Sandbox simulation adventure game "Shi Guang Story" summons players to save the abandoned village
The sandbox simulation adventure game "Shadow of Light" produced by GoHoGames Studio and released by 2P Games was officially launched today in version 1.0, ending the early access phase that started on January 23 this year. During the freshman period, the development team continues to listen to players' feedback, adjustments and optimization content, and gradually expands the gameplay and system according to the established update route; with the arrival of the official version, players will step into the vast and unknown world as adventurers, shouldering the mission of saving the abandoned Shiguang Village and rebuilding their homes.
"Shi Guang Story" is an open sandbox RPG that provides a variety of scenes for players to explore, including different terrains such as dense jungles, deep wetlands, ice and snow wastelands and endless deserts. In the game, there are survival challenges brought by alternating day and night and dark underground environments. During the exploration process, players will encounter all kinds of fantasy creatures and monsters, and need to balance resources and actions in battle and survival. At the same time, they will also get to know NPCs with different personalities and gradually advance the process of story and village reconstruction.
The game takes into account both freedom and goal orientation in terms of gameplay. Players can freely choose to farm fields, raise livestock, mining and log and collect resources, and can design and build houses by themselves to create their own warm home. At the same time, the responsibilities of being an adventurer cannot be ignored: players can go to the guild to collect tasks, prepare supplies, explore abandoned camps and repair strongholds, and attack powerful enemies such as goblins, snowmen, and colossus. The game also provides a treasure map system, where players can purchase treasure maps from merchants to become treasure hunters, discover treasures scattered around the world, and obtain unexpected rewards and surprise experiences.
In terms of props and item systems, "Shi Guang Story" has more than 600 unique items, covering crops, tools, props, equipment and materials, etc. Players can plant and harvest ingredients, cook various dishes to restore state or gain gain effects; use materials to make powerful tools to improve collection efficiency, and forge weapons and armor in the blacksmith system to fight against monsters in the field. The rich item system allows players to have multiple development paths and strategic choices between survival, exploration and combat.
Community construction and village management are one of the core elements of the game. After establishing bonds with various NPCs, players can invite them to join the reconstruction team. Each villager has unique profession and characteristics, from farmers, miners, lumberjacks to distinctive roles (such as rabbit girls), they can play a role in the positions they are good at and become the key force in the rejuvenation of the village. Players can not only arrange villagers in production positions, but also recruit them into adventure teams, equip them with equipment and lead them to conquer the vast world and challenge powerful enemies on the map.
Reconstructing Shiguang Village is the ultimate goal of the game. In the early stage, players need to build infrastructure such as residences and statues to attract more residents to settle down; after obtaining the building blueprint, players can set up construction areas in the village and hand over the construction tasks to construction workers. When the town develops to a certain scale, players can build shops, taverns and other buildings that meet the living needs of villagers, thereby improving residents' mood and work efficiency. With the joint efforts of players and villagers, Shiguang Village will have the opportunity to recreate its past vitality and prosperity.
With the official version released, the development team has added a number of new content and system adjustments, including the newly added goddess challenge area, 6 demon statue challenges, pet armored rhino that can be used as mounts or combat partners, and some purple star equipment with higher attributes. At the same time, the profession attributes of some NPCs have been adjusted, and more room type judgments have been opened, such as restaurants, entertainment rooms and luxury bedrooms, to enhance the detailed experience of players in construction and village management. The development team said that these updates are based on continuous improvements made by player feedback and established planning during the early access period, and will continue to listen to player opinions in the future and bring subsequent content expansion.
For players who like to integrate the elements of agriculture, animal husbandry, construction and adventure, the official version of "Shi Guang Story" 1.0 provides rich experience options in terms of gameplay depth and world composition: they can not only leisurely operate the farm, recruit villagers to build their homes together, but also wear armor to go deep into the secret realm and challenge strong enemies to find treasures. The game has been officially launched today, inviting players to walk into the ruins and hope of Shiguang Village, and use their hands and courage to re-lit the village.
