They felt like they had opened the door to a new world!
—It turns out that it's best not to use blocking against this boss; dodging is simpler, but you have to time it right.
—What? The BOSS can be skipped first, and then fought after getting stronger equipment?
—What? When the BOSS performs a three-hit combo from the front, his back is an open space. You can use dual swords to get behind him and then unleash a combo without taking damage?
□□ is not the only solution; almost every weapon has a different way of fighting.
There are so many combat techniques. It's amazing how many different styles can be developed for a single boss, and each one has its own strategy and gameplay.
Players can even learn new skills from monsters and temporarily switch to a different weapon to conquer them.
Even if the game character's stats haven't changed at all, players feel like they've become much stronger.
The monsters in this game... each one seems to be teaching the player the correct way to fight.
There wasn't a single word of rote learning, but everything was understood without being said!
Halfway through the conversation...
One player finally couldn't hold back any longer and exclaimed in astonishment, "This game... is just too amazing!!"
Someone in front of him turned around and said, "What are you saying? This is the cult leader himself, isn't this only natural?"
They dawdled for a while, but finally arrived at the conference room and began talking to the staff in pairs.
After answering the first few questions, the expert couldn't help but boast a little, "I defeated Sisyphus with [illegible]!"
The staff member paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Impressive."
These two words were enough to make the expert extremely satisfied. He said with a smug look, "So-so. I was just about to go to church."
The staff member nodded and casually said, "Yes, after the church, it's the second level. Your progress is quite good."
After he finished speaking, the expert's eyes widened, and he almost drooled.
—The second level! You've already prepared the second level? Then why won't we play... oh no, test it?
What lies behind the church doors?
It's so itchy, it's driving me crazy!
Chapter 59 Game of the Year
The development of "Mortal Souls" is not very advanced at present, but the most completed BOSS is obviously "Sisyphus".
This monster is known as the "Parry Master" within Earth, which is also the original design intention of Mingyan.
This is a boss that you must master to block and dodge!
In the tutorial levels, regular enemies teach players how to use combos; while bosses teach players how to survive...
If you don't use blocking or dodging properly, you'll get a lesson from "Sisyphus," which is why he's called the "Blocking Instructor."
In fact, there is currently another NPC with a very high level of completion, named "Adam".
He was placed in the official levels, so test players haven't seen him yet.
After completing the tutorial, players will arrive at one of the temple ruins in the game world and use it as their base.
All subsequent levels will start from this base and explore the surrounding areas step by step.
Adam is an important NPC within the stronghold. In the lore, he was originally a Templar Knight guarding the temple, but after the temple's light disappeared, he has been fighting against the encroachment of darkness...
Adam is a character created entirely based on Ling Lingqi.
His script was the first to be completed.
Everyone at Blue Star Studios had read that script, and they portrayed Adam as a hero who bravely fought against the darkness (disease) and was unafraid of sacrifice.
The story of the mortal soul will go through many twists and turns, starting with a first playthrough where the player knows nothing, then a second playthrough where the truth is revealed, and so on until the third playthrough, when the player may be able to achieve a better ending.
This is what the designers hope for.
They hoped that Adam would eventually overcome the darkness, no matter how many hardships and obstacles he encountered along the way, because their efforts would surely be rewarded...
The hero will surely get what he wants.
...
After the validation test of "Soul of Mortals" was completed, the game development quickly got on a fast track.
Blue Star's game development capabilities are widely recognized as among the best in the Sixth Star Province, mainly thanks to its experienced and dynamic production team...
Of course, the leadership of a wise and capable boss is also indispensable.
At this time, Mingyan temporarily put aside the development affairs of Blue Star Studio.
Because he received an invitation from the Central Star Province.
—It's an invitation from the Jialian Association!
—They have nominated Blue Star Apocalypse for this year's "Game of the Year" award, and it is one of the twelve shortlisted works!
As the producer of the nominated work, Ming Yan naturally received an invitation.
Every year, the League One selects the best games of the year.
