"Four years! Do you know how I got through these four years?"
After a long test of up to four years, after withstanding countless doubts from major forums such as Zhihu and Tieba, the development team of the domestic independent game "Taiwu Painted Scroll" LuoZhou has recently confirmed that the official version of the game will be released on September 21 this year.
When many players hear this news, they have a sense of being separated from the world. Recall that when I first came into contact with "Taiwu Painted Scroll", it was started at the price of 10% off the debut on Steam in 2018. At that time, when the version number was suspended, "Taiwu Painted Scroll", as an independent game, seized this opportunity to let itself be noticed by more players.
Regarding the gameplay content of "Taiwu Painted Scroll", I will not repeat it too much here. After all, in a strict sense, this work that has been tested for up to four years is completely an old game. Under the name of "Martial Arts Simulator", the emergence of "Taiwu Painted Scroll" has inspired many domestic game developers, making them aware of the infinite possibilities of taking the road of independent games.
It is also since then that masterpieces such as "The Great Immortal Simulator" and "Tribe and Machete" have been frequently released, and "Dyson Ball Project", "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" and "Warm Snow" have also become popular choices.
However, although the market is more friendly to domestic independent games, for game developers, many problems and troubles actually come from themselves. It is not uncommon for the studio to be dragged to death not only by internal volumes among peers, but also by funding issues, differences in development ideas, and excessive development time.
In the process of game development, it is not a simple task to meet the needs of players. The recent release of "Retirement Simulator" and the "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds", which has been in operation for more than a year, have caused controversy due to later content updates. The day before yesterday, the producers of "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" apologized to the players for the problems caused by the newly released mod editor.
On the same day, the release of the final news of the "Taiwu Painted Scroll" made many old players of "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" open "champagne" and expressed their support. It doesn't matter if you like "martial arts simulators" before, you just want to prove that there are many options for domestic independent games.
In the past four years, Taiwu Scrolls has performed well in terms of sales figures. However, because of the long test time, it has also consumed the patience of countless players. Since October 2021, there has been no news of the development of the game, which once made people think that the main creation model ran away. It was not until this official setting that the discussion gradually subsided.
In the past four years, the production team of "Taiwu Painted Scrolls" has experienced a lot. "The Great Xiu Xian Simulator" in the Weibo congratulating the former on the finalization of the file, I want to hear the story of what happened during the period. It is not easy for the production team to survive until now.
For the Taiwu Scroll, the only thing players are worried about at present is the issue of the version number. Two weeks ago, the State Press and Publication Administration issued a new version for the first time in 263 days, and a total of 45 games have been reviewed, but "Taiwu Scroll" is not included. Although Eggplant, one of the game's creators, has previously determined that the game will be submitted for review, it is still unknown when it will be passed.
To unravel the mystery, players may have to wait until September 21st, when the game is officially released.
