Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

If you are an old soul player, you will most likely have a strong sense of sight when you play "The Ring of Eldon".

In ancient times, the immortal ancient dragon ruled the world, until a point where the world was born with fire, and derived light and darkness, life and death, and finally a group of people obtained the power of the first fire, and the most powerful Gwen created the first fire era. , the white dragon and the witch have created a corresponding magic and conjuration system.

From the background, it seems to be very similar to "The Ring of Eldon", including the main plot. The fader becomes the king of Eldon, either continuing the golden era of Eldon, or the whole The world ushered in a new era, or completely collapsed.

But when players go deep into "Ayrden's Circle" and gradually understand the world view behind it, they discover the difference.

That is the world is too large, not just the content of the game.

Including the world view and story, it can be said that "Eldun's Circle" is the master of soul games.

Not only Black Soul, but also Blood Origin can find similar background settings in the game.

In the distant ancient times, there was no golden tree at the border, and there was no yin and yang of life and death in the world. Until the appearance of the melting pot of life and the fate of death, there was pure life and death in the world.

They are independent of each other, but depend on each other. The furnace needs to die so that the life it produces returns to the furnace, just like the flow of life in "Final Fantasy", the life returns to the planet after death.

And the fate of death also needs to symbolize the melting pot of life and produce believers.

The queen with dark eyes is the first master of the doomed death, and the believers whose subordinates are called godskin messengers to hunt down all gods are the lives that came out of the furnace.

In this way, the lives that emerged from the furnace of life turned into ancient dragons, giants, humans, and beasts one by one. The lives prospered, allied with each other and fought with each other, and ushered in their doomed death at the junction.

But whether it is driving away the giant who made the flaming cauldron from the ice dragon on the distant snowy mountain, or the dragon king Platton Sankos who sits in the dragon king city of Fam Yazra in the slit of time and space.

This is the first era of life, but not the era of the birth of civilization.

Unlike human beings who symbolize civilization, the so-called civilization at the border is just a concept.

The borderland needs stable rule, but in a world with gods, theocracy and rule can never be separated. Faith drives the need for a common ruler.

There is a strange rule in the junction, that the rule must be carried out by the combination of God + King.

From the ancient dragon kings and gods, the golden tree dynasty, after Goffrey was left, Radagan abandoned his wife and daughter to go back to inherit the throne, and the blood king Munger, who was trying to establish a new dynasty, kidnapped the holy tree Michaela, and the last star age Lanne with faders.

No matter how the times and the protagonists change, this combination has never changed.

So in order to have a king who can comply with the rules of the junction, the dragons with the power of storm and thunder were selected in this way, and the fingers in the game are the incarnation of civilization or the gods behind them.

Fire has always been considered the origin of civilization, just like the ancient flint man made fire in the east and Prometheus stole fire in the west.

But also the finger is the origin of civilization as much as the flame. It is because of the primate animal that has the ability to make a variety of tools, can throw stones, can throw sharp tree spears, even if its own. The strength is not enough to match the tiger and leopard, but as long as the skill points are added to the IQ, primates with fingers can play these powerful tigers and leopards to death.

So under the guidance of the Five Fingers, the incarnation of civilization, the Dragon Clan temporarily became the highest point of the border, and civilization was able to appear.

Discipline, self-control, this is the symbol of the civilization of the dragon race. Ge Fulei, the prime minister of the beasts, Seroxiu, suppresses his wild nature, and Gulange, who is in the temple of the beasts, is the embodiment of civilization. They believe in discipline and self-control. Lock your own 'wildness' in your body.

This is also why in the game when the fader faces Grafley, he will kill the tiger lion behind which the fader thought was a pet at the second stage, because it restrains his wild existence, and he does not want to Having endured the red tape that represented self-control and etiquette in civilization, he chose to abandon Grafrey's identity and become the barbarian warrior, Holelu, who represented the wilderness again.

And in the end, they did succeed, giving life to civilization, and the age of dragons became the first civilization, but it was nothing but a dream bubble.

Because a foreign civilization has ushered in the land of the border.

The first group of alien civilizations were a race called the Greeks. Compared with the natives in the borderlands who led the establishment of the Dragon Civilization through the fingers, the Greeks already had their own mature civilization, and the Greeks who believed in the stars quickly A civilization different from the dragon civilization was established, which is the so-called Eternal City.

However, although the Greeks have established their own civilization, this race does not like fighting and loves research. They just want to return to their hometown: the starry sky.

But unlike the peace-loving Greek people, a golden meteor fell on the junction at the same time, and this golden meteor was carrying the golden tree and the beast of Eldon.

If the Greek is a house who wants to go home, the kind that is indifferent to the world.

Then the golden tree is the king of trouble, they believe in the only one, and this one is themselves.

Eliminate other laws in the world and keep yourself as the only law, this is the golden tree.

So when they came to the junction, the first one to be brutally murdered was the Crucible of Life.

When the golden meteor fell to the junction, the seeds of the golden tree fell into the furnace of life, but instead of being cast into the life of the junction by the furnace, the seeds took root and sprout, and even swallowed the authority of the furnace of life, based on the furnace of life The first generation of golden trees was born.

Also as a golden tree that integrates the furnace of life, it also inherits the characteristics of the furnace of life, but it is more extreme.

That is, the law of the golden tree believes in the only one, which advocates that there should be no real death in the world, and that both the body and the soul should return to the tree to be reborn.

This naturally conflicted with the late-night snack queen who was in charge of the fate of death, but the golden tree at this time was still developing silently in the dormant period, ready to brush out the six gods and then come out to calm the world.

But at this time, a meteor disrupted the plans of all the conspirators on the border.

And this initiator is the peaceful Greek family, the goddess of the outside world, the golden tree and the melting pot of life, and the dragon civilization that is about to collapse. These have nothing to do with the Greeks, after all, they have no ambitions.

But their other problem that they love to study has caused a big problem.
