Star Journey Producer
Q: AVG mobile games have always been a key project for game manufacturers. There are many such games on the market now. Compared with similar games, what is the biggest feature of "Star Journey"? What different experience will players have?
A: In the current games similar to "Star Journey", most of them are adventures with a single character, while "Star Journey" has added a character switching system to traditional puzzle gameplay and sets three different types of characters. Players need to switch different types of characters in the game and use their respective special abilities to overcome obstacles or solve puzzles, greatly enriching the fun of the game.
Q: In the context, the game puts different fairy tale characters into a world. What are the considerations for such a design?
A: Maybe everyone is like me. Although I have grown up, I will still retain that childlike or innocence. My original inspiration for creating "Star Journey" is from that unforgettable childlike innocence. When I was a child, I always fantasized about being a hero who could help those cute fairy tales. In the game, I hope to bring everyone to a fairy tale world that is different from conventional cognition, so that every fairy tale character can become brave and strong, which can also fulfill the dream of being a hero in childhood.
Q: Every fairy tale character has a story that belongs to them. What are the aspects of the game that reflect their respective characteristics? Can you give some examples?
Answer: For example, Pinocchio, we subverted his original image, retained his puppet and long nose, gave him the ability to destroy simple and roughly, and combined with his cute and honest expression, the honest, hardworking and kind artistic image becomes more distinctive and prominent; there is another character that I think is Pan. We refer to Peter Peter Pan as the prototype, and gave him the ability to blow darts on bamboo tubes, shoot ropes and leap and glide. His chubby figure forms a strong contrast with the flying characteristics, making the character image more vivid. I hope everyone can like it.
Q: We all know that the cute Q version of the game has a specific player group, so how can "Star Journey" attract more young people in terms of content?
A: First of all, we provide players with a different fairy tale, which will evoke your childhood memories in this world; secondly, the core of our product is to switch characters to decrypt and break levels. No product of the same type has such a design; finally, weThe art style can be said to be self-contained and has been highly recognized by the majority of players in product testing.
Q: There are not many characters in "Star Journey", will there be new characters added in the future?
A: Of course. Now these characters are just characters that debuted as Star Journey, and we will continue to launch new characters in subsequent versions. For example, in the next Christmas version, we will launch three new characters, which are very interesting, please pay more attention.
Q: Currently, "Star Journey" has six major scene maps, which are very dazzling and colorful. Will there be more difficult maps later?
A: There will be unexpected maps in the future, waiting for everyone to explore, please pay attention at any time. Happy games are our purpose, and we will not let everyone down.
Q: The protagonist of the comic of the same name in "Star Journey" is a little girl named Koala. Why does the comic add this character and appear as the protagonist?
A: The source of this inspiration is my wife. She often brings me different inspirations and gives me great support and help, so I designed this role based on her and hope to better bring readers into this wonderful fairy tale country through the third person.
Q: Can you talk about the general content of the "Star Journey" comic? When will the update be updated and where will the players need to go to to see it after the update?
Answer: The content is left to everyone to savor in the comics. We will try our best to update every week, and the updates will be pushed simultaneously on the WeChat official account and the official Weibo.
Q: Finally, I would like to ask, is there anything that impressed you particularly during the entire game production process?
Answer: What I feel most deeply is my team. They are young, passionate, and have a good ability to withstand any pressure and difficulties. I am a perfectionist and want to do anything without flaws. When the style was basically determined, I always felt something was wrong and lacked. It was already early in the morning, but we still overturned some of our previous ideas without hesitation and strived for perfection, which is what I often emphasize in the team. Finally, I hope everyone will support Star Journey and we will continue to work hard.
