"There's still a week to go until the exam, and I'm still working......"

Sitting in the office of Company A, Mori Xia was thinking about a problem.

"Although the sales volume has broken the record of Galgame, compared to our other games, this kind of sales can only be said to be ordinary. Lihua next to her walked over, and then brought the brewed black tea to Sen Xia.

"Well, it's not quite like Plants vs. Zombies, Sin Crown RPGs, and Lelouch the Rebel, but it's a trend. ”

This kind of RPG, SLG and even casual games have far surpassed FATE in sales, and even Zuma and Bejeweled released two months ago have crushed the current FATE, and they are rushing for millions of sales.

"But we have to see that this is just a literal work, and if it becomes an action game or a JRPG game, the sales of this game can at least double...... No, ten times as much as you can. ”

And what's more important is that the fans of the type moon belong to the kind of die-hard ones, although some people think that "100,000 Moon Kitchen" is a sarcasm, but don't say, it is precisely because of these die-hard loyalists that the type moon finally made one game after another, which is an irrefutable fact.

"Really?" Lihua doesn't know much about games, although she has been trying to understand the games she plays as much as possible in the past two years, but Lihua still doesn't know much about this chaotic game world.

"Of course, no matter how high-quality games appear in Galgame, there is no way for this game itself to log into the Hall of Elegance. ”

This is biased, but it is also determined by the niche nature of the wordplay itself.

Check out the games that came later, such as Heavy Rain, Phantom Killer, Quantum Shatter, and more.

These games, in terms of game mode, are the same as the current game mechanics, choosing to guide the story to change, and the interaction with each feeling will affect the development of the subsequent story. And games like Life is Strange, which are clearly in the form of a complete galgame.

The only difference is that these games are all in 3D, while text AVG games, in a sense, are not even 2D, they can only be said to be 1.5D - because the essence of the content in this kind of game is actually in words.

For example, the game FATE, although the character setting of this game is good, but if there is only a setting and no story support, or in the story, Emiya Shirou is a scumbag who has been abandoned from the beginning, and Rin Tosaka is a gold worshipper, and Artoria is a brainless comic, who will really be interested in such a story?

This is the embarrassing situation that Galgame is facing now.

In the face of this situation, even Sen Xia has no way to save it - words are naturally the most unfavorable form of communication.

Moreover, the times have the limitations of the times, and now that we are about to enter the 21st century, the picture is the mainstream.

Developing Heartbeat Memories in the 80s and 90s is art and epic, the beauty and joy of the gaming industry, and developing Heartbeat Memories in the 21st and 20s is mindless – but if you swap Heartbeat Memories for a fully interactive cinematic show with a VR feature, then it's avant-garde.

It was because Mori Xia was able to see what would happen twenty years from now that he knew what the current game lacked and why the Galgame industry was in decline.

In Senxia's opinion, if word games can be turned into other types of games, as long as the game system has certain characteristics, this story may be accepted by more people.

But in the mud bombardment, this kind of thing is very difficult, in the mud bombardment to be highly innovative, sometimes it will be a very difficult thing, because to be innovative, it means that you are different from others, you are different from others, it will cause other people's hostility, you will be isolated, you will be disgusted.

In Mud Bombardment, there is a tradition of liking blood type A and hating blood type B.

Neon Gold has a long history of superstitious blood type personalities, and they even define blood types: people with blood type A are usually more sensitive perfectionists, but sometimes they are overly worried, people with blood type B are happier, but more selfish and self-centered, people with blood type O are curious, more generous, but also stubborn and stubborn, and people with blood type AB are artistic, but more mysterious and unpredictable.

Of course, this is a more euphemistic way of saying about blood type B, but the general summary is that people with blood type A are similar to the national nature of neon gold, while people with blood type B are the opposite of the national nature of neon gold.

Yes, the reason is as simple as that.

So, can we innovate in the mud bombardment?

