Chapter 189: The commotion caused by "Cyber·Apotheosis of the Gods"
Lobai's office.
Pu Xingyu looked at Luo Bai solemnly, like a student facing a big exam.
Luo Bai's expression was also very serious. After opening an application file on the computer, a window game appeared in front of him.
Start the game, create a character, and create a big world.
Looking at the familiar copper axe, copper dagger, and copper pickaxe.
Luo Bai nodded slightly.
Pulling up trees, smashing cans, and going to the ground.
The skeleton in front was very dangerous. Luo Bai first chose to surround the villain he created with bricks.
Then I built three platforms on the solid wood bricks, switched to the wooden hammer, and hit them twice.
Then, when he enthusiastically switched out his bow and arrow, he planned to use this game mechanism to severely torture the skeleton in front of him.
Wooden arrows were blocked by solid wood bricks.
Luo Bai:?
Not believing in evil, Luo Bai began to experiment with well-known game mechanics such as half bricks.
there is none left! All gone!
Pu Xingyu was proud of himself behind him.
For today's big test, he had been sleeping and forgetting to eat for a long time.
BUGs like this were discovered during the internal testing of Part 2, and it took them a long time to successfully fix it.
Now, Brother Luo, you can’t find fault with us!
Jie Jie Jie!
Luo Bai turned around, looked at Pu Xingyu who was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"I'm not satisfied."
"Huh?"
Pu Xingyu was shocked and asked with some confusion,
"Brother Luo, if there is any problem, I will go back and correct it right away."
But Luo Bai pointed at the computer screen excitedly:
"What's my bug! What's my big bug? I don't really approve of Terraria like this!"
That's right, what appeared in Luo Bai's eyes at this moment was the most praised game on the Steam platform in his previous life - the original internal beta version of Terraria.
A year has passed from "Potato Brothers" to "Two People".
Although Pu Xingyu was busy dealing with headhunting for a certain period of time, after that, Chuxin Part 2 was still in full swing.
Luo Bai just gave Pu Xingyu several choices.
Compared to the Potato Brothers who seemed to be forced upon him by Luo Bai at that time, Pu Xingyu only considered the game Terraria for one night.
It has been developed for more than half a year now.
Some of the core mechanics of the game have also been designed very well, and all that needs to be done now is to keep piling stuff into it.
As we all know, sandbox games like this have a lot of bugs.
Pu Xingyu was also crazy in the days after the release of Two People, because Brother Luo will definitely check the development progress of Terraria,
Only then did the second part fix some of the bugs that have been discovered in the game.
Who would have thought that Brother Luo would want those bugs!
Looking at Pu Xingyu who looked doubtful about life, Luo Bai also explained:
"Xingyu, for an ordinary game, the fewer bugs, the better.
But Terraria is a sandbox game, and the most important thing about this type of game, as I’ve told you before, is freedom.
As long as they are not malignant bugs that affect the normal operation of the game, all benign bugs in such games can be turned into a part of the gameplay. ”
"So..."
Pu Xingyu sighed.
"So, bring back the previous version."
Luo Bai smiled and raised his thumb towards Pu Xingyu.
So why have I been staying up so late these past few days and leading the people from Part 2 to fix bugs?
Pu Xingyu somewhat doubts life.
"Come on, I'll treat you to a late-night snack tonight."
After sending Pu Xingyu away, Luo Bai also stretched and looked at the folder called "DOOM" in front of him.
He stood up suddenly as if he had gone crazy, holding a non-existent electric saw with both hands, and then aimed at the air in front of him and cut it in half!
"Ha!"
Luo Bai patted his forehead:
"Yeah, it's too good."
The old man lay back on the seat behind him with a red face.
……
Before the popularity of two-person couples had completely passed, a big earthquake occurred in the domestic gaming circle.
On May 2, the AAA masterpiece "Cyber·Fengshen", developed by Xiangyun Games, finally released its first PV.
In the video, there is a huge Chaoge City with a strong sense of technology and neon lights half hanging in the sky.
