Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 34 Excellent "Olympic Games" Game (Two in One)

December [-]st.

"Legend of the Demon World 2" and "Ori and the Dark Forest" were launched at exactly the same time at zero o'clock on the same day, which officially opened the prelude to the climax of the dispute between Chuxin Game Studio and Tianxing.

The former is priced at 68, while the latter is also priced at 68!

"He's really screwed up."

Liang Renfeng looked at Ao Ri who happened to be online with his own game, and cursed secretly.

In fact, since yesterday, he has followed the instructions given by the shareholders' meeting to operate the reverse bounce of "Legend of the Demon World 2".

However, the steam platform does not know what kind of wind is being drawn, and it keeps showing errors. Contacting the customer service there also said that it is a technical problem and is trying to adjust it.

There was another flutter, and finally, in order to support the publicity, Tianxing still chose to go online on time.

I am zero and you are zero, right?I am 68 and you are 68 too, right?It's really going to be head-to-head.

Then we can only make a fuss about publicity.

Liang Renfeng narrowed his eyes slightly.

On the other side, Chuxin Game Studio.

"Brother Luo, Brother Luo."

Luo Bai, who was sleeping on the sofa, was shaken awake by Pu Xingyu and the others. He opened his sleepy eyes, shook his head and quickly asked:
"what time is it now?"

"In the early morning of December [-]st, Ori was already online."

Pu Xingyu's face was filled with excitement, half a year of hard work, and it was finally time to see the results.

"Hmm..." Luo Bai took a nap, rubbed his temples, ran to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water.

Inside the mirror:

【Encounter on a narrow road (in progress!)】

[Bound object: "Ori and the Dark Forest" VS "Legend of the Demon World 2"]

【Sales list: 3748:314659】

"The gap is quite big..." Luo Bai smiled slightly, without any panic in his heart.

When they came back, they saw Pu Xingyu and the three of them sitting in front of Luo Bai's computer like obedient babies in the office, looking at the background of his steam game.

He couldn't help being a little dumb:
"Why do you look at the backstage? You can't see the sales increase, so do what you should do.

I'm not too embarrassed to be here with me to work overtime at such a late hour. I just bought a copy of "Legend of the Demon World 2" to play, so that we can see how good our opponents are.

For reimbursement. "

"Ah?" Pu Xingyu raised the volume, and asked rather strangely, "Brother Luo, are we conferring on the enemy?"

Luo Bai raised his eyebrows:
"As far as the enemy, our four sales can't affect the overall situation. I also want to see what they can make after so many delays."

This is the pattern...

Pu Xingyu and the others suddenly felt a surge of pride in their hearts.

But to be honest, they are also very interested in "Legend of Disgaea 2".

"Let me see the gap between you and Ori."

Pu Xingyu thought secretly.

Luo Bai never saves money on hardware, although Chuxin Game Studio looks unorthodox on the outside, but computers, broadband and so on are the best that can be bought.

With several people deducting 68 from their mobile phones, 10 minutes later, four copies of "Legend of the Demon World 2" with a size close to 2G have successfully settled in Chuxin Game Studio.

"I don't know if this is a kind of tauren."

Pu Xingyu thought to himself, but manipulated the mouse to open "Legend of the Demon World 2".

Silver moon, wasteland, dense forest, castle...

The kidnapped princess, the pale-skinned brave man with two pairs of fangs, the devil king wrapped in armor...

The collision of the rapier and the giant blade, the disappearance of the blood mist and the dark thunder, and the blooming of the moon like a lotus...

A thin sword seemed to protrude from the screen, and as the screen split, the main interface of "Legend of the Demon World 2" was also displayed in front of Pu Xingyu.

The opening animation is really well done.

Although it is an enemy army, Pu Xingyu still has to praise him, it is undoubtedly the first-class level in the industry.

"However, my evaluation is - not as good as Ori!"

[new game]
Load the game!

The plot of Legend of the Demon World 2 is also told.

The protagonist of the story is named "Grize Edward", a baby who was born in the devil world, but was abandoned in the human world by a pair of female palms one day.

He was born weak, if he hadn't been taken in by kind people, he might have died in the depths of the dense forest long ago.

But as Gretz grew up day by day, his half-vampire appearance was gradually exposed to the villagers.

