Starting to Make a Ghost Story Game From Sadako

Chapter 251: Decision, Script Killing Copy

"Mr. Qin, this is the seventh draft of "The Strange Tales of Female High School Girls", please see if it works." Yi Cheng looked at Qin Ge sitting behind the desk with anxiety. All the plans proposed in the past ten days were rejected one after another. The confidence that I had finally built up has almost collapsed.

"Sit down and talk. Briefly explain the changes to me." Qin Ge was lying on the table sorting out the outline of a large dream. When he saw her coming in, he just raised his head and said something before burying it back.

"As for the plot, the time has been moved back as you suggested last time. The ghost nun was originally the president of the church school, but in order to please Naia, she caused a fire one night, burning many teachers and students in the school. Death, this place has been living in the shadow of evil spirits since then.”

"The timeline that the player enters is Zhilan Girls' High School where ghost stories frequently occur after the reconstruction. We have designed seven main ghost stories. The player's main task is to break these seven ghost stories and help the dead teachers and students complete the redemption."

"The most important scenes include the girls' dormitory, teaching building, toilets, and playground."

"Yeah." Qin Ge didn't express any opinion, or even raised his head. He just answered from his throat to show that he was listening.

This reaction made Yi Cheng even more uneasy. In the previous drafts, he had always said that the plot was too ordinary and lacked highlights, and the scare points were all common jumpscare, which would easily cause players to feel fatigued.

But for her who is not very experienced, being able to achieve this level is already her best effort. For this reason, the team she led stayed up for several nights, but they were never able to create the spontaneous flow from the heart that Qin Ge wanted. , a bone-deep thriller.

Yi Cheng took a deep breath, mentally prepared to be rejected again. What she was afraid of was not failure, but fear of seeing Qin Ge's disappointed eyes after a certain failure. "And regarding the issues you mentioned last time, it is unable to give players a sense of immersion and the gameplay is too outdated."

"This time we plan to no longer let players explore as outsiders, but will give them a role card to let them play as a role to deepen their immersion."

"Huh? Keep talking." Qin Ge suddenly became interested and finally raised his head and put down the work in his hands.

Seeing this reaction, Yi Cheng felt a little more confident in her heart. After clearing her throat, she continued: "Take the line of Bi Xian's strange story as an example. If the player chooses to start with this line, then after entering, he will get One identity is Bi Xian’s younger sister, a freshman at Zhilan Girls’ High School.”

"She often sees her sister trapped in school and suffering in her dreams, so she wants to come in to help her break the curse and achieve liberation."

"To this end, we have designed a variety of identities that can be played, such as teachers, dormitory guards, and door guards. Choosing different identities means that the main plot at the beginning is different, so that online players can cooperate sincerely to complete the level." She saw Qin opposite. Ge fell into deep thought and couldn't help but ask: "Do you think there is anything wrong?"

"No, this setting is very good, I just remembered an interesting mode." Qin Ge smiled, thinking of a game called Script Killing in his previous life.

Players choose different scripts and speculate on the real murderer and the integrity of the story based on the sporadic clues in the script, because the existence of the script and identity gives them a high sense of immersion, and if this mode is combined with the game, it may cause A new wave.

And as a dream game, there is no need to throw dry words in front of the player's eyes. Instead, the player can be given an identity and some small clues through the opening, such as notes, photos, hairpins, etc., so that the players can hold these physical objects to figure out. The whole story.

Perhaps the dungeon in the large dreamland can follow this model and combine script killing with the dreamland game. This opened up an idea for him.

After being praised, Yi Cheng couldn't help but smile, and her voice gradually became clearer and stronger. "After completing the level, players can gain experience and a reward called plot fragments based on the completion of the plot. When a certain amount is accumulated, The amount can be used to exchange for exclusive dungeon props in the dungeon.”

“I think this model may be applied to the entire large-scale dream dungeon. It can not only give players the motivation to explore the stories of each character in the game world, but also outline the struggling life of ordinary humans under the bleeding moon. ." After she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful. She was too complacent.

Who is Qin Ge? A genius dream maker who brings new life to terrifying dreams, there is no need for an inexperienced newcomer like her to talk too much.

"This is just my immature idea, you don't have to worry about it."

"No, I think it's very interesting. I will put it into a large dreamland, but there are a few places that need to be modified." Qin Ge thought for a while and then said: "First of all, we can change the difficulty of the copy from low to high. It is divided into one-person edition and ten-person edition, but the place for redemption should not be in the dungeon.”

"I will let a single NPC be responsible for it, let's take Nana in the Arkham community. Players can get plot fragments after clearing the dungeon, and can open the prop exchange in this dungeon. When the player completes the dungeon to 100%, he can no longer Obtaining plot fragments is also to prevent players from deliberately grinding low-difficulty dungeons to become the Shilipo Sword God.”

"The props redeemed by players can be used in the development world, but the difficulty of redemption by players must be increased."

"I...I don't understand a little bit." Yi Cheng was a little confused.

"Let me give you an analogy." Qin Ge scratched his head and smiled: "The item produced in Sadako's haunted house is a camera that can make evil spirits disappear temporarily, but this does not mean that players can open the exchange of cameras in Nana's supermarket after entering this copy."

"Only when the player gets the camera in the copy can the exchange permission be opened. This is also to prevent some players from entering the copy and dying directly in order to obtain some powerful items, and then collecting enough fragments from low-difficulty copies to exchange."

"As for increasing the difficulty of exchange, players can only get 5 plot fragments in this copy at most, and it takes 10 fragments to exchange for the camera."

"This can force players to use the limited resources in their hands to buy the most suitable props for themselves."

Qin Ge wrote down the inspiration that emerged in his mind in a notebook while speaking, so as to prevent forgetting it later.

Amazing, he just proposed an idea, and he could expand it and check for omissions.

Yi Cheng now looked at Qin Ge and felt that he was shrouded in a hazy light. She was yearning for him, a yearning she felt when facing her idol, but the next sentence made her fall to the bottom again.

"The gameplay has been innovative, but the plot is still old-fashioned, and the sense of horror created is not enough."
