From the past to the future, Doraemon has been with her

It’s a coincidence that during the period when "Doraemon Ranch Story, Nature Kingdom and the Family of Harmony" was released, I was planning to relive Doraemon's comics on kindle. I bought short and long e-books in Central Asia long ago while I was on sale. Like Conan and Dragon Ball, although I bought physical comics at home when I was a child, I remember correctly Doraemon should have been published by Jilin Art Publishing House . These are the favorite reading materials at that time. Basically, I have to read them every once in a while, and I don’t know how many times I read them in total. The kindle version of buying and buying is a continuation of childhood feelings to a certain extent, and I have never seen it since I bought it.

, and I happened to be in a serious book shortage recently. In addition, the kindle store in Central Asia has also entered the countdown (?), so I thought about downloading it and reading it. While revisiting the good times in the past, it is worthy of the small money I spent. It is really touching to see those familiar and unfamiliar scenes after many years. At the beginning, Doraemon was not called "Doraemon", "Dorcat" or "Tinker Bell" would be a more commonly used name. Until one day, the official Chinese translation was officially designated, and after a long period of struggle, it was finally corrected. But no matter which translation or name it is, the fat blue man who can always take out wonderful props from his pocket has long become the iconic image of Japan, enjoying extremely high popularity around the world, and has recently helped the Tokyo Olympics.

is the expression form of works on . Doraemon has certainly surpassed the original comics, TV dramas and theatrical versions, and TV dramas have been broadcast since 1979 to the present. During this period, many domestic TV stations have introduced some of them. We are very familiar with them, both central and station supporting roles, and theatrical version maintains the rhythm of a radar that is almost the same every year. In addition to the traditional 2D style, there is also a 3D theatrical version of "Doraemon: Accompanying Me" series. Not to mention the live version, stage play, etc. Although it is a bit strange from our perspective, the audience is still quite considerable.

Of course, we have the identity of a player after all, so we must be more concerned about the form of the game. Over the years, Doraemon has also launched many derivative games, from the FC era to GB to the later NDS and the current NS, and overall it will be more inclined to the platform. The latest work was "Doraemon Nobita's New Dinosaur" developed by Furyu in 2020 and exclusive to NS. Well, it can only be said to be combined with the same name theatrical version, which has expanded the diversity of choices for everyone.

Of course, BNEI is also an important developer and publisher of Doraemon games. They teamed up with Marvelous to launch "Doraemon Ranch Story" in 2019. Based on the mature gameplay of "Raemon Story" and the combination of the main IP level, I think it is definitely a great move. Although there are some minor numerical problems, they are definitely among the top among many Doraemon games in terms of game quality. At least I personally have a good time playing, so I am quite looking forward to the continued cooperation and the work being serialized. Now the second generation is launched after 3 years, which meets my expectations. It has indeed made some progress after the experience and is more attractive.

screen performance is excellent, creating a strong watercolor texture

I think the production team must have carefully considered what kind of screen expression form should be used when conducting the first generation project - although there are many ready-made solutions, such as the 2D bi-head performance that "Story of the Ranch" has been continuing from the past to the present, and the normal proportions used in "Runner Factory 5", as long as you think about combining these with "Doraemon", you will feel something is wrong.Therefore, it is not surprising that the production team finally chose a different approach. They adopted a watercolor painting method that focuses more on creating the overall picture beauty. I think it is definitely an excellent choice to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. It is not surprising that they have received praise from the players and the media side. So there is naturally no reason for the second generation to change. I think if there is another sequel in the future, it will probably continue to be used.

Let’s look at it specifically. It is difficult to talk about scene modeling or maps first. If you have to evaluate it, it will be maintained at the average level of Japanese games. However, as we all know that watercolor itself has a little fuzzy special effect, which is the so-called "hazy beauty", so it doesn’t matter whether it is refined or not. The production team perfectly turned the shortcomings of other games into the feature of this game. Although the characters are modeled in normal proportions, they also don’t care about accuracy. After all, the proportion in the picture is relatively small, not to mention that the outlines of Doraemon and others in the original comics are also minimalist painting methods.

Yes, it is the strokes of the master who returns to nature. Just a few strokes can make the vivid image vivid on the paper. Will you care about the edges of Nobita's sleeves not being clear? The same is true in the game. It is not appropriate to describe this work as a personalized coloring version of the original comic. It may take a little time to adapt, but as long as it is colored normally, there is no possibility of dragging you down. On this basis, the characters will be well integrated with the environment, and the overall cute route makes everyone less concerned about the details of the picture. When a plot conversation occurs, the character avatar will appear in the four corners of the screen. Anyone who speaks will pop up a text box to the inside, highlighting the comic-style design sense. Needless to say, the style of these avatars is completely the original feeling. They show the sarcastic appearance of Fat Tiger and Xiaofu , and the cute temperament of Shizuka , and the expression is also very rich. A few people except Shizuka often show their beauty skills, which is also true to the original work. Of course, the original NPCs in this work also have their own avatars, and the style is very suitable. Of course, it is not just the avatars of humans, but also the avatars of various alien races such as long-eared aliens and alien penguins. It is completely fine to regard this work as a big novel after having racial diversity. This is also a regular setting for a big novel.

