Chapter 283 finalize the plot framework

Lu Zhixing was interested in: “Huh? This is a detailed talk.”

This second plan made him instantly associate a very classic game he had played before, called “The Biography of the Three Kingdoms”.

This is a very classic game launched by the classic works such as “Jin Yong Qunxia” and “Biography of Wulin Qunxia”, which is also called “trilogy”.

Of course, the popularity of “The Biography of the Three Kingdoms” is much lower than those two works. On the one hand, the subject matter is changed from martial arts to the Three Kingdoms, and on the other hand, because the R & D Studio R & D funds at that time were very limited, ” The volume of this game of the Three Kingdoms “Biography of the Three Kingdoms has shrunk.

Many cities in “Biography of Wulin Qunxia” are still prosperous and lively. In “The Biography of the Three Kingdoms”, it has become deserted. Even in a city, there are only three or five NPCs. Out of town.

But even so, “The Biography of the Three Kingdoms” is still a very good game.

Especially in terms of plot, it is ingenious.

The second plot framework that the plot designer of the 404 studio is just unsuccessful with the story framework of “The Biography of the Three Kingdoms”. There are many similarities.

Liu Bo continued to introduce: “Therefore, the player’s mission is in a chaotic Three Kingdoms world, while chopping monsters and removing demons, looking for those Three Kingdoms and three protagonists, letting them return their own, and correct the chaos.

“Compared to the first plan, this second solution is good and inferior.

“The disadvantage is that we can’t connect various events in series in the order of well -known time in order. In the plot.

“So some classic venues may not be restored. Or, even if they recover, they will not follow the original script.

“And the advantage is that our degree of freedom will be greatly improved!

“Since this is a story that happened in the chaotic time, many generals will also have a demonized image. Then, when we adapt some classic bridge sections, players will be more tolerant.

“At the same time, we don’t need to be limited to the original time and space. Many major events can occur under the same time and space. Where the player goes on the big map, the corresponding event will be triggered. In this way, the player’s freedom will be It’s higher.

“Moreover, when the players experience these generals of these generals, we can also portray these generals, instead of simple Facebook designs.”

This is not difficult to understand.

The original plot of “Three Kingdoms” is a framework, but it is also the shackles.

If you do it according to the first plan, then the Battle of the Chibi must be before the battle of Guandu. In the battle of Guandu, Guan Yu’s deeds must also be different from the romance novels.

So, what role can players play in this process?

At most, it is to allow players to enter the battlefield levels such as Baima and Guandu, and fight with Guan Yu side by side. In the end, they killed the two bosses of Yan Liangwen Chou, and it was over.

Between players and Guan Yu, it is almost impossible to have too much interaction. Naturally, the plot display of these generals is very thin.

But according to the second solution, this degree of freedom is very high.

It actually shifted the key points of triggering these major events from time to space.

Time is dead. Although there are different timelines in “Sword and Shadow”, the crossing in the timeline is relatively restrained, and the degree of freedom is not so high.

The space is alive. Players can choose where to go first and where to go.

For example, the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi can happen at the same time. As for why Boss Cao can appear in Guandu and Chibi at the same time? This can be explained by theory such as time and space distortion.

At the same time, this approach can also make the game mechanism more abundant.

Players can choose to trigger which event is triggered according to their actual situation.

If you first play the battle of officials, you may give priority to improve the favorability with Guan Yu, and then you can launch the powerful help of Guan Yu when the Battle of the Chibi;

Conversely, if you fight the Battle of Chibi first, you can complete the plot of fire attack and borrowing arrows to improve your magical power.

And there will be a certain connection between events and events. Every time a major event is completed, it will affect the remaining major events in the world. And this provides players with high degree of freedom and certain strategies.

In addition, the second plot allows players to have more opportunities to interact with these generals.

For example, in the original plot, Guan Yu cut off Yan Liangwen’s ugliness and had a clear cause and consequence. First, Zhang Liao persuaded him, and then Guan Yu replied, and finally passed five levels and six generals.

Throughout the plot, the main characters are Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and other characters. As for the player?

At most, it is stuffed into the legs, and there will be no strong sense of presence.

But if it is a second method, the whole plot can be changed.

For example, in the new plot, Guan Yu did not meet Liu Bei, and he was still in Xie Liang’s hometown, but Yuan Shao’s army was not talking about the people. The protagonist’s task was to find Guan Yu. Yan Liang’s feat.

Of course, this is just a simple example. The specific plot details need to be carefully scrutable.

But in general, under the second type of plot framework, these plot stories that occur in the Three Kingdoms can be combined in the same time and space, and tailoring the story stories that belong to them for each general’s characteristics.

Compared with the original fragmented plot, these plot stories are more conducive to showing the characteristics of these generals. At the same time, players can also have a sense of participation.

The difficulty of making is indeed higher, but it is obviously better in plot expression.

After thinking about the disconnection board of Luzhi and Xing: “Yes, we will do it according to the second plot framework!

“In this way, our plot story can be divided into several iconic plots and three different timelines.

“The story story is mainly based on the current timeline, which will be displayed in the past and future timelines.

“Each land has a corresponding theme, and there will be some connections between the land and the plot.”

During the Three Kingdoms period, according to the administrative division at that time, it could be roughly divided into 13 states, namely: Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Yizhou, Yinzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Sili.

In these states, there are many important cities and battlefields.

After dismantling and disruption of various major events in the history of the Three Kingdoms, re -distribute them into these states. At the same time, the corresponding generals are arranged as the NPC, and the theme of the classic events occurred in each state will allow players to correct history one by one.

Between the state and the state, different forces will also explode according to the progress of the plot.

At the same time, at different stages of the plot, when players choose to cross the past or future timeline, there will be corresponding changes.

This approach is much more interesting than the first step -by -step approach.
