Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

There are indeed many players on the Internet who inexplicably miss the era when traditional RPGs were prevalent.

In the case of insufficient graphics and technical skills, it is more of a turn-based strategic gameplay, and the focus of the game is on character creation and story performance.

That's not to say that the current arpg-oriented games are not fun, it's just a nostalgia, especially for old players who came from that period.

However, in recent years, many traditional RPGs have also emerged on the VR platform, which has quenched the thirst of some players, but there are also many players who have criticized them.

Because these traditional RPGs seem to have nothing interesting except for the fact that VR has made the graphics better and has been given a layer of VR skin.

Whether it is the gameplay system or the map design, there is almost no change from the traditional RPG n years ago.

Many players even feel that these new traditional RPGs are not as interesting as the old game classics they remember.

Of course, this is the blessing of a memory filter, but the main reason is that the gameplay of the game does not change much that is too novel.

The main point of change in many games is focused on the picture, while other places are not too prominent.

This also caused many players to complain.

"This traditional RPG is getting better and better!"

"+1, the system is complicated but interesting. It turns out that this is just like a foot wrap. It doesn't matter if you are a big-breasted beautiful sister's foot wrap. This is a foot wrap of an eighty-year-old grandmother!"

"To be honest, the new RPGs are more interesting. Although the open world gameplay is a bit canned, it is still playable at first glance. The game system is not too awkward, and the plot is not too boring. At least it is excellent. Compared with traditional RPGs, you can only make a fuss about numerical values ​​and performance."

Many players are discussing it online. It is obvious that some old players who have played many games understand how to make traditional RPGs fun.

But if you understand it, whether there is a designer who can do it is another matter.

Just like braising pig's trotters, everyone knows what kind of chewy texture gives the best taste. However, when braising pig's trotters, controlling the heat is not something you can do just by yourself.

For players who like traditional RPGs, it is extremely disappointing to see traditional RPGs being launched one after another, but only with a different skin.

If a perfect traditional RPG comes out, I will definitely buy it immediately!

………………

"Mr. Chen, the art style of this character..." Looking at the two characters on the big screen in the conference room, Ruan Ningxue sitting next to him hesitated to speak.

On the large projection screen are two anime-style girls.

A man with gorgeous fiery red shoulder-length short hair and a pair of red eyes, wearing a red and black tight-fitting outfit and red ultra-short hot pants. He wears a golden curved armor on his shoulders and is connected to two slender black and green cloaks. He is equipped with red wrist armor up to his ankles, and his legs are wearing fiery red knee-high stockings.

The other one has dazzling long golden hair and a pair of golden eyes. She is wearing a white mini dress with green stripes on a black background. There are two diamond-shaped back pieces tied behind the belt, and the shoulders and wrists are There are gold-rimmed and green-backed barbed armor on the head, and an emerald ornament is tied to the right thigh of the two fair legs.

Flame and Light, the two heroines in the next game.

Of course, what Ruan Ningxue cares about is not how beautiful these two characters are. What she focuses on is that these two beautiful girl characters are really a bit too big.

"Book style? Doesn't this mean that you don't forget your original intention?" Chen Xu couldn't help but smile and said what Ruan Ningxue had not finished.

Listening to Chen Xu's free and easy words, Ruan Ningxue next to her was speechless.

What does it mean to never forget your original intention!

It was clear that she was the one who took the lead and prepared to include him in the drawing book, but in the end she was deceived and came over to play the game.

But after so many years, she has long given up on the idea of ​​​​books, and even she feels that it is a dark history, especially as the size of Nebula Games becomes larger and larger, and all the fan books she drew in the past years were covered by supernatural powers. Netizens dug it out. Fortunately, as a painter who dares to engage in painting books, she has a big heart.

"For traditional RPGs, it takes time to experience the fun." Looking at Ruan Ningxue, whose face was red, Chen Xu changed the topic.

One of the biggest features of traditional RPGs is killing time, but how to kill time?

That is a complex gameplay system, but for players, a large and complex system will definitely not feel its charm at first sight, and may even feel discouraged.

Just like Changsha stinky tofu, you say it tastes delicious, but it also smells terrible. Many people kneel down when they smell the smell, so forget about eating it.

Unlike fps or arpg, which can directly attract players through cool gameplay, how can traditional RPG attract players?

The answer is simple, that is art and character design.

First, use unique art and characters to attract players, and then slowly guide them to the core gameplay system of the game.

"Xenoblade Chronicles 2" is such a game, and Ruan Ningxue is right about one thing, that is, the art of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is really biased toward adults, but of course it is just biased towards Xenoblade Chronicles 2 after all. It is a very serious and passionate game.

As for the reason why this happened, it can be regarded as a coincidence.

In his previous life, Tetsuya Takahashi, who was a mecha fanatic, wandered from Square to Namco, and finally met his master and returned to Nintendo.

The Xenoblade series created during this period can only be said to be tepid, but the first work released by Nintendo, "Xenoblade Chronicles", although it brought about a revolution in traditional RPGs.

However, the sound caused by the platform was very limited, and in the later Xenoblade Chronicles X, his huge ambition made it impossible for him to control the planning of the game.

None of the excellent aspects of the previous game have been inherited. The music is chaotic and the large map of more than 400 square kilometers is extremely empty.

Including the plot and performance, too much emphasis was placed on the construction of the map, which made the plot and performance seem unsatisfactory, even inferior to the first generation of the previous game.

At the same time, the characters in the game are also said to be ugly by many players.

The gameplay of the game cannot match my ideal state, the excellent music cannot be matched with the huge map and becomes bad, and the performance of the plot is also unsatisfactory.

This is a question that Tetsuya Takahashi cannot avoid, but he looks at the comments made by players questioning why the characters in the game can be so ugly.

Tetsuya Takahashi still decided to carry out his willful resistance, so he did one thing, which was to completely let himself go.

With the resource invitation from him and Lao Ren.

Saitom, the artist who said that "work and mouth make people happy", Kimura Takahiro, who can openly sell girls' underwear at comic exhibitions, and serves as the animation supervisor of Lelouch characters (creating original characters for many adult games), Risa Ebata, who has been doing original character paintings for adult animation and games since his debut, Yasuomi Umezu, a famous Akinayama veteran... and many more, a series of painters have joined this project.

It’s hard to imagine how many people will be excited about the characters in this game after this group of people with common characteristics come together.

Soft cute shota, mature big sister, big sister next door, tomboy, little sister with social phobia, eldest lady, tsundere, Yamato Nadeshiko, chuunibyou, mecha girl, maid, otaku... almost only you can’t think of. , no you can't find it.