In some scenes, the production team will also change the perspective and become a fixed back view or side view. In this way, to make some small changes and provide a certain level of freshness, I think it's a great move. No matter what, no matter where you go, no matter where you linger next to a small bridge, under a waterfall, or anywhere else, it seems to be on a scroll. Even if you run pictures frequently, you won’t make people feel irritated at all. It’s no exaggeration to say that you can even take screenshots from time to time to time to preserve a beautiful moment.

throws away all the pressure, go to the alien for a holiday

I think everyone knows that with Nobita's lazy spirit, you say that he suddenly strives to work hard in the ranch, which is definitely unrealistic and even a bit OOC. So in order to make everything reasonable, the production team arranged a small plot, which was very interesting. It was another ordinary day during the summer vacation. Nobita was scolded by his mother for sleeping in, not getting up in time to do homework, and not helping his family. So Nobita was very brave enough to snatch the door, and Fat Tiger, Xiaofu, and Shizuka also ran away from home for similar reasons. Just as everyone gathered in the open space and didn't know what to do, Nobita's spirit flashed, so with the strong support of Doraemon Technology, everyone took a cosmic lifeboat to the alien planet.

As soon as they arrived at their destination, everyone found a young boy fainting in the woods. Anyone who understands this means that the wild important NPC appeared.So Doraemon took out the props and simply cured the little boy named Wright, and everyone also got a place to rest - a pasture that was once lively but now abandoned. Well, this is the classic start of the "Story of the Ranch" and "Runish Factory" series. Whether it is this world or another world, there is always a pasture waiting for the protagonist, allowing the protagonist to live a life of having enough food, clothing, house and girl with his own hands (mistake). Now that this routine is combined with the development of Doraemon's story, there is no feeling of being out of the way.

What's more, taking over the ranch is not necessarily a lucky thing, especially for people like Nobita who have nothing to do with the word "hard work". Forcing him to work 6 pm in the morning and 9 pm a week is 7 days a week, which is indeed very consistent with his character of bad luck all year round. Of course, since you don’t want to learn to do homework when you are aliens, Nobita is quite fresh. After all, the ranch life is just a part of talking to all kinds of people, fishing and catching insects, and it’s like spending summer vacation in Japan, and life is quite comfortable. The people in the town are quite friendly, and their friends are enjoying it. Shizuka goes to the hospital to help, Xiaofu works as a waiter in the restaurant, and Fat Tiger takes action in the carpenter's shop, only Doraemon is wandering around (mistake).

However, after two or three days of experience, just as everyone was about to go back, they found that the universe lifeboat was missing. It turned out that they were moved to the royal city by the soldiers. Yes, that's right, this is actually a monarchy country. Everyone was received by the Queen. Unexpectedly, the Queen wanted to arrest the blue cat Doraemon as soon as she came up. Fortunately, Wright came on the stage to stabilize the situation and convinced his mother. Yes, Wright was actually a prince, and he was also running away from home before. Although they were not arrested, the universe lifeboat and other props of Doraemon were confiscated, and everyone had to return to the farm to make plans to enjoy this forced long vacation. However, it seems that the Queen has some hidden information that cannot be expressed for the time being? !

is different from other works "Story of the Ranch" and "Runes Factory". Players can clearly feel the important position of the plot in the entire process. After all, characters such as Doraemon cannot be just a skin-like existence. They still have to show the character character that fits the original work through the plot, so that they can maximize the linkage effect and create a better sense of substitution.

gameplay follows tradition, is fulfilling and has clear goals. We have mentioned before that in terms of gameplay, whether it is the current "Doraemon Ranch Story, Nature Kingdom and the Hokkien Family" or the previous work, they are all centered on the classic farming flow of "Rain Story". However, the previous work does not seem to have done much good in numerical settings. Whether it is physical strength or money, there are some unreasonable aspects. It is necessary to rely on specific so-called magic gameplay to make Nobita live a slightly nourishing life.

And in the second generation, they naturally collected feedback from players and almost completely corrected the shortcomings, so in terms of experience, it will definitely be a step further. Of course, due to IP restrictions, there is still no such thing as love and marriage in Ranch Story, and there will definitely be no such thing in the future. After all, it is too strange to choose to be with an original character without conquering Shizuka, Kofu, Fat Tiger, and Doraemon. I think it's enough to focus on two key points about gameplay.

