The game has started, there are absolutely no bugs this time

Chapter 154 This PV is awesome, it's awe-inspiring
"You... could it be that... the destiny, the man that the king spoke of..."

After the fierce battle, the wolf demon Guangzhi, who was still unknown at the moment, fell to the ground and could not get up. His weapon was stuck aside and was taken away by the man of destiny and put into his ear.

"You put your weapon in your ear, and you still say you're not the Great Sage?"

Details: The monkey will shake its head after the magic weapon is stored in its ear.

"Don't just stuff random things into your ears."

"Can I change my weapon to a knife in this game?"

"Not only weapons, there's another form in the lower right corner. It should be this monster. I have an idea."

"Transformation system?"

"Wasn't the previous Golden Cicada already a transformation system? That one was for stealth, and this one is a wolf demon transformation, which might be for combat."

"Is there a possibility of seventy-two transformations?"

"That's too much."

In fact, the system of transforming into a golden cicada was basically deleted in the official game in the previous life. At that time, there was an obvious countdown for the golden cicada transformation time in the lower left corner of the earliest PV, and the destined man transformed into a golden cicada twice in the first actual PV. It was an active skill.

It is not clear why this was deleted after the official version, so the Earth God just demonstrated it briefly once, and the protagonist himself could not actively transform into a golden cicada.

Instead, there is the white fox from Xiaoxitian who has a similar stealth skill setting.

At first, Gu Meng didn't understand. There was definitely no technical difficulty in making something like this. As the earliest demonstration, the Black Wind Mountain Golden Cicada was basically done. Deleting the Golden Cicada's mechanism might be because players were afraid of skipping classes. But the final boss couldn't be escaped, and if you couldn't beat the monster, you still had to go back and make up for it. There were even many people who needed to level up.
When Gu Meng played to Xiao Xitian, he was even more confused by the mechanism of the white fox.

Afterwards, I recalled Huangfengling and was lost in thought. When I reached Huoyan Mountain, I suddenly understood that if the big iron ball could fly, the threat would be greatly reduced.

Moreover, if you can fly, looting will be much more convenient. The map design concept and the hatred mechanism of monsters also need to be changed, so only in maps like Huaguoshan can players fly relatively freely.

Gu Meng still decided to add the transformation into a golden cicada. It would be enough to just kill the monsters on the terrain and block the monsters in the underworld. There was no need to make things difficult for everyone and make them die many times at the hands of the monsters. The boss couldn't escape anyway. As for the level mechanism, on the one hand, you can add an air wall... No, the air wall is too rigid. You must not add an air wall to ensure the freedom of the players.

It is designed so that insects like the cicada cannot fly too high. The highest altitude they can reach is about the same as the protagonist's second jump. If they fly higher, they will quickly become exhausted and return to their original form.

In terms of maps, the first time Game Science did it, it did have some flaws, probably because the workload was too heavy. The Black Wind Mountain map in the first chapter was very good for guidance, and it was completely different from the Flower and Fruit Mountain in the sixth chapter, which was several times larger.

With the enhanced SSR Guangzhi Guangmai in hand, the new SSR Momo card, and the powerful optimization backed up by Tongzi, Gu Meng feels that he can do things more freely.

You Xuan and everyone can also feel that Gu Meng attaches great importance to this work. In the past, if Gu Meng started a big work, he would first propose the concept and outline, then arrange the parts, and then let everyone play on their own, and finally finish and integrate it. Now Gu Meng prepares more and more detailed things in the early stage, and he pays more attention to it.

Gu Meng: That’s right. In the past, I copied small and medium-sized games by myself, relying on Brother Tongzi to add basic materials. This is the first time that I have purely copied a major work from my previous life, and I’m afraid it will be the only time.

The Black Myth is his obsession that he cannot let go of. Of course, he has many more ideas and thoughts. This is the feeling of standing on the shoulders of giants.

……

After defeating the first boss Guangzhi, in the PV, Tianmingren used the transformation into a golden cicada to avoid the blue big-headed monster with its eyes closed.

