Although it's just a beta version.
There are so many bugs that it is appalling, and there is no optimization at all. When you are lucky, it can run very well, but when you are not lucky, you will encounter continuous lags, and the balance of various data is also slightly insufficient.
But this unique game still left a deep impression on Luo Shiyao.
Especially the woman who tortured him for such a long time is even more unforgettable.
It's not just difficult.
If it was just simply difficult, then Luo Shiyao wouldn't feel very attractive.
But judging from the design of the characters and some of the texts that can currently be displayed in the game, it is different.
I listened to Li Jinglin tell the story of the Valkyrie Marlenia in the text design.
Hear this kind of music design idea again.
I also remembered the item rewarded after successfully defeating the Valkyrie in the game - "Memories of the Corrupted Goddess", as well as the various information revealed in the side mission Millicent.
Luo Shiyao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
In a sense, Valkyrie failed and succeeded.
For the sake of the agreement, Malenia once again put down her pride, bloomed the third scarlet flower, and finally became the goddess of corruption. She was no longer the Valkyrie who fought against corruption with a proud attitude.
Running water does not rot.
But when the flow of water stagnates, corruption ensues.
But in a sense, she succeeded.
The Valkyrie's clone, Millicent, who originated from Marlenia's "self-respecting" personality, was rescued by the player, and with the help of the player, she was able to pick up the sword again, dance like a water bird, and become the player's edge.
"This is the only way I can repay you."
"No matter what you want to do, I'm willing to help you."
Although this line is not complete in the version tested this time, Luo Shiyao, who has access to the game text, still knows the ins and outs of the story.
After enjoying the treatment of "Mikaela", I can probably understand the Valkyrie's mental journey.
Moreover, along the way, Millicent pursued the Valkyrie, which itself hinted that
[I want the Valkyrie to regain her self-esteem as a warrior]
At the end, when he faced his fate of being gradually and irreversibly eroded by scarlet corruption.
Millicent truly showed the spirit and self-esteem of a Valkyrie, choosing to face death rather than continue to be corrupt.
"If I were to blossom into something other than myself, I would rather rot into nothingness as I am now."
The courage to live toward death leads to a beautiful and heroic life.
This is even just a partial plot.
How many living beings are there in this borderland full of Western magic?
In Li Jinglin's inadvertent introduction, as well as the text of some items.
Luo Shiyao could feel that it exuded a unique charm, which made people want to find out.
Walk on this road.
I was able to witness so many impressive things and so many charming people.
For example, take Topps, the player's other magic teacher.
[Topps, also known as the Waste Stone, gained magic by gambling on life's exploration.
People in later generations will surely understand that the theory that was ridiculed was actually a discovery that was enough to establish a new classroom. 】
Yang Qingshi's discovery of Topps, which revealed the origin of magic and prayer, was undoubtedly a heresy in the eyes of "traditional" mages.
But he is such a small person.
The magic left to the player before death can allow people to deflect the will of the gods with a mortal body.
Use your own power to bend the laws of gods.
With such a spirit and content of the story, how can the players not be convinced?
Luo Shiyao felt that she had touched a huge and very charming world.
"Alin, how is the progress of this game? When can I play the full version?!"
Luo Shiyao hurriedly asked.
He has completely become one of those die-hard soul fans.
Eyes full of [hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry].
"I don't know."
Li Jinglin spread his hands.
"At least, the only things that can be determined about the soundtrack now are the final battle, and the extended login music, and the theme song. It has not been determined, but it has been completed. The current progress is only Valkyrie. , Black Sword Malykis, Prime King Godfrey, Shattered Star General Latarn, and parts of the Red Lion Glory Festival and Full Moon Queen Lenora."
"The music for boss battles is only a small part, and it needs to be divided into other elite monsters or monsters of the same type to be classified and scored, such as Godskin Apostles, Death Familiar, Fallen Star Beasts, and Furnace Knights."
Count down the types of music you are going to make one by one.
Luo Shiyao found out sadly.
It turns out that the current progress, just from the perspective of soundtrack, is only a small part completed.
"I guess the time won't be shorter. This game is very interesting and the music is very difficult."
Li Jinglin pinched his chin.
Luo Shiyao was a little shocked.
Li Jinglin actually emphasized once again that "it's very difficult."
“The text had to be turned into Latin lyrics and then converted into syllables that fit the rhythm of the music.”
"Moreover, both the lyrics and the expression of musical language need to be subjective and consistent with the text description."
