Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Civilization Promotional Video
Kiana is like a blank canvas, and the teacher is like a painter, constantly adding their own colors to it. But compared to Siegfried's careless personality and his genes of not using his brain, Eden and Elysia, as teachers, have also replaced Siegfried and Cecilia in terms of teaching some lifestyle skills and things that girls only come to know.
How to braid hair, how to take care of your skin, how to keep yourself clean and tidy. Of course, more importantly. Elysia also cooperated with Siegfried to teach how to pick up girls.
Although this is a long process, Bronie doesn't care much about it. But if Bronie were to teach? Please, Bronie only knows a little common sense, if she really teaches her, she might end up teaching Kiana to be a gangster lady.
Bronie has always been the type to act rather than chat. And usually a bit impatient with some things. Who made Bronie born in the lower levels of the Cyber Arc City?
In such a harsh environment, of course, you need a harsh personality to survive, and good people don't last long in these types of cities.
But now, Bronie is actually trying to reduce some of her own ruffianism. After all, Elysia probably wouldn't like that style, right?
It was some time after passing the music score to Eden, and then sending all the things that need attention to Eden. Not very long after, Eden sent back two complete songs.
The Dream of Flight requires a large chorus. Perhaps Eden also used the voices of the kind people in the Elysian Realm in Elysia's memory?
As for the other song, it's a male and female alternating singing. Eden seems to have also asked for help from Aponia? She don't know, it really feels a bit like Aponia, after all, the main body of the lyrics is all prayers, and it seems fine for Aponia to sing them.
Participating in the production of artworks makes Eden very happy. Through a corner of the song, Eden can feel that the art of modern civilization is continuously flourishing, and the glorious civilization is just a step away from developing into the vast universe.
Seeing that Eden sent the songs so quickly, would Bronie still slack off?
After Cioara successfully established her own bar, two months passed, and Bronie's game was finally completed!
Combining the songs from Civilization I to Civilization VI, collecting the long-lasting folk songs of various civilizations, the epic strategy game with all the DLC content of Civilization VI is about to be released!
Then Bronie put the finished CG on the internet, indicating that a new game is coming soon.
[From the emergence of the first life under the water, to the giant beasts of the Stone Age, and then to the first upright walking of humans, we have experienced a lot. Now, embark on our greatest exploration: from the cradle of early civilization to the vast universe.]
...
On the internet, Bronie's game has opened up peoples mind about a new way of thinking for independent games.
It may not have the graphics as good as Schicksal Entertainment, or the scale as big as Kallen Fantasy. But it can have great quality gameplay, story, and even unique art style and music.
The attitude of players is always honest. As long as it's a good game, sales are no longer a problem.
"Archbishop, the game producer Haxxor still refuses Schicksal Entertainment's request and has established her own game studio, and recently announced the first game promotional video."
In the bishop's office, the Archbishop, who was addicted to games a few months ago, seemed like an illusion. After completely playing both games and finishing all the content of both games, Otto began to put all his energy back into work.
New experiments. An experiment to explore the Sea of Quanta and find the second Divine Key. Of course, there is also education. The poor girl who was saved from the scene of the plane crash, who miraculously survived such severe head trauma. Although the other party has lost her memory, this does not affect Otto's cultivation of her into the strongest Schicksal Valkyrie in the future.
And today, Amber brought in all work.
New tasks were underway, along with the completion of the headhunting assignments given beforehand.
"It seems our genius indeed has some pride. What kind of game does she aim to create this time?"
"Apologies, the game is titled Civilization. It's not quite clear from the promotional video, but it appears to involve developing one's own civilization and engaging with historical leaders?"
Since the promotional video didn't showcase actual gameplay, there's been much discussion about the nature of the game. Although it's only been about half a year since the last game, the speed of production is indeed surprising.
Fortunately, under Haxxor's umbrella, there is indeed a studio with quite a few employees, so while the pace of producing new games is fast, it's not entirely unreasonable.
"Engaging with historical leaders? Then I must take a closer look at the promotional video. After all, games produced by Haxxor shouldn't be something simplistic."
...
St. Freya Academy has commenced full-scale operations. Especially since Kiana's plane crash, Theresa who was infuriated, transferred from Schicksal Headquarters to the Far East Branch.
While this move was somewhat opportunistic, Kiana's sudden disappearance did bring Theresa a huge blow.
Nevertheless, the school must continue, and it must excel!
This was Cecilia's dream, and managing this academy is the only thing that can console Theresa.
Upon learning of Kiana's demise, Theresa couldn't help but recall the game, Spiritfarer.
For a while, she felt despondent, but during this period of gloom and also thanks to Himeko's assistance, Theresa managed to accomplish quite a bit of work, otherwise St. Freya Academy would've descended into chaos.
Thankfully, Spiritfarer isn't just about exploring the philosophy of life and death; it also delves into the meaning of life. Theresa understands deep down that if she doesn't run this school properly, it would be the ultimate disrespect to Cecilia.
However, recently, HOMU's Great Adventure is shifting from weekly updates to monthly updates!
Theresa is highly displeased by this, but there's nothing she can do. She can't just find the author and lock them in a dark room to make daily updates, can she?
So, upon seeing this delay notice, Theresa could only irritably browse the internet to see if there were any other interesting works.
Later, she came across the brand new trailer released by the author of Undertale and Spiritfarer.
And not far from Theresa's office, in the teacher's office, Welt Yang also turned on his computer and watched the new trailer released by the author he followed.
...
[Civilization]
Then, the Haxxor Bunnylogo appeared on the screen; this was the logo of Haxxor Bunny Studio. A cute yet fierce rabbit biting a wolf.
Then, a full moon slowly rose from the calm sea, accompanied by the pure background music of 'Dream of Flight'.
