The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 248 246. Too great, right, BOMI?

  On July 1, a report about Bomi’s new game was published in the bimonthly magazine "New Era of Gaming".

  In this report, the game magazine provided a set of pictures and explained some related small settings——

  Bomi’s new tour will meet you soon. This is an action game with an assassin as the protagonist, named "Assassin’s Soul·Maple"

  Although most of the pictures are line drafts, they still make everyone feel bright.

  The so-called line draft refers to a very simple original painting that outlines the character image with lines at the beginning and conducts a quick review without any coloring.

  In addition to the line drafts, there are some relatively late original pictures with people, monsters, and non-human things...

   But they are all more classical images.

  ……

  As soon as the news was released, the players were completely crazy.

   "Fuck! Let me just say it? The previous X2 engine promotional video was not just a mere engine promotion. Obviously, it was for Bomi's new game to create momentum. As expected, the old thief Cao Yang still exposed his original intention!"

   "Yes, the X2 engine has come out. Isn't it a waste of not using it for games? I think it's pretty good. I got another surprise for some reason, and I don't need to stand upside down and eat shit."

  "Hahaha, Boss Cao, who was calculated by the player:

  When you saw the engine promotional video sent by Bomi, did you think it was just a pure engine video?

mistaken!

  This is really a game promotion video.

  When you thought you were seeing the X2 display, boss Cao had already completed the game development. "

"Fuck! Then, if you count it like this, isn't the X2 engine completed a long time ago? Bomi hasn't open sourced X2 for such a long time. It's not as the official said, just because the X2 engine has some bugs. Deal with it?

  But to make a time difference?

  In order to allow your own games to seize the opportunity, is it so late to open source X2? "

   "Yes, boy, you finally understand the real thoughts behind Boss Cao. If it were, I would do it too, to ensure that my game and technology are leading, and then I am sharing the technology.

  When you got Bomi’s technology, they actually even finished the game.

  Perhaps when X2 is open sourced, maybe Bomi’s X3 has already been half developed, but I don’t know when it will be released. "

   "Fuck! Boss Cao has a good time!

  However, as a player, I definitely think that Boss Cao’s doing this is quite good and will not make us wait too long. At least when we can see the new engine coming out, we will know that Bomi’s game is already on sale.

  But for other game developers, it may be more uncomfortable, because the technology is in the hands of Bomi. Although X2 has been open source, who can guarantee that Bomi has not been ahead for half a year on this basis?

  How easy is it to get back? "

   "I think other game makers will be content. If Bomi's X2 is not open source, they will not even have half the production level of Bomi."

  "Anyway, I can see the original paintings of "Assassin's Soul" now. These characters are really well drawn and the design sense is super strong. I am waiting for when the Assassin's Soul will be online.

  I must buy it. "

  ……

  This time, Bomi did not sell any more discs. As Bomi’s second flagship game, Assassin’s Soul is directly on sale on the platform.

  However, the specific release time may be two months later. .

  On the one hand, because the domestic version has just been produced, after testing, it will be sent for localization. Time is definitely too late. It is estimated that it will take at least two months to complete the localization of the East Island and Omi area.

  It’s such a game with extremely high requirements for player operations. Think about it, if it’s not for simultaneous global release, Cao Yang is a bit worried that the players behind will be discouraged by the influence of comments and dare not try such a hard-core action game.

  Although from the performance of the wolf in the past life, there is definitely no problem in sales, but Cao Yang has a long eye, and thinks it is better to sell it globally.

  On the other hand, when the game is not yet on sale, it will take a month or two to promote the warm-up time.

  During this period, Bomi’s promotion team will promote the game in multiple countries and regions at the same time, advertise and promote it.

  At the same time on Bomi’s AIR game platform, it will also be warmed up in advance.

  The headline of the platform store will keep hanging "Assassin's Soul·Maple" until some time after the game is released.

  Until Cao Yang felt that there were not many potential players that could be tapped.

  Going to discs again this time is basically equivalent to making a perfect delivery with the past physical era.

  Cao Yang hopes that the AIR game platform can reach a new level.

  ……

  After this, Bomi’s promotion proceeded in an orderly manner.

At the beginning, Bomi’s AIR game platform hung up the news that "Assassin’s Soul" was about to be released, and added a button that can be reserved, but it did not provide a payment function. If the game is released at that time, players will accept it when it is online. remind.

  At the same time, players can continue to follow the trends of "Assassin's Soul", as long as there is relevant official information released every time, players can receive the news as soon as possible.

  In this way, the publicity function of the AIR game platform has been achieved.

  According to Cao Yang's idea, this time it is not only as simple as selling games, but also to verify the promotion of the AIR game platform from the side.

  Now the AIR game platform has more than 8 million players worldwide.

  There are also more than 8 million domestic players, but among them, a considerable number of people who only play chess and cards have to be taken away.