Soon, his deeds spread to the capital, and the king sent someone to recruit him.

The princess of the kingdom was kidnapped by the devil, and the king hoped that Gretz could enter the devil world and rescue the princess.

In this way, in order to understand his own life experience, the reason for being abandoned, and to save the princess, the protagonist embarks on a journey.

As Graze on the screen passed through the magic door leading to the demon world, there was a violent vibration from the handle in Pu Xingyu's hand.

Not long after, under the light of the silver moon in the sky, our protagonist Graze, a pale half-vampire teenager holding a Western rapier, appeared on the wasteland in the picture.

Pu Xingyu smiled knowingly like all the old players who have played the first generation of Legend of the Demon World. From the protagonist's name and his identity, it is not difficult to see that the protagonists of this game are the previous generation protagonist "Schiller Edward" and the vampire prince "Lisa De Racula's child.

"Legend of the Demon World 2" played the emotional card quite beautifully.

Refocusing on the game:

In the upper left corner is Graze's photo, a tube of blood, a tube of magic, and a tube of experience slots, which are simple and easy to understand.

According to the novice tips in the game, Pu Xingyu quickly mastered all the operations.

"A key" to jump, "X key" to attack, "B key" to interact, "Y key" to release magic...

Pu Xingyu excitedly manipulated the protagonist to slash up, down, left, and right in the air around him for a long time, and then satisfactorily manipulated the protagonist to walk towards the guidance ahead.

To be honest, "Legend of the Demon World 2" is so easy to learn that even Pu Xingyu was a little surprised. Seeing the bruised monsters killed by his rapier, Pu Xingyu felt a great sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Fun!

Even if it is a hostile manufacturer, Pu Xingyu has no way to say the words "not fun" against his conscience.

That is, playing always brings a sense of familiarity to Pu Xingyu, and I don't know why.

but……

Brother Luo~ I still think it's fun to play the games of hostile manufacturers, you don't blame me, do you?
Pu Xingyu raised his head quietly and looked at Luo Bai who was not far away at the work station, but saw that the corner of his mouth was curled up to play happily.

Well, my boss took the lead in defecting to the enemy.

Hey, he plays and I play too.

Pu Xingyu lowered his head again and continued to play "Legend of the Demon World 2".

At this time, the protagonist is walking on a long and somewhat excessive road under the control of Pu Xingyu.

It was empty in all directions, and there was nothing.

Pu Xingyu frowned slightly.

Without him, the entire process of "Legend of the Demon World 2" has been quite compact up to now, but the current long and stinky road is obviously extremely out of the ordinary.

Suddenly, an extremely abrupt small mound in front of him attracted Pu Xingyu's attention, and he manipulated the protagonist to jump high like a soul, and slashed downward!
The ground has fallen!A huge hidden space suddenly appeared on the map again!
"Fuck! Brother Luo, our Ori has been plagiarized!"

Pu Xingyu got up from his work station with a face of shock, and even the rest of Pang You and Chen Jiabin also stood up from their work stations immediately and expressed their opinions:
"It turns out that I'm not the only one who feels this way!"

"I just said that the map design is so familiar, Brother Luo! The legend of the devil world must have stolen our idea!"

They played awkwardly just now, but because Luo Bai kept silent, they continued to play in silence, but when Pu Xingyu spoke, the two couldn't sit still for an instant.

But when the three pairs of eyes looked at Luo Bai, expecting Luo Bai's anger after being plagiarized, the scene before them made them a little unbelievable.

"Then why all the fuss?"

Luo Bai had a slight smile on his face, looking indifferent.

To be honest, just 5 minutes after playing this game, Luo Bai realized that this game probably copied Ori.

Creative collision?

No, there is no such possibility.

Take the hidden room hidden behind the background wall just now as an example. In fact, it is not well integrated with the map just now, and it is more like a mechanical copy.

A layman may not feel it, but for Luo Bai, who has an intermediate map design level, there is nothing to hide at a glance.

It is not difficult to draw this inference by contacting the time of the second ticket bounce of "Legend of the Demon World 2" and the time of the Independent Games Festival.

I said what the "bigger concern" in the introduction of Encounter on a Narrow Road is, so it's waiting for me here.

Tianxing plagiarized the second time?You deserve it this time.

