Heiankyo love story

April [-]st.

This is a very special day for Jiang Xue and even the world.

The particularity of this day is that this is the beginning of the main storyline—the white dragon god son Akane Motomiya is summoned to this "Kyo" by the ghost leader Yakuram as the prologue, and the gears of fate will start to turn.

Don't think that only RPGs have a main storyline, even if it is a pure collection or elimination game, in order to give players a plausible explanation, there will be a main storyline.

The love game is even more so.

If there is no main plot, the copywriter or planner has to write dozens of plots with completely different routes, wouldn't it be exhausting?

Taking a step back, even if the copywriting is so good, it can really write dozens of irrelevant plot lines, but the plots of all the characters in a big era background are completely independent and have no interaction. This not only proves that the copywriting has many ideas , what else can it do?

Essentially, this approach will not improve the level of the game, but will reduce the playability of the game, because what players want is complex entanglements between multiple characters!

It is precisely because these attackable characters originally have different stances and camps, some are friends and some are enemies, players will take different routes due to different identities and stances when performing a strategy. Players will also bravely step on the ships of different camps, not being a double-sided spy is better than a double-sided spy, playing the love game with the thrill of a spy game.

Therefore, a love game must have a main story line. Except for the extremely weird route, most of the time, when attacking a character, you will go through at least part of the main story line and complete the corresponding events and favorability requirements before entering the personal route. As long as there are no accidental deaths or event failures, the ending that can be reached after such a smooth strategy is the Normal-End commonly known as the normal ending, which is the most basic plot line of the game.

Generally speaking, it is best to go to Normal-End in the first week, so that you can grasp the general event development of the game world to the greatest extent, and lay a good foundation for subsequent strategies.With the guidance of the main plot, you will know the timeline of roughly important events. Experienced players can guess the personal route entry conditions of important plot characters based on the major events of the main plot - because those will get stuck in the personal route The key events are often closely related to the main line.

To give the simplest example, if it is a love game with the background of the Three Kingdoms, if you want to attack Cao Cao, then the player had better do their best to prevent the event of "burning Chibi" Big event.

It’s true that there are many advantages to conquering NE in Zhoumu, and it’s often difficult for inexperienced players to enter the personal route of the conquering character by luck. "Game Master".But the facts are not absolute, sometimes players want to enter the NE route but can’t get in, accidentally turn into or be turned into a certain character’s personal route, and then HE or die back.

The problem that Jiang Xue, a love game master, is facing now is that she wants to go to NE but has no direction. In this game, the identity of the player after entering the game is not the game's preset, but the player's own creation!

This invisibly creates a big problem for the players, that is, the players don't know which camp is the camp that the player "should" be in in the main storyline, and they don't even know the camp's position, let alone the complicated aftermath. Intertwined plot lines.

At the beginning of the whole game, there are two basic camps - the ghost clan and the residents of Beijing.

After that, the White Dragon God Son and the Black Dragon God Son appeared, and Abe Seimei's Onmyoji camp was drawn from the Earth Xuanwu Abe Yasuaki.

Without knowing which road is the widest road, Jiang Xue can only take one step at a time.

The main plot has a characteristic, that is, major events will run through the plots of most of the characters. Just look at which events in different camps will inevitably intersect, and you can roughly guess which events are "inevitable" to happen—these "necessary" " is the "main line".Because the "branch" depends on the player's choice.

After several weeks of strategies, Jiang Xue clearly saw the importance of the "Bailong Shenzi" in the entire game. She was [-]% sure that the main plot revolved around the Bailong Shenzi until she captured Yuangong Qian. After the week of the show, she was absolutely sure of it.

Only "Bailong Shenzi" can connect people from different camps in Beijing - Bailong Shenzi wants to protect Beijing, Baye wants to protect Bailong Shenzi, Onmyoji wants to protect Beijing, Black Dragon Shenzi opposes Bailong Shenzi, ghosts The clan wanted to use the power of the White Dragon God Son to destroy Jing.It is "Bailong Shenzi" who connects all the plot lines and characters. She is the most indispensable key figure in this picture.

No matter Jiang Xue stood in the camp of the White Dragon God Son, the Black Dragon God Son, the Ghost Clan, or the Onmyoji, Yuan Gongqian would always encounter something.

Was summoned to Beijing, got to know Yakulam, fell in love with Yakuram, the leader of the ghost clan, the black dragon god son pretended to be the white dragon god son, the curse of the lyre, looking for the heaven and earth four directions amulet, was cursed by Yakuram when summoning the four gods, eight leaves Lost the memory of Shenzi, lifted the curse to retrieve Yaye, and summoned the white dragon to save Jing.

This is a clear plot line.

