Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

The story line is almost the ultimate goal that players pursue when playing every game.

For plot games, players can follow the main mission step by step.

For non-plot games, the story line is often relatively obscure, requiring players to spend more time and energy exploring and discovering.

When you finally complete the story through your own efforts, you will not only have a deeper understanding of the game's worldview and story background, but you will also gain an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

This is true for Stardew Valley, this is true for [SVE], and even more so for [Ridgeside Village].

Since Boss Yin swore in public, he didn't show any fear. He walked north from Ridgeside Village, came to the intersection of the ridge map, split the hardwood blocking the road with an ax, and entered the ridge forest.

Once the Ridge Forest map is unlocked, players can trigger a new mission when they return to the Ninja Hut.

In the ridge hut, the new [Ridgeside Village] villager Daya smiled and said:

"Boss Yin? What a cute name? Yes, since you want to help that sexy elf, why don't you come and help me too? I still have a lot of chores to do here. Can you help me deal with it? I I guarantee you will make your trip worthwhile!”

Before Boss Yin could agree, Gio, a ninja wearing a mask on the side, stopped him and said, "Daya, stop messing around."

Deya waved her hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, but let's be more serious, Boss Yin, these tasks are specially prepared for you."

"The prophet is very interested in you. Who is that? Oh, you will see her soon. She said she will appear once all preparations are completed!"

Deiya continued: "I will put this book over there and spread it out. This book should be used to help you complete your mission. It was given to me directly by the prophet himself."

"I don't know why you are doing these tasks, and I don't know how that blank book can help you. It just has blank pages. Maybe you can see something we can't."

"But if you find something interesting, you must tell me. If you tell me, I will give you a sweet reward. Of course, this is a joke, hahaha."

[Believer’s shop unlocked]

[You have received a task, check the task log for more information! 】

Exclamation marks pop up in the log at appropriate times.

Boss Yin gets a new mission——

[Task name: Preparation]

[Quest Details: The Prophet looks through the special quests given by her subjects and learn more about this artifact in the red book of the Ninja Stronghold. 】

[Collect 25 mountain mist flowers]

[Retrieve the silver fish bone] [Retrieve 1 hollow teddy bear] [Retrieve 1 buried ring]

[Retrieve a shell bracelet] [Retrieve the lover's sorrow] [Retrieve the yellow wood carving]

[Recover 1 Ink Fossil] [Recover 1 Night Black Diamond] [Recover 1 Golden Skull Coral]

This task chain is not only lengthy, but also complex, and even includes elements of puzzle solving.

In the next few days, Boss Yin was busy in various places collecting these mission resources.

Boss Yin put the nine resources he had finally collected into the box in the Ninja House, and the mission log was updated again.

[Log: Preparations completed! 】

[Details: Now that you have collected all the strange items requested by Daya, return to the Ninja House tomorrow for further instructions. 】

[Goal: Return to Ninja House tomorrow. 】

Boss Yin followed the mission instructions and came to the Ninja House the next day and saw a note at the door.

[Farmer, on a clear night, return to the ridge after eight o'clock in the evening. She will come to see you. 】

"Tsk, tsk, this mission is to play riddles with me?"

Boss Yin waited until eight o'clock in the evening to reach the ridge and met Belinda, a new villager with purple hair. The beauty mark on the corner of her mouth seemed to be full of charm, and her smile was even more so.

Belinda looked at Mr. Yin and laughed: "Maybe today, Lei... I finally met its heir. You don't look like her, do you? I am Belinda, the prophet of Lady Red Tail."

"I am the only one who can communicate with her, so my existence is to fulfill her wishes. That is to find the spiritual world of this mountain and purify the fallen evil spirits on this mountain."

"Look, Boss Yin, I'm glad to hear you completed your mission. To be honest, you're the only one who can see anything from that book. You're special in...some way."

The long story background and plot introduction were slowly told from Belinda's mouth, including the spiritual world, motivations, tasks, needs, and unknown voices.

There is even a mention of the player’s Cyber ​​Grandma. Yes, Belinda and Cyber ​​Grandma are old acquaintances.

Until finally, Belinda walked up to her and looked at Boss Yin up and down. Suddenly her expression changed slightly and she said in surprise: "Oh my god? Your aura is so interesting. You may be the person I need. Come with me. We can't do it anymore." What a waste of time.”

【My grandma? 】

【Spirit world? 】

【Whose voice is that? 】

Force the plot to end, and the log message will pop up——

[Log: More preparations]

[Details: Belinda asks you to come to Ridge Forest tomorrow to help her "unseal the seal on her beloved\
