Chapter 67: The Demons Dance
The planet expanded rapidly under its feet, and soon fell into the clouds, and its vision was covered by a faint layer of flamelight, and An Daoyuan's exclamation was heard in the dormitory, and after shouting, he laughed: "It's so cool!" That's the power of the Alfalfa engine! ”
Wu Kang said disdainfully: "Stupid, this is CG!" Didn't you see the prompt to download the data? ”
"That's the CG made by Alfalfa, too.,Wow......"
An Daoyuan shut up in the middle of speaking, Wu Kang didn't speak again, and a beautiful figure instantly sucked away their souls.
Straight black hair, jade white skin, purple eyes, red and white vests and short skirts embroidered with simple Chinese palace style ornaments, forehead and left and right ears erected a blue light pinnacle, connected into a small crown of light.
Cicada Little Fantasy, a cicada virtual idol who has only seen some official leaks on the cactus website, appeared in front of the five thousand players who participated in the first test of "Phantom Galaxy".
Although he just floated quietly and waved, only feeling the fresh breath from the ups and downs of his body, there was no more movement or sound, but at this moment, the otaku, who accounted for 90% of the testers, screamed in their mouths or hearts, and pressed the screenshot and video buttons wildly in their hands, and the remaining 10% of the otaku also lost their minds for a while.
It wasn't until an input box appeared next to the arm raised by Cicada Xiaophantom that An Daoyuan and Wu Kang returned to their souls.
Cicada fantasy can be watched at any time, and the focus is still on the game. As a rule of thumb, the earlier you enter the game, the more advantageous you are, and the higher you rank, the more you will be taken seriously by the authorities. Whether it's a follow-up test or a variety of promotional activities, you can enjoy special treatment.
Entering the ID and password, Wu Kang pressed the confirm button on the Oculus controller, and the clouds dissipated, as if falling on a small island, and then saw balls of light emitting a soft light. There are all kinds of IDs on the ball of light, "not entangled", "cicada meow", "phantom god king", "gluttonous hole", etc., at a glance, it is a variety of net houses.
He quickly adjusted the perspective, changed the first person to the third person, and then opened his mouth wide, this is his character?
A ball of light, with a fuzzy halo around the edges, that looks like a soft white fluffy ball.
The ball of light is the ball of light, looking at the surrounding balls of light, some are jumping, some are rolling, Wu Kang feels that if he accepts this setting, it is actually quite emotional.
According to the prompts, Wu Kang learned how to jump and how to roll, and then followed the direction indicated by the arrow, and saw from a distance that the light balls were lined up in a long line, waiting to enter a light door.
The island is supposed to be the lobby, but now it's bare, with only the coastline in the distance, the blue sky overhead, and the dotted coconut palms. The game doesn't even have a text chat channel, let alone a voice chat.
This is not difficult for players, Wu Kang has already been added to the voice group of the Cactus Space Agency, and everyone has been appreciating the cicada fantasy and doing the novice experience before, and the group is very quiet.
At this time, someone said: "Remember to add friends after you go in and report your own galaxy coordinates." ”
Behind this door is the galaxy exclusive to each player, thinking that a person can toss in a galaxy, Wu Kang's heart is hot, but he didn't dare to cut in line, obediently lined up, and waited for several minutes before manipulating the ball of light to jump into the light gate.
Another CG, the "Wu Kang Photosphere" separated from an orange-red star, skimmed across the vast galaxy, and landed on a terrestrial planet.
An Daoyuan shouted in the group: "I can't go back......"
He also landed, and the game suggests that he can only go into space again after the planet has reached a certain stage of development.
Sandy wastelands, smoky volcanoes, lava overflowing, intersecting or parallel to the mist-rising rivers into the gloomy sea. Compared with the gray tones of the ground, the aurora, the galaxy, and the sun overhead form a magnificent background.
There was no talk in the voice group again, and they were all the same as Wu Kang, shocked by the magnificent scenes and realistic details.
This is a lifeless planet, and it must be a long process to get back into space.