As long as you are a strong leader, you can definitely innovate on this side of the mud bombardment!

For example, the strict old man Yamauchi Pu.

Why is Yamauchi Pu so strict with Ren Hell and the third party? This is not only because of his personality, but also because only in this way can he establish Yamauchi Pu's authority over Ren Hell and have authority, and with authority, he can let Ren Hell play according to his own ideas.

In the golden age of the eighties and nineties, Mr. Yamauchi Pu can be said to be one of the biggest contributors.

The Galgame industry has never had such a strong leader, everyone wants to try something new, but they can't find a direction, and even later, Omi Ghost Beast has made a game like Strange Life, and the form of the Galgame industry is still text and images, or the form of twenty years ago.

No change, no change, it's business as usual.

And then...... And then there was no then.

This is the sadness of the mud bombing industry.

So, when Nasu said that he wanted to do something like an action game, Mori Xia was actually quite supportive.

Come to think of it, Tsukihime R is a game with a similar interactive cinematic mode, so don't players have to scream?

"But the Black Souls version of FATE?"

It sounds interesting, Mori Xia has fantasized about it before, but Mori Xia never expected that Nasu Mushroom would take out all the heroines of FATEGO in the future.

Hey, hey, hey, she is the heroine of the top ten kryptonite lists in the world in the future, and now she is here, is there really no problem?!

Senxia felt a little subtle.

Although it can't be compared with games like Monster Marbles and Azure Fantasy, FATEGO is definitely a strange existence on the future krypton gold list.

Now that the heroine is using it, Mori Xia has no objection, but the thoughts on Nasu's side are too unrestrained.

"I hope the future Moon Chef won't beat me ......"

The girl fell in love with her sister and was scourged, and Lelouch was also scourged, and Naye was about to be harmed by Mori Natsu, and now FATE...... Well, this was harmed by Nasu himself.

As soon as he thought of this, Senxia was much more relaxed.

If it was Lelouch's fans and Naye's fans who wanted to come over to fight Mori Xia, then Sen Xia was still speechless, but if Moon Kitchen came to the door, Sen Xia could completely throw the pot to Nasu.

However, Mori Xia's thoughts are slightly different from Nasu's.

Nasu's side wanted to use Matthew as the heroine, but Mori Xia thought of a more liberal angle.

In the Gaiden "Magical Girl Illya",There is a system of "Dream Summoning",To put it bluntly,It's to use the card of the Heroic Spirit COS to become the appearance of the Heroic Spirit.,And then you have the ability of the Heroic Spirit to kill.。

Senxia feels that this system is more diverse.

However, if you use Illya or Miyu, another heroine of a magical girl, as a character, the difficulty of this cute painting style and black soul, Sen Xia still feels a little awkward.

Then, the easiest way is to pinch people.

How about fabricating a character that belongs to the player himself?

But Nasu doesn't seem to be good at such a high-freedom story.

In Nasu's story, in all of his plots, the main characters are participants with distinct personalities.

But when you create your own character, it's a little more subtle.

This kind of story layout is actually very difficult, so in many stories, this kind of self-pinching protagonist often becomes a bystander of the story rather than a participant - because the scope of customization of the protagonist is too large, so many stories that require a protagonist with a distinct personality to be able to play will be restricted, dancing in shackles, which is definitely a difficult thing.

For example, in the game Dark Souls and Bloodborne, everyone remembers NPCs or bosses like Erwuzai White Dragon or Sister Nun, and for the protagonist...... Well, the most impressive ones are probably the Sun Knight with the appearance of an ancient god and the Moon Knight with a strange chin.

These two so-called "knights" are not actually the characters given by the story itself, but the characters that the player builds and shapes when playing the game - it is not the story that shapes this character, but the player himself.

So it's a delicate matter, because that's not what Nasu is good at, he's better at creating characters with strong personalities than creating characters that the player can bring in.

