The Xia Xia was a big gaming country, but it was a desert of original game creation!
The Xia Xia had many world-class gamers, but the Xia Xia did not have any world-class games.
Even the hot-blooded Legend of the Xia Xia was only a Nan Chao game.
The Xia Xia game had never received such a strong response from all over the world!
Now, many Taiwanese media outlets were reporting that the Xia Xia company was going to invest tens of millions of US dollars to create a world-class game.
How could the Xia Xia gamers not be excited?
The Xia Xia company finally had hope to create a world-class game.
The Xia Xia gaming forum, Vagrant Starry Sky, had already reported on the mysterious company's investment of tens of millions of US dollars!
As one of the top gaming forums in the Xia Xia, Vagrant Starry Sky had gathered a lot of popularity.
In the "Mysterious Game" section, there were all kinds of posts discussing the game. Within half an hour, there were more than 10,000 posts.
Most of the posts replied with praises such as "Mighty Xia!", "The Xia Xia is the new hope of the gaming industry!", "The Savior of Gaming!", etc.
There were also a few discussion threads that contained real information. For example, the famous super player 'Mu Feng' in the gaming world had written a lengthy article discussing the matter.
Mu Feng's article rationally discussed the authenticity of the Taiwanese news and the possible identity of the mysterious company.
"... I believe everyone has already heard about the mysterious company's investment of tens of millions of US dollars to create a world-class game from the Taiwanese media outlets.
The slogan shouted by the mysterious investor was at least at the level of The Elder Scrolls 4, Cell Division: Double Spy, Neverwinter Nights 2, and Hell's Gate: London, the four top standalone games in the world.
The Elder Scrolls 4 costs 8 million US dollars to develop, and Cell Division: Double Spy costs 7.8 million US dollars to develop. The other two games cost a lot as well. "
"... Since the mysterious company is going to invest 10 million US dollars, we have reason to believe that the Xia Xia company will be able to create a world-class game.
However, having the capital does not mean that the company will be able to create a world-class game.
A world-class game still needs strong technical support.
Based on the current information, they did not know if the mysterious investor had the relevant technology.
Anyway, neither the Fanatic Creations Group nor Yuquan International have such technical strength. "
"... From the amount of capital the mysterious investor has and the news reported by the Taiwanese media, the mysterious investor is going to set up a new subsidiary company to be in charge of game development and game operations. This shows that the mysterious investor was not originally from the gaming industry.
Based on this information, we first excluded all the well-known game manufacturers, whether it's Penguin, Perfect International, Cyberspace, or Giant. All of them are excluded. "
'… This humble servant has obtained some real information from an insider. Although the mysterious investor is from the mainland of Xia Country, the parent company of the investor is an offshore company and not a company from our Da Xia Country.
Combined with this situation, we'll set our sights on various powerful offshore companies. "
"… After a simple investigation, we finally locked onto the list of three offshore companies.
First, Ares Entertainment Co., Ltd. This company is mainly active in the Xia Xia Internet and provides network agent services. It provides support and services for Xia Xia players to log into overseas game servers. It also acts as an agent for the purchase and sales of many overseas online games.
The total assets of Ares Entertainment Co., Ltd. is about 12 million US dollars, so the possibility of this company is not high. "
"The second suspect is Mirui Technology Co., Ltd. This company is mainly active in Shuangqing City, Xia Xia. It currently has YM Medical Co., Ltd., Immortal Painting Co., Ltd., and Fantasy Technology Co., Ltd. The registered capital of these three subsidiaries is 2 million US dollars. The total assets of the parent company are unknown.
However, Fantasy Technology Co., Ltd., made at least 100 million RMB in the hacker war between Voisin and Xia Xia with a virus killing tool.
The possibility of this company is medium. "
"The final suspect is also the most suspicious one. The famous Lemei Entertainment, headquartered in Hong Kong, Xia Xia. They are involved in many fields, including movies, TV series, music, literature, publishing, news, plays, traditional stage plays, and so on. They are a big shot in the entertainment industry.
Last year, the company came up with the concept of pan-entertainment, adapting their works into movies, TV series, or games.
Based on this analysis, Lemei Entertainment is a major suspect. They have a lot of capital and abundant resources. It is very likely that they are the mysterious investor.
