Chapter 20 "Epoch" 1
Juan is still the first non-42 internal employee to play "The Age of Chaos".
There is an unwritten rule within Wanda. If it is not for those 3A masterpieces or platforms that require several editors to be responsible for at the same time, the subsequent works of a certain R&D company will be assigned to their initial editors for review and evaluation.
Because they know the style, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of that company better, and can give more accurate evaluations.
As for whether there will be fan filters, these editors have received professional training. No matter how much they like the company, they will be realistic.
Usually, an editor will not take more than two hours to review a game. Just make some general understanding. If you have to click on content that exceeds your own level for seven or eight hours, there is nothing you can do. After discovering it later, the platform will naturally have punitive measures.
But Juan reserved a whole afternoon for "The Age of Chaos" today, and other work contents were completed in advance, depending on the situation. Anyway, his wife also got a vaccination in advance and agreed that she might have to go back late tonight.
This time, besides Fat Derek, there were two other colleagues behind Juan, who were watching, and the three were waiting for him to run the game.
Juan looked back and spread his hands and said, "Don't you have to work?"
At this time, another person came over with a chair, with potato chips and coke piled on it, and distributed it.
Four people surrounded Juan like stars holding the moon.
Juan was also helpless, shook his head and rubbed his hands, and then clicked on the game.
It’s still the familiar logo, “42 Studio”. God knows how many times these people have watched in the past three months. The total game time of "Wujian" with their own private accounts has exceeded 400 hours.
This time you can choose your own image, which can simply match your hairstyle, hair color, skin color, face shape and body.
Juan followed his heart, customized a convex and convex blonde that matched his aesthetic, and named her Thalia, his favorite Spanish female singer.
The difficulty was difficult, not because he thought, but mainly because there were a few people behind him staring at him, so I was really embarrassed to choose the difficulty of leisure.

Finally the game scene appeared before him. Talia woke up from a dormant compartment. In front of her was an empty plain, covered with gymnos and ferns, and several towering trees were probably cycads and ginkgo. At first glance, it made people feel that this was definitely in a very old era.
With a very detailed setting, Juan happened to be able to roughly distinguish these plants, but he knew that even players who do not have this kind of knowledge could also feel a sense of wildness at the first time.
Talia walked and jumped, and began to become familiar with the basic operations of this world.
In "In the World", forty-two uses multiple scrolls, with a total of three layers of the foreground where the character is located, the hell of the vision and the crimson sky in the background.
It reflects the sense of perspective in art.
As a professional reviewer, Juan and others can pay attention to these details that ordinary players cannot feel or feel.
And now he found that the group of lunatics were even more terrifying. What were they thinking?
In this first scene, Juan roughly counted the cliffs and hills at the far end, and at least made six or seven floors.
He can guarantee that among so many games he has seen, no project team has ever done this!
Each raised line in the distant plain is an independent layer. Not only does it move at different speeds as it moves, but what is even more terrifying is that when Talia jumps or climbs to a high place, the distance between each layer increases, just like the common sense that everyone knows, the higher the stand, the further he sees, and he can see more content from afar!
Just as the player enters the first scene of the game, Forty-two uses a completely 2D picture to achieve an almost three-dimensional effect of a 3D game.
No matter what players are, casual and professional, art is their first sense of the game.
But this first side is really a bit too amazing.
Juan also looked back at the four colleagues. They obviously understood the low-key gorgeousness in this, looking at each other in disbelief.
Who are the people in Forty-Twoli?
Juan let out a breath and continued to take Talia to explore this mysterious world.
He has watched the real-time operation demonstration video, and there is also a tip box for novice users in the lower left corner of the interface to guide him what to do next.
He began to collect resources, dig the dredge with a hoe, log wood with an axe, and opened the production interface and found several initial tools that could be made. The torch was at the front and the materials were the simplest. He was only a few coal mines, so he searched for coal mines everywhere.
Obviously, this is also guiding players through the interface. The content that players should produce in advance will be placed at the top of the interface.
Forty-two puts the torch prop in a very important position, because fire is the origin of civilization.
Finally Talia successfully made the torch. At this time, the sun was already sunny and the light began to gradually dim, and the visibility also decreased.
The background music of the game has also changed, from the original soothing and melodious to become a little tighter and full of tension. This is a reminder to the players, and the danger is approaching.
It seemed that the sound of some creatures came from afar.
No monster has appeared yet, but the game has rendered the atmosphere through the graphics and music.
Games are a kind of sensory art, and obviously forty-two are well aware of this.
Juan was a little nervous, he didn't know what he would face.
The most important thing is that he still only has pickaxes and axes. He was originally a production tool, but he could also be used as a weapon, but his attack power was too low.
I just encountered several slimes while digging coal, which made him feel extremely headache. In the difficulty, I ate several wild fruits that fell from logging to recover before I survived.
The night finally came, and now the entire planet only has the light of the fire source in Talia's hands, which can give Juan some confidence to survive this night.
He now knows that the first and most important goal of this game is to survive.
This is an extremely smart approach. According to human instinct, survival is their first need.
The Maslow Pyramid explains this clearly, and only after that will consider respect, belonging, aesthetics, cognition and self-realization.
Taking survival as the initial goal will undoubtedly improve the player's sense of substitution.
But I was so desperate that I could not die. A lightning flashed in the distance, and about a second later, the thunder roared.
Juan had no idea at this time that Forty-two had done the physics details that "light travels faster than sound". He wanted to grab his hair, although not much.
Because accompanied by thunder, the rain fell from the air, and the only source of fire that Talia could survive was extinguished.
This is actually not a fixed setting. The weather is controlled by the algorithm and there are random factors. However, Juan is really unlucky and encountered a rainy night on the first night.
The whole world returns to dark silence.
Although it is not completely black and the monitor is turned off, players will not be able to play, but the light is very dark.
But it's still terrifying, especially the sound of the more and more loaded with the sound of the rain and the footsteps of the monsters in the BGM.
In the darkness, Juan saw a monster like a fishman crawling towards his Talia from a distance.
From both front and back.
This is also a exclusive creature on rainy days. Usually they will hardly come to the surface.
The fishmen had red light in their eyes, sharp teeth grew on their mouths, and crawled with webbed limbs...
Juan showed his determination to fight back.
Damn, how can you die in such a place!
About ten seconds later.
Talia died for the first time in the 0000th year of Chaos Era, on the evening of the 1st.
Chapter completed!
