So the interface changed again, and a brass book slowly unfolded in front of Alice. The terms displayed on it were also familiar to her: RPG (role-playing game), ACT (action game), FPS (first-person shooter),
CAG (card game), RAC (racing game), SLG (strategy game)... there are many types, including the more imaginative GAL (girl love game).
For a game, choosing its game type is equivalent to choosing its audience, market and development direction.
As a veteran player, Alice certainly knows that different game types have their own advantages and disadvantages. Even the most niche types have the support of their die-hard fans. It would be better to say that the more niche the game, the easier it is to have die-hard fans. But
This is not important, because there is no so-called game market in a different world in the 19th century. The question that Alice needs to consider most now is, for a beginner, what type of game is easier to make? p>
I don't want to make classic masterpieces like "The Elder Scrolls" and "GTA", but at least it can't be as bad as "Blood○" and "E○ Alien" - taking into account the psychological feelings of the person involved, Alice very considerately offered
Their names have been silenced.
It must be carefully considered.
So Alice fell into deep thinking. After thinking deeply for about ten seconds, she controlled the controller without hesitation and pressed one of the options: "In my words, it's really the King's Journey, role-playing game."<
/p>
That's right, she chose the role-playing game, abbreviated as RPG, which is perhaps the oldest, most popular, and most widely-audienced game type in the world. Except for pure puzzle games, most games have
There are certain role-playing elements. On the other hand, role-playing games can accommodate a variety of elements. Even if it is not limited to video games, posting fishing posts on forums can also be regarded as a kind of role-playing...
…
Ahem, in short, the form of RPG games is very simple and clear, but the core is extremely profound. Game producers who are good at this can use the simplest materials to create classics that transcend the times. A novice who knows nothing about role-playing can just keep in mind the principles of role-playing.
If you follow the core and follow the rules, you can still produce qualified works.
After Alice made her choice, the other options on the brass page slowly faded away, leaving only the RPG (Role Playing Game) option. Then, with the sound of gears clicking, the brass book turned to the next page.
, the category shown above is: [World Background].
There are still many branch options: ancient hegemony, medieval religion, magic fantasy, space fantasy, virtual world, cyberpunk... But these options are almost all gray and cannot be selected. Only one option is lit: steam fantasy.
.
"Isn't this a bit of an imperial decree?"
Alice muttered something rebellious, but she still admitted it honestly. After all, she couldn't come to complain.
Then there is the [Combat Mechanism]. Among a bunch of options such as turn-based, semi-real-time, real-time, etc., Alice thought about it and finally chose turn-based.
She vowed: "Old-fashioned is a classic, a classic is fun, and fun is fun!"
Of course, the real reason is that the turn-based system is easier to get started with.
[Game Duration], it can be maxed out immediately, and it will not be a problem to play it for 300 hours.
Unfortunately, she couldn't. A cold pop-up message told her: [Due to performance limitations, long-term play cannot be supported. Please shorten the game time to less than three hours.]
"What can we do in three hours?" Alice protested strongly: "It took more than three hours for me to go through a novice tutorial! Besides, if the performance of the game console is not enough, I can save the progress and continue next time. Don't you think this game
Does it support saving? It’s too bad, I want my money back!”
The game console ignored her, and the pop-up window disappeared automatically after a few seconds, which made Alice furious, but she had no choice but to comfort herself: "According to GI Club, eight cassettes combined can
It is considered a complete game. In this case, it takes three hours to complete the novice tutorial on the first cartridge... which is normal."
After finally calming herself down, she pulled to the next branch, which was [Main Character]. This time, there were not only text options, but also a character model thoughtfully given on the right side - a 2D pixel villain, but the
It's very delicate and reflects the character's temperament and style well.
Then Alice almost stared out of her eyes because she saw the five characters appearing on the brass page. Except for the last one who was shown as [???], the names of the other four seemed to be somewhat familiar:
【Alice】, 【Linger】, 【Medine】, and finally, 【Saint Shalia】.
Her fingers on the handle were a little stiff, and she realized belatedly that what she was editing might not be just a game, but a world. Isn't it written like this in novels? When the protagonist plays the game, he thinks it is virtual, but
The plot of the game did take place in the real world, and the skills in the game were brought into reality by him, starting a path from an ordinary career to becoming the strongest in the world.