'Who is to blame for this?'

"I don't know, he seems to be a monk."

"He looks weak, won't the protagonist fight him?"

"It should be a demonstration of how to use the transformation skill to circumvent the alert value."

A small-looking big-headed monster passed by, and a quick whisper came from underground:

(Voice from underground): "Little monkey, you've disturbed the goblins here. Be very careful when you go forward!"

Little Demon (calling from a distance): "Hurry, hurry, hurry, follow me!"

(Voice from underground): "Little monkey, come here, here, here, look here!"

Arriving at the Earth Temple, where white smoke was billowing, the Earth God (in the form of a hunchbacked old man) emerged from the ground, twirling his beard and smiling:

"I am from the land of Black Wind Mountain and have been waiting for you here for a long time."

'Monkey Brother's Exclusive Tour Guide: Earth God'

"Old man, please show yourself quickly."

'Looks like a sprouted potato'

"In the later stages, can the golden cudgel make the ground appear on the spot when it hits it?"

"Dubbing is OK, it's really OK"

"This old man is a ginseng spirit, right? Look at the red rope tied around his feet."

"This head of the Earth God is so uncomfortable for me because of my obsessive-compulsive disorder."

He studied the protagonist's face with a complicated expression: "Resemble, really resemble."

"Do you think I look like a government official?"

"God of Land, do you think I look like Daniel Wu?"

"God of Land, do you think I look like a graduate student?"

"Grandpa, do I look like someone who has won three gold medals in a row?"

After the land sighed with emotion, it pointed to the ruined temple in the distance.

The Earth God sighs: "Further ahead is the Guanyin Temple, which was also very popular in the past. It's a pity that it was destroyed by a fire. Well, later on, the temple was rebuilt. But if people's hearts are burned away, what's the point of repairing a dilapidated temple?"

"That fire probably refers to the burning of Guanyin Temple in Journey to the West, which means the timeline is after Journey to the West."

'Burning (Dog Head) Again'

The land god turned into smoke and disappeared after saying this, leaving behind a lingering voice: "I'll go ahead! We'll meet again when you pass the plank road ahead—"

'It's underground'

"It seems that the protagonist is indeed not Wukong. Which land would not call Sun Wukong the Great Sage when seeing him?"

Then the protagonist walked to the cliff path, demonstrated his parkour somersaults, and then defeated a group of wolf monsters.

The God of Land appeared again, looking nervous:

The God of Land (lowering his voice): "Hush—be quiet, or you might startle the big dog!"

A beast growls in the distance, the camera zooms in, and the door is half-closed:

The Earth God said, "That fellow in the backyard is Black Wind Monster's Taoist friend, calling himself Lingxuzi. With your current level of cultivation... this is bad! Little monkey, run away quickly, there's still time."

The protagonist walked forward with a stick in hand. The Earth God said: "If you enter this door, there is no turning back!"

'Translation: Remember to save before entering'

'If you don't come back once you leave, you won't come back once you leave'

If we go back now, will there be a doge?

"I guess once you enter the boss room, there's really no turning back."

After entering the door, there is of course a boss battle. The demon king Lingxuzi comes out from the wall, attacks in the form of a giant wolf, looking down from above, sweeping with his sharp claws!
The protagonist dodged and jumped to the side. Lingxuzi was huge and infinite, destroying the battlefield at will. There are usually more interactive scenes in the parallel world, and the version made by Gu Meng is no exception. The terrain can leave traces.

During the fierce battle, the protagonists used the immobilization technique respectively.

"The great demons here have higher cultivation than the other small demons, so the time it takes to settle is shorter."

Perform the hair clone technique.

'This is so cool, brothers, come and help me!'

After a burst of output, he was also injured by Lingxuzi's group.

Switch to vertical chopping with a standing stick.

"Telescopic stick, this is a cool move."

'How many action routines are there on the PC?'

"I'm wondering what kind of equipment will be dropped if I defeat this big boss."

"I feel like this monster looks much stronger than the previous big-head monsters."

