The Creator of the Second Dimension

The two were silent for a while, until Wang Shiya adjusted her mood before exchanging thoughts about the animation.

Wang Ze and Wang Shiya watched other people's discussions on the forum, and at the same time they were discussing among themselves. Before they knew it, it was already afternoon.

"Ah, I haven't had time to eat lunch yet."

Wang Shiya looked at the time. The Internet cafe they came to in the morning had only had some drinks until four o'clock in the afternoon. Perhaps it was because the plot was too shocking, so they never felt hungry.

But once you notice it, you feel hungry.

I also stayed in the Internet cafe all day, it's time to go out to get some air, Wang Ze thought.

"Let's go out to eat, anyway, the purpose of coming out today has been fulfilled."

He took the CD out of SN4 and put it back in the box.

"Well, I want to eat hot pot!"

Wang Shiya's mood was adjusted almost as well, and she became cheerful again.

The two got off the plane to check out and walked out of the internet cafe.

There were a lot of people near the Confucian Temple at this time. It seemed that there was some kind of New Year celebration. Following Wang Shiya's idea, the two had a hot pot meal in the nearby commercial square, and then went to the Confucian Temple before going home.

When he got home, Wang Ze turned on the computer habitually, and saw the message from Wang Shiya that he had arrived home safely. He smiled, replied a message and went to wash up.

After that, Wang Ze didn't continue to play games, but lay down on the bed.

"Is this the day of charging now?"

Wang Ze was quite emotional.

For Wang Ze, who spends most of his weekends at home playing games and watching animations, and rarely going out to participate in comic exhibitions or company team building, today's consumption is indeed a bit heavy, and he plans to go to bed early.

But before going to bed, he couldn't help playing with his phone for a while, and checked the game-related news.

Recently, there has been a lot of noise on the steam platform. Even simple gamers like Wang Ze have participated in the discussion. On Weibo, forums, and chat groups, everyone seems to be concerned about the future of the game industry. Arguing endlessly.

But as platform testing unfolded, those discussions took a different direction.

"Making games? I seem to have had such a dream before."

Wang Ze couldn't help thinking about the past. He might have had similar thoughts, but as time passed, they gradually faded away.

At this moment, the phone vibrated, it was Wang Shiya's message.

Wang Ze opened it and was a little surprised.

[Suhang Nursing Home]: Have you seen the indie game award on the steam platform? Tell me, should we cooperate to make a game?

...

[Chu Future]: ... Then, Shanshan also decided to make a game, but she seems to have no idea for the time being. She wants to make some game-like games, but our own production technology is not mature enough, so we can only use existing resources. It's a little tricky.

[Xu Rui]: How about starting from something simple, such as using some mature engines to make relatively simple game types?

[Chu Future]: I have also thought about this. I think we can make text adventure games. This kind of game only needs illustrations and scripts, so it is relatively simple to make. Well, after all, we have never thought about participating in the competition and winning prizes. Take it as exercise for Shanshan.

[Xu Rui]: In other words, I know two people here, they also want to participate, but one can only draw, the other can only write copywriting, just lack a programmer and a planner.

[Chu Future]: Really? What a coincidence.

[Xu Rui]: They also want to take part in the competition, how about I introduce them to you.

[Chu Future]: Mmm, thank you very much!

Chu Weiwei quickly got two QQ numbers, and Xu Rui told him that he had already greeted the other party, so he added them directly.

After some communication, Chu Future talked with Qin Shanshan for a while, and the four quickly established a group.

[Future]: Our idea is to make a text adventure game with strategy, so that it can achieve the best expressiveness with the lowest requirements on programming and design.

[Qin Miaomiao]: But neither I nor Future are good at writing stories, nor are they good at drawing.

[Qingwen]: I can draw, and she can also write scripts. What kind of text adventure game do you want to make.

[Qin Miaomiao]: Of course it is a fantasy adventure, while leveling up and advancing the plot...

[Future]: Isn't that turning into an RPG? For a text adventure, it's better to choose a down-to-earth theme.

[Xue]: If it's a modern plot, it's really not good to be too fantasy, but everyday life is more suitable.

[Qing Wen]: Fantasy stories also have high requirements for art materials. If it is a modern story, many places can be directly processed with ready-made photos.

[Qin Miaomiao]: But campus life seems to have nothing to talk about, except that study is an exam. Is it necessary to write a story about a couple who study hard, finally pass the college entrance examination, and walk into the university campus hand in hand?

[Future]: This is too hardcore.

[Xue]: Wait, maybe this idea is unexpectedly good?

[Qing Wen]: What do you mean?

【Xue】: Uh, let me think about it.

[Qin Miaomiao]: Do you really want to study in the game and be a college entrance examination simulator?

[Xue]: This is pretty good. We will describe campus life, and then the protagonist can choose what to do every day. He can study, entertain, and communicate with girls. Can these things change the final ending?

[Qin Miaomiao]: You can use the growth mechanism of RPG, um, for example, learning Chinese can improve the ability value of Chinese language, playing ball can enhance physical fitness, and the final college entrance examination is judged according to the final ability value, thus affecting the ending!

[Qing Wen]: This seems to be interesting.

[Future]: Is it possible to add love elements to allow players to strike a balance between learning and love? Category.

[Qin Miaomiao]: That’s fine. Aren’t text adventure games all love games? We can also add several heroines, and the triggering of some events is not only related to the dialogue options, but also related to the protagonist’s ability value.

[Xue]: In other words, the time span should not be too large, otherwise the script will be difficult to write.

[Qing Wen]: Just write about the last few months before the college entrance examination.

Several people quickly discussed a plan, including some initial designs and character settings, and he told Xu Rui excitedly.

[Xu Rui]: This idea is quite good and has practical significance.

[Future]: But now I'm not sure, whether the story will start from the first semester of the third year of high school, or some other time, and the relationship between the first heroine and the protagonist.

[Xu Rui]: It's better to keep it simple and design the opening scene as if the hero and heroine have just started to fall in love.

[Future]: That's okay.

[Xu Rui]: As for the start time, how about a hundred days before the college entrance examination?

One hundred days before the college entrance examination?

Reminiscent of the countdown to the college entrance examination written on the blackboard of the third year of high school, Chu Future suddenly realized.
