Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

[Event Mission: Find Carter]

[Mission Summary: Carter, the village carpenter, has not returned home on time, and his wife, Monier, is quite worried. She has asked you to go to the forest to find Carter.]

[Quest Reward: Adventure EXP * 200, Monier's Gratitude]

Monier was very excited that Kim Hyung-tae could help her and kept thanking him. However, the aunt standing next to her looked at Kim Hyung-tae and kindly offered a word of advice.

"Outsider, it's not safe outside the village. You look so clean and tidy, are you sure you can make it?"

"Don't worry, auntie, I'm from outside the village, it's fine."

As Kim Hyung-tae watched these conversations, he felt a strong sense of immersion.

However, he wasn't in the mood to read the dialogue right now. He had finally received a seemingly legitimate mission, so naturally he wanted to take a look. The only problem was that the reward was really not good.

Leaving aside the adventure experience, what's with Monier's gratitude?

After crossing the bridge and leaving the village, I followed the path I remembered from my journey.

The forest farm is not far from the village; in the game, it's only a few minutes' walk.

As he walked, Kim Hyung-tae was still thinking about the game's mission settings. Judging from the missions he had received so far, one was to explore the world, and the other was to find clues to become a professional.

There's also the event mission I just received, but no matter what kind of mission it is, it's different from any other game I've played before.

There is no clear way to complete it; it's no longer a linear process of simply arriving at a certain place and doing something. Instead, it gives you a general direction, and then you go and explore.

interesting.

I just don't know what the main storyline is like. Once again, I'm amazed at how different Xinghuo's games are.

Kim Hyung-tae walked through a thicket of bushes and soon returned to his birthplace, the same picturesque green meadow surrounded by trees. But now, a discordant element appeared in this scene.

Chapter 274 What is Immersion?

It was fine when I came, but now...

On the ruins of that logging camp, two creatures the size of wild boars were devouring humanoid flesh on the ruins of a wooden house. These two monsters were somewhat like enlarged versions of dogs on Earth, about 1.5 meters long and about 90 centimeters tall.

It should be classified as a medium-sized mammal, but unlike dogs...

The two prey had large heads and thick necks; from the upper body alone, they looked more like wild boars.

There is a slightly raised bone in the center of the forehead, which should be the attack method of this "wild boar". At the same time, because the bone is located on the top of the head, it looks a bit like a bald head from a distance.

If Kim Hyung-tae were to give this monster a name, he'd probably give it something like "Bald Big Dog."

The bald dog has a dark brown coat, with slightly longer hairs on its back and some scattered guard hairs. The fur is coarse and sparse, and it has no hooves.

The person beneath the monster's mouth, whose flesh had been torn into pieces, was no longer recognizable.

"Monster! Take this!"

Upon seeing the monster, Kim Hyung-tae didn't hesitate and charged forward with the wooden stick given to him by the system.

Then he hadn't even reached the bald dog.

Two large dogs had already rushed over.

Kim Hyung-tae tried hitting the hammer a few times, but quickly realized something was wrong.

"This idea is tricky, let's retreat."

For MMORPG players, being chased by monsters is not something to be ashamed of at all.

Just as Kim Hyung-tae was running back, he seemed to vaguely see someone in a tree.

To make sure I wasn't seeing things.

So he ran back down to the tree.

At that moment, the animation was triggered.

"Come up."

With a shout of "Come up!", the player climbed two steps up the tree. Immediately afterward, his shoulder was suddenly pulled, and a deep, helpless voice sounded from behind him.

"Are all you outsiders so fearless?"

Kim Hyung-tae turned around, and a middle-aged man appeared behind him. The man was wearing green linen clothes, carrying a longbow on his back, with two saws, one large and one small, hanging from his waist, and a cloth bag on the other side.

At the same time, a system notification popped up.

[Event Quest Progress: Finding Carter is complete. You can submit the quest to Monier to receive the reward.]

Looking at the notification that the task is complete.

Kim Hyung-tae was stunned.

"Huh? It's done already?"

Then, watching the dialogue between the characters, Kim Hyung-tae felt even more confused.

"You're Carter?"

"How do you know my name?"

"Your wife sent me to find you."

“Monier sent you? This isn’t nonsense... You should leave now, it’s very dangerous here.”

Kim Hyung-tae was in a great mood after completing the mission and didn't hold a grudge against Carter.

And because the task was completed.

