Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

You will then enter the "Big Pit" area.

This is not only the stage for the second chapter's storyline, but also a deep exploration of open-world gameplay by Spark.

Spark's approach is this: instead of making a large number of maps into places that players will only visit once, they should consider other options.

Not as good as.

Create a smaller, but exquisitely designed stage that will leave players feeling awe.

The giant pit was designed based on this idea.

First, Xinghuo divided the giant crater into sections, with varying depths.

The shallow area is the same as other maps in Galaxy Paradise.

But the Dark Zone is different. The Dark Zone can be roughly understood as The Division's Dark Zone or Tarkov without PVP content.

When players enter the deep zone, the system will automatically generate an exploration package.

In the Deep Zone, everything in your inventory will be dropped upon death. This is the first rule of the Deep Zone: you cannot bring back anything you've explored upon death.

Of course, this rule is not absolute, because you can try to go back to the place where you died.

Secondly, this area is an open area.

The closer you get to the center, the higher the monster's level becomes. Not only their level, but also their aggression and attack methods will continuously increase.

Similarly, the deeper you go...

The better the resources collected.

Each deep zone can accommodate up to 200 players simultaneously for exploration.

In other words.

In the deeper zones, players can interact with each other.

Of course, it's not PVP, and you can't steal other people's packages. The reason Xinghuo released 200 players is to encourage players to fight monsters together.

In fact.

In this area, some monsters require at least seven or eight players to kill.

To attract players.

The Deep Zone is very dangerous, and the penalty for death is losing all your items.

But the things in the deeper areas are better.

Meanwhile, the Deep Zone is also the final point in Spark's player growth curve.

With this tool, a player's growth path can be fully outlined by Spark.

From the moment you enter the game, you complete the storyline all the way to Chapter Two, unlocking a massive pitfall.

At this point, you will encounter an experience lock, and the monsters around you, especially those in the giant pit, will become much stronger in terms of both level and equipment.

Players need to return to the prologue, or Cloudtop Town in Chapter 1, and upgrade their abilities in all aspects through mining, side quests, and monster slaying.

After creating a basic set of equipment.

During this process, players can do countless things: mining, hunting monsters to craft equipment, collecting materials to build a small box for themselves, and searching for unseen monsters to upgrade their exploration experience and complete the leveling up.

Clear all the side quests that were not cleared before, and complete the companion quests for the character you drew.

The next day arrived.

At this point, you're almost ready to take on the giant pit quest.

After completing the main quest in Chapter Two, players will gradually explore to the edge of the Earth's core, and then...

Players learned that to enter the core of the pit, administrator privileges were required, and the game moved into Chapter Three, focusing on how to obtain administrator privileges.

Players will walk out of the giant pit and unlock the next chapter's map at the edge of the pit.

At this point, quick-thinking players will realize that the entire map of "Galaxy Paradise" revolves around the giant pit.

It's like a circle, except there's a big pit in the middle.

Around this circle.

Different maps will have different storylines, but they can all return to the giant pit.

After the end of Chapter Three.

Players can try to enter the deeper areas and continue the cycle, acquiring equipment, leveling up, and mining.

At this point, equipment level and rarity have already been introduced.

At the start of the game, players will notice that although the materials are the same, their grades are different, even though they are both iron ore.

Equipment crafted from white iron ore differs from that crafted from rare golden iron ore.

Besides the different materials, the various BOSS derivatives and weapon and equipment set effects are also completely different.

Players need it.

Continuous exploration.

Meanwhile, Spark added many small details and Easter eggs to the giant pit to unlock the world's secrets.

The entire game.

The only things that require spending money, besides the monthly and small cards, are the characters.

And because equipment, weapons, and levels have been removed.

The roles here.

It's more about skill and weapon compatibility. For example, this character's skills are more suited to swords, while that character's skills are more suited to guns.

However, overall, the handling of each character may be different, but the difference in strength will not be particularly large. In other words, Xinghuo is in the game "Galaxy Paradise".

In addition, the constellation system was completely canceled.

