God-Level Game Developer System: I Brought In-Game Items To Real World - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Developing Cozy Vacation Life (1)
Afterward, Weiss was busy programming some monsters and evil spirits in Vacation Paradise Island.

He had created a game rule that whenever it was nighttime, there would be a thick white mist that permeated the island. At that time, those monsters and evil spirits would become more active.

However, it wasn’t Weiss’ intention to make the game impossible. If he added only monsters and evil spirits, it would only be a horror game.

So, Weiss included a “mystery uncovering” plot in the game as well.

Although Weiss had used half of the continent for Vacation Paradise Island, the spawn point of the players wasn’t in the middle of it. Otherwise, the first main objective would be too difficult since traversing half a continent just to reach the end of it would take too much time.

The spawn point of the players was at the vacation hotel situated on the western side of Vacation Paradise Island.

The vacation hotel was known as Windesburg Hotel as it was founded and established by Maverick Windesburg. There was an uncovered mystery surrounding the Windesburg Hotel and it was up to the players to uncover it.

Uncovering the mystery of the hotel as well as the secrets of Maverick Windesburg was the second main objective. To complete it, both of those must be completed.

In other words, just uncovering the mystery of the hotel wasn’t enough to complete the second main objective. It also included the discovery of Maverick Windesburg’s secrets.

Furthermore, Weiss also added some items for the players to find which would allow them to combat those monsters and evil spirits.

As a Vacation Paradise Island, the highlight of it was the seaside near Windesburg Hotel. However, at night, the thick mist would cover the sea and prevent players from fleeing away from the island.

As if that wasn’t enough, even in the daytime, it was impossible to leave the island. The yacht that the players had used according to the game storyline had already left the island.

Moreover, creating makeshift boats using the woods in the Nevergreen Forest would be a futile effort. Using the normal navigation method to sail the ocean in Vacation Paradise Island would be ineffective.

Unless a special method was used, no matter how much the players sailed the oceans in Vacation Paradise Island, they would always end up at Vacation Paradise Island. In other words, they would just sail in circles due to some unknown forces interfering with their senses.

Only by getting a special compass that always pointed west would prevent the players from getting lost in the sea.

Even the first main objective was difficult to achieve since it both required creating a boat and finding the special compass.

“Sigh, I still have to create some game plots and storylines. This might take longer than I expected.”

“Furthermore, I have to add some finishing touches to those monsters and evil spirits. Such as adding a specific weakness or adding an anomalous attribute to them that makes the players feel fear.”

With that plan in mind, Weiss started working hard to develop the horror and mystery game that he called “Cozy Vacation Life”.

In Cozy Vacation Life, there could only be 13 players per server.

It was a multiplayer game that allowed players to connect to the internet in the game lobby and invite their friends to team up with them.

Of course, for those who don’t have any friends, there was still the public lobby option which allowed players to join with other players who hadn’t reached the required number of players.

But to at least make the matchmaking fair, Weiss ensured that those who used the public lobby option would be paired up with those who used the same option as well.

It was only in special circumstances such as a private lobby player not having enough required players to start the game, that a public lobby player would be matched with them.

Weiss had still allowed live streaming in Cozy Vacation Life. The only catch was that those who had discovered the secrets of Cozy Vacation Life could not use it in the game.

For example, if a live stream viewer saw Ayame discover the special compass under a tree, then the location of the special compass would remain the same. However, when that live stream viewer played Cozy Vacation Life, they would forget that information as soon as the game started.

Or rather than forget, the game would seal their memories regarding it.

Furthermore, the live stream chat couldn’t be used to exploit that loophole. The live stream viewer who didn’t discover the secret by himself couldn’t read the secrets mentioned by the live stream viewers.

So if Weiss were to inform Ayame about the location of the special compass via the live stream chat, in Ayame’s perspective, Weiss’ message would be censored.

The only way to bypass that censorship was after the live streamer or player discovered the secret by themselves. And since they discovered it by themselves, the game would no longer seal that particular secret to them whenever they played Cozy Vacation Life.

The most important power in Cozy Vacation Life wasn’t the exorcism artifacts. It was the information and secrets.

Because of that, Weiss included a supernatural phenomenon that would erase the player’s memories if they triggered something. That alone could hinder the progress of that player as well as their teammates’ progress.

As for what that trigger was, it was up to the players to find out.

While Weiss was adding some finishing touches and game mechanics in Cozy Vacation Life, he sighed and commented, “It would be a miracle if someone can even complete this game on their first attempt.”

“There are too many pitfalls and traps hidden in the game. Even if the players are very cautious, that cautiousness might even backfire at them.”

“Even if a player is absurdly lucky, luck isn’t enough to complete this game but it’s undoubtedly a crucial requirement for completing this game with the least amount of attempts.”

“If Ayame, Bianca, Winston, Kayden, and Kenshi teamed up with each other and played this game, then they might be the players who can complete all the main objectives of Cozy Vacation Life with the least amount of attempts.”
