Chapter 184 Different endings of the game

Chapter 184 Different endings of the game

Early April, Jiangning.

Good brother Zhong Shengwei is getting married. Chen Ba gives everyone a day off to join in the fun together. Those who are the best man will be the best man, and those who should be eating will be eating...

Chen Ba is the best man today!

Also serving as the best man with him was Yang Dong. Originally, Xiao Lu was also the best man, but because there were not enough places, he was eliminated.

"Don't worry, Brother Ba!"

"Today's bouquet represents good luck. There are so many people in our studio, so we must get it for you!"

Xiao Lu rolled up his sleeves and once again emphasized the main mission of all members of Tianba Studio: to grab a bouquet for Brother Ba!

The main quest is a must.

In addition, there is also a hidden side mission, which is to take a look at the bride's bridesmaids to see if there are any candidates who match Brother Ba's vision.

As long as Brother Ba gives the order, the brothers will risk everything today and must get his contact information. The main character will do whatever it takes to get the "year-end bonus".

"Okay, okay!"

Chen Ba was very satisfied with Xiao Lu's statement, and even over dinner, he would not forget to help him solve life-long problems. Xiao Lu was indeed his confidant and beloved general.

This year-end bonus must be issued in duplicate.

But then again...

It's a good thing that Xiao Lu has this intention, but to be honest, Chen Ba really doesn't like the bride's best friend.

"Why don't you look down on her? She looks pretty to me. Brother Ba, don't set your sights too high. These are all good girls..."

"fart!"

Chen Ba curled his lips and said, "I've dealt with all the other brides. These best friends have either been married or have boyfriends. Do you want me to take advantage of them?"

"It's not impossible!"

Xiao Lu muttered in a low voice: "With your conditions, if you really want to pry into the corner, I don't think many girls can resist the temptation."

Chen Ba: "..."

This is too true!

There is nothing wrong with Xiao Lu's words. If he really wants to gain leverage, he can easily solve life-long problems.

After all, he is too rich.

Although I really don’t want to complain, today’s society is so realistic and cruel. For rich men, finding a girlfriend is easier than eating and drinking.

Even if you have enough money, you will change your girlfriend more frequently than you change your clothes. This is not surprising.

Chen Ba just doesn't want to fall.

The reason why he is still single now is that on the one hand he has not met the person he is attracted to, and on the other hand there are too many temptations around him, and he is afraid that he will step on a thunder and regret it later.

"Too many temptations?"

Xiao Lu didn't understand this sentence very well. Brother Ba stayed in the studio every day and never left the door. Where could the temptation come from?

"Then you might as well take a guess, why do I stay in the studio and don't go out, and don't want to participate in any activities?"

Chen Ba said one thing.

A few months ago, Zhonghai held a medium-sized animation and game exhibition and invited Tianba Studio to attend.

He thought that Zhonghai was not far from Jiangning, so after his busy work, he wanted to find a place to relax and change his mood, so Chen Ba went to participate in this exhibition.

"Then what?"

"Meeted a cute girl? She fell in love with you at first sight and wouldn't let you go?" Xiao Lu asked in a gossipy tone.

"Love at first sight? It's hard to say whether it's my person or my money!"

"Anyway, in the hotel where I'm staying, there was a knock on the door in the middle of the night, and they just took off their clothes when they came up. Can you handle it?"

Chen Ba joked: "If it weren't for my strong will, I would have been able to meet a dozen cosplayers during a trip to Zhonghai. I would be shaking when I walked back."

"Fuck!"

Xiao Lu was extremely envious.

How come this kind of thing didn't happen to him? He has also participated in many exhibitions, so how come there are no Cosplayers wearing fancy clothes throwing themselves into his arms in the middle of the night?

"Then you have to think about it. Is it possible that the reason why people don't throw themselves at you is because you don't have enough money?"

Chen Ba smiled, brushed off this slightly embarrassing topic and said, "Okay, don't mention this kind of thing again."

Keeping yourself clean is the bottom line.

Chen Ba is rich, but he really doesn't like this kind of decadent and extravagant life. He pursues more spiritual satisfaction, that is, career success.

Playing games is addictive.

