I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Shi Ming, the person in charge of Silent Games, saw Lu Jian's document at the first time.

His expression ranged from bewilderment, to shock, to longing and anticipation, and finally completely excited.

"Sure enough, there is such a usage."

Shi Ming was overwhelmed by Lu Jian's genius idea.

After [Morning Star] was produced, Shi Ming felt that this thing would definitely bring about brand-new changes to the human game industry.

[Spiritual Night] is just an appetizer, it is an experiment, and what can really make a qualitative change in [Morning Star] is undoubtedly an open world game.

Just like the emergence of several MMs in those years, the era of Internet games has changed, and the huge and real world has moved all players. The open world of virtual reality can definitely revolutionize the entire game industry.

After all, the open world with keyboard and mouse handles is only realized by the player through specific operations. Although what you see is what you get sounds good, most games are just repertoires arranged under the established framework. An opportunity is in front of the players. Whether to continue to drown in those old games or embrace virtual reality, the answer is self-evident.

However, the only thing Shi Ming worried about was the duration of the game.

Although some game companies release an open world game a year, which is dubbed a cannery, it is because they have mature supporting tools and different studios release them alternately. In fact, a game still needs to be developed. Two or three years.

As for Lu Yi, this is virtual reality and an open world. No matter how you think about it, it will take four or five years to realize it.

However, Lu Yi's second document was quickly passed on.

When Shi Ming saw it, he was dumbfounded.

Because it's publicity material.

Lu Jian asked Shi Ming to go to some domestic and foreign game forums to recruit the first batch of testers, and the first round of closed testing will start tomorrow morning.

"When the hell did he do this?"

Shi Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Before [Morning Star], Lu Yi actually only used Shi Ming's assembly line factory, channels, registration materials, etc., and did not participate in the specific game development business.

As a game practitioner, Shi Ming knows very well how difficult it is to develop an excellent open world game.

To develop a high-quality open world game, hundreds of excellent software engineers are required to debug and create day and night, and an art team of nearly a thousand people is required to provide fake textures and materials for the game. A plan that dares to innovate and focuses on details is required The team needs a powerful game engine capable of carrying various designs, and more importantly, a talented and talented producer with outstanding vision.

Whether Lu Jue is such a person, Shi Ming dare not say, because from the perspective of "Calling Soul Night", Lu Juan has not made too many breakthroughs in the gameplay. The excellence of "Calling Soul Night" lies in the immersive Experience, and the gameplay is exactly the same as the first interactive video of Lu Yi.

Drawing the pictures drawn on the canvas with a computer is innovation, and using pixels to perform interpretation is creation.

The open world is a game type that players are passionate about and enduring. All game manufacturers will also carry out innovative interpretations on it. There are not many ways to play for Lu Yi.

However, the doubts are all doubts, Shi Ming still followed Lu Yi's instructions, posted the test announcement to the forum and some social media, and invited some well-known players to experience it.

In an instant, the players exploded.

===703. Closed test===

In a game forum that started in the country, Shi Ming found the test recruitment released by the operator, and there were hundreds of replies in just a few minutes.

[Fuck, Lu Jian is about to release a new game, this time an online game? 】

[Open world?Director Lu, I don’t play much games, so don’t lie to me, isn’t [Evocative Night] considered an open world? 】

[Is it the kind of open world I thought, the kind where you can run freely and pick apples? 】

[I'm already in virtual reality and still want to pick apples, haven't you picked enough apples in Hyrule, of course you have to do some cool things in the open world]

[Smack me, hit me, Director Lu, hit me! 】

[I really want to be Director Lu Yi's dog, but Director Lu Yi said he likes cats, but it doesn't matter, because I'm just a mouse]

[Let me just say, how could this game equipment not be escorted by a masterpiece, I don’t know what the theme of Lu Yi’s game is, but thinking of being able to experience those terrifying scenes in person, I’m so excited! 】

[I probably won’t be able to draw me, let’s wait for an anchor to broadcast live, er, or the game experience is fine too]

[This test will recruit [-] people, if you break your head, it is a yes]

Facing Lu Lian's new game, everyone is vying to be the denominator, hoping that they can be drawn. No matter whether the game is good or bad, [Morning Star]'s first large-scale game will definitely be recorded in the annals of history.

And it's not a loss at all to participate in the test by yourself. It is impossible to log out after entering the game. You must pass the level to leave.

At the same time, some anchors who had previously cooperated in promotion also received invitations.

For example, the old eggplant is one of them.

There is no cumbersome selection process, he directly got the download code, entered the device to start downloading the game.

However, the name of this game made him feel a little subtle.

【cage】

Just from the name, I don't know what kind of game it is.

Since it is an open world, there must be a big map, right?

But this is a test, maybe the map range is not large?

After the game was downloaded, the old eggplant immediately put on his helmet and entered the sea of ​​stars.

