Chapter 791 Brave New World(1/2)
With Sen Xia's full dedication, a story about an eroge gentleman's online game was finally sorted out.
The name of this project was originally planned by Mori Xia to be called Sun in Another World, or Sun in Another World. In English, it is "fantasy_oy", or "fmd" for short.
In fact, if possible, Mori Xia really wanted to call this game "Sun Travel to Another World" or something, but unfortunately, English is not as broad and profound as Chinese characters, so it was not successful.
Although Senxia thought of this name, it was not adopted.
"Too ordinary." This is Qianjia's evaluation.
"Well... maybe we can have a better choice?" This was Lao Xu's euphemistic suggestion.
"I believe Teacher Xia Mori will definitely think of a good name, please don't give up on yourself." This is the second generation teacher who cheered for Mori Xia after seeing Mori Xia's name.
What a scam, this is it!
Senxia almost turned the table over.
It's such an interesting name, why do you two look down on it so much?
The word "日" has quite a connotation, okay!
...Okay, although this is a good meme, it is a pity that not many people know this meme, let alone Japan, even in a large Eastern country.
Well, in the end, Senxia had to admit that without the support of connotation, his name was indeed a bit lo-y.
In the end, the person who finalized the name for the entire game was Mr. Nidaime.
"Let's call it Brave New World! The English name is beautiu1_od, how about it?"
As for Brave New World, people from a certain large Eastern country should know more about the science fiction article called "brave_ne_od", so when using the English name, Mr. Nidaime used the noun beautiu1_od, and the abbreviation is b
.
Compared with "fantasy_od", which is a relatively vulgar noun, "Beautiful World" is obviously more poetic and has a beautiful meaning. When they can't think of a better name, everyone agrees that this name is better.
.
So in the end, the name of the game was confirmed to be "Brave New World", which can be regarded as the world's first commercial 18-year-old online game.
After determining the basics, the programmers continued to write the structure of the game, while the planners began to determine values for the game, etc., and the scripts began to design the story, and everyone began to act in an orderly manner.
Although the basic elements are there, this game does not have anything like BGM. Senxia is not planning to make too complicated BGM. After all, if this game really wants to make BGM seriously, then this huge
A world that can definitely drive all composers crazy.
And if the entire story world uses simple BGM and it is the same everywhere, it will be really painful.
So the way Sen Xia thought of at this time was to simply not use BGM!
Although he doesn't want BGM, Senxia has very high requirements for the script. After all, he is 18, and the words are indeed the most important.
According to Senxia's idea, every player can develop their own unique story after using the yoa option to create their own character. This kind of story is what Senxia wants to see most.
For example, a player chooses a girl for role-playing. As long as the player is good, he can completely let his character live a wonderful life that is completely different from other characters. He can even write the story of this girl as
A story. Mori Xia had already thought of a name for this story, so it was called "I Can't Defile the Sky When I Become a Beautiful Girl."
Okay, the example is nonsense.
Although it is nonsense, it also represents Senxia's philosophy.
The total number of players scheduled for this game is probably around 00~5000. Considering it is a word game, so out of luck, there may not even be 1000 people.
In this situation where there are few players, the player's experience is almost never exactly the same. Using the feature of random generation, players can experience a unique game life every time they play.
"It's really good..."
After arriving at yoa's office, Senxia looked at yoa's options.
"If you want to start your life over, what kind of life would you like to live? You have 100 rebirth points to choose from."
"You will get a starting score of 100 points, and you will spend this score to exchange for new abilities. When you finally complete the character creation, you must ensure that your score is positive."
"1. New body: You will choose your body. The body you choose here is the body you will have when you reach the age of 18. The role you play will grow to this level after the age of 18.
Races: Humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, gnomes, StarClan...
Gender: Male/Female/Bisexual
Skin color: pale, rosy, wheat-colored, yellow, brown, brown, black and other normal skin colors that exist in reality
Color: black, white, platinum, golden, brown, linen, red, brown and other normal colors that exist in reality
Eye color: black, brown, brown, blue, green, red and other normal eye colors that exist in reality
Body: slender, athletic, plump, muscular, obese
Height: judged based on race.