On a ship sailing the sea, a man is plotting sailing routes on a nautical chart. Then, his daughter walks out from the captain's quarters.
Daughter: "Are you drawing new routes again?"
Man: "The tides of history are constantly changing. If we want to reach the end of the journey, we must adapt and move forward continuously."
Daughter: "But how do we know when we've arrived there?"
A symphony rises.
The scene shifts; the man holds a torch, standing on the hand of the marvelous Sun God statue, igniting the oil basin on the statue's hand.
The flame flickers.
In the city below the Great Wall, even at night, merchants are bustling, and beautiful fireworks burst in the sky.
Amidst the icy snow, Polish Winged Hussars, riding warhorses and clad in armor, lead the Line Infantry beside them in a charge.
At the cliff's edge, the Wright brothers craft the first airplane, and humans finally realize the dream of soaring in the sky.
But then, war arrives, and fierce aerial battles erupt.
On the fighter plane's control panel, struck in the cockpit, are photos of the man and his daughter.
Then, this photo also appears on another, more high-tech panel. The man's daughter is now inside a rocket, with the countdown to launch beside her.
"The essence of humanity is continually pushing beyond new boundaries. We test our limits, confront our fears, rise to challenges, and ultimately become beings far beyond ourselves."
The rocket ignites and ascends.
After segmented booster propulsion, the rocket leaves the Earth!
Finally, the Earth morphs into a sculpture.
An Atlas bearing the Earth stands tall amidst the mountains.
"This is civilization."
[Coming soon.]
Exciting music with a touch of epicness creates a clear sense of the weight of civilization.
The visuals are exquisite, with a slight animation quality, but apart from Kallen Fantasy, it's currently the most outstanding in terms of graphics.
Welt never imagined that Haxxor Bunny, this author, could produce such a high-quality game trailer.
Although the gameplay of the game was not clearly explained, the core message it intends to convey is quite obvious.
Especially the finale, with Atlas bearing the world on his shoulders. It must be said that Welt, who bears the name of the world, also resonates with it.
The name of the world he carries represents the civilization that humanity has developed over millennia!
"I have to say, this author is truly a genius. From Undertale to Spiritfarer, exploring life and death, and now Civilization, using games to tell stories, changing lives with stories..."
Then Welt opened sbeam and immediately pre-ordered it!
And he pre-ordered the deluxe edition.
The base game, plus DLC for the next two years and a brand new expansion pack.
In total, it adds up to about 40 dollars.
Undertale costs over 5, Spiritfarer over 12, and Civilization, valued at over 40 dollars, can be considered a masterpiece.
Is this game expensive?
For Welt, it's not too expensive. But he feels that the volume of this game is far beyond that of a normal game!
Meanwhile, Theresa sat in the principal's office at the academy, watching the promotional video without any feeling.
Then she looked out at the deep blue sky.
She felt dull.
This game doesn't seem that great, huh?
Let's take a look at the comments.
[Has Haxxor lost his mind?]
[Haxxor has fallen from grace. After making a fortune, now he's just trying to make more money. With over 40 dollars, you could kill so many people with rat poison!]
[The game's purpose is unclear. I heard it's a turn-based strategy game. What's fun about that? Isn't it just chess?]
"So it's a chess-type game!"
Theresa suddenly realized, then closed sbeam.
There is no other meaning, such brain-burning games are really not suitable for her to play. She barely wins at chess, let alone playing against AI in a game!
Meanwhile, Otto sat in the bishop's office, also watching the just-closed promotional video.
"This music, made by Haxxor himself? This is truly..."
Its quite a lot of emotion.
A game that praises civilization.
It's quite clear that this is a simulation and construction type of game, combined with a turn-based element, it should be that kind of chess-like game with complex rules.
But the music, along with the promotional video, combining the two to drive the audience's emotions, makes one proud of the current civilization.
Establishing one's own civilization and battling others, Otto hasn't encountered such a game before, but he's very interested.
No other reason, He just feels like his high intelligence has nowhere to go right now, so isn't this perfect?
And there must be many things inside that are closely related to the current era.
So Otto really wants to know what other major events Haxxor has in mind for the current era.
Then Otto also didn't hesitate to pre-order the game, and he bought the gold edition.
In addition to the season pass and future DLC, there are also music and setting sets that can be immediately viewed upon purchase.
Then he listened to the complete music of Dream of Flight.
A grand chorus, coupled with a symphony, played at an extremely high level with lossless audio quality, it must be said that Otto is eager to see what kind of scenery lies beyond the vast universe.
But space and such, actually it's just a slight curiosity. What needs to be done now is still to resurrect Kallen.
Without Kallen, there's no meaning to any existence. Games are just pastimes, props to keep his brain active.
...
Elysian Realm obtained priority access, and after watching the promotional video, the game could be downloaded immediately.
This could also be considered a small favor from Bronie. If there are any bugs in the future, Bronie will also update them synchronously.
Most importantly, the music provided by Eden is too perfect. It's much more perfect than Bronie's memory of the music, and this game is somewhat specifically made for Eden. Of course, it has to be shown to Eden immediately!
After careful packaging, Bronie is also preparing to launch the Ultimate Collector's Edition in the future, with physical figures and various setting books.
However, the game itself is still just an activation code, containing all future DLC collections.
As for the manufacturer, Bronie naturally let the studio's staff handle it.
And the first sample naturally was sent to Bronie's hands, entrusted by Bronie to Elysia, sent to the Elysian Realm, and given to Eden.
Of course, Elysia has one too.
But this time, Bronie didn't go to the Elysian Realm, which made Elysia feel depressed for a while, feeling itchy in her heart.
After all, she really wanted to see Kiana personally.
