Chapter 35: Good News

On the first Friday of April, the Order, the massive DLC for Secret of Shadows, was released.

This is the last major DLC for Shadow Secrets, and this DLC is much richer than the previous one, with a total of two new scenarios and an extra-long quest line, and a series of side plots that completely complete the game's worldview.

As the name suggests, the protagonist of "The Order" is naturally the mysterious "Shadow Order" behind the first act, and the protagonist of this DLC is the Shadow Order.

For this pit, the players of "Shadow Secrets" still have a lot of grievances, mainly because in the previous game content, this organization has been coming out to do things, but it always hides its head and tails and digs a lot of pits.

Many players think that Oasis will not fill the hole in this game in the future, and may save this hole for the sequel of the game.

However, in the future, Oasis still very "conscience" began to fill in this hole, but this "conscience" has to be put in quotation marks here, mainly because this DLC only exposes the tip of the iceberg of the Shadow Order, but digs a deeper hole.

The background of the story of "The Order" is mixed with a lot of religious conspiracy theories, which appear many times in movies, games or novels today, although these things do not stand up to much scrutiny, but for the audience and players, it still looks quite interesting.

The relevant content of the Shadow Order is based on religious conspiracy theories and some religious legends, and "The Order" exposes some of the inside story of this organization, but it also leaves a lot of foreshadowing, which makes people want to send blades.

The two scenes in "The Order" are basically references to some religious cities in Europe, and compared to the usual dark tones before, this DLC adds a strong contrast between light and darkness to the design of the scene. The bright light on the surface, the dark filth on the inside, and the strong contrast impact left a deep impression on the players.

"Shadow Secrets" and all the DLCs are fictional and empty in the setting of the background, but they still bring a lot of realistic shadows.

April is a low season for the release of the game, although it is only a DLC, but there is not a lot of content in the game, and the release of "Shadow Secrets - Order" is the biggest new game in recent times.

Now the future oasis, "Shadow Secrets" can be said to be the most famous star work, and the release of "Order" also drew an end to the first part of "Shadow Secrets".

"Is it done? Yes, I'm looking forward to it. ”

The release of the Order wasn't the only piece of good news for the future oasis during this time, as over the weekend, Su Li received a phone call from Germany, where SureAI's Nicholas told Su Li that the large mod they had made with The Lost Secret was complete.

SureAI's MOD,It's Su Li's most concerned thing in addition to his own game.,Of course,This MOD is also half of its own game.,After all, according to the agreement,The mod produced by the editor.,Strictly speaking, it's an accessory to "Lost Secrets".

During this time, Future Oasis has been following up on Nicholas's project, providing a lot of help to the non-commercial independent studio, including some financial and technical assistance.

On the phone, Nicholas excitedly expressed his gratitude to Su Li, and when their project was underway, he asked Su Li for help several times, and received a full response.

For example, in terms of character movements, Future Oasis has provided them with more critical help, helping them save a fortune on motion capture.

In addition, the relevant editor used by SureAI has more interfaces and functions than the publicly released editor, which is a special version and can achieve more functions.

SureAI's work, titled Steam 1938, is a fantasy steampunk style work set on the European continent, and the game is set in an era when the technology tree is deviant, and European countries are also under the shadow of war.

Su Li likes the theme of steampunk very much, and this theme can usually show a patchwork beauty. Fantasy and science come together to create a unique aesthetic.

And this "Steam 1938" shows the development of a fantasy steam civilization to the peak, and the various tools and urban design in it fully reflect the imagination of the designer.

Some of the characteristic elements of steampunk are readily available, and the style of the game fully carries forward the spirit of "making the gears see the light of day", and the heavy industrial power is vividly reflected, and the various giant machines are extremely powerful.

"Steam 1938" is an ARPG game, under the framework of "Lost Secrets", "Steam 1938" reflects the action of the game more, SureAI canceled the concept of character level in the game, and instead used the concept of "skills and techniques" to establish a character development system.

The weapons and equipment inside are also very interesting, guns with steam turbines and dashboards, cold weapons with retractable power plants, small robots driven by machinery, and the ranged weapons inside basically have obvious ballistics, and the melee weapons are also very maneuverable.

Using the framework of "Lost Secrets", SureAI's "Steam 1938" makes full use of the system of free production. Instead of Lost Realm, where players can only make simple tools, here players can use their imagination to make something with a steampunk twist.

Nicholas also told Su Li that SureAI had a complete follow-up plan for Steam 1938 to incorporate production into the game's core gameplay, allowing players to build their own giant steampunk-style machines.

At the same time, Su Li also got this MOD for trial play.

"Great art design!"

In Oasis Studios, many people have gotten the mod from SureAI, which is the last official version, and they are among the first players of this mod.

Now that everyone is busy, a lot of people in the studio are working with this mod that took years to make.

Xia Qinglan looked at the scene in the game and unconsciously admired, this girl likes this style of thing the most, the city inside that relies on giant machinery to operate, her eyes are shining.

Steampunk style works are basically full of classicist aesthetics, and pay more attention to the expression of the works.

Future Oasis has been exposed to the content of this mod before, but the feeling of playing the finished product is very different.

And Su Li is very satisfied with the combat action in the game, the combat system of "Steam 1938" has some help from the members of the future oasis, such as in cold weapon combat, in addition to some conventional basic operations, there are some more cool operations.

For example, many of the cold weapons in it are equipped with steam power units, which can perform some operations such as "catapulting" or "telescoping", and a huge axe can realize the operation of sliding the axe blade up and down on the axe handle.

"Steam 1938" is a very hard-core style, and the action is very powerful, which is completely irresistible for those who are good at it.
