In theory, "Tale of Wuxia 3: Swords of the Future" could be played on an infinite loop. One cycle, two cycles, three cycles …
There were many endings to the main quest. It felt like a dating sim. Different choices would lead to different endings. Some would end up alone for life, while others would end up as the perfect couple with the first heroine. However, that would mean giving up on the second heroine. Of course, Zhao Youyue had chosen the path of a holy monk. Of course, she did not care about women at all.
However, this did not stop the female characters from flying into the flames like moths to a flame. Ah Guang always chose to help them.
The ending of Zhao Youyue's main quest was neither good nor bad. She did not choose to kill the tyrant of a certain country, which led to the destruction of the people. But this could be considered as an internal conflict between humans. There were demons and ghosts in the game, and "Ah Guang" would not show any mercy to them.
In the end, the holy monk, Ah Guang, chose to guard the birthplace of demons and ghosts — — the vault of the abyss. This was a natural crack in time and space, and it was invaded by countless monsters. He vowed not to become a Buddha until "hell" was empty.
It took Zhao Youyue five days to complete this ending. She had spent at least twelve hours a day on the game. She did not care about the side quests at all. There were still many achievements that she had yet to collect. This showed how grand and playable this game was.
Many of the cutscenes were visually stunning, and the music was inexplicably passionate. In the end, Ah Guang made such a choice. Many viewers in the live streaming room sent such comments — —
"I'm inexplicably touched. I thought that Lady Ah Yu was just messing around. I did not expect Ah Guang to become a holy monk, and even choose to guard the vault of the abyss …"
"She has such a high level of awareness. I've seen many guides that teach players how to achieve the harem ending."
"This is a good game. After watching Lady Ah Yu's live streaming, I've decided to get my hands on it and play it according to the guide!"
"Zha Feng's games are truly exquisite. The world he came up with is quite interesting, especially the setting of the Samsara Temple. Unfortunately, the level of martial arts is still too low …"
"That's how it feels. If the level of the martial arts is too high and the martial arts are too fantastical, then it won't feel like a hardcore game, okay? This is essentially an action game! "
…
After Zhao Youyue finished playing the game, she purposely found the official novel of the "Tale of Wuxia" series to read. She found that the plot of the novel was quite ordinary. Well, there was no such thing as a classic in the Wuxia novels of this world.
The official novel was a POV novel. There was no main character, only the main characters. For example, the first and second female protagonists were the main characters in the novel. The plot would unfold from their point of view.
However, Zhao Youyue felt that both the first heroine, Cheng Shan, and the second heroine, Luo Siqi, were rather mediocre.
Cheng Shan was a strong woman. In the chaotic world set in the game's background, she was born an orphan and was raised as a death warrior. She used her saber to demonstrate her martial arts. At the same time, she was very loyal to the country she was born in, Great Chu. Only I, Great Chu, would rather die singing in the rain than live under someone else's roof!
However, Great Chu was still destroyed. This was very embarrassing.
Of course, in the game, this was very sad. If you chose not to save the first heroine, she would basically choose to die for her country. After saving her, there would be a big side quest to restore the country.
The second heroine, Luo Siqi, was the daughter of a rich family in a small, secluded country, Jin. She had been yearning for Jianghu since she was young. She had a naive personality, but her dreams were shattered when she first entered Jianghu. Jianghu was just too dangerous! How could it be as beautiful as she imagined?
Fortunately, there was a protagonist in the game, and he managed to save the damsel in distress. Of course, due to the game's difficulty, there were always situations where the hero failed to save the damsel in distress, and both of them died, or the second heroine was directly killed …
Also, this side quest had a time limit. If you did not go to Jin in a certain year, and only went there after you had mastered your martial arts, you would find that the second heroine, Luo Siqi, was either dead for a long time, or had been kidnapped by some foreign country to be a female slave. Her children were all over the place!
Some players, of course, called this one of Zha Feng's evil intentions. It was simply forcing you to risk your life to open this side quest. How could you wait until you had mastered your martial arts before going to save the damsel in distress?
In addition to the first and second heroines, in the new DLC, there was also a female supporting character from the previous Tale of Wuxia, Ye Honglian. She was known as the "Red Lotus Deity", but she was a murderous demoness. To open this side quest, it depended on whether the players would join her in her evil ways, or if they could reform her and make her turn over a new leaf …
In addition to these three heroines, there were also many smaller side quests. There would be some one-night stands. After all, as a member of the Jianghu, there was nothing wrong with having sex with someone they liked. There were also brothels in every country and sphere of influence. Some players would visit the brothels first when they arrived in a new country. It was said that once you had sex with all the prostitutes in the game, you would unlock the "King of Jianghu" achievement.
There were so many female characters in the game, and there were many large-scale animated CGs. It could be seen that this game was geared towards the male community. Of course, if you played as a female character, there would be emotional scenes, but they would be between two girls. This was the hidden yuri line …
It was a pity that Zha Feng did not create any gay lines. It was clear that he was indeed a straight man. Deep down, he probably looked down on female players. He felt that with their weak hands and timid personalities, they would never be able to appreciate the cruelty and dark beauty of his game.
As it turned out, not only were there very few female players in this game, but there were also not as many male players as he had imagined. Such a well-made triple-A masterpiece could probably barely break even. Want to make a fortune? That was impossible!
However, for a game designer like Zha Feng, who had dreams and pursuits (and most importantly, money), he did not make games for the sake of making money. He did it for the sake of his emotions. That was why he did not care how many people bought the game.
At this time, Zha Feng was working on the second downloadable content of the game. At the same time, he was optimizing some of the areas in the previous game that could be filled with bugs. He wanted to maintain the game's difficulty so that players who wanted to cheat would continue to be abused …
Those who were familiar with Zha Feng's style would know that this second downloadable content would definitely have a female main character. Then, of course, it would be possible to conquer it!
Other than asking the company's plot planners to come up with the plot for him, Zha Feng would also come up with the plot himself. He would portray the feelings of martial arts in his heart, even if those feelings had completely become his bad taste …
