Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 204 Master Difficulty and Terra Construction Competition

It has been almost a month or so since the release of Terraria.

With the continuous fermentation of word-of-mouth, the sales of the game also quickly exceeded the 300 million mark, and are still climbing towards higher sales.

Moreover, because of the super high degree of freedom that comes with the sandbox game itself.

This leads to Terraria's extremely high replay value.

Just a few days ago, among all the games that are currently online on Steam, the record for the number of people online at the same time has reached a huge 20!

This is undoubtedly a rather scary number.

And Er Xiao also completed the challenge of the classic mode with Xiao Shisan, and took a group of better water friends in the small group, together with six people, to go on the journey of pioneering the wasteland of the most difficult master mode.

This second play is completely different from the first play.

Just entering the game, everyone has already completed a clear division of labor.

Lao Lu, Chang Wan, Xiao Shisan, and Wu Shengtui, who had a relatively high level of game skills, split into two groups and explored the world on both sides.

When I saw good things like mushrooms, sunflowers, and death grass on the road, I took them by the way.

And Goudan, who compares colored pencils, is Er Xiao, an honest NPC supervisor who repairs at home... a mansion!
The other is a hard-working dug out of the Hell Express.

After quickly completing the first wave of primitive accumulation by smashing cans, exploring caves, etc., the arrival of merchants and bomb dealers made the game quickly enter the fast lane.

Many rabbits turned into stewed rabbits, and made outstanding contributions to the economic strain of this six-member team amidst the "cooking saint" of the water friends.

"It's unreasonable that these monsters have high attack power on the master difficulty. The classic difficulty will only scratch me a dozen times. Now I touch half of my health."

"The water in the snow now has a new cold special effect, and it will slow down after walking in."

"Be careful, after we go to the rotten place to blow up the shadow ball and get the guns, we can try to challenge Keyan."

While everyone was discussing fiercely how to play the game next, the hard-working student Er Xiao was still waving the manuscript to dig through trains.

Build a BOSS fighting venue, search the world for accessories that improve mobility, go underground to dig a lot of iron ore, and make medicine...

It has to be said that although the six people have improved the efficiency of the game, it has brought about an obvious problem that the resources are a bit insufficient.

Mainly it's a matter of accessories.The normal difficulty is fine, but if you don't have a pair of running shoes and a claw in this master mode, it would be too difficult to beat the eye.

That is to say, both the burst rate and the drop of money in the master mode have been greatly improved, otherwise it is really not easy to handle.

The whole process of fighting the boss is just a few bosses with good skills who output six times their blood crazily.

"Tell me about you, Er Xiao, what's the use of you?"

Goudan frantically jumped up and down on the platform, while looking at Er Xiao's tombstone and taunting him, but in the next second, he was killed by Ke Yan, who was sprinting extremely fast at the stage transition.

"How is you better than me?"

Er Xiao replied without hesitation.

"Stop talking, the two colored pens, hurry up and resurrect, we won't be able to stand it anymore!"

The live broadcast room is filled with a happy atmosphere.

After quickly finishing the Goblin Invasion incident, the lucky Er Xiao successfully found the biggest profiteer in the game—the Goblin Merchant underground.

Anyone who understands the astronomical amount of gold coins required for recasting.

After successfully harvesting a large number of spiked balls from this place, although the AI ​​of the master mode boss has been greatly adjusted, under the crazy relay running of several people, the black long straight world devourer was killed by everyone Down.

The equipment is updated, and the progress of the game is gradually accelerated.

The paving of the world's railway tracks, the exploration of empty islands, and the great development of the world.

Fishing, growing vegetables, and flying kites.

Defeated the Queen Bee, tortured Skeletron, and the almost-forgotten slime.

The entire Terraria early stage process takes the longest time.

The last boss, the Wall of Flesh, commonly known as Roshan, is also the switch of the difficult mode in the whole world.

The world of Terra before defeating Flesh and Flesh, and the world after that are completely different difficulties and concepts.

It is also called "before the meat" and "after the meat" by countless players.

