[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. At the same time, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0028] Before explaining the embodiments of the present application in detail, some terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are first explained.

[0029] Among them, the graphical user interface is obtained by executing a software application on a processor of a mobile terminal or other terminal and rendering it on a display, which can be a display screen interface of a terminal device. The graphical user interface may include a UI interface and a game screen for players to interact with. The UI interface may include game controls (such as skill controls, mobile controls, function controls, etc.), indicator signs (such as direction indicator signs, role indicator signs, etc.), information display areas (such as the number of kills, game time, etc.), or game setting controls (such as system settings, stores, gold coins, etc.). In an optional embodiment, the game screen is a display screen corresponding to the virtual scene displayed by the terminal device. The game screen presents the entire virtual scene, or only presents a part of the virtual scene when the virtual scene is relatively large. The virtual scene includes multiple static virtual objects, specifically including ground, mountain, stone, vegetation, buildings, etc., and also includes multiple dynamic virtual objects, such as game characters, NPC characters, AI characters and other virtual objects that execute game logic in the virtual scene.

[0030] Among them, the virtual scene is a virtual scene displayed (or provided) when the application is running on a terminal or server. Optionally, the virtual scene can be a simulation environment of the real world, a semi-simulated and semi-fictitious virtual environment, or a purely fictitious virtual environment. The virtual scene can be any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene, a 2.5-dimensional virtual scene, or a three-dimensional virtual scene. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the dimension of the virtual scene. For example, the virtual scene may include the sky, land, ocean, etc., and the land may include environmental elements such as deserts and cities, and the user can control the game character to move in the virtual scene.

[0031] In an optional implementation, the game screen is a display screen corresponding to a virtual scene displayed by a terminal device, and the game screen may include virtual objects such as game characters, NPC characters, AI characters, etc. that execute game logic in the virtual scene.

[0032] Among them, the game character refers to a dynamic object that can be controlled in a virtual scene. Optionally, the game character can be a virtual person, a virtual animal, a cartoon character, etc. The game character can be a virtual image in the virtual scene that is used to represent the user. The virtual scene may include at least one game character, each of which has its own shape and volume in the virtual scene and occupies a part of the space in the virtual scene. In one possible implementation, the user can control the game character to move in the virtual scene, for example, control the game character to run, jump, crawl, etc., and can also control the game character to fight with other game characters using skills, virtual props, etc. provided by the application.

[0033] In this embodiment, the game character may be a virtual character controlled by a user through operations on a client. In some embodiments, the game character may be a virtual person competing in a virtual scene. In some embodiments, the number of game characters participating in the interaction in the virtual scene may be preset or dynamically determined according to the number of clients participating in the interaction.

[0034] Embodiments of the present application provide a game plot display method, device, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium.

[0035] Specifically, this embodiment will be described from the perspective of a game plot display device, which can be integrated into an electronic device, that is, the game plot display method of the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an electronic device, and optionally, the electronic device can include: a terminal device. The terminal device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart Bluetooth device, a laptop computer, a game console, or a personal computer (PC) and other devices.

[0036] The game plot display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a game plot display system. The game plot display system may include a player terminal device and a server, and the terminal may be a device including both receiving and transmitting hardware, that is, a device having receiving and transmitting hardware capable of performing two-way communication on a two-way communication link. The player terminal device and the server may perform two-way communication via a network.

[0037] Optionally, the server may be an independent server, or a server network or server cluster composed of servers, including but not limited to a computer, a network host, a single network server, a plurality of network server sets or a cloud server composed of multiple servers. The cloud server is composed of a large number of computers or network servers based on cloud computing.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the game plot display method can be run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game interaction method is run on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0039] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications can be run under the cloud interaction system, such as cloud games. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the operation mode of cloud games, the operating body of the game program and the main body of the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and operation of the interactive methods in the game are completed on the cloud game server. The role of the client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a TV, a computer, a handheld computer, etc.; but the cloud game server in the cloud is used for information processing. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server. The cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, and returns it to the client device through the network. Finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, taking a game as an example, a local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present a game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, the game program is downloaded and installed by an electronic device and run conventionally. The local terminal device may provide the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered and displayed on a display screen of the terminal, or provided to the player through a holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes a game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate a graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0041] The following is a detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, the execution subject is a terminal device as an example. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments. Although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different from that shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0042] The game plot display method of this embodiment displays the game plot screen and the plot progress bar on a graphical user interface, wherein the plot progress bar includes multiple plot node identifiers, and multiple plot options are configured at the plot nodes corresponding to the plot node identifiers. Different plot options are used to control the controlled game character to enter different game plots after being triggered; in response to the selection operation of the first plot node identifier among the plot node identifiers, the plot is backtracked based on the target game plot screen corresponding to the first plot node identifier, which can avoid the situation where the user needs to repeat the game process when selecting different plot directions of the game, and reduce the time the user needs to spend on selecting different plot directions of the game.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 Taking a terminal as an example, this embodiment provides a method for displaying a game plot. The specific process of the method for displaying a game plot may be as follows: Steps 101 to 102, wherein:

[0044] Step 101: Display a game plot screen and a plot progress bar on a graphical user interface. The plot progress bar includes a plurality of plot node identifiers. A plurality of plot options are configured at the plot nodes corresponding to the plot node identifiers. Different plot options are used to control a controlled game character to enter different game plots after being triggered.

[0045] The game plot screen may be a game screen displayed by a plot-based game, and the game screen may include a virtual scene and a controlled game character in the virtual scene, and the controlled game character is controlled by a player to whom the terminal belongs.

[0046] It should be noted that story-based games usually have more complex storylines, and they provide players with an immersive gaming experience through carefully designed plots, characters, and background settings. Players can explore the plot through controlled game characters, and the different choices made by players in the plot will also affect the direction of the plot.

[0047] It is understandable that, since there are multiple optional plot nodes in story-based games, that is, there are multiple plot options at the plot node, the player can control the controlled game character to enter different game plots by selecting different plot options at a plot node. Therefore, in order to facilitate the player to clearly understand the connection between different plot nodes and the relative plot development relationship between different plot nodes, in this embodiment, a plot progress bar is provided, that is, the plot progress on the plot branch where the player is currently located. The plot progress bar is used to indicate the plot progress of the game plot. If the game plot where the plot progress bar is located is the game plot of a single chapter, then the plot progress bar is used to present the overall progress of the corresponding chapter.

[0048] Specifically, the terminal may display the plot progress bar in a specific area of ​​the graphical user interface in a linear or circular manner, which may be specifically set according to requirements and is not limited here.

[0049] Then, the terminal displays the plot nodes on the plot progress bar in chronological order, so that there are a plurality of plot node identifiers with different time intervals on the plot progress bar, and each plot node identifier is used to indicate a plot node.

[0050] For example, Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The bottom area of ​​the game plot screen shown shows a plot progress bar. Figure 2The plot progress bar shown has three plot node identifiers, namely, an "A" node identifier, a "B" node identifier, and a "C" node identifier.

[0051] In some embodiments, the player needs to perform specific operations to prompt the terminal to respond to the specific operations, so as to display the game plot screen and the plot progress bar on the graphical user interface. For example, when the game is in progress, the player can click on a random area, a specific area or a specific control on the graphical user interface to display the game plot screen on the graphical user interface and the corresponding plot progress bar at the same time.

[0052] For example, Figure 3 As shown, players can Figure 3 Click the center area of ​​the game plot screen shown in the figure to Figure 3 Click the position indicated by the finger in the figure to display the plot progress bar on the game plot screen, and you will get Figure 2 The diagram shown.

[0053] In some embodiments, since the game plot may include many chapters, and the above-mentioned game plot screen only belongs to the content of one of the chapters, and the contents of different chapters are related in the plot, when the player is experiencing the plot of other chapters, he wants to view the content of the chapter to which the game plot screen belongs, so as to assist the player in choosing the direction of the plot of other chapters. In this regard, the terminal provides a cross-chapter plot backtracking function, so that the player can skip the current chapter, backtrack to view the contents of other chapters, and re-select the plot options for the plot of other chapters.

[0054] Specifically, the above-mentioned display of the game plot screen on the graphical user interface may include: the terminal may display the initial game plot screen on the graphical user interface, and the initial game plot screen is the screen displayed before the player views the game plot screen across chapters. The player may want to view the content of other chapters based on the content in the initial game plot screen.

[0055] Then, the terminal can respond to the player's chapter viewing operation on the above-mentioned initial game plot screen by displaying a chapter list of the game plot to which the above-mentioned initial game plot screen belongs on the above-mentioned graphical user interface, wherein the above-mentioned chapter list includes at least two game plot chapters, and there is a plot relationship between the above-mentioned at least two game plot chapters.

[0056] Among them, the above-mentioned chapter viewing operation can be a sliding operation, clicking operation, pressing operation or specific gesture operation on the initial game plot screen, etc., which can be set according to needs and is not limited here.