"This game shouldn't be that difficult, I feel like Lingxuzi might be very strong. Is the person demonstrating it a high-level player?"

"By the way, what's it like to be in a supernatural battle in a stealth game? My previous experiences weren't very good."

"I feel like the boss isn't very aggressive. Is it possible that this boss is actually quite weak? If I hadn't lost so much health when I started playing, I might have already won?"

'Impossible, absolutely impossible'

"Just now, the old landowner warned us that this monster is unbeatable. I guess it's just too strong. It's one of those monsters that doesn't look strong but is incredibly annoying to fight."

"It's fluffy and cute, but I think I'll be tortured and cry if that happens."

'It seems you can also switch postures. Notice that the monkey icon in the lower right corner will change.'

'It's my turn, I'll do a sliding tackle'

"I'm a time traveler. This game finally broke Mr. Gu's winning streak and won the Game of the Year award."

In the PV, the protagonist was running out of health and felt that he could not defeat Lingxuzi anymore. At this moment,

Guangzhi, transform!
The armor merged! The passionate suona sounded.

In his bgm, no one can beat him.

'Aoaoao suona suona'

"The sound of the suona is so tragic!"

'Help me, Mr. Guangzhi!'

Lingxuzi: It's broken, the boss is in the second stage.

"Fuck, I got scared after seeing the fire. Details!"

'Classic hairy weak fire'

'It's on fire'

It really caught fire, Lingxuzi was already on fire.

"Okay, okay, today I want to talk to you about what Buddhism is."

'Lingxuzi is retreating'

"Listen carefully, there's a sound when the bell here is hit by the wolf demon."

'That's a cool walk!'

'Its slowness is like a forest, its aggression is like fire!'

"The boss has changed from a strong offensive stance to a weak one."

"Once the suona comes on, the feeling is completely different!"

"This part is really amazing, it's top-notch on PC, the movements can be described as smooth and flowing!"

'Walking in the garden is so cool'

"Why is a little Guangzhi so handsome? How can I be handsome after him? Isn't the protagonist of this game Sun Wukong?"

"Wake up, the previous hints are obvious. The protagonist is not Sun Wukong, but the man of destiny."

Finally, Lingxuzi's health bar was emptied after being repeatedly ignited and he fell to the ground.

The protagonist turned and walked towards Lingxuzi, pulling out the iron rod from his ear.

'I've watched this clip countless times. It's so cool. WTF?'

The traveler reached into his ear and pulled out an embroidery needle. He shook it in the wind and it turned out to be an iron rod, as thick as a bowl.

'Main film begins'

'Huge nuclear energy ahead!'

"Everyone stand up!!!"

"You may be handsome, but I may be poor. When I have money, I will definitely buy you a luxury infiltration device!"

'High energy ahead'

'Monkey Brother! Monkey Brother!? ?'

The attack of the man of destiny was blocked.

It is also an iron rod, and when the camera looks up, there are small words - Ruyi Jingu Bang!

There is also a monkey opposite.

"He wears chainmail golden armor, a phoenix-wing purple-gold crown on his head, lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes on his feet, and holds a golden cudgel in his hand."

'This is the Great Sage'

'I couldn't hold back my tears when I saw the Monkey King'

"In the original novel, the words engraved on the golden cudgel are Ruyi Jingu Bang, weighing 13,500 jin."

"Honestly, I'm not only looking forward to the game, but also the story."

"Big Brother is so handsome!!"

After that, other bosses were shown, along with the awesome Black Myth theme song BGM.

To be honest, the first version of the PV included the protagonist who was suspected of being cursed and wandering around in Huaguo Mountain on vines. The original Wang Lingguan should have had a bird head and a spear, and it was probably because the modeling was not completed.

There are also some other scenes used to demonstrate the atmosphere, such as the protagonist of normal size facing the extremely huge images of the Four Heavenly Kings, while he rides on the somersault cloud and there is a white dragon flying in the mountains at the same time. These are the things that we have in mind about the Monkey King, and they are all shown through PV.

