Chapter 145
: The Birth of Spiritual Travel
Regarding this game featuring Lilith herself as the protagonist, Lilith plans to develop it into a AAA title similar to The Elder Scrolls, Assassin's Creed, and Red Dead Redemption.
He even imagined the huge sensation the game would cause worldwide after its release—just thinking about it is a little exciting!
However, the imagination was far from reality. Lilith knew nothing about building a game framework. She finally found a game tutorial, but when she looked at the progress bar, it took about seven hours.
Just seeing this progress bar made Lilith feel dizzy. She definitely wouldn't do coding herself, since with Amelia as her maid, there was no need for her to do it personally.
And so, under Lilith's orders, Amelia patiently watched the tutorial for a full seven hours, and spent two days without eating or drinking, finally creating a game prototype.
After the game was completed, Lilith couldn't wait to become the first player. After playing it for a while, she found that the game was far from the AAA masterpiece she had imagined.
It was a pixelated game with incredibly rudimentary graphics, mediocre combat effects, mediocre art style, and mediocre gameplay. After playing it, Lilith's assessment was:
Even by last century standards, this game wouldn't have been anything special, and even if it were released, it would likely have had no more than a hundred subscribers.
However, given their limited technical capabilities, Lilith Games had no choice but to abandon the idea of creating any AAA titles, as that would be time-consuming, laborious, and not necessarily rewarding.
So Lilith ordered Amelia to adjust the details of the game, and she began to write the background story for the game.
Although the game is a simple pixel game, the story background is anything but simple. It involves religion, faith, wars that have lasted for thousands of years in hundreds of countries, and a series of other impressive-sounding elements. In short, it's all about being as awesome as possible.
And so, a masterpiece with a background spanning the multiverse and an endless empire was born. Lilith even gave it a special name—My Multiverse, which immediately overshadowed My World.
After the game was created, Lilith couldn't wait to use the permissions she had obtained from the main god to start searching for the "My Multiverse" world in order to install the game's mods. However, after searching for a long time, she couldn't find any information about the game.
Lilith was stunned for a moment:
"This shouldn't be the case. Logically, these game and comic content should become an independent world after they are created, so why can't I find my multiverse?"
Lilith was very puzzled, her mind filled with "why?", when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her, and she realized:
Those comics or games that can become independent worlds all have extremely high popularity. If we compare each world to a commodity, only the popular ones will be left behind. Otherwise, should a primary school student's doodles also be called a world?
After figuring this out, Lilith couldn't help but call herself a genius, and then she started to ask Amelia to put the game, called "My Multiverse," on the gaming platform.
After that, we waited for the game to become a huge hit...
2017 was a golden age for game reviews, with a plethora of game review bloggers emerging. While they weren't very friendly to some rough games, they also brought many little-known games to light.
Sea Cucumber Bro is a new game review blogger with a following of up to two thousand. However, his follower count has stagnated recently, which is causing him great anxiety.
To break out of this bottleneck, Brother Sea Cucumber decided to find a controversial game and make a review video, preferably a small game that seems insignificant but is actually of high quality.
In this way, he might become a discoverer of niche masterpieces and thus soar to great heights.
Just thinking about it made Sea Cucumber Bro perk up. He quickly sat up straight, his eyes following the mouse wheel as he selected and rejected games one by one. Soon after, Sea Cucumber Bro found a game called "My Multiverse," and judging from the release date, it was today.
"Oh? My Multiverse? Looks like some kind of hardcore game?"
Driven by curiosity, Sea Cucumber Bro clicked into the game and was immediately struck by several gorgeous CG images: ancient city walls stretching for light-years in the starry sky, and a black sun that seemed to obscure the sky like a natural disaster. Sea Cucumber Bro was dazzled by them.
He immediately gasped, after all, he had never seen such a stunning CG image before.
"My goodness, is this really a game that could be made in this day and age? It feels a bit unreal."
Brother Sea Cucumber sighed, then his gaze shifted to the game's description, where he saw:
In an ancient city-state surrounded by countless colossal structures in the void, the king's crown rests on the child's head. All you have to do is pave the way for the king's growth...
Upon seeing this introduction, Sea Cucumber Bro was even more astonished. At this moment, he had already envisioned a grand epic in his mind: a decadent empire that had stood for millennia, regaining its glory under the protagonist's leadership. His eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't wait to click to download.
As the game download progress bar drew closer, Sea Cucumber Bro's excitement grew. He could already imagine himself as the first blogger to discover this kind of online gaming, his fame soaring, breaking 100,000 followers in a day, and becoming a top blogger with tens of millions of followers across the entire internet in ten days.
At that time, GG will be overwhelmed with offers from various companies, and he can easily marry a rich and beautiful woman, become a CEO, and reach the pinnacle of life!
"hey-hey……"
Sea Cucumber Bro had drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, but his infatuated state quickly vanished with the game's completion notification sound.
"Let me be the first to try it!"
Sea Cucumber Bro took a deep breath, stared at the four big words "Start Game" for a while, and then moved the mouse to click on it.
Upon entering the game, the screen is first filled with white light, followed by a burst of upbeat music. The game screen slowly appears, and just as Sea Cucumber Bro's excitement reaches its peak, an ordinary pixelated game screen of a cosmic city emerges.
Upon seeing this scene, Sea Cucumber Bro was stunned for a few seconds. He wondered if he was hallucinating because he was too excited. He closed his eyes, rubbed them, and when he opened them again, the scene remained unchanged.
Surprisingly, Sea Cucumber Bro didn't lose his temper. He simply exited the game quickly, typed "Trash" in the comments, left the room, went to the balcony, and lit a cigarette...
In the Hōsei Palace, Amelia, who had been sitting by the computer, suddenly heard a notification sound. Looking over, she saw that someone had commented on their game, and she was overjoyed.
"Boss, look! Someone has reviewed our game!"
"Really? Really?"
Lilith rushed over, her eyes glued to the screen with excitement. But when Amelia opened the message, the word "trash" exploded in their minds like a thunderbolt, leaving them both frozen in shock...
