When I Write a Bug It Becomes the Core Gameplay - Chapter 378

Chapter 378 The opening of a standard dating simulation game

 When you open the game, the first thing you see is the fresh login interface.

There seems to be a beautiful island in front of you. Nearby are fine and soft sandy beaches and tall coconut trees. A little further away are rolling hills and lush vegetation on the mountains.

There is an endless sea on the side, the water is blue, the wind is calm, the sea and the sky are the same color at the junction of the distance, and there are a few seagulls flying.

In addition, some modern buildings can be vaguely seen at the edge of the picture, and recreational facilities such as deck chairs, parasols, and volleyball nets can also be seen on the beach.

 In the center of the screen, there is a cute Q-version font in pink color: “Heartbeat Dreamland”.

Even the words “Click any button to start the game” are written in a heart-shaped bubble font, which looks quite soft and cute.

Just a title screen fully demonstrates the characteristics of this game.

The only regret is that the small words “DEMO” written in the lower right corner of the title remind players that this is only a trial version and has some flaws.

 Lecturer Ding clicked the button at will to start, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

“I just like this kind of casual game that embraces nature.

“What the hell, I hate action games where you fight and kill.

 “I especially hate mindless shooting games.”

 This speech was met with boos from the barrage. After all, everyone knows that Professor Ding’s main profession is to play FPS games.

Like to play love games? I’m afraid it’s not you who likes it, but my second brother!

But from another perspective, this game can also be regarded as another shooting game, and there is nothing wrong with it.

  officially enter the game demo, first there is a cutscene.

 A voice similar to that of a newscaster sounded.

 “The world is destroyed.

“Twenty years have passed since that catastrophe, but mankind has still not recovered from the pain of annihilation.

“It was a terrible disaster that destroyed almost everything that humanity had ever had.”

 On the screen, there are scenes of some large-scale disasters.

Volcanoes spewed flames, and billowing smoke covered the sky; meteorites fell from the sky, smashing huge mushroom clouds; huge tsunamis swept in, engulfing cities along the coast, and giant ships of 10,000 tons were like dead leaves in the roaring sea. There were no branches to rely on; the violent earthquake caused cracks to appear in the earth, and many vehicles that had fled in a hurry fell into the cracks and were swallowed up without a trace…

ˆThe sound of news broadcasts and the images with documentary filters seem to be trying to create an apocalyptic atmosphere.

Just when Professor Ding was wondering whether he had opened the wrong game, the style of the opening CG suddenly changed.

“But humans were not discouraged. They relied on the remaining technology and knowledge to re-establish their last refuge on the ocean archipelago.

“Among the many buildings in the shelter, there is an island that is like a paradise on earth, which is the ultimate dream place for all survivors.

 “It is called, the Garden of Eden.”

As soon as the picture turned, the original documentary filter disappeared, and the picture was no longer scenes of various disasters, but the vacation island in the title.

 Swimming pool, beach, pavilion, coconut trees, building suspected to be some kind of research institution…

 The camera flashes over these scenes one by one, giving people a sense of time travel.

“You have been invited to the Garden of Eden to become a researcher who decides the fate of mankind. At the same time, you will also become the administrator of this island and its acting island owner.

“The important task of saving mankind has been entrusted to your hands. This will be an arduous and painful mission, but please do not refuse, because apart from you, there is no other person who has such qualifications.” .     Lecturer Ding couldn’t help but let out a “huh” sound after watching the CG.

“This game is pretty good at playing tricks. Isn’t it a love simulation game? It has a nonsensical apocalyptic background, which is quite humorous.”

In Lecturer Ding’s view, the game “Heartbeat Dreamland” does not need to introduce any game background at all. Wouldn’t it be okay if the plot starts with the player going on vacation on an island?

Does this apocalyptic background have any helpful effect on the plot and content of the game itself?

Especially the CG at the beginning is so confusing.

However, this contrast also has a strange and nonsensical feeling, so Professor Ding didn’t pay much attention to it and turned to focus on the official game content.

At this time, the real scene of the game has entered, and a handsome young man wearing casual clothes and carrying a backpack appears on the screen. Obviously, this is the protagonist of the game.

 This also surprised Lecturer Ding because it is different from other games.

If it were other games, they might be inclined to use two different methods: either they would not make male character models at all, and they would not let male characters appear on the scene, and players would play from a first-person perspective from beginning to end; or they would provide players with rich face-shaping options, or at least the ability to choose from several different male templates.

This approach like Nitiantian directly gives players a male character with a fixed image, which is more common in some RPG games with strong story.

“Hey, that’s strange. Isn’t it said that this game is for both male and female players? Why does it default to a male character from the beginning?

“Oh, maybe the background data of the official game platform is read?”

　　There have been rumors circulating before that there will be many different male and female characters in “Heartbeat Dreamland”. Players can choose their own gender, and they can also choose the gender of the character who comes to the island.

Lecturer Ding speculated that if the gender information on the official platform is female, then the female character will be the default opening, but this speculation has not been verified yet.

 Very quickly, the opening animation seamlessly transitioned to player control, which basically involved some very conventional operations, walking, interaction, etc.

 Lecturer Ding controls the male character to enter the reception room.

The scene here is quite similar to the scene I saw on Desktop Mate before, except that the space is significantly larger and the layout is more reasonable.

 The giant round bar in the middle looks very familiar. At this time, Arios is sitting dignifiedly behind the front desk, waiting for the players to arrive.

  What to do next, Professor Ding can guess with his toes. It is nothing more than registering some basic information and then introducing the basic gameplay of the game…

However, Alice’s first words shocked Professor Ding: “Hello, we finally meet!

 “It seems like you are still the same taciturn person as on the Internet.”

 Alios’ eyes looked a little drawn as she looked over, and the two of them felt like they were meeting netizens.

 Obviously, the plot of Elrios continues the content of Desktop Companion. When the system detects that the player has installed Desktop Companion, Arios will greet the player like this; if the player does not have Desktop Companion installed, Arios will say that this is the first time they have met.

 In both cases, Elrios will introduce herself, but the wording will be slightly different.

“Although we have been chatting online for a long time, you still don’t know what my job is, right?

“I am the receptionist in this Garden of Eden. To put it simply, I am responsible for arranging your daily life and research work, and providing you with all kinds of help that I can…”

 With the introduction of Alios, Professor Ding began to understand the various basic activities that can be performed in the game.

However, this introduction did not last too long. Obviously, it was not intended to allow players to master all the gameplay at once, but was just a warm-up for the subsequent content to give players something to look forward to.

“Then, please choose the first colleague who will come to the Garden of Eden for vacation and assist you in your research!”

 Alios said as she took out a tablet.

 The tablet covers most of the screen, with the avatars and detailed information of the optional characters on it.
