Chapter 606: 348 Chapter 606: 348 The completion of the new ga ca surprisingly fast.
Fang Cheng had thought his colleagues would take it slow, waiting until they had adjusted before starting on the new ga.
But Huang Ping and the others, once they saw the ga, were like chickens injected with vigor; they completed the full version in just a few days, so fast that it left Fang Cheng a bit astounded.
As Fang Cheng tested the ga with a rather high degree of completion, he asked in puzzlent, “How co you guys finished so quickly this ti? You’ve broken the record.”
“It’s rare to make a horror ga; it’s inevitable to get excited,” Huang Ping said with a thumbs-up. “Honestly, I particularly enjoy making horror gas. My favorite mods are the horror ones too. And this ga really packs a punch; after playing it, I didn’t dare to sleep.”
“This isn’t a horror ga…”
“Boss, you’re being modest again,” Huang Ping sighed. “The horror atmosphere in this ga is definitely one of the best I’ve played. Even though there’s not a single ghost to be seen, nor any chase scenes, playing it just gives you a sense of eeriness and unease. Furthermore, each puzzle seems absurd at first glance, but on closer reflection, they seem to form a coherent whole—definitely a ga that makes you think deeply and fearfully.”
Seeing Huang Ping so excited, Fang Cheng’s fear of rivals flared up again.
After so thought, he decided he needed to intervene a bit more this ti.
After all, he had not easily hooked this Guixian, and to have it killed off by his own employees from the get-go was simply unacceptable.
So, he said to Huang Ping, “The ga is well-made, but the core of the ga can be a bit more obscure.”
“Why do that?” Huang Ping asked, puzzled.
“Hiding the details deeper will encourage players to keep exploring. Besides, the ga’s surface layer can be enriched further, allowing players to have a lot of fun even if they don’t notice these details.”
Huang Ping thought for a while, then said firmly, “I understand.”
On the fourth day, Huang Ping presented the improved version.
Seeing a version completed in just three days, Fang Cheng realized they truly enjoyed making horror gas.
This ti, the planners made significant modifications to the atmosphere of the ga as per Fang Cheng’s requirents.
The players had more content to enjoy; the NPCs in the ga beca more amiable. Each player could freely choose their birthplace, with each area having its distinct features and plenty of points to explore.
Every NPC could be wooed; players could befriend or court them in the ga, and those with special hobbies could even win over a multitude of foster fathers, then stab them one by one to inherit their fortunes.
The characteristic of Guixian ant that each player’s ga world was independent, but players could also connect online to enter a new world and play together there.
However, if players sought to delve into the mysteries underlying the ga, they would find it growing more challenging.
The player-controlled characters would start babbling nonsense, so NPCs’ attitudes would beco aggressive, making the ga even more bizarre.
This version was already very close to what Fang Cheng had in mind, though he felt it was still sowhat lacking.
“How about adding so main storyline?” Fang Cheng suggested.
“A main story? Oh, I get it.”
Fang Cheng had more to say, but Huang Ping already had an epiphany, and promptly started making adjustnts.
Another five days passed, and the new version arrived.
In this new version, different areas had different main quests, such as becoming the mayor of a region or the most famous painter in the locality.
To complete their main quest, players had to keep working to earn money, then enhance their strength, expand their network, improve their social status, and gradually achieve their goals.
If players played the ga normally, it would seem relaxed and leisurely, a joyful experience. To call it a healing ga wouldn’t be an overstatent.
But once players began to probe into the truth behind the accumulation of details in the ga, the maliciousness of the ga would hit them full on.
The difficulty would keep increasing, NPCs’ behavior would beco stranger, and the atmosphere of the ga would turn extrely chilling, until the players reverted to the path of “ignorance.”
Looking at the version Huang Ping had completed, Fang Cheng felt very satisfied.
This ga’s style perfectly matched his own idea of “the bliss of ignorance.”
Seeking the truth is a very painful process, and the truth often becos a new source of pain. It’s like the ubiquitous Guixian in the universe; trying to understand their origins without sufficient strength is a very distressing process.
Pleased with a nod, Fang Cheng announced that the ga was ready for release.
The ga was titled “Wonderful Life,” a simulation role-playing ga, and the tags were considerately applied: “healing,” “relax,” and “suitable for ages 15 and up.”
Upon seeing these tags, players were speechless once again.
Whenever they thought Fang Cheng Studio’s gas had reached the edge of abstraction, they always managed to bring out so interesting new twists, showing players that what they considered the edge was not the studio’s edge.
