Chapter 287 285. Mainly too ugly

  The entire May is the promotion period of Bomi’s World of Warcraft.

  On the bus stop platform, you can see World of Warcraft advertisements everywhere.

  Internet cafes too.

  In addition, Bomi’s channels are fully promoting World of Warcraft, including QQ, Bomi News, Bomi Weibo, Bomi’s official website, and game platforms are all being promoted simultaneously.

  Whether it is China, the United States and the East Island, it seems that the world is discussing the topic of World of Warcraft.

  It wasn't until this time that domestic and foreign game manufacturers realized that Bomi's promotion channels have been numerous, and the company's channel resource network has been quite strong, and online and offline are really pervasive.

  Because the game of World of Warcraft is more complicated to play, Bomi has also hired a lot of push teams to teach players how to play in the Internet cafe...

  So, now game players at home and abroad, even if they don’t play World of Warcraft, they have all heard of the news——

  On June 1, the world-class MMORPG masterpiece "World of Warcraft" developed by Bomi Company will be tested globally.

  Although it is said to be a global public beta, in fact this time only the three countries of Omi, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia participated in the public beta.

  In summary, it should be -

  Chinese, Japanese, and English-speaking countries, as well as countries that use English as their mother tongue or official language, such as Singapore, India, and the Philippines.

  Except for China, island countries, and the United States, Bomi does not have branches in other countries, so it can only cooperate with agents.

  The localization process is a relatively difficult and long process. The long reason is not necessarily technical, but mostly because of policy issues in different countries.

  To change it to meet the local culture and the above requirements, it will take longer than expected.

  ……

  The advertisements of "World of Warcraft" really flew all over the sky. What's even more frightening is that most of the channels here are actually owned by Bomi, which saves me a lot of publicity costs.

  The colleagues were surprised when they saw it.

"Bomi is really a big critic. I didn't think it was. This time I finally realized that this company has so many publicity channels. What kind of Weibo, QQ, game platforms... Online news, game channels, movie theaters, etc. Line... This Nima, is there any publicity channel that Bomi doesn't have?"

"Of course there are still some. For example, there are no ads for Bomi in the toilet, but this is quite powerful," said a big developer in the game circle. "I really envy Bomi, what game has reached them? In hand, you can get at least a 200% promotion bonus. Even some junk games can be promoted with such a good channel."

   "Yes, I am really jealous and hateful. I really want to have such a channel. I guess I can make a lot of money, right?"

  "Then you can sign an agreement with Bomi. As long as they are willing to give you the channel, won't your games be sold through Bomi?"

   "Uh... how much money do you have to divide? I don't think our game company looks like it can make a lot of money."

In the previous life, when Penguin talked to the small game company about channel sharing, the average score was 91 points. Now Boss Cao is relatively conscientious. Generally, he charges 73 points or directly charges the channel fees. The main reason is the quality of the project. If the quality of the game is good, Bomi is more willing to sign a proportional share. If the quality of the game does not pass, then Bomi will directly charge the channel fees.

  In short, Bomi will definitely not lose.

  Everyone discussed for a while, the focus of the discussion among the game colleagues returned to this new game of Bomi.

"But did you find out? The style of this World of Warcraft is very strange. I really don’t want to use [ugly] to describe it. It's ugly."

   "Mom, I always thought this was just my personal illusion. Didn't you think that it was the same?

I'm still thinking that such a big factory like Bomi is definitely impossible to make something weird and ugly, but when I saw World of Warcraft, I thought in my heart, this **** Too ugly, right? Who wants to use these characters?

   But considering that it was made by Bomi, maybe someone has a reason to develop it like this?

  Or is this a new aesthetic trend?

  Until today, when you talk about it, I have no sympathy. This game called World of Warcraft is too ugly, right? "

"Yes, I think so too. After all, this game is not made by Bomi domestic company, but developed by Bomiguo's team, so to a large extent it is made by a group of old rice. Their aesthetics and the whole story world view are definitely They are all Western styles, and I really don’t appreciate the aesthetics of foreigners."

"The games produced by Bomi before, whether it is Three Kingdoms online, Shan Hai Jing, Assassin's Soul... In fact, they are in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people. Here, the whole style of painting has undergone a 180-degree turn. I really accept it. can not.

  If it were me, I would prefer games like Xishanju’s Jianwang 2 to play. "

"Indeed, this strange style of painting is both tauren and dwarf... I really don't understand what Boss Cao is thinking. Even if this game is made by the American team, it is impossible for Boss Cao to have a say. Bar?

  Has he not considered the question of substitution?

  Who wants to be a dwarf in the game? Or is it an undead, a ugly ghost like a tauren?

  Don’t we all want to be beautiful in the game, even better than the real world?

  I can’t really accept this sense of substitution! "

   "Then is this game still popular in China?"

   "Who knows? Anyway, just for these ugly characters, I won't play it."

"Well, I am not optimistic about the game "World of Warcraft" anyway. Other countries dare not say, at least China will definitely encounter Waterloo. Boss Cao is really playing off this time. Such a weird aesthetic, don't rush. The street is strange!"