Cups: A~F cups are available.
Appearance: The appearance of the character you play. If you customize your own appearance, this appearance will be optimized or de-optimized in the direction you choose.
Ugly: Your appearance is below par, but maybe your heart is beautiful? + Score.
Average: Your appearance is about average, neither beautiful nor ugly, score o.
Excellent: You have an appearance above the standard, which is the so-called Internet celebrity face, -1o score
Outstanding: Your appearance is above ten thousand people, you are the top star and model, -score.
Perfect: You have had a perfect appearance since you were a child. No matter where you are, you are the most shining one among the crowd. If you choose to design your own appearance, this option will optimize your designed appearance into the best appearance.
-5o points.
2. Characteristics: These options will become the strengths you are good at in your new life, or the advantages of your body...
3. Family: You can decide your family situation and your family members here...
Fourth, experience: You can choose the age you started here, or the things you have experienced."
This selection is very detailed, covering everything from appearance to strengths to family.
The body options are actually more about giving players a sense of immersion.
For example, some people can make a flat-chested loli, others can make a cute girl with a big face, etc. In addition, they can also make cute boys or tomboys.
These parts have very little impact on the variables of the entire script. Among them, the most influential one is probably the aspect of appearance. According to Mr. Nidaime’s explanation, appearance is actually a very big variable. For the same thing, two people with different appearances will
Personally, I met the good-looking one and finally solved the problem, but the ugly one was in a deadlock because no one helped. Therefore, in terms of score selection, a perfect appearance requires a lot of scores.
In addition, players can also choose their starting experience and so on.
Generally speaking, the game starts at 18 years old, but in fact, players can also choose to start from scratch.
For many players, wearing baby clothes is something they like to see. Senxia can also do this under extreme circumstances. If this is the case, players need to develop their own characters from scratch.
However, at this point, Mr. Nidaime also raised a question, that is, the year, month and day in the game. Although it can be as enjoyable as possible when setting it, the issue of age is a big problem.
Some people want to develop their characters from a young age, but if time progresses very slowly, then these people will have to be children all their lives; if the story time progresses quickly, when these children grow up,
Others may be already old.
Sen Xia advocates freedom in the game, but this problem does give Sen Xia a little headache, because in this case, the time and space in the game will become a big problem.
At this time, there is a strategy, that is, no matter the time, no matter what happens in the game, the time period will not change. This is a method adopted by many online games.
However, what Senxia wanted to do was to use a more interesting method.
That's a dynamic event.
To put it simply, the player will have an impact on the entire story.
But there is a problem with this, that is, as the story progresses, age and time are difficult to solve.
"If you want to ensure freedom, you must sacrifice rationality and game logic." After encountering this situation, Lao Xu put forward his own opinion.
At this time, Lao Xu also finished reading the design made by the second generation.
In the character's experience, each option can choose several experiences, and each experience corresponds to a different plot.
For example, if you become a beggar, you will follow the beggar's route, and if you become a noble, it will be a noble plot. Because of the different plots, what happens later will also change the entire story.
Moreover, some of these contents are also random.
For example, if you become a princess, you may play the role of a carefree princess of a small country, but it may also be that the country is facing various problems, etc.
However, the question raised by Nidaime-sensei is indeed a slightly concerning point.
The plot seems to have no problem, but the design at this time does seem to be a problem.
"Well...if it doesn't work, we will sacrifice a little bit of the game to fix the time in the game. The player's time will be based on his or her own game progress..."
There are many solutions to this problem.
The first one is naturally to remove the setting of baby clothes, because this setting does not seem to be very necessary for the gameplay. However, Senxia prefers this setting because it can better take into account substitution.
feel.
Another method is to remove the time setting, so that each player is in an independent space... But in this case, the game will be a single-player game, which feels a little painful.
In addition, another method is to let the players be in a dungeon world before the "adventure" begins. This dungeon world is similar to the setting of Mei. Girls' Dream Factory. Players can develop their own characters. And if the player chooses
Stop training and set foot in the world, or if you reach 18 years old, leave the dungeon and enter the real world. But in this case, the entire system will undoubtedly be more complicated. Is there really no problem with this?
