Hello everyone~ I am Maomao,
a game planner of [LovelyGames] (hard life, huh?)
I mentioned before that I would start publishing development logs,
but because Maomao has many responsibilities (faraway),
I have always had no time and opportunity to report to you all.
This time, "Contract Girlfriend" will open a new milestone!!!
📌 Initial concept and gameplay design
At first, this project was a sudden idea (not really),
while making "Hot And Lovely Waifu XXII" At the same time,
considering that this gameplay exists in several games, plus the frequent feedback from everyone...
Sure enough‼ ️We must consider how to expand the gameplay of Candy Crush❗️
There are many ideas～～～
Relatively, we need to consider factors such as feasibility, fun, R&D cycle, technical requirements, production costs, etc. 。 。
For example, "adding combat elements" sounds very interesting,
there are many actual cases of competing products to refer to,
relatively, this requires increasing fixed costs,
not to mention sunk costs,
what's more terrible is that it will conflict with everyone's favorite "one-click skip" design ❌
In addition, if the level difficulty is too high, the gaming experience of some players will also deteriorate,
unlocking CG will also be difficult, which may not be very pleasing.
Rack your brains and think about it... 。 。
At this stage, we are still trying to find fun ways to play ✔
📌 More feasible ideas
1️⃣ Enhance the interactivity between CG and the game
The primary purpose is that many players are concerned about the "problem of the separation between gameplay and CG".
This part of the problem can be big or small. After all, we all know that the goal of playing the game is of course to eliminate the game!
Since we know that everyone is looking forward to it, we will naturally respond to everyone's needs as much as possible when the situation allows.
We also want to do this, and we all hope to get better.
The latest idea is to unlock the CG by eliminating the CG pictures covered by bricks.
This promotes the integration of "three eliminations + elimination to unlock CG + standing picture performance" elements,
which can not only connect the gameplay with the CG (as shown in the attached picture),
render the game atmosphere, and enhance the motivation to play. The overall feasibility is relatively high at this stage.
2️⃣ Enhanced story and CG unlocking system
Let CG theater be the core of positive feedback for the game.
Each character will have two short stories to create a character. Each story can unlock three CGs, and there are six CGs in total (still two modes: plot + free). We are still continuing to optimize this part. Some specific ideas are being considered and implemented. We only provide them to you for practicality.
3️⃣ Optimization of female character interaction design
As a gentleman's game, character design (each XP) must be carefully considered. "Character introduction, scene interaction, character interaction" three points of entry. First of all, there should be an appropriate homepage interface. When the mouse moves into the heroine's portrait, we strive to have a variety of emotional reactions to meet the player's exploration and interaction needs. At the same time, we appropriately add information next to it to let players further understand the character. The overall setting is a kind of "immersive atmosphere"! Did you accidentally see this store's "contract girlfriend experience" on a rainy night? Is it the kind of experience that you can experience with your girlfriend by paying the corresponding money?
“Squeak” you pushed open the door of this store doubtfully…
There are two beautiful ladies in the store, they are beautiful and have good temperament. The quality of this store is surprisingly high!
Do you want to start a “one-day (lust) experience of a contract girlfriend” with one of them?
Well... let's give it a try...
This log ends here, thank you very much for watching 🙏
Our team always looks forward to being guided by players' suggestions and feedback,
actively promoting more practical and executable gameplay content,
and we also know that the game still has a lot of room for growth,
if you have some ideas, you are very welcome to communicate with us!!!
Work with us to make the next project better!
Sincerely thank you for your continued support and expectations!
