“I’d like to ask, some of the scenes in Black Myth: Wukong seem quite familiar.”
“Were any real-world buildings referenced during the development of this game?”
Xu Chen’s eyes lit up when he heard this question.
“Many of the buildings in Black Myth: Wukong probably give you a sense of familiarity.”
“This feeling is normal.”
“Because the architectural design of this game heavily references existing ancient sites and buildings in China.”
“To create Black Myth: Wukong, over thirty real-world ancient buildings were 3D scanned.”
“Including the Mei Clan Ancestral Hall, Shi Si Temple, Xiao Xi Tian, Hanging Temple, Dazu Rock Carvings, and so on.”
“These locations might even be near players’ hometowns, and many players may have visited some of them.”
“Naturally, they feel familiar.”
After Xu Chen finished speaking, the viewers in the live stream went wild.
“Holy cow, I knew some places looked familiar!”
“Guanyin Zen Temple looks just like the temple I went to as a kid.”
“And that mountain gate, it’s exactly like the ancestral hall archway near my house.”
“You know, these ancient buildings fit perfectly into the game.”
“Wow, on-site location scouting across the whole country, 3D scanning, just this level of production cost and dedication is rare.”
“Finally, it’s not just the art team randomly referencing other games and making Japanese-style buildings.”
“This is definitely good stuff. I even feel like if a building is accidentally damaged by a natural disaster, you can use the 3D data from Black Myth: Wukong to rebuild it.”
“You can travel through China’s mountains and rivers without leaving your house, it’s really great.”
“You’ve got me wanting to go see it again, I’ve been thinking of going on a trip lately, and Black Myth: Wukong is a great reference.”
…
“Alright, next up, we have our fourth lucky viewer.”
Xu Chen immediately clicked on a viewer’s avatar.
“I’m so excited!”
“It’s actually me!”
“I’m dying to know something.”
“When I was discussing this with people on the forum, a lot of people were adamant that Black Myth: Wukong couldn’t possibly be made by Chinese people.”
“Even if there are Chinese people involved, it must be with the help of a lot of overseas big studios.”
“So, I want to know, what is the composition of the development and design team for Black Myth: Wukong?”
“Is it all Chinese people? Or are some people from overseas big studios involved?”
“If so, what is the proportion?”
When this question was asked, the barrage in the live stream fell silent for a moment.
It must be said that this question hit the nail on the head for everyone.
As many players who like Black Myth: Wukong, they all actually care about this question.
Black Myth: Wukong is undoubtedly very excellent.
No one can deny that.
Even haters find it hard to find too many flaws.
Therefore, many Chinese players felt a sense of pride when playing Black Myth: Wukong.
But still, many people don’t believe that Black Myth: Wukong is made by Chinese people.
On top of that, the identity information of the creators of Black Myth: Wukong has been very mysterious since its launch.
There is almost no official news.
Therefore, there is a lot of debate.
The reason why this question is sensitive is because it involves many issues.
If it really is like some people speculate, that the development and production of Black Myth: Wukong is led by overseas big studios.
And Chinese people only participated a little.
Then players will be very uncomfortable when they brag to others in the future.
They’ll be too embarrassed to mention that it’s a Chinese 3A game.
The other person can retort with a single sentence.
The Chinese people who worked on this game account for less than half, how can you call it Chinese?
Although you can make up for it in many ways, ultimately there is a lack of confidence.
Currently, what players generally accept is that the development team of Black Myth: Wukong, as long as more than half are Chinese, that’s good enough.
After all, the quality of this game is simply too explosive.
It far exceeds the level of games produced in China before.
Demanding that the developers and designers be all Chinese, is indeed a bit difficult.
It’s like a football club.
You can hire foreign players, but if more than half of the team is foreign players, even if they win the championship in the end, it’s not interesting.
It’s meaningless.
The opposing team’s fans will also have something to say.
You have the ability to win the championship with local players.
What’s the point if they’re all foreign players?
At this time, more than one million viewers in the live stream were all staring at Xu Chen.
Waiting for Xu Chen to give the answer.
Countless people’s hearts were in their throats.
Xu Chen straightened his back.
“I can tell you with certainty.”
“The development and production of Black Myth: Wukong.”
“From beginning to end, one hundred percent of it was done by Chinese people.”
“Not a single foreigner participated.”
“Whether it’s scene building, background music, motion rendering, level design, it was all done by Chinese people.”
“This is a game with extremely pure Chinese blood.”
“Of course, we are not opposed to collaboration, it’s just that there is no need for it now, Chinese people alone are already capable of making such an excellent game.”
After Xu Chen finished speaking, the live stream instantly turned white.
Upon closer inspection, it was all barrage.
Densely packed, it completely covered the live stream screen.
This news was explosive.
All Chinese!
One hundred percent purebred Chinese game.
The best case scenario that players had imagined before was that the part made in China might account for seventy to eighty percent.
Unexpectedly, it was made entirely by Chinese people, with no background from any overseas big studios.
There weren’t even any foreigners in the team.
At this moment, the players felt proud.
Their backs straightened.
Their mouths were almost splitting into smiles.