At this time, the game's operation interface was fully revealed, but there was no prompt at all, after all, it was still a test.
Ignoring the shouting, "Just like MC, you can dig in the dirt!" Wu Kang patiently pondered the game interface for a while, and probably understood the gameplay.
On the surface, "Galaxy of Illusions" is the same as "Minecraft", both are made things, but the gameplay and fun are different.
On Galaxy of Illusions planets, you can dig up to get basic materials like sand, dirt, stone, and metal. You can use these materials to build a house or something like the MC.
The process of making is different, these materials are not blocks like MC, but particles finer than gravel. For example, to build a house, you need to build bricks first, and to make bricks, you need to put soil into a cuboid template to make an adobe template. The game has built-in basic three-dimensional geometric templates including cubes, cuboids, spheres, semicircles, etc., which can be applied directly and at a very low cost.
If it's just like this, it won't reflect the characteristics of "Galaxy of Illusions" at all. The real charm of the game is freedom, you can completely throw away those fixed templates, "pinch" anything strange with various materials, and then solidify that shape into a template.
The editor is very eye-catching, unlike 3DMAX or MAYA, the editor interface is simple and easy to understand, you just need to use your imagination. However, to make a template with enough finesse, it is not something that can be done with a few pinching strokes, and you must put in a lot of effort.
Judging from the 1080P display effect of the VR headset, whether it is directly applied to the template or something freely pinched, the realism is out of the charts. Even on a 4K monitor, the effect is on the same level as the item models in the top 3D games. This is just the performance of the Alfalfa engine in terms of consumer particles, and it is said that the more subtle developer particles, the picture can withstand the test of 100-fold magnification.
That's it.,It's just a high-precision real mod for MC.。 Fabrication and fabrication are nothing more than the foundation of Galaxy of Illusions, and the game's slogan is "Bringing Reality into the Virtual World" and "Creating Reality in the Virtual World".
The player's planet only has a single limited number of materials such as sand, dirt, rock, metal, etc., but the player can load different soil, rocks and other inorganic matter into his own planet, and can also load various organic matter, and even plants, animals, and people. Of course, what kind of things can be loaded into the game is also limited by the level of the character. From inorganic matter to organic matter, unlocked step by step, human beings are not yet the highest level, and it is said that they can create a higher level of life.
How do you load your life into the game? There's an easier way to do it than pinch: scanning. The game has a dedicated interface for the Dream Magic Mirror, and you can import the 3D model by scanning it directly, and after processing it into a template in the editor, the upload server will be done.
However, according to the game's settings, there is an overhead for scanning things into the game.
Wu Kang felt that although the gameplay setting of the game was simple, it was very interesting.
Characters have levels and experience, and the most important ones are "enthalpy" and "entropy".
"Enthalpy" is equivalent to the concept of physical strength in the general game, which will increase fixedly and stop when it reaches the maximum value of the current level. Whether you are pinching something or scanning something, it will consume "enthalpy", but there is no consumption in collecting materials and making things from a pinched template.
"Entropy" is the currency used in circulation, if you don't have a template for something, and you don't want to pinch it yourself, you can use "entropy points" to find someone else to buy a template. There are two ways to obtain "entropy points", one is to sell the template you have made out to others, and the other is to obtain the corresponding "entropy" whenever the ecology of your planet progresses, or becomes more orderly and diversified.
Wu Kang looked at his light ball attribute:
Level 0, which creates and edits matter: dirt, gravel, rock.
The upper limit of "enthalpy" is 10 points, and "entropy" has 10 points.
Hearing the voice group talking about what kind of nest to build for his ball of light, Wu Kang felt that this should indeed be the first step, just like a human landing on the moon, he had to set up a sign to commemorate his arrival.
Make an altar and make it round......
