Wang Xiaobin continued to look at the character design drafts of these main characters.
The protagonist played by the player is Qin Yi, the captain of the AS-371-45 team.
His Skylark battle suit also has a special painting, but it is different from the fancy feeling of others. He just painted the word "righteousness" in seal script on the right shoulder of the battle suit.
The meaning of the ancient Chinese character is "义", with the character "sheep" on the top and the character "I" on the bottom.
The number of the team means that this team belongs to Starship No. 371 of the Asia Fleet (AS), numbered Team 45.
In addition to Qin Yi, there are four other members in the team with different personalities.
Xu Kaile, optimistic and positive, is a young man with very delicate emotions. The paint on his combat uniform is that of various two-dimensional cute girls;
Meng Yu is short and taciturn, but very reliable at critical moments. His combat uniform is painted in camouflage color;
Zhao Yongxiu, who sometimes makes people think he is childish and careless, is a bit face-saving and is very good at adjusting the atmosphere of the team. The painting of his battle suit looks like a mecha, which makes him look handsome;
Wu Shaojun is tall, straightforward, the oldest, and the most trustworthy teammate. His combat uniform does not have any special painting, but it has a lot of scratches, which he did not go out of his way to repair.
The synopsis of the story provided clearly stated the general plot flow, but some details were not complete enough, including the lines, etc. were not clearly given.
After all, this is only the first version, and it needs to be continuously improved in the future. Wang Xiaobin’s opinions are also very important.
The structure of the plot is very simple. It is divided into five parts. Each part is composed of real-time calculated cutscene CG and in-game battles.
Because it is only a DLC attached to the game "Sea Fortress", time is very tight, so there is no need to do that kind of particularly elaborate cutscene CG, just use real-time calculations.
Part one:
The as-371-45 team successfully sneaked into the insect nest and cleaned up the larvae and worker bees on the outside.
Because it is located outside the insect nest, the number of insects is very small, so if they are discovered by larvae or worker bees, it doesn't matter if they are all killed directly. The battle is relatively simple.
During the execution of the mission, all team members can communicate in real time through voice communication. They will discuss the operation and look forward to killing the Zerg Queen to end the war.
Artificial intelligence will constantly give orders to the protagonist, analyze the battlefield situation, and guide the protagonist to make correct decisions.
Part Two:
After going deep into the lair, you begin to encounter more and more powerful Zerg, including hatching springtails, baneling bugs, etc. The difficulty of the battle at this stage gradually increases, and most of the time you must adopt the correct strategy, such as handling the baneling bugs carefully. , otherwise the large-scale splash of acid after the explosion of the baneling would cause serious damage to the team members.
At this point, the team members started to encounter some troubles and needed to help each other, but the overall mentality was still relatively positive.
Artificial intelligence will still guide the protagonist to make the best decision, and following the advice of artificial intelligence will significantly reduce the difficulty of the battle.
Part Three:
The insect swarm began to continue to increase, gradually exceeding the team's ultimate combat capability. As they penetrated deeper into the insect nest, they discovered the missing limbs or fragments of combat uniforms from other teams, and the respite after the battle would become precious.
Some team members began to lose their mental balance. After wandering under the insect nest for a long time, they still could not find any trace of the Queen, but saw too many other dead teams. Without logistical supplies, they began to question the battle success rate calculated by the artificial intelligence. Thinking that he will be buried here.
However, the team members encouraged each other and insisted on moving forward.
The artificial intelligence continues to analyze data, direct battles, and stick to its original statement in the face of doubts from the team members.
Part 4:
The actions of the team have alarmed the swarm. Although the main force of the zerg is not in the insect nest, even worker bees, springtails and banelings can pose a huge threat to the team as long as they are numerous enough.
Countless bugs came from all directions, and the way back was completely cut off, so they could only keep moving forward. In order to block the swarm of bugs behind them, a seriously injured team member stepped back and detonated the micro-reactor on his chest.
After finally getting a chance to breathe, Qin Yi found that very few of the team that had gone on the mission with him had survived.
What’s even more frightening is that the team accidentally discovered fragments of the battle suit deep in the insect nest. These were fragments of the Skylark II battle suit. This shows that humans have already carried out beheading operations before, but they were not successful, and artificial intelligence
This information was withheld.
The team members were completely in despair.
The protagonist questioned the artificial intelligence, but still couldn't get an answer. The team members found that there was no way out and could only move forward, deciding to complete their mission at all costs.
Part 5:
The team followed the artificial intelligence's analysis in desperation. In order to protect their teammates, the team members died one by one.
The protagonist was determined to die and wanted to fulfill the last wishes of his teammates. But in the end, he and the other remaining teammate were drowned by the endless sea of insects.
