Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 136 The tug-of-war of headwind propaganda!

No matter what the voices of the outside world say, after a lapse of one month, Chuxin issued another notice.

This time the video was even more outrageous than the last one.

At least I told the players last time that this game is called "Big Sushi", oh, that's Dark Souls.

This time, it was directly a dark background picture, and suddenly a raging flame ignited.

And then...it's gone.

After receiving the news, Er Xiao and the more than [-] players squatting in the live broadcast room were all stunned.

"A ball of fire? What the hell? Brothers have their pants off, so you just show us this?"

"Good news! Dark Souls has a new trailer! The bad news is a fire."

"A ball of fire? What the hell?"

"It's literally a fire."

While everyone was a little disappointed, their expectations for this game became even stronger.

When he left Wanda last time, where did Mr. Luo engage in such a battle?

The promotion started when the game was just established, and now the second trailer has been released, but nothing useful has been released.

What does this mean?Mr. Luo is very confident in this game!

Everyone still believes in Luo Bai's works.

However, it was the media and sunspots from all walks of life who had different opinions from the Chuxin fan group.

"What the hell is going on in Chuxin's mind? Wanda's sudden death is a celebration, right? Can Dark Soul be a big hit?"

"Luo Bai's aggressiveness is due to his lack of skills. I just want to say about the previous few games. This guy is not good at making games, and his publicity is indeed top-notch.

Whether it was the first touch with Tianxing, or the kind of marginal mods in the dark dungeon later, and the appearance of Hollow Knight at the Nintendo press conference.

It's completely like a textbook in the industry. You see, Wanda didn't announce it. Wouldn't it be overturned?
In this era of capital flow, if the publicity is done well, a piece of shit can take off. "

"Do you really think you are the world's largest game company? A guy who just died suddenly from the game, what qualifications does he have to make such a mysterious announcement?"

As for this group of aggressive people, Luo Bai's fans will naturally not bear it.

"It doesn't matter to you whether the game sells well or not? You shouldn't pay attention to the quality of the game. Is the game fun? What imbecility?"

"You said you were talking to Tianxing, this should be a rumor. Just wait, the internet police will be here soon."

"The game promotion is also drunk, yo, you are typing in the comment area now, aren't you promoting it? What double standards are low energy ÷ medium ÷."

In the first stage, the fight between black and white in the comment area was evenly matched.

……

The time came to July, during an interview with an excellent producer.

"Mr. Luo, what kind of game is Dark Souls?"

Looking at the swaying microphones under the stage, Luo Bai smiled slightly:
"Actually, it's a game type that everyone is very familiar with, like Ori."

The light and fluffy words caused countless waves in the audience.

Everyone knows that the one in front of him has sparked heated discussions around the world, is known as the light of domestic games, and is looming over the heads of all domestic stand-alone game producers.

It is the developer of the brand-new game type "Ori" that has a profound impact on the development of subsequent games!
It seems that the defeat of Wanda and the Colossus forced him to set foot in the field he is best at to find his way back!

All of a sudden, many media people in the audience have already thought about the title of their next report, which is absolutely amazing!

"Mr. Luo, in other words, Dark Souls is actually a 3D Ori-like game?

Was it because of Wanda's failure that you made this decision? "

The reporter asked a question that seemed very sharp, but Luo Bai's expression didn't fluctuate in any way, he just smiled softly, looking confident.

But I saw him staring at the camera calmly, and stretched out a finger:
"First, it's not accurate to say that Dark Souls is a 3D Ori-like game. In my mind, I actually prefer to call it a Soul-like game!"

After all, he stretched out his second finger:
"Secondly, Wanda did not fail, and has already met my psychological expectations for its performance.

Dark Soul is a concept that has been in my mind for a long time, and there is no such thing as doing this kind of theme for this kind of theme. "

mad!Crazy!
The game media people in the audience were all shocked by Luo Bai's words.

"Like Ori is not accurate", "Soul-like games".

Luo Bai is actually publicizing here that he is about to create a brand new game genre?

This is really big news!
The microphone couldn't wait as if it was about to poke Luo Bai's mouth.

"Mr. Luo! I want to ask, what are the characteristics of the so-called soul-like games?"

"Mr. Luo! What do you want to say to those players who are looking forward to Dark Soul?"

"Mr. Luo! Do you think Dark Soul will succeed?"

All kinds of problems emerged one after another.

Faced with the question of asking about the specific content of the game, Luo Bai said that everyone should go to the game to find the answer.

