Chapter 313 "Elden Ring"! After the two added their contact information. The old thief walked away with a smile. The two made an appointment to contact each other online. After the old thief left, Li Jinglin couldn't help but sigh. Although I am just a musician. But within the larger framework of games, who doesn’t want their own work to become a truly outstanding ninth art? "Assassin's Creed" is enough to be called the ninth art. Even if it's a bit canned. But overall, this is a work of art. Like other games, whether it's The Witcher 3, Zelda, or Big Cousin, it's definitely the Ninth Art. But they are both art, but their aesthetic expressions are different.
Pursuing a true aesthetic expression is indeed what Li Jinglin wants. because The reason why games are called the ninth art is because they are an aesthetic overall carrier. Then, the content it contains cannot be viewed in isolation. Although there is no perfect music, no perfect aesthetics, and no perfect game. But the pursuit of "excellence" is still something everyone wants to try and work hard for. Like the "evil way" of the Souls game. It's really attractive. Silent all night. The next day. Li Jinglin received some documents from the old thief on his social software. The file is not large, nor is it a complete picture. Rather, it is a basic setting, part of the content text, some composition, and even a very short period of actual gameplay content. Of course, this actual machine content has no game content. At most, you can control the characters and walk within the currently completed modeling, making it a relatively simple travel simulator. Li Jinglin clicked on this small file. Controls a group of unfilled pixels. Walking on a broken bridge. All around was a dark night dotted with stars. Then it's gone. There is no information, just that this is a false eternal night sky, and the name of the city is Nokstra. Gone. Li Jinglin was attracted by this scene design.
In the composition of the scenes I just scanned, it is obvious that there are golden trees standing tall next to a grassland. Immediately, he opened the text out of curiosity. "The great Ring of Elden is broken." "Oh, this is the basic setting." "It's quite convoluted. Moreover, this relationship is very Martin." Li Jinglin curled his lips. Interest intensified. The settings here are simply too Martin-esque. What? God, demigod, god-man, different concepts, it’s really confusing. If you are a person who is not patient enough, it is easy to feel that "this postal service thing is annoying to death." But if you follow Martin's thinking and think of it as an "archbishop", "a non-hereditary lifelong title", "a person qualified to become a god", etc., it will be easy to understand based on the political and religious pattern of medieval Europe. Take a closer look. Oh, the dark fantasy version of "Game of Thrones." Some of the settings have a lot of influences from Nordic mythology and Celtic mythology. It's very George Martin. A long time ago, before Li Jinglin made the soundtrack for "The Witcher 3", he was interested in world mythology, especially Nordic mythology, Celtic mythology, and Greek mythology. Recently, he was working on the soundtrack for "Hall of Valor", so the Nordic mythology and Celtic mythology were reviewed many times by Li Jinglin. In conjunction with the settings, I looked at the composition a few more times. Li Jinglin couldn't help but sigh. In the original world, people would not really die, but their souls would return to the golden tree after the body died, and then be born. The fragmentation of Elden's Ring caused bugs in the Golden Law. As a result, the world was full of defects and distortions due to bugs. Taking imperfection to the extreme. In this case, I can fully exert myself to the best of my ability and let this suppression reach its extreme through the torture of music theory. "It's so cool." Li Jinglin became excited. I have to say that Martin is really good at designing things. Coupled with Giger's weird composition. The old thief's underworld gameplay.
It’s hard to imagine what a shocking feeling this will be when you actually play it. "Well, apart from the setting, this text seems to only have this plot text." After seeing some brief settings. Li Jinglin turned to the last page. Only the last page of this document really involves a story in this borderland. Everything else is the setting of some characters. What happened can only be inferred from the set relationships. For example, the Shard War, the battle between Valkyrie and General Shatterstar. But what is the specific content, it is completely difficult to present a complete story. In comparison, this kind of pure story content is really too little. Even the top of this page, which is quite a large section, is still settings. [Shattered Star General Latarn sealed the stars, and the stars no longer flowed. 】 [Soul jellyfish are lost souls that cannot return to the tree. 】 then. It is the essence of the story. Tell a story. In fact, it is a very fragmented text information. According to Li Jinglin's estimation and his usual understanding when dealing with game producers. This may be scrap text that will be stuffed into the game as an Easter egg. [Rodelica gave the Faded One the ashes of a soul jellyfish] ["Can you please take this child with you on the trip? It's really pitiful for me to have her accompany such a coward. And the soul seems to like you very much. You have really good vision. I think this child will also be very happy."] Then there is a picture. The picture is a description of the ashes of the soul jellyfish Kurala. [The ashes housing the soul can summon the soul of the jellyfish. Floating in the air, illuminating the surrounding souls. The crying girl is looking for her distant hometown. Will work hard to spit out venom. The girl jellyfish is named Kura La. 】 "Oh, I know this ashes, it was set just now." Li Jinglin nodded. The gameplay of Ashes in the game is that the protagonist can summon different "big brothers and sisters" through the soul-calling bell to fight together.
