☯ Context 背景資料 ☯

Unlike my other games in the Song of Morus series, lots of real life reference of Hong Kong local culture has been added into this game. The antagonist is a Tanka, a ethnic group in Southern China who live on boat for their life. And lots of boat models are specifically created to matched this theme. I guess the most iconic one would be the Jumbo floating resturant (Thanks to Leo173173), which i used it for the second stage bossfight. The protagonist's  temple boat is also based on the only existing floating Tin Hau temple in Hong Kong (ref), but highly modified for better game experience.

跟以往桑之巫韻系列不同﹐鹽海嘆聲這遊戲我特別做了許多資料搜集以及製作獨有的立體模型﹐就為加上獨特的香港歷史文化元素。最明顯的應該是在第二段作為頭目戰船的珍寶海鮮舫(感謝Leo173173借出立體模型)﹐而主角駕駛的則是香港現時唯一的水上三角天后廟船。

☯ Future Plan 未來計劃 ☯

Currently, I would like to polish & extend the current content. Ideally, I would like the game to be ~15 minute long (one playthrough no death no skip). After that, depend on how much attention it attaches, i probably will create chapter 2 and it may include one of the Gospelboats from the Oriental Boat Mission.

暫時我計劃就著現有的內容進行完善和擴充﹐理想情況下我希望一次的遊戲時間能達到15分鐘。之後如果遊戲有迴響﹐我可能會籌備製作第二章﹐目前已有若干靈感﹐或會以東方水上基督教會的福音船為材。
