Chapter 184: Different endings of the game
In early April, Jiangning.
Good brother Zhong Sheng's great wedding, Chen Ba gave everyone a holiday, and went to join in the fun together, as the best man as the best man, and the best man should eat the feast......
Chen Ba is the best man today!
Also being the best man with him was Yang Dong, who was originally Xiao Lu also the best man, but because the quota was not enough, he was eliminated.
"Don't worry, Brother Ba!"
"Today, this is a bouquet of good luck, there are so many people in our studio, we must take it for you!"
Xiao Lu rolled up his sleeves and once again emphasized the main task of all the members of their Tianba Studio: to grab a bouquet of flowers for Brother Ba!
The main quest is a must-do.
In addition, there is also a hidden side quest, which is to take a look at the bride's bridesmaids to see if there are any candidates who match Brother Ba's vision.
As long as Brother Ba gives an order, the brothers are out today, and they must get their contact information for him, and the main one will do whatever it takes to get the "year-end bonus".
"Good, good!"
Chen Ba was very satisfied with Xiao Lu's statement, and he didn't even forget to solve his lifelong affairs at the banquet, Xiao Lu really deserved to be his confidant.
This year-end bonus must be issued in double copies.
But then again......
It's a good thing that Xiao Lu has this heart, but the bride's best friend, to be honest, Chen Ba really doesn't look down on it.
"Why can't you look at it? I look pretty good, Brother Ba, don't be too high-minded, these are all good girls......"
"Fart!"
Chen Ba pouted and said: "All the brides have given me the bottom, these girlfriends have either married or have boyfriends, do you want me to pry the corner?" β
"It's not impossible!"
Xiao Lu muttered in a low voice: "With Ling's conditions, if you really want to pry the corner, I feel that few girls can resist the temptation." β
Chen Ba: "......"
It's all too true!
The words are not rough, Xiao Lu is not wrong with what he said, if he really wants to pry the corner, he can solve the lifelong major event casually.
After all, he is too rich.
Although I don't want to complain, but today's society is so realistic and cruel, rich men, finding a girlfriend is easier than eating and drinking.
It is not surprising that even if you have money to a certain point, you can change your girlfriend more often than you change your clothes.
Chen Ba just didn't want to fall.
The reason why he is still single now, on the one hand, is because he has not met anyone he likes, and on the other hand, there are too many temptations around him, for fear of stepping on thunder and regretting it.
"Too much temptation?"
Xiao Lu doesn't understand this sentence very well, Brother Ba stays in the studio every day, and he doesn't step out of the door, where does the temptation come from?
"Then you might as well guess, why should I stay in the studio and not go out, and I don't want to participate in any activities?"
Chen Ba said one thing.
A few months ago, China Overseas held a medium-sized animation and game exhibition and invited Tianba Studio to participate.
He thought that Zhonghai was not far from Jiangning, and he was looking for a place to relax and change his mood after his busy work, so Chen Ba went to participate in this exhibition.
"And then?"
"Met a cute girl? People fall in love with you at first sight and don't let you go? Xiao Lu asked very gossipingly.
"Love at first sight? It's hard to say whether it's the person who likes me or my money! β
"Anyway, in the hotel where I live, someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night, and you take off your clothes when you come up, can you stand it?"
Chen Ba quipped: "If it weren't for the firm-willed buddy, I would have been able to ask a dozen Cosers who threw themselves into their arms on a trip to Zhonghai, and they would tremble when they came back and walked." β
"it!"
Xiao Lu was envious.
How did this not happen to him? He also participated in a lot of exhibitions, why didn't Coser in fancy dress throw himself in the middle of the night?
"Then you have to reflect on it, is it possible that the reason why people don't give you a hug is because your wallet is not bulging enough?"
Chen Ba smiled, uncovered this slightly embarrassing topic and said, "Okay, don't mention this kind of thing again." β
Cleansing is the bottom line.
Chen Ba is rich and rich, but he really doesn't like this kind of overly depraved and extravagant life. He is more in pursuit of spiritual satisfaction, that is, career success.
Making games is addictive.
Especially after the game you make is recognized and loved by countless players, the sense of accomplishment and pleasure is much stronger than this material enjoyment.
