feng Wuji, in terms of setting, he is the first person at the peak of the martial arts of the immortal cultivators, a person can easily single-handedly take on any earth-shattering demonic beast, even in the face of the Tiangang Divine Beast, he will not show weakness, the closest human being to the realm of the immortal race, its name "Wuji" is also borderless, limitless meaning. As the strongest human being, my setting for him is the famous sentence in Spider-Man, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", Maple Wouji and Maple Frost can be called the most selfless people in the whole text, but Maple Frost's limited ability is presented as the trumpet of Maple Wouji, and in the end, Maple Wouji exchanged his life for Maple Frost's future, which is considered a kind of inheritance. Feng Shuang's sister Feng Rin, as one of the three protagonists, actually has a lot of roles, and she appears in every big chapter, but her sense of presence may be slightly weaker because her strength can't promote the development of events, and the most impressive thing should be the emotional entanglement between her and Feng Wuji at the beginning, right? Speaking of Feng Rin, we must also talk about Feng Shuo, this has always been a silent suitor behind Feng Rin, they have not been given a major role due to their strength, this will be greatly improved in the second season, because the two of them will become the new leader of the Red Maple Gate, and will be accepted as a disciple by Feng Luo, becoming an important role in driving the plot.
After saying that, it was the turn of the Red Maple Gate to teach the Five Poisons, and the characteristic was obviously the use of poison. The Five Poisons Sect is set up as a sect that is misunderstood by the world, because the use of poison is a design that is stronger than PVP and weaker than PVE (PVP means that players fight against players in the game, and PVE is against AI enemies, which can be understood in the text as dealing with monsters and star monsters) Plus the people of the Five Poisons Sect look strange because of poison refining, and they are directly identified by the world as a group of villains by their appearance. Among them, the scorpion core and scorpion mark are the most obvious embodiment of this setting. The most interesting setting in the Five Poisons Sect should be the relationship between Scorpion Red Smoke, Scorpion Ghost, and Sword Xiaoyao, Scorpion Red Smoke was originally set to be a female demon, in order to take revenge, she can do all bad things unscrupulously, the scorpion ghost is very strong but very low-key, but for the woman she likes, she has been doing things silently for her behind her back, even if it is a bad thing to dirty her hands, with the recovery of Jian Yao, Scorpion Red Smoke has changed, due to the difference in position, she and Jian Xiaoyao were forced to separate from the two factions, and Scorpion Hongyan, who did not want to disturb her lover, chose to silently repay the Five Poisons Sect, But as long as you are in the rivers and lakes, there will always be a day to meet.
Bihetang has the least description, after all, it is a special design for teammates to regenerate blood, add status to the auxiliary sect, it seems that it is not very advantageous when competing for the star soul martial arts, among which the most described is the relationship between He Xiaoyu and Fengshuang, He Xiaoyu bravely set off for love! There are also some branch lines that are the triangular relationship between Heyinqin and Shangguan Sijing and Feng Wuji, the antagonistic husband and wife relationship between Lotus Cocos and Corpse Zhongbai, the second season will think about how to expand the plot line of Bihetang, by the way, due to the deletion of the plot in the final chapter of the first season in order to end quickly, there is a section where the plot of the head He Qingfeng secretly framing Shi Wanjun for his own selfish desires and trying to shake his position as the leader of the martial arts alliance has been removed, and it can only be said that He Qingfeng is not convinced by Shi Wanjun, Bihetang and Shitangbao, the two sects that were supposed to be the best partners in martial arts, would break off sooner or later.
