Chapter 1: Moving into Qixia Apartment and Meeting Her Flavorful “Roommates”

这种质量的游戏是怎么敢收钱的? 玩完第二章,撑不下去了,没有人类了。 ①全程AI立绘和AI背景。 虽然简介标注了这点,但这游戏的女主不是美术生吗?地狱笑话了属于是。 对话框是偷懒的黑色渐变,导致上下屏幕亮度差距过大,加上文本字号偏小且行距过短,总之就是伤眼睛。 几乎没有任何演出,没有音效、没有cg,甚至连立绘都没有简单的位移动画,要是全程真人绘画还能理解,问题你都用ai了还能这么偷懒? ②写作极其怪味,“视觉小说作者一定要懂视觉小说”。 整个文本风格就不是站在“视觉小说”这个体裁上写的,充满了各种多余的人称代词,且经常与头部立绘缺乏配合。 大部分的动作和情绪都靠(括号内的内容)展现,评价是:玩语C玩的。 拗口杂糅的长难句比比皆是,这并不会显得你的写作很高级。 ——————(以下是剧透)—————— ③角色与剧情极其幼稚。 不插队就会BE的废物女主,即使你萌混过关也不能掩盖你理直气壮地插队这个行为有多么恶劣,是不是觉得自己很帅啊? 整个主角团都是表演型人格,像那种中二病幻想中的自己,一切不合理的好事都往主角团身上聚集,都合痕迹极重。 女主因为说小话被罚站军姿,体育生闺蜜嚷嚷着要跟教官玩掰手腕来拯救女主,美美体验一下先被教官小看、再打败对方的神必英雄主义。 军训拉歌环节,谁家军训拉歌还能选流行歌唱啊?还美美提供所有歌曲的伴奏啊?于是超不经意地让女主被教官 “盲选” 点名上台,看起来没什么实力,却一曲高歌拯救了整个学院(我寻思这唱得也不好听啊),被台下所有人夸奖,美美享受表演,美美享受英雄主义。 这作者真的军训过吗?你是不知道教官都是正经军人吗? 军训结束后还让教官在黑板上写了一段长篇大论的煽情文字,再次强调体育生和女主的光辉事迹,引发了女主再一次的美美回味。 体育生闺蜜拉全宿舍人去帮她买漫画抽作者签绘,但全程都没提到“由我来出漫画钱”,疑似是大伙自己帮她垫的钱。 然后又又又一次让女主担任救世英雄的角色,让女主抽到最后一份签绘,震惊了台下所有人。 茶姐说话简直是望之不似人言,就这还吸引了一群粉丝把她当成大小姐伺候,享受众星捧月的感觉。 面条姐拉女主去逛毛绒店那段,别的我不知道,但作为毛绒领域大神我只能说:作者应该一点都不懂毛绒。 面条姐在面条店发现面不好吃,居然能跟服务员要了几乎全套配料(十几样一大盘)自己调味吃,真是报斯特菜菜名啊,感觉作者好像也不怎么了解餐饮行业,咱至少出门找个店主随口问问呢。 点评软件上那段古风小生般的差评更是望之不似人言,结果还被体育生点评为:写得像红头文件一样。。。 红。。红头文件。。。 彻底释怀了。 最后:“基于Chromium编译的游戏无法使用游戏采集。” 希望作者能多沉淀沉淀,好好学习一下正经写作,接触接触社会。 不要嘴上说着烟火气,实则根本没有烟火气。
目前这两章玩下来感觉剧情挺白开水的,人物塑造的还可以,日常剧情也还说得过去,前两章总的来说还行,但没什么特别想让人继续玩下去的地方。看看后续了
角色塑造很萌。但是美术方面首先精细度就不够,线条断断续续立绘还有白边真的有点影响观感。其次角色立绘无差分,通篇白开水剧情叙事也没有cg,看着这样乏味的文案直接失去任何兴趣了。而且其中安插的三选一又是何意,没有好感系统暂时也看不出来有任何支线导向,参与感太低了但是阅读情景感也不够。封面真的很可爱啊很吸引人结果怎么里面美术这么糙!还有那个诡异的过场白屏太长了吧我还以为我电脑卡了!免费获取了只能说不想打推荐但是也没有说必须差评的地步。
期待第二章及后续剧情
第一章(第一天)大概十来分钟,每个角色都设计的很有特色。 主角胜胜很可爱,性格很讨喜,表情也比较丰富。 剧情方面最后埋了个奇怪的设定,等后续再看看。 总体感觉还是挺不错的,期待下一章。
还是很值得玩的一款游戏 虽然知道这款作品还属于半成品的状态,但是完成度还是有点粗糙了,赶工痕迹很明显,不过好在剧情弥补了这一点 这种纯欢乐向的视觉小说还是蛮引人入胜的,希望保持这个风格,希望以后别变成galgame增加感情线,那样就跑偏了 问题还是很多。分支选项多但是存档位太少,现在只更新了两章剧情都快用完了,需要多增加存档栏,包括云存档。没有配音也很难受,希望尽早安排上。画面太粗糙,部分剧情没有差分和服饰的变化。AI痕迹也很明显,不过这点作品详情写了的咱就不说了。美工大大那边也得加把劲,不过画风还是很不错的,可以保留,和游戏整体也很搭 最后,剧情更新太慢,一个多小时就看完了,根本不够看啊,这个长度对上价位有些名不副实,赶紧去更新啊
很好玩呀很好玩
宝宝你是一块定胜糕,幸运可爱又美好。
等更新,好游戏。剧情温暖,人设鲜明,美术不错。 美食描写挺棒的,每次看都会饿饿的(笑) 我爱阿川,阿川是世界上最好的厨子。胜胜是好孩子,求宠她。 游戏里的杭州挺真实的,制作组有用心!不管是地名还是剧情,应该都有真实取材。 给到夯!
玩下来像是喝苏打水,平淡的甜里夹杂着气泡的触感
