Making Honkai Impact 3rd, am I surrounded by Valkyries?

During this month, the popularity brought by "Dig for the Moon" has made miHoYo earn a lot of money, and now the company has accumulated a considerable amount of funds in its account.

Moreover, after many players completed the game, the reputation of "Dig for the Future" began to change.

From the beginning of "torturing people" and "deliberately disgusting players", it gradually turned into all kinds of strange philosophical debates.

[Dig for the Top is a very good game, it tells us to go home often. 】

[It’s more like performance art than a game. ]

[Actually, this is a game-like version of The Myth of Sisyphus]

[No other game has ever demonstrated the concept of "starting over from the beginning after death" so brilliantly.]

【Perfect physical collision system, excellent feel! Timely and clever voice-over monologues express the player's thoughts, and the unique BGM that sounds every time makes the player excited. The small easter eggs in the process of clearing the level will also make the player exclaim.

The most important thing is immersion!

I believe that every player who has experienced this game for more than five hours can’t help but hear the clanging sound of digging the ground in his dreams.

And when players finally reach the "Winner Chat Room" after going through so much hardship, they can't help but give the game a heartfelt compliment: "Fuck you!"]

There is no doubt that after a large number of players completed the game, they finally understood that "Dig for Ascension" is more than just a game.

Even Walter Yang, the leader of Anti-Entropy Entertainment, couldn't help but admire it.

“The ninth art without a doubt.”

“It looks crudely made, but in fact every level and every detail is carefully designed.”

“Only when you really experience the game and become addicted to it can you discover its connotation.”

"Therefore, I personally take the initiative to nominate this game for the best independent game award on the Houmu Game Platform this year."

However, being nominated is one thing, but whether or not you can win the award is not certain.

But this was enough to make Bronya happy.

"Thank you so much, Su Mu! I never thought that our game would actually be praised by the teacher one day..."

Su Mu also tried to find out some information about Bronya's past from the old employees in the company.

Bronya was once a member of Anti-Entropy Entertainment and a favorite student of Walter Young. She has great talent in the development of artificial intelligence (AI).

The Heavy Armor Bunny 19C she designed is an extremely powerful AI that can assist game makers in completing game production more easily.

Bronya wants more people in this world to participate in game production, so that many excellent games will be born.

However, just as the project was put on the agenda, Bronya discovered that once the AI ​​she designed became popular, a large number of people working in the gaming industry would face unemployment.

This will fundamentally shake the entire gaming industry and will also give rise to an extremely fatal problem - that is, the source code of AI is in the hands of Anti-Entropy. If the Heavy-Armored Bunny becomes popular, it will make Anti-Entropy the only one in the future.

For players, a monopoly is not a good thing.

Although she put in a lot of effort, in the end, for the sake of this blue ocean of gaming, Bronya still took on the pressure and stopped the plan.

It is said that this matter turned out to be very unpleasant, so Bronya resigned from Anti-Entropy and founded a company, which is miHoYo.

She made the Heavy Armor Bunny for the game, but had to give it up for the game... The burden on Bronya's shoulders was much heavier than Su Mu had imagined.

But it doesn’t matter, at least now, he is here.

Previously, Su Mu checked his system and found that his reputation and rating had changed since "Dig for Ascension" topped the sales list.

Not only that, even the system has evolved.

【Name: Su Mu

Current reputation: Sharp

Reputation: 200000

Tip: Congratulations on completing the first task and getting an achievement gift pack! 】

Su Mu's mind moved, and he opened the novice gift package, and found that the rewards were quite affordable, including a BBA for transportation and a gift box of source code for a game of his choice.

He opened the gift box and found that most of the games he could choose from were independent games, which were all excellent games in his previous life.

For example, "Hollow Knight", "Ashe", "Warm Snow"... But Su Mu put this gift box on hold for the time being, as he doesn't need this gift yet.

If the system was set up as it was originally, it would probably allow Su Mu to first make a name for himself with quality independent games, and then enter the large-scale stand-alone game market to promote the ninth art.

But Su Mu has made up his mind that the game he wants to make is "Honkai Impact 3rd".

It's not just because as a veteran captain, he has complicated feelings towards this game, but also because for miHoYo now, only by making mobile games can it accumulate enough popularity and fame, and then continue to develop towards the next step.

of course.

The most fundamental reason is that Su Mu really wants to see it.

After I created "Honkai Impact 3rd" in this world, what kind of wonderful expression would I have when I saw someone with the same name and even a very similar appearance as me appear in the game?

Just thinking about this, Su Mu was already so excited!

Thanks to the fact that the system Su Mu got was not a certain point, but a certain cat, which was classic and easy to talk to, and it was even possible to be bullied by the host. It was just like a Nan Liang, saying no, but when he was pouted, he started to cry.

Originally, with Su Mu's current reputation value, it was impossible to exchange for the source code of "Honkai Impact 3rd", but after Su Mu's repeated requests, the system had to agree if Su Mu could restore the "Honkai Impact 3rd" project as much as possible with his own abilities.

For example, art, music, copywriting, etc., can reduce the reputation points required to exchange source code.

Therefore, Su Mu worked very hard during this period.

His efforts were noticed by Dayaya.

Even Dayaya was surprised. How many livers did Su Mu have? What kind of Saint Liver Emperor was this?

Finally, after working hard for a while, Su Mu finally knocked on the door of the president's office with his own plan - "Honkai Impact 3rd"!