There is Huntian Ling wearing a mecha with a three-dimensional display screen like a ribbon floating around her body; two intelligent optical brains are mounted on her shoulders, and there is a spider-like mechanical art body behind her; she holds a mechanical restraint ring and a The ultimate individual submachine gun Cyber Nezha.
There is Lu Yue, a super hacker whose whole body is filled with various pipes and soaked in nutrient solution, but he can invade the world with countless viruses in a single thought.
All kinds of mechanical behemoths, the cyber army marches rapidly on the wasteland with the three-dimensional propulsion device behind them, majestic...
All in all, a blast!
Although it was only a video of less than three minutes, domestic players were still completely climaxed.
"What the hell, is this really a domestic game? I don't believe it! What kind of epoch-making work is this?
Just for this setting and this art, even if everything else is mediocre, I'm still willing to support it! ”
"Is Xiangyun crazy? Do you dare to draw such a big cake?"
"The people upstairs don't want to watch domestic games, right? If there is any movement, just say Huabing. What if it is made?"
“I don’t want domestically produced games to be good? These big game companies should make them themselves!
Anyway, until this game comes out and I see the finished product, I still have a wait-and-see attitude. ”
Under these normal comments discussing the game, there will inevitably be people who show their original intentions and severely criticize the game.
"Everyone has always said that the original intention is to make domestic games, but in my opinion, there is still a gap compared with the established domestic manufacturers."
“When I saw your comment, I slowly typed a ‘?’. Who made the first 3A game in China?
The reason why Xiangyun Games dares to try this area is because who has stepped through all the pitfalls?
You have no idea how much Wanda has lost? Now you are here to try and disobey your original intention? Are you worthy? ”
"No, what's the fuss about this kind of thing? Why do you want to bring out your original intention when you have nothing to do?"
When the PV of Xiangyun Games stirred up waves and shocked the domestic gaming circle, many Chinese people directly uploaded the PV to YouTube.
After receiving feedback from many foreign players, we directly edited the relevant content into videos and sent them to Xiaopo Station and various short video platforms.
"Reactions of foreign players watching the first promotional video of Cyber·Fengshen"
The first thing that caught my eye was the response from the video publisher that was pinned to the top of the comment area.
[This game is the latest work of ‘Xiangyun’, a well-known game company in Yanguo. ]
Then the second one, the most popular reply is:
[Is this Chuxin’s new work? IMHO, this is awesome! ]
The barrage instantly flashed across the screen with the words "red and bright and in a trance".
"The original intention's reputation overseas is already evident. I very much hope that Xiangyun Games' "Cyber·Fengshen" can succeed in one fell swoop and make more foreign players aware of domestic games."
"Yes, if Xiangyun can really achieve the level of PV, I will definitely buy the games that Xiangyun releases in the future."
Second most popular comment:
[Excuse me? ]
When it comes to price, many netizens also came forward to speak.
"At this time, I still want to criticize my original intention.
The price of Chuxin games is too cheap, which is a harm to domestic games.
A game with the quality of Dark Souls only costs 199. How do other game manufacturers price it? ”
"Your statement is biased. The original intention of pricing cheaply was to consider the player base.
As long as the quality of a game passes and sales increase, the player base will pay for it, no matter whether it is expensive or cheap. ”
“Since everyone will pay if the quality passes the standard, then why not make it more expensive?”
"Because I'm a fucking player!"
In addition to video bloggers who directly post PVs, there are also many people who directly post videos of foreigners commenting on this PV.
It also has a large number of plays.
Anyway, exporting and re-exporting hot news to domestic sales is basically a traditional entertainment skill.
Everyone was so amused by the news about "Cyber·Fengshen" on the Internet that they turned to look at China.
What is the attitude of the domestic big players in the industry towards "Cyber·Fengshen"?
In the past two days, Luo Bai's Weibo was almost exploded by Aite.
Everyone asked him to watch the latest PV of Xiangyun Games.
As a hardcore game enthusiast, Luo certainly doesn't have that kind of sectarian outlook.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have told the truth like that to Old Tang, who was reinstated in Tianxing Official.
After he watched this PV, he first came to a conclusion.
