    "Magic Mirror" can be said to be a very unique little game.

    The elements of Xiaoxiaole + RPG are matched with the galgame gameplay of different endings.

    Makes the whole game playable.

    As for the Xiaoxiaole gameplay, it is essentially an extension of Lianliankan, and this type of gameplay already exists in this world.

    And it is more popular, so Chen Xu is not worried, whether this match-3 gameplay will be accepted by players.

    Secondly, the selling point of "Magic Mirror" is not all about Xiao Xiao music.

    The rest is the story and the CG illustrations.

    But this piece of Chen Xu is not worried, because Ruan Ningxue in memory has this strength.

    Including Chen Xu himself, also has this strength.

    Simply completed a GDD-related setting.

    Match 3 gameplay, different upgrade routes.

    After the completion, Chen Xu began to write the story.

    In the first story, the female character is a drow thief who went to steal a lord's treasury to help the poor, but did not expect that the lord's hidden identity was a devil, and then fell into the hands of the other party.

    In the follow-up development, there are two directions for players to choose, pure love warrior or tauren warrior.

    In the second story, a female general who traveled from ancient times to modern times encountered an otaku in modern society. At the same time, because of the time traveled, the female general became a powerless existence.

    In the follow-up development, there are two different endings. The pure love warrior is naturally a happy ending, and the other is a somewhat dark but moving ending.

    In modern society, Azhai committed evil acts to the female general, and then they both traveled back to ancient times. After a period of time together, the war was about to be lost, but Azhai chose to die with the other side when he was able to return to the modern age.

    In the follow-up, there are also stories about the zombies and dragon knights of reincarnation.

    Of course, in the early stage, Chen Xu planned to make these four stories.

    The main reason is that you don't have enough money.

    After all, the match-3 gameplay and a follow-up seiyuu, as well as the purchase of the BGM copyright, also require a sum of money.

    As for where the money comes from, it's not that big of a problem.

    A deposit of more than 10,000 yuan is obviously unreliable, but a loan from the payment bar, a loan from Jinggou, and a credit card are completely bearable.

    ………………

    The next morning, inside Chen Xu's apartment.

    Ruan Ningxue, with her own digital control board and laptop, sat next to Chen Xu and looked at the brief and storyboard of a hand-painted story, with a strange look on her face.

    "I didn't expect Chen Xu to do this kind of game!"

    "As expected, as expected, being a cartoonist and a game designer is not your real talent. Let's draw a book with me!"

    "With your talent and mine, I believe we can definitely spell it out. From a book painter to accumulating fans and becoming a well-known cartoonist, many well-known teachers have followed this development path."

    Ruan Ningxue looked at a document that Chen Xu rushed to produce overnight, and then began to introduce her strategic detour plan.

    Such a waste!

    How can such talent be able to make games?

    You must know that her biggest flaw is the lack of storytelling.

    That's why I decided to support myself by creating fan fiction, and then temper myself a little bit.

    But now, looking at Chen Xu's short stories, it's amazing.

    Pure love, tauren, and reincarnation are all available.

    Hearing Ruan Ningxue's exclamation, Chen Xu's mouth twitched.

    "Thank you for the compliment, but forget it." Chen Xu said politely.

    "Well, next time, senpai, you will create an illustration in order, but it is different from the comic format, all need to be colored and more detailed."

    "Of course, the plot of the story does not need to be shown through pictures. The plot is mainly shown through dialogue."

    Chen Xu said to Ruan Ningxue.

    "I understand that making the pictures more detailed and at the same time mainly showing the charm of the female characters is equivalent to the homepage of each fanbook. I am very professional and rest assured in this regard!" Ruan Ningxue said energetically.

    "Well, it's okay to understand it this way." Chen Xu nodded, and then took a deep breath: "If there is no problem, then we can start work today!"

    Hearing Chen Xu's words, Ruan Ningxue smiled and gave a thumbs up, then opened the relevant software.

    The development of "Magic Mirror" was much smoother than Chen Xu thought.

    Some other uncritical art resources are basically handed over to outsourcing.

    Among them, the black-skinned elf, the dragon girl, the female general, and the zombie cute girl are the four tentative initial roles.

    As for the soundtrack, it's not impossible for Chen Xu to do it himself.

    But it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is not that much money. Instead, it is simpler and more straightforward to purchase an authorization directly.

    All that's left is the dubbing.

    Soundtrack BGM these can be done.

    But only independent drawing and dubbing, these two points cannot be omitted.

    These two points are the two most important core points of "Magic Mirror".

    "Well, perfect! But needs to be corrected."

    Looking at Ruan Ningxue's lewd illustration, Chen Xu couldn't help showing a sense of surprise in his eyes.

    In his previous life, he wasn't quite a nobody in the game industry.

    He also met some big names in the industry at some summits and communicated with them.

    Of course, he knows a little about art, and some art concept designers in the industry in his previous life have touched it greatly.

    For example, Yang Qi, who has produced "God of War", and Sejima Sejima of the Persona series, and Tefa Nomura, the art concept design of Tifa in Final Fantasy 7.

    These well-known people in the industry, Chen Xu also had a deep understanding of their designs in his previous life.

    But in terms of characters, Ruan Ningxue really gave Chen Xu a very amazing feeling, and his strength should not be underestimated!

    Of course, it is not without its shortcomings. After all, the artistic performance of the game is different from that of the comics.

    Even as an illustration in galgame, it is different from the comics.

    "That's it! It's really not the same as the fan art book." Hearing Chen Xu's words, Ruan Ningxue was thoughtful.

    "Well, even if it's a visual novel game, the illustrations in the middle are completely different from the comics." Chen Xu nodded slightly and said towards Ruan Ningxue.

    Inside the rental house, Chen Xu chatted with Ruan Ningxue about some of the key points.

    The game as a whole is basically finished.

    The rest is the seiyuu.

    For this kind of beautiful girl game, it can be said that dubbing is a more important part.

    Regarding the proportion of this part of the funds, it is one of the highest parts of the entire game.

    Of course, Chen Xu didn't plan to dub the whole process. In that case, the budget would be overvalued. Dubbing some of the more important lines would be enough.

    As for the male protagonist in each story?

    Is this dubbing? Of course not!