Although they are the capital of Hong Kong, most of their business is concentrated in the mainland of Xia Xia. They can also be considered a mainland company. "
The analysis of the super player Mu Feng was clear and logical. Under the discussion of many players, it seemed that the mysterious investor was Lemei Entertainment in Hong Kong.
Although Mirui Technology Co., Ltd was also on the list of suspects, the total assets of Mirui Technology Co., Ltd were unknown, and their reputation was quite low. Other than Fantasy Technology Co., Ltd, there were no other highlights. It was understandable that it was difficult to attract attention.
Of course, there were also some people who stubbornly believed that it was Mirui Technology. Their reason was very simple. That was, Mirui Technology's Fantasy Technology Company had powerful computer technology. It was possible that they had very advanced technology, so they wanted to enter the game industry.
Shi Lei naturally did not know about the discussion on the major gaming forums in Xia Xia. He was using the Virtual Graphics Processing Software to create a promotional poster for the mysterious game.
The Virtual Graphics Processing Software could directly fabricate images on the basis of pixel level.
Although it was very slow to produce, the overall production speed was acceptable if one was familiar with it and had the support of a supercomputer.
For the sake of the game that was about to be born, Shi Lei could be said to be working hard, personally on the front line.
The performance of the hotel's computer was not good. Shi Lei could only use the hotel's computer to access the first server, then from the first server to the graphics workstation, and then to the second server. He used the second server's excellent performance to help process the huge amount of image data.
After busying himself until midnight, Shi Lei finally completed the first promotional poster.
The poster was very exquisite. The overall scene was under the moonlight at night in a vast bamboo forest. A man in black armor and holding a long sword stood on top of a bent bamboo.
This man in black armor was angular, with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows. His resolute face was stern.
He raised the long sword in his right hand. The sword was hazy with a layer of faint green light. That was the sword aura in Wuxia novels!
Below the bamboo forest, a three-meter long giant wolf looked at the man in black armor on top of the bamboo ferociously. This giant wolf was completely black, without a single strand of mixed hair.
A man and a beast, one tall and one short, faced each other!
If it was just a poster like this, although it would have some stunning effects, it would definitely not cause a sensation.
However, how could a poster made by Shi Lei only have such effects?
The Virtual Graphics Processing Software could start from the pixel level of the image and adjust the situation of each pixel to form the image that one wanted.
The real mystery of this poster was that all the images were very real. There were no traces of computer synthesis. Instead, it was as if the scene was completely real.
The verdant bamboo forest, the bright moonlight, the man in black armor's serious eyes, and the faint green sword aura on the three-foot long sword were also very real!
It was as if there was a layer of sword aura and not a computer's post-production special effects!
The three-meter long giant wolf's ferocious eyes were vivid. The black fur on its body was so fine that one could even feel the strong and powerful muscles under the fur.
Its mouth was baring its fangs, its sharp fangs, and the saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth were undoubtedly proof that this giant wolf was a real existence and not a simulated special effect!
The entire poster, everything looked so real. It was as if the man in black armor and the giant wolf were really facing each other in the bamboo forest under the moonlight.
Due to the use of Ultra HD technology, the size of the poster reached 7680 * 4320, which was four times the resolution of 1920 * 1080.Full.Hd.
When it was expanded to the highest resolution, one could even see the withered and rotten bamboo leaves under the giant wolf's claws, as well as the strands of wolf fur.
However, the size of the poster was close to 80 MB!
Shi Lei marked the poster with the watermark "Made in 10 million USD, definitely a premium game" and logged into the Wanderer Starry Sky website.
Originally, Shi Lei was still thinking about where to post it on Wanderer Starry Sky. However, just as he logged into Wanderer Starry Sky, Shi Lei saw Wanderer Starry Sky's recommendation for the mysterious game's discussion section on the homepage. Shi Lei smiled and entered the discussion section.
Then, he registered a username called "Insider of the Mysterious Game" and uploaded the poster without compressing it at all. He also posted a post.
"Unreleased promotional poster of the mysterious game, risking my life to upload, please support me!"
"… This poster is a piece of insider information obtained by bribing an insider. I risked my life to post it for everyone to enjoy.
After looking at the poster, he was filled with anticipation for the mysterious game.
In the end, I ask weakly, are you sure this is not a poster for a blockbuster movie?
Is it really a poster for the game? "