"I understand, you're Nantong!"
Xiao Lu showed an unfortunate expression, and hurriedly widened the distance between him and Brother Ba, for fear of being affected by him.
"Get out of the way and ......"
Chen Ba's nose was almost crooked, and he couldn't figure out how Xiao Lu came to the conclusion that he liked men, even if he liked the Tie Hanhan system, he wouldn't like men!
"Oops, it's fine."
"Brother Ba, don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you, and I won't tell anyone else."
Xiao Lu said with a smile: "As long as you don't beat my idea, no matter who you like in our studio, I will help you assist." β
"Alright, don't talk nonsense......"
Chen Ba waved his hand, too lazy to continue arguing with Xiao Lu, and took advantage of the fact that the wedding banquet had not yet started, and decisively changed the topic: "Do you have any thoughts on the ending of "Global Evolution"? β
"The ending of the game?"
Xiao Lu touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
The game has reached the point where it should be, and the main line and branch lines are also very clear and clear, but everyone has their own opinions about the ending of the game "Global Evolution".
There are certainly different versions of the ending.
Depending on the different evolution routes that players choose when playing, as well as the completion of the plot branches, the ending achieved after clearing the customs is also different.
Happy end doesn't have to say.
Good endings, everyone can come up with several casually, and each ending is very satisfying, which is not difficult for everyone at all.
But the bad ending, that is, the ending with regrets, everyone is a little timid, and they don't dare to speak out to express their attitudes and ideas.
"That's what I thought......"
Xiao Lu spoke his mind.
In the bad ending, the male protagonist will definitely have regrets, and this regret can only be made up for by the second and third weeks.
Regret comes from all sides.
The people or cities that can be guarded, but failed to protect in the end, are the main quests that can be completed but can't be completed.
The male protagonist is not omnipotent.
When you play a week, you will definitely leave irreparable regrets for various reasons. This regret is mainly due to the death of some plot characters.
They can live, but die because of the player's choices or imperfections......
"For example, my sister Chen Jia!"
Xiao Lu pointed out that if you want to create an ending full of regrets that players can't help but want to go back and clear the level again, it must have the death of a heavyweight as a foreshadowing.
Obviously, it's time for the tool man sister to go out again!
In the plot, the bond between the male protagonist and his sister can be made stronger, so that the death of the sister will be valuable, and it will also make the player desperately want to achieve a perfect ending.
"Not bad!"
Chen Ba nodded, indicating that his sister could indeed be sacrificed.
But in addition to the younger sister, you can actually get a few NPC teammates and partners for the protagonist. These characters helped the male protagonist a lot, but he died in the end.
How did he die?
Of course, it is the foreshadowing of various side quests in the early and middle stages, and if players do not check the game strategy in advance and focus on a main line speedrun, then these characters may encounter doom.
In addition to the ending of the plot, the ending of the evolutionary route is also important.
Depending on the player's genre and evolutionary style, it will lead to different endings, which is also a good branching option.
For example, if the player obtains the extremely precious Vermilion Bird bloodline, at the end of the game, there is a high probability that he will turn into a real Vermilion Bird Divine Beast.
I'm not a man, JoJo!
Different evolution routes, when you hit the last scene of the game, you will naturally trigger different settlement animations to achieve different achievement endings.
There is no optimum.
There is no optimal option or worst option in evolution, it is just that the route is different, the ability obtained is different, and the final outcome is also different.
When playing this game, players should not blindly choose the direction and route of evolution, because this is the key moment that can determine the outcome of the game.
"That's a bit of a lot!"
"Roughly calculated, there are dozens of endings for different evolutionary routes alone, and there are almost a hundred endings for the plot, right?" Xiao Lu sighed.
"It's fine, it's just that it sounds like a lot."
Chen Ba shook his head.
There are more than 100 endings, although it sounds exaggerated, but in fact, the ending of the game is roughly the same.
The male protagonist eventually became the leader of the Terrans, leading the Terrans to regain their position as the overlord of the earth, creating a new era of martial arts, and marching into outer space......
These more than 100 endings are just based on this background, creating some small regrets or small changes for the male protagonist.
"It really doesn't have a big impact."
