In general, Ren Jiafu's worries are not unreasonable. Indeed, from a game perspective, the unclear monetization point of the game "Epic of Life" will inevitably cast a shadow over the future.
For this reason, the Ghost Hunting Company actually went the wrong way and used other ingenious methods to at least ensure that this game can continue to operate.
That is, this game adopts an "hourly system", that is, it is not played for free but by purchasing point cards to unlock play time. This is a very old game consumption model that is now rare.
Then, through the relationship between the company's big boss Hua Jingquan, the authorities and the education department were contacted, so that "The Epic of Life" became an educational project.
That is, in order to increase contemporary students' understanding of the growth of paleontology, some qualified schools will purchase this game as an elective in biology-related courses.
This can be said to be a huge amount of income. Although these incomes cannot flow in a steady stream, the stability is what makes this project successful, at least for now.
Of course, this information will not be announced on the forum for the time being. After all, using this method to achieve project profitability seems to be going the wrong way no matter how you look at it.
During the Spring Festival of 2106, Qingyu was mainly busy with this matter. Then as the Spring Festival holiday ended, the time came to March of 2106.
Because in December last year, Dai Wenguan had just divided Qingyu into several major studios, so he immediately held a plenary meeting after the holiday to observe the recent operation of the four major studios.
To be honest, the current situation is not very good. It is not that there is something wrong with the project at hand, but that everything is currently in an awkward situation of being in limbo, that is, the old game has been developed and the new game is in the process of development.
Shihai Company, the earliest established among the four major studios, completed the "Land Abandoned by Gods" project in June last year and started developing a new project in September, "Red and Blue Star" derived from the original world of "Wind Fantasy" .
The Ghost Hunting Company is gradually transferring the company's manpower from "Ghost Hunter", where the situation has been basically stable, to the development of "Epic of Life".
Since Taiji released "Hongmeng End" last year, it is currently developing the game's first DLC "Earth Queen Earth".
The role of "Queen of the Earth" in the game is just like the "Jidu Rahu" in "Hongmeng Shi: Three Tribes War in Ancient Times", which is to further supplement the world view of the entire game.
It was mentioned in the biography of "The End of Hongmeng" that Pangu left three corpses after the creation of the world, two of which were taken away by Emperor Jun and Taiyi, creating Emperor Jun of Heaven and Emperor Taiyi of East.
The specific whereabouts of the last three corpses were not given in this biography, but before the release of this dlc, some players on the forum guessed the answer.
The last three corpses were probably given to Tu Wu Hou Tu. After all, it is not difficult to come to this conclusion whether it is based on the performance in the game or simply historical information.
Looking at the twelve ancestral witches and even the entire demon clan in the game, Houtu is the only one who has great ambitions and wants to give the world's soul a home.
Apart from Hou Tu, the only one who barely reaches the border is the demon master Kunpeng. However, his great ambition is to make the demon clan the eternal ruler of the world. The gap between the two sides' realms can be seen at a glance.
The historical information comes from the lofty status of Hou Tu during the Han Dynasty. Let's put it this way. In Sima Qian's "Historical Records: Fengchan Shu", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty specifically went to worship two gods when he traveled, namely Taiyi and Taiyi. Houtu.
Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that the being with great ambition and perseverance repeatedly mentioned in this article should be the Tu Wu Queen Tu of this Wu clan.
Among the three major direct subsidiaries under Dai Wenguan, Taiji Company was the first to complete the project at hand. The "Queen of the Earth" dlc was released the next month.
As mentioned before, the DLC "Queen of the Earth" has the same meaning to "The End of Hongmeng" as "Ji Du Luohu" does to "The Beginning of Hongmeng".
As if to achieve some kind of correspondence, the openings of the two DLCs are also very similar, that is, they open up camps that cannot be experienced in this article for players to play.
In the beginning of the "Jidu Rahu" dlc, players can experience the chaotic creatures that cannot be played in this article. The open camp in "Queen of the Earth" is the Witch Clan.
The Witch Clan is just like the Chaos Demon God in the past. It is a very malleable existence. Therefore, when players just start playing the DLC, they will find that the characters they control are just ordinary Witch Clan without names.
This is because the Witch Clan is extremely malleable, so it doesn’t matter who the Witch Clan you play initially is. Which Witch Clan can survive until the second half of the game, they will become the corresponding characters in this chapter.
Just like in "Jidu Rahu", all players play as chaotic creatures at the beginning, and only the one who survives to the end will be Jidu.
When the game's screen changes from darkness to light, what greets the player is an extremely impactful scene, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood paved by countless giant beasts.
This allowed players to quickly lock in the time of the opening of "Earth Queen Earth", because so many giant beast corpses have only appeared once in the Hongmeng series.
That was the time when Hongjun launched the "Three Tribes Catastrophe" to slaughter the giant beasts in the world. After killing the giant beasts, Hongjun moved all their corpses to the top of Buzhou Mountain, thus forming the scene before him.
Obviously the scene in front of me was formed because of this, so it seems that this DLC adopts a flashback method to connect the plots of "The Beginning of the Hongmeng" and "The End of the Hongmeng".
Of course, because this picture has considerable impact, for the sake of a harmonious society and the physical and mental health of minors, if the player is underage, the corpse of the giant beast here will turn into jelly.
However, this also caused some other consequences, that is, some adult players who specifically watched the perspective of underage players avoided Jelly for a period of time.
In short, the game opens with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and as the camera moves in the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, it quickly moves to Hongjun's figure standing high in the sky.
After all, because of the inheritance of game archives, those players who have played since "Hongmeng Beginning" can always quickly tell at a glance that it is Hongjun who they fabricated.
As Hongjun, who was floating in the sky, cast a spell, a mysterious and mysterious gas soon floated out from the cracks in Buzhou Mountain caused by the war between the three clans, and then slowly but surely enveloped the entire sea of corpses.
That mysterious and mysterious gas is the source of the Witch Clan. With the combination of the gas and the body's spirit and flesh, the original Witch Clan was born in this world.