Especially when the game you make is recognized and loved by countless players, the sense of accomplishment and pleasure will be much stronger than this kind of material enjoyment.

"I understand, you are Nan Tong!"

Xiao Lu showed an unlucky expression and quickly distanced himself from Brother Ba, for fear of being affected by him.

"go away……"

Chen Ba's nose was almost crooked with anger. He couldn't figure out how Xiao Lu came to the conclusion that he liked men. Even if he liked the Tiehanhan system, he wouldn't like men, right?

"Oh, it's okay."

"Brother Ba, don't worry, I will keep the secret for you and won't tell anyone else."

Xiao Lu chuckled and said: "As long as you don't take my ideas, no matter who you like in our studio, I will help you with assists."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense..."

Chen Ba waved his hand and was too lazy to continue arguing with Xiao Lu. Taking advantage of the fact that the wedding banquet had not yet started, he decisively changed the subject and said: "What are your thoughts on the ending of "Global Evolution"?"

"End of the game?"

Xiao Lu touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The game is now complete with all the plots it should have, and the main and branch lines are very clear. However, everyone has different opinions on the ending of the game "Global Evolution".

There are definitely different versions of the ending.

Depending on the different evolutionary routes chosen by players during play and the completion of plot branches, the endings achieved after clearing levels will be different.

There is nothing to say about Happy ending.

Everyone can come up with several good endings at random, and every ending is very happy, so it won’t be a problem for everyone at all.

But with bad endings, that is, endings with regrets, everyone is a little timid and afraid to speak up and express their attitudes and thoughts.

"I thought so……"

Xiao Lu expressed his thoughts.

In the bad ending, the male protagonist will definitely have regrets, and this regret can only be filled through the second and third episodes.

Regret comes on all levels.

People or cities that could be protected but failed to be protected in the end, main missions that could be completed but failed to be completed in the end.

The male protagonist is not omnipotent.

When playing a game, there will definitely be irreparable regrets due to various reasons. This regret is mainly due to the death of certain plot characters.

They can be alive, but die because of the player's choices or imperfections...

"For example, my sister Chen Jia!"

Xiao Lu pointed out that if you want to create an ending that is full of regrets and makes players want to go back and play the game again, then there must be the death of a heavyweight as a foreshadowing.

Obviously, it’s time for the tool-man sister to take action again!

In the plot, the bond between the male protagonist and his sister can be made stronger, so that the sister's death will appear valuable, and it will also make the players desperately try to achieve a perfect ending.

"good!"

Chen Ba nodded, indicating that his sister could indeed be sacrificed.

But in addition to the sister, you can also get a few NPC teammates and partners for the protagonist. These characters helped the male protagonist a lot, but ended up dying in the end.

How did you die?

Of course, it is the foreshadowing of various side missions in the early and mid-term. If players do not check the game guide in advance and focus on a main line speed pass, then these characters may encounter bad luck.

In addition to the ending of the plot, the ending of the evolutionary route is also important.

Depending on the player's different genres and evolution methods, different endings may result. This is also a good branching option.

For example, if the player obtains the extremely precious Suzaku bloodline, at the end of the game, there is a high probability that he will transform into a real Suzaku beast.

I'm no longer a human being, JoJo!

Different evolutionary routes will naturally trigger different settlement animations when reaching the last scene of the game, leading to different achievement endings.

There is no optimal choice.

There is no best option or worst option in evolution. It's just different routes, different abilities acquired, and different endings.

When playing this game, players cannot blindly choose the direction and route of evolution, because this is a critical moment that can determine the outcome of the game.

"Then this ending is a bit much!"

"A rough calculation shows that there are dozens of endings for different evolutionary routes, and there are almost a hundred endings for the plot, right?" Xiao Lu clicked his tongue.

"It's okay, it just sounds like a lot."

Chen Ba shook his head.

There are more than a hundred endings. Although it sounds exaggerated, in fact, the ending of the game is generally the same.

The male protagonist eventually becomes the leader of the human race, leading the human race to regain its status as the overlord of the earth, create a new era of martial arts, and enter the exploration of outer space...

These more than one hundred endings are just based on this background to create some small regrets or small changes for the male protagonist.

