Rebirth of the Game Pioneer

Chapter 232 The story of reading pirated books and killing people
Apart from the first two reasons, Gu Feng's third reason is very pure, word of mouth!
The only horror game he had played in his previous life was "Paper Wedding Dress". Even horror games with puzzle elements, he had played no fewer than five. But in the end, he didn't do much after thinking about "Paper Wedding Dress". The reason why I hesitated to decide on it is ultimately because of word of mouth.

In his impression, the five works in this series should have been released within two or three years. Except for the first work "NO. 13 Hospital", which had a slightly lower score of only eight points, the follow-up "Paper Wedding Dress" 》1, 2, 3, and 4 all have high scores of nine or more.

Whether it was a plan or a spur-of-the-moment idea after seeing the results, it is nothing new to follow up an excellent work with a sequel.

But most people who have access to the Internet at home have this idea in their minds, that is, it is difficult for a sequel to beat its predecessor.

This is actually the same as the remake of classic film and television dramas.

When a work is successful, a sequel or a remake can certainly generate a lot of buzz and traffic, but in such a situation, the audience or players will naturally look at the new work with a higher standard. There is a successful work beside you as a reference. Times are advancing and technology is advancing. There is no reason why your next work will be worse than the previous one, right?
But facts have proven that in most cases, a work has already revealed all its trump cards when it is first released. If the subsequent work uses old ideas to stir up new dishes, it will inevitably be disappointing after losing one's heart, and it will feel like there is no progress. , but if you look for new ideas in a different way, unless the idea is really outstanding, it is very easy for the audience and players not to buy it, and if you fail to innovate, you will be scolded.

Just think about it carefully, how many works in a series with more than four parts can consistently maintain a high standard and high reputation?If you think about it carefully, what are the names of series of works that can maintain high production standards as always.Perhaps you can have a deeper understanding of how difficult it is to produce an excellent series of works.

So, why is "Paper Wedding Dress" so successful? From the perspective of Gu Feng, a player who has completed the entire series of works, the reasons are naturally multifaceted.

First, puzzles with appropriate difficulty and fun.

Secondly, the plots are intricately intertwined.

Third, excellent original music.

Fourth, while satirizing feudal marriage customs, it also sublimates the idea by sharply contrasting the beauty of true love with the ugliness of feudal marriage customs.

Fifth, the shaping of the protagonist's character is usually ignored in horror-themed games.

Even though more than a year has passed and several years have passed since he played "Paper Wedding Dress", Gu Feng can still recall a lot of things when it comes to this game.

For example, the second-generation heroine Tao Mengyan, who was given the nickname Tao Mengyan by the people in the sky and the earth, and the third-generation theme song "Mandarin Duck Debt" that makes people's skin crawl. For example, after playing the role of a lifelong general, he did what he did to save the heroine Return to the true general Shaoping who sacrificed his life for love...

"Paper Wedding Dress" explains to the world very well that people always tend to see and remember less things.

In reality, people can see various scandals in the news every day, as if society is in darkness, but in reality, there are always good people in the majority, but good deeds and good deeds are subconsciously ignored by people.

And when it comes to the terrifying atmosphere in the game, by the end of the game, the horror in the game is always forgotten very quickly. On the contrary, the beauty of human nature still shines brightly after time passes.

Isn't this a bit of inspiration for the producers, and isn't it a bit of thinking for the players.

Gu Feng has not carefully studied the plot of the entire series of works, but he also has a general idea of ​​the story background of the game.

The protagonist of each part of the "Paper Wedding Dress" series is basically more or less related to a village. This village is Zangling Village. The original name of this village is Miasling Village. The name of the village comes from the fact that there is a kind of flower in the village called Mingduolan, its floral fragrance can turn into miasma and make people sick.

Xuanzang, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, returned from his journey to the west and stayed here to treat the villagers' illnesses. He was frightened by his inner demons when reading the village's scriptures. Only later did he discover that only three of the nine Tibetan scriptures in the village were true scriptures, and the other six were not. The Buddhist scriptures are like a pagan book that has perished in India. They are magic books and should not be seen in the world.

At this time, the court summoned him to return quickly, and the villagers' illness was almost no longer serious. Therefore, Xuanzang asked the village chief to burn all the six Tibetan magic books and leave the magic bell buried in the village to suppress evil spirits. Then he left, and therefore, the name of the village was changed to Burying Bell Village.

However, the village chief had evil thoughts and did not follow the instructions left by Xuanzang. Instead, he spread the magic book to manipulate people's hearts and created the Liuzang Bodhisattva, so that all the villagers believed in the cult, and the people they believed in The god is naturally this fabricated Liuzang Bodhisattva, also known as the Burial Lord.

The village chief claims to be a great wizard, and his duty is to be the spokesman of Zun Zun in the human world, responsible for conveying Zun Zun's orders.

Under the guidance of the village chief, a strange custom has been passed down in the village, which is to designate a girl born in the village with a bad fate as a paper bride. When the girl grows up, she will be burned to death and sacrificed to the burial god.

The story of this series basically revolves around several heroines who were selected as paper brides.

To put it simply, Xuanzang discovered that six pirated books were mixed into the Jiuzang Sutra in this village. Xuanzang, as a legitimate reader who never read pirated books, obviously couldn't tolerate this situation.

So, he told the village chief that your behavior of reading pirated books is wrong, burn the pirated books quickly, and read the original books carefully in the future, and start a new life.

But the village chief was acting contrary to his will. He felt that the books were all here, and he didn’t care about the genuine and pirated ones. What was he reading?The village chief who has lived for decades seems to have entered a rebellious period. Is it amazing that Xuanzang is a genuine reader?Of course you don’t feel bad if the books that are burned are not from your family. You don’t want me to read the pirated version, right? Well, I will read it. Not only will I read it, but I will also share it with other people in the village, so that everyone can read it together.

Well... in short, this is a story about reading pirated books and killing people...

Of course, there are things that make people complain in the story. For example, the male and female protagonists in several works seem to live in the same community by coincidence, and they also happen to be studying in the same university. What can Gu Feng say about this? , I can only give a thumbs up and say "Hmm... the feng shui is good".

After deciding to make "Paper Wedding Dress", whether to make all of them or just one or two of them is also a question that Gu Feng needs to consider.

Since you have chosen this game, it is best not to do such an immoral thing as not telling the complete story.

But if he really had to choose to do them all, the quality of the several works would actually vary, and it would always feel a bit awkward to do them all.

Like "No. 13 Hospital", Gu Feng excluded it after just a moment's thought. It can be used as an easter egg to fill in the story details in fragments into the game, and then just make it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Feng decided to make only two of them, namely "Paper Wedding Dress 2 Zangling Village" and "Paper Wedding Dress 3 Mandarin Duck Debt".

The reason, of course, is simple and crude enough. These two are the best. This is not only his personal sense, but it can also be seen from the ratings.
