Almighty Game Designer Chapter 93: The special features of “Lifeline”

　　 after a while.

　　 Taylor sent a message: "Oh, vomiting blood. This way is farther than it looks. I walked with two legs shaking like jelly, I don’t know if I'm halfway there."

　　 "Great, all I think about is jelly now."

　　[Taylor is busy]

　　Chang Xiuya was originally overjoyed, thinking that he would reply in less than an hour. As expected, the player would not really make the player wait that long. As a result, I was speechless when I looked at the information.

　　 I just took the time to reply! Then it was busy again.

　　 There is no way, Chang Xiuya continues to wait.

　　 Finally, one hour came, and Taylor sent another message and asked Chang Xiuya whether she should go to the crew area or the cockpit.

　　 Chang Xiuya thought about it for a while. The previous plot suggested that she should try to find survivors, so she chose the crew area.

　　 Just like that, Chang Xiuya and Taylor chatted together, the rhythm of the plot was well controlled, and they always cut off at more critical points, making Chang Xiuya a little bit scratchy waiting for Taylor’s Reply.

　　Moreover, the progress of the plot is also very appropriate, not fast or slow, Taylor will ask some key questions from time to time, let Chang Xiuya make decisions.

　　Chang Xiuya guides Taylor to constantly search in the spacecraft, helping him find food and accommodation.

　　Taylor asked: "I want to go to the stern of the spacecraft and put up a tent on the engine, which will be warmer. However, that engine has radiation. Can you check for me. It absorbs 150 rads of radiation overnight. , Will it die? My spacesuit sensor says that the radiation is about this value."

　　 Chang Xiuya was surprised, what? Let me check the radiation dose?

　　 It seems that this is a more critical plot. Taylor can choose a warm but radiant spacecraft stern, or a very cold but no radiation inside the spacecraft.

　　Chang Xiuya doesn't know how to choose. The radiation dose of 150 rad, what is that?

　　 There is no way, Chang Xiuya feels that this choice should be very important, she can only open the computer and search for "150 rad".

　　 soon, the search result came out: "The absorbed dose (rad) is 150 or less without any short-term effects."

　　 Chang Xiuya replied: "Go to the side of the reactor."

　　Taylor replied: "To be honest, I am very guilty now."

　　 "I mean, thank you for helping me get through today-definitely the worst day of my life."

　　 "So I decided to believe you, as to whether this radiation intensity is really okay... I think I won’t know until tomorrow morning."

　　 "With this happy thought... Good night, no matter where you are. May everything be better tomorrow."

　　[Taylor is busy]

　　 Chang Xiuya dragged the screen, and then went into a busy state again.

　　 "Really have to wait for one night? I feel like I should not be able to sleep well tonight..."

　　Chang Xiuya is really worried. Although it is said on the Internet that the radiation dose of 150 rad is okay, who can guarantee that this is a trap? But it’s useless to worry, it seems that it will take many hours to receive Taylor’s reply.

　　Chang Xiuya stood up and said to Chen Mo: "Manager, um, can I take my phone back?"

　　 Chen Mo said: "Huh? The first day of the plot has been completed? In fact, whenever you reply to the plot, it will proceed normally, there is no need to reply the first time."

　　Chang Xiuya nodded: "Well, I know, but...I still want to take it back..."

　　 Chen Mo smiled: "Okay, then take it home, don't let Taylor wait too long."

　　 Chang Xiuya said: "Okay, thank you, the manager!"

　　……

　　 After seeing Chang Xiuya's reaction to this game, Chen Mo was generally relieved that the plot of this game was reproduced well.

　　 In the past life, "Lifeline" became popular because of the recommendation of several well-known authors such as Ma Boyong on Weibo.

　　 After the Chinese version of this game was released, it quickly reached the top spot on the paid list. For such a simple text adventure game, it can be said to be a great success.

　　 In fact, this game is not a novelty, it is nothing more than an interface that looks exactly like a chat software, plus a chattering virtual character.

　　 Its expressiveness is not even as good as some text adventure games of a few years ago. If you extract all the text and read it, it will become dull.

　　 But the real beauty of this game is that its narrative rhythm does not depend on the reader’s reading speed, but on the real flow of time.

　　Taylor’s every move, players must wait patiently, ranging from a few minutes to a few hours. This form of expression perfectly fits the social rhythm of people in the Internet age. Intermittent contact is not only It makes people feel bored, but it makes players full of expectations.

　　 Then, as the plot continues to advance, Taylor will also encounter many difficulties, and even many dilemmas. It is easy for players to play a bad ending, and every death of Taylor affects players. Our hearts.

　　 Therefore, the players have to check it out often, or communicate with each other, and carefully advise Taylor for fear that he might be killed by a wrong idea.

　　 In the process, players’ recognition of Taylor has been continuously enhanced~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that he is not a virtual AI, but a real person, a person trapped in space waiting for his rescue ,a friend.

　　 And this sense of identity was sublimated in the final happy ending, and the players' emotions were released, as if they had really saved a kind life.

　　 And this triple stimulation of rhythm + plot + sense of identity makes this seemingly simple text adventure game glow with strong vitality and has received a lot of praise.

　　……

　　 The next day, Chen Mo released "Lifeline".

　　 Actually, this game is only Chen Mo's practice for Zheng Hongxi, and it is also to test the current number of users on the Thunder game platform.

　　 This time, "Lifeline" is not on the official app store, but on the Thunder game platform, and the price is only one dollar.

　　 At the same time, Chen Mo also posted a Weibo.

　　"The new game "Lifeline" has been linked to the Thunder game platform. This is a text adventure game. An astronaut’s spaceship crashed and he accidentally contacted you. The whole process is that he keeps talking with you, no The screen, plain text, the time inside and outside the game are the same. Remember, please turn on the push of this game."

　　 There is no other publicity preheating, only a Weibo, and a push from the Thunder game platform. All players who log in through the Thunder game platform can see that there is a new game, which can be played after a purchase of 1 yuan.

　　 "Hang it up, wait and see the 24-hour sales." Chen Mo said to Su Jinyu and Zheng Hongxi.

　　 These two people are also very disturbed. Firstly, this game is too simple. Secondly, there is no other channel to promote this time. There is no official recommendation. How many players can see and download it?
