The Creator of the Second Dimension

The reason why he chose the theme of martial arts is because Wang Ze liked to read martial arts novels and yearned for life in them when he was a child, and the first video game he came into contact with when he was a child was a martial arts game with a high degree of freedom.

Across the rivers and lakes, love and hatred, Wang Ze had similar dreams when he was young. As he grew older, he also knew that reality is not as straightforward as martial arts novels, and there are fewer and fewer martial arts games. Wang Ze has been playing "Martial Arts 3" for a long time, but he still feels that it is not enough.

Since it was produced by one person, it was naturally impossible for Wang Ze to choose those types of games that required a lot of art resources, but he also wanted to restore the feeling of freedom in the world when he was a child, so he designed a system.

In this system, players will control a character whose birth is set by the players, and can be completely freely customized from birthplace, appearance, qualifications, etc.

After creating a character and choosing a school, you can start to communicate with each character, you can make friends with them, you can learn from them, you can chat, and develop different interpersonal relationships according to different options.

At a certain level, the player can walk the rivers and lakes. He can choose to be a hero and hate evil like a vengeance, or a thief, robbing the rich and helping the poor, or living in seclusion in the bamboo forest, or even being a villain.

This system is completely different from the open world of "Breath of the Wild". It is an open rivers and lakes connected by character plots.

Although it looks huge, Wang Ze used some procedural skills so that he didn't need to write so many scripts.

For example, he applied machine learning to the creation of characters. Under given conditions, he let the program learn by himself, created many characters with different personalities, and then screened them to get a personal character.

This mechanism also plays a role in the character's response process. For example, if the player cheats an NPC by deception, the second time the player uses a similar method, he will be seen through, and even the NPC will start to learn to lie to the player. .

Of course, because Wang Ze's drawing skills are really bad, all his maps use open-source free materials that have been improved by himself. The battle screen is also a simple graphic design similar to a stickman fighting.

The more he makes games, the more Wang Ze feels an inexplicable sense of pleasure, as if he was born for this.

In September, school started, and at the same time, a batch of new independent games were released on the steam platform.

Among them was the name of a game that quickly attracted everyone's attention.

This game is called "One Hundred Days of Love in the College Entrance Examination".

Hardcore Technology Dragoon Studio.

evening.

Shen Gushu stretched his waist. The progress of the game "Lord of War" they hosted and developed is nearing completion, so he can finally relax a bit.

What Shen Gushu is most afraid of now is that Hatsune Games' "Monster Hunter" will suddenly release a trailer, which shows the same content as his own "Lord of War".

Don't be afraid to hit the subject matter, whoever cooks will be embarrassed.

Shen Gushu now feels that Hatsune Yugi is invincible, and subconsciously wants to avoid the opponent's edge.

After taking a sip of coffee, Shen Gushu looked at some chat groups, and suddenly found that everyone was discussing a game.

""One Hundred Days of Love in the College Entrance Examination"? Pfft, that's the name."

Shen Gushu thought it was a bit funny. The college entrance examination is very serious, and being in love is very interesting. When the two are put together, there is an inexplicable feeling.

After looking at the screenshots of someone in the group, Shen Gushu discovered that this was originally a text adventure game.

To be honest, as a game developer, Shen Gushu doesn't think much of text adventure games, especially some so-called "electronic novels" that basically have no options. He thinks that they are just novels with illustrations and BGM voices, not really game.

But after looking at it, he suddenly felt that this "One Hundred Days of Love in the College Entrance Examination" seemed interesting.

In addition to the normal love life, there seems to be a character training system, which really needs an exam.

He thought about it, opened the steam platform, and searched for this game.

He found that the game released today has sold more than 10,000 copies. In the live broadcast below, there are more than 20 anchors broadcasting this game, and there are many popular anchors who are familiar with them.

"interesting."

Shen Gushu looked at the price, 80 yuan was a bit expensive for a text adventure game, but he still paid and bought the game.

The company's network is very fast, and he finished downloading the game after washing a cup.

Shen Gushu looked at the time and decided to play for a while before going to eat.

At the very beginning of the game, there was a performance clip with a strong performance. A girl with twin ponytails was singing. Behind her, the boy holding the guitar and the girl playing the electronic organ also showed very serious expressions.

"The music is good."

With the nice music, Shen Gushu suddenly felt that this game was quite attentive.

During the interval between the performances, the game also explained the background and the like from the perspective of the male protagonist.

But what Shen Gushu didn't expect was that after the performance, one of the heroines named Mu Xin confessed to the hero directly!

"So exciting."

Due to the initial performance, Shen Gushu was gradually brought into the game.

He accepted Mu Xin's confession, and the two became lovers.

At the beginning, Shen Gushu still had the idea that since he had a girlfriend, he needed to communicate more. Basically, he would go to Mu Xin when he had nothing to do. Mu Xin went to the aquarium and other places.

Just when Shen Gushu began to feel that this game seemed like a love simulator, and studying was useless, the first mock exam came.

Shen Gushu got a score that was a little bit reluctant even for three books.

"It's too real."

He sighed with emotion and continued to look for Mu Xin.

At this time, Mu Xin asked him to go to the cafe they often went to, and then told him a surprising news.

"let's break up."

Mu Xin said, she said that when she was in love, she only thought about two people being together, and her studies became worse. She didn't want to delay both of them, so she had to break up.

Shen Gushu tried to save him, but in the end, he could only watch Mu Xin's back as he left.

".I don't accept it!"

Shen Gushu suddenly became competitive, and in the next few days, he still went to find Mu Xin, but the other party didn't give him a chance at all, and each refused. Until the second model, Shen Gushu's grades were still the same as before, but Mu Xin was still the same. Did not look back.

".In that case, I'll just study hard."

Thinking of this, Shen Gushu came up with an idea. All his options were related to study. He also stayed at home on weekends and studied crazily. There were even a few times when Mu Xin wanted to talk to him, but Shen Gushu hesitated. Flatly refused.

"You all think that studying is the most important thing, so I will study hard!"

Shen Gushu muttered to himself.
