It has been more than a year since Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2 was announced.

We have seen a lot of enthusiastic discussions and expectations, but there is a lot of speculation about what kind of game Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2 is, or why we decided to devote ourselves to Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2.  

Today we take this opportunity to talk about it, what exactly is Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2.

We haven't disclosed anything before.  

However, in the CG segment when the true end of the Amazing cultivation Simulator was shown, we showed our initial imagination of Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2, which is also the direction of our efforts.  




In the final plot of Amazing Cultivation Simulator 1, the player's sect Taiyi helps the Emperor of Demons to reopen the "Universe", after knowing the truth of the "Universe".

The Taiyi sect chooses to be ready to face the third wave of devil's attack, holding the mentality of fighting for death rather than sitting and waiting to die.


However, "Universe" is just a man-made "cave", times' speed was totally different from the outer world.

Thousands of years later, After Emperor of Demons takes the lead in walking out of the universe boundary channel to return to the outer world, what presents in front of him is an amazing scene that nobody can expect ...  In the face of such unprecedented changes, what choice will Emperor of Demons make?  Players will enter the game here, write what kind of spiritual epic?  

Please look forward to is ~~  

Although many players of Amazing Cultivation Simulator 1 felt that the graphics and music were inadequate, for the three of us with only 100,000 CNY(About 15,000USD) in development budget at that time, it was all we could do.

But the graphics and music of Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2 will be a big upgrade.

To be honest, it was challenging, for no other reason than to repay you for supporting us. 

Because of your support, we have been able to grow from a small workshop of 3 people to a slightly larger and funded studio.

We will try our best to present the world in our hearts to you who support us.  


Over the past year, we've seen a lot of discussion among our friends on various social media platforms.

Today, we can make a promise： Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2 will be a more role-playing game than Amazing Cultivation Simulator 1.

In Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2, You will control and play your own characters on adventures in the world, but we will keep the "simulation" part and it will be a significant part of the content.

If you are Keen on the construction, still can start from scratch to establish their own sect brick by brick, if you are not, can also focus on single play, as long as your strength is strong enough, you can be a guest elder in a sect, do not have to work hard to manage everything.

During the few years since we launched Amazing Cultivation Simulator 1, we've received all kinds of criticism and suggestions. But only in the dimension of "Cultivation World", we have received unanimous affirmation and encouragement from everyone. Some players even wrote to us that the game aroused their interest in reading Taoist classics and gained a lot.

Some players wrote novels based on the story background of our game... When we saw such comments as "the production team knows about Cultivation" and "this is the real Cultivation", we were really excited, and we felt that our painstaking efforts were not wasted.

In Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2, we continue the setting system that Amazing Cultivation Simulator 1 has initially formed and systematically classify and dig around it. For this, we also further examine the data and abstract restore. More like-minded friends join us so that we can have a greater ability to set more details that everyone likes to see and is familiar with, and create a more vivid world of cultivation realm.

Cultivation, why everybody likes it?  Is it really just those who "Play Dumb" cool text paragraph let a person addicted?  We thought about it a lot.  

We think that the theme of cultivation has some elements rooted deep in the soil of Our Chinese culture, which is the reason why this theme let us enter and let us like:

The superheroes of western culture are basically born by chance, but our Cultivation is telling the most ordinary people to break through their own bottleneck step by step and change their lives against destiny.

In western culture, people will ask God for help when encountering difficulties, but in our culture, we will face the obstruction of destiny, cultivate， and turn into immortals

In western culture, people always want to change the world, but in our culture, we want to be unity with the world.

People always said if it didn't have a Golden Core, it would be nothing and if I had a Golden Core, my fate is up to me and so on during cultivation. So what is Golden Core?

In fact, putting aside the content of metaphysics, the spirit of the Golden Core is a ritual of removing the false and keeping the truth, and clarifying the mind.

Cultivators, cultivate truth in ourselves, we have been educated since childhood, and this is the principle of the unity of mind and action.

We want show the difference between the two cultures after we find many of these essences in the cultivation of fairy culture, which guides us to strive for self-improvement, to be good, and arouses our resonance and excitement.

We also hope that not only the rough level of cultivation, the only simple name with Golden Core, Primordial Spirit, Artifact, Bladeriding...and so on

The textual research deeply digs into the thoughts and culture behind the theme of cultivation, and presents it, hoping to bring a more flavorful experience of ACS 2.

When we established GSQ studio, we set ourselves a somewhat ridiculous goal:  
We made the cultivation world, players made the story.