Luo Bai sincerely thanked the players for the questions.

Facing whether or not Dark Soul will succeed, Luo Bai showed great confidence, even a little arrogant.

As soon as the details of this interview were released, it caused an uproar in the entire game industry in an instant.

Without him, the news Luo Bai gave this time is simply too explosive!

And Gu Wu, who failed to catch the heat before and could only play dead in the end, also came to get in the way.

The interesting thing is that even if he played dead before, many people paid attention to him just to scold him.

If someone scolds, there will be traffic, if there is traffic, there will be attention, and if there is attention, there will be goods and bad money.

If you get scolded, you get scolded, it's really nice to be unable to bear the bad money!
And who is the most popular in the game industry now?Needless to say!
Without further ado, he opened another blog post:

"With the release of the Ori game, the game industry has gained a new type of game, but with all due respect, this type of game has very little influence on the industry.

The main reason is that Ori has too many restrictions. It is strictly limited to the 2D field, and it is difficult to make progress in the 3D field.

Why do you say that?
We all know that the popularity of this type of game is inseparable from its unique Hakoniwa map design. To create a map structure like Hakoniwa World in a 3D world, the difficulty is not comparable to that of 2D games. .

As far as I know, there are many gold-medal map designers of major game companies in the industry, who have all failed on this issue.

Starting from the left side of a map and finally returning to the right side, this problem is actually not difficult. It is nothing more than a connected ring design.

But in the middle path, you have to ensure that the map can lead to the right, but also ensure that the middle path itself is exciting enough, twisty enough, and interesting enough.

This is not difficult to do in 2D games, but in the field of 3D games, when there are ups and downs, it is simply incredible to design a map as wonderful as 2D.

Stairs, valleys, and broken bridges. After adding a Z-axis, the complexity of the game has completely increased by more than one level.

Most of the 3D games on the market can still be seen in a linear process.

Even if there are a few games that do not have a linear flow, on the map, it is absolutely impossible to achieve the level of sophistication of Hakoniwa.

It's not that he doesn't know that Luo Bai is the creator of the game type Ori. Even if Luo Bai is the author of Ori, there is no guarantee that he can surpass those masters who have been specialized in this field for many years in this field.

Didn't everyone see it?
The map design in Wanda and the Colossus is quite vague and meaningless.

So the so-called 3D Ori-like, soul-like, are actually just a gimmick used by Luo Bai for publicity.

I am quietly waiting to see a good show! "

And under Gu Wubowen's comment section:

"Teacher Gu is right, he is worthy of being a gold medal game producer in China, and he hit the pain point of his original intention in one click.

Making a box garden design that satisfies players in the 3D field is an incredible task. There are so many excellent map designers in this world who can't do it well. Why can Luo Bai do it well? "

"Soul-like? You really dare to brag about yourself, with such a big tone, you are not afraid of flashing your tongue?"

"Luo Bai, why are you thinking about your broken 3D every day? Come back and make 2D games honestly."

"Wanda's own map design is specially designed to bring out the feeling of loneliness. It can't be said that Mr. Luo can't do it because he didn't do it."

"It's not the same as being able to do it or not and being able to do it or not."

Whoops, didn't you get scolded this time?
Even if there are a few fans who speak up for Chuxin, they all seem very sensible.

Gu Wu was elated.

Who wants to be scolded?
Seeing Luo Hei doing team building in his comment area, and crazily praising himself for what he said, Gu Wu decided that he was going to grab the wool of his original intention!

In fact, it's not that Luo Bai's fans don't want to talk to Luo Bai.

Only this time, Mr. Luo's words were too exaggerated.

This made the original fans a little afraid to speak.

Created a new game genre?Mr. Luo, it's not that we don't believe you, but can you quickly make the game to open the eyes of the brothers?
In the second round, Luo Hei won a small victory with the retreat of the original fans!

……

In August, according to media reports, Luo Bai made a special trip to the book to visit Mr. Miura, the author of "Legend of Sword Wind".

It also shows that during the development of the new game Dark Souls, its art style and background story were greatly inspired by "Legend of Sword Wind".

The two sides had a cordial and friendly conversation, and when Mr. Luo proposed to obtain the authorization from Mr. Miura, the other party said that he also liked the ninth art created by Luo Bai, especially "Wanda and the Colossus", It was an unforgettable experience for him.

He also stated that he unconditionally authorizes the style of Sword Legend, as long as Luo Bai can create more works that everyone likes.

