數位遊戲中文史素材與故事設計之關係探討－以《天之痕》為例

數位遊戲是數位內容產業優先發展的重點產業，在線上遊戲市場逐年看漲，單機遊戲生存日漸困難的狀況下，依舊可以發現許多歷史悠久的單機遊戲品牌不斷地推陳出新，《軒轅劍》系列即為其一。《軒轅劍》系列歷史悠久，作品繁多，且銷量和獲獎兼具，創作小組將中國傳統的文史素材融入到遊戲設計中，成功地在國產遊戲圈中鑄造了“軒轅劍”的神話。本論文以《天之痕》這部《軒轅劍》系列之中最具代表性的作品作為研究樣本，透過角色、場景和情節的分析架構，探析《天之痕》遊戲故事的文史風貌，以及其故事設計的特色、缺失和行銷賣點，並整理歸納可供遊戲相關學術研究及產業，在遊戲故事設計、企劃與行銷上的參考依據。本論文的探析結果，發現《天之痕》遊戲故事的優缺點包含：(一) 大量運用小說之中的素材，營造時空背景虛實相生的氛圍和戲劇情境。(二) 致力於作品之間的連結，使各個遊戲故事之間產生關聯和一致性。(三) 著重於運用磨難的情節，營造遊戲故事的悲情氛圍。(四) 打破是非善惡的絕對價值觀念，強化遊戲故事的情節衝突與內涵。 (五) 部分文史素材的運用未見其必要性。
