Chapter 127 More Than Sunny Days
“It’s a bit embarrassing to say this…”
"Mr. Lu, actually, I've been in love recently."
"The relationship is pretty good. I know what you're asking. She's not from the company. We haven't broken up, and we haven't had any arguments. The relationship is stable. Both parents have met. It's just... it's just..."
He lowered his head and spoke even more quietly.
"While we were talking, I suddenly... really wanted to make a love game."
“…”
"Really, Mr. Lu, let me tell you, I have a lot of thoughts right now!"
“And I feel like this game will be a hit too!”
Lu Ming stared at him for a while, feeling a little gossipy.
I didn’t say you can’t have a relationship at work?
However, when it comes to love games,
This thing seems to be promising! This type of game is a great tool for twitching emotions!
Constant encounters, different types of characters, and easy immersion make it very interesting!
Moreover, Lu Ming's understanding of love games is generally divided into two types:
One is pornographic.
One is heartbreaking.
Bowen's appearance doesn't seem like the type that would cause a scandal, but it does seem like the type that would cause heartbreak.
If that’s the case, then it suits my own production philosophy!
As a veteran of the company, he always thinks about the company.
"so,"
Lu Ming's tone was somewhat expectant.
"What kind of game do you want to make?"
Zhou Bowen seemed to have finally waited for the cue point and took out a piece of A4 paper that had been folded many times from his pocket.
The above is his handwritten draft of the plan, the content is
Project Name: More Than Sunny Days
[Type: Immersive, Favorability, Romantic Psychological Experience]
[Core Mechanism: Emotional Weight Interference System + Multi-round Bifurcated Dialogue Model + Multiple Plot Development]
[Goal: Let players experience the realism of love! ]
Lu Ming: ...I can’t tell, this guy is such a literary and pure love type of guy!
Maybe I can play with Lao Zhou!
"Then... continue to speak your mind."
Lu Ming said calmly.
Zhou Bowen immediately nodded and began to talk about his ideas.
"Mr. Lu, I think the dating games on the market nowadays are too extreme."
"And it's very complicated, with all the card draws and top-ups, it's so hard to satisfy, even harder than cultivating immortality!"
"Or the protagonist is naturally charming from the moment they appear, and the NPCs are either childhood sweethearts or beautiful women who appear out of nowhere."
“But in reality, it’s not like that!”
"I'm just a programmer, and my partner is a medical student."
"She saw me three times a week and three times she said, 'Are you incapable of love?'"
"It's not that I don't know how to eat! I'm just... not sure what she wants to eat."
Lu Ming nodded in sympathy.
"Then what?"
“Then I thought…”
Zhou Bowen pinched the paper in his hand, and a shy but extremely serious look appeared on his face again.
"If we made a game about this situation where 'you've tried your best, but the other person still isn't satisfied,' wouldn't it be very immersive?"
“This is also the core concept of my game’s name, More Than Sunny Days!”
“Just like real love, it’s not all sugar and flowers.
"Keep talking!"
"Mr. Lu, this is what I think!"
"What I want to do is... players can slowly build relationships by accumulating favorability, then choose the right person from multiple characters and gradually conquer them."
"Once the favorability value reaches 100, we can...confirm the relationship."
"It's not the kind where you just give a gift, choose a conversation, fix a plumbing, and then you can hold hands and kiss in three days."
"What we need to do is be truthful! Restrained! Delicate!"
At this point, Zhou Bowen suddenly paused and pointed at the crumpled plan paper:
“I also want to design two presentation styles so that players can choose at the beginning.”
"One is the [colorful illustration] route, which is a Japanese manga style, clean, dreamy, and filtered."
"One is the [realistic shooting] route. We can use a studio or virtual AI scenes to build university classrooms, shopping malls, and rental houses..."
"Find a professional to do the dubbing!"
“Let players really immerse themselves in it, just like they are in their own love life.”
"I also want to make the plot more branching, for example,"
"——Some heroines are academic tyrants and will get angry if you interrupt their studies;"
"——Some are socially anxious and need you to send more messages and show more concern;"
"——There are also those who are hard on the outside but soft on the inside. They can't say things too sweetly, but they must be sincere in their actions."
Having said this, he looked up at Lu Ming and added cautiously:
"Of course, it's not over once the relationship is confirmed."
"I'm also planning to add DLC."
"After dating, there are still things like seven-year simulations, holiday plans, travel dungeons, and long-distance relationship lines."
"We want players to know that falling in love isn't a victory; it's the beginning of another dungeon."
"This isn't a game where you can simply top up your account and send gifts to increase your favorability!"
Zhou Bowen said this, then quickly lowered his head and muttered:
“Most of these settings are based on my own experiences.”
"After all, when I'm in love... I often step on landmines."
"Then I also did a lot of research, which really touched me a lot."
"So I wanted to make a game that could help others avoid pitfalls."
"If this game can help people understand themselves and others, then I think it's... really worth it."
He finished speaking in one breath and looked up at Lu Ming with sincerity in his eyes.
Lu Ming was silent for a while.
I have to say that the angle of Bowen's game is quite novel and delicate.
Unlike those love simulators on the market, which are all about "giving gifts will get you married", "licking deep enough will give you a baby", and "my ginger cat can do backflips".
It is a serious love game that increases affection.
However, this game is also very risky!
Especially with real-life shooting of various types of heroines and real dubbing, wouldn’t that make it easy for players to catch a lot of black carp?
What if a few more female anchors become popular?
This game is very addictive, and it is very likely that players will have a great time playing it!
That's perfect for a pure love warrior!
Bowen, Bowen! I really underestimated you!
Is this true for everyone in love?
Hardworking and creative?
You really want to start a family!
Lu Ming paused, sat on the chair, crossed his hands, narrowed his eyes, and began to think of ways to resolve the situation.
His mind raced.
It's so hard! Every time I need to contribute my brain,
It seems that Lao Zhou had a really hard time before!
Actually, this game, judging from the current concept of the blog post, is quite normal.
It is also a very mainstream production mode.
What about slow-burn emotional lines, realistic love simulations, and multi-type female protagonists...
To put it bluntly, it is a "pure love game" that is literary, healing, and emotional.
Nothing wrong.
There aren't many complaints.
If it were to be released like this now, it would at best be:
"Ah, so delicate."
"Ah, so empathetic."
"Ah, so artistic."
"Ah, it smells so good."
——Then the rating was directly 4.3, and the comments were all positive.
I am willing to indulge in all kinds of women, I am too deep and can't extricate myself, sister, come to the bowl quickly...
This will directly lead to your moral debt value being zero.
This won't work.
He couldn't accept it.
Lu Ming's eyes became calmer, but his mind was calculating rapidly.
"It can't be an arty, pure romance, but it can't be too obvious either."
"Players are smart."
"You can tell at a glance that you're cheating, but they won't play."
"It would be best if we could trick the players into coming in and kill them!"
The more Lu Ming thought about it, the more vivid the picture became, and the more excited he became.
After a moment's contemplation,
"Bowen!"
Lu Ming leaned back in his chair and sighed, his tone as if he was telling the true meaning of life.
"Your idea... is quite good."
"It's really good. The emotional lines are delicate, the characters are well-developed, and even after falling in love, there are various dungeons arranged. It's completely realistic."
"But the problem is..."
He slowly sat up straight, crossed his hands on the table, and looked serious.
"Your game is so shallow! It has no depth!"
“…”
