Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 405: Is this a sandbox? Goose girl wailing!!!

"Oh—workbench!"

Dream's eyes lit up when he obtained the workbench.

Clearly, in tool crafting, My World still preserved many fundantal ga settings,

This approach greatly simplified the players' exploration process.

Just like Dream now—seeing the workbench at first glance, he imdiately realized—oh, this is a block for making tools.

After quickly gathering so more wood with tapping sounds, plop, Dream pulled the workbench out from his pants and placed it on the ground.

His blocky hands rubbed together: "Then let's start making tools!"

The workbench before him appeared perfectly square.

In the very center was a nine-grid pattern, and in the upper right corner of the nine-grid was a thick book labeled "Recipe List."

Thank goodness!

Dream breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Golden Wind thoughtfully provided players with a recipe list.

Otherwise, just looking at this lonely nine-grid, he really wouldn't know where to start.

Swish.

Touching the recipe list with his hand, the sound of flipping pages could be heard.

A UI interface with parchnt-like texture appeared before Dream's eyes—

"Wow—pretty cool."

Dream clearly didn't expect the recipe list to appear with such exquisite effects, letting out a surprised gasp.

That's right.

Because almost all players previously had concerns about the quality of Golden Wind's purely handcrafted pixel-art sandbox ga.

So general expectations were actually quite low.

Players' requirents for My World were simply "achieving the level of freedom shown in the promotional video."

And with that!

Improvents like lighting texture details, magical anti-Newtonian physics characteristics, and even a simple yet elegant page-turning effect beca bonus points for the ga!

Those little surprises one after another were like small candies Golden Wind specially prepared for players, continuously providing novel gaming experiences.

Soon!

Dream found the axe crafting formula in the synthesis list,

After all, from his current experience, wood was absolutely the most indispensable material in the early stages of My World.

As they say, a workman must first sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well.

He wanted to see if he could first make an axe to improve his logging efficiency.

"...Wood plank, wood plank, empty; wood plank, wood stick, empty; empty, wood stick, empty..."

Following the recipe list's instructions, Dream first crafted so wood sticks, then according to the prompts, arranged wood planks and sticks in the predetermined format into the workbench.

Flash!!!

With a faint white light flashing!

On the workbench's nine-grid, a wooden axe actually synthesized!

"Whoo! Aweso—!"

Dream exclaid in amazent.

And the chat barrage at this mont was also filled with surprised discussions—

"Wow! This synthesis is quite interesting, it seems to arrange materials into the shape of an axe in the nine-grid to achieve synthesis!"

"Yeah, two sticks form the handle, three wood pieces form the blade"

"Hiss—this synthesis thod is fun!"

"Really like building with blocks"

"Holy shit this is interesting! If I were Sam I wouldn't include the recipe list, feels like exploring this would be more fun!"

"Don't joke, without the recipe list, players wouldn't even think of this synthesis thod"

"So according to this theory, could other tools be synthesized this way too..."

"Yeah!"

"Hehehe fun fun, Dream try it, give it a try..."

Seeing the audience's discussions in the chat barrage.

A flash of inspiration also struck Dream's mind.

Right, since axes are synthesized by shape, what about other tools?

For example...

"Below are two sticks forming the handle,"

Dream said while placing sticks into the nine-grid:

"Then three wood planks placed horizontally above, see, doesn't it look like a pick..."

Flash!

Another white light flashed!

A wooden pickaxe was crafted by Dream without looking at the recipe list!

'OHHHHHHHHHH--!!!'

The chat barrage instantly erupted in cheers!

It really worked!

At this mont, players seed to understand why Golden Wind designed this world entirely composed of blocks.

Because blocks are the most fundantal elent unit in block-building gas, and also the foundation for infinite imagination extension.

We use blocks to build a red straight rod, then add two golden tips to it, and it becos Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel.

We use blocks to build a base, gradually decreasing upward, finally forming a pyramid, and it becos the ancient pyramid.

We either control our crudely assembled Transforrs to fight monsters, or grab our assembled future fighter jets to soar through the sky.

Block after block constitutes a world full of infinite possibilities in our eyes.

And now.

Golden Wind presents this electronic block toy for adults to all the big kids who never lost their childlike hearts.

Three wood planks, two sticks—you say it looks like a pickaxe, then it's a pickaxe.