This made Gu Meng think about how to integrate as much as possible. Should he make the Monkey King's obsession into a level of time travel to reproduce what the Monkey King saw at that time, which would be a good opportunity to add the Monkey King's rampage in Heaven?

The protagonist in the picture is also unparalleled in heaven.

"The Four Heavenly Kings appeared, blocking out the sky and the sun. The oppressive feeling was too strong."

'This scene is well done.'

'Can my 8090 handle it without dropping frames?'

"Everyone is using the Somersault Cloud. Isn't Little White Dragon good enough?"

'Famous scene: Sun Wukong makes havoc in Heaven'

"It can let me wreak havoc in Heaven, or even let me experience it through a stealth game. I'll buy it no matter how much it costs."

"Forget about the money, even if I die, it's worth it."

'This soundtrack and the visuals just blew my mind, it's amazing, it's amazing'

'A real fight between gods'

"This is the Great Sage who caused havoc in Heaven and was not afraid of gods or Buddhas."

"Look, there are frame drops. Frame drops mean this isn't fake, this is a real game."

"What are you thinking? This is gaming metaphysics, it can't be false advertising."

'Invincible among a hundred thousand troops, majestic in the ninth heaven!'

"The suona sent me away, and the blood in my heart rushed straight to the top of my head!"

'I want to play this game now'

The last big move cleared out the enemies, and the sound echoed in the clouds with astonishing momentum.

"The golden monkey raised his mighty stick and cleared the sky of dust!"

Finally, the official name of the game is "Black Myth: Wukong"

At the same time, the sound was the storyteller humming the prelude to "The Swift Sound of the Cloud Palace".

'I feel like crying'

'Please make it more expensive, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable (doge)'

'Now that there is a PC version, I hope it can be released on PS'

There are no big words in "Re-journey to the West after the White Bones". Gu Meng is not familiar with Fighting God, so as a tribute to his previous life, he added this line of words in an inconspicuous place on the lower left of the big words "Wukong" in Black Myth. It is smaller than the words in the officially authorized description of "Cloud Palace Swift Sound".

As for how the outside world interprets these eight words, Gu Meng has no idea.

On the contrary, they don’t know that Gu Meng is a time traveler, so they can probably only do some reading comprehension and forced interpretation.

Or they might think that the White Tiger Ridge, a small teaching level that Gu Meng was going to add, was a checkpoint, so it was called "Retracing the Journey to the West After the White Bones"... It was likely that they would really think too much about it, after all, it was written at the end of the PV.

Then Gu Meng should satisfy them and ask Brother Tongzi to add more easter eggs in the White Bone Demon level.

……

The dog master has already started to do reading comprehension, and he wants to interpret this PV repeatedly, especially the various scenes after the Monkey King appears at the end, and analyze them frame by frame:

"Mr. Gu opened the film with a suspenseful narration, suggesting that the story of Journey to the West might not be entirely true. The whole film feels like a dark world steeped in Eastern mythology..."

"...The demonstration focused on the battle with the giant boss Lingxuzi...emphasizing action skills and strategy, precise dodging, combo connection, and environmental interaction..."

"...showcasing Sun Wukong's iconic skills, such as the Seventy-Two Transformations, the ability to clone himself, and the Immobilization Technique, which are highly consistent with our impression..."

"Also, the final title and those bosses. Black Myth is clearly going for some kind of subversive adaptation. Wukong should refer to Sun Wukong as the core. It could also represent the beginning of the universe, when there was no one name. Breaking through the stubborn darkness requires Wukong..."

"From the information I've received, it seems that Mr. Gu is very committed to this game. The PV effects really made me stand up. I'm not worried about the quality of the game. The only problem is that the release date has not yet been determined."

"Mr. Gu has changed. In the past, when he released a PV, it meant that the official version of the game would be released soon. This time, I heard that it is still in the works."

"Huh? What the hell is this being produced?"

"Doesn't Master Dog have a specific time?"

'I feel like there are cockroaches all over my body.'

'My brother is in the hospital and wants to play Black Monkey before he dies. Please, I will do anything (dog head)'
