70 million players, 4 years waited!
The map area is more than 100 square kilometers,
Oscar winner Will Smith (Emperor) made a film for it
……
There is no doubt that the survival game "Dawn Awakens: Life" is the biggest mobile game of the year.
But what was the project team doing when they released the pigeons?
Why is Shi Huang willing to cooperate with him?
What's the secret behind the scenes?
Taking advantage of the opening of the undeleted file test, the decryption project team "disappeared" for several years, and there were two or three things to cooperate with the Oscar actor.
The identity of the Emperor game is exposed?!
Q1: There are so many international celebrities, why did you invite Shi Huang (Will Smith) to cooperate?
Planning: The opportunity came from the sci-fi movie "I Am Legend" fifteen years ago.
Will Smith's Colonel Robert Neville uses survival skills and extraordinary intelligence to live with his dog in the crisis-ridden "dead city" for several years, and is one of the most legendary survivors in film history.
The old terrier of various survival games one person and one dog is borrowed from here, and Will Smith also won the Best Actor Award at the 17th MTV Movie Awards.
The project team invited Will Smith to collaborate, which is in line with the game's courageous attitude towards the theme of survival.
Will has been interested in survival in recent years, and has just collaborated with the National Geographic Channel Discovery series documentary series "Welcome to Earth".
That's why our cooperation came naturally.
Q2: What role will Shi Huang play in the game?
Curated by: Legendary Survivor, Trey Jones. He will serve as the player's mentor in the apocalyptic world, guiding the player's future direction.
In two years, the more "crazy" the player, the more stable the game
Q3: What has the project team been doing in the two years since the final test?
Planning: optimize, optimize, or optimize. After several tests, we deeply understood the needs of players, optimized the gameplay, system, numerical values, big world exploration and other aspects of the game, and worked hard...
Q4: Really?
Curated by YES, hahaha...
Q5: What gameplay and content has been added to this test compared to the previous two years?
Planning: We have added a lot of gameplay content to the original version, such as adding manor party gameplay;
Optimized the cooking system and fishing gameplay, and added dozens of new dishes and fish;
Several new identities and corresponding characteristic gameplay have been added to the original settlement system, which should give players a lot of surprises;
In addition, we also plan to add the pet system after the stability of the undeleted file, which is currently being tested internally, and I believe that it will meet the player soon after the undeleted file.
Question 6: Have players ever been "crazy" after pigeons for so long?
Planning: Crazy, but that's a rational "madness." Many extreme core players can rely on the memory of the test period two years ago to ask many problems that the project team could not observe, which is very incredible in our eyes.
Q7: How has your mindset changed in the past few years?
Planning: From the hesitation and satisfaction at the beginning, to the restlessness in the middle, it finally returns to calm.
When you stay calm, time is always your friend. Listen carefully to every suggestion from your players and patiently complete every iteration of the game.
Q8: What is your favorite design in the game? Why?
Curated by this: If I had to pick just one, I would choose the ultimate goal set by Dawn Awakening: Life: "To live, in our way."
As a survivor of this world, players face the cruel environment of lack of resources and bad weather in the post-apocalyptic world, search for resources in the ruins and wilderness of cities, collect supplies, build houses, craft tools and weapons from scratch, try to survive, find trustworthy partners, build safe camps together, and fight side by side.
In this new world, every group has its own rules of survival, and we want players to find their way to find their way.
"Alive, in our way." This design is the meaning that drives all the gameplay content.
Survival = having fun in the midst of hunger and cold?
Q9: What gameplay design do you think will be key to Dawn surpassing other survival games?
Planning: "Dawn Awakening: Life" uses real survival attributes, restored environmental weather, and extremely oppressive polluter design to provide players with enough survival tests;
In the manor system and camp system, players are provided with space to unleash their creativity and collaborate as a team;
In terms of gun design and combat experience, it provides a variety of combat methods with rich weapon combinations, and various subdivided weapon types and accessories can bring players the most extreme sense of on-the-spot combat;
In the seamless and unrestricted large map, the real ecological circulation system provides a variety of animals and plants for players to study and experience, and can reach more unknown areas through swimming, climbing and other ways.
Together, these and the gameplay content we provide for players is what makes Dawn Awakening: Life.
Q10: Survival games are always associated with hardcore and heavy, and many players have also worried about the liver. How are project teams balanced?
Planning: Tailiver will indeed become a pain point for players, and the project team has also made adjustments and optimizations during this time, such as:
The scheduling system has been redesigned to comprehensively optimize the problem of heavy burden; Relatively reduce the consumption of silver coins and increase the daily output of silver coins;
Set a daily experience limit, and treat side quests and exploration as interest-oriented content, not mandatory;
Redesign the cost values related to manor upgrades, enhancements, etc.
The above is only part of our work, and there are many problems that players care about, and the project team will solve them with 200% effort.
Q11: What exactly do you think is the core fun of survival games?
Planning: From the outside world, the fun of survival games may only lie in solving the word "food and clothing".
Indeed, in many realistic survival masterpieces, emphasis is placed on how to truly restore the actual survival experience, ensure that all physical indicators are normal, find a place to live in the barren wilderness, and find a bowl of hot soup.
In the world of "Dawn Awakening: Life", there are also these elements, and solving food and clothing is the lowest level of demand in survival games. Further on, why do we like to play games? In the end, the appeal will definitely be satisfied with a sense of achievement.
In the world swept by catastrophes, in the face of a natural environment that has never been seen before and an unexpected hidden murderous opportunity, use the materials as far as the eye can see to build your own world step by step, from nothing to full food and warm clothes, from being alone to winning friends. A sense of accomplishment is born.
In a survival game with a strong sense of immersion, you can experience the excitement and fresh happiness of the moment, but you don't need to bear any pain burden, maybe this is the hunger and cold but extremely happy survival experience.
