I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 455

Liangfeng Aoye recalled that in the sea of ​​people yesterday, he also saw the unique and beautiful scenery of a person standing among the elite of a certain company.

Wearing kimonos is not uncommon in Japan. However, beauties wearing kimonos are the center of attention wherever they go. Even Eagle Jump, which has mostly female employees, was almost overshadowed at that moment.

With hair as black as ink, clear and bright pupils, and a complexion as smooth as snow, she is a perfect Japanese oriental beauty.

During the meeting, her status seemed to be on the same level as that of Yagami Guang. She seemed to just accompany the team to have a look and never said a word from the beginning to the end. However, when she saw Li Yan in the crowd, her eyes seemed to light up slightly. She changed, then remained silent, but there was a clear charm in her smile. Although she did not say a word to Li Yan during the whole process, Liangfeng Qingye could tell that this woman knew Li Yan. .

"Probably, he didn't realize that he had been observing the enemy camp for so long, but he found out that his friends...or acquaintances...were on his enemy's side."

Liangfeng Aoye was a little serious. He held it in front of his chest and narrated it as if telling a story.

"...Next time, Aoba, I'll let you learn how to write a script. You have a lot of imagination and observation skills."

Yagamiguang said with shame.

"But it is indeed the correct answer. I also realized that it should be true. As far as I know, that lady is a very powerful artist in character design and art design in the game industry. Many well-known game companies have hired her to design When it comes to game character paintings and landscapes... in terms of reputation and ability, probably no one in our company can match it.”

Toyama Ren reluctantly admitted this fact. She said with a hint of bitterness: "Because we have different positions, the best way is not to get too close. After all, in an environment like business, if we chat face to face, there are only no disadvantages." Good thing, so Uesugi-sensei and the painter lady at Sago probably know each other and are suspicious of each other. The situation is similar to yours, Aoba."

Yagami Hikaru also agreed and said: "I heard that he is indeed a very powerful designer and artist. Sure enough, the people known by Uesugi En, the famous novel thief, are also not simple characters..."

"Um?"

Suangfeng Aoye was stunned for a moment. She always felt that she had heard some information she didn't understand, and asked curiously: "Um, Yagami-senpai, the famous old novel thief...who are you referring to?"

——"Prologue to the World of Demon Hunt: The Awakening of the Pale Witch"

…

In the dark continent, steel trains roared through the track network before the collapse of the world order.

The moonlight was blocked by the surging clouds, and the forest leaves were rustled by the wind. The only light was this iron-clad rail car, which was not afraid of the darkness and constantly explored the most important means of transportation in various areas of the Dark Continent. The scenery There was a light mist filling the air, and branches like the fingers of a witch holding the building kept flapping at the carriage guarded by iron armor.

This kind of heavy and fast firepower rail car that has been rushing through the dark continent is a unique close-up of the transition animation when the entire game is transferred to the location. It can even be used as a way for players to remember this game. Attraction pictures.

Japan itself is a rail country, and this country has an indescribable fondness for rails. Therefore, when Li Yancai selected materials, he used train technology to express the world's highest industrial masterpiece...

The plot dialogue at the beginning was also modified again by Li Yan, simplifying a full third of the redundant opening explanation to reduce the common problem of long opening remarks in Japanese RPGs.

In today's modification, Li Yan reserved the world view in the epic OP, and placed the game operation introduction in the hunter prompt card that is dispensable and pervades the dark exploration.

At the beginning of the story, the skilled and experienced young hunter Ritter rode the armored railcar of "Darkest Day" to the depths of the dangerous forest. As a result, while searching for urban monuments that had been abandoned for hundreds of years, the team encountered... The attack caused some underground passages to collapse. The 21-year-old male protagonist, who had always behaved selfishly and thought he was selfish, was eventually buried alive in order to save his companions at a critical moment.

However, all of this was secretly sealed underground. The girl who sensed that the end of the world was approaching realized that the blood of Ritter's injury awakened the sleeping "Pale Witch", and in the end, through life sharing, the Witch forcibly extended her life. shortened the lifespan of young hunters...

Destinies are connected, and through distant history and time and space, the journeys of young girls and boys are fundamentally bound by symbiosis.

This is the beginning of the prologue of "Monster Hunting World".

"...The setting at the beginning of the plot is probably like this. The beginning of a Japanese RPG game. If more players can interact with the game, it will be more exciting and impressive."

Li Yan looked at the document about the plot and settings of the prologue that he had revised, and thought to himself silently.

The opening and trial play of the game are related to the direct sales of a work. After all, on the PS4 platform or if you log into Steam in the future, it is possible to provide a trial version to new players.

