A few months before the official release of "The Forsaken Land", Shihai Studio began to release promotional videos to introduce the background settings of the game to the world.
After all, although in Zhong Shanze's original world, "Lord of Mysteries" has an unshakable position in the online literary world, no one really knows about this world.
Therefore, it is necessary to release some promotional videos in advance to conquer those who are interested in the game through the grand world view of "Lord of Mysteries".
Generally speaking, players who like to play strategy games will be more likely to be immersed in the background settings, so a complete world view plan will help attract players' attention.
Ge Zhaodu is a player who likes strategy games, and he was Dai Wenguan's old senior, so he naturally wants to support his junior's game works.
In particular, Dai Wenquan has finally returned to his original intention, and is no longer playing games like "Ghost Hunter" or "Hongmeng Begins", which are extremely challenging action skills.
Ge Zhaodu always remembered that in order to support his juniors and because he was really interested in holograms, he had to play those games. As a result, many of them became widely circulated laughing stock.
Now more than three years have passed since Ge Zhaodu graduated. At first, because of his busy work after graduation, he once had the idea of quitting the video industry.
But fortunately, everything is over, and now Ge Zhaodu can find a suitable balance between live broadcast and work and life.
Therefore, he can be regarded as a small and influential video host. After Shi Hai released "The Abandoned Land", he became one of the first wave of players to come into contact with this game.
But Ge Zhaodu's live broadcast style has always been more operational-referring to strategy games. Everyone knows Ge Zhaodu's action skills.
So I didn’t start playing the game immediately. Instead, I played several games in private and became familiar with the game operations of “The Forsaken Land” before I started my own game live broadcast.
When you log into "The Forsaken Land" for the first time, the CG animation will be automatically played to the players. If you want to watch it again later, you can adjust it in the system settings.
Although Ge Zhaodu has not only seen it, he has also studied it many times and participated in discussions on the forum, hoping to dig out some information from these CGs.
However, considering that many viewers may have never played this game, Ge Zhaodu showed the opening CG to his viewers when he started the live broadcast.
Because this opening CG is also responsible for introducing the background of the world, players who have not seen the trailer will have their first impression of "The Forsaken Land" from this opening CG.
Under the gloomy black sky, a group of people sat around the fire, listening to the elders with white hair and beards telling ancient stories of the past.
The little bonfires supported the meager light and gave these poor people the only bit of shelter. The children could sleep peacefully under the firelight.
"The Creator created our world and everything we have. The heaven and earth are his body, and all living creatures are his consciousness."
"However, after creating the world, the Creator fell into a deep sleep. Evil creatures stole his authority and created endless chaos and war, which almost tore our world apart."
This news has already been known to players in previous trailers. Some people think it is like a dark version of Pangu Kaitian, but others think it is more similar to Norse mythology.
Compared with "Twilight of the Gods", whose name sounds very embarrassing, the creation of Nordic mythology is not so embarrassing. This group of people refers to the creation in Nordic mythology.
Creation in Norse mythology is also related to giants, but they did not create the world, but the real world was born from the corpses of giants.
For example, everyone is familiar with the elves and dwarves. The former are maggots on the giant's corpse that are illuminated by the light, while the latter are not illuminated.
In the forum, Ge Zhaodu supported the view that favors Nordic mythology: "It's not because I admire foreign things. My judgment comes from the tone."
"In Pangu legend, after the creation of the world, he stood upright, even if his body died, he would be replaced by all things in the world. That is a vigorous and upward spirit."
"But the creation of the world in Nordic mythology came from the three Odin brothers killing Ymir, the ancestor of the giants, and using his body to build the world."
"The gods have known from the beginning that dusk will eventually come. This world born from Ymir's corpse generally gives people a dark and gloomy feeling."
"Judging from the information currently revealed in "The Forsaken Land", the tone of the entire atmosphere is one of desperate struggle for survival, which is obviously more in line with the tone of Norse mythology."
These were arguments Ge Zhaodu had on the forum a long time ago, but his attention quickly returned and he continued to watch the video with the audience.
"Fortunately, the Creator was able to return again, and the dazzling sun rose from the east. Under the encirclement and suppression of the angel army, all the evil ancient gods were wiped out, and mankind ushered in a glorious and beautiful era."
When the old man excitedly told this colorful history, the silhouettes of the ancient sun god and his eight archangels appeared in the picture.
Under these radiant figures, all dark and strange creatures are invisible. The picture shows a peaceful human town.
But if things had always been like this, this game wouldn't be called "The Forsaken Land". As expected, the old man soon changed the subject, and the tone of the picture began to become gloomy and desperate.
"The good days ended on that day. The archangels betrayed the Creator, and the world was torn apart by the battle. To this day, we have never seen the sun again."
With the desolate words of the old man, it was announced that the opening animation CG was completely over, and at the same time the title screen of "The Land Abandoned by God" was entered.
In the title interface, there are still the same old "start a new game", "load save", "game settings" and "exit game", etc., but the atmosphere of the game scene is very eye-catching.
The dynamic background shows a wilderness shrouded in darkness. Bright lightning flashes across the sky from time to time, but no sound is made.
With the light produced when lightning breaks through, players can clearly see that this wilderness is divided into two completely different areas.
On the right is a city where humans gather. The bright lights can be barely recognized even in the dark.
To the left is a completely dark wilderness, which can be seen every time lightning appears. All kinds of weird monsters seem to be wandering there, making frightening roars.
Light and darkness, civilization and wilderness, safety and danger, are like a natural chasm separating the two sides. Ge Zhaodu knows that he is going to lead this group of humans to survive in the era after the death of the Creator.
