【Content Sharing】Support Black Guard"Traveler of Flowers" - Ling



Ling is a "traveler" from the Misty Mountains whose mission is to travel the world and return with what she has seen and heard to the Elders' woodlands. Travelers can only watch, must not interfere with the development of this mortal world, otherwise the ancient protection will be ineffective. She will become a small member of the numerous living beings, not a traveler of the mortal world anymore.

After completing a century-old tour around the world, Ling returned to the Misty Mountains and recounted her century-old experiences to the Elders' woodlands. Curiously, the elders have not taken back her traveler status, or even designated her route, allowing her to travel freely wherever she wishes.

Whether it was because she had seen through the changes in human nature, or because she had been touched by the vicissitudes of the century long tour, Ling finally chose to go to St. Nigal and join Pioneer Blade to become a healer.

It is said that on the day Ling arrived, the number of male patients in the hospital room exploded. Of course, these were little tricks with the travelers who saw through the world, and she could see whether they came to her for healing, for talking, or for love.



But no matter what, Ling will never turn away a patient, and the hospital room in St. Nigal is a place that is always clean and pure.

【Content Sharing】Heroes model iteration preview ①

Hi guys, the testing on August 25th is getting closer and closer. Apart from the optimization of the test content by the technical team, our art team are also working hard to improve the quality of the game. Today I would like to share with you some updates of art resources.



As one of the early produced characters in our game, Galahad plays an important part in the story. But the 3D model of Galahad suffered because early models' output were not sophisticated enough because of a shortage of early manpower. So sorry to Galahad!

But with this update, Galahad's model quality has successfully enhanced from the PS1 era to... PS2 era! Although the span is not large, but also a promotion of a generation!

Galahad's charge ability was the "highlight" of the last testing. It is said that the level of appearance is sacrificed to gain strength, so after this successful plastic surgery, even slightly weak point is acceptable! What do you think, Galahad! (Galahad, Char --!)

Well, just expect the planning team to strengthen him! :P

And don't forget our testing!



【Causal Chat①】Just some causal chats...

The whole development team was busy this week. Due to some careless planning, the development schedule was affected. After rethinking, the team made timely adjustments. Fortunately, the basic content development of "Endless Corridor" has been completed according to plan, and while there are still many details to fill in, the basic gameplay can now be played. It should also be released on this test, we are delight to listen to your opinions and suggestions, then we will try our best to optimize it.



So, for various reasons, the scheduled test was canceled by a week. However, this is a lesson learned from the last test, in order to bring a better game experience for everyone. But don't worry! This time the game content has been basically completed as planned! The team will continue to work overtime over the weekend to complete the remaining details. Please look forward to our test on August 25th.

【Dev log⑧】An essay on the pace of development

Hi I’m Wang. I get asked all the time: "Make a free game on STEAM. Will players take it? " In my opinion, In fact, I think that for the player, having enough content is what you want as a player, not an absolute freemium or buy-out game.

I prefer to use the term "hybrid" to describe the Book of Yog. The hybrid game that I understand, It should have the advantages of free games with no economic barriers of interactivity and strong and continuous update ability, but also have the rich and coherent game content of single-play games, such as story, exploration, experience rhythm, etc.

I divided The Book of Cover into three development stages: Battle & Cards, interactive upgrades, and Enhance Content.

[h2]Battle & Cards[/h2]

1:Have a certain number of levels to play, rich build content, rich growth system;

2:Have 20-30 characters to collect and cultivate;

3:Early game plot (the team size is still too small, the production capacity is insufficient, and the development tool is not mature enough, which is currently being addressed).

At this stage, the game is basically playable, but the experience is not rich enough. It is just a normal hard-core idle game, and it will be in this stage when the game is initially launched. (For those players who have a strong need for the game plot I want to say sorry first. Please give us some more time and patience, we are trying our best to improve the editor, please wait for us to perfect the tool!)

[h2]Interactive Upgrades[/h2]

1. Steadily add new levels, gears, skills, gems, storyline, and new skill mechanisms to enrich and deepen build system;

2. Steadily add new characters, averaging 1-2 characters per month;

3. Add activity gameplay, enrich the clan system, and provide gameplay of character collection and gear collection centering on activities;

4. Steady updates of plot content.

At this stage, the content of the game is relatively rich, with more interactive gameplay, and more research space for the build. The requirements for the player to play the game or pass the level are not identical, which allowing the player to play more freely.

At the end of this stage, when our tool chain is mature and the update of level content is stable, we will be fully engaged in the development of plot content and exploration system.

[h2]Enhance Content[/h2]

1.We will create over 20 separate scenes to shape the main city - St.Nigar - in the game. Players can explore the city in a variety of ways, such as investigating side quests, playing mini-games, training, and interacting with characters who play roles as students;

2:Players will play as a mercenaries commander, arrange the tour of the academy, accompany students, guide training, complete missions and deepen relationships with students in limited time, and promote the development of the story;

3:Increase the bond system, improve the ability of partners, activate the side-line story, learn about the character backstory, open exclusive weapon missions, etc.

At this stage, we will devote all our energies to creating a sophisticated and informative world of St. Nigar.

Only every month, every aspect of the game is updated steadily, including rewards, levels, new characters, gear, story, activities, then I think this game is a qualified game, which the players will be willing to play such a game. I expect the whole development cycle to take about 8-12 months, so it's going to be a long, hard job for us.

However, I believe that as long as perseverance, our sincerity will attract our players!

The test is basically scheduled for August 25, and I sincerely welcome you to come and play our current game, and also welcome you to give us all kinds of criticism and suggestions.