[0057] Finally, the terminal can respond to the selection operation of the target game plot chapter in the game plot chapter, indicating that the player currently wants to trace back the content of the target plot chapter. Therefore, the terminal can display the chapter details page of the above-mentioned target game plot chapter as the above-mentioned game plot screen on the above-mentioned graphical user interface.

[0058] Among them, the above-mentioned selection operation can be a sliding operation, clicking operation, pressing operation or specific gesture operation on the target game plot chapter, etc., which can be set according to needs and is not limited here.

[0059] Among them, the above-mentioned chapter details page may include the chapter plot description information, chapter cover, plot progress bar of the target game plot chapter, each plot node logo displayed on the plot progress bar, and / or the plot cover of the corresponding plot node displayed at each plot node logo, etc., which can be set according to needs and are not limited here.

[0060] In this embodiment, the terminal can skip chapters by directly operating the initial game plot screen, avoiding the situation where players need to spend more time searching and selecting in the menu, which interrupts the player's immersion and makes the backtracking operation seem mechanical and not intuitive enough.

[0061] For example, Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The screen shown is the initial game plot screen. Players Figure 4 The initial game plot screen shown in FIG. 1 is slid to the left, and then the player releases the screen, so that the terminal can respond to the player's slid operation to the left and display the following on the graphical user interface: Figure 5 The list of chapters shown starts from Figure 5 It can be seen that there are four game plot chapters in the game plot, namely "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", "Chapter 3" and "Chapter 4".

[0062] The player can then perform a specific gesture on "Chapter 1", such as spreading the thumb and index finger to the sides, to enter the chapter, showing Figure 6 The chapter details page of the target game plot chapter is shown. Figure 6 It can be seen that Figure 6 The left area of ​​​​the chapter includes the plot description information about "Chapter 1". Figure 6 The progress bar shown in the bottom area of ​​, displays the plot covers corresponding to the plot node identifiers, wherein the plot covers of the plot node identifiers in which the plot is in progress can be highlighted, or the plot covers corresponding to the plot node identifiers at the earliest moment of "Chapter 1" can be highlighted.

[0063] also, Figure 5 The corresponding page of the ending overview shows the plot endings after each plot node is selected.

[0064] In some embodiments, since the plot nodes corresponding to different plot node identifiers have an important impact on the direction of the overall game plot and the ending of the game plot, in order to better assist players in selecting plot node identifiers, an identifier detail information can be set for each plot node identifier, so that when the player triggers the identifier detail information, the identifier detail information can be displayed.

[0065] Specifically, the terminal can respond to the player's plot viewing operation on the plot node identifier by displaying the plot detail information for the viewed plot node identifier at the viewed plot node identifier on the plot progress bar. The plot detail information includes, but is not limited to, the plot cover of the viewed plot node identifier, the plot description information corresponding to the viewed plot node identifier, etc. The plot description information includes, but is not limited to, the game task type corresponding to the plot node and / or the game task name corresponding to the plot node, etc., which can be set according to specific needs and is not limited here.

[0066] It should be noted that in story-based games, different game plot nodes correspond to different task types, for example, main tasks that players must complete, side tasks that players can choose whether to complete based on their interests or time, and hidden tasks triggered by players through exploration, etc. In order to facilitate players to more intuitively select story node identifiers, the terminal introduces the task type in the story details information so that players can clearly understand the game features at the corresponding story nodes, helping players to quickly identify them.

[0067] For example, Figure 7 As shown, in Figure 7 The first plot node mark on the progress bar shown in is the plot node mark being viewed, and plot details information of the plot node mark being viewed is displayed at the plot node mark being viewed. Figure 7 The plot details information displayed includes the plot cover and the plot description information "Side Quest: XXXXX".

[0068] Optionally, in order to enable players to more intuitively identify the task type corresponding to the plot node identifier, the terminal can assign a specific information display style to the information indicating the task type in the plot details information. Different task types have different corresponding information display styles, such as the information display style of the main task is yellow, the information display style of the branch task is blue, the information display style of the hidden task is purple, etc. The specific settings can be made according to needs and are not limited here.

[0069] Step 102: In response to a selection operation on a first plot node identifier among the plot node identifiers, plot backtracking is performed based on a target game plot screen corresponding to the first plot node identifier.

[0070] In this embodiment, the player can select the plot node icon on the progress bar to backtrack the plot related to a certain plot node, so that the player can quickly backtrack to the key plot nodes in the current game plot without having to repeatedly participate in the game process that the player has experienced, thereby greatly saving the player's time, allowing the player to more efficiently and easily participate in experiencing different plot directions and try different endings, greatly increasing the playability and fun of the game and improving the user experience.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment, players can rewind the plot at any time point according to their needs, so that players can flexibly control the progress of the game, better control the rhythm of the game, and customize the gaming experience.