Shitangbao is set to be the largest sect on the rivers and lakes, and the head of Shi Wanjun is also the leader of today's martial arts alliance, in fact, all these designs have roots, that is, when I first conceived Shitangbao's martial arts "King Kong immovable clothes" is the easiest move to use in the game, as long as the defensive wall is always open, it is simple and brainless. Due to the low operation demand and many people playing, Shitangbao, the sect with the theme of defense and counterattack, has become the sect with the largest number of people (laughs), and at the same time, the two brothers Shi Wanjun and Shi Zhonglong also told readers through various means in the article that they do not have to be the first in the world in martial arts to sit on the first throne, and there are people who are better than you as long as they are collected for themselves, and you only need to have a good relationship with them if you want others to support you. It is precisely because every door in the world must give them a face dart to be unimpeded, the rivers and lakes cannot be passed by force alone, and the strongest black and white characters in Chinese, Feng Wuji and the Criminal Emperor, have been wooed by the Shi family brothers, and those who were once enemies can also become friends, which is the way of the rivers and lakes of Shitangbao. Another more eye-catching character in Shitangbao should be Shi Rou, Shi Rou's original setting was to verify that Feng Wuji always unconsciously attracts bees and butterflies on the rivers and lakes because he is too good, and later it has also become a bridge for Shitangbao to try to poach Feng Wuji's plot, Shi Rou's setting is also relatively simple to refer to the unruly eldest lady Guo Fu in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the Shi Wen Shiwu brothers around her are her followers. Pomegranate is a new character that was only added in the Tiangang Cataclysm chapter, and there are no important scenes yet, mainly to adjust the balance of yin and yang among the members of Shitang Castle, after all, almost all of the members of Shitang Fort are men, and some female characters should also be added, and at the same time, Shi Zhonglong has a daughter, is the head Shi Wanjun still a single? So Pomegranate appeared as Shi Wanjun's wife, taking a different route from Shitangbao's martial arts, when the male bodyguards focused on defense and took the initiative to step forward to be beaten, the female qigong masters used King Kong Fudo's martial arts to carry out an active attack, and the second episode of the plot should add Pomegranate's female disciples to enrich the plot of Shitangbao.
The Tang Sect is a family of hidden weapons, and the characteristic setting is naturally an assassin organization, and its three martial arts of the Tang Gate secret weapons correspond to long-range hidden weapons, trap hidden weapons, and melee hidden weapons, because as an assassin, it is inevitable that he will be all-encompassing, and it is impossible to only sneak attack and assassinate. Tang Howling and Tang Gang brothers in the Tang Gate are funny comedy roles, Tang Ying may play a heavier role and has a close relationship with the Iron Horse Fortress, but the really important civil strife plot of the Tang Gate was only revealed in the Tiangang Cataclysm chapter, and the masters of the Tang Sect all wanted to compete for the position of the head of the house, and after the death of the head Tang Qiandao, the fuse of the plot was completely ignited.
Xuanji Gate is a family of craftsmen, set to drive themselves to create a puppet, which is equivalent to using summons as the main force of the battle, and its own strength is not strong, so it has derived Gongsun Aowu and Gongsun Mou, who want to improve the combat effectiveness of the puppet through military strategy, and the important plot of Xuanji Gate has not yet been launched, as the same summoning army battle method as the night Hades, Xuanji Gate has not yet used its true strength.
Xingdou Qiankun was originally set up to be good at reconnaissance and investigation of the direction of the Star Monster, and Bihetang was as auxiliary as not even a little combat effectiveness, and later took the route of the mage, good at PVE chanting big magic but PVP is weak and requires operation skills, Star Dou Qiankun has the most powerful two mysteries "Yang Chen Mirror" and "Yin Chen Mirror", the effect of hitting large Star Monsters is simply a must, but it is not very easy to deal with immortal cultivators, and it will be interrupted before it is released, There are also many charms that work wonderfully, such as the yin and yang poles (magnet effect), and the shape-shifting charm. Among the characters of Xingdou Qiankun, Beidou Yuanchen is described a lot, and the later Tiangang Cataclysmic Chapter is to supplement the plot of his friend Beidou Chenji, and the two of them are similar in personality. The characters in Star Dou seem to be unconsciously written that women are stronger than men, and the Big Dipper Ziwei and the Gemini sisters are both masters in the faction and full of characteristics.
Black Rakshasa, needless to say the existence of extreme evil, when the various major sects were still in the way of face and joined forces to destroy the Star Monster before they began to compete for the Star Soul Martial Arts, the Black Rakshasa had already embarked on the worst way to win in the game - only the last person left. Therefore, they will target the lone immortal cultivator to attack from the beginning, which can be regarded as a representative of the bad player. The Black Rakshasa is also the only sect whose disciples do not have a fixed surname, in order to highlight their "chaotic" characteristics, and you can't tell what characteristics of the Rakshasa Demon Shadow martial arts are, and everything is a little bit of it, which is also a summary of the word "chaos". The most drama-heavy characters in the Black Rakshasa are the ones who choose to break away from the Black Rakshasa and change from the villain to absolute neutrality, after all, the villain has no good end (laughs), and the Emperor Xingdi, the prince of the last clan who fell into the darkness, and the Moth who is looking for a wife for love are both characters with distinct personal colors, acting only for themselves and not being bound by the position of good and evil, so they are sometimes good people and sometimes bad people.
Let's talk about this first, and then take the remaining three factions and water another chapter. (〃'▽'〃)
