RPGs are indispensable for the plot.

Although I despise this aspect and think that the plot is irrelevant, this is an RPG game after all, and it is not like it if there is no matching plot.

So, in the following days, Chen Ba took Zhong Shengwei and Xiao Lu to stay up late to read a series of Western Fantasy Brave novels, and wrote a rough plot synopsis according to the needs of the game.

That's right, the synopsis!

There is nothing wrong with saying that it is an outline, after all, it is just a brief introduction to the origin, process and ending of the story.

As for the detailed content of the story, you have to hire a special author to write it.

The reason why I have to hire someone to write the game plot copywriting is, on the one hand, that Chen Ba and others don't have time to think about the plot, after all, there are still a lot of things to do in game development!

On the other hand, the "gunslinger" hired by the studio is of high quality, and he has worked on the storytelling of many fantasy-style RPGs and knows a lot about the genre.

The plot is mainly divided into three parts.

That is, the human kingdom, the orc empire and the elven kingdom, each with an independent plot line.

The main plot of the human kingdom belongs to the origin of the story of the entire game: the princess is taken captive, and the Templar finds a way to summon the brave through the dusty texts that have been hidden for many years.

The king attached great importance to this, but after the news leaked, it attracted the attention of the demon king, so he sent his minions to destroy the royal capital and search for the whereabouts of the brave man......

The experience of the brave in the human kingdom can only be summed up in one sentence: hiding everywhere, developing silently, and finally expelling the demon king's minions!

Then there is the elven kingdom's cry for help.

When the demon king was raging and suffering from internal and external troubles, the ambitious orc empire still ignored it and took the initiative to provoke a war with the elven kingdom. The brave men of Asassy decided to help the elven kingdom and persuaded the orc empire to put aside their disputes and unite with the outside world.

The Orc Empire was infiltrated by the demon king's minions, the royal family was assassinated, and only a fox bloodline was left among the people.

As we all know, heroes saving beauty are traditional customs and culture that have to be experienced in another world, and the brave are not exempt from vulgarity.

So, by chance, the brave rescued the orc princess with nine tails and furry ears, and helped her regain the throne and become a generation of orc queens.

After the Orc Empress ascended the throne, the Orc Empire declared a truce with the Elven Kingdom, and the humans, elves and orcs united the dwarven remnants who had been destroyed to form a coalition to launch a general attack on the Demon King's army.

"The ending of the story may surprise many players."

Chen Ba, as the main planner, has thought about the ending of the game for a long time, and he dares to guarantee that this ending will definitely surprise many people.

The true identity of the demon king turned out to be the princess who was taken captive!

In other words, there has never been such a thing as a princess being kidnapped by the demon king, and it has always been a good play directed and acted by the demon king.

All were kept in the dark.

"When the demon king is finally destroyed, the demon king will return to the appearance of a princess and tell the brave a cruel truth."

Chen Ba said word by word: "This is a world that has been arranged, the old demon king is dead, the brave is gone, and the new demon king and the brave will be born again, and so on." ”

"People will forget what happened in the past, they don't remember the previous braves, they just look forward to the arrival of new heroes, and then save them, and live in the cycle for the rest of their lives......"

"Tragic ending?"

Yang Dong said thoughtfully: "Listening to what you said, our game seems to have a little bit of a deep core?" ”

"That's right."

Chen Ba nodded and said: "Using the plot as a metaphor for the game itself, every time a player opens a new file, it is a world restart for these NPCs, forgetting the past and falling into an endless loop." ”

How to break the cycle?

As long as the player is not stupid, he will know it by this time.

When the brave disappears, a new demon king will be born, and then a new brave man will appear to continue the crusade against the demon king......

There is only one way to break the cycle, and that is that after the brave man knows the truth, he chooses to stay in the Divine Grace Continent and not return to the original world.

"Wonderful!"

Yang Dong exclaimed: "In this way, those players who have a strong sense of plot substitution and have a deep love for a certain NPC, even if they have cleared the customs, will often take a look at the game." ”

"On How to Retain Players"

The ending of this plot actually has only one core meaning, so that players who are brave know what impact their departure or opening a new file will have on these NPCs.

Commonly known as: moral kidnapping!

O brave! Can you bear to leave your loving wife and partner behind and leave alone? Can you bear to see your former comrades-in-arms and forget your existence?

If you can't bear it, then keep this archive and come up and check it out from time to time!

Moral kidnapping, while shameful, can work wonders for many players who are nostalgic for old love.

At least as soon as this ending comes out, there should be some players who are reluctant to uninstall the game "Divine Grace Continent".

Even if you've cleared the level, you'll still go to the game to take a look at it, even if you don't do anything, just take a look at the old guy, and the woman you love......

This is a skill that Chen Ba learned from a simulation management game, that is, to use the friendship between NPCs and players to increase the cost of abandonment of pits.

That's right!

The simulation game that Chen Ba said is the popular "Stardew Valley".

Players who have played this game should know that although this game is simple, it seems to have a high degree of freedom, and there are no rules.

But once you fall in love with the town and the NPCs in the town, the cost of abandoning the pit will become very high.

Although I don't think it's fun anymore and don't want to play anymore, I still feel itchy every once in a while, and I can't help but go to the game to take a look at my "wife", everyone in the town, and my farm......

The "cost of abandoning the pit" in the eyes of ordinary people may be how much money has been spent on this game and how long it has been played.

But many people ignore one point, that is, the feelings invested in the game are also a cost, and the cost is higher than that of simple kryptonite, and it is more difficult to give up.

The game of 100,000 krypton gold, you may not want to play it one day, and you will no longer be able to raise the motivation to play the game.

But when you meet a game NPC you particularly like, even if you haven't played that game for a long time, you will still have the urge to "go to the game and have a look".

That's the power of feelings!

Playing a game though, it may sound like a lot of nonsense to be emotionally invested in NPCs. But it's true, a lot of games have that effect.

Chen Ba hopes that "Divine Grace Continent" can also have this emotional effect, so that many players like the NPC partners in the game from the bottom of their hearts.

Many years later, when I heard the game "Divine Grace Continent" by chance, I would think of my companions and lovers who fought against the Demon King together......

If you do that, then the game is a success.
