Chapter 1305: Game Background

Chapter 1305: Game Background

In fact, when they were discussing Repent and be Saved, many people had mistakenly thought that skipping classes would be wrong.

That was indeed the case in this game. He had to play truant and had to make up for it later on. It was only a matter of time before he suffered.

However, if it was placed in a large category like an action game, this saying would not be valid.

Was skipping classes always wrong? Of course not.

At the end of the day, games were meant to be a form of entertainment. Everyone had their own way of enjoying themselves.

Some people hoped to constantly hone their skills in the game and enjoy the sense of achievement of winning the boss with their hard skills. Some people were naturally crippled and reacted slowly. However, they could also use the game mechanism to win the boss. That was also a kind of joy.

Overly emphasizing a certain pleasure was actually one-sided.

Repent and be Saved was at the peak of its first milestone, but that was not the only way.

Yan Qi felt that he could dig deeper on the second point.

This was completely in line with what Li Yada had said before. “Boss Pei thinks that we should not follow the habits and thoughts of the players on the surface, but work hard to find deeper demands of the players.”

Playing truant was one of the gamers’ deepest desires. It was a good innovation to have a good mechanism for truant.

“Next is the background story of the game.”

“If you want to show the different characteristics of the four systems, you must let them target different monsters. Therefore, apart from human-shaped enemies, you must also let there be monsters and monsters.”

“Demons, devils, and ghosts, these are three different monsters. In terms of catching demons, subduing demons, exorcising ghosts, and so on, Dao techniques, Buddhist Dharma, Confucian arts, and military tactics must have different methods and focus.”

“Pure framework of the world. Alright, choose a suitable historical stage.”

“However, the background story must be in an era where demons are rampaging and wars are frequent. What’s more, it must be in an era where Confucian, Shi, and Dao soldiers are all prosperous and have an intense competition.”

“Hm…”

“If we’re looking for a historical model, the Wei and Jin Dynasties would be the most suitable!”

Yan Qi had not studied history before, but this historical knowledge was common knowledge.

The period of Wei and Jin Dynasties was a period of war that had lasted for a long time.

The major events at this stage included a series of iconic events like Hu Luanhua, Buddhist destruction, and so on. It was very compatible with the system that Yan Qi had conceptualized for the four Confucian Daoist weapons.

In a war-ridden world, all sorts of monsters were rampant.

“However, if you choose this historical period as the background story, you will face a problem: it is not easy to choose a cut.”

“Characters that are recognizable cannot link stories, and characters that can string stories are not famous.”

“What should we do with the plot?”

“I have to come up with an original story background.”

Yan Qi quickly encountered a new problem.

As the saying went, heroes appeared in troubled times. However, there were times when heroes did not appear in troubled times. It was pure chaos.

The reason why history during the three kingdoms period was repeatedly adapted by various literary works and film works was because this historical story was rich in details and had a refreshing character. The theme itself was suitable.

However, at historical stages like the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the theme itself was not suitable for acting because there were not many iconic events and a large number of famous heroes.

If Yan Qi really wanted to choose this historical period as the background story of the game, should he join the historical characters in this period?

Should he strictly follow history if he joined?

According to history, these people’s images would not be recognizable, and it would not be easy to distinguish them. If he spent a lot of effort to check historical information, the final outcome might be a waste of effort. Players would not buy it at all.

What’s more, according to history, the war era had been going on for too long. It would be strange if the plot had not been unified. It would make the protagonist look like he had been working for a long time without achieving anything. The entire story had no end. If the plot was unified, the positioning of the era would seem to deviate from the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties.

If he did not follow history and make sufficient modifications and redo creation…

They might even be criticized for not respecting history. Why not just be original?

Yan Qi thought about it and felt that it would be better to create an original framework history.

Of course, this historical period was not useless. It could be used as an original material.

It would be more troublesome to make many iconic events and details of the entire social environment in the game if they were to start purely from scratch.

However, compared to this historical period, integrating many key elements into the game could make the entire story background more voluptuous.

There were many core contradictions in this story. For example:

Countries were divided, wars were frequent and people were dying;

The foreign races at the border invaded, killing, plundering, internal and external threats;

The hatred and resentment caused by the war caused demons and ghosts to run amok;

Buddha, Taoism, Confucianism, and war. The fight to subdue demons and participate in the war between countries had a profound impact in this matter.

