Chapter 99 I lost my hemp
Not to mention how Luo Bai was complained about by Mr. Xiao for a while afterwards, but the announcement of "Hollow Knight" was first blown out by Luo Bai's "twisting" appearance at the Xiaopo Station Carnival.
"Luo Bai's work", "original new work", "Lei Aori".
Just typing these three tags can attract countless attention.
But in fact, the popularity of Hollow Knight has not reached the level Xiao Weirui imagined.
The reason... All the popularity of Hollow Knight was sucked away by Mr. Luo himself.
At that time, as long as I opened the little website, the most played video in the game section was the whole process of Mr. Luo from escaping to being pushed to the ground by a big man, and then put on the stage.
"Let this guy not do mirrorDLC! Retribution!"
"Who shouted, "Let go of my father?"
"The questions you ask are too conservative. If I were asked to go up, I would directly ask Mr. Luo if he has any ideas for making new butter."
Of course, in addition to the fun-filled barrage, there is also some yin and yang of "Brother Understanding".
"It's nothing more than pure hype, just promoting a new game, everyone knows."
"Do you really think that the boss of a game company will wear COS clothes to visit exhibitions? Isn't the Haitian Feast more fun than the Broken Wall Comic Expo? It makes money, not shabby."
"It's not interesting. It's just a script. There are so many people on stage."
Such "understanding brother" will undoubtedly be scolded.
"Even if this is a way to promote the game, we are very happy to see it. It's none of your business to scream here?"
"Have you seen how many company bosses in China can be as relaxed as Mr. Luo?"
"You can go away, stop showing off your poor IQ, you are just like an imbecile. Didn't you leave a placenta when you were born? Be careful to be injured by a dump truck when you go out."
Let’s leave aside the discussion of the gaming area for now.
Go to the ghost animal section and you will find that the top five on the list are all ghost animals related to Luo Bai.
For example, the top-ranked "Mission: Impossible X: Luo Bai's Infiltration"
The original protagonist in the game was directly replaced with Luo Bai's face. Through the cutting of video and audio, it actually made these idiot netizens have a different kind of fun.
And the barrage environment here is obviously much better than next door.
The words on the barrage are:
"As we all know, videos cannot be photoshopped, so the videos are real."
"Congratulations to Mr. Luo for joining the Ghostly All-Stars!"
"I'm laughing so hard. My identity was exposed and I wanted to run away, but it was okay to be directly pushed to the ground by my elder brother."
In addition, some people directly integrated Luo Bai's voice package and began to adapt and cover some classic old songs, which also had a good number of plays.
When Xiao Weirui reported the news to Luo Bai, Luo Bai admitted that he was confused.
When did I, Luo, deserve to enjoy Rebus’s treatment? I'm just a gamer.
Everyone, please pay close attention to Hollow Knight! Don’t you guys, players, usually say that you don’t play enough Ori? Didn’t you say you want me to release a new work?
Hollow Knight is more fun to fight than Ori. Don't you guys pay close attention to it?
"Mr. Luo, next time you have to take matters into your own hands, I hope you will discuss it with me in advance.
Although I also know that our original intention is to make high profits, the less the cost, the better. ”
Facing Xiao Weirui's eyes, Luo Bai could only smile awkwardly:
"Definitely, definitely."
It’s hard to resist. It’s okay to be criticized by netizens for being real. Hollow Knight wasn’t even publicized. I’m at a loss.
……
Throughout August, except for the small station carnival held in Shanghai at the beginning of the month, the only news about my original intention was that I went overseas and came back with a few awards.
Of course, Luo Bai didn't go there himself, he had someone pick it up for him.
This is not surprising. For Ori, who has already won the TGA Game of the Year, not winning the award is not Ori's loss, but the loss of other awards. The sales volume of Darkest Dungeon has successfully exceeded the 2 million mark, and it has also become quite popular overseas.
Many media who originally did not pay much attention to this game also began to try this game and gave quite weighty scores.
Overall, things are looking good.
Of course, for the current original intention, the most important thing is the development work of "Hollow Knight" at hand.
Two months have passed, and the development of Hollow has officially entered the schedule.
The progress is not bad.
At that time, Luo Bai's office.
"You... avenge your private revenge! You are a son of man in vain!"
Pu Xingyu lay on the table, as tired as a dead dog.
Luo Bai's expression showed no fluctuation, and he even wanted to laugh a little. He asked lightly:
"Report on the recent development progress."
Pu Xingyu straightened his waist and said seriously:
"At present, the overall game framework has been determined. The main technical trouble encountered is that the Knight's action system is still relatively rigid and needs more detailed polishing by the attack special effects team.
Of the two maps produced so far, there are still big bugs in the connection between Ditmouth and Green Trail.
The action design of monsters is also relatively rigid and needs further debugging..."
Luo Bai nodded slightly to show understanding:
"By the way, how is the first promotional video going?"
"The art team has come up with several plans, and now we're just waiting for Brother Luo to make your decision."
Luo Bai raised his chin slightly, blinking and calculating the progress in his mind. After confirming that this was in line with his development plan for the hollow, he finally smiled and nodded with satisfaction:
“Well done.”
"Hoo!"
Pu Xingyu lay on the table like a corpse again,
"Brother Luo, can you give me a holiday?"
"If you want to take a vacation, go ask for it yourself. I never remember that I said I wouldn't let you take a vacation."
Luo Bai leaned back on the sofa chair behind him and hummed a tune comfortably.
Pu Xingyu raised his tired face and muttered:
"I'm not talking about that kind of vacation! Brother Luo, I was wrong, please forgive me!
I've been really stressed out lately. I'm asked every day what I should do with this thing. How do I know what to do?
I'm just a mortal, okay...you can't ask me for your perversion. ”
"Okay."
Pu Xingyu, who was still nagging at first, immediately became happy:
"Long live!"
Seeing Luo Bai showing him the middle finger, he didn't take it seriously. Pu Xingyu happily opened the door and went out.
Luo Bai just smiled.
It is true that the current technical problems encountered by the team cannot be solved by Pu Xingyu. Even if Pu Xingyu doesn't say anything, he will take action on his own next.
However, I still decided on the idea of making a promotional video.
September 3rd.
The first PV of "Hollow Knight" was launched simultaneously on the entire network.
