SAM的未来

A FUTURE WITH SAM 

 ————2019 　4.11　 by kiririn51

　　个人渣翻自Sukeban Games官网上的Sam介绍，仅供参考娱乐（笑）。

　　关于Sam的介绍写起来不太容易，其实在游戏发售前，每一位我们想要谈论的角色都会有这种棘手的感觉（我们真的想给各位一个惊喜）。不过嘛，我还是会简单聊一聊Sam这个角色创造历程中的小小趣事，以及玩家们能从游戏中得到些什么。

　　在瓦尔哈拉，咱们的Jill是一个在与外界犯罪猖獗和内乱不断的恶劣环境隔绝的酒吧里工作的“冷面酒保”，一个试图渡过难关的女孩。关于她的故事其实略有争议，有些玩家更愿意倾听酒吧顾客们的故事而非关注Jill的困境。但同样有不少玩家认为她是前所未有的最能引起自己共鸣的游戏角色——我们对这些不同分歧的回应感到非常高兴，这都表面了我们是在做正确的叙事选择。

　　当尼尔瓦纳（Nirvana 、涅槃）的概念第一次闪过脑海时，一位身为母亲的酒保形象同时应运而生。这类似于创作一个与Jill完全不同的主角——于是Sam便由此诞生了。

　　Jill的主体色调是深紫色，Sam的配色则是亮粉色。Jill是一个独居公寓（Fore：喵喵喵？）的２７岁单身老妹，而Sam是一位和老公（或者是家人？）关系紧张的３２岁妈妈。更别提坐落于圣艾丽西亚（Saint Alicia）的酒吧尼尔瓦纳（N1RV Ann-A），和Glitch City比起来，前者简直就是天堂一般的存在。

　　然而，和“冷酷”的Jill最大的不同则是……Ｓａｍ总是笑得很开心！

　　许多人还指出，Sam的口音非常可爱，她的台词工作依然在推进中，更别说把Sam的对话方式和Jill作出区分也是非常重要的。但Sam并非和Jill截然相反，而是我们想到的好主意都和后者大不相同，所以就像大家说的那样，我们就这样顺水推舟地放手去做了。我们也拒绝再做一款瓦尔哈拉，它毕竟诞生于一段非常特殊的时期诞生的，其独特魔力无法复制。我们越早迈出过去的光荣越好，因为我们也不想玷污你对瓦尔哈拉的回忆。

　　还有一个有趣的事实值得一提，一些人已经有些讨厌Sam了，因为我去年太饥渴了，顺手给她了个巨乳人设——这是可以理解的说，但希望诸位能足够了解咱，相信我们在这种事情上的判断。我们会像往常一样，让游戏在时机成熟时自己告诉玩家一切。

　　 那么，你期望从Sam那得到什么呢？我们真的不希望去破坏你对这款游戏的任何想象，但你或许可以期待一位更为开朗、身为人母的酒保为你上酒服务，Sam还有着不堪回首的往事以及一段早已意兴阑珊的关系。可能上述介绍对一般Sukeban Games 粉丝来说不太好懂，但我认为她的故事超越了那些肤浅的表面，我们相信你一定会爱上她的，也会在游玩过程中联想到自己或他人。毕竟，人情世故总是充斥在我们的生活之中。

　　以下是关于Sam的一些非剧透性事实————

她叫Sam！

她很可爱！

她有一头粉色短发！

超可爱！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

她很喜欢啤酒，并且在只损害自己的情况下努力想做一个好妈妈。

　　顺便一提，我们之后会有一些很酷的消息要分享，但现在让我回到咱们目前正在制作一个公开demo ——没错，就像我们在 2015 年制作的以 Anna 为主角的demo。我们会利用好所有从游戏展中收获的反馈来改进游戏，因此我们对demo还是感到很兴奋的。

　　虽然目前还没有明确的发售时间，但我们正在尽最大努力去实现这一目标。

　现在，还请您把 Nirvana加入愿望单，它真的有助于提高其 Steam 上的知名度！

A FUTURE WITH SAM

Posted on April 11, 2019 by kiririn51

　　Writing about Sam is a bit tricky, as it is with every character we want to talk about during pre-release days (we really get a kick out of surprising you). I will however go into some brief, possibly interesting bits that went into her creation and what you can expect from her once your grubby mitts are all over the game.

　　So with Valhalla, Jill (main character) was this girl with the resting bitch face trying to get by in a harsh environment, what with the rampant crime and civil unrest going on outside of the bar limits. Her storyline was a bit divisive, with some people wanting to listen to the bar patrons rather than hear to Jill’s plight, while many others felt she was the most relatable video game character ever witnessed – and we are very happy with these reactions as making divisive aspects is a sign that we are doing something right.

　　When the idea for Nirvana first surfaced, the idea of a bartender who was a mother was kind of an instant thought, something along the lines of writing someone who was the polar opposite to the previous main character, and that’s how Sam was born.

　　Jill uses mostly dark colours, Sam has bright pink hair. Jill is a single 27 year old woman living alone in a tiny apartment, Sam is a 32 year-old mother in a (rocky) relationship, not to mention that Saint Alicia, the place where Nirvana takes place, is pretty much heaven compared to Glitch City, and so on.

　　The biggest difference however… is that Sam smiles a lot!

　　Many people have also pointed out that she has a cute accent going on. That one’s a work in progress but her way of talking is also very important in this quest to differentiate her from Jill. And it’s not like her whole deal is being the opposite to Jill, but rather that all the good ideas that occurred to us happened to be very different from her, so took the ball and ran with it as they say. We also refuse to make Valhalla again, as it was made in a very specific moment in time and its magic is impossible to replicate, and the sooner we stop chasing that lighting the better as we wouldn’t want to taint the memories you have of it.

　　One fun fact is that some folks already hate Sam because I was too horny last year and gave her a big bosom, which is understandable but you should know enough about us to trust our judgement in this kinda thing. We’ll just let the game speak for itself when the time comes, as we always do.

　　So what can you expect from Sam? We really don’t wanna spoil anything, but you should look forward to a more cheerful person crafting the cocktails this time around, someone who is still coming to terms with motherhood, a troubled past and a relationship she’s not really feeling anymore. Probably less relatable to the average Sukeban Games fan, but I think her story goes beyond these superficial aspects and we have no doubt you’ll end up loving her, and being reminded of yourself or somebody else while playing. Relationships are a universal thing after all.

　　Here are some non-spoilerific facts about her:

She’s Sam!
She’s cute!
She has pink hair!
CUTE!!!
She loves a good beer and tries too hard to be a good mom, to her own detriment.

　　By the way, we have some cool news to share later, but let me say right now that we are currently working on a public demo – that’s right, just like the one we made featuring Anna way back in 2015. Using all the feedback we got from the trade show demos we managed to improve the game a lot, so we are pretty excited about it.

　　We don’t have a solid timeline for this, but we are doing our best to make it a thing.

　　For now, please wish list Nirvana if you haven’t already, it really helps with visibility on Steam!