Wu Kang imagined that after he reached dozens of levels and created human beings, these virtual people would dance around the altar to the great gods. Just as I was about to start construction, I heard someone in the group say: "The larger the size of the template, the more enthalpy it consumes, so it is necessary to plan well and split it into a template that can combine more things." ”
Sure enough, when you open the editor, the "enthalpy" consumed by pinching things is directly proportional to the number of particles required by the template. If you pinch a large shaped altar, you have to ask for dozens of "enthalpy".
Then use the sand brick template that only needs 1 point......
Holding the handle to make a grasping motion, in the field of vision of the VR headset, he spit out a thin ball of light and grabbed a cloud of dirt.
Wu Kang thinks that it is too wise for "Phantom Galaxy" to add support for VR in the first test, which is called playing games.
The amount of particles grabbed this time was not enough for the number needed for a square brick, so Wu Kang grabbed two more handfuls and stored enough soil particles in the operation space. Open the editor, select a rectangular template, just like pouring cement, pour soil particles into the template, and a gray square brick will be formed.
The new template was given a name, classified as dirt, and the "enthalpy" point was minus 1. He continued to grab the soil, this time without clicking on the editor, and directly applied the dirt brick template, and the bricks were "rubbed" out.
When he lays the first brick on the leveled ground, the system shows that experience is increased by 10 and "entropy" is increased by 1 point. Continue to shop, experience only increases by 1 point, but the "entropy" no longer increases.
"Phantom Galaxy" really encourages players to create a rich and diverse world, and it takes 100 experience points to reach level 1, and you have to rub 90 dirt bricks out of it, and you can only level up after it is paved. If you are pinching something else, you only need to pinch 9 more pieces.
Wu Kang was busy, and An Daoyuan excitedly shouted in the headphones: "Add me as a friend!" ”
With the addition of his friend, Wu Kang received a prompt: "Friend 'Ander Xiaogongju' summons you to his planet." ”
Yo, you can do that!
Wu Kang pressed to confirm, and after a burst of white light, the scene changed, and he arrived at An Daoyuan's planet. The view of the ground and the sky is somewhat different, but it is generally the same, and the elements are not the same.
"My name is Ander One! Come and see my monument! ”
An Daoyuan's ball of light was bouncing around, looking at the ID on its head, it turned out to be level 1, and it looked a little bigger.
followed An Daoyuan to his "monument", looking at the crooked pyramid, Wu Kang felt that his stomach began to churn, and the "Wu Kang Light Ball" also jumped high.
"What did you do!?"
The pyramid seems to be stacked with a spherical template, but it is not a standard spheroid, and the texture is not dirt, but An Daoyuan's head, the head scanned with the Dream True Magic Mirror! A bunch of realistic heads stacked on top of each other, with a smirk on their faces, was a terrifying sight.
An Daoyuan's ball of light rolled on the ground: "I'll sweep my head in, and it's OK to set the category to dirt!" How's that, awesome! ”
Wu Kang really can't complain, you take your head to pile up Jingguan, what do you want to commemorate!?
After all, it's a test, and the official hasn't done a good job of the automatic review system for uploaded content, and maybe even deliberately conniving at players to play to their heart's content, so all kinds of strange things soon appeared on the player's planet.
Models of tanks and planes are classified as dirt or rock, and it is considered normal to build various palaces.
Players who quickly upgraded to the point where they could scan plants, out of the bad taste of "plant a Saber in the spring, harvest a cart of Saber in the fall", scanned various anime figures, sorted them into grass, and planted them headfirst in the ground. Pieces of upside-down "Saber fields" or something, the picture is too beautiful to see.
There were even people who scanned the inflatable doll into the game, piling up a smooth "doll maze", and the guy also ran to the cactus forum to show off, and after being reported by other players, the illusion side hurriedly deleted the template from the server.
Looking at the templates that are constantly uploaded on the server side, something that exceeds the standard of spiritual civilization pops up from time to time. What kind of chrysanthemums, cardamom, it's like a carnival for old drivers, using "Phantom Galaxy" as a training ground, Wu Sihao covered his face and sighed, Xia Ming stroked his forehead and was speechless.
What a crowd of demons are dancing......
