Chapter 143 - Tried and True Chinese (1/2)
As the chat kept asking to see pretty girls, Lin Xue checked out the experience store as she turned on her computer.
A majority of them were playing Warcraft, a small number were playing Plants vs Zombies or other mobile games. The two computers furthest into the experience store seemed to be occupied by two other assistants, one was dealing with numbers, the other with the story.
“Haven’t seen Chen Mo, he’s probably on the second floor.”
Lin Xue didn’t find Chen Mo after looking around the experience store.
Many people now know what Chen Mo looked like since he showed his face during his commentary.
Lin Xue didn’t feel that it was a good idea to go search for Chen Mo as she didn’t want to interrupt him if he was working.
There weren’t many games on the computers as they were all games from Thunderbolt Entertainment. Lin Xue noticed that there was a game without an icon called Wulin Legend.
“It actually is Wuxia themed! Chen Mo never disappoints in the wow-factor department,” Lin Xue was shocked.
As a streamer passionate for standalone games, Lin Xue had some know-how in the videogame industry. She knew that all Chinese themed games were almost unanimous with Xianxia games. There weren’t many games that had Wuxia themes.
But many players looked forward to Wuxia games as it gave away a completely different vibe to Xianxia games.
Moreover, there were many Xianxia MMORPG games. Players looking deeper into it will realise that they have the same core gameplay as western RPGs with modified looks and story, with no changes to the gameplay.
There were some good standalone Xianxia games, but there weren’t many of them and the players were getting sick of them.
Lin Xue felt that it was brave for Chen Mo to make a Wuxia themed game.
“Alright, I’ll download the streaming software now. The internet should be good here, I’ll swap over to streaming from the computer and we’ll be able to experience Chen Mo’s new Wuxia game together.” said Lin Xue.
Lin Xue looked at the chat as she waited for the streaming software to download.
“Show us the cute girl at the desk!”
“Grab her number!”
“Xue, get Chen Mo to teach you how to play Warcraft!”
“I don’t wanna watch Wuxia games. The existing Wuxia games are complete garbage, it’s probably the same too!”
“Yeah, since we are at the experience store now, could you show us more of it? We aren’t in a hurry to play games.”
“Alright, shut up, let her decide what she’s going to stream.”
“I like Wuxia games! I wanna watch!”
“We must take a look at Chen Mo’s new game!”
There were many different comments in chat.
As the internet was pretty fast, the streaming software was done downloading. After doing some testing, Lin Xue started streaming from the computer.
She then double clicked the icon to enter the game.
It started off with a cinematic.
The background looked like traditional paper made of rice, with ink slowly dripping on the paper and spreading out. The Thunderbolt Entertainment LOGO in the form of a seal appears on it.
There were many different things flashing on the screen. With each stroke of the brush, a character would show up in ink. The characters had simple animations, zooming, panning or fading, appearing on the screen one after another.
There were handsome swordsmen, violent meon, serious monks, mysterious martial artists. Classic character designs flashed by one by one and Lin Xue could barely keep up.
As the cinematics continued, the camera started to pull away to reveal a word.
It was followed by a cut, a few martial artists were fighting over secret scrolls and above them were a few evil looking characters controlling the situation.
