Julio Jr. didn't go down those "crooked paths", didn't speed run, didn't help the development team test bugs, didn't try to find shortcuts, and didn't find all kinds of weird ways to play.

Of course, I completely forgot about the bet with Stan about who cleared the customs first.

He just honestly follows his own pace and follows his heart to go through the flow of the game.

In many games, there is often an inner game between the player and the development team, and the development team wants the player to play this way, which will bring the players what they think is the best game experience, but the player goes in the other direction, intentionally or unintentionally, which is especially prone to occur in open-ended games.

This is what Julio finds scary, because even when he occasionally indulges his inner rebellious emotions and wants to "I don't" once, he will have the feeling that "Pasca already thought he would do it".

On the way to fight a boss, he saw the temple, and after he let himself go in and solve the puzzle, he found that the new skills he had unlocked were very helpful in fighting that boss.

And the temple wasn't just in the middle of the road to fight the boss, but through the hints of pictures and sound effects, he was interested in going and seeing.

If he didn't have that skill, he would still have defeated that boss, but it wouldn't be that easy. Apparently all of this was designed by Pasca, who knew he was going to be distracted and enter that temple before challenging the boss...... Pasca guessed herself.

The location distribution of temples throughout the game, as well as the rewards represented by different constellations, are certainly not set randomly. This is a very laborious thing, as a whole map that theoretically players can go wherever they want, Henggong Studio has put a lot of effort into connecting them to the main story as much as possible. Let the player complete quests and explore the world, trying to stay at the same pace, at least for most players.

To do this, the design requirements for the map are actually very high. And these puzzles scattered all over the land of Shenzhou will not take a lot of time in themselves, and if you find the right idea, it will not require too much rush and operation. This short, lean cuts the sense of cutting between the maze and the game world itself.

Of course, after the game enters the middle and late stages, the elements of various puzzles are gradually enriched.

Like the very beginning of lighting the torch, nature is the simplest, most basic logic, candlestick, ignition.

Later, it was added related to a variety of spells, testing the player's flexible use of various wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth skills. For example, use a freezing spell to freeze the water into ice, then walk over to get the treasure chest floating in it, or use the wind attribute skill to blow it to the shore. Or use a lightning spell to activate an ancient mechanism. It is also possible that the terrain of the dirt can be changed in a specific place to find a completely new path.

Sometimes the player's imagination is tested, making the most of the 3D space, the entrance of the road is in the player's blind spot, and you have to run to the back of the tower to find the entrance, but it looks like a dangerous cliff.

More advancedly, the entire temple is in a rotating area, which is inside the Kunyu, and when the player controls the Kunyu to turn to swim, it is like ...... Like the Rubik's Cube Building, as its massive body twisted, the originally unwalkable place became a new road.

What impressed Julio the most was that in some temples, there was a magic circle that allowed the dragon sparrow to go back fifty years and find lost memories. These labyrinths require him to fully imagine the dimension of time, and now the dry water of the stream was clear and agitated fifty years ago, and some secrets will emerge from the bottom of the water. A small sapling that sprouted fifty years ago has grown into a giant tree in the real world, and he can climb higher along the trunk.

In these temples, he needs to keep shuttling back and forth between the two planes that are fifty years apart, looking for clues to the two planes, and cooperating with each other to solve the answers.

Julio almost felt the sense of accomplishment he felt when he established this line of thought and finally managed to make it through the temple, and it was one of the most memorable emotional experiences in the game world.

A successful maze design must be logical so that players can have the thrill of decryption, rather than random luck.

Observe the maze first, then work out a puzzle solution, and then execute it according to the idea, verify, or succeed, or look for clues that have been missed. Of course, this process will also test a certain amount of operational ability.

The puzzles in Getaway appear all over the game, and as the game progresses, they become more varied.

Even in the eyes of some players, the grand world view, the large exploration space and content, the boss battles full of design, the massive NPCs, the huge story, and the meticulously crafted tasks are wonderful but can be connected to each other. These advantages of "Getaway" are actually to a certain extent, as long as you put your heart into it, add enough patience, a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and the continuous polishing of time, it is still possible.

