Game Development: I Made Black Myth, and the Whole Internet Broke Down in Tears

[Cultural disconnect] + [Black Myth: Wukong] + [frequent updates]

Su Fan transmigrates to a parallel world and discovers that its culture has suffered a rupture. All traces of China's history have long since disappeared.

Then Su Fan awakens a game-making System and obtains Black Myth: Wukong from the start. He is invited to join a game development competition show, which is livestreamed across the internet.

In recent years, China has grown so weak that it has no games worth showing off, and countries everywhere mock it mercilessly.

Su Fan makes his debut on the show with a Black Myth trailer, and the entire internet is moved to tears. The familiar art style, the muted ink-wash palette, the irresistible golden headband, and that legendary destiny set the whole crowd ablaze.

Three players try the game in the preliminaries, and netizens cry out, “Just who is this monkey?”

In the semifinals, what is Tiger Vanguard? Three punches from the Wandering Wight shatter the Great Sage's dream, and foreign players go wild.

In the finals, the challenge is to capture the game's core: “You've ridden horses in the American West, been a pirate in Europe, and served as a gunner on the battlefield. You've even been an assassin in a pyramid. Now you can finally return to your homeland and become the hero of your own story.”

“I want to be the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal!”