It can be said that in this game, Spark has almost completely abandoned the pay-to-win approach and is targeting the general public.

If this were two years ago...

Even a year ago, when Lin Li made this decision, he didn't have the confidence to back it up.

But then came 2019.

The popularity of the Spark platform and its tens of millions of active players worldwide gave Lin Li the courage.

They dared to take this route.

We believe that Spark's coverage will be high enough.

A product can become a top global product by relying on its quality. Once it becomes a top product, it can still generate good profits even if it reduces the intensity of microtransactions.

Just like Honor of Kings.

This is a very typical example. Putting aside the fact that Honor of Kings lowers the barrier to entry to an extreme and tries to prevent player loss, the game is actually a MOBA simulator.

The ecosystem of Honor of Kings is actually very good. With a large number of players, if each spends 6 yuan, they can dominate the leaderboard.

of course.

This ecosystem can collapse very quickly, as soon as the number of players starts to decline.

In order to maintain profits.

Then the penguins will make their move, but whether that move will be good or bad is unclear.

At last.

Another reason why "Star River Paradise" offers low-spending, high-return gameplay is that the game also shoulders the important responsibility of expanding the Starfire franchise.

Considering the special circumstances of 20.

The entire gaming market will enter a brief period of rapid growth in the future, and whether or not Linli can seize this opportunity is a question that needs to be considered now.

If we can provide these new players with a perfect gaming experience.

The probability of turning them into loyal users will naturally increase.

Time flies.

It was already evening.

It wasn't until his stomach started growling loudly that Zhou Shenlin realized the sky outside had become completely dark.

Chapter 383 Long Street

The campus, where students returned early, was pitch black and eerily quiet.

Want to order takeout?

"Why order takeout? There's nobody at school, who's going to deliver?"

"what is it now?"

"Let's play a little longer, then we'll go out for a late-night snack."

"Okay, let's go out for a late-night snack later."

At 11 p.m., after they had installed Xinghe Paradise on their phones, a group of people climbed out of the dormitory from the balcony on the first floor and sneaked to the back gate of the school.

The school's back gate is a classic iron gate.

Next to the iron gate, there is a low wall.

"I already said I wouldn't fight that monster anymore."

"No, you're the one talking. If you hadn't died so many times, we would have been over long ago."

"That must be because Lao Wang's output is not good."

"Bullshit, I think it's because Boss Zhou's milk is no good."

"If you keep babbling, I, Su Ying, will be the best in the world!"

The four of them climbed over the wall.

They started dividing the food into portions.

The BOSS challenge in "Galaxy Paradise" can be challenged solo or in multiplayer mode. In multiplayer mode, the monster's stats will change.

Consequently, they will acquire more resources.

Originally, it was time for the four of them to start farming for equipment as soon as they began to feel hungry.

After they finished acquiring the equipment, Zhou Shenlin suggested that since they had acquired the equipment and leveled up, it was like forging a sword in ancient times—they should practice using it.

So everyone practiced together, and that's how they've been practicing ever since.

Although the map of Galaxy Paradise in the first two chapters is not large, it is by no means small either, and it is not a bare shell, but a fully furnished house.

There is a lot to explore.

The feedback from its growth is very strong; almost every new monster's dropped materials unlocks a new blueprint.

In order to make a set.

The group scurried over mountains and valleys like locusts, constantly moving from one side to the other, as if the BOSS hadn't been blocking their way.

In addition, they haven't returned to the city yet, their equipment hasn't been upgraded, and most importantly...

From 12:30 pm to 11 pm, after partying for more than 10 hours straight, Lao Wang was so hungry he was feeling dizzy.

If it weren't for Old Wang saying he would die if he didn't eat,

Otherwise, they might still be having fun in "Galaxy Paradise".

that's it.

On the way out, the group was still watching videos and reading guides. By this time, there were already countless guides available on Bilibili.

"What to eat?"

"Where should we eat? All the restaurants outside are closed."

Normally, there would never be a shortage of food near the university gate, but Shen Lin returned to school early this week.

There's no food available outside of school.
