Plot Falling Apart!
Chapter 203:Plot Falling Apart!
The bell rings in front of the previous world architect's computer, opened the plot folder, and looked one by one.
Tian Yuan was sitting next to him, and the little girl sneaked to this side from time to time, presumably to see how the legendary genius designer worked.
As a result, the bell sat for an hour, just flipping through various plot files and not moving a word.
Tian Yuan was curious, and I would like to know if the bell could save the plot, but she did not dare to ask more.
The bell is also considering the issue.
The world’s architect is pretty good at writing.
The basic setting of the world view alone has written about 30,000 words.
There are also the regional story plots of each chapter level in the game, and the content is also very much, the whole game is divided into eleven chapters, the plot story of the first three chapters has been written, and each chapter also has one thousand or twenty thousand words.
Of course, this 20,000 words is not a purely dialogue text content, and there are some text descriptions in the game display.
For example, the player controls the character to the boss, in addition to the dialogue, there are some simple plot actions, scene changes, etc., which must also be written description, easy to understand.
The text of pure dialogue, two or three thousand words, which is also terrible.
This contains mission dialogue, puzzle content, prop description, monster lines...
Especially the content, there is a lot of it.
The bell looked at it, the plot was written well, and it was a good story to see from the game.
The problem is, is the text too large, right?
Moreover, the next chapter is the final stage of the plot, more tasks, more props, perhaps running 30,000 words.
The clock is about two hundred thousand words written!
Write 200,000 words a month.
It must be impossible...
Even if the bell can burst out, he will not do such a thing, eat full support ah!
It is no wonder that no one took over the plot of this mess, and they did not say whether they wanted to, and most people looked at this structure and were scared back at that time.
The bell ming looked at the game's plot plan outline and fell into thought.
After a while, Wu Minghao arrived.
“Well, is there a clue?Give everyone a takeaway, eat first, rest and rest.”
Wu Minghao is also very concerned about the plot side of the matter, after all, this is directly related to whether the game can be successfully launched as scheduled.
The bell honked for a moment of silence: "No salvation, overturn and trunnoc."
“What?”
Wu Minghao was embarrassed at that time, and the Tian Yuan next to him was embarrassed!
Overturned renulfing?Are you serious?
Wu Minghao quickly pulled a chair from the side and sat down, persuading: "Don't hurry, look again, you can't save, let's consider overturning what we have done..."
He was a little panicked.
Indeed, this mess is not good to clean up, the big pit is not easy to fill, Wu Minghao is very clear.
According to the previous plan of the world architect, the plot text of the whole game, about 300,000 words, has now been completed less than 100,000 words, and there are nearly 200,000 words.
A month, filling in the pit of 200,000 words is really difficult.
But that can’t be thrown away from the 100,000 words in front...
Seeing this situation, the average person's idea is definitely to make good use of the first 100,000 words as much as possible, after all, the big frame has been set up, the previous chapter plot is also completed, now thrown, is that not a blood loss?
Zhong Ming explained: "It's not that I want to be lazy... Well, I think being lazy is actually a reason, but not the main reason."The point is, to write the plot like this, it's not pleasant, it doesn't mean anything."
“Uh . . . what do you mean . . . . Wu Minghao hesitated a little bit?”
“Only the original world view is preserved, and the rest is rewritten.However, the amount of text to be compressed a lot, 300,000 words of plot text, compressed to 50,000 is enough.
The opening of the bell ming directly cut the 300,000 to 50,000.
Tian Yuan couldn’t help but say: “Fifty thousand...50,000, a little less...”
She had not been able to stop talking, but this time it was a little too much.
After all, three hundred thousand to 50,000, is really a little cut too much...
Purely dramatic?The dry, the reader does not like to see it.
But if you do it according to the previous writing, 300,000 compressed to 50,000, it is basically impossible.
"Oh, yes, there is a change in the gameplay.I just played, feel that the difficulty is a little too low, it is recommended that the damage value of the monster be raised two more grades."The bell said.