The excessive flourishing of Buddhism caused a series of Buddha-killing exercises;

Among the four families, there were true experts who wanted to save the people from fire and water. However, there were also degenerates who encouraged war and seized power to achieve unspeakable goals.

In short, it was a mess!

In such a chaotic world, the protagonist’s position was that of an ordinary person who was determined to kill demons and monsters. He would constantly learn the combat ability of the Confucian, Shi, and Dao soldiers, constantly train his own martial arts skills, kill demons, participate in the war between countries and countries, and be involved in a series of major events.

According to the players’ choices in the story, the story would also lead to many different endings.

Repent and be Saved’s background story was relatively clear, so there were fewer endings. The game that Yan Qi had conceptualized had a complicated background. Two or three endings would definitely not be enough.

He thought that he could explain several different aspects and then combine them.

The first was the unification state of the country. There were three types: wise emperors completed their unification; ambitious schemers who nearly completed their unification; failing when unity was about to be completed and the entire world fell into disunity again.

Second was the state of the alien race. There were two types: if the alien race was successfully stopped, the alien race would be expelled; if the alien race failed, a large area of land would fall and a large number of commoners would be killed.

Then, it was the state of Buddha, Dao, and Confucian soldiers: It could be that one of them was the most prosperous and occupied the dominant position, or it could be that a portion of them were declining and a portion of them were living together.

Lastly was the protagonist’s ending. There were four types: become the real ruler behind the emperor or the country; become a knight who traveled all over the world and killed demons and monsters; become the embodiment of demons and the demon king of the dark world; become Buddha, Daoist, and saint of the four Confucian families and glorify them.

According to the players’ journey in the game, the choices at some key points, as well as whether or not they had completed the ultimate challenge missions of various schools, the final outcome that players would achieve would be a combination of these endings.

The game encouraged players to play for a long time. At the same time, the game would also have different equipment entries, set stats, the secret heritage of the four schools of Buddhism and Confucianism, fate and other systems. Players would be able to farm equipment in the later stages and freely match them. Players would also have different goals in the later stages.

Of course, in order for players to farm better, an endless mode of repeatedly fighting bosses was indispensable.

Yan Qi thought about it as he recorded. He suddenly realized that he had already written so much.

What’s more, the general framework of the game had been set up!

Start with the difficulty level and try to change Repent and be Saved’s approach. After walking down another path, Yan Qi was surprised to find that the subsequent derivative combat system, story background, and other content were all produced logically. What’s more, they were quite smooth and natural!

After looking through the design plan, Yan Qi was a little surprised. He could not believe that he had designed it.

That was because this game made his eyes light up. It was the same feeling he had when he saw Repent and be Saved and Eternal Reincarnation!

“Big Sister Li did not lie to me. This method is indeed useful!”

“Look at the problem from another perspective. If you smooth it out, you will naturally be inspired.”

Yan Qi thought about it again. In fact, Li Yada had not told him the specific design method but had provided him with the right general direction.

This general direction was: He could not imitate Repent and be Saved. Instead, he had to take a spiral path. He had to retain his advantages and make differences.

Find different entry points, work hard to dig out players’ deep enjoyment, use traditional Chinese culture as the background story…

Yan Qi had used every single one of the instructions that Li Yada had given him to design the game. What’s more, they had proven extremely effective!

Yan Qi dispersed his thoughts in this direction and the design draft of the game naturally came out.

Now, Yan Qi could confidently say that this game was completely different from Repent and be Saved. Whether it succeeded or not, it would at least be a very special game.

However, one could only imagine how difficult it would be to develop a game like that.

Different weapons, four auxiliary systems for Buddhism and Confucianism, different monsters and humans, different scenes designed around key events…

That was a lot of work.

Compared to the mobile game that he had developed previously, the difficulty level was many times higher.

The amount of manpower and development budget he needed were all problems that Yan Qi had a headache over.

Even though he had foreseen these problems, Yan Qi’s attitude was more determined than before. He was very eager to create this game. He had to do it even if he had to sell everything!

That was because Yan Qi felt very excited when he thought about the state of the game after it was completed.

It did not matter even if gamers did not buy it. He felt that as a game designer, it was worth it to create a game like that even if he had to sacrifice everything!

What if he really could not do it then?

Then, he would beg them to look for investors. In any case, Yan Qi would not sit back and do nothing after writing such a publicity plan.

“Forget it, I’ll make this new game!”

“Hmm… there’s another question. What should be the name of this game?” Yan Qi fell into deep thought once again.