   "Well, just this game style, it can be popular in the country, so I can go directly to eat shit."

   "Yes, if this game can become popular in the country, I feel that my art for so many years has been useless, and I still study the market aesthetics of wool? What other players' aesthetic trends and sense of substitution do you study?

  Isn’t it better to just get a **** up and let the player play? "

"Hahahaha, you have a good idea, otherwise the new game we will make in the future is called "Shit Ball Battle"! Just like the snake-eating kind, whoever has bigger **** can swallow the other party's **** , And then form bigger shit."

   "Hey! With your wonderful aesthetic, you and Mr. Cao are about the same."

  ……

  As the country’s largest competitor, Xishanju’s colleagues reacted like this when they saw the game’s promotional videos and advertisements.

  Jian Wang III's master Mei Rao Rin can't believe that this game is actually made by Bomi.

   "Although you have inherited the usual style of Warcraft? But the sense of substitution is too bad." Rao Rin frowned, and couldn't bear to look at the various professional images introduced by the official.

"The most beautiful among them are the night elves and blood elves. The others are just horrible...Look at this tauren, I just put the image of the bull demon in the boastful westward journey into the image of the bull devil, which is much more handsome than this. What's more, it's a dwarf, a draenei... Damn, what the **** is the image of a draenei?

  I’m so bad at all, I’ve seen the kind of nightmare that night.

  This is really nothing like a game made by Bomi. "

Yes, it’s not like Cao Yang’s style at all. Even when he sees this game, Rao Rin will think that Bomi’s boss has changed, or Cao Yang has been emptied and lost the right to speak. Such an ugly game came out.

  No matter how you look at it, the character is ugly, and you can’t appreciate it.

  Before, the impression that Bomi gave everyone was exquisite painting style and outstanding art design, especially the original paintings written by Boss Cao himself, each of which can be described by world famous paintings.

  Up to now, Rao Rindu still has two collections of Bomi’s game settings collection, because he has always regarded Cao Yang as an idol and a goal of hard work.

  Look at the beautiful ancient legends of the mountains and seas, and the beautiful painting style of the Assassin’s Soul that is full of ancient oriental charm, and then look at the current World of Warcraft...

  This feeling is like a chef who has always eaten you very exquisite food, and suddenly one day he feeds **** into your mouth, which makes people have a nausea and urge to vomit.

  The image of Cao Yang instantly collapsed in Rao Rin’s heart...

   is like the great mentor you have been following. Suddenly one day you changed the direction of running, making a big 180-degree turn and running towards your back. You were so bewildered and at a loss.

   "Hahahaha...Yes," the artist next to him laughed out loud, "Doesn't Mr. Cao know that the art determines such an important thing as the player's sense of substitution?

  If the character's image is too ugly, there is no way for the player to enter this character. "

   "Yeah, who would want to be a skeleton in the game by himself? A tauren? A dwarf?... This time Bomi is a big death. With this image, it is strange that the game can be better."

   "Hey, who knows what Boss Cao thinks?"

"Look at the situation after going online." Rao Rin frowned, "If the results are not satisfactory, Boss Cao will definitely accept this fact. Some roads are unworkable and unworkable. This should be thought of from the very beginning of the design. One point, instead of being willful like a child, this will only hit your head and shed blood."

  ……

  "Boss, they said our game is too ugly. The characters are uglier than each. Even the beautified and refined character images on the posters are ugly. What do you think of this matter?"

  The little secretary sat next to Cao Yang, watching the comments made by the players on "World of Warcraft" on his computer, and relaying the general opinions of the players.

  Yes, it’s not just the peers who think the game characters are too ugly, but the players generally have similar views.

  Of course, most of the people who say ugly are domestic players.

  There are also many foreign players who praise the game's characters.

  As a human being used to, occasionally some heavy-tasting characters are actually quite interesting.

  And Warcraft has this style originally, but it has been carried forward by World of Warcraft.

"ugly?!"

  Cao Yang sat in a chair and was taken aback.

  Zhuang Yurou looked at his face with an ominous premonition in her heart.

It’s over. It seems to have touched the boss’s pain points. After all, Boss Cao has always been immersed in the praised environment. From the scriptures of mountains and seas to the soul of the assassin, basically no one does not admire Boss Cao’s perfect style of the game. Control ability.

  It has become another word-of-mouth reaction here in World of Warcraft, and it is certainly not a small blow to the boss who has always been close to perfect in art.

   Just when the little secretary was thinking about how to comfort the boss, Cao Yang thought for a while, and then said lightly, "It seems really ugly."

  To say that the character is not ugly, it is too ignorant of conscience.

Cao Yang can’t say this. Even if he has been a wow player for more than ten years in his previous life, he has a deep affection for World of Warcraft, but Cao Yang does not think that the fun and world-class influence of the game can cover up the past. The fact that the painting style is ugly.

  To be precise, the scenes in the game are quite shocking, but the character image is really ugly.

  This was the view when Cao Yang first came into contact with World of Warcraft.

  Human aesthetics will not change because of its greatness.

   "It's very ugly. What tauren, troll, dwarf, dwarf...what a stranger..." Cao Yang shook his head, as if returning to the era when he used to play with his teammates.

