Chapter 378: The opening of a standard love simulation game
When you open the game, the first thing you see is the fresh login interface.
There seems to be a beautiful island in front of you. Nearby are fine and soft beaches and tall coconut trees. A little further away are rolling hills and lush vegetation on the mountains.
On the side, there is an endless sea surface. The water is blue and the wind is calm. In the distance, the sea and sky are the same color, and there are a few seagulls flying.
In addition, you can vaguely see some modern buildings at the edge of the picture, and you can also see lounge chairs, parasols, volleyball nets and other entertainment facilities on the beach.
In the center of the screen, there is a cute Q-version font in pink color: "Heartbeat Dreamland".
Even the words "Click any button to start the game" use a heart-shaped bubble font, which looks quite soft and cute.
Just a title interface fully demonstrates the characteristics of this game.
The only thing that is a little regrettable is that the small words "DEMO" written in the lower right corner of the title remind players that this is only a trial version and has some flaws.
Lecturer Ding clicked the button at will to start, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
"I just like this kind of casual game that embraces nature.
"What a god, ghost, fighting and killing action games, I hate them the most.
“I especially hate mindless shooting games.”
This statement was met with boos from the barrage. After all, everyone knows that Professor Ding’s main profession is to play FPS games.
Like playing love games? I'm afraid it's not you who likes it, but my second brother!
But from another perspective, this game can also be regarded as another shooting game, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Formally entering the game demo, the first thing is a cutscene.
A voice similar to a newscaster sounded.
“The world was destroyed.
“Twenty years have passed since that catastrophe, but mankind has still not recovered from the pain of annihilation.
"It was a terrible disaster that almost destroyed everything that mankind had ever had."
On the screen, there were scenes of some large-scale disasters.
Volcanoes spewed flames, and billowing smoke covered the sky; meteorites fell from the sky, smashing huge mushroom clouds; huge tsunamis swept in, engulfing cities along the coast, and giant ships of 10,000 tons were in the roaring sea. It's like a dead leaf with no branches to rely on; the violent earthquake caused cracks to appear in the earth, and many vehicles that fled in a hurry fell into the cracks and were swallowed up without a trace...
The sound of news broadcasts, and the addition of documentaries The filtered images seem to be trying to create an apocalyptic atmosphere.
Just when Professor Ding was wondering if he had opened the wrong game, the style of the opening CG suddenly changed.
"But humans were not discouraged. They relied on the remaining technology and knowledge to re-establish the last refuge on the ocean islands.
"Among the many buildings in the refuge, there is one place that is like a human being. The island of wonderland is the ultimate dream place for all survivors.
“It is called, the Garden of Eden.”
As soon as the screen turned, the original documentary filter disappeared, and the screen was no longer scenes of various disasters raging, but changed It became the vacation island in the title.
Swimming pool, beach, pavilion, coconut trees, building suspected to be some kind of research institution...
The camera flashes over these scenes one by one, giving people a sense of time travel.
“You have been invited to the Garden of Eden to become a researcher who decides the fate of mankind. At the same time, you will also become the administrator of this island and the acting island owner.
“The key to saving mankind The important task has been entrusted to your hands. This will be an arduous and painful mission, but please do not refuse, because apart from you, there is no other person who has such qualifications. "After reading the CG, Professor Ding couldn't help but let out an "Ouch" sound.
"This game is pretty good at tricks. Isn't it a love simulation game? It’s quite a nonsensical apocalyptic background, which is quite humorous. ”
In the opinion of Professor Ding, the game "Heartbeat Dreamland" does not need to introduce any game background at all. Wouldn't it be okay if the plot starts with the player going on vacation on the island?
Does this apocalyptic background have any helpful effect on the plot and content of the game itself?
Especially the CG at the beginning is so confusing.
However, this contrast also has a strange and nonsensical feeling, so Professor Ding didn't pay much attention to it and instead focused on the official game content.
At this time, the real scene of the game has entered. A handsome young man wearing casual clothes and carrying a backpack appears on the screen. Obviously, this is the protagonist of the game.
This also surprised Professor Ding because it was different from other games.
If it is another game, you may be inclined to choose two other different methods: either there is no model of the male character at all, and the male character is not allowed to appear on the scene. Players play from the first-person perspective from beginning to end; Either provide players with a wealth of face-shaping options, or at least allow them to choose from several different male templates.
This approach like Nitiantian directly gives players a male character with a fixed image, which is more common in some RPG games with strong story telling.
“Hey, that’s weird, isn’t it said that this game is for both male and female players? Why does it default to a male character from the very beginning.
“Oh, maybe it’s reading the backend of the official game platform. data? ”
There have been rumors circulating before that there will be many different male and female characters in "Heartbeat Dreamland". Players can choose their own gender, and they can also choose the gender of the character who comes to the island.
Lecturer Ding speculated that if the gender information on the official platform is female, then the female character will be the default opening, but this speculation has not been verified yet.
Soon, the opening animation seamlessly transitioned to player control, which basically included some very conventional operations, walking, interaction, etc.
Instructor Ding controls the male character to enter the reception room.
The scene here is quite similar to the scene I saw on Desktop Mate before, except that the space is significantly larger and the layout is more reasonable.
The giant round bar in the middle looks familiar. At this time, Alice is sitting dignifiedly behind the front desk, waiting for the players to arrive.
Instructor Ding can guess what he is going to do next with his toes. It is nothing more than registering some basic information and then introducing the basic gameplay of the game...
However, Arios’s first sentence The words shocked Professor Ding: "Hello, we finally meet!
" It seems that you are still the same taciturn person as on the Internet. ”
Alios’ eyes looked a little drawn as she looked over, and the two of them seemed to be meeting netizens at this time.
Obviously, the plot of Elrios continues the content of Desktop Companion. When the system detects that the player has installed Desktop Companion, Arios will greet the player like this; if the player does not have Desktop Companion installed, Arios will say that this is the first time they have met.
In both cases, Arios will introduce herself, but the wording will be slightly different.
“Although we have been chatting online for a long time, you still don’t know what my job is exactly, right?
“I am the receptionist in this Garden of Eden. , to put it simply, he is responsible for arranging your daily life and research work, and providing you with all kinds of help within his ability..."
With the introduction of Arios, Professor Ding began to understand what can be done in the game various basic activities.
However, this introduction did not last too long. Obviously, this was not to allow players to master all the gameplay immediately, but was just a warm-up for the subsequent content to give players something to look forward to.
"Then, please first choose the first colleague who will come to the Garden of Eden for vacation and assist you in your research!"
Alios said as she took out a computer tablet.
The tablet covers most of the screen, with the avatars and detailed information of the optional characters.