It's like showing mercy to an old thief. [In the stargazing ruins, the text of the soul jellyfish's lines. 】 ["Sister, where are you? Didn't I promise that I would look at the stars when I was 14? I have been waiting for a long, long time."] When seeing here. Li Jinglin immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. It felt like I had discovered something. Immediately, he continued reading. [How to remove the seal from the Stargazing Ruins: Summon the ashes of Soul Jellyfish Kurala. 】 [Trigger dialogue: "Sister, you are finally here, hurry up, let's go and watch the stars together!"] [The two soul jellyfish disappeared together. 】 If it ends here. This is totally a heartwarming little story. But Martin is Martin after all, and he followed up with a sentence. [Behind the stargazing ruins, at the end of the cliff path, there is a text message in front of a pair of tombstones. 】 ["Sisters who had no chance to see the stars, Kurala and Kuralis"] "!" Li Jinglin broke through the defense on the spot. Break the big defense. I can't hold back directly. It’s hard to imagine that such a short story would have such an impact on me. "Well done, Martin, well done, old thief." Li Jinglin took a deep breath. Very good, this game is not all about knives. Suddenly. Li Jinglin suddenly realized it. The old thief seems to be a hardcore fan of Jianfeng Legend. The narrative method and approach to work creation are deeply influenced by the Legend of Jianfeng. "Legend of Jianfeng, you are doing a lot of harm to people!"
Li Jinglin had a rough understanding of the general setting. Elden's magic ring was broken, and the huge bug caused the border area to be inhabited by humans and ghosts, with incompleteness and distortion everywhere. The protagonist is the Faded One, and his goal is to collect big runes and become the new King of Elden. It's totally conceivable. What kind of world is this after the Dharma Ring is broken. Well, this is not only very Martin, but also very old. But have to say. Such a world faces such difficult challenges. It’s not a good start from where to send it. You start with a pair of underwear, and all the equipment depends on playing. Step by step through hundreds of deaths. Dragon king, demigod, hero, king, dark creature. Defeat countless powerful enemies. Eventually becoming the King of Elden. Even with very little information, you can already feel the majesty of it. Li Jinglin had a premonition. In conjunction with Lao Thief's unique soul game playing experience, if it can be epic and grand in narrative and art. It is really possible to make truly remarkable works of art. There are many people working on Western-style fantasy-themed works such as swords and magic, and there are even more people working on dark magic. But for now, it is possible to have a soul-type difficulty. In a true sense, it is a game where a mortal can face demigods and dragons with completely unequal sizes, allowing players to become part of this magnificent epic. But there are really few. Because most manufacturers will focus on players’ gaming experience. But the old thief is different. What the old thief said is "You clear the level first and then talk to me about the game experience." "Don't worry about whether you tortured me before or not. Just tell me whether you feel good after winning." In other words. under the influence of various conditions. This "Elden Ring", in Li Jinglin's opinion, has the "qualification to become a god". And, most importantly. This unusual and abnormal game allows you to fully utilize your own abilities and even use avant-garde music. For Li Jinglin, this is valuable experience in the practical application of experimental music.
After thinking about it carefully. Li Jinglin decided to join in! Even if we don’t talk about games. Just the art master Giger and the famous writer George Martin were already very attractive to Li Jinglin. Immediately, Li Jinglin sent a message to the old thief. [Is there a need for a soundtrack master? 】 ding ding~ 【Thumbs 】 [Tomorrow, Champs Elysees Paris intercontinental chat. 】 Li Jinglin gave a reply. 【OK! 】 After reading a text, Li Jinglin, who was suddenly stabbed, seemed to see the old criminal's evil smile. But Li Jinglin also admitted it. This story really holds its own. When he went to bed that night, Li Jinglin was so excited that his mind was filled with "rings". If we say, the soundtrack of "Hall of Valor" is hobby + work. Then, "Elden's Ring" is really the most beautiful testing ground! It’s quite interesting to say it. When I played Laotou, I just tried to play it like Assassin's Creed. When exploring the map, use double stealth to eliminate the sound of footsteps, squat down and walk around the corner, and manually lock in a circle, which is approximately equivalent to an eagle-eye perspective. Then go around the back and stab the monster. Of course, pushing pictures is very slow, uncomfortable, and can cause overturning. The old thief's squatting ability is better than mine, I accept it. So I became a stealth parkour streamer. . All other endings are to repair the magic circle, except for epilepsy and stars. Epilepsy belongs to the whole mail bar for you to burn. The stars have to say that Lani is really a border warrior, and she will give it to Marika Yang directly.