  For foreign players, they seem to be very interested in the chess and card hall launched by Bomi.

  If there is any national quintessence that has gone out of the country, it is undoubtedly—

  Chinese Mahjong.

  At the beginning, foreigners still didn’t understand what it was, so the daily number of games in the Mahjong area in foreign board games was very low.

  They generally play Texas Hold'em on Bomi’s gaming platform, and more of them play Doudizhu.

  Later, some Chinese students studying abroad stumbled upon the AIR game platform, so they were very excited and spared no effort to promote Mahjong.

  After continuous publicity and fermentation, foreigners have discovered this game with thousands of years of history like a treasure.

  At first, everyone didn't understand how to play, but over time they slowly became obsessed with this game.

  Many Western players called out, “Chinese Mahjong is simply too fun. This game is definitely worth sharing. It looks very simple, but in fact the rules are extremely complicated and it will bring you more fun.”

There are even some mathematics talents who have studied Chinese mahjong. They said on the Internet, "Chinese mahjong is really amazing. On the mathematical model, different formulas and gameplay can be derived. This thing has given us a lot of inspiration. Many of my classmates are still using the Hu Pai method and probability calculation with the highest winning rate among Chinese Mahjong as their graduation thesis."

  As long as it is related to gambling, there will always be people who will study it, especially the problem of probability, which can really make people study it tirelessly.

  In short, the AIR game platform has a large number of users, and this user scale is beyond imagination.

  Many experts predict that with this scale of development, the total number of AIR game platforms worldwide is likely to exceed 100 million in the next three years.

  This time we use the AIR game platform to promote it, and we can get a lot of valuable data, such as the degree of interest of players in this game type, and the proportion of players in ACT games and Chinese-style games.

  There will be how many players will enter because of the promotion of the AIR game platform.

  This will determine Bomi’s promotion strategy in the future, that is, where to spend the money to achieve the greatest promotion effect.

  In order to avoid unnecessary waste.

  ……

After the    platform advertisement was launched, Bomi launched the PV of "Assassin's Soul", which is also a promotional video.

   is about 2 and a half minutes, which is longer than the previous "Shan Hai Jing".

  In this promotional video, you can not only see the world view and map of the game, but also some more interesting gameplay——

  For example, the heroine uses both hands to grab the edge of the cliff to move, release the hook and lock, and then complete the jump in the air.

  The whole process was done in one go, clean and tidy, people can't help but sigh:

  This game really has Chinese martial arts style.

  In addition to the gameplay, it also shows some of the more classic BOSS battles in the game.

  For example, Li Mu, and Jing Ke...

  Although there are no names mentioned in the pictures, the images of these characters give people a high-competitive feeling as soon as they appear.

After Cao Yang’s design, most of these characters have the characteristics of the Warring States period, but they are not exactly the characteristics of that era. They also incorporate some new elements, such as the most common [killing wolf] power of the evil star in the game. .

  There is also the power of ghosts.

  Swordsman's Heart...

   Wait, these settings are integrated with the background of the Warring States period. Although they are still heavy ancient weapons, they are faintly added with some oriental ghosts and images.

  And all of this is perfectly integrated with culture and settings, so that when people watch it, there is no sense of disobedience.

  Everyone who watches the video will be immersed in it, thinking that this PV is quite amazing.

  It seems to show everyone a fictional but real existence of Warring States.

  The pv of "Assassin's Soul" is very well done, and the editing is also in place, so it immediately caused a sensation among players as soon as it was released.

   "Wow, is this really a game made by our country? It's too amazing, right? I can't imagine this is a game we can make."

   "Bomi is the same as opening a plug-in. From the promo, this game is world-class in terms of screen, world view and gameplay!"

   "Boss Cao is sincere not to deceive me. At first, when Bomi said he wanted to make a world-class game, I sneered at it.

  When Bomi pulled up a team of 400 people later, I still dismissed it.

   Later...

  The scriptures of mountains and seas are released, hit me in the face directly.

   and now -

  Bomi has launched another masterpiece.

  The picture quality of single-stroke games is much higher than before.

  Gosh, Bomi is a god!

   "Assassin's Soul" is really amazing. "

  "Yes, this game is really refreshing. It turned out that a part of the x2 promotional video was released. My feeling at the time was that it would be great if it were to be made into a game.

  Unexpectedly, I really made the game. As soon as the Assassin’s Soul Girl promo came out, I felt all goose bumps all over my body. "

"Hahaha, indeed, who isn't it? The battle in this game promotional video made me excited. This action is called a handsome, and that's it for killing skills. The master's tricks are only a moment, so I have this. This is a game of feeling, this is the only one."

   "Boss Cao is really amazing. Just like the assassin, he doesn't say much. You haven't noticed that Bomi has developed a new game. People just throw the assassin's soul into your face.

