Collapse? No, this is daily

Just one day before the release, the press release purchased by Nangong Yu had already been widely circulated in the gaming news.

'The new work of the author of "To the Moon" is about to be released. Can "Hollow Knight" achieve the same success?'

'A new designer challenges a new subject for the first time. Is it a success or a failure?'

'I did a frame-by-frame analysis of the Hollow Knight trailer, and there were so many surprises in this game.'

If you go to the website, you will find that most of the posts are discussing "Hollow Knight". The popularity is very high, with some people optimistic about it, some pessimistic about it, and some indifferent.

There is no way. He can't be like some old thieves in his previous life who can create huge waves in the gaming circle with just a name.

In order for the game to achieve better results, there is no need to hesitate when it comes to publicity and promotion.

Relying on this financial ability, "Hollow Knight" gained a huge amount of attention at once, and the game was launched on the Titan game platform on time at 48 o'clock in the morning, priced at game points, with a % discount in the first week.

As the official live broadcast room of Gensokyo Company, Xilin naturally downloaded the game as soon as possible.

Because of her proximity to the water, Sirin can always get first-hand information about the Gensokyo Company. Moreover, because of "To the Moon", the audience in the live broadcast room have a good impression of this company and are naturally looking forward to it.

Taking advantage of the Saturday break, Xilin plans to have a great day.

The live broadcast room was opened early. After being irritated by the "Miss Pufferfish" that filled the screen, Xilin took a deep breath and decided not to bother with these bastards.

In the corner of the screen of her live broadcast room, on the table covered by the camera, there is a photo of her and Ellie when they were in Europe, with Ellie's autograph and blessings written on it.

At first, Xilin boasted about it for a long time, and was secretly happy looking at the jealous audience. Some fans wanted to buy it at a high price, but Xilin refused without a second thought. This was a photo of her and her idol, how could she sell it!

Of course, everyone in the photo was wearing normal clothes, and Xilin had no intention of giving benefits to these indecent viewers.

“Hollow Knight is out today, so let’s try it out.”

【Please serve it quickly, I can’t wait! 】

Comments like these kept scrolling, causing Xilin to wave her hands at the camera again and again: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's already downloaded and is being installed."

Watching the live broadcast room's gradually increasing popularity, Xilin secretly rejoiced. She didn't expect that just wanting to help a friend would actually bring her more benefits. In the past six months, her number of fans has almost doubled.

Soon, the game was installed, and she couldn't wait to open the game, which had already raised her expectations to the maximum.

Then, a dark and deep interface occupied her main screen. The four fluorescent characters "Hollow Knight" appeared at the top of the screen, standing in stark contrast to the darkness of the background. In the lower right corner was a pattern of a red and white yin and yang jade that was constantly rotating, representing Gensokyo Company.

Soothing background music also slowly sounded at this moment, and the soft piano sound seemed to be presenting some unspeakable past to everyone.

“Sure enough, the music is still of first-class standard.”

Not only Xilin, the barrage also expressed praise. At the beginning, the atmosphere has been created for you.

After listening for a while, Xilin pressed the 'Start Game' button under the constant urging of the audience.

The picture gradually faded away, and in the pitch-black background, a faint fluorescence appeared, accompanied by lines of handwriting that gradually emerged.

'In the distant wilderness, they all mention your name with awe and regret.

No one could tame our wild souls, and you accepted the challenge.

Under the palest gaze, you taught, we changed, instincts were redeemed

You brought a world to the bugs and beasts that they never dreamed of.

————From "Elegy for Hallownest", written by Teacher Monomon.'

"I hate the Riddler."

As Xilin made a complaint, she saw the opening CG appear on the screen.

Amid the whirring and chaotic noise, dust was scattered in the dilapidated gray and black world. Chains from bottom to top hung the bound objects high up. Suddenly, a bright light illuminated the pupils, and cracks appeared on the bound bodies.

But soon, the seal was restarted and the gold color went out again.

Then, the scene changed and the tone of the background music changed accordingly.

Next to a strange snail-shaped building, a little man who looked like a beetle, wearing a cloak and with a white head, looked extremely cute, slowly walked down the stairs in the distance.

Then, a snail-shaped street lamp flashed by, and the line of sight was drawn towards the little man.

There are two big black, swirling eyes on the little white head, and you can't see clearly inside. He has a cracked bone nail on his back, and the cloak behind him is also tattered, looking like a man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life and traveled for a long time.

When the picture lengthened again, the little knight was already standing on the edge of a cliff where cold wind was howling. He raised his head and silently looked at the only light in the darkness in the distance.

The scattered starlight along the way was like signposts guiding him forward.

Then he leaped off the cliff.

The game begins here.

"Let me see what's going on."

Talking to herself, Xilin began to explore various operations on the flat ground.

Move left and right, jump, slash, and more...

"That's it?"

Isn't that a bit too little for an action game? However, the knight's movements are quite smooth.

Muttering to herself, Xilin controlled the character and began to walk to the right.

Soon, an obstacle appeared in front of her, and Xilin subconsciously swung her knife.

With a snap, the obstacle instantly shattered into pieces and turned into small stones on the ground.

"Wait, this feeling?"

Frowning and swinging his sword twice in the air, Xilin saw another obstacle not far away and immediately controlled the little knight to run over.

Then, swing the knife.

Snapped.

The barrier shattered again.

"Hiss~ This feels a little too good."

