At the opening night of the Cologne Game Exhibition, Game Science announced the new work of the "Black Myth" series "Black Myth: Zhong Kui".Afterwards, Feng Ji and Yang Qi posted a message to talk about their thoughts and let’s take a look.

Feng Ji said that "Black Myth: Wukong" has been released for quite a while and he has been in a mess.A thing that I have been thinking about for nearly twenty years finally came to an end.And this result exceeded the initial expectations too much.Logically speaking, you should roll around the ground and hum every day.Unfortunately, the human bottom presupposition is not like this. The strong positive emotions seem to last very short, and happiness always passes in the blink of an eye.

"What I really couldn't get away with during that time was mainly confusion, emptiness and panic (I know it's pretentious to say so, don't shoot). But no matter how he felt ashamed of "not being happy", these emotions still came uncontrollably and surging - especially when he was drowned out "who will send DLC when did it be done or not." As a professional adult, I am also good at hiding these negatives, convince myself to cheer up, and start doing DLC ​​honestly. Because I know very well that my friends who urge DLC are undoubtedly people who love black monkeys, people who like to go and carry us all the way up the mountain. So, for more than half a year after the release, I determined some directions, wrote some settings, and held some meetings. The team started to reign seriously according to the plan of "doing DLC ​​first".

"That's until one day this year, Yang Qi left me a message in the morning, saying, "I have something important to ask for advice." I happened to have something to do that day, so I asked for something that I was not in the company during the day, so I asked for a chat in the evening. When I saw him when I came back, the first thing I asked was, "Do you don't want to be a DLC, want to be a new one?" Relieved, happy, and naturally, we hit it off. Then, we began to convince other colleagues one after another. Then, there was the "Black Myth: Zhong Kui" you saw today."

"DLC is certainly a good choice, but at this moment, we want to make a new work of black myths - new heroes, new gameplay, new vision, new technology, new stories. Let go of your hands and feet, try boldly, and start from scratch. Maybe many people think that DLC is very stable, DLC is safe, DLC is clear, and DLC will be faster."

"But many of the second creation works I have seen are already more unrestrained than our previous DLC ideas. Like everyone, I really like the world of demons, gods and Buddhas in Journey to the West, so the legend of Goku will be prepared in a more complete and solid way in the future, and then officially come back. In the book "Mr. Iwata", the old president of Nintendo said: "There is no future on the existing extension line.""Only with unknowns, there are surprises; only with challenges, there are fun. Game Science will continue to deliver every new answer with everyone's love and wish."

Art Director Yang Qi also posted a message to talk about the inspiration for the preview of "Black Myth: Zhong Kui" and its future plans.

One day in mid-April, I was in Beijing with Mr. Wei.During the meal, I talked about a ghost story, and I half-jokingly said, "Why, please help me shoot a CG?" Master Wei showed joy and asked with a slap in his legs, "Then let's do a feature film this time?!"

I thought about it and answered, "The budget is the same as the upper CG. We will do as long as you can..." Master Wei was silent for a while and asked, "Who is that person in the story?"

I explained, "I had a dream last month. I dreamed of a weird man with a black face and a blushing beard, holding a tiger and guarding the balcony. I felt that this matter was extraordinary. After I woke up, I wrote it down and sent you back to Hangzhou." Wei Shifu was silent for a moment and asked, "Why are you shooting this for a new project?"

I replied, "Let's take a picture first. After the filming is finished, maybe there will be a folder..." Master Wei stopped talking, sighed, and said, "Drink a drink first, and make a long-term plan."

In a blink of an eye, the scene was finally completed.That's right, the person in the story is Zhong Kui, Zhong Kui riding a tiger.I remember that Zhong Kui was not riding a tiger, but after waking up from the dream, I realized that in Ming Dynasty paintings, the image of Zhong Kui riding a tiger was not uncommon. I think this matter is not simple... Opportunities are very important in creation.A group of old guys have been working on Journey to the West for more than ten years, and maybe it’s time to change their minds.The stories of gods and demons are naturally satisfying, and the legends of monsters should be of unique interest. Teacher Feng Ji is already writing the Soul-Leaving Tune.

"Black Myth·Zhong Kui" has no real content worth displaying at the moment. When it can be seen, it should have a brand new look.Of course, Wukong’s story is far from over, and we are also waiting for the right time to wait for more peers (recruitment for some important positions will also be updated, teachers can follow the gamesci.cn-related news).

Having said that, there have been many masterpieces recently, and I can’t help but see them.It's good to calm down for a while.The summer in Hangzhou is getting longer and longer.The community I live in this year has sparse trees and it seems that I have never heard of any call.Only the cicadas that keep ringing in the ears, rising and falling one after another, full of vitality.
