Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 248 Wife!!

Therefore, a lot of scenes of the commander showing off were added here, for example.

Shortly after boarding the vehicle, the commander looked around at the armored vehicle.

"This vehicle is a modified civilian version of the Bison, right? Although it has been modified, the chassis and engine noise don't lie." He opened his eyes, his gaze calmly falling on the AK-74.

Why not use military vehicles?

Upon hearing this, the RPK-16, who was tapping its gun, paused and looked over in surprise.

"A real expert? This car has been modified like this, and you still recognize it?"

AK-74's gaze finally shifted from the front to the commander's face.

"Military vehicles are too large a target, Commander. We are on a covert infiltration mission."

"Cover-the-ground infiltration".

The commander pondered the word, then changed the subject.

"Your exoskeleton is an assault type, which balances mobility and protection, while the RPK-16 model has significantly strengthened the load-bearing structure of the lower limbs and waist to stabilize the operation of heavy weapons. She is a fire support specialist."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the non-existent badges on the two men's shoulders.

"Well-equipped individuals with clear tactics, yet you're using civilian vehicles for infiltration. You're not a regular army? Are you mercenaries?"

The air inside the car seemed to freeze for a moment.

RPK-16's beautiful eyes widened, and it leaned closer, its nose almost touching the commander's face.

"Hey, what's your brain made of? You crawled out of the crash and not only are you not damaged, you're even more alert?"

AK-74 didn't speak, but her hand, which had been steadily holding the gun, tightened its knuckles slightly.

In reality, these plot points don't offer much "information," but as a background introduction, this little bit of showing off makes players much more accepting of the information that AK-74 is a mercenary.

During the commander's attempt to elicit information, the plot suddenly shifted from first-person dialogue to the game's top-down perspective. On an abandoned highway, an armored vehicle was speeding in one direction, but during this journey...

A bright light flashed behind them, and the camera zoomed out to show the M4 squad chasing after them in a military jeep.

"They're coming after us."

AK-74 said calmly.

"Perfect timing! It's a good opportunity for me to stretch my muscles!"

RPK-16 excitedly pulled back the bolt, producing a crisp metallic sound. At that moment, the screen's perspective suddenly zoomed out, switching back from a subjective view to the familiar overhead view.

Then RPK16 crawled out of the vehicle and aimed its machine gun at the jeep behind it.

Mission Objective: Repel the attacking "unknown" humanoids, protect the commander, and evacuate.

"What the hell?!"

Lu Yi's eyes widened instantly, his mouth gaping open wide enough to fit an egg. Was he controlling the "villain" to attack the protagonist?

This experience was quite novel, but what was even more interesting was the verbal sparring between the two groups.

"The commander is in the vehicle! Be careful not to get hit!"

The calm voice of AK-74 came through.

"Okay, okay, you're so long-winded."

RPK-16 complained, but the trajectory of its strafing fire was noticeably more controlled, accurately suppressing the enemy's movement path. On the screen, the M4 squad was clearly caught off guard.

"Who are you people?! Hand over the commander right now!" M4's anxious voice came from the other side.

"Hand it over?"

RPK-16 let out a sneer, responding with a mocking tone as he changed the scalding hot drum magazine.

"Hey kid, who are you giving orders to? The commander is perfectly fine with us, much safer than following a bunch of weirdos like you."

"We are the Commander's androids! You bunch of lunatics don't even deserve to be called Commanders!!"

The M4's voice sounded more urgent.

In fact, the first half of the plot of "Final Front: Origins" is not complicated; at its core, it's about "two groups of women fighting over a husband."

Of course, the plot is definitely not written like this, and it has nothing to do with palace intrigue, but the way the plot is presented does have a somewhat alternative "battlefield" feel to it.

Throughout history, stories of women vying for men have been popular, especially in the world of anime and manga. Why are harem anime so enduring? Why are "stock market" anime like The Quintessential Quintuplets always so popular?

That's because, as the one who is "robbed," there's a secret sense of satisfaction.

The core plot of "Final Front: Origins" is shaped according to this, and the way it is presented is also very interesting.

After a chase in which neither side dared to actually attack, the omnics surrounded them, trapping the M4 squad. The player then controlled the M4 squad in several battles.

After listening to how the girls in the M4 squad were worried about the commander and how they arranged the AK squad.

The camera then shifts to the AK squad. After escaping the M4 with their commander, the AK squad is quickly trapped by another wave of omnics.

The player controls the AK-74, AN-94, and RPK-16.

Compared to the previous M4 squad of three, the AK squad's handling is more "Soviet" in style. They are equipped with exoskeletons, which, although slightly reduce their movement speed, allows them to enter a precise aiming mode.

"Why are these tin cans swarming in like they're free?!"

As the RPK-16 roared, it replaced the scorching hot drum magazine, and the barrel of the heavy machine gun was already slightly red.

Her firepower covered a wide area, but she was somewhat overwhelmed by the surging tide of mechanical soldiers.

The AN-94, on the other hand, was like an emotionless shooting machine, using its unique two-round bursts to accurately harvest every enemy suppressed by the RPK-16's firepower.

However, there were simply too many omnics. A massive, heavily armored mech broke through the defenses from the flank, its shoulder-mounted missile pods glowing a dangerous red light.

"careful!"

The sound of the AK-74 had just faded.

At this critical moment, a blue beam of light, even more dazzling than the missile's exhaust flame, flashed past overhead and precisely pierced the cockpit of the heavy mech.

"boom!"

The massive mech seemed to have lost all its strength, crashing to the ground and exploding into a pile of scrap metal.

Everyone was stunned.

Lu Yi subconsciously turned his view and saw a petite figure on a high slope beside the road. She put away her communicator, leaped lightly down the slope, and arrived in front of the group in a few steps.

She had long, silver-white hair that reached her waist, with slightly curled ends, like ripples under the moonlight.

The girl's features were more youthful than AK-74's, with a touch of baby fat on her cheeks. Her clear blue eyes lacked AK-74's composure, instead carrying a girlish curiosity and innocence.

If the AK-74 is a battle-hardened and reliable warrior, then the girl in front of you is more like a top student from a military academy, with a touch of naiveté and bookishness.

Her exoskeleton also differs from that of the AK-74 and RPK-16, being lighter and featuring a design full of technological sophistication and aesthetics. Rather than combat armor, it resembles a delicate work of art.
