Chapter 338 Lowering
No.
Gu Zhiyi looked at the screen, a little crazy.
So what kind of game is this? Shooting game? It seems that there are indeed guns...
But what about your time stop and teleportation?
Action game? It seems that there are indeed action scenes.
After all, the male protagonist jumps on the roof.
But what about your mechanical legs? This is a medieval background, right?
And did the male protagonist chop off in the end?
You should explain it clearly! Lin Yao! Linmu Studio! You make a movie... Oh, this seems to be a game trailer, then it's okay.
Then there is only one question left, when will this game be released?
Gu Zhiyi excitedly held the mouse again and pulled the purchase link under the store to see the specific release date.
This trailer mixed a lot of elements, and he was a little confused.
It's the Middle Ages, witches, machinery, time stop, and teleportation...
Advanced and backward coexist.
Magic and science coexist.
It's very strange.
But also... It feels very exciting.
Isn't this more eye-catching than Reflecta's old three things! ?
Gu Zhiyi had to admit that
he wanted to play this game very much, much more than those escort masterpieces announced by Reflecta, whose gameplay was clear at a glance.
But when he scrolled to the pre-order page,
he found that
the first round of closed testing for this game would not be open until the middle of the month.
The middle of the month...
Gu Zhiyi was immediately disappointed when he saw the date.
But at the same time, he also saw the label next to the pre-order, and this game did not have an online function.
In other words,
this is a stand-alone game...
Linmu Studio's first large-scale stand-alone game.
Gu Zhiyi's heart moved, and he immediately jumped back to the forum.
Sure enough ,
although "The Witch" was announced for less than half an hour,
the forum
was already full of related posts.
Reflecta's posts had completely disappeared...
and one of the posts quickly attracted Gu Zhiyi's attention.
[Linmu Studio just announced a setting collection, saying that this is steampunk, I don't understand, but I think... it's really awesome! ]
...
As soon as "The Witch" was announced,
it instantly set off a huge wave.
Linmu Studio has been well-known in China after so many games.
In addition, the Vaporwave gaming platform is used by both online game users and stand-alone independent game users.
Such high-standard publicity and promotion, supplemented by a handsome art style.
Basically, users who often use the Vaporwave gaming platform have known about Linmu Studio's "The Witch" and have seen the game's trailer.
However, in the eyes of players, this trailer of "The Witch" is really different from ordinary game trailers.
It's too mixed.
Even Linmu Studio's previous trailers.
Breakout or Wrath of the Lich King.
After watching these trailers, players can basically tell what the theme of the game is.
For example, "Warcraft" is a fantasy theme.
"Breakout" is a gunfight theme.
Although there are zombies in "Breakout", in the final analysis, there is still an explanation, a virus.
But this time "The Witch".
Many players really can't tell what kind of game it is.
At first glance.
It looks like an action game with a medieval background, but soon, the appearance of tall guards directly made the audience who watched the trailer deny this conjecture.
Then, the exquisite mechanical mask in the male protagonist's hand further made the audience feel that this might be an imaginary science fiction world...
But later.
Superpowers break the door, time stops, and teleports.
It reminds the players again.
This game is called "Witch"...
It's weird.
The game is full of many elements, but it is unexpectedly harmonious and exciting.
Very eye-catching.
And many players have also discovered it.
This game is the first stand-alone masterpiece of Linmu Studio. It has no networking function, but the price is as high as 199.
It is obviously a masterpiece with a very long stand-alone campaign. It is a
stand-alone masterpiece of Linmu Studio.
It is also a masterpiece that reveals a sense of strangeness in the promotional video and promotional pictures.
It would be strange if it didn't attract attention.
Moreover.
Linmu Studio also understands it.
Shortly after the promotional video was released, some setting information was released to answer the players who watched the promotional video.
For example, the background of the game.
In the game setting, this is a world where technology and supernatural power coexist, and the protagonist is in Brownwall, an industrial city in Edinburgh.
As the capital of the Archipelago Empire, Brownwall quickly developed into an industrial and whaling center after a natural philosopher discovered that whale oil could be used as fuel many years ago...
At the same time, some setting pictures were also released,
such as the tall guards that players are interested in. They are a kind of heavily armored archers called high guards, and the cans they carry behind them are whale oil, which is also the power source of the mecha.
As for superpowers,
they come from another group of witches.
Every time you kill a witch, you can get her ability.
Including time suspension, teleportation, and telekinesis that appeared in the promotional video.
In addition to superpowers, there are various weapons in the game, which have also been announced.
Pistols, long swords, crossbows, grenades, and steel storms.
Almost every weapon is full of exaggerated decorations in an eclectic style.
The appearance is exquisite and rough, and they all use steam, clockwork or manpower as the main power.
Very handsome.
As soon as this setting information of Linmu Studio was released, it was immediately reprinted everywhere.
In the face of another question from players, what kind of game is this?
Linmu Studio also answered it. They named their game style of "Witch"... Steampunk.
A brand new game style.
Linmu Studio released the setting information.
"The Witch" has not been released yet, but people are already going crazy on the forums...
"Steampunk! It feels so exciting! [Excited]"
"The trailer is really cool. I wonder if the actual gameplay experience will be like the trailer, with the ability to stop time and use cold weapons."
"I took a close look at the trailer. The buildings in it are a mix of Gothic and Baroque styles, with a classical atmosphere, and then mixed with machinery and superpowers. I have to say, you are really good, Linmu Studio... I can't believe this is a game made by a domestic producer."
"This should be the game that uses motion capture of real movie stars, right? I have to say, the witch in the last scene is very beautiful. Although she was strangled, she has a superb temperament. I don't know what the game is about."
"Is this motion capture? Then who is the last female star? And the male protagonist looks pretty handsome too, what's his name?"
"The test will only start in the middle of this month, so when will the game be released? I can't wait!"
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
"..."
Even domestic players are like this.
Not to mention Indo-European countries...
The background story of "The Witch" was originally based on the Victorian era.
Overseas Indo-European countries are more familiar with this period and are more receptive to this background story.
After The Witch was simultaneously launched on the overseas Vaporwave game platform and the relevant setting information was announced, the word steampunk
instantly
became popular in the overseas player community.
Countless overseas players seemed to have discovered a new world.
Gradually, this even became a trend.
Reflecta, which was fighting hard against the two major console platforms in the overseas market, suddenly discovered
the next day that the popularity of its own console, the popularity of its own console escort masterpiece... suddenly dropped a lot. Sorry, I couldn't help but watch the game... I owe a chapter. (End of this chapter)