Wu Minghao was embarrassed again.
What is this?
"Well, the damage value of the monster has anything to do with the plot..." Wu Minghao couldn't help but ask.
The bell chimes nod: "Of course there is, this, I'll come up with a detailed change proposal, you see."
Wu Minghao and Zhong Ming two people while eating, while chatting, the more chat, Wu Minghao feel more virtual.
I don’t know what the bell is ringing!
Of course, the bell has not yet had time to explain to him, after all, such a big change, hastily can not be said.But the two points that Zhong Ming said, one is to compress the text, and the other is to improve the difficulty of the game, both of which make Wu Minghao a little false.
Instinctively... not so reliable!
Of course, Wu Minghao did not directly refuse, just waiting for the first chapter of the Zhongming rewrite.
Moreover, the agreement has been signed, before Wu Minghao patted his chest to ensure that the plot was handed over to the bell, you change it casually, and now it is not good to make it, only hard scalp by the bell toss.
...
The next day, the bell began to write the plot of the fantasy domain.
The big framework of the plot is not much modified, after all, the previous completion is already very high, and the key is that these plots are designed to the game content, and the impact of the change is too large.
For example, some plots specify the types and characteristics of the monsters in the chapter, and if they are changed, the monsters in the game will also be changed, which involves too much.
Therefore, the bell is only re-created under the original framework.
Eating so many literary fruits, the plot ability of the bell has obviously improved a lot, and it is written quickly.
While writing the plot of "Fantasy Domain", Zhong Ming also took time to explain the specific design of "ink and ink" to Da Hui Ge and Zhou Sen, and the development work here was also on schedule.
If the development of the two studios is successful, then "Fantasy Domain" will be released on the line in about a month, and "Smoking" will be more than two months later.
After a few years, you can start to think about the studio, by the way, recruit more people, develop some bigger games.
...
Wednesday afternoon.
According to the previous agreement, every Wednesday and Saturday, the bell rings to the fantasy time studio, mainly to communicate some problems face-to-face.
"The plot of the first chapter is all over, the text is being uploaded, you can update the client, you can go to the game to see."The bell ming did not sit at the work place for a long time, and sent a message in the group to inform everyone.
The game completion of Fantasy Domains is close to 80%, and the previous chapters are basically settled and will not be changed.
Now Zhong Ming has changed the plot of the first chapter and re-uploaded, and equipped with various plot dialogues, task text and prop descriptions, etc., the completion of the first chapter is 100%, and it can directly enter the game experience.
Wu Minghao did not say two words, first update the game to run.
After running the first chapter of the plot, Wu Minghao was confused.
What situation?
There is no special feeling, just feel that the previous long sections of the plot, all are gone!
The original NPCs seem to have some words, when taking the task, I would like to tell all the stories related to the task, now, one by one, they have become high-cooled, and the language is unknown, and the feeling of wanting to stop makes Wu Minghao want to hit people.
Moreover, after running again, Wu Minghao felt that the plot of the first chapter did not seem to be clear!
As a matter of fact, each chapter is a small story.
There is a connection between chapter 1 and chapter II, but basically a new area, which is not very much connected.
But now, some of the pits dug in the first chapter are not filled at all!
For example, the first chapter has a task, the protagonist comes to a village, there is a couple in the village, secretly attacking the passing pedestrians and nearby villagers to eat, on the surface can not see, in fact, the villagers with the development of the plot, will slowly reduce.
At this time, according to the original plot design, the protagonist will find something wrong on his own, and trigger some other tasks, slowly peel off the couple's disguise, and finally enter the two hidden cellars to find evidence that they can eat people.
But in the plot after the bell ringing revision, all these tasks have been cut down, one is left!
Couples in the village will still eat people, and the villagers will still slowly decrease, but there will no longer be any relevant task tips.
The entrance of the cellar is very hidden, without the guidance of the mission, the player can only deduce the location of the cellar through the description of the props and the words in the mouth of other villagers, and it is possible to enter on the map.