[0072] Among them, the above-mentioned plot retracing can be a plot playback for the key plot in the game plot so that the player can quickly understand the key plot direction of the game plot, or it can be a page corresponding to a plot node mark to re-select the plot options to replay the ending.

[0073] It should be noted that flashback refers to the process of reviewing the background of the story, key events or the past of the characters in narrative works (such as movies, TV series, novels, games, etc.) to the user through interpolation or flashback, or going back to a certain time point so that the user can re-select the plot options, which can help the audience better understand the development of the current plot, reveal the character's motivations, or solve certain suspense and mysteries.

[0074] Specifically, the above-mentioned selection operation method can be: the player performs a sliding operation on the progress bar, and the plot node identifier corresponding to the position where the sliding operation ends is the first plot node identifier; or, the player can click or press a certain plot node identifier, and the plot node identifier operated is the first plot node identifier, etc. The specific setting can be based on needs and is not limited here.

[0075] Optionally, in order to prevent players from operating incorrectly, the terminal may pop up a confirmation window for the first plot node identifier in response to a selection operation on the first plot node identifier among the plot node identifiers, and in response to the player's confirmation operation on the first plot node identifier in the confirmation window, perform plot backtracking based on the target game plot screen corresponding to the above-mentioned first plot node identifier.

[0076] In some embodiments, the plot backtracking based on the target game plot screen corresponding to the first plot node identifier includes: the terminal can switch the target game plot screen from the game plot screen on the graphical user interface, and display multiple plot options configured at the corresponding plot node on the target game plot screen; or, the terminal can sequentially play the target game plot screen and the game plot screen of the key plot node, the key plot node being the plot node between the game plot identified by the first plot node and the game plot currently in which the controlled game character is located. The game plot currently in which the controlled game character is located may be the plot corresponding to the plot node in which the plot is in progress.

[0077] In some embodiments, since there are many ways to backtrack the plot, the terminal can set up a backtrack editing page so that the player can operate in the backtrack editing page, prompting the terminal to clarify the backtracking method the player wants, so that the terminal can backtrack the plot of the target game plot screen corresponding to the first plot node identifier based on the backtracking method the player wants.

[0078] Specifically, the above-mentioned response to the selection operation of the first plot node identifier in the plot node identifiers and the plot backtracking based on the target game plot screen corresponding to the above-mentioned first plot node identifier may include: the terminal may display a backtracking editing page for the above-mentioned first plot node in response to the selection operation of the first plot node identifier in the plot node identifiers, and then the terminal may obtain the backtracking method indicated by the above-mentioned backtracking editing operation in response to the backtracking editing operation on the above-mentioned backtracking editing page, so as to backtrack the plot based on the backtracking method indicated by the above-mentioned backtracking editing operation and the target game plot screen corresponding to the above-mentioned first plot node identifier.

[0079] Among them, the above-mentioned backtracking method can be a method of playing the plot for the key plot in the game plot, or it can be a method of jumping to the page corresponding to a plot node identifier to re-select the plot options. The specific setting can be based on needs and is not limited here.

[0080] Among them, the above-mentioned backtracking editing page may include an information input control, so that the player can input the backtracking method through the information input control; or, the above-mentioned backtracking editing page may include a method control corresponding to each backtracking method, so that the player can select the method control, and use the backtracking method corresponding to the selected method control as the backtracking method indicated by the above-mentioned backtracking editing operation, etc. The specific setting can be made according to the needs and is not limited here.

[0081] Specifically, the above-mentioned backtracking editing page includes a plot playback control, which is equivalent to the mode control corresponding to the above-mentioned backtracking mode. The backtracking mode corresponding to the plot playback control is a mode of playing the plot for the key plot in the game plot, that is, in response to the backtracking editing operation on the above-mentioned backtracking editing page, the plot backtracking is performed based on the backtracking mode indicated by the above-mentioned backtracking editing operation and the target game plot screen corresponding to the above-mentioned first plot node identifier, which may include:

[0082] The terminal can respond to the triggering operation of the above-mentioned plot playback control to play the above-mentioned target game plot screen and the game plot screen of the key plot node in sequence. The above-mentioned key plot node is the plot node between the game plot identified by the above-mentioned first plot node and the game plot in which the above-mentioned controlled game character is currently located.