This is what we strive for, creating a credible world is our greatest wish. Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2 will be the first step.  

So again we ask the original question: What is the world of the cultivation realm like?  
Along with this comes more questions:

Why cultivation world exist?
How does Qi work?
Why we could fly?
How to move a thousand miles a day?
How let the time pass ten thousand years within a blink?
How the Moon Star and sun like in this world?
What kind of people should this world be?
How do they live?
How does society work?
Have mortals looked up at the stars?
Does the Outer Disciple complain a little?
How does the Cultivator take time off from his busy schedule?
What about history?
How is the economy?
What about culture?
What about art?
What is the principle of cultivation?
What is the basis of the Spell?
Why do spells work?
How do formations work?

As these questions become clearer, our goals become larger and more complex.


The world needs vast spaces, epic time, rules that are strong enough, the power to make people believe it's real...

Hubris, there's no other word we can use to describe what we want to do. In the past, this is a far-fetched delusion.

Fortunately, now we have the design experience of ACS 1, with a little bit of strength, with your support. So we thought we'd give it a try.

This is certainly a difficult challenge, but the way to make a game that we want must face up to the challenge, GSQ is getting stronger and stronger, we are still willing to stake all for it!

After a long design, most of the content of The Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2 has been designed and planned.

The program framework is also in progress. Now we can say with great confidence that The Amazing Cultivation Simulator 2 will be a game like never before.
But the premise of all this is that we can successfully complete it
We are well aware that this matter is extremely difficult, and that reality is definitely not as perfect as imagination, but every step we take will bring us closer to it. Even if the final result is not ideal, this will be an unprecedented try for us.

Now every character in the cultivation realm has condemnation. Normally, characters from evil sects have more condemnation while some just characters did not have less. Besides, ancient cultivators awaken from ancient times mostly have deep Karma and an amazing amount of condemnation.

A kind of special Ashe created by dead cultivators killed by tribulations. It is said that this kind of ash is condensed from the owner's condemnations.

Consume one Tribulation Ashe and use it on an item, granting a chance to increase the item's tier by 1.
And Tao refinement can be learned through the Law of Nimbus Conquest and Jade Purity Immortal Law.

When a player character is chatting with others, others will gain an original favor of your character depends on your sect’s reputation, sect good/evil, character charisma, and social skill.
Generally, if the player sect has a higher reputation, has the same good/evil and, character charisma and social skill is higher, the original favor will be higher, even crush at first sight(60 favor). However, if you two are not from the same side, the original favor will be 0.

Optimized the mechanism that Shendao cultivators open Ancient Scroll. Now they will learn unlocked divine realm buildings at a high rate.

When physical cultivators are choosing effect, if they choose new effects that never being selected before, then there will be an extra verification step to reduce misoperations.

After characters become adult naturally, their portraits will stay mature state, which means they will not transform into babyface if their life span gets increased.

• Child Face Drug: Shape one's face as innocent as a baby's.
  
• Adult Face Drug: Shape one's face as energetic as an adult's.
  
• Elder Face Drug: Shape one's face as profound as an elder's.

Swift mode is added. It can be turned on in the system menu.

After it is turned on, there will be a swift mode speed in the game speed. At this speed, there is no game graphic, and time moves swiftly. This mode can greatly alleviate later game lag problems at high speed.

Save details are added. Make it easier to manage player saves.


The target select menu is added to help select items and characters during gameplay. The hotkey is Y.


Produce Menu is added to help players manage productions. The hotkey is P.

Now all sects are listed on the left of the trade menu. You can trade with these sects through this list after visiting them.


The save function is optimized so the save file size is massively reduced. Meanwhile, save speed is faster by more than 4.6 times. The later the game is, the more obvious the optimization is.
After old format saves are loaded, they will turn to new format saves once being saved again. No extra operations.

A large amount of logic optimizes to improve the game efficiency.




One can get this law from the Golden Hall in Golden Peak of Wudang if the requirements are full filled.
It is a supreme law created by the Perfected Warrior, which is created by Yin and Yang, can be powerful if you can handle its special mechanism.

• Yin and Yang Transform:

[/h3]
The inspiration of this law has a Yin and a Yang parts. Manuals in these two parts are designed according to the idea of Yin and Yang conquering, transforming, and generating each other.
In this law, there are more than 30 new manuals. Every manual improves some abilities but reduce others at the same time. The corresponding manual in the other Yin Yang side is completely the opposite.
If one only learns manuals from only Yin or Yang part, its major properties will be highly enhanced meanwhile lose minor properties.
If one learns both Yin and Yang part, although the effects of the two Yin Yang manual will counteract each other, the cultivator can understand deeper mysteries from the combination of Yin and Yang, and then learn advanced manuals that essentially improve the character’s abilities from the basic.