  The whole thing feels without warning. The game came out all of a sudden. The key is that the quality is still so high. I can hardly imagine how Bomi can develop such a good work in such a short period of time. "

   "I have a great team! You don't look at how much the X2 engine has improved the picture quality of the game on the basis of X1. It is simply the product of two different eras.

  Suddenly jumping from the agricultural era to the industrial era, the texture of the entire game is completely different. "

  "Niu Bian! All I can say is Bomi Niu Bian! Cao Bo Niu Bian!"

   "Yes, Bomi is really amazing.

  Assassin’s Soul, judging from the promo, it really explodes! After watching this video, it feels like watching a martial arts blockbuster. The flying canopy in the video is assassinated and killed by one blow...

  The ancient assassins felt like they were coming out immediately.

  I really regret it now, why did I see the promotional video of this game so early?

  It makes people feel itchy in their hearts, and they can’t sleep at night!

  Ahhhhhhhh!

  Without the assassin’s soul to play, I'm going to die! "

"Me too,"

   "Anyway, Bomi, let's play the game, I'm already hungry and thirsty."

   "Ah! What to do, I originally thought that "The Book of Mountains and Seas" was already the upper limit of Bomi. I didn't expect that after just over a year, Bomi would give an "Assassin's Soul".

Perfect.

  This answer sheet is simply perfect.

so perfect.

  This picture, this texture, and the ancient assassins that we are familiar with, who have been in countless videos and brains thousands of times, fly over the walls, and have an extraordinary skill...

  I didn’t expect Bomi to make it and let us experience it.

   Really great. "

   "Ahhhh~When will I be able to play this game? I really want to play it now."

  "Same as above, Bomi, please send it quickly! I will definitely support you, just ask you to send it quickly!"

  ……

  Assassin’s Soul’s promotional video was released, not only caused an uproar in the player circle, but also caused a major earthquake in the industry.

   But this time everyone seems to get used to it.

  Because every time Bomi has a new action, it will cause an industry earthquake.

On the one hand, it shows that Boss Cao is really powerful and always able to come up with new things. On the other hand, it can only show that Bomi is really too strong and can put all of Cao’s unmarginal ideas on the ground. This is not what any game company can do. Made it.

  When I saw the promo, the planning and art of Xishanju had been studied together for a long time.

  "This Nima...The shooting effect is so good, it should be made with CG, right?"

  "What age is it, do you still suspect that people use CG animations? Couldn't the X2 engine be able to convince you?"

   "Ah, this..." The art classmate felt embarrassed by the game, "Aren't we discussing this? It's also possible to make an animation."

  "This pv is obviously in-game performance. The effect presented by the previous X2 engine is similar to this, but the machine should be better. I don’t know how it performs on low-end machines..."

   "Fuck, it's really, it's already quite amazing to have such a texture in the game!"

   "Anyway, I don't know what others think. After this game is online, I will definitely buy it for research."

"Me too."

"Me too."

   "Me too. It's not for playing games or having a personal admiration for Bomi. I just want to study how other people's games are done. How can I do it so well?"

   "Hey? I said you guys, don't say it too early, some games may seem to be strong on the surface, but what about a batch of bad ones after entering the game?

  Think about it, stand-alone games are no better than online games. Online games have a good platform. The main game is social, and the game is endless fun.

  Single-player games, whether it is for the gameplay or the plot, worldview and character settings, the requirements are too high. "

   "Yes, especially now... The quality of stand-alone games has been pushed to a very high level by Bomi. It is usually difficult for companies to enter, and they can only follow the trend and have some soup.

  I don’t know if Bomi’s new game can achieve the desired effect this time. "

   "I think it would be good to maintain the reputation, mainly because the previous "Shan Hai Jing" was really too successful.

  Success actually has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can help Bomi earn a lot of money, and it can also bring them diehard fans, and at the same time, it can leave a good reputation for the games made by Bomi.

  But at the same time, Bomi's pressure is also great, because the mountain and ocean classics have made players' expectations for Bomi reach a very high level. If you do not meet the player's expectations, they will definitely make complaints.

  It is possible that the final effect will be very good, but the plot or the gameplay is not satisfactory, which will cause the game to crash this time, and Bomi’s reputation will also be damaged. "

   "Yes, just like Daewoo's The Legend of Sword and Fairy Series, the first generation is too classic, so once the fairy sword 2 does not meet the expectations of the players, it will sell very poorly."

   "Hahaha, it is true, but as long as you pass this trough, you will be able to usher in the next wave of peaks. You can see that after experiencing Xian2, Xianjian 3 will sell very well."

   "So, who knows this time Bomi's new game is Fairy Sword 2, or can it surpass the Shan Hai Jing, or the same status as the Shan Hai Jing?"

   "Let's take a look, this game will be released soon. Haven't you seen what is written on the AIR game platform? It will be released on September 1, 2005."

  ……
