Alice in the Land of Steam
Chapter 20 Does the stranger's name sound familiar?
Chapter 20 Does the stranger's name sound familiar?
First select [Game Type].
Then the interface changed again, and a brass book slowly unfolded in front of Alice, displaying the same terms she was very familiar with: RPG (role-playing game), ACT (action game), FPS (first-person shooter game), CAG (card game), RAC (racing game), SLG (strategy game)... There were many types, even including the more imaginative GAL (Beautiful Girl Love Game).
For a game, choosing its game type is equivalent to choosing its audience, market and development direction.
As a veteran gamer, Alice certainly knows that different game types have their own advantages and disadvantages. Even the most niche types have their die-hard fans. It is better to say that the more niche the game is, the more likely it is to have die-hard fans. But this is not important, because there is no so-called game market in the other world in the 19th century. The most important question for Alice now is, for a beginner, what type of game is easier to make?
We don't aim to create classic masterpieces like "The Elder Scrolls" and "GTA", but at least we can't make them as bad as "Blood ○" and "E○ Alien" - considering the psychological feelings of the parties involved, Alice was considerate enough to mute their names.
It requires careful consideration.
Alice fell into deep thought. After thinking carefully for about ten seconds, she manipulated the controller without hesitation and pressed one of the options: "As for me, it's still the King's Journey, a role-playing game."
That's right, she chose the role-playing game, abbreviated as RPG, which is perhaps the oldest, most popular and most widely used game type in the world. Apart from pure puzzle games, most games have certain role-playing elements. In other words, role-playing games can accommodate a variety of elements. Even if it is not limited to electronic games, posting fishing posts on forums can also be considered a role-playing game...
Ahem, in short, the expression of RPG games is very simple and clear, but the core is extremely profound. Game producers who are proficient in this field can use the simplest materials to create classics that transcend the times, and newbies who know nothing about it can also produce qualified works as long as they remember the core of role-playing and follow the rules.
[Skills: Unedited]
After Alice made her choice, the other options on the brass book page slowly faded away, leaving only the RPG (role-playing game) option. Then, with the sound of gears clicking, the brass book turned to the next page, and the category displayed on it was: [World Background].
[Race: Human]
She vowed: "Old-fashioned is classic, classic is fun, and fun is fun!"
"What can you do in three hours?" Alice protested strongly. "It took me more than three hours to complete the novice tutorial! Besides, if the game console is not powerful enough, I can save my progress and continue next time. Doesn't your game support saving? This is terrible. I want a refund!"
Unfortunately, she couldn't. A cold pop-up window told her: [Due to functional limitations, long-term play is not supported. Please shorten the game time to within three hours.]
[Class: Maid]
[Game duration], just max it out, playing it for 300 hours is not a problem
【Role: Alice】
“Does this mean something like an imperial decree?”
[Current status: controllable]
Then Alice almost popped her eyes out of their sockets, because she saw five characters appearing on the brass book page. Except for the last one who was shown as [???], the names of the other four seemed familiar: [Alice], [Linger], [Metien], and the last one, [Saint Charia].
Of course, the real reason is that the turn-based system is easier to get started.
There are still many branch options: ancient hegemony, medieval religion, magic fantasy, space fantasy, virtual world, cyberpunk... But these options are almost all gray and cannot be selected. Only one option is lit: steam fantasy.
Alice muttered some treasonous words, but she still admitted it obediently. After all, she couldn't go to the house to complain.
She first selected her name, and a pixelated figure popped up on the right. The character model was not dressed the same as she had been when she traveled through time, but was instead dressed in a maid outfit. However, the silver-white rabbit ears on her head were very recognizable, it was her!
In addition to the pixel model, there are also some properties.
Then came the [combat mechanism]. Among a bunch of options such as turn-based, semi-real-time, real-time... Alice thought about it and finally chose the turn-based system.
The game console ignored her, and the pop-up window disappeared automatically after a few seconds, which made Alice very angry, but she was helpless and could only comfort herself: "According to GI, the eight cartridges are considered a complete game. In this case, it is normal for the first cartridge to take three hours to make a novice tutorial."