Speaking of which.
Li Jinglin rubbed his forehead.
It's really different from other games.
When other games describe the content of the story, they mostly use a God's perspective and a neutral attitude to describe each camp and each character equally.
But Elden's Circle is anything but.
In such a borderline "Game of Thrones", there are countless camps and complex relationships with each other. Moreover, the in-game descriptions are entirely based on the respective cognitions of different lineups.
For example, if I am from camp A and hate camp B, then the items I describe for camp A are very high-end, while the characters I describe for camp B are full of subjectivity.
Yes, the descriptions in this game are all based on completely different standpoints and are very subjective descriptions.
The music has to be consistent.
Under the Supreme Will faction, when describing the Golden Law, one must have a divinity that abandons emotions, deeply believes that oneself is extremely sacred, maintains a righteous attitude, and has a strong sense of mission.
When describing the Godskin Apostle, one needs to have hatred for the Supreme Will, the Golden Law, and the desire to use black flames to avenge the Golden Law, and to insist on one's own sense of justice and mission.
Even when describing "epileptic fire", it is necessary to include "This broken world, it is better to destroy it all", "Burn, burn, burn, turn on the epilepsy!" "Send multiple supreme wills, I will burn them all!" The destruction of the species is the sense of chaos at the end of the universe.
Such different ways of describing positions make it difficult to completely judge them in terms of right and wrong, justice and evil.
This kind of subjectivity can easily mislead players.
But the truth is better.
Whether it is text description or music description, it is very necessary to make a subjective substitution of classification based on the background of the entire big story.
In addition, even if the text is organized, it is still very fragmented.
This is schizophrenia, a severe split!
"And, even more outrageous."
Li Jinglin scratched his head.
There was quite a bit of complaining in his tone.
"In this game, the merchant who sells props also needs to be able to play the piano, and the monsters can sing, play the flute, and also play music and dance."
"What the talent show highlights is the diversity of a creature."
"The design of these music also requires some texture adjustments based on the stories, encounters, camps, and beliefs of the mobs."
What Li Jinglin didn't say was
The old thief has looked for me before.
In these game scenes, if the characters are involved in playing musical instruments, what is required is that "even if it is a unique instrument in the border area, the fingering must correspond to the music."
I even seriously allowed myself to perform a short period of simple motion capture.
Therefore, in these wonderful little songs, there is more work for all parties to work together.
There is a kind of rigor in honey details.
In the midst of the outrageousness, there is a kind of not outrageousness that belongs to the soul system.
"Come on."
Luo Shiyao patted Li Jinglin on the shoulder.
"You should stop playing the game now. Take the time to finish the music and ask when it will be released."
"I can't wait any longer, I really want to play."
"."
Li Jinglin's brows twitched slightly.
For some reason, I suddenly felt that my decision to take my girlfriend to play games might have been a bit hasty.
But... it's good to be hasty, and we will have more common topics in the future.
A girl who can play games with her boyfriend, compared with a girl who only complains about her boyfriend playing games
Win too much.
"Okay, I'll hurry up, but I don't know exactly when the game will be released."
Li Jinglin curled his lips.
"We need to finish some regional music this month. There will be a real-life trial at the end of the month, and a small version of the map that passed the test will be released, with very little content."
"At that time, the next wave of publicity will follow."
"marvelous!"
Luo Shiyao chuckled.
He patted Li Jinglin on the shoulder.
"Then let's connect together! I will take you to fight the Valkyrie!"
Speaking of which.
Luo Shiyao couldn't help but smack her lips.
He glanced at Li Jinglin, his expression was very strange.
"You told me a truth."
"What's the point?"
"If you love him, take him to play Elden's Circle with you."
"?"
It’s okay to be addicted to games, but it shouldn’t delay your normal work.
After a brief period of indulgence, the two finally had to focus on work and career.
Luo Shiyao will return to the team immediately, and Li Jinglin also plans to take advantage of this time to return to China to teach.
As for the BGM work.
There is no need to fix it in a separate venue.
The most high-end music often requires only the simplest production methods.
Music scores were born from scratch, relying solely on computers and software.
Of course, after the production is completed, when equipment is needed, it will also be produced in a professional recording studio. The music production of these large-scale games also requires the coordination of an orchestra for recording.
After arranging the work and study content of the graduate students from the National University of Paris in the team.
Li Jinglin and Luo Shiyao returned to the country.
