Chapter 160: "Ascension" Promotional Video (1st Update)

Saturday, 9 p.m.

Gu Fan yawned, took a glass of water from the water dispenser next to him, and then came to the living room.

At this time, Lilith was sitting cross-legged in front of the big TV, squeezing the handle fiercely, and was engrossed in dealing with the enemy in front of her.

Gu Fan sat silently on the sofa and began to watch the battle.

It's been four days since Ascension entered the official beta phase of the game.

The whole company of Reverse Heaven Games is playing games at high intensity and recording bugs at the same time.

So far, more than 170 bugs have been recorded in the company's background, both large and small.

From texture errors and clipping, to game crashes and bad files, you name it.

These bugs are a headache for everyone.

If it's another game, there are hundreds of bugs, but it's not difficult to deal with, anyway, just submit and fix them according to the standard process.

Revise them one by one, and you can always finish it.

But "Ascension" is different, Mr. Gu said, some bugs need to be changed, and some bugs are not needed!

So what should be changed and what should not be used? It's a technical job.

It's like being in a pocket and picking red beans from green beans.

If you say that it is okay to pick out all the red beans, although it is more tedious, there will always be a day when the selection is finished.

But if you ask for it, only pick red beans with a relatively large diameter? And then leave a hundred smaller red beans in a bag of mung beans?

That's pure torture!

Therefore, the employees up and down against heaven began to doubt life again.

Especially the people in the test group have never seen such an outrageous test method. That is, Su Tong is conscientious and responsible, and he has set a good example, plus there are enough bonuses, and others may not be able to persevere.

The good news, of course, is that Lilith is also choking on the game.

At first, Gu Fan asked her to play with a keyboard and mouse in the study on the first floor of the villa, but after smashing a table and four keyboards in total, Gu Fan felt that it was not a way to continue like this.

So I moved the laptop to the living room and connected it to the big TV in the living room, so that Lilith could play with the controller.

Since Gu Fan bought relatively cheap domestic handles, and they were relatively resistant to falling, the loss was greatly reduced.

At this time, on the big screen, Lilith is controlling the main character of the game: an immortal cultivator wearing a notched hat and a tattered robe.

The previous game DEMO of Lilith tried to play used free resources in the editor, although the protagonist is also a fairy style, but the clothes are fluttering, chic and comfortable, in fact, it is completely inconsistent with the background of "Ascension".

And the image of the protagonist in the official version has changed dramatically.

The name of the protagonist is "Li Huanzhen", and there is also an English name called "Vision Lee" in the science fiction world.

His tattered robe is very interesting, his left arm is a rather wide robe sleeve, and the left hand hidden under the robe sleeve is only a forest of white bones, but around the white bones is a special circle of dark black bamboo slips, like a large bracer, threaded with blood-red silk thread, which can only be seen during special movements; On the right arm, the sleeve of the arrow is neat, and he holds an iron sword full of gaps.

On the back of the protagonist, there is also a special long sword, which looks like a stone and jade, and on the background of white and light yellow gradients, various spots and lines appear from time to time, either dark yellow or dark black.

However, a closer look reveals that the sword is not straight, but has a strange curved arc.

Lilith stared intently at the TV screen, carefully operating.

Just half a minute later, Li Huanzhen's body swelled and collapsed, exploding into a large firework, and a big word appeared on the screen: "Collapse"!

"Ah!!h

Lilith angrily slammed the handle to the ground, making a "pop" sound, and bounced high.

In the game "Ascension", the meaning of "collapse" is roughly equivalent to "death".

However, the term "collapse" actually has more meanings, in the Xianxia world, it represents mental collapse and flesh collapse, while in the science fiction world, it represents the collapse of AI intelligent programs and the collapse and explosion of mechanical bodies.

Gu Fan silently picked up the handle, checked it a little and found that there was no major problem, and handed it back.

Lilith was still angry: "Gu Fan! The modifier you added to me doesn't work at all! Why can't I beat the boss in this game? ”

Gu Fan coughed lightly: "Mr. Li, these modifications are already outrageous, or you should directly use the modifier to lock your blood." ”

Lilith grimaced, but gradually calmed her anger: "Okay, I'll try again." ”

After saying that, she picked up the handle again and began to challenge.

Gu Fan did do as Lilith requested, and got a special cheat prop for her.

This prop is the "Relic Sword" she carried on her back.

This relic sword is an item that was originally included in the game, and according to the normal process, it will be obtained at the "Shingon Temple" in the middle of the game.

However, according to the normal process, the player must defeat the special mechanical boss here and cremate the old abbot in the temple to refine his backbone into a relic and obtain a relic sword.

There are two relics swords, one is called "Zhizhen" and the other is called "Zhifu".

These two swords cannot be used in everyday combat, but they can consume health and faith to unleash special martial arts.