(1) Farming

Farming I think everyone is familiar with this kind of thing. We always go in five steps - first clean up the weeds, stones and trees on the land. Of course, the former can be used as a sickle or not. The latter two need to use a hammer and an axe respectively, then use a hoe to level the land, and then sprinkle crop seeds. Remember to use a kettle to water it every day, and finally wait for it to mature and harvest. This process is very simple to say, and it is also simple to actually operate. Even if you have no experience, the production team also provides very detailed teaching. It will definitely be fine to follow it.

It seems that the second generation still did not introduce the mechanized farming method of "Story of the Ranch" and "Runes Factory" now - that is, as long as the characters are aimed at a grid, you will automatically move along a line and repeat the same operation by connecting the corresponding keys. We still have to aim for the work, and when using the keyboard, you should adapt to the aiming diagonally.

(2) Catching insects

is like mining, fishing, and collecting. These are the routine operations of "The Story of the Ranch" and "Romantic Factory". Mining is no different from farming. However, as the number of layers increases, the tools required must also be improved. When fishing, you have to wait until the hook sinks into the water and grab the opportunity to lift the rod. Collecting is even simpler. When you see plants that look slightly prominent on the roadside, just walk over and press the button.

Let’s focus on catching insects. This is no longer a common activity in modern works such as "The Story of the Ranch" and "The Rune Factory". Of course, catching insects is not complicated. When we run the map, we will see butterflies flying on the map and beetle running on the ground. At this time, slow down and approach it, then aim and wave insect catching network and it’s all. The reason why we emphasize catching insects is because the process is simple and the effect is good - it is still very rewarding to ship these, which can help you quickly accumulate original accumulation in the early stage. I recommend that you upgrade your backpack first. Those few grids are really not enough at the beginning.

After various activities, Nobita's day is still quite fulfilling and will never be wandering around with nothing. Although the physical strength is still a little fast, it can be recovered whether it is eating or Nobita's classic nap. Even if you lose your goal temporarily and feel confused what to do, you can check the to-do list and follow the instructions to trigger some small plots, and the purpose is quite clear.

Enjoy leisure and look forward to more possibilities

In the previous work "Doraemon Ranch Story", although there were some problems, I thought that the IP linkage between Ranch Story and Doraemon was a very good start. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a "combination made by heaven", the two are indeed very matched. After all, the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere created by the two are similar.

. In the second generation, the production team continued to move forward along the right path and spent a lot of effort on experience optimization, which made the daily rhythm much better and there was room for free to allocate. I think overall, it was still possible to feel the so-called "carefree" fun - it was natural to have no problem if you wanted to relax. You could get it done in a few minutes. Then fishing, catching insects, and seeing the scenery were all very good. If you want to be busy, you could also have a just-in-one schedule to complete. It was also quite fulfilling to run one by one.

Of course, what makes people most satisfying is seeing Doraemon and others in the game. Various small plots make people feel full of nostalgia. The background setting of going to an alien planet for vacation and inexplicably involved in alien disputes reminds people of various plots in the long story. Although we are very clear about the endings being calm, at least it is still very substitutable in the process. I think with the update of the subsequent season ticket DLC, adding more clothing, furniture and small events, especially the interesting interactions brought by small events are really exciting.

Of course, in the processing of Doraemon's magical props, the production team still adhered to a relatively cautious style and used a step-by-step approach to let go of it step by step so as not to lose balance at the beginning. In addition, some props have also made some restrictions on the functions, and they pay more attention to rationality rather than being too buggy like the original work. However, this also makes ranch life much more convenient than the conventional "Rain Story" works. Of course, I don’t know if there will be abnormal versions of props in the subsequent works, so we can live a good life.

Doraemon has accompanied me through my childhood, and now this fate can continue, which is really gratifying.So I am very much looking forward to this long-standing IP, which can take the "Doraemon Ranch Story" series as an opportunity to continue to expand its influence in the gaming field. I think it would be a good choice to work with well-known games with similar styles. Well, for example, don’t you consider a collaboration with "Runes Factory" next door? Simply put, "Rain Factory" is added to the battle based on "The Story of the Ranch", which will be more fantasy and adventure, which is also very consistent with the long theme.

and I think if I can fight, then some of Doraemon's classic props will work even more. For example, I think the Toy Corps is super suitable, which is equivalent to bringing a group of babies who can automatically attack. It will be very pleasant to think about it. Of course, it is also very suitable to take the self-development route. Sometimes you don’t have to rely on the theater version. It’s also good to have original plots. In short, I’m really looking forward to it.

Comprehensive rating: 8/10
