From Dungeon to Gaming Empire

Before obtaining the crystal.

He doesn't care much about purely urban crystals.

Because theoretically speaking, it is also possible to create an urban world out of thin air using materials from the Prototype and Resident Evil series, but it is still difficult to create a super-realistic urban atmosphere with rich enough details.

The plot of the Dark World lasts a total of twenty-one days, and most of the biochemical plots take place within one day, and are basically in a state of collapse.

And we really want to pursue ultimate authenticity.

I want to create a super realistic modern city with full quality of life, exactly the same as the Blue Planet in my previous life.

Then every character in this city cannot be repeated. Each character must have his or her own growth experience, trajectory, personality, habits, occupation, etc., and must be organically integrated with the huge city to run for a long time without any bugs.

The difficulty and workload are exaggerated.

Any large city has millions of people!

Although Prototype and Resident Evil have rich urban materials, to truly polish out a realistic and ultra-modern city, even Qi Ji would have to spend at least several years and a lot of mental energy.

This is obviously not cost-effective.

So that's where Grand Theft Auto got its inspiration.

What surprised Qi Ji the most was...

This series includes several ready-made large city resource packs.

For example, New York (Liberty City), Miami (Vice City), Los Angeles (San Roque), San Francisco (San Fierro), Las Vegas (Las Venturas), and Leonidas (Florida) which appeared in the sixth generation.

There are dozens of cities, large and small.

The cost of packaged mental power is only about 500 to 1000.

In the process of forming each of Qi Ji's inspirations, not only will the work itself, derivatives, MOD and other materials be integrated, but also the hidden plots and content will be completed and made real.

Therefore, even the materials extracted from 2D games will be made real and supplemented with corresponding details.

But it's the crystallization of different inspirations.

Automatic optimization focuses on different directions.

The GTA series is a purely urban worldview without any supernatural powers.

Because the original work is known for its extremely high degree of freedom, a large number of details and realism, after the inspiration was formed, it was further strengthened and completed around authenticity and details.

Deploy a Saint Luodu.

Not only is the cost extremely low.

It's not much different from real-world Los Angeles.

There will be no duplication of characters, and millions of people basically have real life trajectories. It is like a huge open sandbox that can run for a long time without any bugs. This will be a place that can infinitely restore the pure urban worldview.

Even Qi Ji would find it difficult to find fault with it.

This world will have its own news, culture, entertainment, and political situation.

Once adventurers enter, they can freely taste delicious food, play video games, watch original movies automatically generated by this world, or start a business by opening a store or speculating in stocks, commit fraud, rob a bank, etc.

Of course, you can also play several GTA protagonists.

This allows you to immerse yourself in the real life of a pure city without any extraordinary background.

interesting.

Let’s build on this.

Create a secondary secret realm mainly for leisure.

In the future, other slow-paced urban leisure materials, or materials with realistic urban themes without magic or supernatural elements, such as some criminal investigation, romance, and business themes can be sewn in.

Qi Ji's sea of ​​inspiration includes not only various games but also film, television, animation and other materials.

Therefore, there is still a lot of potential pure urban content in the future.

Although secret realms that focus on realism and leisure may sound slow and uninteresting, in fact, every kind of secret realm can find its audience.

Some adventurers like to fight and kill.

There are adventurers who like leisure travel.

Just find the secret place that is most comfortable and suitable for you.

Only then can they quickly gain cultivation and break through to a higher level.

of course.

The output of extraordinary resources in purely urban secret realms is definitely not enough.

If everyone goes to a secret leisure resort for vacation in the future, how will Miracle City’s resource income be guaranteed?

Although adventurers who like passion, fighting, excitement and exploring the unknown always make up the majority, and the possibility of everyone being idle is almost zero, Qi Ji can still make some designs in advance.

For example, providing value-added services.

Contribution points can be exchanged for money in the secret world.

Thus.

Even for a better quality of life.

Adventurers will also try to find ways to earn more contribution points.

In fact, similar value-added services already exist in Miracle City. In secret realms with a strong sense of life, such as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, adventurers can spend contribution points to exchange for a certain amount of silver.

The premise is not to destroy the balance.

Miracle City can recycle contribution points.

And adventurers can get a better experience.

This is a two-way effort where both parties get what they need, so why not do it?

Qi Ji plans to create a leisure urban secondary secret realm based on "Grand Theft Auto".

As for Darkest Dungeon and Plants vs. Zombies? They're both excellent resources.

The former is a very classic Cthulhu-style game. The monsters, content and stories are very curious, and the mechanism is also very interesting. It was one of Qi Ji's favorite Cthulhu games in his previous life.

Worth doing.

However, the style and world view of this work do not quite match the current main secret realms.

In addition, the original work is a 2D horizontal turn-based game. Although the materials are automatically optimized after crystallization, how to remake it to fully demonstrate the characteristics and charm of the game requires further thinking and planning.