Regarding the character design, Li Yan almost made major changes.

——[Main character part. 】

——[Ritter Groat: An experienced hunter who does not match his age. He always behaves very selfishly in daily life, but in essence he is just a young man who knows the dangers of the world. He knows how to take care of others and knows a little bit about everything, but A companion who is not interested in anything but can be relied upon. He is good at long-range firearms and weapons, and can use various ores found in the ruins maze to modify the performance of firearms. He is a human being who has left a stigma in his heart. 】

——[Aisha: One of the ancient witches who saved the world. She was recorded as the Pale Witch in history because of her pale hair. She has a double ponytail hairstyle, a delicate and slightly childish appearance, and wears a black loose robe, a suit shirt, and a skirt. He has leggings, has a serious personality, and occasionally appears lively, a little ignorant of the world, is proficient in magic knowledge, and is good at close combat. His weapon is the "Black Blood Scythe"; the magic characteristic is that he can absorb the opponent's unique power by defeating the witch, and he can Change the color of your robe. 】

In terms of character design, Li Yan made the most important setting modification in ARPG games. He directly abolished the special rule that women are generally magicians and men are generally warriors.

The male protagonist is a maze hunter, so he naturally needs to gain additional abilities by conquering many mazes. The female protagonist is a witch who can contain all magic powers, so she naturally absorbs special abilities in the main plot to grow as a character. However, many doors in ancient mazes that no one can enter require the special magic power of witches to unlock them.

That is to say, all abilities can be particularly useful in game exploration and affect the training direction of different players.

"Furthermore, the male protagonist's special firearm can reflect the weakness of critical strikes in precise long-range attacks, and the female protagonist's scythe can reflect the slightest girlish fragility in domineering harvesting. This will be more flavorful than a single representation of the character. In novels, this is the so-called asymmetrical setting. If the heroine has such a setting, it may be more interesting, and there are so many sexy girls in Japan who will definitely like it..."

Li Yan looked at the characters in his story and thought quietly to himself.

The whole work is determined to be modeled and tackled in a 2.5D animation style. In Li Yan’s thinking, he feels that his work should retain the unique style of Japanese games in the special effects rendering combat environment of PS4, and match the animation. Weird style, Japanese manga style, and weird gothic and mechanical styles are blended together to create the most unique game.

Since returning from the Osaka Game Show, Li Yan has understood that his settings still need to be improved, and the game plot should be further polished to be able to compete with the high-profile new game "Battlefield Goddess" after several years.

The time is already 10:03 pm.

【Dong dong dong. 】

The cell phone on Li Yan's desk suddenly rang. He looked at it and found out that it was a text message from Liangfeng Qingye, probably reminding him that it was time to get off work.

However, at night, the rain outside the window is still rustling, and you may have to get wet when you go back...

At night, the streets were raining heavily, and the street lights seemed a little too dim. It was also the rush hour, and the station was crowded with commuters waiting for the tram.

"..."

Liangfeng Aoye's hair was a little wet, and she looked at Li Yan who was queuing in front of her in astonishment.

"Senior... is actually a famous novelist?"

She blinked her eyes and looked at Li Yan blankly, looking left and right, but for some reason, she didn't look like a light novel writer at all.

It should be said that if she said that he had been in the underworld or was a TV star, she would basically believe it. But if he said that he was a light novel writer, she would not be able to believe it completely.

"It doesn't sound literary, and it doesn't have thick-rimmed glasses like the school's literary club, and it doesn't have any otaku vibe. Is the senior really writing a light novel about otaku fantasy?"

Liangfeng Qingye kept raising his head, looking at Li Yan, frowning, thinking to himself.

"Well, senior..."

At around 10:10 in the evening, when he walked to the station, he put away his umbrella and could officially talk to Li Yan. Finally, Liangfeng Aoye couldn't hold back the curiosity and shock in his heart, and asked: "Senior, you..." you……"

The roar of Tokyo's vehicles was accompanied by the sound of dripping rain, and the crowded station seemed quite lively. As a result, the cool breeze behind him stopped Li Yan.

"Huh?" Li Yan turned around and looked at her in confusion.

"..."

Liangfeng Aoye looked at Li Yan with a smile. He didn't know why, looking face to face at this upright face that always attracts women to commit crimes, he thought to himself: "No, I can't ask at all [So, senior, who are you?" A light novel writer who is always being chased and criticized by readers] If this is too much..."

"What's wrong?" Li Yan asked curiously.

"Yes, senior... If you are a senior, you must be very good at writing novels, because the scripts are so good..." Suzukaze Aoba asked with a dry smile.
