Players Please Respect Yourself

  Chapter 51 Questions from the Industry

   On the other hand, just at noon today, a post became a hot topic on Weibo.

   "On whether Xiaoqiang Studio, the developer who developed (Land Abandoned by God), is the real light of domestic production! 》

   The words at the beginning of the article are very sharp:

"I never want to doubt our country's achievements with the greatest malice. The launch of the aircraft carrier and the 70th anniversary military parade made me happy. But a small company that I have never heard of before suddenly throws out a masterpiece that is a super 3A masterpiece no matter how you look at it. Online games, I can't help but wonder. When was our country's game industry so developed?"

"As we all know, our game industry has experienced the best of times, and this year has entered the worst of times. In 2010, any junk online game with an investment of 200,000 yuan could create a monthly turnover of 1 million yuan. At that time With all the hot money pouring into this industry, the entire domestic game industry can only be described as a volcanic eruption.”

"What follows is a variety of money-hungry web games, end games, and mobile games. Players' interests have been infringed. Of course, the number of reports and complaints has soared. The market is too chaotic, and it will inevitably usher in the country's rectification. The country has come out with strict games. Approval system. This makes 99% of the junk game companies that only cheat and fall into a desperate situation. This is also the source of what we now call [the cold winter in the game industry].”

"And a large-scale online game means that the investment is almost impossible to be less than 100 million. It is in this environment that almost all manufacturers give up taking risks and make the most certain martial arts style online games. New types, especially Western-style fantasy Style online games are almost extinct. It’s simple, the investment is huge, and the market is uncertain.”

   "Just like that, a small new company called "Xiaoqiang Studio" suddenly came to the forefront of the game industry. And the company didn't even have a celebrity. So where did it get its funding, planning, and human resources?"

The    article lists numerous examples.

  The so-called 3A, the first one needs to have sufficient funds.

   Any guy who has created the so-called miracle in the industry has almost the same rule: he is mostly a genius who has worked in other big companies before and then came out to fly solo.

  For example, Gabe-Newll, the eldest of Si Tian, ​​is a senior engineer at Microsoft. He earned a million dollars at Microsoft, and then got bored, he came out and developed "Half-Life".

   Another example is Hideo Kojima, who developed "Death Stranding". He previously worked for Ke Le Chou and created the industry masterpiece "Metal Gear Series".

   Another example is the most crowdfunded game in history, which raised nearly 300 million US dollars and developed "Star Citizen", which has not been completed for N years. Why do investors still believe him?

  Because the developer of this game is called Chris Roberts. He is one of the originators of sci-fi games. He has created "Galaxy Pilot" and "Interstellar Lancers", etc., and is a recognized leader in the industry.

   But "Xiaoqiang Studio" has nothing?

   A little bit of wind, and there is no big boss, so this is a masterpiece in the industry quietly? Created a precedent for consciousness to dive into VR games?

   This article is not so much a questioning as it is a forced Gongwen.

   seems to be polite, but in fact, it is to ask Wang Hao company to provide some dry goods, don't force me to call you a scam.

   After all, they entered the game of [Light of Favor], and less than 10% of them could finally complete the game and officially release it. The vast majority of games are unpopular and die in the early stages of development.

  Internal testing and internal testing, it will get cold when you test it.

   After receiving a wave of money, the developer ran away, and a group of players had nowhere to cry.

   After all, this is the EA mode on Si Tian, ​​which shows that this kind of game that is still in early development is risky. Even if it is a pit, you have signed a disclaimer when you bought the game.

   When Sun Shangying sent this article to Wang Hao's computer, Wang Hao finally realized why the system asked him to make 18,000 points of cover up.

   His 'game' is too bunker, too realistic.

   In a sense, it has hit all the big names in the industry in the face. Why did Ubisoft, which has 20,000 employees and studios all over the world, fail to develop a new VR online game in the first place. You, a small company, did it?

  Online games have the so-called [head effect]. Basically, the best online games have taken away more than 90% of the players in the world.

   A popular online game comes out, which means that the loser eats dust.

   Even though "Land Forsaken" has only been released for a few days, this kind of cruel and extreme competition has made other companies unable to sit still.

   This so-called doubter is just a dog released first, let’s try it out.

  Wang Hao silently closed the web page, and then acted.

  At noon on the 14th, most of the beta testers of "Land Forsaken" had just recovered from the excitement of winning the battle last night. After they participated in the war, they were busy until two or three in the morning when they opened a new base.

  At noon, we saw the official announcement that version 0.05 will be updated soon.

  【1. With the progress of players' collection of materials and construction, the blacksmith shop will sell new copper equipment. 】

   [2. In view of the complaints from the majority of players, the only girl in the camp became a stone man (blame the 'hour'). The company has decided to add mysterious NPCs dedicated to resurrecting players in the game, so stay tuned! 】

  The players immediately heated up.

  【Playful old tea】: "666, the official super super super diligent! Is this the power of 996? It's so scary."

  【Anikavia】: "Please make sure to increase your strength."

  【Archangel 037】: "Strongly request beautiful women, not beautiful women will not accept the goods!"

  [Freedom is a belief]: "Yes! If the appearance is too low, we will go to your company to block the door to protest."

  Unexpectedly, the game was updated online in the evening.

   Players who can play the new type of VR will not have a narrow bandwidth at home, but this update mode is still refreshing for players.

   Three hours in advance, at seven o'clock in the evening, the crayfish player's boss Jason walked to the center of the camp as announced.

   He raised his hands high, looked up at the sky with a magic stick, and then lowered his head, as if his eyes could penetrate the solid earth, travel through time, and see the sea that once existed in this desert.

   "I - heard the voice of the sea!"

   "That damned executioner is still brutally persecuting my compatriots!"

   "Damn scum, do you want us to be crucified again and exiled to this **** Jedi?"

   "No! Never!"

  As Jason became more and more excited, the lake seemed to hear his call. With a loud "bang", a water column with ten people hugged rose into the sky.

  In the phosphorescent lake water, a beautiful figure slapped his body sideways and was slowly lifted out by the lake water. With the help of a wave like a big hand, he rushed in front of Jason.