However, when Luo Bai really played the game, he changed his mind.

"Legend of the Demon World 2" is not a simple copy of Ori, he has his own set of things inside.

""Legend of the Demon World 2" is not plagiarism, it is a reference."

The conclusion given by Luo Bai, the author of Ori, is naturally full of persuasion.

"But..." Pu Xingyu wanted to say something else.

"Although Ori was made by us together, to be honest, there are many things that you haven't figured out about the core of this type of game.

Let you read more and increase your skills. One knows how to eat melons every day, one is addicted to falling in love, and the other would rather watch short videos than improve after nothing to do.

You guys! "

Luo Bai pointed at these people with his fingers, and he couldn't get angry.

The three lowered their heads and remained silent.

Luo Bai didn't want to say anything more. After Ori is over, Chuxin Game Studio will make big moves. Those who can't keep up don't blame him for being ruthless, and the ugly words will be said before.

"Come here." Luo Bai beckoned a few people to walk behind him, and then started playing "Legend of Demon World 2" by himself.

What appeared in front of the three of them at this time was a completely different landscape from the previous wasteland. This was an underground cave.

"Brother Luo, where is this?" Pu Xingyu asked like a curious baby.

"The third level."

"Ah?" Qiqi exclaimed three times.

They haven't finished the first level yet, Luo Bai skipped directly to the third level?

"This game has bugs, you can skip the level directly." Luo Bai smiled mysteriously, without explaining too much.

But this scene really made these boys silent.

A game that just came out can find game bugs so quickly and accurately, is this Luo Ge...

In addition to being a top game producer, he is also a top game player.

Luo Bai's concentration drew the eyes of the three of them to the screen again, and our protagonist is obviously in a predicament at this moment.

There was a high rock wall in front of it, and it was impossible to jump over it. There was only a small passage on the wall that was only big enough for a mouse to walk through.

"Look."

With Luo Bai pressing something on the handle, the red cloak behind the protagonist suddenly wrapped him up, and in just an instant, he turned into a tiny bat!

Human form cannot pass through such a small passage, but a bat can!
"Fuck! You can still play like this!"

Pu Xingyu's eyes lit up.

"That's why I said, "Legend of the Demon World 2" is not a plagiarism, but a reference."

Luo Bai explained calmly,

"To be honest, I admire the production team of Legend of the Demon World.

They were able to dig out the core selling points of this type of game and add their own things just by relying on a demo I showed at the Independent Games Festival.

Although there are indeed major flaws in the entire map design, they have done a pretty good job in setting the ability system!

Whether it is turning into a bat, mobilizing Yuehua to create a platform, or opening the sealed door with scarlet eyes, they all perfectly fit the protagonist's identity as a half-vampire.

On the way, the protagonist activates the lineage and obtains the positive drive of ability, which also provides abundant playability for the game. "

Is there any other game that Luo Ge has praised so much?

Pu Xingyu's goosebumps were about to come out.

"So, Brother Luo, our Ori..."

Seeing the worry on Pu Xingyu's face, a big question mark appeared on Luo Bai's forehead.

How dare you doubt our Ori, you little bastard, don’t you come to work tomorrow!

"I'm not finished yet."

Luo Bai once again put on that breezy smile,

"Disgaea 2 is good, I'd call it an excellent 'Ori-like' game!"

"Ori-like game?"

Pu Xingyu muttered to himself in a daze.

There is no Metroid in this world, and there is no Castlevania, so the name of this type of game, of course, belongs to Ori.

"Yes, an Ori-like game."

Luo Bai continued to manipulate the character in his hands, while solving the puzzles created by the game designer with great effort, he explained slowly,

"Students will always be students, and the current "Legend of the Demon World 2" is still too immature.

Not to mention his poor operating feel and extremely flawed map design, we can beat it to the point where we can't find the north just in terms of art alone.

Just wait quietly, the market will eventually give the answer, all conspiracies and schemes are worthless in front of real strength! "

Luo Bai made a loud noise, and his words "not worth mentioning" seemed to knock on the hearts of several employees, completely shattering the impetuousness in their hearts.

And they also really understood why Luo Bai was so calm from the beginning to the end.

As Luo Bai said in that report:

"The so-called "Legend of the Demon World 2" is just a victim of this new path, nothing more."
