"Hiss—!!!"
In the end, the video concluded with the roar of the Zerg Queen.
.........
"Huh?? That's it? Is there a next episode?"
"Idiot, do you think you're watching a TV series?"
"Holy crap, is this a sci-fi movie produced by Antarctica? When is it coming out?! Why didn't Xu Dan's dad mention it? It wasn't written in the invitation either!"
"Aaaaaah, I thought it was going to bite my head off!"
When the video finished and the fans gradually calmed down, they suddenly remembered something important—quickly go to the forums and ask the big shots what this was all about!
However, when they hurriedly opened the forum, they discovered that the entire place had completely exploded!!!
The World of Warcraft posts, which had originally occupied seventy percent of the forum, had vanished without a trace!
What remained were nothing but posts asking what that video was!
[Pinned]"About Xu Dan's Dad's Invitation Letter Just Now! Click In!"
[Pinned]"Full Video Version—Click to Get It Yourself! Best Sci-Fi Film of the Year, I Kneel!"
[Pinned]StarCraft
These three pinned threads were instantly lit up in red and purple by frenzied players!
The traffic was so overwhelming that even opening a thread required a long loading time!
In Eastern Europe, a young girl with chestnut-colored hair finally opened the third thread, filled with anticipation.
The first floor was occupied by the thread owner, displaying a high-definition StarCraft cover image!
"Is this a game… or—?"
Soon, her gaze shifted to the second floor.
The second floor, also posted by the thread owner, explained the true nature of today's short film.
"So this is actually a game?! Oh my God—this is really a game!!"
The girl smiled in astonishment—the first smile she had worn since her parents were killed.
That smile was like finding a pearl on the shore.
With her heart pounding, she continued reading.
3rd floor: Antarctica Company, film studio—confirmed!
4th floor: When is it coming out? When is it coming out?! Even if I go bankrupt, I have to play this game!
5th floor: I'm in love with the Zerg Queen—yes, I admit it, I'm a pervert!
6th floor: I beg Xu Dan's dad to send me another invitation so I can see the follow-up!!
...
After reading the first ten replies, the girl immediately closed the forum and hurried to the official website.
Because the second-floor post mentioned that this game was different from anything before!
This time, it was no longer a game downloaded over the internet!
Of course, if you wanted to download it, you could check the estimated size first: 1024G!!
That was an astronomical figure for ordinary players!
Even if you added up all the free space on your hard drive, it still wouldn't be enough to fit such a game!
So Antarctica had already taken all of this into consideration and packaged the game inside a professional gaming hard drive!
Players only needed to submit an application on the official website to reserve one—and it was half price!!
This offer was pure heavenly bliss for players!
Now, even standing in front of their own biological father, they would dare to call Xu Dan "Dad"!
No choice—Antarctica was just that conscientious!!
They fulfilled the dreams of all gamers!
Even back then, someone had merely made a post and written a wish list—and Antarctica soon produced CrossFire!
That was the power of a major company!
Daring to satisfy even the smallest fan's request!
Making a game was never simple—especially not high-quality or god-tier games like Antarctica's!
Antarctica pursued quality!
The promotional videos they released had always been real in-game footage—never fake!
Unlike other game companies that spent money on flashy CG trailers and then served players a pile of garbage!
Just like today's StarCraft—even though the visuals were so explosive and exaggerated, no one questioned it.
Whether Antarctica could truly deliver such a grand scale, players didn't know—but one thing was certain:
Whatever ultimately appeared before the players' eyes would absolutely match what was shown!
————————
During the development of StarCraft, Xu Dan forgot to eat for the first time in his life!
Because even he himself was captivated by his own inspiration!
With the Red Queen assisting, the game's development speed was anything but slow!
Half a year later, batches of professional gaming hard drives—carrying the dreams of countless players—were shipped out one after another!
The Eastern European girl was among the first to receive one.
She rushed home and, with a mix of excitement and nervousness, plugged the U-disk-sized hard drive into the front USB port of her computer.
Such a small device—could it really be that 100T professional gaming hard drive?
Impossible, right?
Had it been swapped?
Something this tiny would probably burn out the moment the game ran!
After all, StarCraft was enormous!
But that wasn't the case at all!
The moment she plugged it in, a familiar hard-drive reading window popped up on her screen…
Wait—why did a hard drive with 100T capacity still have a 1.2T game package, and yet it only took five seconds to read?!
"Oh my God! No way! This can't be fake, can it?!"
She instinctively opened My Computer and looked at the storage device below—clearly marked 100T—then finally let out a slow breath.
She moved the mouse and clicked on the hard drive.
Inside, lying quietly, was only one folder—StarCraft.
No installation.
No decompression.
No searching for an executable.
Just double-click—and the game launched!
Antarctica really treated players like a father.
StarCraft, with its 1.2T size, didn't stutter even slightly and instantly entered the opening interface!
The girl even began to wonder if her computer had somehow evolved—otherwise how could it suddenly be so powerful, effortlessly running a 1.2T game?!
Little did she know—this time, for StarCraft, Xu Dan had used the same intermediate optimization package that had once been applied to World of Warcraft!
And because the world was so vast, every detail appeared even more perfect!
After quickly adjusting some audio and video settings, she finally clicked Enter Game…
