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

These people will gradually lose their memories and lose their minds, wander unconsciously, attack people with 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 known as "Huangquan Road."

According to the elders of the village, the people who originally died would be captured by Black and White Impermanence and sent to the Netherworld to be judged by Yama to decide whether they would be reincarnated as human beings and enter the six realms of reincarnation, or the eighteen layers of hell.

But for some reason, black and white impermanence no longer leads those who are about to die, so whether it is a person whose life has reached the end of his life or a person who has died, he can only wander on the Huangquan Road and cannot go to the underworld.

These wandering ghosts are instinctively inspired by the netherworld, but they can't find the right way, and over time, they become more ferocious.

As a result, the world gradually turned into purgatory.

The player takes on the role of an ordinary dying man, whose three souls and seven spirits are incomplete. It's just that he is in the dark, as if he senses that in a certain direction in the distance, something is calling him.

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

The flow of the game is broadly divided into several parts:

The first small village on earth;

Towns that have been completely overrun by geistes;

the ghost gate of the terrain is dangerous;

Huangquan Road, which is roamed with a large number of ghosts;

the Santu River, which is full of flowers on the other side;

the Lechuan River and the Nai He Bridge at the end of Huangquan Road;

However, the Wangxiang Terrace and Sansheng Stone by the bridge;

the imposing main hall of Yama;

the chaotic six realms of reincarnation;

The deepest infernal hell......

In addition, the bosses in the game will also choose characters from traditional mythology, such as Meng Po on the Nai He Bridge, the four judges of the underworld: Chacha Si Lu Zhidao, Punishment of Evil Si Zhong Kui, Reward Si Wei Zheng, Yin Law Si Cui Jue (with purple, green, blue, orange four main colors respectively), the ten halls of the underworld Yama and so on.

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

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

There is no Buddha in this worldview, only broken Buddha statues, hinting at the legendary era of the end of the Dharma.

The Buddha Statue is a save point, allowing the player to regenerate and refresh the surrounding mobs, while the Earth Statue is a remnant that can be collected nearby to enhance the character's stats.

All of this isn't really much, because of the limited budget, the whole game is only about twelve or thirteen hours, of course, provided that the player is familiar enough with the combat to progress steadily.

If you are a novice, it is very likely that the clearance time will be extended to dozens of hours, or even infinitely.

The game is not linear, and sometimes the player needs to turn back halfway to get to the next scenario.

For example, at the beginning, the player must first go to the town occupied by the ghosts, defeat the unjust spirits gathered in the town, obtain initial enhancements, get some special items to deal with the spirits (Buddhist beads, charms, etc.), and then return to the original small village, kill a dying old man, and follow his soul to set foot on the Yellow Spring Road.

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

Similarly, on the main hall of Yama, the player 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 realms of reincarnation, reincarnate and reincarnate as a new human being, away from this terrible world;

Or go deep into the Infernal Hell, kill the people who have gone crazy, and sacrifice their lives to suppress the unjust souls......

The game is set with three to five endings, each of which depends on the player's choice at a number of key points.

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

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

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

This kind of scene can also be used repeatedly, and with the different game progression of the player, different content can be seen on the Sansheng Stone every time, affecting some key plot twists.

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

These tips are the key to dissuading foreign players.

Pei Qian did not ask these prompts to be written in poems, after all, the difficulty of poems is too high.

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, it's mainly that even if they make this kind of request, Lu Mingliang and they can't do it.

……

These are just preliminary designs.

In the early stage of game development, as long as the scene, boss, and story flow of the game are roughly determined, and the preliminary preparation work (such as putting forward 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 be changed at any time.

The group of horses explained in detail the worldview of the game and the work that everyone needs to be responsible for.

Relatively speaking, people are not interested in the work of drafting manuscripts, but are more interested in the plot of the game "Back to the Shore".

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

If there is a good book that has an interesting beginning, a fast pace, a novel plot, and an engaging plot, everyone may be more excited.

But, no.

In other words, no matter how you choose your manuscript, it is basically impossible for a popular book to make the entire website popular all at once.

As for guiding the author, it is even more nonsense, after all, most editors themselves know a little about it, and then guide others, what if it is not helpful?

But "Turning Back" is a different game.

The latest masterpiece of Tengda Games!

Invest 10 million!

Mr. Pei personally handled it!

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

If you participate in the development of this game, or even write a plot in the game by hand, then you can blow it up with your friends at that time!

Zhu Anxing listened to Ma Qun's introduction, and his eyes lit up.

"Brother Ma, I want to write!"

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

"We can divide the task and each person is responsible for a part of the content, including the entire chronicle of the game, as well as the backstory of the various bosses and NPCs in it, as a supplement to the game."

"It's not necessarily useful, but it's better than if we were aimlessly blind and behind closed doors."

Ma Group thought about it, and it seemed to be the same thing.

Anyway, there is nothing to do now, even if it is to write online articles by hand, many people don't know what subject to write.

Then let's just write the plot of "Turning Back" together, and after writing it, just select a part of the plot and put it in the game.

Ma Yiqun nodded: "Yes, then let's think more about the plot of "Back to the Shore" in addition to reviewing." ”

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