The knight's smooth movements and the light and sound effects of hitting objects with the sword combine together to create a very outstanding feel.

This is what Nangong Yu and Bronya have been researching from the beginning, and have been optimizing it until the game is completed. It can be said that it is several levels stronger than the original in Nangong Yu's mind.

Most players know how important the feel is for action games.

With anticipation, Xilin encountered the first monster.

It was a cute little beetle crawling towards her.

Without saying a word, Xilin chopped again, and with two clangs, she chopped the little beetle down.

Compared to obstacles, the monster's equally smooth attack action combined with the knight's attack action makes the feel even better.

"This game is quite enjoyable."

As she spoke, Xilin killed several more monsters in succession. Her confidence suddenly increased, and she proudly said to the audience: "The designer told me before that this game is a bit challenging, but now it doesn't seem difficult. Look, I can clear it with one life!"

Chapter 69: Kill, kill, kill!

"This initial map should have been made by Bronya."

There is no verbal prompt at all, but through a series of simple and clever level designs, players can understand some basic or extended operations, and you can vaguely see the shadow of the previous Alahato.

After jumping onto several raised platforms in succession and killing several buzzing bugs with the sword in mid-air, Sirin had an almost unimpeded journey. She even narrowly avoided a small trap set by Bronya - a small bug that suddenly appeared at the point where the little knight jumped.

Xilin almost got furious because of the small monster's health loss, so she turned around and chopped the small bug down with two swords.

"Just like this, you still want to sneak attack my lady Xilin?!"

An extremely smug expression appeared on her face and she began to utter sarcasm. It was obvious that she was a little inflated.

Soon, a patch of spikes on the ground blocked Xilin's way. After trying several times, Xilin found that she couldn't reach the other side by jumping alone. Everyone opened their eyes wide and put their hands on the keyboard to watch the pufferfish's joke. Unexpectedly, Xilin glanced at the barrage with disdain and said confidently: "Ha, don't underestimate my dozens of times of research on the promotional video!!!"

Having said that, Xilin jumped again without hesitation, and then slashed down quickly when the knight was about to land on the spikes.

There was only a crisp sound of ding.

The little knight's body flew up directly with the reaction force of the bone nails and spikes. Then, a series of ding ding ding sounds were heard, and Xilin controlled the little knight to reach the other side very smoothly.

"This is technology, understand?"

The corners of his mouth were raised, showing the demeanor of a master.

[It's broken, she installed it. 】

[Tsk, how come it’s over? I came here to see this? ]

[Tsk, it's so hard to pass a novice level. ]

......

Without paying any attention to the negative and positive comments in the comments, Xilin was filled with pride and completely inflated.

She controlled the little knight forward and soon split open a stone gate. Bright light shone on the little knight, and she also passed through the gate and came to a declining town called Dirtmouth.

The only insect elder in the town welcomed the arrival of the little knight and told him the background story of this world just like the village chief of the novice village in every RPG game.

"The prosperous insect dynasty, unknown changes, the disappearance of insect people, the breath of madness, the satisfaction of desires, the tomb, and the seal in the initial CG..."

While watching the plot attentively, Xilin extracted what she thought was the key information. Her meticulous look made the audience feel a little expectant.

Could it be possible that Xilin could really see something in such a short time?

Letting the little knight sit on the amulet chair and ignoring the pop-up interface, Xilin frowned and closed her eyes. She opened them dozens of seconds later and looked at the screen seriously.

Just when everyone thought Xilin would have some brilliant ideas, a somewhat annoyed voice sounded: "What is this Riddler plot? I don't understand it."

[I don't understand why you are pretending to be a bull demon!! ]

[I thought the pufferfish had become smarter, but I was overthinking it.]

......

"Tsk."

Smacking her lips in dissatisfaction, Xilin closed the empty amulet interface and ran directly to the right. Soon, she fell from a vertical well into a new map called "Forgotten Crossroads".

"Although I don't know what the plot of this game is about, and what I should do next, but!"

Xilin's face turned serious, she picked up the bone nail and rushed towards the monster that appeared on the map.

"All I know is that I'm going to go on a killing spree!!!"

Kill the little stinging insect!

Kill the little beetle!

Kill the little flying insect!

Unicorn beetle, kill!

Heaven created all things and insects, but insects have nothing and heaven has nothing. Kill kill kill kill kill kill!

Kill the monsters! Kill the obstacles! Kill the small bosses!

Even the sharp spikes that passed by would be hit by two bone nails.

The crisp sound of "ding ding ding" continued, and one "orange juice" after another exploded on the screen.

What Hallownest, what kingdom? As long as I, the little knight, kill everyone here, all the problems will no longer be a problem!

But as the killing went on, Xilin suddenly froze.

She looked at the map in front of her, which seemed to have been walked through before, and asked doubtfully: "Have you walked through this place just now?"

I subconsciously looked to the upper left corner, but found that there was nothing there.

It was at this moment that she realized that this game seemed to have no minimap.

bug?

No, with the level of these two people, there would not be such an obvious mistake, so is it a feature of the game?

Was the minimap deleted in order to deepen the exploration element?

As she thought about it, Xilin simply gave up thinking.

Why bother with so much? As long as she can chop all the movable objects on the map into orange juice, she will find the way forward sooner or later!

Keep killing!!

Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room praised Miss Puffer for being not only brainless but also having small breasts.