He saw that there was an extra door next to the [Calling Soul] that had already been cleared.

The door looks equally simple in shape, but it is more ancient and western-style than the [Conjuring Soul] style, like the gate of some castle or fortress.

There are still some dark green leaves leaking out from the crack of the door.

Old Eggplant stretched out his hand, trying to push open the door.

But the door seemed to be solidified, and it couldn't be pushed at all no matter what.

After trying for a while, the old eggplant even went around to the back of the door to take a look.

Of course, behind the door, there is still a door.

He exited the device, opened the web page and searched for [Prisoner].

Sure enough, some people like him who have obtained the test qualification have already leaked the name of this game, and the Internet is full of discussions about this game.

Some people think that this is a room escape game. Players may decrypt and escape in a very wide place, or survive in the wilderness like battle royale and eat chicken.

Some people also think that this may be Lu Yi's previous weird and horror-style game, maybe it is to let the player be locked in the coffin board, looking for how to escape or something.

There are also researches, saying that the architectural style of this kind of door is more suitable for the kingdom of the night among the foreign universes that Lu Jian has appeared so far, so maybe this game will be related to the kingdom of the night.

Old Eggplant thinks the last statement makes sense.

He imagined a similar game. He didn't know whether he could ride horses in the forests and small towns of the Kingdom of the Night to solve the monsters and crises encountered by ordinary people, or enter the Gray Tower of the Kingdom of the Night and learn to master it in school. magic.

Either way it's exciting.

Moreover, according to the recruitment post, this is an online game, a massively multiplayer online game.

Most of the open world games played by Old Eggplant were stand-alone games. It is difficult to compare the degree of freedom with the current open world games similar to the online game Big World. But under the virtual reality equipment, the traditional one with air walls, An open world game where all kinds of operations are restricted will definitely not work.

You use the keyboard and mouse to jump around in the game and be blocked by the air wall, which is a completely different concept from using [Morning Star] to jump around in the game and be blocked by the air wall.

This is also one of the reasons why games for virtual reality devices are not easy to develop. If complete immersion cannot be achieved, the actions of the characters will be at a loss.

The old eggplant soon saw that the group of the up master in the game area he was in rang, and the news quickly reached 99+.

[Old c]: Have you obtained the test qualification for [Prisoner Cage]?

[Leisure Ronin]: I got it, downloading now, urgent and very important.

[Drinking herbal tea for fear of getting angry]: No way, no way, no one didn't get the qualification for the test, right?

[Old c]: Let me just ask, I have already downloaded the game and am waiting for the server to open.

[Mr. a]: I declare in advance that I am a good person. Don’t fuck me when you go in. Let’s put aside the dispute together and make a common strategy.

[Spicy Mantou]: Who will kill you, a werewolf? I feel that the game with the theme of Kingdom of the Night may have more freedom than we imagined. You see, the previous game was in the same room, and I wanted to go out Everyone is dead, but the Kingdom of the Night is so vast, the map may take a while to run.

The old eggplant also thinks this is true.

Someone before tried to see if they could leave directly by taking the mountain road, and even wilderness survival experts tried, but they all failed and died miserably.

How big is the map in this game?

Except for the directly invited game anchors and evaluation team, the remaining 300 people quickly determined that most of them were senior players, and almost all of them had cleared the [Spiritual Night].

On the evening of the second day, at six o'clock, the closed test of [The Cage] began.

After the old eggplant had eaten early and solved his personal physical problems, he put on his helmet and entered the virtual world.

That door was already loose at this moment, and Old Eggplant pushed the door open.

crunch--

Accompanied by a sound, the old eggplant felt that his surroundings were shrouded in darkness.

Before he had time to confirm the surrounding situation, he felt a chill.

It seemed that something covered his body, like water.

But there was a stench from that thing, which made old eggplant subconsciously hold his breath, and he soon realized that he seemed to be in sewage.

No, it's muddy water, here is a quagmire!

When the old eggplant realized, an invisible force pulled him, and in an instant, the old eggplant was pulled out of the water.

He breathed heavily, and what came into his nostrils was the air that smelt a little rancid and earthy.

Old Eggplant was lying on the ground, a feeling of surviving a catastrophe enveloped him.

It wasn't until he heard the voice next to him that he came back to his senses, straightened his body, and looked forward.

Around him, many people in ragged clothes looked at each other in blank dismay, among them were game anchors familiar to Old Eggplant.

And standing in front of them was a majestic knight in red armor riding on a horse.

"Stand up, you bastards, now is not the time to rest."

The knight's voice reached Old Eggplant's ears, and he realized that he had already entered the game.

Surrounded by a vast and deep forest, in front of him is an npc who looks like a guide.

The old eggplant pinched his face, which was still covered with muddy water, and felt pain.

"This game is too real."

He couldn't help feeling emotional.
