Reborn Game Pioneer

Chapter 61 Exploding Word of Mouth!
Clivia and Gu Lan were also trying out "Monument Valley" in the dormitory at this time, and Gu Feng sent them the installation package early in the morning.

After playing two chapters, they all became very interested in this game with beautiful painting style and crude levels.

In just two levels, Monument Valley fully demonstrates its distinctive and unique gameplay.

After entering Chapter 3, the game has another mechanism, a platform that can be dragged vertically.

At this level, Clivia saw another novel design.

When you drag a platform down, the platform next to it will rise accordingly.

Just drag it to a fixed position to dock the two platforms together, and you can walk from one side to the other.

The charm of Monument Valley began to show slowly in the game. Whenever you are surprised that it can still be like this, the designer will bring new surprises to the next place.

Just like in Chapter 4, the appearance of the Penrose triangle is amazing. The plane change causes the girl to stand on the vertical wall like flying over the eaves and walking on the wall, which makes people exclaim "Is this okay?". The visual dislocation caused by the change in perspective makes the two The splicing together of platforms that were originally separated by a distance is even more incredible.

Monument Valley's superb design and superb use of space and vision soon completely conquered them.

Not only them, the mobile game area of ​​the Chuxin Experience Store is now several times more lively than before.

Looking around, the limited seats are already full of customers, and everyone is trying to play new games in the experience store.

Behind them, more or less onlookers gathered.

The entire mobile game area has changed from the past, where there were mostly girls and the leisurely and beautiful style, and there were bursts of exclamations from time to time.

"Damn it! This nima is also okay?"

"Fuck! How did you do this?"

“This design is so awesome!”

"Damn, I even suspect that my eyes are fake."

"The Dream God is awesome!"

Wen Meng stood in an inconspicuous place and watched this scene with a smile. The love and praise from the players was the greatest affirmation for the game designer.

The content of the third chapter is not as much as that of the first two chapters. She did not want her design to lower the level of the entire game. During the design process, she not only consulted a large number of information on spatial geometry, spatial aesthetics, and visual illusions. In terms of information, I specifically asked Lu Yu for a lot of advice.

In addition, she still had so many levels of experience to draw from in the first two chapters, so she finally fulfilled her mission and completed the design of the third chapter. Although this chapter only has five small chapters, the quality is not bad.

When Dead Cells was tested in the experience store, although the reviews were good, it had little spread online.

Monument Valley immediately showed a completely different look as soon as it was put into closed beta testing. In just three days, word spread on the Internet that a new game called "Monument Valley" was released in the Chuxin Experience Store.

Regarding the description of this game, the most mentioned word by people who have played it is - absolutely!

Even before it was officially released, Monument Valley was already extremely popular, and it truly became a hit before it was released.

Moreover, the evaluations of these people who have tried it are even more exaggerated.

Some say this is a true masterpiece.

Some say this is a game that can truly be called art.

Some people say that Monument Valley has already locked in the best mobile game of 2022 in advance.

Some people say this is the most magnificent masterpiece of spatial aesthetics.

The one-sided praise inevitably makes people suspect that this is a fake job.

But when you click on these people's updates and personal information, you can clearly see that these are ordinary passers-by.

As a result, everyone is looking forward to this mysterious game.

Gu Feng didn't make them wait too long.

On July 7th, Gu Feng released an update, announcing that "Monument Valley" would be officially released on July 5th.

On July 7, "Monument Valley" was officially released online, priced at 8 yuan.

On July 7, Gu Feng released an update and announced the first day data of "Monument Valley".

Monument Valley downloads on the first day: 109 million!
Rating: 9.9!

As soon as this news came out, it shocked the Internet.

We must know that the number of downloads of Happy Match in the first week was only 38, and the number of downloads of Garden Match in the first week set a record for mobile games, with only 102 million.

Now, Monument Valley has directly completed the feat of breaking one million sales in a single day.

It is worth mentioning that the two games are free to download, while Monument Valley requires purchase before downloading.

Converted into running water, it is equivalent to creating more than 2000 million running water in Monument Valley in a single day.

Such a terrifying ability to attract money directly makes other game designers drool.

After being greedy, their first thought was naturally to learn from it, but after playing it in person, they were all dumbfounded.

How to copy this?This is not a roadblock at all!

Whether it is game reviewers or ordinary players, the evaluation of Monument Valley is almost unanimously perfect.

An authoritative game reviewer wrote this.

I have always questioned whether games can truly be called art.

Many games use their excellent quality to convey the creator's thoughts, but those games either use cinematic sound and light to express, or use indifferent but explosive words to express. Strictly speaking, this It is not the art of games, but rather a product that combines other art forms.

But to this day, the birth of Monument Valley makes me have to admit that it is a real gaming treasure and it is a well-deserved work of art.

It has its own unique gameplay, but it will not teach you step by step. Instead, it treats you as a smart person, allowing you to have sufficient space to imagine and discover the admirable and amazing details in the game.

It has a vigorous plot, but it blooms implicitly in the details. In addition to a few extremely short paragraphs of text in the game, more is explained and expressed through the game. The game leaves enough blank space for the player, as if the player himself is AI. Da, when the player opens this game, she herself embarks on this journey of confession.

This game is like nature, it doesn't try to attract you and try to get money out of your pocket.Whether you like it or not, it's there.But as long as you don’t lack the eyes to discover beauty, one day you will see it and have that destined encounter.

A mathematics professor at a university commented:

"Monument Valley is not a simple game, it is the wisdom crystallization of people's exploration of space geometry, it uses many impossible objects to make ordinary people feel the charm of space in the form of games, from the various details of the game. It shows the designer's extremely high attainments in visual art.

From my own perspective, I believe that Monument Valley can be the key to students’ interest in the world of spatial geometry.

In order to express my sincere respect to the designer, I would like to call it a true game art. "

The reputation of Monument Valley has completely exploded under the continuous fermentation. To everyone's surprise, the people who praise Monument Valley the most are not people in the gaming circle, but people in the mathematics and architecture circles.

These guys praise Monument Valley extremely, and use some professional terms that most gamers cannot understand. Naturally, with the blessing of these high-end rainbow farts, Monument Valley is made even more awesome.

To put it in a layman’s terms, this is when the fire breaks out of the circle!
