Chapter 92: A Word Adventure Game Like No Other
Experience the store.
Chen Mo finally tested the plot of "Lifeline" again, and said to Su Jinyu and Zheng Hongxi: "Okay, it's passed." ”
"Yay! That's great! Su Jinyu couldn't help cheering.
This is equivalent to a game completed by her and Zheng Hongxi independently, and Chen Mo basically did not interfere, so it is very commemorative.
(If Chen Mo instructed Zheng Hongxi to change the plot seven or eight times, it would not be considered meddling.) )
Zheng Hongxi also breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face. Although Chen Mo asked to change the plot several times, and there were two or three major adjustments halfway through, it was finally completed.
In this process, Zheng Hongxi's understanding of the game's plot has been further improved, and his psychological control ability of players has also been enhanced to a certain extent.
Now Zheng Hongxi is also a little looking forward to it, what is the reaction of players to this game, and will they like his plot?
Chen Mo installed "Lifeline" on his mobile phone and handed it to Chang Xiuya: "Come on, be the first guinea pig." ”
……
Chang Xiuya was also a little curious.
These days, they all know that Su Jinyu and Zheng Hongxi are tossing a text adventure game, but they don't know what the game is and what the plot is.
There are a lot of text adventure games in this world, and it is a relatively classic game type, and many game designers who prefer the plot generally start with text adventure games.
Because this kind of game is so easy to do, all you need is a good script, and the rest is to buy a set of good-looking vertical paintings, and then spend money to hire someone to dub a voice.
However, because there are many text adventure games, it is difficult to make a difference in this field.
The text adventure games in this world are very similar to the previous life, and the themes are mainly focused on the two aspects of urban and ancient travel, because many text adventure games are aimed at female players, and female players ...... I like these two themes more.
Chang Xiuya herself usually plays text adventure games, but the text adventure games she encountered later are a bit the same, they are all the same mold and different stories, and it is easy to get tired after watching too much.
If the text adventure game only has a different plot, then it is better to read the female frequency novel!
Chang Xiuya was actually a little worried that the game "Lifeline" would be too similar to other text adventure games, but after thinking about it, this was personally checked by the store manager, and the store manager's game was ......
Well, except for "My Name is MT" which is a bit of a cheat, the creativity of the other games is great.
The game's icons are overall black, with a small figure on top of it and clothes that look like astronauts. In the upper right corner of the icon is a radio wave sign of unknown significance.
"Hmm...... Is it a science fiction theme? That's pretty rare. ”
Chang Xiuya clicked on the icon and started the game.
Entering the game, there is a small prompt window: "Lifeline is an interactive story told over the course of several days, Taylor will be in touch with you at all times, please allow this game to send you notifications, which may affect your gaming experience." ”
Chang Xiuya clicked the "Allow" button.
What appeared in front of her was an interface somewhat similar to chat software, and soon, message prompts popped up.
[Communication is being accessed]
【Connecting Being】
【Receiving Messages】
"Hey, hey?"
"Will this thing work?"
"Can anyone receive it?"
Three consecutive questions, Chang Xiuya was a little confused, and then looked at the two options below: [Who is talking? ] and [I received it].
Chang Xiuya felt that the meaning of these two sentences was similar, and it should not affect the decision later, so she clicked [I received].
"Oh, thank goodness! It's great to be able to reach someone! ”
"I've been waiting for hours!"
Two more options [Who are you?] and [What happened?] 】
Chang Xiuya thought about it for a while and felt that it was better to ask the other party's identity first, so she clicked [Who are you].
After these two choices, Chang Xiuya has understood the difference between this game and other text adventure games.
The whole game of Lifeline doesn't have those narrations and background descriptions, and its whole game is just a chat app, except that you don't talk to real people, but virtual characters in the game.
The game has made the game interface a somewhat sci-fi chat software interface, which is designed to create this sense of realism, including sending notification messages to players, but also to give players the illusion that someone is really talking to me.
Chang Xiuya began to chat with the astronaut named Taylor according to her feelings.
During the chat, Chang Xiuya learned that Taylor was originally an astronaut on a transport spacecraft, but it crashed on a certain satellite. However, Taylor is now in a state of cluelessness, he was a student, he was on board for experiments, and he was unprepared for how to survive such an emergency.
However, Taylor seems to be quite optimistic, and there is still a casual and elegant trick in this situation......
Chang Xiuya was also amused by this chatter.
"It seems that the ultimate task is to help this astronaut escape? It shouldn't seem that difficult, it should be easier to complete than those brain-opening palace fighting plots......" Chang Xiuya thought.
"There was a white mountain near me, a few miles away. But this mountain ...... It's a bit weird, it's symmetrical, and it doesn't feel like it's natural. ”
"As for the crash site of the Valia, it seems to be closer to me than the mountain, what do you think I should do?"
There are two options: Go to Crash Site and Go to Mountain.
Chang Xiuya quickly realized that this should be a more critical plot choice. Because Taylor had already hinted that the image of this mountain was rather strange and far away from him, it was obvious that he should go to the crash site!
Chang Xiuya chose [Go to the crash site].
"yes, it makes sense, there may be survivors there......"
"Alright, I'm heading south, and it feels like it's going to take at least an hour. I'll let you know when I'm there. ”
After saying this, the system prompts "Taylor busy".
Chang Xiuya was stunned, what do you mean?
There were no options for the next step, Taylor didn't speak again, and the game stopped at this point, without any hints.
Chang Xiuya looked at what Taylor said in front of her again.
"Could it be that you really won't contact me for an hour?!"
Chang Xiuya was a little confused, this was the first time she had encountered this kind of text adventure game, and she actually asked the player to wait for an hour?!
There was no way, Chang Xiuya could only do something else temporarily, she didn't dare to turn off the process, for fear that Taylor wouldn't receive the message when she contacted her.
