Chapter 88 Useless Super Hotspot
[Darkest Dungeon, 1,742,839 copies sold. ]
Although there is a certain gap with Mirror and Ori, the sales volume in one month is enough to make people in the industry stare out.
It can be regarded as saving Luo Bai's reputation.
Didn’t you see that the voices that said Luo Baijiang was exhausted are now silent?
However, let’s take a look at the system panel in the distance, folks.
【Name: Luo Bai】
[Ability to master: CG drawing (master level), game design (advanced), project scheduling (advanced), map design (intermediate), programming ability (intermediate)... (expandable)]
[Official works: mirror, Ori and the Blind Forest, Darkest Dungeon]
【Existing reputation: 104281】
[Evaluation: Thoroughly purified! 】
In fact, the improvement in mastering ability is not big, but the project scheduling has been upgraded to a higher level. This is the gain brought by developing Dark Dungeon in a more standardized development environment.
This also gave Luo Bai a deeper understanding of the operating logic of the ability system.
It's not as Luo Bai imagined at the beginning. If you win a certain game, a series of key points of that game will be poured into your mind, and your abilities will immediately improve.
You need a digestion process.
Moreover, it is not enough to digest it with your brain. You also need to practice it. Only after you truly develop the game can the knowledge truly become your own.
Wait...
"Damn it! What's the point of this popularity?"
Seeing that the popularity was enough for a luxurious prize pool, Luo Bai was shocked.
However, after carefully checking the specific provision of popularity points, Luo Bai's mouth twitched.
Actually, most of them were brought by Dark Dungeon... This is too exaggerated.
Previously, the two games Mirror and Ori combined had earned almost 150,000 reputation points.
Now, a single game of Darkest Dungeon has exceeded 100,000 reputation points. Of course, a considerable part of this must be brought by Ori, who has sold nearly 7 million units, but the vast majority is still provided by Darkest Dungeon itself.
It can only be said that this kind of game with obvious advantages and disadvantages is really unmatched by other games in terms of cultivating die-hard fans.
The final evaluation of the system is really flawless.
Don't deal with those useless things, come and draw a lottery, brothers!
Luxurious turntable! open!
What stood before me was the familiar big turntable made of dirt.
"Can the system upgrade your UI to make this carousel look better?"
The system ignored Luo Bai's complaints and the turntable pointer rotated rapidly.
There are game categories: "Monster Hunter Series", "Uncharted Series", "Resident Evil Series"...
There are skills: arrangement ability (master level), plot creation (master level), 3D modeling (master level)...
There are prop categories: super hot spots, judges’ preference, flash of inspiration...
Here are some more mouth-watering works.
But to be honest, Luo Bai doesn't really want to win these masterpieces on the carousel right now.
Firstly, there are still three unfinished games in hand. Even if my original intention is running at full speed, I still can't finish them.
Secondly, you can’t play the games in the luxurious prize pool even if you win the lottery. Are you just greedy?
On the contrary, it was the master-level 3D modeling ability that made Luo Bai want it.
With this thing, at least when it comes to setting up a 3D modeling team, it will be much smoother.
Otherwise, Luo Bai would have no choice but to poach people everywhere.
Following Luo Bai's gaze, the pointer of the turntable slowly stopped in the props column.
【Super Hotspot】
Luo Bai was a little silent.
He has used the system's props several times. Whether it is "Meeting on a Narrow Road" or "Recruiting Talents", the effects are actually quite terrifying.
And these are just props in the ordinary prize pool.
So what kind of terrifying effects does this prop from the luxurious prize pool called "Super Hot Spot" have?
[Super hot spot: Select one of your games, and on the eve of its release, it will trigger a "world-renowned" event related to the theme of the game. 】
[Evaluation: Don’t think about it. Even if you make a zombie-themed game, it won’t be Resident Evil. You’d better save on destroying the world. 】
Luo Bai:?
Startled him.
When Luo Bai saw the introduction of this prop in such a loud tone at first, he started to have random thoughts in his mind. But...
The game This War of Mine works.
But starting an uncontrolled mini-war just to announce a game? Get lost.
No one in their right mind would do something like this in Shakou.
What’s the use of this luxurious prop?
Luo Bai's face turned sour. One hundred thousand reputations were wasted in this way. How could he not be so bad?
It’s better to have a ten-game winning streak in the elite prize pool!
A knock on the door outside the office woke Luo Bai up.
"Please come in."
Pu Xingyu was in high spirits and pushed the door open with great enthusiasm.
He finally returned to work, and his mood has been very good these days. The first thing he does when he wakes up and before going to bed every day is to look at the comments and praises from players on the mods he uploaded.
Pu Xingyu finally realized why Brother Luo was so happy making games.
Although he only made a skin mod, it still brought him a great sense of accomplishment.
As soon as work resumed, he happily ran into Luo Bai's office, wanting to take credit.
Just...
"Brother Luo, are you in a bad mood?"
Pu Xingyu looked at Luo Bai's still a bit smelly face and asked weakly.
"Is it so obvious?" Luo Bai wiped his face.
It's no wonder, this is a popularity value of 100,000 people! Although I can still make money in the future, it just goes to waste.
It doesn't work anymore, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Bai adjusted his mentality:
"You came just in time. This is the planning document for "Hollow Knight". Only Mr. Xiao has seen it now. Please take a look at it if you have nothing to do.
A new project should be launched in the next few days. ”
Pu Xingyu:?
At that time, Pu Xingyu, who didn't know that he was almost stabbed, had a question mark in his mind.
"Brother Luo, you won't be working on the plan alone during this month's holiday, right?"
Although the tone was questioning, Pu Xingyu was actually very sure.
Brother Luo is such a guy who likes to take care of everything big and small, uh... only in games,
"How is it possible? I spend an hour or two every day making this thing."
He wasn't lying. All the designs for Hollow Knight were in his head. It just took a certain amount of effort to present them in a systematic and easy-to-understand way for the development team.
But Pu Xingyu doesn't think so.
Looking at this mature plan in hand, I can see that it took Brother Luo to complete it within a month by forgetting about food and sleep every day.
He gave everyone a day off and secretly worked overtime alone. He really made me cry to death!
What does it mean to be a true game lover! All domestic developers should learn from Brother Luo!
Pu Xingyu looked at Luo Bai solemnly:
"Brother Luo, I think you should find yourself a girlfriend."
Luo Bai was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Pu Xingyu as if he thought of something, and asked rather suspiciously:
"Xiao Pu, you won't be single this month, right?"
When someone asks a question that is difficult for you to answer, all you need to do is throw the question back. Jie Jie Jie!
Luo Bai silently praised himself in his heart.
But who would have thought that Pu Xingyu’s little face would turn red:
"I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
Luo Bai:?
I just wanted to change the subject. You little brat, you are really single!
Pu Xingyu! You deserve to die!

Darkest Dungeon has officially come to an end here. Tomorrow I will write two chapters to make the daily transition, and then start the transition to Hollow Knight.
Rush, rush, rush.
As a rule, I would like to ask everyone to follow up on my studies. This is really important to me!
Tomorrow will be the same time, see you there~