If this pie can really be made, it will definitely get the support of the players!
There is no reason not to support it. The skin of Cyber and the bones of Fengshen. Luo Bai himself was very excited just when he saw this PV.
Many interesting ideas immediately popped into my mind.
But in the end, Luo Bai quickly calmed down and sighed.
Still the same problem.
Development costs are too exaggerated!
Hundreds of millions? Can't stop it!
The development process of the game is one step at a time. Thanks to the efforts of the predecessors, it is convenient for future generations. This is also the development history of the game engine.
In all the mainstream games currently on the market, you can basically see shadows in previous games.
There are not many people who can be pioneers.
Everyone basically takes other people’s wheels and uses them.
This is why it took so long for Luo Bai to make Ori, because there were no wheels to use.
Later, the speed of making holes was much faster.
But what kind of subject matter are you working on now?
Cyberpunk?
There are many 2D games with cyberpunk elements on the market, but there are almost no 3D games.
Become a god?
Don't be ridiculous, games have been developed for so many years, have you ever seen a 3D game with a famous title?
I really want to make a version of "Cyber·Fengshen".
First of all, you have to buy a lot of cyberpunk classics such as "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and "Blade Runner" to gnaw on.
There are breakthroughs in plot, core, and art.
Secondly, it’s about canonizing gods.
How do you combine cyber elements with magic weapons and supernatural powers? Even if you can do this, don't forget it.
Everything has to start from scratch!
Do you want to play a game for ten years or twenty years?
For a development cycle of this length, the salaries of employees alone are astronomical.
What's more, if you have the technical accumulation, can you do it?
Of course, Luo Bai certainly doesn’t think that Xiangyun Games’ choice to touch on this subject was a wrong decision.
Someone has to take the first step.
It is precisely because of standing on the shoulders of countless predecessors that the current gaming world and even the human world can be so prosperous.
However, trying such a big subject right from the beginning, I can only say... Luo Bai really doesn't believe that Xiangyun can have such courage.
Even if you just make a smaller game to test the waters first?
For example, choose one or two articles from the more classic classical literature about ghosts and monsters, such as Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and Zazu from Youyang.
For example, Song Dingbo's Ghost Hunting, A Chinese Ghost Story, etc.
Come on first, can’t we use cybernetic ghosts? Come on, can’t we use high technology to catch monsters?
Make a few games to accumulate technical skills, and finally compile them into a cybernetic universe.
It's impossible not to get started. It depends on whether you want to do it or not.
So what do Xiangyun Games think?
Luo didn't know, but the players' voices hoping that he would express their opinions on this PV were really enthusiastic, and Luo Bai couldn't pretend he didn't see it.
"The PV is very shocking, if Xiangyun can really achieve such an effect.
This is great news for both the domestic gaming community and the global gaming community.
expect! ”
Mr. Luo is quite generous.
Although he is not optimistic about Xiangyun Games, this does not prevent him from being optimistic about the idea of "Cyber·Fengshen".
After receiving Luo Bai's response, fans of Xiangyun Games were like eunuchs who had received an imperial edict, and they began to spread the word all over the world.
"Mr. Luo is also optimistic about "Cyber·Apotheosis of the Gods". You guys, you guys, just stay back!"
No, which of your eyes saw that I was optimistic about "Cyber: Conferred Gods"?
Didn't I add a modifier? If Xiangyun can really achieve such an effect.
In fact, these guys who took things out of context are relatively well-established.
Soon, Luo Bai saw some news such as "Luo Bai was shocked after seeing Cyber Gods, and decided to stop writing games completely."
Damn it, the game hasn’t even been released yet, why are you bragging about it?
Luo Bai was originally angry and wanted to respond, but he thought about it.
There is no need to respond, it is better to just concentrate on making DOOM.
First Terraria, then DOOM, and there are still many games to do later. Do you know how busy I am?
Luo Bai was not going to pay attention, but on the fourth day after the PV was released, Xiangyun finally responded.
Then, Luo was involved in the event gorgeously.
Luo Bai, who was woken up by Xiao Weirui's serial calls from his nap, was angry now.