There is no need to rush this one.

There is no need to say much about "Plants vs. Zombies".

This is the most famous and well-known mini-game among these three crystals.

Although Plants vs. Zombies is very classic and the gameplay is also very interesting.

However, the volume and elements are not large enough, making it not suitable for opening up a new secret realm alone.

In the future, it can be launched as an activity chapter of the Frenzy Secret Realm, or sewn into a secret realm dedicated to tower defense games. If you have extra secondary secret realm cores, you can also make a separate secondary secret realm.

At this point, Qi Ji’s goal for the next stage of secret realm creation is very clear.

Nowadays, the Frenzy Secret Realm and the Ten Kingdoms Secret Realm are almost operating at full capacity, and there is not enough new material, so new chapters cannot be added, and gameplay innovation can only be made based on existing materials.

The Sui and Tang chapters of the Records of the Ten Kingdoms are enough to explore for a while.

There is no rush to update.

Qi Ji will update a battle royale mode to the Frenzy Secret Realm in the near future. In addition, he plans to acquire a first-level dungeon. Once the secondary core purchased from the offline market is sent to the territory, he can immediately create a first-level secondary secret realm with a casual urban style.

……

now.

The dungeon is closed.

The hotels and taverns in Miracle City are still bustling.

The tavern was almost full, with adventurers drinking and discussing things related to secret adventures, while classic adventures were being replayed in the tavern crystal.

"Brilliant! Cool! Gorgeous!"

Many people watched the fourth act, "Cause and Effect," again.

The adventurer's constant flashbacks between the two timelines are so thrilling.

The spectacle of time standing still due to the final overload and space-time explosion of the Holy Ark's core is even more breathtaking!

"Cooper and BT work so well together!"

"Although Miracle City has already released its first mecha, its intelligence is not ideal. I don't know if we can have an intelligent mecha like BT."

"..."

"Will the resistance finally succeed?"

"With the protagonist Cooper, how can we not succeed!"

"I don't think so. After all, the IMC is just a company in the Star Ocean world responsible for mining on the edge of the galaxy. Who knows if there are larger forces behind it?"

"A private mining company actually has such a large army and weapons capable of destroying a planet... I feel like the scale of the world of Xinghai is a bit outrageous."

“It’s so curious!”

"Big guys, work harder!"

"Work together to uncover the worldview of the Star Sea Secret Realm!"

"Cheers to Xinghai! Cheers to Titan! Cheers to BT and Cooper!"

"Praise Miracle City! Praise old thief Qi!"

"..."

Today, the Titan chapter became the most popular one.

But this does not mean that other secret realms are not popular.

For example, many people are watching Higanbana's adventures through the tavern crystal.

Chen Jingchou, played by Bianhua, bravely broke into the Sui army camp. With her superb swordsmanship and mysterious Taoist magic, she killed many Sui army soldiers along the way. In the end, she defeated a captain who turned into a demon and successfully rescued a group of boys captured by the Sui army.

The process was also very exciting and thrilling, and many people applauded while watching it.

After this mission was successfully completed.

Chen Jingchou (Higanbana) and Xiaoxue were invited to the Tuoba tribe, where they were given a high-level reception by the Tuoba clan. They experienced the scenery and life outside the Great Wall in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and saw the vast grassland with herds of cattle and sheep and yurts of nomadic peoples.

What a beautiful scenery outside the Great Wall.

The various special foods, grassland customs and shaman culture are also eye-opening.

"Brother Higanbana is so awesome! He was able to single-handedly break into the heavily guarded Sui army camp and rescue so many children from the hordes of soldiers. If it were me, I would have died countless times already."

"What's going on with these Sui troops?"

"Why are there so many demonic officers in there?"

"Could it be that the Sui Dynasty of this world has been controlled by demons?"

"I think it's very likely that these Sui soldiers captured children just to feed Princess Dugu. Perhaps that Master Yuwen, who was born with demonic eyes, is the biggest demon!"

"It's so scary..."

"Fortunately, Chen Jingchou has gained the support of Zhang Lie, the leader of the Tuoba tribe. They have already identified the Sui navy responsible for transporting the Shennong Ding. I hope the process of seizing the artifact will go smoothly!"

"I don't think it's that easy."

"Yuwen Tuo also wants this tripod."

"Maybe I'll meet him head-on this time!"

"..."

The Sui and Tang Dynasty chapters and the Titan chapters of Miracle City are the latest content.

Every breakthrough in progress will naturally attract a lot of attention.

This does not mean that other secret realms such as the End Arena, Frenzy Arena, as well as Biochemical, Darklight, and Ashina are not hotly discussed.

"Everyone, we have established the Final Arena, our first team to compete in the King of Fighters tournament. We hope you will pay close attention and support us, and give us more advice and help."
