According to the game designer Wang Tianrui in the addendum to the game's installation package, his original idea for the game was one where you dig and fight monsters to become stronger. The random changing terrains and the randomly appearing items were the roguelike elements.

He immediately changed the direction of the items, making the various items within the game intermingle, giving rise to more novelty and playability.

was undoubtedly superior compared to other roguelike-themed games that Ke Jin had tested.