"This is the project we are going to launch next - Honkai Impact 3rd! It is a next-generation 3D action mobile game featuring beautiful girls!"

Su Mu put his plan on the PPT and showed Kiana and Bronya the results of his hard work!

22 Kiana: I’ve decided, let’s make Honkai Impact 3rd!

Beautiful girl game!

Honkai Impact 3rd!

The reasons for choosing this game have been mentioned many times before - the most straightforward reason is that because it is a mobile game, there is no need to produce all the content at the beginning, you only need to update each version!

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough money at the beginning. The money earned after each version is updated can be invested in the production of the next and even later versions... This is the advantage of mobile games!

It is also the game that best suits miHoYo’s current situation!

Putting aside all these trivial matters, there is also Su Mu’s bad taste!

He just wanted to see what kind of wonderful expressions the Valkyries in this world would show after playing this game!

"Beautiful girl game?"

Bronya looked at Su Mu who was full of confidence in front of her, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Although she knew before that Su Mu was writing a planning proposal for "Honkai Impact 3rd", judging from the copy alone, it was indeed a very good story.

However, she still felt somewhat confused about the words "Beautiful Girl Game".

"Yes, a game with beautiful girls and plot as the main selling points!"

Bronya was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red: "Xiao Xyou?"

Su Mu was stunned. He didn't expect that he would hear these three words from Bronya's mouth?

He glanced at Chong Chong, who was sitting nearby with lifeless eyes, as if she was daydreaming. It seemed as if she was not listening to him.

Come to think of it, it seems that Kiana has indeed been a little absent-minded during this period of time.

It's really strange. The company obviously made a lot of money, but she didn't seem very happy since that night.

"We are a serious game, a serious game!" Su Mu coughed a few times, "Beautiful girl games are designed to provide emotional value to players, so that players can have a good gaming experience, and then make them willing to pay for the game!"

"Well, I can understand that." Bronya nodded, "But can you explain why all the people who appear in the plan are people I know?"

Bronya also carefully looked over the plan that Su Mu brought out.

She had a hunch in her heart that the game made by Su Mu was definitely feasible.

It’s not just because of Su Mu’s previous success of "Dig for Ascension", but also because Su Mu showed Bronya new possibilities in this plan!

The current gaming market is quite lacking in mobile games. The "beautiful girl games" that Su Mu mentioned certainly do exist, but most of them are placement games with extremely flat character portraits and boring gameplay.

And the people in this world have a strange fascination with yellow rabbits, otherwise the first game produced by Bronya after establishing the company would not be called "Hum Connect".

By using 3D, beautiful girls can be presented in high definition on players' mobile phones. This kind of visual experience cannot be compared with 2D.

From Bronya's perspective, this game will definitely be a big hit, but the problem is...

"These characters, let alone being similar to real people, I totally believe you when you say you have known them for many years..."

Bronya felt a headache when she looked at the dense network of relationships in the plan.

Destiny, anti-entropy, world snake?

Kiana, Raiden Mei, Bronya...

Even Teacher Walter Yang and the destined Otto Apokalis are there too?

Moreover, the plots of these characters in the game are actually somewhat similar to those in reality?

Bronya looked at Su Mu with suspicion, and then pointed to the part related to herself in the plan.

"Why is my character an expressionless, disabled, paralyzed loli? Do you have any problem with me?"

But soon, Bronya saw Kiana's personal introduction, the character of a clumsy, reckless, stupid and energetic girl, and she burst out laughing.

"Especially this one, it's a bit too authentic (holding back laughter)."

Bronya asked again.

"Can't you just change your name?"

Su Mu shook his head: "I can't change it."

Bronya: "Why?"

Reason? Is Honkai Impact 3rd still called Honkai Impact 3rd after changing its name?

But he certainly couldn't answer like that, so he explained in a mysterious way: "Actually, I had a dream, a dream about "Honkai Impact 3rd". I dreamed that in that world, there was a periodic disaster called Honkai."

"And that is a story about a girl who was chosen to fight against the disaster called Honkai, also known as a Valkyrie, and who fought for all the beauty in the world..."

"As for the story content, it's the same as what you saw. I wrote it all into the plan."

Bronya was a little surprised. Dream? Would anyone really believe such an outrageous statement?

Although she thought so, Bronya looked at everything described in the plan, and for some reason she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Could it be that there really is a parallel world, and in that parallel world, I am the Valkyrie who fights against Honkai?

Although it seemed very mysterious, Bronya felt that it was possible.

After all, Su Mu is just a college student who just graduated. How could he possibly get in touch with so many big shots?

But he wrote down the names of those important figures word for word, and unexpectedly connected everything together. Either Su Mu was a blind cat that caught a dead mouse, or he really had such an outrageous and fantastic dream.

Although Kiana was daydreaming, she still listened to the conversation between the two and became more interested in this so-called "Honkai Impact 3rd".

"So, I am the protagonist in Su Mu's dream?"

Kiana looked at the contents of the plan and suddenly shouted out in surprise.

"Why is Kiana the protagonist..."

Bronya's eyes seemed a little resentful.

"No, no! Bronya is also the protagonist!" Su Mu explained hurriedly, "Your role is very important! You will show your power later!"

"Really?" Bronya seemed to be in a much better mood.

But immediately, she raised her worries and concerns.
