July Team Development Progress Update!

[p]Hello dear players, This is the Funyoo Game.[/p][p][/p][p]It's been almost two years since we launched our game. Our entire team has been so busy these days, immersed in development, that we haven't had much time to chat with you all. As a result, many of you who have been following us have been wondering, "What's the current state of the game? When will we be able to play it?" - We're so sorry! We haven't been slacking off yet. We're pushing ourselves to the limit, tackling various optimizations and challenges in the final sprint![/p][p][/p][p]We like to share a heartfelt update on what we've been working on. If you, like us, truly love single-player games, enjoy immersing yourself in their worlds, and enjoy sharing the pure joy of gaming with everyone, then we're sure the stories we're going through will bring a smile to your face, and even a little anticipation![/p][p][/p][h3]Trailer Review[/h3][p][/p][p]In January 2025, we released our first trailer, introducing the game's world, landscape, and features. We received a lot of support and encouragement from players, which gave us even more confidence to make the game even better. We also received a large number of suggestions, which we have taken note of in detail and will fully consider in subsequent development. We would like to express our special thanks to all our players for their support. It is your encouragement that keeps us moving forward.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]In June 2025, we released our second and third trailers. This time, we showcased more gameplay content, allowing players to directly see the gameplay, UI, controls, and combat. We recorded all of this in real-world gameplay. We hope you enjoy this gameplay and find it enjoyable, fun, and a unique sense of accomplishment found in management simulation games.[/p][p][/p][p]Similarly, after the release of this trailer, we received a large number of suggestions. We understand your needs: you want your sect to lead your disciples to conquer the world, rather than just be a nanny, taking care of their daily needs. We adjusted the release plan, adding many automated features and many interesting props, which will perform tasks and help carry supplies, keeping the sect running smoothly. This allows players, as the sect leader, to lead their disciples to conquer the martial arts world without any worries, and unify the martial arts world![/p][p][/p][h3]Eastern Era | New Gameplay Revealed: Carve Your Path Brick by Brick, Reveal the World Sip by Bite!"[/h3][h3]
Eastern Era | Development Log Featuring In-Game Footage[/h3][p][/p][p]Click the link above to watch the latest promotional video.[/p][p][/p][h3]INTO THE WORLD offline event review[/h3][p][/p][p]At the end of June, at the invitation of Unreal Engine, our studio brought a playable demo of "Eastern Era" to the Unreal Engine booth at INTO THE WORLD in Beijing, showcasing an early demo version of the game to players for the first time. Numerous enthusiasts, game developers, and media members visited the offline booth to experience and test drive "Eastern Era" and communicate directly with us. We recorded every suggestion and every stuck point encountered by players, and will improve them in the upcoming online demo. Our original intention and goal remains to allow all players who are interested in and enjoy business simulation to experience the charm of "Martial Arts Sandbox" in Zongmen Origin. You will encounter familiar martial arts sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, and Kunlun in this world. Become allies or enemies? Fight or form alliances? The choice is yours.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Recent Dev progress[/h3][p][/p][p]1.Scene Art Optimization[/p]

• [p]A ray tracing system has been introduced, significantly improving the game's visuals.[/p]
• [p]The overall scene polygon count has also been optimized, from 20 million to under 4 million. Combined with optimization technologies like Nantie, this ensures stable frame rates on mid-range and low-end graphics cards.[/p]

[p][/p][p]2.Character Model Optimization[/p]

• [p]Using Unreal Engine 5's latest MetaHuman technology, character models and facial expressions are made as realistic as possible.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]3.World Map Development[/p]

• [p]We've created a fully 3D world map. Players can communicate with various sects, trade with cities, and send disciples on expeditions and explore secret realms.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]4.Continued improvements to the home area.[/p]

• [p]Added the ability to craft mechanical birds, allowing you to transport goods and free up disciples' time.[/p]
• [p]Added new rooms with different functions, such as the library, dining hall, and armory, significantly increasing the playability of sect development.[/p]
• [p]Added numerous new decorations and practical furniture.[/p]
• [p]Optimize combat performance, which will be demonstrated in subsequent PvP events and is significantly improved compared to previous versions.[/p]

[hr][/hr][p][/p][p]Below are some functional buildings we are planning. \[Mechanical Station] Here you can create various mechanical men and mechanical beasts. They are tireless and can take care of most of the chores in the sect as long as they are charged regularly. \[Mechanical Men] will diligently transport the treasures you find outside back to the sect warehouse without missing a single one. You can also create exclusive mechanical men to help you fight. And so on. There are interesting sandbox buildings like this waiting for you to play.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]See you at Steam Next Fest![/h3][p][/p][p]On October 13th, we'll be participating in Steam Next Fest and bringing you a demo of "Zongmen Origin."