  He was only willing to use blood elves, because this was the only race that could be seen.

Eh? !

  Zhuang Yurou froze for a moment.

   didn’t seem to expect the boss to admit the fact that World of Warcraft’s characters are too ugly.

  And how can he say it in such a calm and gentle language?

  You are the boss. The boss must be on the front line. Regardless of whether the game is good or bad, you must always have confidence in the game and always charge first.

  Otherwise, the people below will be very unconfident, okay?

   "It's ugly," Cao Yang turned around and reiterated his point of view again.

   "Uh..." The little secretary's mouth twitched twice, "Then, since it is so ugly, why did you ask the boss to design in this direction in the first place? Can't you change the style?"

  It makes me think this is an alternative art way, just like Picasso's paintings.

   For Picasso's paintings, Zhuang Yurou is also aesthetically incapable.

   "What does ugliness have to do?" Cao Yang said lightly, "The focus of this game is not the character image, the most important thing is the gameplay itself.

  Moreover, the role of the game needs to serve the worldview. All the races that appear in it are actually set according to the Worldview of Warcraft. "

  The orc looks like this, with blue-faced fangs, even in the future live-action version, it’s not easy to see where it goes.

  Not to mention ghosts like dwarfs and draenei.

But these things are to make the whole World of Warcraft’s world view and story more three-dimensional and vivid. Without these weird racial settings, there would not be such a huge world view and so many epic stories. These character images are so similar to each other. The difference, it is precisely because of this that it will make you truly feel the soul of Warcraft.

   Feel the reality of this world.

   "As long as you accept these settings, a new door will be opened in the end," Cao Yang smiled slightly, resting his hands behind his head, leaning on the chair and thinking about the years when he gave the youth risk to World of Warcraft.

   "Actually, after adapting to this style of painting in the end, you still think the character is ugly and handsome."

  "Hmm~"

  The little secretary shook his head into a rattle.

  I can’t accept it.

  ……

   Just when the Chinese were sweating for Bomi’s new game "World of Warcraft", and they were infinitely spitting out their characters, it was June 1st in a blink of an eye.

  "World of Warcraft" is officially launched.

  In order for players to fully experience the fun of the unique multiplayer team in World of Warcraft, Cao Yang directly opened the game to level 60, which is before the opening of the Ahnqi incident.

  In fact, the production part of Outland is almost finished, but considering that players have a hands-on process, the content consumption of the game is not so fast, so there is no rush to open the burning expedition.

  Cao Yang plans to open Outland in a year, so that he can have a more shocking effect and earn a wave of stunts.

  Maintain every once in a while, and open new content when the players consume almost the same content. This rhythm is better.

  ……

  Because of the huge momentum of "World of Warcraft", the publicity offensive is very fierce, coupled with the reputation of its own Bomi and the role of Blizzard's big IP of Warcraft, basically the world's large and small Internet cafes have installed the World of Warcraft game.

  Simultaneously push staff are ready to teach hand in hand at any time.

   Generally speaking, World of Warcraft is more difficult to get started, and the barriers to entry are relatively high, but fortunately, players have already experienced the baptism of the Three Kingdoms online and Jianwang series before, and they are quite comfortable with this kind of real-time dark operation.

  The first player to enter World of Warcraft is a diehard fan of Warcraft, and it can also be regarded as a core fan of Warcraft.

  It is this group of people who spread the seeds of Warcraft all over the world in the previous life.

  ……

  In an Internet cafe called Shuiyu Internet Cafe on Imperial College Road, An Zhouming was sitting in the Internet cafe and typing on the keyboard.

  He is playing the game Audition.

  During the game, he discovered that the beard-and-stubborn brother next door could actually shoot the space bar louder than him.

  This couldn't help making him a little suspicious.

  What a broken game, it doesn’t look like a dancing game.

  Although it was just a quick glance, An Zhouming can probably see that the eldest brother next door is playing an MMORPG.

  After playing a song, he stopped the keyboard and glanced sideways.

  The brother next door is playing with a blood elf paladin, happily tapping the space bar, and jumping forward on the ground.

  An Zhou Ming took a look, "What kind of game is this?"

  "World of Warcraft." The brother next door took a puff of cigarette, dusted the soot very skillfully, and continued to tap the space bar, spinning and jumping forward on the bad block on the ground...

World of Warcraft?

  Oh, by the way, An Zhouming remembered it. Recently, the game's advertisements are everywhere.

  Many audition members of their family seem to have gone to play Warcraft today.

  This makes An Zhouming a little lonely.

  However, he is instinctively resistant to these characters in World of Warcraft.

  "Friend, do you want to come and play together?" The old man next door bit his cigarette **** with his teeth, and gave him a cheerful smile.

"Um……"

  An Zhouming frowned, and saw the big brother who was wearing only a black vest and showing two muscular shirts, he suddenly couldn't bear to say no to him.

  What’s more weird is that this guy clearly looks like a murderer, and there is actually a lovely blood elf girl in the game...

   "Hmm... I will think about it."

   is mainly too ugly.

  ……

    If you see garbled characters, please come back in half an hour.