He also put forward such words as "the souls of artists are able to communicate with each other".

Of course, the truth is.

Miura had never heard of Luo Bai's name before, and he didn't know much about the game circle at all.

But under Luo Bai's financial ability, he expressed his willingness to cooperate with this promotion.

1000 million, just for a gimmick, this time Luo Bai can be regarded as having spent all his money!

This is how the above-mentioned news can be seen by both comic fans and game fans.

However, in fact, Luo Bai himself still thinks it is very worthwhile.

The Legend of Sword Wind in this world has come to an end, continuing the style of the old thief Miura, the ending of Legend of Sword Wind with a high degree of completion, 1000 million watching the ending is not a loss.

Luo Bai even bought a whole set and burned it, and I don't know if the good brothers on Earth can receive it.

As soon as the news came out, it naturally caused an uproar in the country.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! A Legend of Sword Wind game? Boss Luo, do you also watch Sword Wind?
I'm so looking forward to it!Hurry up hurry up! "

"When I think that I can hold the Gazi sword in my hand and split the monster in half with a single blow from head to toe, I feel so refreshed!"

"In other words, Dark Soul is actually a fantasy adventure game based on the feeling of the European Middle Ages, right? I've been looking forward to it.

It's because the name of this game is so similar to the name of Dark Dungeon, how can I vaguely feel the strong malice of Mr. Luo. "

Luo Hei may be late, but Luo Hei is never absent!
"Laughing to death, it is probably a game that was made on the spur of the moment.

Luo Bai, don't do 3D, you really can't do it, this time the inspiration came after watching Legend of Sword Wind, what was the last time?A third-rate romance novel? "

"I want to run before I even learned how to crawl? I don't know how bad the sales of the last Dark Dungeon were at the beginning?
3D mods are not as convenient as 2D. This game will definitely die violently when it comes out, as I said. "

"On the contrary, I think this game might sell well. As I said earlier, Luo ÷ is a publicity guy. He knows a chicken game?
This time, I specially pulled a shit book that I didn't know to endorse, and the publicity was full. In the end, even if it was a pile of shit, there would definitely be gamers with abnormal brains who would come out to pay for it. "

This group of students can see Luo Bai's fans as angry.

Many people sent screenshots to places like Ori Bar, Dungeon Bar, Hollow Bar, Penguin Group, etc., hoping to get support.

For example, "mirror three life push".

In the Xianyu player exchange group.

Mirror Sansheng tweeted: "I'm so pissed off! These gangsters! Little ones, hurry up and fight with me!"

Old Lu: "Why are you worrying about it? Let them scold you. The game hasn't come out yet. Why are you in a hurry?"

Mirror Sansheng tweeted: "I can't take it anymore! I punched Blue Star!"

Er Xiao: "What do you have to say to Chun Heizi? He can tell that the games Mr. Luo made before are all rubbish, so don't you need to say more about what this person is?

I haven't played the game, and I don't even count as a cloud, so let's be rational and don't get involved. "

Zhuge Goudan: "Indeed, Wanda is a good game, and I was pissed off by those gangsters, but the most important thing now is to look forward to Mr. Luo's new 3D game.

And buy it as soon as it comes out!Didn't you see that my mirror hasn't released DLC recently? "

Yujiang Changwan: "Boss Luo has a lot of ambitions this time. The last time there was such a big commotion, I remember it was the last time. The quality of the Dark Souls game will definitely shock the industry!"

Dark Soul pushed all his life: "Indeed, I'm not angry, Boss Luo, come out of Dark Soul as soon as possible! I want to play hard!
Renamed Mingzhi!I'll change it back when Dark Souls comes out! "

Seeing that this guy has changed his name, Old Lu's heart beat wildly.

Good guy, this guy is really determined.

And this scene is obviously also happening in Tieba and Penguin's original fan group.

Who cares about those sunspots?We're going to see Dark Souls!

In the third round, Luo Hei won a big victory with all the fans who were original in mind!

To be honest, the original fans don't care about these guys anymore.

Anyway, this group of people will talk about Wanda back and forth, but in fact.

Is Wanda's sales really that bad?

Although the sales volume so far is still only about 60, but with the emergence of various video commentaries and strategies, more and more players who are interested in Wanda gradually began to enter the pit, and the sales volume has also been steady. Enter.

Moreover, the praise from the mainstream game media on the market, as well as the score of 9.0 given by IGN, all undoubtedly show that this is indeed a good game.

