I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

Those mellow and wise eyes looked directly at Li Yan, which made Li Yan quickly withdraw the illusion that his teacher was also approachable, and he felt a chill in his heart.

"Okay... teacher."

Li Yan replied helplessly, thinking that he should be cautious about his exams and dissertation topics during this period of time...

【Boom~~~~】

The professor's cell phone suddenly rang. It was almost noon now, and it was time to get off work or school. He looked at the phone and walked to the corridor of the teaching building.

"It's me," said the professor.

[Dad, I’m sorry, I’m very busy with work today, I’m afraid I’m going to spend the night at the company again today. 】

A very young female voice spoke in an apologetic voice on the phone.

"Really, then come back to me in two days, just for a meal... By the way, how is your mother?"

[I have some colds recently, because it's a change of seasons, many people around have a cold, but it doesn't matter, mom is all right. 】

"That's fine, then that's it."

The professor shut up for a while, a little silent.

Academics also need to pay a certain price, such as energy, time, and family.

He got divorced many years ago, and now he is back to teach in Japan, more or less to make up for the remorse that he has come to realize after being alone in the United States.

"Sure enough, Japan's animation industry culture is too developed. Not only that girl chose to work in an animation company, but Li is also secretly writing novels..."

He didn't object to anyone's preferences, but after all, he sneered at such an entertainment-based culture, put away his mobile phone, and walked quietly towards the graduate school of the Department of Physics.

When the professor left, Li Yan poked his head out to look at the figure who was far away, and was a little relieved.

"That's great, at least you have escaped the disaster, otherwise you will be fined for copying books and so on. The punishment for copying is nothing, but the last crucial moment is delayed, and the consequences are simply unbearable..."

Li Yan looked at the figure of his mentor leaving with some trouble and thought to himself.

Today is Monday, and Eagle Jump should officially start the game development plan for "Witcher World" in the morning meeting.

The plan for the convening was the day before. He basically learned about the process from Hazuki Shizuku. The IT team, the character team and the music team will start working with all their strength. After the completion of "The World of Demon Hunting", it can be said that the company's fate was blocked, and today I started to go all out.

Li Yan looked at the time. It was 12:15 noon. After he hurriedly ate some bread and milk, he went to the library and continued to study the revision of the game script by himself.

——"The First Chapter of the Demon Hunting World: The Burning Witch of Steel"

The setting of the seven witches corresponds to seven special magical physiques, which are the earth, pale witch, the power of mountain development, iron witch, hellfire, flame witch, deep sea glaciers and glacial witch, perpetual The witch of the sky, the witch of the blue sky sleeping in the ancient trees of the forest, and the witch of darkness who has long since fallen and been banned forever.

The plot of the first chapter has more than [-] words, and it has just been revised this morning, and will not be changed anymore.

The plot also tells the first round of cooperation between the pale witch Aisha and the selfish young hunter Ritter.

The main point of the first chapter is to introduce Ritter's unique personality and Aisha's unique personality. The game is very similar to the description of light novels, and it needs to grasp the rhythm and skills.

Ritter, who has obtained a symbiotic relationship, is obviously exposed, and has always lived independently. The young hunter who has seen many dark sides ignores many daily help and ignores the concerns of others.For the [Witch], who has a lot of notorious rumors in the streets and alleys, it is the opposite sense of responsibility and vitality. As a result, two characters whose fates are connected can always have interesting daily conflicts in urban streets or mazes. The plot can be set out anywhere in the game as an interesting point of exploration.

The location of the adventure is set in the ruins of the ancient forest that used to be the city of steel, and the design of the level is mostly in charge of the experienced planner Hazuki Shizuku.

Since it is a forbidden place for a maze of steel casting, the background of the flaming furnace is usually used to create a game background that is still forging steel. When the maze is automatically triggered, there will be rumbling barbed iron bars around it. It needs to be solved. Turn on the machine, create a labyrinth block appropriately, and use the heavy-paced gothic BGM to render the experience of the first battle of the main line.

Numerous battle details are rendered, and some background historical plots of the maze also occupy a lot of words.

After the prologue and the first chapter are officially completed, the main character design and NPC in the game, art production, action design, and dubbing will soon follow, and the experience required for a simple progress of about [-]% will be It takes a production team of dozens of people to work day and night for a long time for about a week to make it out.

Li Yan's game script setting style is more and more deviating from Eagle Jump's traditional style for younger age or emotional orientation.For more audiences from 11-40 years old, we constantly redesign and revise the written game script.

A thin black robe, a top hat, double ponytails, and a slightly immature appearance, with a serious and arrogant personality... The pale witch's personality design refers to some girls he knows.

In terms of appearance and clothing, referring to the humanoid appearance of the black dragon Nidhogg, this arrogant king of another world has always had an inconceivably beautiful, elegant and slightly handsome temperament.However, in terms of personality, he deliberately uses the characteristics of naturalness, paranoia, too seriousness, strong sense of justice, and good reading habits as the inner character of the character, which contrasts with the appearance to a certain extent, and the performance will be stronger.

However, a game does not have a clear main line, and the rich personality of the characters can solve all the problems in game design.

The playable clearance time required by the game is at least 55 hours, and the rhythm of the whole story and maze arrangement is relatively tight. Therefore, in order to enrich the playability of the game and prolong the game time, most games will design side tasks, exploration tasks, or It's mini-games to solve problems.

"Elf Story 3" and "The Kingdom of Stars", as well as Eagle Jump such as the later work "PICO" is to force the map and mini-games to solve the time problem, and the game "The Witcher" almost makes people think that it is similar to all NPCs Playing Gwent cards with the enemy is the main line.

However, Li Yan did not agree with such a design idea.

"Such a hide-and-seek game that has nothing to do with the plot or the maze ball mini-game still lacks gameplay in the game progress, so the setting is not rational..."

When Li Yan designed the plot on his laptop, he took this detail into consideration.

After all, "The Witcher" still integrates the card game into the storyline, which can be freely chosen, but the mini-games added by "The Wizard Story 3" are a bit cumbersome. Players buy the game more because they hope to experience more from the plot. What a fun way to play, so designing a mini-game for players to play is equivalent to writing a hydrology, which is almost the same effect.

Therefore, Li Yan decided to put all the side quests on the Hunter Guild. Since there are only three main villages and the number of NPCs is not large, the hunter quests are generally closely linked with the NPCs. After strengthening the character impression, it also enriches and promotes the game plot to a certain extent.

The acrobatic troupe's acrobatic performances can learn some unique skills, the NPC can learn more exquisite bargaining skills, etc., how to get along with a group of difficult children when performing teacher work and so on...

In addition, some game collection functions have been added to the setting of Pale Witch Aisha's [Black Blood Scythe], namely, the collection of all enemy souls, that is, the collection of all enemy information, and the option of past BOSS challenges.

"Roughly, the plot and game design of the prologue and the first chapter are these..."

After a busy afternoon in the library, finally, it was time for Li Yan to go to work.

Li Yan checked the prologue and the first chapter of more than [-] words, and heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, he was able to take it out to the director with complete confidence, and let her carry out the execution process.

Dusk time.

"...It's time to go."
