The Great Writers of Hogwarts

Chapter 76 Running a group idea, recruiting Lupine (35)
Interactive novels, this is a special form of novels born on the Internet in Andre's previous life.

Readers will face some choices in the process of reading interactive novels. For example, when the protagonist reaches a fork in the road, the reader can choose whether to go left or right.

Or the protagonist wants to take revenge, and the reader can choose to kill the enemy or forgive the enemy.

After the reader makes different choices, the plot he sees will also change accordingly.

This is the so-called interactive novel, which is actually very similar to a text adventure game or a galgame.

Andre believes that the charm of "The Elder Scrolls" game is that players have a high degree of freedom to explore the world, and can freely choose the route, instead of doing tasks step by step like traditional games.

Whether players play a specific role in "The Elder Scrolls", they play themselves, and they play their own legendary stories.

To convey this feeling to readers in the current magical world, they must be given enough choices, and interactive novels are the most suitable form.

In addition, there are a lot of upgrades and additions in "The Elder Scrolls", with character growth.

If readers cannot experience these, the charm of this work will of course be greatly reduced.

Andre now has no conditions to develop games with graphics as the medium like in his previous life, but he thought of a form of using words to carry "upgrade points" and "obtain equipment", that is, running a team.

The so-called running group is a group of people get together. First, everyone creates their own character card, establishes various attributes and skills, and then embarks on an adventure under the guidance of the host.

Whenever you get skills or equipment in the running group, you can fill them in the role card, and use this role card to continue the adventure journey the next time you run the group.

In the process of running the group, participants can intuitively see the growth of the character through this character card, thus creating a strong sense of substitution.

To do this, only a piece of paper is needed, which just meets Andre's needs.

"I just need to include a reader's character card in the next issue of "The Quibbler" like the savior card, and bind this character card to their "Elder Scrolls" novel progress.

In this way, the choices they make in "The Elder Scrolls" will be synchronized on the character card, giving readers a strong sense of substitution. "

The more Andre thought about it, the more he felt that it was totally feasible to do so.

But the key lies in this "role card".

This is not as simple as the previous savior card, it can be done with only lace and photos, this character card must be able to carry some complicated operations.

For example, it is necessary to be able to display character attributes, equipment bars, potions, and props, and it is best to be able to display a map, so that readers can have a feeling of wandering in a real world.

It's just that this makes Andre a little bit difficult.

If it's a fight, he is very confident now, and feels like he can do two tricks with anyone.

But this kind of wonderful and delicate operation, not to mention Andre, even Geralt himself would stare blankly when he came, and had to run to his girlfriend Yennefer for help.

There is no such expert as Ye Naifa around Andre, so he can only find a way to find someone to help.

He packed up his draft ideas, left Lovegood's house, and walked towards the Weasley's house not far away.

Although I'm not sure if it will work, but brothers Fred and George have always had strange brain circuits, so maybe they can solve it.

Unfortunately, half an hour later, when Fred and George understood his needs from Andre, the two brothers looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.

"Andre, don't you think too highly of us?"

"To automatically synchronize the changes of the protagonist of "The Elder Scrolls" and to be able to display so many things, I just listen to your description and feel that this thing is not usually complicated..."

"Normally, not many wizards would study such an unorthodox field. If we were allowed to study at Hogwarts for two years, maybe there would be a problem.

Can you want us to finish it in a week?Merlin, you can't do it even if you kill us. "

Andre was also disappointed when he heard the reply from brothers Fred and George.

He thought it might be complicated, but he didn't expect that both brothers Fred and George thought it was useless.

What about Mrs. Weasley?
She is also a powerful witch, maybe you can ask her?
Andre found Mrs. Weasley, who was still in a state of sadness.

The venerable witch cheered up, and after listening to Andre's needs, she also showed a look of embarrassment.

"Honestly, Andrei, I don't know how to achieve your effect."

"If you ask me how to make the food taste good, or how to use household magic to keep the house in order, or how to beat some assholes, I can help you.

But this is not my field of expertise. "

Hearing Mrs. Weasley's reply, Andre couldn't hide his disappointment.

But soon, he also recovered his mood, and he was not immersed in disappointment.

He encountered this kind of situation quite a few times in his previous life.

For example, when holding certain promotional activities, it is necessary to achieve some effects on the app or webpage, such as roulette lottery, small games and so on.

When planning, everyone's brains were wide open and they were extremely excited. They felt that if this event could be done according to the creativity, it would be awesome, and users would forward hundreds of thousands of it every minute.

Then when I got it to the development department to discuss with the programmers, what I got was "hehe, what you think is so beautiful", and then I spread my hands and said "we can't do this job"

There is no way, in the end, we can only change the plan, sacrificing a little effect in exchange for feasibility.

Andre is facing the same problem now.

It was impossible for the Weasleys not to help him on this kind of matter, that is, they really couldn't do it.

Andre had no choice but to find another way.

"Just what method can be used to replace the character card?"

"Give readers a template and let them fill in the content on the character card? The threshold is too high, and the effect will be greatly reduced, and maybe someone will fill in some weird stuff."

Andre walked out of the Weasley's house frowning.

At this moment, there was the sound of apparition outside the Weasley's house.

Remus Lupine appeared with a gloomy expression. He glanced at Andre who was walking out, and found that it was a child he didn't know. He didn't care about it in the future, but went in to find Mr. Weasley.

"Arthur, I have something to discuss with you about taking Harry out of the Dursleys' house..."

Andre watched Lupine's back as he entered the room.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He thought of something that appeared in the original book - the Marauder's Map!
It can synchronize the location of everyone in every corridor in Hogwarts on the map, which is definitely an impressive magical item in the original book.

The effect of this Marauder's Map is similar to the effect that Andre hoped to achieve with the "The Elder Scrolls" character card!

And among the creators of the Marauder's Map, the one nicknamed "Moon Face" was Remus Lupine in front of him!
When he was in school, he could even make things like the Marauder's Map. After so many years, with the improvement of his magic level, it should be easy to make a character card with similar effects.

The more Andre thought about it, the more promising it became.

A huge market can be developed around character cards.

And if the magic of displaying 3D holographic images on character cards can be researched in the future, wouldn't it be possible to create a real 3D game?
The future is promising!
Games, this is an important part of the pan-entertainment industry chain, and it is an important section in Andre's future layout!
As soon as he thought of this, Andre's eyes showed a fiery color.

"This is a high-end talent..."

"Dumbledore, you don't even know how to use this kind of person, letting him wander for ten years would be too much of a talent.

If you don't know how to use it, I will teach you how to use it! "

　I overestimated myself, I can't stand it anymore, I will do three more changes today, and I owe the bosses two more.

　　I will get up early tomorrow to make up for the update.

　　Thanks for the support guys!
