Number One Game Designer

The start time of E3 every day is usually at nine o'clock in the morning, but at that time, it is generally biased towards free time.

The main stage normally starts at one o’clock in the afternoon and then ends at eleven o’clock in the evening. That’s why it is said that E3 is a gluttonous feast for the players. People will show you the whole exhibition, and then they will face you from one noon to 11 o’clock in the evening On the plug game, you are at work, people are broadcasting new games to try out, you are off work, people are still introducing new games, you are eating dinner, people are previewing new games, you have been off work for five hours, and you are still introducing them new game.

I can't stand it on anyone. In this case, why don't you buy it? Of course, whether the wallet can withstand it is another matter.

And Fang Xi's second stage performance was at 10:30 in the evening, the penultimate one. This time I didn’t have any enthusiasm in the opening preparation time, and Fang Xi felt it was a pity...

Compared with the grand occasion at noon, the evening stalls can only be said to have no human rights. Players and producers who can't promote motivation, the only thing that remains unchanged is that the atmosphere is still blazing, that is, a little more drowsy. The feeling of sleeping.

In this case, when the ice blue aperture logo appears on the screen, it is refreshing.

It’s no stranger to the North American players of Portal. In a sense, at the Los Angeles exhibition at the end of last year, Portal was the flagship product of Hongyi at the time. It had unique 3D puzzle solving and cold metal style. Elemental players are no less than a guiding light, and this time at E3, it was purely to announce the news. Although the official budget gave 30 minutes, Fang Xi felt that three minutes would be enough.

It is still the familiar FANG style straight to the point. This time Fang Xi directly showed a set of promotional videos, edited with real-time calculations in the game, and directly demonstrated the 3D sense of space. It is a very beautiful promotional video for the scene. For the players’ doubts, Fang Xi also gave his own answer at the end of the promo:

"Unfortunately, I am not bringing news about the sequel to the portal. This is a free DLC for the portal specially launched by Hongyi this year. It is temporarily named: Dust Memory. There are four levels in total, and the game time is about two hours. , As long as the players who have purchased the game can receive this DLC for free on the Honghu platform. The specific unlock date is September 1, so stay tuned."

After the dry words were finished, Fang Xi and the players fell into a state of silence. The players were waiting for Fang Xi's next words, but in fact Fang Xi had already said it, and now they are bored waiting for how to distribute the official distribution. Thirty minutes passed.

After a minute of awkward silence, Fang Xi spread his hands:

"The official gave me a thirty-minute event, but it seems a bit long now, let's talk about it and pass the time."

The players roared with laughter. They thought there would be some other news, but the producer was just paddling.

Fang Xi shrugged, then saw the first player to raise his hand, and immediately clicked.

The first player seems to be a **** fan, and the problem comes to the point:

"FANG, we all know that your two games, Road to Survival and Portal are at different time points in the same world. According to the information in Road to Survival, the aperture company of Portal and Portal to Survival Umbrella companies are inextricably linked, and in the trailer just now, I saw footage of a large group of zombies. Does this mean that this DLC has content related to umbrella companies?"

Fang Xi nodded and shook his head again:

"Hey buddy, this is my answer, it's really relevant, but you want to know more? I can't tell you, I can only tell you to go find it in the game."

The players laughed kindly, and it was indeed a bit bad for a producer to spoil his game.

The second question followed one after another:

"Hey, FANG, I want to ask when will the eternity after the end of the closed beta be available online?",

Hearing that he was an eternal fan, Fang Xi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. He saw the questioning of a teenager, with blue eyes, curly hair, and authentic Europeans and Americans, a rare experience! A game that is only in the domestic internal test has attracted the attention of foreign players.

Fang Xi stepped back and knocked on the screen that was still playing the portal promotional video:

"Although I really want to answer, my professionalism tells me that I can only answer with you tomorrow."

Players give kind laughs, which is also unavoidable. Generally, players just want to ask to express their expectations for the game, not really want to get an answer.

Thirty minutes was quickly finished by Fang Xi, and Fang Xi wiped his sweat. The players later seemed to find the joy of question and answer, and the questions became more and more tricky, and the direction began to deliberately or unintentionally towards Fang Xi’s private life. Quoting, Fang Xi immediately indicated that he was going to slip away. Can't stand it, can't stand it.

Go to M in a hurry to eat something, go to the hotel to wash and wash it is a little faster, look at the watch, sleep for eight hours, E3 will start again, for the players, you can wait until the afternoon to participate. , It’s a bit boring for the participants, especially when there are people knocking at the door at this time.

Fang Xi put on a simple dress, and it was not cold in Los Angeles in June. Lin Rongchang and Yige stood outside the door without surprise.

Fang Xi was thinking in his heart that if these two people didn't speak clearly within a minute, Fang Xi would throw them out directly. Sleep time is precious!

Lin Rongchang probably also knew it was late at night, very concisely: "Pay in installments."

It should be about Yige’s problem. Fang Xi also knew that it was difficult to let a rich second generation decide this. He shook his head and Fang Xi also made his own response:

"Mr. Eagle can wait until E3 is over, but it was a bit more expensive than it is now, but at least you will have more confidence in me."

Then Fang Xi saw Yige's face flushed, then turned around again and walked away directly, looking at Yige's back, Fang Xi rubbed his chin and looked at Lin Rongchang who was not moving beside him:

"He won't have a housekeeper who will follow him to give him advice, right?"

Lin Dashao nodded: "His uncle, Yige's family also wants to select a medium-sized game company to acquire at E3."

"My first goal should be me?" Fang Xi asked. It's not difficult to guess. Seeing Yige who is so stupid and straight to find himself, you will know that there is a problem.

Lin Rongchang did not deny: "You can see the rate of return of Hongyi, not to mention the hen who lays the golden eggs, it is almost a gold mine, the kind that lie on it without worrying about starving to death, even if you really intend to sell it, Can it be their turn?" Lin Rongchang sneered at this point: "Those domestic consortia are not fools."

Fang Xi nodded and looked at Young Master Lin: "Late night, are you still going after your little Yige?"

Lin Rongchang, who was almost choked to death by his own saliva, rolled his eyes at Fang Xi: "I just want to remind you that Yige and his uncle likes gambling investment. Your offer is very much to his appetite, and they are likely to agree. "

Fang Xi almost didn't choke to death by his own saliva: "Really? I just quoted the price randomly."

Lin Rongchang's expression instantly became pretty, he looked at Fang Xi entangledly: "Low?"

Shaking his head, "It's high, if e-sports develops smoothly, it may be the price in the second or third year, and there is a high probability that it will be lost in the first year."

Lin Rongchang was dumbfounded.
