Number One Game Designer

"Unexpectedly, the Hongyi official actually intervened directly."

"Hey, it's boring. I thought I could line up with high intensity for a few days."

"Yes, I didn't expect that the brother who was still in line with me just now has eaten prison food. It's really impermanent."

Below the official website of "Extraordinary Speed", a group of people are like veterans who have finished cleaning the battlefield, leisurely but sadly watching the setting sun in the distance, expressing their sighs about this invisible war.

Until someone posted here "Editor Shuiran has released news about Hongyi's new game!"

A group of veterans turned into anxious monkeys:

"Who is Shuran?"

"Hongyi has new games this year?"

"You are stupid, Hongyi's carnival this year is the main dish. They will have a new game finale 100% by that time!"

"I went to see it. Shui Ran is the editor of "Game World". She seems to have got the evaluation of Hongyi's new game!"

"Come to a portal, let's take a look!"

"Go and go together!"

...

If "Extraordinary Racing" and "Borderless Land" are just appetizers, then "The Octopath Traveler" must be at the level of the main dish or even the finale.

This is not to say that in Fang Xi's mind, the racing game and the gun game are not as good as the gun game "Bafang", but because each has its own unique reasons.

"Extraordinary Racing" as Fang Xi and Chen Yu said, Fang Xi carefully considered it when the project was first approved. This game definitely has the potential to become the next "Eternal". It has enough viewing and confrontation. And there are a lot of luxury cars in it, these are simply the most effective stimulants for men, so Fang Xi does not need to put it on the carnival, because this kind of e-sports game takes a long time. Exposure requires the accumulated heat of a long stream of water, not overnight.

"Borderland" is even simpler, because this game was first sold by Fang Xi in the script, although it was eventually taken back and remade by himself, but in the end it still lacks a little freshness, so even if you want to focus Propaganda, in Fang Xi's prediction, it will also need to wait until the second part of this wasteland game.

So among these, "Octogonal Traveler" is a suitable choice.

First of all, it is a kingly RPG game. Although it is slightly different from the traditional rpg, anyone who has played the game cannot deny that the game is indeed an rpg. In a sense, this can help Hongyi reverse its image. Thanks to the destruction and reshaping of the game market before, many people call Hongyi the "rpg destroyer", saying that it is because of this company that the status of the current rpg game has plummeted, from the previous kingly game type directly to the present The "old stuff".

Secondly, the art style of this game is very delicate. The pure hand-painted art in the game is the game’s greatest sincerity, and then the nostalgia and innovation are cleverly combined. This is a game that can make old players feel nostalgic and arouse the interest of new players A game.

Players who like it will surely take it to the altar, and players who don't like it can't deny its artistic value. It can't make everyone satisfied with this game, but it can make everyone speechless about this game.

So after Shao Qiulin sent him the demo version of the game, he simply packaged it and sent it to the headquarters of ign and "GAME World". In the letter he sent, Fang Xi wrote clearly: I hope these two media Able to evaluate the game in advance.

The subtext is self-explanatory: please use these to start building momentum for this game!

In name, this is to score the game, but in the end this score may be the least important thing. The most important thing is the publicity and promotion in this process.

So Shui Ran directly announced the news on his personal Weibo:

"I received a review invitation for Hongyi's new game today. I am very excited. Fans please stay tuned. We will arrange a comprehensive evaluation of the game as soon as possible. The game's score will be released this week."

A very formulaic news, but on this day when Hongyi's fans were a little restless, it succeeded in setting off an uproar.

Based on a simple guess of the announcement time, many people have guessed it directly. According to this time, this game is likely to be released after the carnival!

But this is even more curious. A game that will make Fang Xi cautiously put on the carnival is enough to show the importance of this game. Does it mean that Fang Xi believes that this game is better than the recently released "Extraordinary Racing" and "Borderland" is still fun?

Passerby fans are looking forward to it, but the new fans of these two are the first to complain about their favorite games. In their opinion, "Extraordinary Racing" and "Borders Land" are good enough, but there are still games. After the official certification of the producer, think it will be more fun than these two games? So what kind of game is this?

This is how curiosity is hung up.

In "GAME World", there is only one person in Shuran's office.

Generally speaking, the trial evaluation of a new game is not her turn to be the editor-in-chief. It is not only about the position, but also not within her purview.

But there is no way. This is the first time that Fang Xi has sent the game for evaluation before the game is released. It is really frustrating to say the fact, but the fact is that Fang Xi may be the most dependent on their traditional media among the current game companies. The producer of it.

He has his own professional game platform, and Honghu platform also includes forum functions, so every time Fang Xi is to make an advance notice, and then directly let the game land on the Honghu platform, many Fang Xi's personal fans will be out of each other. The trust of the direct purchase, after which players will spread word of mouth, quickly promote the word of mouth with a virus spread.

This is a very hard-core propaganda method, and it is also a method that only Fang Xi can use.

So after Fang Xi sent a demo version for her to test this time, Shui Ran completely ignored the eyes of the evaluation department and took the game directly to her office.

There are not many modern computers with CD-ROM drives, so they are boxes, but in fact they are only palm-sized, like a box containing perfume and other cosmetics. The box has a hand-painted pattern like an illustration of an allegory. After rubbing it twice, it has a frosted touch and the workmanship is very good.

Although she is not a professional evaluator, Shui Ran still has the basic qualities. She put down the box and found a tripod that had not been used for a long time from the cabinet, and then set the camera up. She planned to make a basic opening. Box video.

I dare not say the evaluation for the time being, but when it comes to out of the box, every woman is professional!