The strange thing is that these bugs did not kill them, but took them deep into the nest.
The protagonist finally meets the Zerg Queen, whose bloated and huge body is disgusting.
The two wanted to detonate the micro-reactors on their bodies and die together, but for some reason the artificial intelligence seemed to be disconnected, or was subject to strange interference, and was unable to control the detonation with artificial intelligence.
The surviving team member was brought to the Zerg Queen. He didn't know what the Zerg Queen had done to him. He immediately let out a sharp scream and died just two minutes later.
The protagonist was also brought in front of the Zerg Queen, and he also screamed, as if his brain was being pierced by countless needles. But he did not die immediately like the team members, but persevered tenaciously.
He insisted on taking off a pistol from the Skylark combat uniform, trying to drive a bullet through the crack in the breastplate caused during the battle to completely destroy the micro-reactor and trigger an explosion.
But this still failed. The Zerg's horny claws pierced his right hand and the pistol fell to the ground.
As he was dying, the protagonist felt that there seemed to be a blank space in front of him, and the sharp sound that stung his brain slowly left him, as if it had turned into a low whisper...
At the last moment, he felt a sudden violent vibration around him, and the roof of the cave deep underground suddenly collapsed. It seemed that he saw many soldiers wearing Skylark combat uniforms breaking in, as well as large earth-drilling machinery...
The story ends here, leaving an open ending.
In addition, the story outline also emphasizes that there must be a large number of lines during battle or rest, and everyone's lines must match their personality.
As the emotions change in the five stages, each character's lines will also change. At first everyone thought they could complete the task, but as time went by, they began to become pessimistic and even desperate.
In addition, the story summary also specifically emphasizes a key message:
At the beginning, the information that all the team members had was that this was the first time that humans had carried out a beheading plan against the Zerg. There were hundreds of teams performing this task at the same time. The artificial intelligence had roughly locked the position of the Zerg Queen, and the human
The main force is fighting the main force of the Zerg on the planet and is ready to support at any time.
Therefore, the members of the team believe that the success rate of this mission is very high. Once the Zerg Queen is successfully beheaded, the war between humans and Zerg will usher in the dawn of war.
However, as the battle continues to deepen, the team members' beliefs are constantly shaken.
During the battle, they also encountered members of other teams, some of whom had been sacrificed with only a few fragments of armor left, and some who perished with the Zerg in despair.
In the insect nest, they found some fragments of the Skylark battle suit. Many of the fragments were obviously not left over from this operation. This shows that this is obviously not the first time that humans have carried out beheading operations.
The team members gradually felt that they might not be able to hold on any longer and became more and more desperate, but there was no turning back and they could only keep moving forward.
During the break in the battle after killing the Zerg, the team members talked about the life form of this creature:
There is almost no single consciousness in the Zerg. In order to implement the consciousness of the Zerg Queen, she does not care about the life and death of the individual; she can use telepathy to share information within a wide range. The Zerg Queen has a very high level of intelligence, so the Zerg's tactical level is completely different.
Lost to humans.
In addition, the Zerg weapons are organised, the logistics requirements are extremely simple, and they reproduce very quickly, so a war of attrition is meaningless.
Only by beheading the Zerg Queen can the current unfavorable situation be fundamentally changed.
Therefore, although all the team members fell into despair in the later stage and felt that they could not come back alive, they still carried out the mission firmly because the only meaning of their lives was to kill the Zerg Queen.
As long as the mission is successful, the war can be ended, and it can be considered a worthy death.
But obviously, this mission is a mission destined to fail, because if it succeeds, there will be no story of "Mission and Choice".
…
After reading the entire synopsis of the story, Wang Xiaobin probably had a pretty good idea of what he wanted to do.
This story outline clearly explains the entire game process, character settings and even some dialogue details. Next, you only need to refine the entire process and complete the dialogue.
However, there are still many mysteries in this story outline, and it has an open ending in the end.
Did the Zerg Queen die in the end?
Did the protagonist survive?
This is obviously not the first beheading operation. Why does the artificial intelligence hide this fact?
What is the relationship between the protagonist in this DLC and the protagonist in the plot of "Mission and Choice"?
Obviously, these contents are related to the future plot of "Mission and Choice", and Zhu Xiaoce does not want to disclose it at this time.
The DLC of "Sea Fortress" is to warm up the new game. It can be regarded as an introduction. These questions will keep players discussing and maintain the popularity.
To answer these questions, we have to wait until the plot of "Mission and Choice" is revealed.
Wang Xiaobin suppressed his curiosity and immediately began to prepare for development.