Yin and Yang Path:

[/h3]
Cultivators learning this law are separated into Yin and Yang as well. When learning manuals, inspiration needed is base on the Yin Yang property of the five elements of the manual. After the manual is learned, the attainment gained will be added to its Yin and Yang part. This mechanism reduces the inspiration needed by characters greatly, giving them larger growth space.

Yin Yang balance:

[/h3]
The abilities of characters learning this law change with the Yin and Yang attainment proportion. When one’s Yin and Yang attainment is in a chaotic imbalance, its abilities will be reduced. After the Yin and Yang proportion reach some specific state(eg. Pure Yin, Pure Yang, Yin Yang Balanced), its abilities can also be reborn and improved.

Yin and Yang sub-spirit

[/h3]
When a character reaches the Primordial Spirit state with this law, it can train a special Yin Yang Primordial Spirit. When in combat, primordial spirits split up and act simultaneously with infinite power.
[/list]

As one of the four Chinese traditional monsters, the black tortoise has an indissoluble bond with the Wudang Mountain. The move and silence state of the turtle snake is the same as Yin Yang Taiji, which is an essential part of the Wudang Culture from ancient time.
Black Tortoise Miao is a descendant of the Perfected Warrior Emperor's mount. Yin and Yang exist together in harmony inside it, and its Core can also be split into two. Black Tortoise thus excels at both defense and offense.

• Pet feature:

[/h3]
Black Tortoise Miao is slow but can absorb nutrition from food more efficiently, converting impurities into Spirit Stones.

Pet miracles：

[/h3]

Peaceful Breath: Use on an ally character so that they won't need food, water, or sleep for 3 days, but their movement will become slow.

Heavenly Block: Delays an ally character's Shapeshifting Tribulation at the cost of their lifespan.

Natural Soil: Turns an area into Spirit Soil at the cost of their own growth and nutrition. However, water nearby will become normal water.

Pet Spells:

[/h3]
Blessing and Curse can directly affect Yin and Yang Qi in Miao’s body, giving it the ability to case a variety of different spells. If it has more curses than blessings, it is better at offense and can break enemies’ defense and even disturb formations. Meanwhile, if it has more blessings than curses, it will be good at defense, cure and protect allies, stabilize formations.

Where to get:

[/h3]
After the Wudang Sect reaches max favor of the player sect, the player can get Black Tortoise Miao by adventure.

Wudang Mountain is a famous Taoist Holy Land in China. It has had the holy names of "Taiyue", "xuanyue" and "Da Yue" since ancient times. It is also the human Taoist field of the Perfected Warrior emperor. It is known as an "unparalleled scenic spot in ancient times and the first fairy mountain in the world". There are too many stories about the reputation of Wudang Mountain, but there is no doubt that Wudang Mountain and its Taoist culture constitute the most important chapter in Chinese traditional culture. Now, the immortal gate of Wudang, which has been hidden for many years in the immortal cultivation world, has finally unveiled its mystery.
On the East Sea, a lofty, hazy mountain of immortals suddenly appeared in the mortal world. Cultivators explored the place and found that it's a long-lost, boundless realm of immortals, and hidden within is a seclusive Taoist sect! The Taoist teachings of the sect are directly passed down from the Perfected Warrior. Its disciples have all mastered the essence of Tao and excel at expelling demons. The realm is known as the Wudang Mountains!

• Golden Peak:

[/h3]
[/list]
Standing atop the Heavenly Peak, it's where the Perfected Warrior once practiced and where the Taoist teachings on the Wudang Mountains began.

• Southrock Palace:

[/h3]
[/list]
Built atop the Southrock Peak of the Wudang Mountains, the palace faces a deep, dangerous chasm with a magnificent view. The famed Dragon Incense can be found within the palace and works wonders.


In the process of making these new scenes, we took the most famous scenic spots of Wudang Mountain as the prototype and re-engraved the beautiful fairyland scenery of Wudang Mountain into the game, such as the Golden Hall of Wudang Golden Peak, the sea of clouds, the Zigzag Yellow River wall of the Reattainment Temple, the cliffs of the Southrock Palace, dragon incense, the Bixi Memorial Stele of Zixiao palace, etc... the scenery in the game is not as good as that of Wudang fairyland, Players are also welcome to visit the holy land of Wudang and mark on your own!