But the games played by the protagonist in the novel all come with their own. How come I have to edit them myself? It seems to be a bit of a squeeze on the labor force.
She first selected her name, and a pixelated figure popped up on the right side. The character model did not follow the outfit she wore when she traveled through time, but changed into a maid outfit, but the silver-white rabbit ears on her head were very recognizable.
It’s me!
In addition to the pixel model, there are also some properties.
【Character: Alice】
[Race: Human]
[Current status: controllable]
【Occupation: Maid】
[Skill: Unedited]
[Introduction: A genius player from the earth world, with all kinds of fantastic ideas in his head, keen on analyzing the world from the perspective of games and deducing the correct strategy.]
[It would be too boring for everything in the world to follow rules, let us explore the incredible things!]
"It's not as good as you said." Alice looked shy (pretending), and then found that the options of class and skill were both on, and seemed to be operable.
She rolled her eyes, first clicked on the skill column, and immediately pulled up a row of lists showing various skills, from the most basic [Sweeping Mastery] to the very powerful [Bargaining]
, then to the blushing and heart-pounding [Bedtime], and finally the unclear [different-dimensional space under the skirt]...
"Is your maid legal?"
Alice expressed doubts and felt that it would be better to change her class, so she moved to the class column and pulled down a row of lists. In addition to maids, there were also items such as [Brave], [Paladin], and [Saint].
] and other classes that are suitable for fantasy backgrounds, as well as [gunner], [puppet master], [watchmaker] and other classes that are suitable for steam backgrounds, and finally the [old two-dimensional] class with unknown meaning... Alice hesitated a little. She preferred the [Brave] class because it reminded her of many classic RPG games, such as "Dragon Quest", one of the double walls of JRPG (Japanese Role Playing Game).
》 series, although it is a game from the previous generation, it is still a classic, at least Alice likes it very much.
However, we have arrived in the steam world of the 19th century. Why not experience the professions that are more characteristic of the times? For example, [gunner] and [puppet master] whose names make people want to complain.
Just when she was struggling, she suddenly caught a glimpse of several other characters, and her eyes suddenly lit up: Not to mention that [???], at least the other three characters were familiar to her, and they must be from the friendly camp. In this case, the class
The choice must take into account the matching of the team. This is also a traditional item of RPG games, so you must try it.
So she first looked at the attributes of her teammates, and the first one was Ringer.
[Introduction: Human beings who have no special hobbies and live relatively boring lives seem to believe more in the laws seen with the naked eye than in illusory beliefs.]
[The gears of the clock begin to wear out after running for three months. The automatic diary dolls are replaced every ten years. The translation line in March forms an angle of 90° in a fixed period. Stars are suspended in the night sky due to gravity. The ocean can be seen at the end of the continent.
…This is the unchanging law of the world.]
His class is a priest, which is not surprising, but these skills make him look like a supporting character?
Alice muttered and looked at Meridian's attributes again.
【Character: Metien】
[Race: Human]
[Current status: uncontrollable]
[Profession: Pharmacist]
[Skills: Mastery of Herbal Medicine, Simple Bandaging, Recycling, Diffusion Tactics]
[Introduction: A girl who believes in fairy tales has longing and longing for all the beauty in the world. Even if she has witnessed those cruel and sad things with her own eyes, she still does not change her innocence.]
[Although it is sad and cruel, the beauty in the world is like a fairy tale. As long as you believe, it always exists.]
This is also a supporting role.
Could it be that...
Alice had some guesses in her mind, but she still had to read the attributes of the last friendly character. She moved the option to the character named [Saint Shalia] and found that her pixel model was a girl wearing white clothes.
The girl wearing a skirt, holding a curved wooden stick, with a noble and calm temperament couldn't help but praise her twice: "It's quite pretty..."
Suddenly, her expression stiffened for a moment.
Because she realized a very serious problem: Who is this [Saint Shalia]?
Have you never met each other?
However, I feel familiar with her name, and I subconsciously put her in the friendly lineup.