[0083] In this embodiment, after responding to the triggering operation of the above-mentioned plot playback control, the terminal can trace back the game progress to the target game plot screen at the plot node corresponding to the first plot node identifier, and play the game plot screens of each plot node located after the plot node corresponding to the first plot node identifier in sequence until the game plot in which the controlled game character is when the above-mentioned plot playback control is triggered is played. The game plot in which the controlled game character is when the above-mentioned plot playback control is triggered is the game plot in which the controlled game character is currently located.

[0084] Specifically, the above-mentioned backtracking editing page includes a plot jump control, which is equivalent to the mode control corresponding to the above-mentioned backtracking mode. The backtracking mode corresponding to the plot jump control is a mode of jumping to a page corresponding to a plot node identifier to reselect a plot option, that is, in response to the backtracking editing operation on the above-mentioned backtracking editing page, the plot backtracking is performed based on the backtracking mode indicated by the above-mentioned backtracking editing operation and the target game plot screen corresponding to the above-mentioned first plot node identifier, which may include:

[0085] In response to the triggering operation of the plot jump control, the terminal can switch the game plot screen to display the target game plot screen on the graphical user interface, and display multiple plot options configured at the corresponding plot node on the target game plot screen.

[0086] For example, Figure 8 The backtracking editing page shown includes two controls, namely the plot playback control "Plot Play" and the plot jump control "Plot Jump". Players can select "Plot Play" to prompt the terminal to play the key plot in the game plot. Players can also select "Plot Jump" to prompt the terminal to jump to the page corresponding to a plot node identifier to re-select the plot options.

[0087] In some embodiments, since the plot backtracking is performed based on the target game plot screen corresponding to the first plot node identifier, the target game plot screen can be directly switched from the game plot screen to the target game plot screen on the graphical user interface, and multiple plot options configured at the corresponding plot node can be displayed on the target game plot screen.

[0088] In this embodiment, since the player is currently experiencing the game plot, there is no need to play the key plot in the game plot again for the player to have a better understanding of the plot. Therefore, it is also possible to directly jump to the target game plot screen so that the player can make a new choice.

[0089] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 The target game plot screen shown includes two plot options, namely "Give Chip (2 / 1)" and "Turn Around and Go", and the player can select one of the plot options to continue a certain plot. Among them, in the plot option of "Give Chip (2 / 1)", since the controlled game character controlled by the player holds 2 chips, one of the chips must be given to the corresponding game character to enter the game plot corresponding to the plot option of "Give Chip (2 / 1)".

[0090] In some embodiments, since some of the plot options displayed on the target game plot screen may have been selected by the player, in order to facilitate the player to clearly distinguish between the plot options he has selected and the plot options he has not selected, the terminal can display the plot options displayed on the target game plot screen in a first display style and a second display style respectively, the first display style is used to indicate that the plot option has been selected by the player, and the second display style is used to indicate that the plot option has not been selected by the player.

[0091] In some embodiments, since the opening of the game plot corresponding to some plot options displayed on the target game plot screen requires a certain amount of plot resources, for example, Fig. 9 In the "Give Chip (2 / 1)" plot option, if the controlled game character does not hold the chip, it means that the controlled game character does not hold the plot resource. Therefore, in order to facilitate players to clearly distinguish which game plots corresponding to which plot options can currently be opened by players, the terminal can display the plot options displayed on the target game plot screen in the third display style and the fourth display style respectively. The third display style is used to indicate that the game plot corresponding to the plot option can currently be opened by the player, and the second display style is used to indicate that the game plot corresponding to the plot option cannot currently be opened by the player.

[0092] In some embodiments, since some players have purchased virtual resources in the game plot corresponding to the plot option they have participated in at a plot node, or have obtained virtual resources by completing certain tasks, when the player selects a new plot option for this plot node, the virtual resources obtained in the game plot corresponding to the plot option they have participated in can be inherited, that is, the virtual resources obtained in the game plot corresponding to the plot option they have participated in can be applied to the game plot corresponding to the new plot option.

[0093] Specifically, after displaying multiple plot options configured at the corresponding plot node on the above-mentioned target game plot screen, it can also include: the terminal can control the above-mentioned controlled game character to continue holding the first virtual resource to enter the first game plot corresponding to the above-mentioned first plot option in response to the selection operation of the first plot option.

[0094] Among them, the above-mentioned first virtual resource is the resource obtained by the above-mentioned controlled game character in the game plot corresponding to other plot options, and the above-mentioned other plot options are options in the plot options except the above-mentioned first plot option, that is, the plot options that the player has participated in.