Xiao Lu suddenly laughed and said: "It doesn't feel as exciting as "Cold Window Reading Simulator", at least it's the real heaven and hell." β
Either you are admitted to the school of your choice, or you are not admitted, these two endings are one day and one place.
On the other hand, "Global Evolution".
As long as you insist on playing to the end, there may be some small regrets in the ending, but overall it is still very satisfying, at least the male protagonist has reached the top of the martial arts, and there is no collapse of the middle way.
"That's for sure......"
"There doesn't seem to be that kind of 3A game, deliberately erasing the player's efforts for dozens of hours, and then the bamboo basket is empty, right?" Chen Ba asked rhetorically.
Triple-A games, especially this kind of triple-A role-playing games, no matter how many variants and derivatives there are in the final ending, the core point will not change, that is, the protagonist of the game will definitely succeed.
You can't fool around!
Small game,Play to the end of the bamboo basket to hit the water.,The male protagonist worked hard for a long time.,It turned out that it was just a dream.γ
But in this kind of triple-A game, the entire game process is dozens of hours long, and the energy and time cost invested by players in it cannot be erased.
If a game developer has to do a good job and tells the player "this is actually a dream" after dozens of hours of hard work, your efforts will be in vain......
Excuse me!
If you dare to tease players like this, the result must be miserable, and the anger of players will make the game developers pay an unbearable price.
Dude worked hard for dozens of hours, and you told me it was just a dream?
What is the difference between this and watching a multi-million-word online article and chasing a TV series with dozens of episodes, but nothing has changed at the end, and the protagonist has returned to the starting point?
Are you kidding!
Assuming that Chen Ba is an ordinary player, seeing this kind of ending, his mentality will definitely explode, and he can't make up for it.
He had read a book before, and the ending was like this, the two protagonists teamed up to make a game, but the author was sprayed into a bad pen by the reader, so he had to revise the ending overnight.
It's the same with games.
This kind of joke really can't be made, and players definitely can't accept it.
If players were to choose the ending of the game they hated the most, the ending "Waking Up Just a Dream" would definitely be at the top of the list.
Because of this ending, it really seems that the player is too clown.
Everyone has been playing for so long, you can say that this is just a dream, isn't this teasing me? No matter how bad and disgusting the ending is, it is much better than "it's just a dream".
"It does ......"
Xiao Lu strongly agrees with this.
It's just a dream, and it's too hard for the player, and no one will dare to do it unless they're brain-dead.
Even if the plot can't be written, you can get a mechanical sΓ©ance for the male and female protagonists, and happyend can exit like lightning!
"Speaking of which, the plot of "Global Evolution" is still quite obvious compared to previous generations of games......
Chen Ba said with great satisfaction: "Just the biographies of various characters and background setting documents add up to almost 500,000 words. β
To be reasonable, this amount of work is not much worse than writing a book.
You know, the pure background and character settings are as many as 500,000 words, counting various main and side plots, it is definitely possible to make up 1 million words.
What is the concept of 1 million words?
This amount of text has surpassed any previous game. It can be called the game with the richest background world view, the fullest character settings, and the most complete plot in the history of Tianba Studio, and there is no one!
For this reason, Chen Ba also came up with an idea.
After Zhong Shengwei's wedding is over and he returns to the studio, he plans to contact a top online writer to write a book with the same name around the million-word content of "Global Evolution".
When the time comes, it will be published and sold as a game peripheral, and interested players can also buy a book to read and collect.
"It feels like it's okay!"
Zhong Shengwei, who was toasting from table to table with a wine glass, suddenly came behind the two and said: "If there really is such a book, I'm not sure if it's good or not, but gamers should be very interested." β
"That's for sure."
Chen Ba thought of a copy of "League of Legends Setting Book" that he had bought.
The content of that book, reasoning, is very boring for people who don't play games, and they will doze off at a glance.
But for players who play the game and are interested in the game's worldview and the story behind the heroes, that book is wonderful.
This is also the reason why Chen Ba wants to hire someone to write game customization.
It may seem boring to outsiders, but for players of this game, it is not generally interesting.
Through this book, players can also learn more about Global Evolution, expand the popularity and influence of the game, and kill two birds with one stone!