Begins on April [-]st and ends on April [-]th of the following year.

If the player does not interfere, then no matter how many times Jiang Xue restarts the game, Yuan Gongqian will always follow this "fate", and those eight leaves will also fall in love with Shenzi according to "fate", and the leader of the ghost clan will Hopelessly attracted to Bailong Shenzi, Heilong Shenzi will also settle down with her.

This is a perfect heroine route, being protected, loved, and cared for. Even if she doesn't do anything special, it is estimated that she can play more than 70% of the game's entire branch line.

It's a pity that this game doesn't assign the identity of Bailong Shenzi to the player.

However, it is precisely because of the difficulty that the sense of accomplishment of a successful strategy will increase.

In a sense, what Jiang Xue has to do is to snatch the strategy characters from "fate"—to snatch their hearts before they "fall in love" with God Son Bailong.It's not that Jiang Xue will have any opinion on Yuan Gongqian because of this, Yuan Gongqian is just arranged by fate.

The "destiny" of everyone in this whole world has already been decided, and only Jiang Xue, who is an outsider, has the ability to touch the thread of fate.

When Jiang Xue launches a strategy, the change of fate will affect the future.

The fate of these people is in the hands of the player - those characters who must die in the plot can be rescued by the player, those who are hated can be supported by others, those who have achieved success can plummet, and those who are indifferent and serious will become gentle, Those who are passionate will become dedicated, those who are naive will become mature and reliable, and those who are ruthless will become kind and considerate.

All of this changes depending on the player's choices.

How many people will not be tempted by this sense of dominance of "I can influence his fate"?

This is part of the attractive charm of love development games.

"The beginning of destiny..."

On the morning of April [-]st, Jiang Xue got up just after dawn. This was an important day, and she had to dress up to welcome it.

When Bailong Shenzi appeared, the prologue of her strategy officially ended, and she entered the common route strategy afterwards.

Before saving the file for future strategy needs, Jiang Xue opened the system panel to confirm all her current data.

Jiang Xue mainly looked at the favorability of familiar characters. As for the unreasonable [-] or [-] favorability of many passers-by, she could only live up to it.

Based on such statistics, it is not surprising that Fujihime has a high degree of favorability. After all, she spent a lot of effort in brushing at the beginning.

Mr. Fujiwara, Mrs. Rinko, and Fujiwara Takamichi are all family routes, so it's not surprising that there are so many of them.

Minamoto Laiku is a loyal dog, and a favorability of 30 is not too much.

Abe Seimei's favorability...couldn't she copy the books for him as a coolie?Thinking about it this way, she hasn't finished copying those books before - after playing a ball, the White Dragon God child will appear, and the intensive common route strategy is about to begin, and she actually has to go to Abe Seimei's house to copy the books, What will happen in the end?Did she HE with the book? !

Eh, no, if she conquers the god general Suzaku, it doesn't seem to be a big problem even if she stays at Abe Seimei's house.God General Suzaku has 30 favorability points.Before, the god general Suzaku avoided her because Mrs. Rinko cursed Dingzi Zhonggong, and Abe Seimei had to avoid it. The god general Suzaku who was sent to the palace to destroy demons and protect Dingzi Zhonggong also avoided her because of this, now The problem is solved, if you go to Abe Seimei's house again, you should be able to meet the god general Suzaku.

Yongquan's favorability degree is 30, just reaching the boundary between acquaintances and friends, and the two are also considered bosom friends. If they play together in the future, it should increase even more.

On the contrary, Tachibana Youya's favorability degree is very ghostly - 55? !Takamichi Fujiwara is only 50, how many times has Tachibana Youya met her?Why can it rise to 55?This is almost the lowest standard of the love line.Oh, by the way, that inexplicable first meeting with Tachibana Youya skyrocketed her favorability by 40 points.Sure enough, Tachibana Youya likes noble girls. She wanted to attack Tachibana Youya when she was a commoner, but begging for favorability was useless.

Is Ma Cang Ye Wang's affection for her as high as 60?

Jiang Xue expressed doubts.

Look at how Fujihime treated her when her favorability was 60, and how Mrs. Lunzi treated her when her favorability was 60, not to mention how gentle and considerate Lanji and Gou Chen were when they reached 60.Ma Cang Ye Wang's favorability is definitely mutated. Before the two officially became friends, he was more gentle. Now, his sharp teeth and sharp mouth always make people itchy...

Jiang Xue laughed after thinking about it.

In fact, she can also understand the reason for Ma Cang Yewang's change of attitude - he will be more polite and considerate to strangers, and the more he is close to people, the easier it is to show his original appearance.So is she herself.

Such a friend... She likes it very much.