I don't know how many players there were at that time, but they thought that after the Wall of Flesh, they successfully cleared the game.

As a result, after returning home wearing a prison rock suit and being severely tortured by powerful monsters from all over the world, the panic and surprise.

In order to successfully pass the initial dangerous period after the meat, the six people did a lot of preparatory work before the meat.

It was not until it was ensured that the Queen of Flesh could pass through the dangerous period immediately that Ji Dao was sacrificed cruelly, and the Wall of Flesh was successfully summoned.

"Eat me with a bee grenade!"

Er Xiao was complacent while running on the hell platform.

No technology is needed, as long as the platform is built long enough, and then throwing bee grenades behind him continuously, it's too simple.

"What kind of random killing group, Er Xiao is complicated, and the others are responsible for the random killing."

"I still remember the tragic start of Er Xiao's brutal killing by the flesh queen monster after the classic difficulty."

After defeating the Wall of Flesh and releasing the ancient Soul of Light and Darkness, the game will officially enter the late stage.

In the late Terra world, a lot of fun of exploration was lost.

Your next task is to follow the process of the New Three Kings, Plantera, Golem, Cultists, Four Pillars, and Moon Lord.

Defeat all the bosses one by one, and the journey of the game is over.

People with good skills will also defeat the Duke of Pig Shark,

Of course, in the process, you will also experience events such as pirate invasions and solar eclipses.

In general, the journey of Terraria is interesting and wonderful, especially when you are with friends.

Seeing that the six finally successfully defeated the Moon Lord and officially announced the end of the Flower Sprinkling, many water friends were quite reluctant to part.

"Actually, I'm quite envious of Er Xiao and the six of them being able to get together and play games happily.

The friends who used to play games with me all have their own work and life, and now they have less contact with each other, hey. "

"Who says it's not? Seeing Er Xiao and the six of them together, cooperating with each other, cheating on each other, it's like returning to my childhood."

"Some games sell for 300 yuan to play for 36 hours, and some games sell for 36 yuan to play for [-] hours."

"Three hundred hours? One thousand hours!"

It is also amidst countless players' sighs about the passage of time and the disappearance of the happy times in the past. On July 7th, Chuxin jointly held the first event after the launch of Terraria.

[Terra Architecture Competition]
put up.

As an important part of the entire Terraria gameplay.

Although the vast majority of players can only build dwellings like matchboxes, in the hands of very few folk gods.

Those unremarkable pixel blocks can be constructed into shocking and wonderful works of art.

In this year's architectural competition, the creators of the buildings need to find the small sticky notes related to #泰拉建筑大赛#, and then choose to finish uploading.

In the first round of audition, Xiaopozhan will put these videos on the homepage of users who have searched for Terraria based on the big data algorithm.

The number of views, the number of likes, and the number of coins.

All can become important factors affecting whether a work can be promoted.

After selecting works with an uncertain number of top data, it will enter the second round of voting.

At that time, Xiaopozhan will release a separate interface about the "Terra Construction Competition" on the official homepage.

All viewers can see the overall preview of the building and the corresponding video portal on this page, and they can freely choose their favorite works to vote for.

The bonus for No.1 is [-], and you can also get a free three-day tour of Chuxin Headquarters. In addition, there are a lot of gifts and peripherals.

No.2 3, No.[-] [-]...

In addition, this event has also been organized in Europe and the United States, which is operated separately from domestic ones.

As soon as this news came out, it naturally caused a carnival in the Terra circle.

Originally, many architectural masters created those beautiful buildings only because of their hobbies.

Now hobbies can actually make money, and now a great enthusiasm for creation has exploded.

Classical, fairy tale, magical...

Correspondingly, as buildings of various styles were uploaded to Xiaopozhan, it won the favor of the majority of Terra players.

Because the bonuses were too generous, more and more players, even non-players, began to join the carnival.

Even teaching videos such as "Teach you how to build a beautiful house in Terraria step by step" have begun to gain a lot of popularity.