And those rich, intricately designed puzzles are the real genius inspiration.

Many of them, after unraveling some mysteries, will eagerly go online to find someone to discuss, share their experiences, and then sigh, I have never seen such a wonderful design. It may even burst into foul language, which is not swearing, but just a tone particle that expresses exclamation.

Because of the deep integration of these things, it also allows players to have a high degree of unity in their plot tasks, exploration of the world, finding answers to puzzles, communication with NPCs, battles with monsters, and other equipment and skills in the game. And get a complete emotional experience out of it.

……

……

It took Julio nearly five days, almost four or five hours of sleep a day, and a total of 90 hours to complete the week.

In the end, his journey is no longer lonely, he has many companions and clansmen, and of course, there is also pressure, he has to lead these clansmen to find their own pure land, away from the war.

The foreign young man does not know much about the Chinese hermit culture, but what he has in common is that he can also feel the romance and freedom in it, which is not an escape, because he has experienced so much. The meaning of the so-called retreat after the experience and before the experience is different, and they also understand what Guan Rong's retirement is.

As with the beginning of the civil strife of the human race, the demon race is not unified internally, and in Julio's own opinion, it can be divided into two branches: radical and conservative...... Or the difference between the left and the right. The former advocates revenge and reclaiming the Shenzhou continent once ruled by the ancestors of his own race, Julio is not a conflict-loving person, he follows his heart, and in this choice that is clearly an offshoot of the ending, he favors the latter.

The dragon bird led the people who found it, and there was a phoenix like him, the one named Qingluan, which was the heroine who was appointed to him...... One...... In addition, there is a charming nine-tailed white fox, a cold plum blossom flower demon, a playful and clever cat demon, a pure and incomparable dragon girl, and the dragon set of Li Zhi's studio...... A mermaid girl with a fishtail ......

These beautiful female characters all have an ambiguous relationship with the dragon sparrow.

After all...... The copywriter in charge of this project, the Twelve Gold Saints, is really the Twelve Gold Saints, all of them are men, and there is no girl. There are still more or less inferior roots of men, and it is a fantasy theme of ancient times, so I let go of myself.

The reason is also very valid, the game itself is male-oriented, and it is estimated that more than 80% of the users of the Blue Fish Network are male players, and they are mainly distributed between the ages of 25 and 35......

These heroines are also one of the partners, and the rest also have mountain spirits and river gods, as well as Yaksha water charms, which is a bit of a Chinese monster encyclopedia. The dragon sparrow went through ups and downs with them on the road, and finally led them to the easternmost mile.

He has retrieved his past memories, and also knows the suffering of the demon clan in the world, their final destination is the end of the East China Sea, where there is a place called Tanggu, also known as the country of Xihe, where there is a giant tree called "Fusang" that covers the sky and the sun, standing on the sea, a standard landmark.

It's also the hometown of the dragon sparrow.

This journey is not only that he saved his people from the times when saints were not visible, disasters were everywhere, and chaos was everywhere. It was also his journey to reclaim his memories.

He is the son of Phoenix, the former Demon Emperor Jun.

The dragon bird led the clansmen to the beach, followed by two chasing soldiers, some people, and some leftist demons.

They have already put the demon clan's Zhen clan artifact, Emperor Wa's demon flag, Donghuang Taiyi's Donghuang Bell, and the three hundred and sixty-five Great Zhou Tian Xingchen Banner. With the power of Zhou Tianxingdou, he woke up the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who was sleeping in the Eastern Emperor Bell.

It's just that this is no longer the true body of the real Eastern Emperor Taiyi, but just a remnant of the unconscious half-wisp of soul. Even so, his power was devastated, influenced by the hatred of the left, and he was bent on revenge and restoration.

Let the demon clan return to the era of the ancient heavenly court, in the glory of the master of the Three Realms.

All of a sudden, the heavens and the earth repeated, the universe reversed, the stars changed, and the dragon and snake landed.