[0095] It is understandable that, in addition to holding the first virtual resource, the player may also hold resources that the player has not obtained in the game plot corresponding to other plot options, such as the virtual resources originally held by the player.

[0096] In some embodiments, some players have purchased virtual resources in the game plot corresponding to the plot option they have participated in at a plot node, or obtained virtual resources by completing certain tasks, and the virtual resources obtained by the players in the plot node corresponding to the plot option they have participated in cannot be applied to the game plot corresponding to other plot options. In extreme cases, some virtual resources will also affect the player's experience in the game plot corresponding to the selected plot option. Therefore, the terminal can provide a virtual resource update function.

[0097] Specifically, before controlling the above-mentioned controlled game character to continue holding the first virtual resource to enter the first game plot corresponding to the above-mentioned first plot option, it can also include: if the above-mentioned first virtual resource does not meet the resource usage conditions corresponding to the above-mentioned first game plot, then displaying the resource update control, and then, the terminal can update the above-mentioned first virtual resource in response to the update trigger operation of the above-mentioned resource update control.

[0098] Among them, the above-mentioned resource usage conditions can be used to determine whether the first virtual resource can be applied to the first game plot; or, the above-mentioned resource usage conditions can be used to determine whether the impact of the application of the first virtual resource to the controlled game character is a negative impact in the first game plot (for example, the application of the first virtual resource will reduce the character attributes of the game character), etc. The specific settings can be made according to needs and are not limited here.

[0099] Among them, the above-mentioned resource update control can be an information input control, and the player updates the first virtual resource by inputting the resources that the player does not inherit or wants to replace in the information input control; or, if there are multiple types of the above-mentioned first virtual resources, the above-mentioned resource update control may include a resource inheritance control corresponding to each first virtual resource, so that the player can select the resource inheritance control and control the controlled game character to inherit the first virtual resource to which the selected resource inheritance control belongs.

[0100] In some embodiments, since there are some game plots in the form of PK battles, if the current character attributes of the controlled game character are low, if the plot option is temporarily switched to enter other game plots, the hand-controlled game character may face some dangers. Therefore, in order to avoid the controlled game character from encountering danger and the player's untimely response, the terminal can prompt the player in advance to remind the player that the controlled game character may encounter danger when switching the game plot.

[0101] Specifically, after displaying multiple plot options configured at the corresponding plot node on the above-mentioned target game plot screen, the terminal can also obtain the current character attributes of the above-mentioned controlled game character in response to the selection operation of the second plot option in the plot options, and judge the current character attributes and the second game plot corresponding to the second plot option, so as to clarify whether the controlled game character is currently in danger. If there is an enemy game character in the second game plot corresponding to the above-mentioned second plot option, and the character attributes of the above-mentioned enemy game character are greater than the preset threshold of the above-mentioned current character attributes, it means that the character attributes of the enemy game character are much greater than the current character attributes. In order to avoid the controlled game character from encountering danger and the player's untimely response, the terminal can provide information prompts on the above-mentioned graphical user interface to remind the player that the controlled game character may encounter danger when switching the game plot.

[0102] In addition, the above information prompt may be that the terminal can provide attribute recovery guidance to the player based on the current character attributes, so that the player can enter a specific virtual scene according to the attribute recovery guidance to recover the current character attributes.

[0103] In some embodiments, since the game plots corresponding to some plot options displayed on the target game plot screen require certain plot resources to open, and the virtual resources held by the controlled game character may not meet the plot resources, the terminal can provide resource guidance to the player to guide the player to obtain plot resources.

[0104] Specifically, after displaying multiple plot options configured at the corresponding plot node on the above-mentioned target game plot screen, the terminal can also obtain the second virtual resource currently held by the above-mentioned controlled game character in response to the selection operation of the third plot option in the plot options. The second virtual resource is all the virtual resources currently held by the controlled game character, and the second virtual resource includes the above-mentioned first virtual resource. Then, the terminal can judge the second virtual resource. If the above-mentioned second virtual resource does not meet the plot resources required for opening the third game plot corresponding to the above-mentioned third plot option, then the resource guidance information for the above-mentioned plot resource is displayed on the above-mentioned graphical user interface. The above-mentioned resource guidance information is used to indicate the channel for the above-mentioned controlled game character to obtain the above-mentioned plot resource.

[0105] Among them, the above-mentioned resource guidance information can be to guide the controlled game character to enter the game plot corresponding to a specific plot node identifier; or, it can be to guide the controlled game character to enter the game plot corresponding to a specific plot node identifier under a specific chapter; or, it can be to guide the controlled game character to obtain plot resources through resource transactions, etc. The specific settings can be made according to needs and are not limited here.