Did Chuxin really lose so badly this time?
The compensation is indeed a bit of a loss, but it is not accurate to say that it hurts the muscles and bones.

At least there is no problem at all if the development of Black Soul is completed smoothly.

Is Luo Bai really notorious this time?

Although the sunspots are very reluctant to admit it, there is no doubt that the name of the current domestic game Light is still firmly placed on Luo Bai's head, Chu Xin's head.

So why are there still so many mocking voices on the Internet at present?

The main reason is that the more excellent and extreme games are, the easier it is to cultivate a group of loyal fans.

In Ori's time, his evaluation of Luo Bai and Chuxin was actually quite rational.

Although it is a one-sided praise, this kind of praise usually only involves the game, not Chuxin or Luo Bai himself.

As for the previous mirror... Who told Luo to live without the DLC?
Fans can't wait to eat your meat raw!
After arriving at the Dark Dungeon and Hollow Knight, with the continuous output of excellent games, there must be more and more "filial sons".

It is impossible to guarantee that every gamer remains sane, although sane gamers are the vast majority.

But sane gamers generally don't talk. You Luobai released the game and we bought it. We can enjoy the game with peace of mind. As for the evaluation of the outside world, I have nothing to do with it.

Share it with friends and relatives around you, and at most when someone on the game discussion platform says that the game is in short supply, share it.

Irrational players will go everywhere.

When I see a game at random, I like to brush the one I like at the bottom. When others say that the game has real shortcomings, they not only deny it, but insist that you don't understand it.

It's no wonder that passer-by players have a high degree of affection for this game, the game developer, and the fan base.

But in fact, the fighting power of this group of fans is actually the strongest. The cohesion and organization are not comparable to passer-by fans.

So on the frontal battlefield, you can basically see the defeat of NC fans and rational fans.

Why was Wanda ridiculed by the crowd?
Luo is not up to date!
Wanda apologized publicly before it was officially released, and blocked all NC fans from moving.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?
Many NC fans have reversed the two levels and directly turned into Luohei. Now the voice of the online blackheart is so loud, and it is largely due to them.

Of course, this is definitely good for the benign voices within the fan base.

It's hard for the fans to help Mr. Luo. In addition, there are indeed a group of professional blacks and some game companies behind the scenes, making it seem like the original intention has been reversed.

It's actually not that serious at all.

Passers-by players and Luobai fans did not participate in this matter. Everyone is looking forward to what kind of tricks this crazy thing called "Big Sushi" can do.

3D Ori, even thinking about it gave them bad expectations.

As for a certain person named Gu Wu, who do you want?

Are you the founder of Ori?Others can't do 3D Ori, Luo can't do it?Can you kneel down and kowtow to your brothers if you do it?
cannot?

Can't you just leave?
As a result, some game companies are frantically investing money behind their backs to buy trolls in an attempt to provoke a big melee between passer-by fans and original fans.

As a result, they called back and forth, and in the comment area, the same naval company was beating itself.

Maybe the netizen of Kualuobai and Heiluobai just now are separated by a station in reality.

What about the PR firm?
If you don't make such a good money, you won't make it for nothing!

No one mentioned this to their boss, and it was tacitly understood that you scolded me and you scolded you, and the money came to the account in a hurry.

It feels like one word.

nice!
Slowly, I saw that topics related to "Dark Soul", "First Heart", and "Luo Bai" became less and less popular.

Those game companies that bought water armies behind their backs couldn't sit still.

Why is it all these chatterboxes going over and over again?So familiar words?You gang of forced public relations companies cheated me of money, right?
Once the money investment here stops, the navy will naturally not give you free work.

Sure enough, only when the tide goes out do you know who is swimming naked.

In just a short period of time, a large number of original fans, including Lao Lu, discovered one thing.

The group of aggressive people who were talking about Wanda all day long before were gone all at once.

The remaining small group of die-hard Heizi, although each of them had a strong fighting capacity, was outnumbered, and was quickly submerged under the siege of the original fans.

"Le, what about people? Why are there only two cats, one big and one kitten?"

"Weak, please, you are weak."

Discussions about "Dark Soul" on the Internet are becoming more and more normal, and speculation about the information currently given by the game is also divergent.

And as the turmoil subsided, in September of 33, Chuxin finally released the first PV of Dark Souls under the eyes of everyone.

The story of Dark Soul also unlocks a corner of its own mystery to all players who are looking forward to it.