The co-leader of the human sect, Ji Xuanyuan also joined forces with the dragon bird at this time, and the two led their subordinates to start the final boss battle with the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

The final battlefield was no longer the seaside, in the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, it was surrounded by stars bursting with starlight, as if it was in the universe. This is the final battle, the most gorgeous stage.

The sun, the moon and countless stars surrounded the big array, everyone seemed to be standing on top of the Milky Way, and in a corner that was not so easy to notice, Yang Shu also added a little easter egg...... Black hole.

Of course, in this battle, others are just going through the motions, and in the end it is the player's battle. At the end of the battle, the dragon bird finally completed the super evolution (became the ultimate phoenix beast?). ）…… He spread his black wings, flapped and rolled up the flames, obscuring the sky and the sun, he turned into a real dragon sparrow and rushed towards the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

And eventually pierced his chest.

The stars dispersed, the dark universe turned into fragments, and the sunlight once again penetrated the black clouds and shone on the earth.

There's nothing more shocking than the moment of dawn that has been fought to the death and the whole body has been completely exhausted, splitting the chaotic sun.

Once again, they were back on earth, and the waves in the distance were tumbling and shining with golden light.

The rest of the Terrans and Demons looked at the end of the East China Sea together, forgetting about the battle.

……

Of course, this is not the end of the story.

Ji Xuanyuan still asked the dragon bird and the demon clan to stay, what he wanted was the stability and unity of the land of Shenzhou. Everyone, including the descendants of the Wu clan who are in the North Underworld, he will also find all of them, and everyone needs to be supervised. The demon clan is powerful, and if it does evil, it will be a disaster for the common people.

The dragon sparrow and the demon clan say they just want to find a place away from strife and re-establish their kingdom.

However, the emperor will not believe this kind of unfounded words, he has the common people on his shoulders, and he can't bet on so many people.

The Terran soldiers surrounded them, and the demon clan was also united, not free, rather than dying, behind them was the boundless East China Sea, there was no way to escape, except for a few goblins, most of the rest walked into the sea like this...... They're killing themselves.

I just don't want to surrender to anyone.

That's what they do.

In the formation of the two sides, they were already scarred and exhausted, including Long Que and Ji Xuanyuan, they were not able to fight anymore, but their eyes were engraved with unwaveringness. They all have their own positions and attitudes.

Everyone has no intention of backing down, and they are about to fight again.

At this time, the vast East China Sea suddenly became turbulent, turning up stormy waves, like a giant dragon churning, slapping the sea.

And then...... The sea flows abruptly in the middle and splits into two halves, one north and the other south.

The East China Sea is divided in two, revealing the dark surface of the seabed, and it has become a broad road.

Dragon Sparrow and the Demon Clan, Ji Xuanyuan and the Human Clan, and Julio in front of the screen, they all looked at this scene in a daze, speechless.

Julio almost shouted, "Moses, cross the Red Sea...... and he still said "Hallelujah ......" in his heart

As they knew, in the book of Exodus in the Bible, the prophet Moses of Israel led his people through the Red Sea to find their land of Canaan over the time of the Egyptians.

He never thought that he would be able to witness such a scene in the game, and it was an oriental fantasy game.

Two towering walls of water stood like this, and Ji Xuanyuan and all the humans fell silent.

He said, is this the will of Harmony?

That's not something he could disobey.

Then, without giving the order, everyone put away their weapons, and the animation of this demonstration was so well done that you could even see the complex expressions on his face, mixed with tremors, sighs, and helplessness that could not be disobeyed.

Then, humanity withdrew. Ji Xuanyuan led his subordinates out of the East Coast, he was going back to his imperial city, at this time Shenzhou was not stable, and there were more things waiting for him to complete.

On the faces of the demon clans, it is written the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

The morning sun was rising at this time, and the dragon bird said to the people, let's go.

Subtitles from the production team also began to appear at this time.

The ending song sounds, and the tone is heavy, carrying an epic, a race, and countless creatures

Then the demon clan crossed from the bottom of the sea and walked into the sea.

This is the end of this story.

This is what Julio went through.
