game producer at hogwarts

Compared with the ordinary first-generation Pandora and the second-generation Pandora under development, it not only expands the number of players, but also has a special function, the game manager.

As the game manager, Rick can force every player to log in and out. This function was thought of by Rick after referring to an anime called "Sword Art Online" in his previous life.

With it, Rick doesn't have to worry that when taking practical classes (playing games), the little wizards will quit the game because of timidity and fear.

Rick understood that he came to Hogwarts to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and to teach young wizards how to prevent themselves from being attacked by dark creatures or evil wizards.

He has never had the experience of being a teacher in his two lives, but with the memories of his past life and the summary of his experience working in the Department of Magical Law in the past few years, he believes that he can only grow by experiencing it himself.

But we can’t really throw these little wizards who can’t hold their wands into the Forbidden Forest to experience a near-death adventure, right? !So after agreeing to Dumbledore, Rick thought of using his game console Pandora to teach the little wizards.

"Hogwarts Escape" is actually not a complete immersive role-playing game, it can only be said to be a semi-finished game.Because Rick has only completed the first two levels of this game.

And the combat system inside, Rick directly borrowed from Torchlight.

A combat system with Hogwarts characteristics has not been developed at all.

This can't be blamed on Rick for being lazy. Before the start of school, he suddenly received an order from the Magic Congress, asking him to secretly go to Australia to complete an important task.

That's why the production of the "Hogwarts Escape" teaching game was delayed.

However, the current level of completion of the game levels is enough for Rick to evaluate the combat awareness, mental endurance, teamwork, etc. of the little wizards at Hogwarts, as well as their various ability levels.

In the first level of the cave, the game map is only four Quidditch pitches wide. The maze lines inside are fixed, and the mobs are all magical animals that will not endanger life.For example, the slug that Ron regards as his life-long enemy, the mandrake that likes to cry, the Cornish elf that likes to socialize, the ghoul with severe social fear, etc...

The only threats to them were the werewolves and Glickon (a basilisk with a human face) stationed at the entrance to the second level. Among magical animals, the threat level is the same as that of a werewolf. It is similar to Slytherin's pet basilisk. A far cry from strength.).

The second level is a swamp jungle. The map is four times larger than the cave, and the complexity increases linearly.

In addition to those magical creatures and some large beasts that do not threaten life, there are also the mountain monsters and three-headed dogs that Harry and the others saw in the first grade. Rick also put a Boggart in it as a joke, of course. It's not for younger students.

As for the third level and subsequent levels, Rick is designing it, but before the game is completed, he needs to go to the Forbidden Forest and the Secret Chamber to copy the body data of Hagrid's cute Acromantula and Basilisk. .

After all, this is a teaching game. All monsters in it must exist in reality, and their strength must be the same as in reality.

It is impossible for Rick to add some creatures that do not exist in the magical world to the game levels, as that would lose the meaning of teaching.

But it is unrealistic to always be dark creatures, so in later levels, Rick needs to add evil wizards from history.

Hogwarts Escape: The Secret of Grindelwald DLC?

"Hogwarts Escape: Voldemort and His Death Eaters" DLC?

......

Although the game is not finished yet, it is more than enough to test the mental qualities of the little wizards.

Rick's hands regularly touched several small squares on the surface of Pandora, and then a magic projection appeared in front of Rick. The pictures on the projection were all the second-year students of Hogwarts who were pulled into the game by him.

There is a light curtain at the top of the projection, which records the status, SAN value, and information of avoiding or killing dark creatures in the game of all students, so that Rick can observe each student.

Students who are injured and unable to move or die directly, as well as those whose SAN value drops to the critical point, will be forced to log out of the game by Rick.

.......

"I seem to have forgotten something, but if I don't answer the question, just treat it as a hidden assessment."

Rick suddenly realized that he had forgotten to tell them about the game operation meeting and the novice gift package.

Instead of trying to make up for his mistakes, he found a reason for himself that made Alice want to hit him.

"However, the little guys in Slytherin should be able to find the novice gift pack. Judging from their performance, they still understand how Pandora is played."

Rick thought in a low voice, and then his fingers began to move on the light screen, and he found a name named Blaise Shabini and tapped it lightly.In an instant, the picture projected in front of Rick's eyes was enlarged, showing one of the four Slytherin students who had run in front of Rick.

After seeing that he had successfully called out the game panel, Rick nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the students in the game have not dispersed from the birth point. After he called out his game board in front of all his classmates, it was impossible not to tell other partners.

Rick did not want to believe that Blaise Shabini, who was only in second grade, had enough will and strength to withstand the "special care" given to him by all the students present.

Boom boom boom!

Just as Rick was checking the status of each little wizard, there was a knock on the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Please come in!"

"Dear Headmaster Dumbledore, what are you doing?"

Seeing Dumbledore in a light-colored robe standing at the door, Rick couldn't help but be a little surprised. Is this old guy afraid that he would spoil his precious student?

Both parties are masters of Legilimency and have a complete set of Occlumency in their brains.That's why Rick can slander so brazenly.

"Hehe, Graves, I was just passing by."

Dumbledore walked into the classroom and looked at the unconscious students lying on the desks. His body paused for a second, but soon returned to normal. There was a strange look in his eyes under his white eyebrows.

If Rick hadn't let him experience the game world of Pandora with other professors before the start of school, he might have used a combination of Expelliarmus and Veritaserum on Rick by now, asking him if he was a Voldemort sect. Came undercover.

"Then, Principal Dumbledore, if you are interested, you can watch the students' performance in the game world with me."

Simply passing by?Rick wouldn't believe such nonsense.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has seemingly many courses for young wizards, but it never forces them to master this knowledge.

It is more about allowing them to explore freely, learn with interest, and grow happily.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Gilderoy Lockhart to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for a year.

In the original world, Principal Dumbledore didn't know that Lockhart was a liar, so why did he still look for him?

There is indeed a big reason why so few people are willing to take on the role of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

But Rick believed that Dumbledore just needed a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, not a teacher who could teach students seriously.

Otherwise, he would not be able to replace Gilderoy Lockhart as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Haha, I'm a little ashamed to say that I, a centenarian, am actually very interested in your Pandora game console and this "Hogwarts Escape". Since you don't mind, I'll stay and enjoy the children. their performance.”