"It really doesn't have much impact."

Xiao Lu suddenly laughed and said: "It doesn't feel as exciting as "Han Chuang Kudu Simulator", at least it is the real difference between heaven and hell."

Either you get admitted to the school of your choice, or you fail and don't get admitted. The two outcomes are different.

Looking back at "Global Evolution".

As long as you persist in playing to the end, there may be some small regrets in the ending, but overall it is still very satisfactory. At least the male protagonist has reached the top of martial arts and has not collapsed in the middle.

"That's for sure..."

"It seems that AAA games don't have plots that deliberately erase dozens of hours of players' efforts and then come up empty-handed, right?" Chen Ba asked rhetorically.

3A games, especially this kind of 3A role-playing game, no matter how many variations there are in the final ending, the core point will not change, that is, the protagonist of the game will definitely succeed.

You really can’t mess around!

It's a small game, but in the end it was all in vain. The male protagonist worked hard for a long time, but found out that it was just a dream.

But for this kind of AAA game, the entire game process lasts for dozens of hours, and the energy and time cost that players invest in it cannot be ignored.

If the game developer insists on making a living and tells the player "this is actually a dream" after the player has worked hard for dozens of hours, all your efforts will be in vain...

Excuse me!

If you dare to tease players like this, the consequences will be miserable. The players' anger will make the game developers pay an unbearable price.

I've been working hard for dozens of hours, but you tell me this is just a dream?

What's the difference between reading an online novel with millions of words and following a TV series with dozens of episodes? The ending actually doesn't change anything and the protagonist returns to the starting point?

What a joke!

Assuming that Chen Ba is an ordinary player, seeing this ending, his mentality will definitely explode, and there is no way to make up for it.

He had read a novel before, and the ending was like this. The two protagonists joined forces to make a plan. As a result, the author was criticized by the readers and had to change the ending overnight.

The same goes for games.

This kind of joke is really unacceptable and the players will definitely not be able to accept it.

If players were asked to choose the most annoying ending to the game, "Wake Up is Just a Dream" would definitely be at the top of the list.

Because this ending really makes the player look like a clown.

Everyone has been playing for so long. If you say this is just a dream, aren't you kidding me? No matter how bad or disgusting the ending is, it is much better than "this is just a dream".

"really……"

Xiao Lu fully agrees with this.

This is just a dream, and it is a huge blow to the players. Unless they are mentally retarded, no one would dare to do this.

Even if the plot can't be continued, you can just create a deus ex machina for the male and female protagonists, and Happy End will exit like lightning!

"Speaking of which, the plot of "Global Evolution" has made significant progress compared to previous generations of games..."

Chen Ba said happily: "The various character biographies and background setting documents alone add up to almost 500,000 words."

To be honest, the amount of work is not much worse than writing a novel.

You know, the pure background and character settings are as many as 500,000 words. Counting various main and side plots, it is definitely possible to make up 1 million words.

What is the concept of 1 million words?

This amount of text has surpassed any previous game. It can be called the game with the richest background and world view, the most complete character settings, and the most complete plot in the history of Tianba Studio!

For this reason, Chen Ba also came up with an idea.

After Zhong Shengwei's wedding is over and he returns to his studio, he plans to contact a top online writer and write a novel of the same name around the one-million-word content of "Global Evolution."

When the time comes, it will be published and sold as game peripherals. Interested players can also buy a copy to read and collect.

"It feels okay!"

Zhong Shengwei, who was toasting at the table with a wine glass, suddenly came behind the two of them and said: "If there is such a novel, I am not sure whether it is good or not, but game players should be very interested."

"I am very sure of that."

Chen Ba thought of the "League of Legends Settings Collection" he had bought.

The content of that book, to be honest, is very boring for people who don't play games, and it will make you fall asleep after just one glance.

But for players who play games and are interested in the background of the game world and the stories behind the heroes, that book is wonderful.

This is why Chen Ba wants to hire someone to write customized game novels.

It may seem boring to outsiders, but for players of this game, it's not that interesting.

Through this book, players can also learn more about "Global Evolution" and expand the game's popularity and influence, killing two birds with one stone!
