Chapter 203 Write the Plot of "Back to the Shore" Together!

The story of "Going Back to the Shore" takes place in ancient China, an unknown age. It was originally a small and peaceful village, but suddenly more and more people lost their three souls and seven souls and became wandering souls.

These people will gradually lose their memory, lose their minds, wander unconsciously, attack people with intact three souls and seven souls, and will unconsciously travel in a certain direction in the distance.

In the mouths of some survivors, that direction is called "Huangquan Road".

According to the old man in the village, the deceased will be captured by Black and White Impermanence and sent to the underworld to be judged by Yama, to decide whether they will be reincarnated as human beings, enter the six realms of reincarnation, or enter the eighteenth hell.

But for some reason, Black and White Impermanence no longer invites those who are about to die. Therefore, whether it is a person whose yang life has expired or a person who has died, they can only wander on Huangquan Road and cannot go to the underworld.

These wandering ghosts were instinctively inspired by the underworld, but they couldn't find the right way. Over time, they became more vicious.

As a result, the world gradually turned into purgatory.

The protagonist played by the player is an ordinary dying person, and the three souls and seven souls are already incomplete. It's just that he was in the dark, as if he felt that in a certain direction in the distance, something was calling him.

In order not to become an unconscious wandering ghost, and to explore the truth of all this, the protagonist sets foot on Huangquan Road and enters the underworld with the body of a mortal.

The process of the game is roughly divided into several parts:

The initial human village;

A town that has been completely occupied by wandering ghosts;

The dangerous gate of hell;

Huangquan Road, where there are a lot of ghosts wandering;

Santu River full of flowers on the other side;

Wangchuan River and Naihe Bridge at the end of Huangquan Road;

Wangxiang Terrace and Sansheng Stone by Naihe Bridge;

The magnificent Yama main hall;

The chaotic six realms of reincarnation;

The deepest hell...

In addition, the bosses in the game will also choose characters from traditional myths, such as Meng Po on the Naihe Bridge, and the four major judges of the underworld: Cha Cha Si Lu Zhidao, Punish the Evil Division Zhong Kui, Reward the Good Division Wei Zheng, and Yin Law Division Cui Jue (respectively). Purple, green, blue, orange four main colors), the ten temples of hell, Yama, etc.

In addition, according to President Pei's request, every time the player dies, all the mobs will be refreshed again, so there will be a Buddha statue at regular intervals for reception.

Dilapidated temples, Buddha statues, land temples, land statues and other elements will be distributed throughout the course.

In this worldview, there is no Buddha, only broken Buddha statues, suggesting the legendary era of the end of the Dharma.

The Buddha statue is a save point, allowing players to restore the state and refresh the surrounding mobs, while the land statue can collect nearby remnants to enhance the character's attributes.

All these contents are actually not much, because the budget is limited, so the whole game process is only about twelve or three hours. Of course, the premise is that the player is familiar enough with the battle and progresses steadily.

If you are a novice, the clearance time is likely to be extended to dozens of hours, or even infinite.

The game is not linear, and sometimes players need to turn back halfway to go to the next scene.

For example, at the very beginning, players have to go to the town occupied by the ghosts, defeat the ghosts gathered in the town, get initial enhancements, get some special props (beads, spells, etc.) to deal with the ghosts, and then return to the initial small village, Kill a dying old man and follow his soul to set foot on Huangquan Road.

If the player does not go to the town, but directly kills the old man and follows his soul on the Huangquan Road, it will be very difficult to fight on the road.

Similarly, on the main hall of Yama, players can also choose.

It is to go deep into the main hall of Yama, destroy all the judges and Yama, and become a real ghost;

Or enter the chaotic six-path reincarnation, reincarnate as a human being, and stay away from this terrible world;

Or go deep into the endless hell, kill the already crazy townspeople, and sacrifice their lives to suppress the wronged souls...

The game will have three to five endings, each of which depends on the player's choices at some key points.

The key tips for making these choices are hidden in the game's plot.

In the game, players will hear a few words from the NPC, and they can also kill some wandering spirits or bosses to capture the remaining memories of their three souls and seven souls, and obtain some memory fragments that can be read.

On some key props or scenes (such as Sansheng Stone), you can also get some very subtle hints through the hints of these props.

The scene of Sanshengshi can also be used repeatedly. With the different progress of the game, you can see different content every time you go to Sanshengshi, which affects some key plot twists.

Of course, when players go to different plot branches, there will be different monsters in the same location, and scene reuse can save some money.

These tips are the key to persuading foreign players.

Pei Qian didn't ask these tips to be written in poetry, after all, poetry is too difficult.

As long as it is written in a relatively obscure ancient language, it is enough to ensure that most people who have received nine years of compulsory education can guess the general meaning.

It's not that Pei Qian doesn't like poetry, the main reason is that even if they make such a request, Lu Mingliang and the others can't do it.

...

These are only preliminary designs.

In the early stage of game development, as long as you roughly determine the game's scene, boss, and story flow, and ensure that the preparatory work (such as art requirements) can be successfully completed.

More detailed content and details can be continuously improved during the development of the game, and some settings and content can also be changed at any time.

A group of horses told everyone in detail about the world view of the game and the work that everyone needs to be responsible for.

Relatively speaking, everyone is not interested in the work of screening drafts, but is more interested in the plot of the game "Back to the Shore".

Because so far, the quality of the manuscripts selected by the Chinese website of the end point is really not good.

If there were such a good book with an interesting beginning, a fast pace, a novel plot, and a compelling story, everyone's emotions might be more excited.

but no.

That is to say, no matter how you choose your manuscripts, it is basically impossible to have a hit that makes the entire website popular all at once.

As for instructing the author, that's even more nonsense. After all, most editors themselves know little about it, so what if they go to instruct others?

But the game "Back to the Shore" is different.

The latest masterpiece of Tenda Games!

Invest ten million!

President Pei himself took the knife!

No matter how you look at it, this game is definitely going to be a big hit. Even if you can't make a lot of money like "Fortress at Sea", you can definitely earn enough reputation like "Game Producer".

If you participate in the development of this game, and even write a story in the game yourself, then you can have a blast with your friends!

Zhu Anxing's eyes lit up after listening to Ma Yiqun's introduction.

"Brother Ma, I want to write!"

"Can we directly post the written content on our website? It can be regarded as the official novel of the game."

"We can divide a task, and each person is responsible for a part of the content, including the entire chronicle of the game, as well as the background stories of each boss and NPC in it, as a supplement to the game."

"It's not necessarily useful, but it's better than blinding us aimlessly and working behind closed doors."

A group of horses thought about it, and it seemed like the same thing.

Anyway, there is not much to do now, even if it is to write online articles by hand, many people do not know what to write about.

Then just write the plot of "Going Back to the Shore" together, and after writing it out, just select a part of the plot and put it in the game.

A group of horses nodded: "Yes, then everyone should think more about the plot of "Back to the Shore" after reviewing the manuscript."

"In the future, we will hold a meeting every week to discuss the design of the plot. I will give feedback to the project team."
