Wang Xiaobin continued to look at the character design drafts of these main characters.
The protagonist played by the player is Qin Yi, the captain of the AS-371-45 team.
His Skylark battle suit also has a special painting, but it is different from the fancy feeling of others. He just painted the word "righteousness" in seal script on the right shoulder of the battle suit.
The meaning of the ancient Chinese character is "义", with the word "sheep" on the top and the word "I" on the bottom.
The number of the team means that this team belongs to Starship No. 371 of the Asia Fleet (AS), numbered 45.
In addition to Qin Yi, there are four other members in the team with different personalities.
Xu Kaile, optimistic and positive, is a young man with very delicate emotions. The paint on his combat uniform is that of a cute two-dimensional girl;
Meng Yu, short in stature, taciturn, But it is very reliable at critical moments. The painting of the combat uniform is camouflage;
Zhao Yongxiu sometimes makes people feel very childish and careless, but he has some good face. He is very good at adjusting the atmosphere of the team. The painting of the combat uniform looks like It looks like a mecha, with a handsome look;
Wu Shaojun is tall, straightforward, the oldest, and the most trustworthy teammate. The battle suit has no special painting, but it has a lot of scratches. , without any special efforts to repair it.
The synopsis of the story provided clearly stated the general plot flow, but some details were not complete enough, including the lines, etc. were not clearly given.
After all, this is only the first version, and it needs to be continuously improved in the future. Wang Xiaobin’s opinions are also very important.
The structure of the plot is very simple. It is divided into five parts. Each part is composed of real-time CG cutscenes and in-game battles.
Because it is only a DLC attached to the game "Sea Fortress", time is very tight, so there is no need to do that kind of particularly detailed CG cutscenes, just use real-time calculations.
Part One:
The AS-371-45 team successfully sneaked into the insect nest and cleaned up the larvae and worker bees on the outside.
Because it is on the outskirts of the insect nest and the number of insect species is very small, if it is discovered by larvae or worker bees, it does not matter if they are all killed directly. The battle is relatively simple.
During the mission, all team members can communicate in real time through voice communication. They will discuss the operation and look forward to killing the Zerg Queen to end the war.
Artificial intelligence will constantly give orders to the protagonist, analyze the battlefield situation, and guide the protagonist to make correct decisions.
Part 2:
After going deep into the lair, you begin to encounter more and more powerful Zerg, including hatching springtails, self-exploding insects, etc. The difficulty of the battle in this stage gradually increases. Most of the time, correct strategies must be adopted. For example, the baneling bugs must be handled carefully, otherwise the large-scale splash of acid after the baneling bugs explode will cause serious damage to the team members.
Here, teamThe members began to encounter some troubles and needed to help each other, but the overall mentality was still relatively positive.
The artificial intelligence will still guide the protagonist to make the best decision, and following the advice of the artificial intelligence will significantly reduce the difficulty of the battle.
Part Three:
The insect swarm continued to increase, gradually exceeding the team's ultimate combat capability. During the process of going deep into the insect nest, you will find the mutilated limbs or fragments of combat uniforms of other teams. The breathing time after the battle will become precious.
Some team members began to lose their mental balance. After wandering under the insect nest for a long time, they still could not find any trace of the Queen, but saw too many other dead teams. Without logistical supplies, they began to question artificial intelligence. The battle success rate calculated intelligently, he believed that he would die here.
However, the team members encouraged each other and insisted on moving forward.
The artificial intelligence still analyzes data and directs battles as always. In the face of doubts from the team members, it sticks to its original statement.
Part 4:
The team’s actions have alarmed the swarm. Although the main force of the zerg is not in the worm nest, even worker bees, springtails and banelings can survive as long as they are in sufficient numbers. It's enough to pose a huge threat to the team.
Countless bugs are coming from all directions, and the way back has been completely cut off, so we can only keep moving forward. In order to block the swarm of insects behind him, a seriously injured team member stepped back and detonated the micro-reactor on his chest.
After finally getting a chance to breathe, Qin Yi found that very few of the team that had carried out the mission with him had survived.
What’s even more frightening is that the team accidentally discovered fragments of the battle suit deep in the insect nest. These were fragments of the Skylark II battle suit. This shows that humans have already carried out beheading operations before, but It didn't work out, and the AI withheld this information.
The team members were completely in despair.
The protagonist questioned the artificial intelligence, but still couldn't get an answer. The team members found that there was no way out and could only move forward, determined to complete their mission at all costs.
Part 5:
The team followed the artificial intelligence analysis in desperation. In order to cover their teammates, the team members died one by one.