When choosing a dialogue, Kim Hyung-tae deliberately picked a rather absurd reply, wanting to see how the plot would unfold.

"I'd like to leave, but aren't there still two bald dogs down there?"

After selecting the options.

Kim Hyung-tae also looked down, following the camera's gaze.

At this point, the character is indeed crouching in a tree, somewhat like someone crouching in a tree during Eternal Calamity.

It is not difficult to implement.

Kim Hyung-tae himself knew how to achieve similar effects, but as he said before, it's normal for these systems to appear in single-player games.

This was Kim Hyung-tae's first time experiencing an MMORPG.

Then he immediately thought of something else.

"If you can climb up here by yourself, then choosing a ranged class would mean you can avoid taking any damage the whole time?"

Thinking this, Kim Hyung-tae continued reading.

These two monsters clearly couldn't climb trees. Although they couldn't climb trees, these big dogs obviously didn't intend to give up their food so quickly. They tried to ram the trees with the bones on their heads, hoping to knock the two of them down.

With a loud 'bang,' the tree bark flew off, and the trees swayed, sending a rush of adrenaline through the body.

Fortunately, the tree was sturdy enough that the bald dog rammed it several times but failed to break it. Seeing that it couldn't knock down the tree, the bald dog didn't give up and started walking around under the tree.

But in any case, the two are now safe.

"Now you know why I didn't go back at noon."

"You also hid in the tree at noon?"

Kim Hyung-tae asked curiously.

The two of them couldn't go anywhere right now. Carter, as the village carpenter, was also a craftsman and usually quite talkative. He immediately started complaining to Kim Hyung-tae about his experiences during the day.

"I don't know who destroyed my lumberjack hut, took the tools I left inside, and destroyed the traps I placed around it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been bullied by these little creatures."

Listening to Carter's rambling, Kim Hyung-tae thought of the player who chopped down the log cabin.

This is because the player's actions deprived Carter of his tools and traps, ultimately preventing Carter from returning home.

To put it another way, this mission was a chain reaction caused by the reckless actions of a reckless player from the very beginning.

No, it's also possible that the prerequisite for triggering this task is that someone destroys the lumberyard.

Can..

How could Mr. Lin be so certain that someone would sabotage the operation...?

Hmm... that's not hard to guess. If any player sees a lumber hut, they will most likely destroy and loot it.

In any case, there were some prerequisites for this mission to occur, even though Kim Hyung-tae had already guessed how it was triggered.

I also found it very interesting.

This kind of precondition that takes into account the player's actions is truly refreshing once you understand it.

~~~

time flies.

If Liu Xiangxi hadn't reminded him to eat...

He didn't even notice.

He's been playing for almost two hours.

Yoo Hyung-seok was also surprised to see Kim Hyung-tae so engrossed in it.

Is this game fun?

Kim Hyung-tae had already put down the mouse.

He picked up the now-cold coffee beside him, took a sip, and then concluded with a sentence.

"It's not because it's fun, but because it's so immersive."

Kim Hyung-tae is, after all, a game producer.

After clearing my mind, I immediately noticed the difference in "Adventure World".

The ability to immerse oneself in an immersive experience is truly amazing.

Especially for a game.

The ability to quickly immerse players in the game is very important.

If you break down this demo, you'll find that the entire performance of this scene is very simple.

But it's precisely this ability to draw you in.

Numerous motion capture details, extremely high voice coverage, and smooth animation performances are all pluses for enhancing immersion.

After finishing the entire game.

Kim Hyung-tae's only regret was not being able to experience the multiplayer mode.

"Multiplayer mode? There should be a multiplayer mode, right?"

"I heard from Zheng Hui that she encountered a small-scale player-versus-player battle as soon as she entered the game..."

"?"

Hear this.

My gaming addiction, which had subsided, suddenly spiked up again.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

Chapter 275 Ma Xiao's Furious Outburst

"Has Xinghuo gone mad?! What are they doing?! Who does things like this?! Yeah! Who does things like this?!"

A high-end teahouse next to the Penguin Carnival setup.

Ma Xiao had just finished inspecting the site and was discussing cooperation details with several South Korean manufacturers.

His face was extremely ugly.

He was in a pretty good mood today.

By bringing in a South Korean game developer, Tencent finally has a foothold in its competition with Spark.

The promotional effects for the games "Black Desert" and "Ark" were very good.

Its popularity has exceeded all expectations.
