This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 282 - 187: The Starting Point of the Path of Evolution

Chapter 282: Chapter 187: The Starting Point of the Path of Evolution

"Global Evolution" is an open-world game, and since it’s open-world, players have a considerable degree of freedom.

Guo Mo has already felt it.

Power!

These two words convey everything the game wants to express; as long as you have enough power, players can do virtually anything they want in the game.

Safe zone?

The purpose of setting up safe zones is to protect the weak. If you are strong enough to ignore the guards of this base city and the strong human protectors, the safe zone is essentially non-existent.

A strong power can lead people to lose themselves, which is commonly referred to as "going astray"!

The main character, Chen Yun, is actually a presence walking the edge between light and darkness.

Players can turn him into a saint or a demon, become the pillar of the human race, or become its disgrace.

The main storyline is definitely advancing in the direction of becoming the human protector, but the staff told Guo Mo that the game has more than one ending.

The overall direction of the plot indeed develops towards "becoming the guardian deity of humans," but throughout this process, different player choices will lead to varied outcomes.

In other words...

The protagonist is destined to become the number one powerhouse of the human race, no matter which path they take; their identity determines they will certainly reach the pinnacle.

Then the question arises!

If the morality of the number one powerhouse of the human race is high, they can become the guardian deity, but if their morality is low, can they not become the guardian deity?

The answer is yes!

In a worldview where power is supreme and the weak are prey to the strong, as long as players possess sufficiently powerful strength, the endings might differ slightly, but ultimately they lead to the same result.

"I can’t do such things..."

Even though the bullet screen urged Guo Mo to use any means necessary to become stronger, Guo Mo has his own principles and ideas.

He believes, even in playing games, one should have their own bottom line and not do things that make them feel disgusted.

Just play honestly.

Though honest people surely improve their strength slower than those who use unscrupulous means, at least their strength is acquired with a clear conscience.

In the future, as the guardian deity of the human race, they won’t feel as if sitting in that position is burning their behind.

"Haha!"

Guo Mo’s serious gaming demeanor was also caught by Chen Ba, who was stealthily watching his live stream. He asked Lu beside him, "How would you evaluate him?"

"No comment!"

Lu said speechlessly, "He reminds me of those players in GTA5 who pick up robbery missions but wait patiently at red lights along the way."

You say he abides by the law; he picked up robbery missions...

You say he doesn’t follow rules; he still stops for traffic lights during missions!

Such people, who play games somewhat seriously, feel like they’re not on the same channel as everyone else.

In reality, there’s no need to maintain such a high moral standard throughout "Global Evolution," as Guo Mo does; the plot has already hinted at it.

History is written by the victors!

As long as the protagonist Chen Yun reaches the peak and becomes the strongest, whatever he does is considered right; even if he did many bad things during his rise, nobody would dare mention them.

In such a way, Guo Mo seems rather cute and quirky.

"Not to discuss this for now..."

Exiting Guo Mo’s live stream, Chen Ba said with a heavy expression, "During today’s trial activity, did any game bugs appear?"

"Yes!"

"In the game, when a vehicle crashes into another vehicle, it can cause one of them to rocket into the sky..."

Lu explained his discovery.

This vehicle bug is actually quite funny; during the test earlier, he tried it too and found it really impressive.

After the collision, the vehicle can even fly up to the cloud level, easily reaching tens of thousands of meters in-game, truly beyond expectations.

"This problem isn’t big, just fix it."

Chen Ba waved his hand, "I mean, are there any subtle bugs that could potentially impact the overall game environment?"

"We haven’t really found any."

"I see..."

Chen Ba thought for a moment, given that over 200 testers couldn’t find any, Tianba Studio probably won’t find any either.

In this case, there’s nothing more to say.

Considering the game’s development progress, Chen Ba mused, "National Day seems a bit rushed, let’s schedule the release for November!"

It’s currently late July.

There’s still a full four months until November—a quarter’s time; it shouldn’t be difficult to polish and perfect "Global Evolution" with its current level of completion.

Tianba Engine has saved a lot of time, plus the Iron Fool system’s code optimization and reconstruction have made the entire development process exceptionally rapid.

Moreover...

In terms of actual costs, "Global Evolution" is really a "disgrace to AAA."

The reason is simple; the development cost of "Global Evolution" is nowhere near as high as other AAA games, estimated at only around twenty to thirty million US Dollars.

If this cost and timeline were shared, people probably wouldn’t believe it’s a AAA game...

Precisely because of this.

Chen Ba has exaggerated the cost of "Global Evolution" in interviews with media and responses to player inquiries, always claiming to have invested close to a billion dollars in this game.

Whether others believe it or not, somewhat exaggerating the cost is necessary; otherwise, with such low costs yet priced like other AAA games, players would surely feel uncomfortable.

...

The trial activity was a great success.

Various media and game streamers went back and enthusiastically praised "Global Evolution."

In an instant, the already exaggerated popularity seemed poised to break beyond boundaries.