Although most players also know that the award at the head must be the private land of the construction boss, but what if?
At this time, the Xianyu player exchange group.

Er Xiao: "You son of a bitch, you want to participate? Your prison doesn't even understand why you are here to join in the fun?"

Goudan: "No, I can learn."

Chang Wan: "Good! Very energetic! I support you, son of a bitch!"

Goudan: "It's useless for you to support me verbally. Hurry up and support me in action. The thing I'm going to make is relatively large, and it must be too busy for one person."

Mirror Wusheng tweeted: "I didn't even learn how to crawl, so I just wanted to run? Get an advanced version of the matchbox that you can see before you say such things."

Goudan didn't come to the group today to make a fool of himself.

He immediately shared what he was going to do with the big guys in the group.

Mirror Wusheng tweeted: "Count me in."

Chang Wan: "Just wait, I'll learn now."

Old Lu: "Count me in too."

Er Xiao hesitated for a while, and finally said weakly in the group:

"Count me in, but when you upload, don't add my name."

It is still quite difficult for a few half-baked people to learn the video and start from scratch.

But there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart, Goudan also specially hired a professional composition artist to help with the design.

Soon, as the prototype of the building to be built has been outlined, this building can be regarded as formally entered the formal.

As the time comes to August.

Goudan successfully uploaded the video before the registration deadline.

In fact, this kind of behavior is to suffer.

The earlier someone else uploads, the more people will see it, and the greater the possibility of being shortlisted.

But the evening pass also has an advantage, that is, creators can have more events to refine their works.

Therefore, the peak period for video uploads is actually in the middle of July.

With the end of the first round of auditions, a total of 66 works have been left on the main page, and Goudan's architecture is among them.

And as a fan of Chuxin, Er Xiao naturally couldn't miss such a grand occasion.

With the start of voting, it was also the beginning of the broadcast that pulled a group of water friends in the live broadcast room to start watching the works of these architectural masters.

"Facing the front line of the 'Terra Construction Contest', well, let's see the operation of the construction masters... Fuck!"

The first work that came into view first made all the players in the live broadcast room, including Er Xiao, exclaim in surprise.

As far as the main structure of the house is concerned, it looks like a straight boot.

The elongated interior is divided into small rooms of different sizes, and the whole looks like multiple matchboxes stacked together, there is nothing special about it.

What really makes people exclaim is the huge undead bone dragon behind the main building.

Frost torches, as well as the use of various wall coverings and circuit blurring, can be called superb.

"Tuigui, this is too handsome!"

"Actually, I think the matchbox is pretty good too."

Everyone was completely shocked by the unconstrained design ideas and hands-on ability of these big guys.

Continue to browse down, such as the Moon Tree, Yan Guolong, and the super-realistic giant spaceship, which also left a deep impression on everyone.

Of course, players have different preferences.

Some people focus on details, some people focus on design, and some people think that big is beautiful, and more is better.

However, when Er Xiao's mouse opened the work uploaded by Goudan, everyone in the live broadcast room was silent for a while.

An extremely huge boot, it is impossible to see what it is in the game.

But when Goudan opened the mini-map, with the zoom of the world, he finally saw the blurred appearance of this building.

It is a dark elf, the protagonist in Mirror, and the pixel depiction on the chest is even more important.

Pull your hands wide open.

Letter:

"Mr. Luo! It's time for Mirror's DLC!"

"Okay! This is good! Vote up and let Mr. Luo see it."

"Indeed, every year, the various games that Chuxin created are constantly engaging in activities.

Some have DLC, some speedrunning competitions, and some construction competitions. Could it be that our mirror was raised by a stepmother?

Angry! "

"Mr. Luo! You have no heart! Brothers have been fooled by you for so long, don't you plan to give me a solution?"

three days later.

Seeing a video with a sharp increase in the number of votes, Luo Bai wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his brow.

"It's a big score, who will bring up the old account again?"

Immediately decided to quickly release the news that the Chuxin Game Festival will be held in October to distract everyone's attention.