[0106] From the above content, it can be seen that the game plot screen and the plot progress bar can be displayed on the graphical user interface so that the plot nodes with multiple plot options can be clearly identified according to the multiple plot node identifiers on the above plot progress bar, so that the controlled game character can be controlled to enter different game plots by triggering different plot options. Then, in response to the selection operation of the first plot node identifier in the plot node identifier, the plot can be backtracked based on the target game plot screen corresponding to the above first plot node identifier, which can avoid the situation where the user needs to repeat the game process when selecting different plot directions of the game, and reduce the time the user needs to spend on selecting different plot directions of the game.

[0107] In an optional implementation, since the completion status of each plot node in the game plot corresponding to different chapters of the player is different, for example, the completion of some plot nodes has completed the corresponding plot, a certain plot node in different chapters is the plot that the player is experiencing, and the plot at another part of the plot nodes has not been unlocked by the player and has not occurred, etc., in order to facilitate the players to more clearly identify the plot nodes at different plot node identifiers, the above-mentioned plot node identifiers can be used to represent the completion status of the above-mentioned controlled game characters at the corresponding plot nodes. The above-mentioned completion status includes three situations: the plot has been completed, the plot is in progress, and the plot has not occurred, and these three situations can be displayed in chronological order on the plot progress bar.

[0108] Among them, the above-mentioned plot node identification can indicate the completion status of the controlled game character at the corresponding plot node through the information displayed on the identification, or can indicate the completion status of the controlled game character at the corresponding plot node through the display style of the identification, etc., which can be set according to needs and is not limited here.

[0109] Specifically, the limitation of the display style of the above-mentioned logo includes but is not limited to the limitation of the logo's color, special effects, size and other styles to indicate the completion status of the controlled game character at the corresponding plot node.

[0110] For example, Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The display styles of the "A" node identifier, "B" node identifier and "C" node identifier are different. The "A" node identifier is used to indicate that the plot of the controlled game character at the corresponding plot node has been completed, and the "B" node identifier is used to indicate that the plot of the controlled game character at the corresponding plot node is in progress, that is, the currently displayed game plot screen is the game plot screen corresponding to the "B" node identifier, and the "C" node identifier is used to indicate that the plot of the controlled game character at the corresponding plot node has not occurred.

[0111] It is understandable that in some embodiments, there may be hidden tasks on the plot progress bar. Since the hidden tasks will only appear when triggered by the player, the hidden tasks will only appear in the plot node mark on the plot progress bar that indicates that the plot has been completed.

[0112] In some embodiments, when the terminal responds to a selection operation on a first plot node identifier among the plot node identifiers, it can judge the completion status of the above-mentioned controlled game character represented by the first plot node identifier at the corresponding plot node, so as to determine the specific processing method for plot backtracking based on the target game plot screen corresponding to the above-mentioned first plot node identifier based on different completion statuses.

[0113] Specifically, if the first plot node identifier indicates that the plot has been completed, a backtracking editing page for the first plot node is displayed, and the backtracking editing page is used to edit the backtracking method for the target game plot screen.

[0114] In this embodiment, the terminal sets up a backtracking editing page so that the player can operate in the backtracking editing page, thereby prompting the terminal to clarify the backtracking method the player wants. The above-mentioned backtracking method can be a method of playing the plot for the key plot in the game plot, or it can be a method of jumping to a page corresponding to a plot node identifier to re-select the plot options. The specific setting can be made according to needs and is not limited here.

[0115] Among them, the above-mentioned backtracking editing page may include an information input control, so that the player can input the backtracking method through the information input control; or, the above-mentioned backtracking editing page may include a method control corresponding to each backtracking method, so that the player can select the method control, and use the backtracking method corresponding to the selected method control as the backtracking method indicated by the above-mentioned backtracking editing operation, etc. The specific setting can be made according to the needs and is not limited here.

[0116] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned backtracking editing page includes a plot playback control, which is equivalent to the mode control corresponding to the above-mentioned backtracking mode. The backtracking mode corresponding to the plot playback control is a mode of playing the plot for the key plot in the game plot, that is, the terminal can respond to the triggering operation of the above-mentioned plot playback control, and play the above-mentioned target game plot screen and the game plot screen of the key plot node in sequence. The above-mentioned key plot node is the plot node between the game plot identified by the above-mentioned first plot node and the game plot in which the above-mentioned controlled game character is currently located.