And in the line, we are directly faced with a side-line boss battle.
Before changing the plot, players are ready to buy various supplies, repair equipment and so on before entering.But after changing the plot, players are likely to think that they are just a new scene, will never think that they may encounter boss, will certainly be embarrassed!
In short, the narrative is divided, and the difficulty has increased!
In addition to the first time, there are some pits that are not filled at all!
For example, according to the original plot, the man-eating couple is actually controlled by a character in Chapter 2, which is a preparation for the boss battle of the second chapter.After defeating the couple, some data can be analyzed, the second chapter of this boss has a special thirst for blood, the mission will guide the player to collect some blood, as a prop against the boss.
But the task was also cut!
Instead, players search the caves to find a scribbling note, and after reading it, they’ll see some information about the second chapter boss.But it will not trigger the task, nor will it guide the player to collect blood, all by the player himself.
The second level of this boss also belongs to a more difficult threshold, without blood is very difficult to fight.
There are many similar changes, in short, the amount of text has really come down!
In the past, Wu Minghao felt that the dialogue of the game was a little too long, and he was worried that the players were too lazy to watch it, and now he did not have to worry, and whether the players could realize that the plot of the game was not easy to say!
Wu Minghao was a little embarrassed, looked at the bell ringing: “Is this... okay?”The changes are a little too big!And so change, one of the highlights of the game does not exist.”
Wu Minghao was panicked.
Emotionally speaking, of course, he is a bell of trust, but no matter how to trust, that has a degree.
The current change of the bell ringing makes him a little unacceptable, because one of the selling points of "Fantasy Domain" is the plot, and the result is that the bell is easy to click and directly cut off three-quarters, the original smooth plot has become stumbling and cover-up, from the player experience, it must be a step!
Moreover, some of these changes have affected the gameplay of the game itself.
Some bosses are necessary to have special props to be easy to play, before these special props are used to guide the player to obtain, but now not, all hidden in some clues, may be npc dialogue, may be the prop description, the player really may not be able to see.
Although the bell ming gave this key information a red display, but ... really do not overestimate the IQ of the players, sometimes the IQ of the players fell off the line, that fell is shocking.
Zhong Mingming smiled, "I know what you think, you see the players too weak, you have to trust the players."
Wu Minghao Tucao said, “This is difficult!”
Zhong Ming explained: "You have to be clear that the group of players facing Fantasy Domains is not a bracelet player, and that group of people will not know this game at all.You have to deal with independent gamers, which is completely different species from the average bracelet player."
The reason why Wu Minghao fixed the difficulty of the game is very low is mainly to do the inertial thinking when doing the bracelet game.
In the circle of the bracelet game, one of the iron rules of the designers is to "imagine the IQ of the player as low as possible."
In short, the players who think of their own games are like a group of primary school students, assuming that they do not understand any guiding text at all, and they cannot understand certain ways of playing.
The guiding content to the extreme, so that even primary school students can be barrier-free understanding of the degree, that is considered to be successful.
Therefore, many players are Tucao, and the novice guidance of the bracelet game is too weak!How stupid do players need to guide this low-level content?
But in fact, there are a number of players who need this kind of guidance...
The bracelet game is faced with a group of very impatient players, so you must give enough perfect guidance to let them play, rather than playing because you do not understand and run.
However, now that Wu Minghao’s character has changed, what he is doing now is not a bracelet game, but an independent game!
The two groups of players are completely different.
The previous scene, in the bell, is not bad, but it is not good to say.
At the very least, it’s hard to impress these players who are passionate about independent games and will make them feel annoying.
The plot is trumped.
Too much guidance, but also disgusting.
Therefore, the bell is simply chopped up, the player is comfortable, and the bell is comfortable, because you can tap the keyboard many times.
The original Duck-filled plot may cause the player's disgust and persuade many people who have no patience to watch the plot.
Now, the plot is broken into countless small pieces, which is a liberation for those who do not want to see the plot, and those who are interested in the plot will be stimulated to explore.
