Genshin Impact Event Will Add Player-Made Custom Dungeons

gamerant.com:

Since its release in 2020, Genshin Impact has seen very regular updates and events, with one always either ongoing or on the horizon. The developer of Genshin Impact, recently renamed HoYoverse, is constantly working to bring new characters, items, and events to the game. Now the players themselves could take on a little of that work.

Technically free to download and play, Genshin Impact is known as a gacha game. Players are under no obligation to spend any money on the game but are incentivized to do so with in-game rewards and characters. This is why Genshin Impact sees constant updates and events, as the game only makes money from a consistent and active player base.

Genshin Impact Players Think They've Figured Out Bennet's Age

The latest Genshin Impact event, Divine Ingenuity, is perhaps the developer’s best idea yet for keeping players engaged with the game for the event’s duration. The event adds five new domains to the game, which are Genshin Impact’s version of dungeons. Upon completion, however, players gain access to a custom domain editor, allowing players to design their own dungeons that give in game rewards.

The custom domains will work similarly to Super Mario Maker on Switch which remains an untapped genre of games. Players are given a series of pre-set terrain types such as walls and slopes to design the layout of their domain to be as simple or as complex as they would like. From there players are free to fill these dungeons with traps and puzzle elements from the game’s asset library. Then, just like in Mario Maker, players can publish these domains and play the domains created by other players.

This essentially leaves players with an unlimited number of domains to play for the entirety of the event.
