Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 59 Old Tang's Platform

"Today is April 2031, 4, and 1 days have passed since the release of a game "Ori and the Dark Forest" that was destined to go down in history since the birth of the Blue Star game industry.

Sometimes I wake up in a dream, and I often feel a trance, as if the game Ori never appeared in this world, and everything is just my imagination.

But when I was clear-headed and recalled every bit of Ori in this game, I was sure that Ori had already been born, and I could tell the time of its birth with every detail.

Accompanied by it, a great sense of frustration gradually flooded into my heart.

This stems from the jealousy and compromise of a game maker.

I understand that I will never be able to develop a game like Ori, and often despicably imagine that this game never existed at all, and finally gradually reconcile with myself in the midst of self-loathing.

I have been in the game industry for nearly 30 years, and in exchange for a little reputation today, I always thought that I was a genius, the chosen one who was destined to change the soil of the game industry in this land.

But until now, I can only pinch my nose and admit that it doesn't feel good to be inferior to others.

Luo Bai, President Luo, the leader of Chuxin Game Studio.

Please allow me to use the word leader to describe him.

It's like the first morning star rising in the night sky, I don't need to repeat it here, and the latecomers will naturally justify its name.

Because, the light is there.

At twelve noon today, Chuxin Game Studio released the first promotional video of its new game "Dark Dungeon" under development.

For a time, there was an uproar of people on the Internet, and there were many people with good intentions behind them to fuel the flames.

From a bird's eye view, everyone's discussions are mainly focused on two aspects.

One is the painting style, and the other is why Luo Zong did not make Ori 2.

For the former, I don't intend to start a verbal dispute, but I just feel that strengthening the national aesthetic quality still needs to be put on the agenda.

But for the latter, I seem to be able to guess the insignificant thought in Mr. Luo's foresight.

For game developers like Mr. Luo, they treat their works like they treat their own children. From the beginning of the birth of their children, game developers, as parents, have poured all their inspiration and hard work into it. In the game.

At the moment it was born, it was perfect for game makers.

And Ori is indeed perfect, perfect gameplay, perfect picture, perfect game journey.

And now, the players hope that Mr. Luo will make Ori 2 as soon as possible. There is no doubt that Mr. Luo is asking Mr. Luo to recreate a child similar to Ori.

Whether the new child is better than Ori, worse than Ori, or not much different from Ori, it is definitely not easy for a parent to accept.

Presumably, it was under such circumstances that "Dark Dungeon" began to take root in Mr. Luo's heart.

Is Darkest Dungeon a good game?
To be honest, I don't know, and no one dares to jump to conclusions until they play the game themselves.

But is Darkest Dungeon a bad game?
I can pat my chest and guarantee that it will definitely not be a bad game.

In "Dark Dungeon", the shaping of the atmosphere and the bold development in the field of game aesthetics have made me see Mr. Luo's ambition.

He is by no means satisfied with Ori's great success, he wants to get out of this comfort zone and explore deeper things in the field of games.

Although I haven't thoroughly studied this game yet, we may witness the birth of a masterpiece..."

Tang Yunpeng posted a blog, how could Lu Maru not see it.

But when he really finished reading this blog post full of rainbow farts about Luo Bai, a big question mark suddenly appeared on his head.

"Old Tang? Did you really write this shit? Did you really just knock out this shit with your thick, black fingers?

Listen to my advice, hurry up and chop it! "

"What's wrong with this I posted?"

Any other problems came out.

Lu Maru's face darkened, and he continued:

"Regardless of years of employment, experience, or awards received, there is no doubt that Tang Yunpeng can be regarded as a senior.

Not to mention that your easter egg also helped Luo Bai a lot.

The last time we met, didn't Mr. Luo call Tang Ge when he shook hands with you?

How long has it been?Why did you just kneel and lick it?

Look at the vocabulary you made when you dragged the text, disgusting!Disgusting!

Do you know if you lick the dog, lick the dog, until you end up with nothing!Do you know that you are completely out of character? "

"so what?"

"You delete that, let me post it."

"?"

Tang Yunpeng has a lot of fans on Weibo, but not many are active, because Tang Yunpeng didn't like to post on Weibo before.

It's just that a while ago as he "redressed his grievances", he started to share some inside stories of the game circle on his Weibo when he had nothing to do. Gradually, his Weibo also became active.

Of course, Tang Yunpeng still has a sense of proportion. Those things are not so much inside information, but common sense that everyone in the game circle knows, but outsiders don't know much about.

He takes great care of those cloud players who want to know more about the game circle, as well as writers who need to write this kind of web articles but suffer from no place to search for information, such as a guy whose pen name is Xiao Subei.

All in all, with the fermentation of Tang Yunpeng's blog post, the discussion of the game "Dark Dungeon" in the domestic game circle has risen to a new trend.

But... this has nothing to do with Luo Bai.

It's not that he didn't pay attention to the response after the first promotional video of "Dark Dungeon", but that he had already boarded the plane to the Lighthouse Country at that time.

A while ago, TGA sent him an email that Ori and the Dark Forest was shortlisted.

Ori was nominated for six awards including Best Innovative Game, Best Art Direction, Best Independent Game, Best Soundtrack, Best Action and Adventure Game, and Game of the Year.

This time it was specially for him to win the award.

TGA, the full name of The Game Awards, is a game festival award sponsored by the three major console rogues, and is known as the Oscar of the game industry.

It just so happened that the last time I went to the Independent Games Festival, I didn't win anything, so Luo Bai planned to add the first trophy to the window of his office.

Of course, in addition to winning prizes, Ori's sales in Europe and the United States have exceeded 300 million, and three-fifths of the sales are provided there. Luo Bai has to go there to express his condolences to the dear players. .

In addition, the head of Microsoft's game department also wants to make an appointment with him to have a good talk about cooperation.

Hey, busy, maybe this is the trouble of a talented game producer.