"True" can cause confusion or bugs in the enemy's AI. When used on bosses, it deals a high amount of toughness and a small amount of damage.

"Illusion" can cut open the cracks of another world and send weak enemies away. When used against bosses, it deals high damage and a small amount of toughening.

In the normal game flow, players can only choose one of the two, and they also need to consume various materials and items to upgrade them later.

By the time the level is full, the game will almost come to an end.

And Gu Fan in the beta version for Lilith, directly stuffed the sword "Zhizhen" into her backpack at the beginning, and it was a full-level damage effect by default.

In other words, Lilith can directly rely on the simple and crude martial art of the sword "Zhizhen" to chop melons and vegetables in the early stage, which greatly reduces the difficulty of defeating the boss.

And after Lilith arrives at the "Shingon Temple" as normal, she can continue to obtain another "Fantasy" Relic Sword, which can be used together with the two legendary weapons in the plot.

Unexpectedly, even if she had achieved this level, Lilith still stumbled and was killed by various boss fancy explosions.

But fortunately, although she has "crashed" countless times along the way, Lilith has finally become more and more proficient, and it seems that it will not be a problem to get through the game in two or three days.

Gu Fan returned to the sofa and sat down, took out his mobile phone to refresh, and found that the promotional video of "Ascension" had been sent out on the media account of the official platform.

This time, the promotion of "Ascension" has been done more fully than the previous games, and although the game is scheduled to be released on Saturday, February 1st, the preliminary publicity work can already be officially launched.

……

At the same time, Lecturer Ding also swiped the promotional video of "Ascension".

"Huh? A new game against heaven is here!

"Goodfellas, action games? I feel that this time against heaven is going to be a whole big job!

"Action games are good, I'm very talented in action games. Hey, wait, how is Vientiane engine development? Isn't this the engine that the official has been pushing but has never pushed up, and all of them are bugs?

"I had a bad premonition......

"But after all, it's a work against heaven, and I'm still looking forward to it. After all, there have never been bugs in the previous games against heaven! ”

With excitement, Lecturer Ding clicked on the video to watch.

At the beginning of the video, the first thing is the logo of the game against heaven, the logo of the official platform "over 18 years old", and the small print prompt that "the current screen is the actual screen in the game development, and does not represent the final effect".

Immediately afterward, a distant view appears in the picture.

It looks like a common Xianxia game, with snow-covered cliffs, traditional Chinese-style buildings standing majestically, and towering cornices carved with exotic beasts.

Floating islands loom in the distance, cliffs are covered with pines and cypresses, and a wooden suspension bridge connecting the two peaks.

It's just that the sunset in the sky reveals a strange crimson color, which adds a bit of weirdness to the whole world.

As the screen turns, a figure wearing a hat appears on the pointed roof, and a blood moon slowly rises behind him.

In the temple on the top of the mountain, the huge Buddha statue collapsed violently, and the old monk with a withered face was in flames, and his right hand stretched out to the back of his neck in a strange posture, and something seemed to be faintly pulled out of the flames.

"Do you want to see the world as real or as unreal?

Or ...... Real or unreal? ”

With a sharp crane roar, the immortal riding a huge crane appeared in the clouds, holding a rune that could attract thunder and lightning in his hand, and with a snap of his fingers, the thunder shot down towards the young man in a broken robe.

In the gloomy flesh cavern, the mangled monstrous creature wriggled with flesh tentacles, and flesh faces continued to emerge on the walls as it chanted.

The young man in the tattered robe waved the sleeve of his left hand, and the black bamboo slips connected by crimson silk threads unfolded, each piece of bamboo slips was like a thin and narrow tablet in a pentagonal shape, turning into an umbrella bone shield to block the attack in front of him.

Then he suddenly took out his heart and crushed it with his left hand, which was only white and bone-like, and the flesh and blood were splashed on the bamboo slips, instantly bursting into blazing flames, engulfing himself and the scene in front of him.

In the attic on the top of the snow-capped mountain, the flesh and blood wriggling all over the body under the heavy armor of the general made a voice: "Only by ascending can we save this world!" ”

At the end of the video is a flesh monster that looks extremely terrifying, at first glance it looks like a huge octopus, with many flesh tentacles, but if you look closely, you will find that it seems to be a conglomerate of many monsters, each tentacle looks like a giant snake of various types, an elephant trunk or a tail, and several of the tentacles hold huge weapons, launching attacks endlessly.

At the top of the flesh monster, a small head can be faintly seen, but it is difficult to tell whether it is a human or a beast.

The sound of clanging sounded, and the young man in the tattered robe quickly swung the iron sword in his hand, blocking all the endless attacks, and sparks flew in the air, which was extremely gorgeous.

Finally, with the last fierce clash of swords, the video also comes to an end.

Two huge art words appeared on the screen: Ascension!

However, around the two artistic characters, faintly visible flashing tiny green characters, it seems that data upload is in progress.