After finally calming herself down, she moved on to the next branch, which was [Main Character]. This time, there were not only text options, but also character models on the right - they were 2D pixel figures, but they were very delicately made, and they well reflected the character's temperament and style.
But the games played by the protagonists of the novels are all pre-installed, so why do I have to edit them myself? This seems a bit like exploiting labor.
Her fingers on the controller were a little stiff, and she realized belatedly that what she was editing might not just be a game, but a world. Isn't it written like this in novels? When the protagonist plays a game, he thinks it is virtual, but the plot of the game really happens in the real world, and the skills in the game are also brought into reality by him, thus starting a journey from an ordinary career to becoming the strongest in the world.
[Introduction: A genius player from the Earth world, with all kinds of fantastic ideas in his head, keen on analyzing the world from the perspective of games and deducing the correct strategy.]
[It would be too boring if everything in the world followed the rules. Let's explore the incredible things! ]
"It's not as good as you said." Alice looked shy (pretending), and then she found that both the class and skill options were lit up, and it seemed that they could be operated. Her eyes rolled around, and she first clicked on the skill column, and immediately pulled out a list of various skills, from the most basic [Cleaning Mastery] to the very powerful [Bargaining], to the blushing [Sleeping], and finally the meaningless [Under Skirt Different Dimension]...
"Is your maid legal?"
Alice expressed doubts and thought it would be better to change the class, so she moved to the class column and pulled out a row of lists. In addition to the maid, there were classes such as [Brave], [Paladin], [Saint] that matched the fantasy background, as well as [Handgunner], [Puppeteer], [Watchmaker] and other classes that matched the steam background. Finally, there was the [Old Second Dimension] class whose meaning was still unclear...
Alice was a little hesitant. She preferred the [Hero] class because it reminded her of many classic RPG games, such as the "Dragon Quest" series, which is known as one of the two pillars of JRPG (Japanese role-playing game). Although it is a game from the previous generation, it is still a classic. At least Alice likes it very much.
However, since we have come to the steam world of the 19th century, shouldn’t we experience the classes that are more characteristic of the times? For example, the names of [Handgunner] and [Puppet Master] make people want to complain.
Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly caught a glimpse of several other characters, and her eyes immediately lit up: That [???] aside, at least she was very familiar with the other three characters, they must be from the friendly camp. In this case, the choice of class must take into account the team's matching, which is also a traditional project of RPG games and must be tasted.
So she first looked at the attribute columns of her teammates, starting with Lingge.
【Role: Lingge】
[Race: Human]
[Current status: uncontrollable]
[Class: Priest]
[Skills: Premonition, Faith Affinity, Expelling Evil, Devotion]
[Introduction: Humans who have no special hobbies and live a rather boring life seem to believe more in the laws seen by the naked eye than in illusory beliefs.]
[The gears of a clock start to wear out after running for three months, the automatic memoir dolls are replaced every ten years, the translation line of March forms a 90° angle in a fixed period, the stars are suspended in the night sky due to gravity, and the ocean can be seen at the end of the continent... These are the unchanging laws of the world.]
The class is Priest, which is not surprising, but with these skills, he looks like a supporting role?
Alice muttered, looking at Metien's attributes again.
【Role: Metien】
[Race: Human]
[Current status: uncontrollable]
[Class: Pharmacist]
[Skills: Herbalism, Simple Bandaging, Recycling, Diffusion Tactics]
[Introduction: A girl who believes in fairy tales, who yearns for and admires all the beauty in the world. Even though she has witnessed those cruel and sad things with her own eyes, she still does not change her innocence.]
[Although it is sad and cruel, the beauty of the world is like a fairy tale. As long as you believe in it, it will always exist. ]
This is also a supporting role.
Could it be that……
Alice had some guesses in her mind, but she still had to look at the attributes of the last friendly character. She moved the option to the character named [Saint Shallia] and found that her pixel model was a girl wearing a white dress, holding a bent wooden staff, and with a noble and serene temperament. She couldn't help but praise it twice: "It's pretty..."
Suddenly, her expression froze for a moment.
Because she realized a very serious problem: Who is this [Saint Shallia]?
You've never met each other, right?
However, he felt familiar with her name and subconsciously classified her into the friendly team.
This isn't right.