Two wood planks, one stick—you say it's a hoe, then it's a hoe.

Stones arranged in a circle beco a furnace—very reasonable, after all, that's how you built furnaces to roast sweet potatoes outdoors when you were young.

A stick with two wood pieces wedged on top becos a long sword, because that's how Grandpa made wooden toy swords for you.

Just when this world constantly tells you "reality isn't as simple as you imagine, letting you take things for granted."

Golden Wind uses My World to build you a world that fully unleashes your imagination, letting you "take things for granted."

"Is this what sandbox ans? Amazing!!!"

At this mont, Dream holding various tools was already shocked by the ga's brilliantly simple logic.

And now!

A ssage prompt appeared in the lower right corner of his UI—

[Player "George" requests to join your world]

[Accept/Reject]

Great!

As Dream finished his exploration, George who ca to the ga exhibition with him successfully entered the motion-sensing pod and imdiately initiated local multiplayer!

However!

As George joined Dream's world, a brand new challenge appeared before them—

This ga has no minimap, so how would they find each other?

"I—am—here—!!!"

"Can—you—see—???"

"Hey—!!!"

However.

Just as Dream was still figuring out how to determine his coordinates to et up with George!

Through the voice channel, George's deliberately lowered voice, pretending to be a distant call, could be heard.

Dream rolled his eyes:

"Could you tone down the drama? This place is full of oak trees, how could I possibly see... holy shit I can actually see?!"

Turning around!

Through the dense oak forest!

A towering pillar built from dirt stood beneath the clouds!

And at the top of that thin, tall pillar, George was waving and jumping, occasionally shaking his butt,

That's right!

In My World, when players jump, they can instantly place blocks beneath their feet.

This was a small trick George discovered while watching another player during his wait.

Unexpectedly, he used it right after entering the ga.

Dream was stunned, amazed by George's simple and crude positioning thod.

The chat barrage was filled with LOOOOL, everyone praising George's extraordinary wisdom.

Soon!

The two t up.

After so simple explanations, they decided to build a house by the river.

After all, this was a ga exhibition, and their experience ti was limited.

Although after learning Dream was willing to attend Cologne Gascom, Twitch officially gave them dia representative slots, even as dia representatives, their experience ti was still limited.

So things like redstone technology, they didn't plan to experience, knowing the ga progress definitely wouldn't reach that point.

Thus, before starting the ga, they set today's gaming goal—

Build a small waterfront villa, like in the promotional video, facing the sea with spring blossoms.

Action now!

As Dream taught George the beginner techniques he discovered, the two began their logging work.

They cleared all the surrounding oak trees, then according to plan, outlined a rough small house periter.

Perfectly square.

Dream was quite satisfied.

As the two made repeated trips back and forth for building, the small house's walls quickly went up.

"Hiss—why does it feel like our house has so gap compared to the small villa in the promotional video?"

Glancing at the gradually setting sun, George placed down the wood block in his hand, clicking his tongue.

Other people's houses are exquisite and beautiful.

Not only with eaves, but also pointed roofs, bright windows, peaceful and serene.

Then look at their thing...

Perfectly square, like an oversized matchbox, they even forgot to carve out windows.

And it wasn't even roofed yet.

If they added a flat roof, this wouldn't be a villa, this would purely be a shoebox.

Dream's evaluation was:

"It'll be fine, it'll look beautiful once we finish building."

Hearing this, the chat barrage audience rolled their eyes, bursting into laughter—

"Self-deception like this?"

"I reckon even if you finish building, it'll just be a roofed shoebox?"

"Other people's houses: villa, small villa, large villa, exquisite villa; your house: shoebox, small shoebox, large shoebox, extra-large shoebox"

"Stop insulting!"

"Hahahahaha so true..."

"Probably ninety percent of everyone here would build shoeboxes too"

"Indeed"

"One dares to say, the other dares to believe, George actually started roofing"

"Working from morning to night, Master Dream finally built a perfectly square shoebox after a busy day"

However!

Just as everyone was still mocking Dream and George's building aesthetics!

Suddenly!

George, who was busy roofing, suddenly stopped, his voice sounding sowhat tense:

"Dream? Do you hear sothing... strange... in our house?"

A mont later.

Dream's voice sounded, also slightly tense:

"Hiss—why does it sound like... the sound is coming from the oak forest?"