“...... Isn't this the case with Sword and Fairy Gaiden?" After Sen Xia told Lihua about her troubles, Lihua thought of another game in the making, "Doesn't it feel like this?"

"The fairy sword is a story...... That's not the same.,In that game,,Although the player's role is a participant,But at the beginning, there is also a certain 'spectator' attribute.,There are a lot of NPCs in the whole story.,Can help shape the character and story of the protagonist.,The player can empathize and identify with the character itself.,Although the main creation of the script is also Nasu and Lao Xu.,But the dominant person is Lao Xu.,Old Void is more experienced.,Can grasp it.,Nasu's words......" Mori Xia shook his head, and then dragged the topic back," According to Nasu's previous description to me, what he wanted to create was a game similar to Dark Souls, with very few dialogues and plots in it, and it would be more troublesome for such a game to create a protagonist. ”

It's okay if there are many plots, like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls are like this.

"Qiu Senwan", "Old Popsicle", "Grabbing Root Treasure", although the image itself does not appear, but the rich plot makes players empathize with the characters they have created, and thus identify with the characters.

"I still don't understand. Lihua tilted her head.

"Let's put it this way, to put it simply, in this kind of face-pinching game, the characters represent more of the player's own values and worldview, but the characters in Nasu's pen are all distinctive, so this is a bit of a problem. ”

FOR EXAMPLE, IN FATEGO, NASU SAID THAT "THE PLAYER IS THE PROTAGONIST IN IT", BUT IN FACT, THE PLAYER IS NOT THE KIND HERO AND HEROINE IN THE STORY, BUT A RAGING GRUNT GRUNT - GRUNT IS THE HEROINE OF FATEGO'S OFFICIAL SPOOF COMICS, A CHAOTIC AND EVIL GUY WITH INFINITE COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS.

It is based on the understanding of Nasu that Mori Xia is a little worried about the story.

What's more, Nasu of the previous world line may have some progress in the future, but Nasu, who is in this world, seems to be even worse in this area.

Well, to put it simply, the old void and Miyazaki Eiko in this world are all powerful versions, but this Nasu ...... How does it look so castrated?

It's really embarrassing.

"Or else...... Roll up your sleeves?"

Senxia muttered inwardly.

Today's Senxia, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a "master", he knows routines and stories, and it is not a problem for Senxia to do it himself.

But Sen Xia thought about it, didn't he still have to do the Illya route on his side? At this time, he went to make a new game, isn't it a pain?

Turning the Illya route into an action game or something, Sen Xia also considered it, but then Sen Xia gave up, because the plot of the Illya route is very heavy, and it can be made into an interactive movie type, but if you want to put it in the black soul, it is probably inexplicable.

"Forget it, don't let Nasu think about this matter yet, let him concentrate on writing the script for the interactive movie. Sen Xia finally said, "As for the follow-up project, wait for the interactive movie version on his side to be produced." ”

In the end, Senxia made such a decision.

"But it's a good idea, hmm, but maybe it would be better to make it into a JRPG?"

At this time, Senxia had a game in mind - Persona.

Persona can be said to be the king of JPRG - the phrase "P5 is the best in the world!" is not just a joke.

So, the FATE series, should you move closer to the direction of Persona's production?

The mode of Dark Souls and the mode of Persona, these two modes suddenly appeared in Sen Xia's mind, but he didn't know which mode he should choose at this time.

The future is uncertain, no matter what the mode, such a version of FATE has not appeared in "history", the closest is the new chapter of FATE in the RPG, but that series is also a little subtle.

Mori Xia wasn't sure which would be more popular, and he fell silent.

You can't do it together, right?

......

I've said it N times.,Teako and the magical girl Illya have nothing to do with it.,Why is there always someone who gets involved in the dream summoning?

It's okay to say that!

Atako is much earlier than the magical girl Illya!

By the way, one of the authors is blood type B......

Two in one, meow~
