Chapter 58: There will be a day when the original intention is betrayed
(Change the time when the first promotional video comes out, it should be April 1st.)
"To say that the game that has completely exploded the gaming industry recently is "Ori and the Dark Forest" developed by Chuxin Game Studio.
With artworks that are like works of art, its almost subversive creation of horizontal 2D action games has caused an uproar not only at home, but also abroad.
Recently, steam sales have exceeded 5 million, and it still firmly occupies the top three positions in the weekly sales list of the steam platform.
However, even such a phenomenal game that can be called a work of art has been criticized by countless loyal fans because of its "too short" size.
When the player community called on Chuxin Game Studio to develop Ori 2 non-stop, at 12 noon on April 1st, Chuxin Game Studio announced simultaneously on its official website and steam platform that it was led by well-known game producer Luo Bai. Knife, the latest game "Darkest Dungeon" will be launched simultaneously on July 1st.
And released a related game promotional video at the same time.
The author also watched it immediately.
But after two minutes, the author had only one thought in his mind - huge disappointment!
Is this still the original game studio we are familiar with? Is this still the original game studio that produced Ori?
This simple painting, this ugly monster and the protagonist all show that the original intention has forgotten the fine tradition of making the graphics of each game to the extreme.
Is this the annihilation of willfulness or the loss of morality?
It turns out that the original intention of the "dragon-slaying warrior" in the gaming world has been covered with scales for some time. Is it worthy of its name "original intention"?
Cutting corners on the art is tantamount to cutting off one's arms. I believe that players will never condone Chu Xin's misbehavior, and the final sales will severely defeat Chu Xin! ”
Unsurprisingly, the comment section was full of quarrels under such a small soft article.
"What a rubbish editor, you know a lot and are just screaming here. Do you really think that only pictures like Ori's that are so beautiful that they shock the soul can be called good art?
The unique Gothic painting style of "Darkest Dungeon" is unique among the similar styles of painting I have seen so far!
This is absolutely top-notch art work in the world. Why does it seem like cutting corners in your eyes?
The wild boar has never eaten fine bran, right? ”
"I have the same idea as the author of this article. Mr. Luo just needs to make Ori 2. So many players are eagerly waiting for him to do it, but he just doesn't do it. Is he going against the players?
< br>
This kind of guy who is so smug with even a little bit of talent is so arrogant! Fans have changed their ways.
Luo Bai? Talent but no virtue! ”
The two high praise comments at the top are a little more civilized, but the ones further down are too dirty to read.
The editor of the soft article smiled from ear to ear when he saw his little soft article with an explosion of clicks.
This month I can earn several thousand dollars more.
As for the game "Darkest Dungeon", is it any good?
nonsense!
The editor is not an idiot, how can the quality of a game created with original intentions be so bad?
However, do you think anyone can boast of their original intentions?
As far as the reputation of Chuxin Game Studio in China is concerned, most people won’t make any splash when they praise Chuxin.
After all, as early as a few months ago, too many people had given rainbow farts to Chu Xin from various angles. Who is he?
Therefore, we can only find another way to pick things up from this perspective and deceive clicks.
Even so, the editor didn't even dare to criticize it directly. I could only say euphemistically that it was digging one's own grave to live up to players' expectations.
The main thing is to pick things with one hand.
Although there are many popular people, there are still many people who are not satisfied with their original intentions.
At that time, it was the general manager’s office of Tianxing Games.
Tang Yunpeng stared at the computer screen in front of him, while tapping his fingers like flying patterns, he took the time to answer Lu Mayu's call.
"Hey, Lao Lu, why are you calling me when you have nothing to do?" The crackling sound of tapping was quite deceptive.
Lu Mayu on the other end of the phone smiled and joked:
"Old Tang, didn't you say that now you have been reduced to sitting in the office and retiring? What? This is your second spring again?"
As soon as the letter of apology came out, Lu Maru knew that he had wrongly blamed Tang Yunpeng.
The next night, I made Tang Yunpeng very drunk. I was so excited that I wanted to take him to experience something worth three thousand five thousand.
That is to say, Tang Yunpeng is determined.
Afterwards, when Lu Maru heard that the place had just been swept that day, his face turned green and he was even teased by Tang Yunpeng.
He said that if he hadn't stopped Lao Lu, there might have been another video of Ma Ru looking for a beauty on the Internet.
Of course, Tang Yunpeng's life is actually quite difficult now.
On the surface, Tang Yunpeng has indeed been vindicated and has even been promoted to the position of general manager of Tianxing.
But anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story knows that Tang Yunpeng is now effectively idle.
The game department was handed over to another person, and he now stays in the office all day long. No one cares about him no matter what he does, but he can't interfere with everything in the company.
Give the players an explanation from the outside, and give an explanation to your own people internally.
A forty-three-year-old gold medal game producer is in the golden age of career development.
He is full of energy, has accumulated enough knowledge and creativity in his mind, and has a considerable degree of control over market preferences.
Obviously with such conditions, he could only stay in the office all day to support himself. This was a big blow to Tang Yunpeng.
But adults have to bear the consequences of their choices. Compared to Liang Renfeng, who was kicked out directly, his situation is no longer much better.
Tang Yunpeng does not regret his choice.
This has nothing to do with reputation, just some kind of "stupid" persistence by a game maker.
It was precisely because he saw the situation he was about to face that Tang Yunpeng recommended Mo Yun, a young man, to leave Tianxing after Luo Bai sent out the recruitment video for "Ori and Me".
Without him to cover his head, if this little guy stays in Tianxing, the final result will not be good.
A young man as talented as him should go somewhere younger and more dynamic.
"It's not like having a second youth, it's just being bored and finding something to do for yourself."
Tang Yunpeng took his hands off the keyboard and lit a cigarette for himself with his right hand.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. You should have seen the promotional video of "Darkest Dungeon". What do you think?"
Lu Maru asked.
After all, he was the most accomplished friend he knew in the game industry. When he couldn't understand the promotional video of "Darkest Dungeon", Lu Maru naturally wanted to come and ask Tang Yunpeng for advice.
"What do I think?"
The cigarette in the right corner of Tang Yunpeng's mouth was slightly raised,
"Sit and watch."
Following Tang Yunpeng's line of sight, an article titled "Mr. Luo's Choice—Yunpeng's Bold Statement" has been finalized.
release.