[0117] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned backtracking editing page includes a plot jump control, which is equivalent to the mode control corresponding to the above-mentioned backtracking mode. The backtracking mode corresponding to the plot jump control is a mode of jumping to a page corresponding to a plot node identifier to re-select plot options, that is, the terminal can respond to the triggering operation of the above-mentioned plot jump control, and switch the above-mentioned game plot screen to display the above-mentioned target game plot screen on the above-mentioned graphical user interface, and display multiple plot options configured at the corresponding plot node on the above-mentioned target game plot screen.

[0118] Specifically, if the first plot node identifier indicates that the plot is in progress, the historical plot of the target game plot screen is played.

[0119] In this embodiment, if the above-mentioned first plot node identifier indicates that the plot is in progress, it means that the player is currently experiencing the plot corresponding to the first plot node identifier. In order to facilitate the player to better choose the plot, the background of the story, key events or the past of the characters need to be reviewed for the player through interpolation or flashback.

[0120] Among them, the historical plot of the above-mentioned target game plot screen can be the key plot in the game plot of the corresponding chapter, that is, the plot at the plot node, or it can be the game plot before the target game plot screen in the corresponding chapter, etc. It can be set according to needs and is not limited here.

[0121] Exemplarily, the terminal may sequentially play the game plot screens of the historical plot nodes and the target game plot screens, wherein the historical plot nodes are plot nodes in a chapter of the game plot that are located before the game plot identified by the first plot node.

[0122] Specifically, if the first plot node identifier indicates that the plot has not occurred, a prompt indicating that the plot has not occurred is given.

[0123] In this embodiment, if the above-mentioned first plot node identifier represents that the plot has not occurred, it means that the player has not currently unlocked the plot corresponding to the first plot node identifier. In order to proceed with the game plot, the player needs to be prompted that the plot has not occurred, so as to prompt the player that the currently selected plot has not occurred. The controlled game character needs to be controlled to backtrack to the ongoing game plot to continue the game plot.

[0124] This embodiment also provides a game plot display device, which can be integrated into a terminal device. Fig.10 As shown, the game plot display device may include:

[0125] The screen display module 1001 is used to display the game plot screen and the plot progress bar on the graphical user interface. The plot progress bar includes multiple plot node identifiers.

[0142] In some embodiments, the game plot display device further includes a second selection module, and the second selection module is specifically used to:

[0143] In response to a selection operation of a second plot option in the plot options, obtaining current character attributes of the controlled game character;

[0144] If there is an enemy game character in the second game plot corresponding to the second plot option, and the character attribute of the enemy game character is greater than the preset threshold of the current character attribute, an information prompt is displayed on the graphical user interface.

[0145] In some embodiments, the game plot display device further includes a third selection module, and the third selection module is specifically used to:

[0146] In response to a selection operation of a third plot option in the plot options, obtaining a second virtual resource currently held by the controlled game character;

[0147] If the second virtual resource does not satisfy the plot resources required for opening the third game plot corresponding to the third plot option, resource guidance information for the plot resources is displayed on the graphical user interface, and the resource guidance information is used to indicate the channel for the controlled game character to obtain the plot resources.

[0148] In some embodiments, the plot node identifier is used to indicate the completion status of the controlled game character at the corresponding plot node, and the identifier selection module 1002 is specifically used to:

[0149] If the first plot node identifier indicates that the plot has been completed, a backtracking editing page for the first plot node is displayed, and the backtracking editing page is used to edit a backtracking method for the plot screen of the target game;

[0150] If the first plot node identifier indicates that the plot is in progress, the historical plot of the target game plot screen is played;

[0151] If the first plot node identifier indicates that the plot has not occurred, a prompt indicating that the plot has not occurred is given.

[0152] In some embodiments, the screen display module 1001 is specifically used for:

[0153] Displaying the initial game plot screen on the graphical user interface;

[0154] In response to a chapter viewing operation on the initial game plot screen, a chapter list of the game plot to which the initial game plot screen belongs is displayed on the graphical user interface, wherein the chapter list includes at least two game plot chapters, and there is a plot relationship between the at least two game plot chapters;

[0155] In response to a selection operation on a target game plot chapter among the game plot chapters, a chapter details page of the target game plot chapter is displayed as the game plot screen on the graphical user interface.

[0156] From the above content, it can be seen that the game plot screen and the plot progress bar can be displayed on the graphical user interface so that the plot nodes with multiple plot options can be clearly identified according to the multiple plot node identifiers on the above plot progress bar, so that the controlled game character can be controlled to enter different game plots by triggering different plot options.