The protagonist is determined to die and wants to fulfill the last wishes of his teammates. But in the end, he and the other remaining teammate were drowned by the endless sea of insects.
The strange thing is that these bugs did not kill them, but took them deep into the nest.
The protagonist finally meets the Zerg Queen, whose bloated and huge body is disgusting.
The two wanted to detonate the micro-reactors on their bodies and die together, but for some reason the artificial intelligence seemed to be disconnected, or was subject to strange interference, and could not control the detonation with artificial intelligence.
The surviving team member was brought to the Zerg Queen. He didn't know what the Zerg Queen had done to him. He immediately let out a sharp scream and died just two minutes later.
The protagonist was also brought in front of the Zerg Queen, and he also screamed, as if his brain was being pierced by countless needles. But he did not die immediately like the team members, but persevered tenaciously.
He insisted on taking off a pistol from the Skylark combat uniform, trying to drive a bullet through the crack in the breastplate caused during the battle to completely destroy the micro-reactor and trigger an explosion.
But this still failed. The Zerg's horny claws pierced his right hand and the pistol fell to the ground.
As he lay dying, the protagonist felt that there seemed to be a blank space in front of him, and the sharp sound that stung his brain slowly left him, as if it had turned into a low whisper...
At the last moment, he felt a sudden violent vibration around him, and the roof of the cave deep underground suddenly collapsed. It seemed that he saw many soldiers wearing Skylark combat uniforms breaking in, as well as large underground drilling machinery...
The story ends here, leaving an open ending.
In addition, the story outline also emphasizes that there must be a large number of lines during battle or rest, and everyone's lines must be consistent with their personality.
As the emotions change in the five stages, each character's lines will also change. At first, everyone thought they could complete the task, but as time went by, they began to become pessimistic and even desperate. .
In addition, the synopsis of the story also specifically emphasizes a key message:
At the beginning, the information possessed by all team members was: This is the first time that humans have faced The Zerg executes the beheading plan, and hundreds of teams are performing this task at the same time. The artificial intelligence has roughly locked the position of the Zerg Queen, and the main human force is fighting the main force of the Zerg on the planet, ready to support at any time.
Therefore, the members of the team believe that the success rate of this mission is very high. Once the Zerg Queen is successfully beheaded, the war between humans and Zerg will usher in the dawn of war.
But as the battle continues to deepen, the team members' beliefs are constantly shaken.
During the battle, they also encountered members of other teams, some of whom had been sacrificed with only a few fragments of armor left, and some who died together with the Zerg in despair.
In the insect nest, they found some fragments of the Skylark battle suit. Many of the fragments were obviously not leftover from this operation, which shows that this is obviously not the first time that humans have carried out beheading operations.
The team members gradually felt that they might not be able to hold on any longer and became more and more desperate, but there was no turning back and they could only keep moving forward.
The team members talked about the life form of this creature during the battle after killing the Zerg:
The Zerg has almost no single consciousness. In order to implement the complete consciousness of the Zerg Queen, She doesn't care about the life or death of an individual; she can use telepathy to share information over a wide range. The Zerg Queen has a very high level of intelligence, so the Zerg's tactical level is not inferior to humans at all.
In addition, Zerg weaponsOrganization, logistical requirements are extremely simple, and reproduction is very rapid, so a war of attrition is pointless.
Only by beheading the Zerg Queen can the current unfavorable situation be fundamentally changed.
So, although all the team members fell into despair in the later stage and felt that they could not come back alive, they still carried out the mission firmly because the only meaning of their lives was to kill the Zerg Queen.
As long as the mission is successful, the war can be ended, and it can be considered a worthy death.
But obviously, this mission is a mission destined to fail, because if it succeeds, there will be no story of "Mission and Choice".
......
After reading the entire synopsis of the story, Wang Xiaobin probably knew what he was going to do.
This story outline clearly explains the entire game process, character settings and even some dialogue details. Next, you only need to refine the entire process and complete the dialogue.
However, there are still many mysteries in this story outline, and there is an open ending in the end.
Is the Zerg Queen dead in the end?
Did the protagonist survive?
This is obviously not the first beheading operation. Why does the artificial intelligence hide this fact?
What is the relationship between the protagonist in this DLC and the protagonist in the plot of "Mission and Choice"?
Obviously, these contents are related to the future plot of "Mission and Decision", and Zhu Xiaoce does not want to reveal it at this time.
The DLC of "Sea Fortress" is to warm up the new game. It can be regarded as an introduction. These questions will keep players discussing and maintain the popularity.
To answer these questions, we can only wait until the plot of "Mission and Choice" is revealed.
Wang Xiaobin suppressed his curiosity and immediately began to prepare for development.
