Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 41 The Wallet Has Its Own Ideas
Of course, compared to a real simulation building game, this base also has various resources, and players need to complete tasks and side quests to obtain resources for construction.

However, the base in the game "Final Front" is actually more like the dormitory system in anime games.

However, traditional dormitories can only accommodate a small number of characters, since many second-generation games have incorporated the dormitory system into their character progression system.

However, in Final Frontline, all the dolls owned by players will automatically appear in the base.

Although at this moment, due to production capacity limitations, these little people are just wandering around the base randomly, you can still see a lot from this framework.

Furthermore, although the base system is still just a framework, the core of it is still there.

For example, Huang Wenfeng in the video quickly noticed a detail.

"Huh?? Why is there a heart on this 95's head?"

In this situation, a heart appeared on the head of a humanoid figure. No tutorial was needed; just one glance at the pink heart on the head of the Type 95 figure made it jump slightly.

Huang Wenfeng clicked the button as if possessed.

Then, Huang Wenfeng entered a 95-style personal favorability storyline.

This part of the plot isn't very complicated; in fact, it's rather simple.

The scene changes, and the story unfolds slowly.

Night fell over the base.

The searchlight beams of the distant watchtowers pierced the darkness, sweeping across the landscape rhythmically.

A notification pops up, informing the player that it's Humanoid 95's turn to guard the watchtower tonight.

The story then shifts to the commander's perspective, where Springfield, as the head of the preparation and medical teams, reports to the commander.

In just a few words, the player learned a setting: the humanoids were designed as civilian units.

Therefore, even if they are militarized and rearmed, they cannot be simply treated as weapons. They will also encounter the same dilemmas as human soldiers, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

Although as humanoids they can suppress these negative emotions through programming, it's only suppression.

At first, Huang Wenfeng didn't understand why this setting was suddenly brought up, but soon the plot gave him the answer.

For example, right now, with Springfield leaving the command center.

The player, acting as the commander, suddenly became worried about 95's mission tonight, after all, the watchtower was on a hillside outside the base, and he was alone.

A dialog box pops up, asking the player if they want to go up the mountain to check their 95% mental state.

Huang Wenfeng naturally did not hesitate.

The commander in the picture has left the office.

The scene changes again.

The night was dark.

The lights of the base gradually shrank into blurry dots behind them, and the evening breeze carried the distinctive, slightly fishy scent of grass and trees, brushing against the commander's cheeks with a touch of coolness.

The path leading to the hillside was rugged and uneven, interspersed with gravel and grass.

The moonlight was dim, mostly obscured by thick clouds, and the surrounding scenery was somewhat hazy. He almost tripped over a protruding stone, but luckily he managed to regain his balance in time.

Finally, a relatively flat meadow appeared at the edge of the field of vision.

The black silhouette of the watchtower stood silently in the night.

Before the commander had even gotten close, a voice, tinged with surprise yet also uncertainty, came from the other side.

"commander?"

The night breeze ruffled her hair, making her appear less sharp and more unintentionally gentle than usual.

"Well, it's me."

"Why are you here?"

95's voice was filled with barely concealed joy as she quickly approached, her steps light and quick.

This part of the story is very ordinary, but the emotional expression is still very good. With the previous settings as a foundation, players will not feel that the joy of 95 is contrived.

95 knew the commander was concerned about him, and the camera even gave a special shot of the mud on the commander's trouser leg.

The player also knows 95, and knows that he cares about her.

It's also easy to immerse yourself in it.

After a short cutscene, 95 invites the player to the watchtower. The two stand on the top terrace of the watchtower, and the story revolves around the recently concluded battle and her thoughts when the commander came to rescue them.

"I never imagined that at the time..."

"What didn't you expect?" "I didn't expect you to show up, Commander."

"Of course I will show up."

"why?"

The commander glanced at 95.
"Because you are there..."

95 blushed slightly, hurriedly changed the subject, and pointed to the moon.
"Commander, the moon."

A bright moon hangs high in the sky. What's special is that around the moon there is a faint, artificially created lunar ring that emits a soft glow—a unique symbol of this era.

"it's beautiful."

"Yes, every time I see it, I feel very peaceful."

Neither of them spoke for a moment. The evening breeze carried the faint scent of grass and earth, along with the low, rumbling sounds of the base operating in the distance.

The commander turned his head to look at 95 beside him. She was gazing intently into the distance, her profile appearing soft and serene in the moonlight. As if sensing his gaze, 95 also turned her head, her eyes meeting his.

The atmosphere became somewhat subtle at this moment.

The camera focused on the girl's hand, followed by a classic hand-holding scene, their fingertips touching, and then he gently took her hand in his.

Immediately afterwards, the camera zoomed out slightly.

The silhouettes of the two figures, the distant base, and the bright moon in the sky together form a beautiful picture.

Immediately afterwards, the story ended, and a notification popped up in the center of the screen.

[Humanoid 95's affection level towards you has reached its maximum]

【Oath system unlocked】

Should we now make the oath?

【whether】

Almost instinctively, Huang Wenfeng pointed his finger at the "Yes" mark.

He didn't even look at the small print next to the option, which explained how to obtain the Oath Ring.

The screen changes the moment confirmation is received.

The online store interface abruptly took up the entire screen, and a beautiful "Oath Ring" icon was automatically selected by the system. The price was 68 yuan, followed by a payment confirmation prompt.

Huang Wenfeng's mind went blank. His fingers seemed to have a mind of their own, scanning the QR code with his phone, confirming, and entering the password in one smooth motion.

【Purchase successful! 】

The Vow Ring has been sent to your warehouse.

[Should I send it to 95 immediately?]

【whether】

He clicked "Yes" again.

A new poster appeared on the screen, showing the commander putting a ring on 95's finger, followed by a larger heart floating above 95's head in the base.

"Commander~~"

It was only then that Huang Wenfeng snapped out of his daze. He looked at the notification on his phone that the payment had been successfully deducted and suddenly let out a scream.

"Holy crap! What did I just do?! I didn't mean to order this! My money!!"

At the same time, the chat in his live stream exploded.

"??? What just happened?"

"With that kind of hand speed, how many years has this streamer been single?"

"Wait a minute, let me sort this out... You mean, you were a little confused just now, opened the shop, entered your password, bought a ring for a doll, and paid for it, and now you're saying you were scammed? Is that what you mean?"

"Can you call this a scam when it comes to the commander? This is called paying for love!"

"He broke through the brothers' defenses without even hesitating!"

"No, streamer, didn't you see the event page? You can get a vow ring by referring new users."

Huang Wenfeng spotted this comment, which amplified the entertainment value of the show.

"Holy crap! Huh?! I can get a free ring!!!"
