Chapter 6: A Dungeon That Will Make You Say "Wow"
🕑 Added 2025-08-14 14:30:47 +0000 UTCAlex had registered a company a long time ago, so this time he directly used the previously registered company to set up the studio, named "Stormwind Studios." At the same time, he also registered a dungeon supplier account on "Infinite Realms," and his current level was Primary.
The dungeon suppliers of "Infinite Realms" were divided into tiers. Generally, newly registered ones were Primary, followed by Intermediate, Advanced, Elite, and the highest Partner level.
The permissions and rights of each tier also increased step by step.
For example, in the latest supplier system, Primary suppliers could only develop experiential dungeons, and when making game props, they could only design and produce cosmetic and skin-type items without attributes or combat power enhancements.
In terms of revenue sharing ratio, they could only enjoy 50-50 splits with the platform.
But if you reached the Elite level, you could get an 80% share.
There were no restrictions on dungeon design. You could design the highest-level official dungeons and corresponding props and equipment. You could even participate in the design of new professions, the design of the main storyline, etc.
In addition, Partner-level suppliers, as the name suggested, had many privileges, which wouldn't be detailed here.
"I've sent the dungeon design document to our work group. Everyone, take a look first!" Alex immediately sent the pre-prepared design document to their team chat group.
"Our dungeon is participating in this year's New World Theme Competition. Time is very tight, so everyone's work intensity will be very high in the coming period. I hope everyone can persevere with me.
I also believe that our dungeon is definitely qualified to win the championship!" Alex continued, his eyes firm and full of confidence.
David nodded excitedly, but Tom and Sophie looked hesitant. Tom raised his hand and said, "Boss, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to make a good game in just two months!"
Sophie beside him also nodded vigorously.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that I've already had a third-party company prepare all the art resources and music and sound effects a long time ago. You just need to present the game in the Infinite Realms Editor according to the design documents. So as long as we work hard, we should be able to complete it before the deadline!" Alex said with a smile.
"Oh, that makes it much easier. I thought we had to start from scratch, so two months should be enough!" Tom smiled and immediately felt the pressure reduced by half.
With design documents and art resources, it was just like putting together a puzzle according to the numbers. It wasn't difficult at all. You just needed to follow the steps.
"Okay, let's take a look at the design document first, and we'll discuss it afterward. If you have any good ideas, you can also bring them up, and we can brainstorm together!" Alex said with a smile.
The three of them opened the design documents one after another, and David was also very curious about what kind of world Alex had conceived.
"Avatar? The title is Avatar?"
David wasn't unfamiliar with the word Avatar. In English, it meant incarnation, and also referred to the role of the game player in the game. This word didn't seem to have much connection with the New World theme.
The New World Competition had been going on for a long time now, and there were countless dungeons participating in it. Most of the entries listed on the rankings were named XX World, XX Planet, XX Continent, etc.
For example, there were two games that were currently hovering in the top two spots and fighting each other fiercely.
One was a dungeon produced by Titan Games, the largest game company in the region, called "Primordial World."
The other was the cyberpunk-style dungeon world "Planet Krall" produced by the American company ET Studios.
So David always felt that the name "Avatar" was a bit puzzling to him.
However, after David read the game introduction, his eyes lit up. It turned out that Avatar referred to an avatar bred by humans in the game using their own genes and the genes of the Na'vi on the planet Pandora.
Moreover, humans could use consciousness-connecting instruments to link with this clone and then control this body. This was a very interesting setting.
David even suddenly felt that this name was very sophisticated, much better than those XX World and XX Planet titles!
Of course, the most interesting thing was the worldview created by the game, the planet called Pandora, and the strange creatures on the planet...
"Boss, can you show us the finished CG animation or scene renders?" David suddenly said.
After taking a rough look at the setting of the game's worldview, David became more curious about the artistic presentation. Of course, Tom and Sophie were equally curious.
"No problem, the promotional video is ready. Let me show you the trailer first!" Alex retrieved the VR promotional video from the resource package.
Everyone put on VR headsets.
Accompanied by a melodious and ethereal melody, a huge light blue planet appeared in their field of vision. It was a massive gas giant with clearly visible storm cyclones similar to Jupiter on it, like a giant eye, watching the planets around it.
The view quickly narrowed, and a spaceship was heading toward an Earth-like planet beside it.
Narrator: "Are you Jake Sully? I want to talk to you about a fresh start in a new world where you'll be different!"
The spacecraft passed through the atmosphere, and below it appeared a primeval jungle with lush vegetation and towering trees.
The scene shifted, and a man in a wheelchair appeared in a military base, surrounded by various armed aircraft and powered armor. The narration also changed to a human officer giving a speech to new soldiers: "New recruits..."
At the same time, huge floating mountains appeared in the picture, suspended in the air. They were covered with dense vegetation, crisscrossing vines, and even waterfalls cascading down. Clouds and mist lingered, making it look like a fairyland, which was spectacular.
A helicopter passed by, looking so small in comparison.
"You are no longer on Earth. This is Pandora. There is a humanoid race here called the Na'vi..." accompanied by the officer's narration.
A series of breathtaking scenes flashed by: spectacular geological formations, dreamlike primeval forests, luminous plants, strange creatures imbued with spirituality, blue-skinned Na'vi people standing over three meters tall. Countless seemingly unbelievable yet oh-so-real scenes assaulted everyone's senses...
Every frame seemed to bring an unprecedented visual experience, making all three of them couldn't help but let out bursts of "Wow."
The promotional video also conveyed the battle for resources between humans and the Na'vi. When human machines ruthlessly trampled on the beautiful jungle, and when the towering trees where the Na'vi lived fell down under the bombardment of human missiles.
When the Na'vi people watched their homes being engulfed by fire in grief, with countless lives tragically destroyed, David and the other two couldn't help but be moved and filled with anger.
When the various Na'vi tribes united and shouted to fight for their homes, when countless dragons and beasts came out together to battle with human fighter planes and mechas, the shocking scenes, coupled with the epic and passionate background music, pushed the entire promotional video to a climax, and also made David, Tom and the others' emotions reach a peak. The promotional video also came to an abrupt end, leaving people with endless imagination.
"That's incredible!" David couldn't help but jump up, his face trembling with excitement. "Boss, this is a masterpiece, an absolute masterpiece. It's so shocking. How did you conceive of such a fantastical world?"
"Yes, the plot is also very fascinating. I feel that the setting of human neural connection to control Avatar is very interesting. I really want to know whether the battle between the Na'vi and humans will end in victory. I really hope that Jake can help the Na'vi tribe win and protect that beautiful planet!" Sophie said excitedly.
As a veteran player of "Infinite Realms," she had played various dungeons, so she had a measuring stick in her heart.
At least after seeing this promotional video, she was deeply attracted and wanted to explore that beautiful planet.
From the perspective of a professional artist, the artistic expression of "Avatar" made her even more amazed.
"Mr. Alex, this dungeon is really amazing. I'm full of energy now and want to make this game as soon as possible!" Tom said excitedly.
In his opinion, this game would definitely be a hit once it was released. It might even be possible to win the New World Championship as Alex had said, become famous instantly and popular all over the world.
However, he himself was participating in the production of such an awesome work, and this was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.
And if this game became popular, their studio would also become popular. It would definitely grow and become a well-known game company in the future.
By then, he would no longer have to listen to his parents' nagging.
He had been getting a lot of grief from his parents these days because of his job change. His mother didn't understand why he had resigned from a big company and run to such a small startup, and he was getting tired of hearing about it.
