Game designer: I am making games, not charity

"I'm not talented, and I'm also in the game circle, and I really like the dungeon game.

During this period of high-intensity leveling, the progress of the company has been affected. I have to say that the dungeon game is really fun!
But this time Platinum is engaged in this offline competition, I still have to say something sincerely, it may be a little bit drifting.

According to the usual experience, most of the offline competitions held by online games are tepid, and basically few can do it.

The main reason is that there is no way for you to make a profit by hosting a game competition.

There is a comment above that makes sense. Players come to play games, not to watch others play games.

In addition, the number of players in a game is inherently limited, you can't have sponsorship and advertisements like other events, and so many people watch it.

But I still hope that Platinum will not lose so badly, but don't damage such a good game! "

Mr. Ma was sitting in his office, watching the comments among the hot searches on Weibo.

After reading this article, I closed the web page without saying a word, frowning.

After such a long time.

Goose Factory's "Legend of the Warriors" after learning some of the advantages of the platinum "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The latest version of the rework has been completed.

The reason why it can be completed so quickly.

On the one hand, Mr. Ma personally supervised the employees, and the employees worked very hard.

On the other hand, it is also because the content of the game body is already done, even if it is rebuilt, it is done on the basis of the original, rather than completely overturned.

So the workload is not too much.

Today, it was originally the time when the latest version of "Legend of Warriors" was released for testing.

They were originally scheduled to officially post an official announcement at [-] pm and start the second internal test.

But it's only three o'clock in the afternoon.

However, Mr. Ma saw the trending news on Weibo that Platinum Company held the "World's No. [-] Martial Arts Conference".

Originally, the heat and popularity of "Dungeon and Fighter" was enough to be called unprecedented, and it was in full swing.

Now, Platinum has launched the "World's No. [-] Martial Arts Conference", which has attracted the attention of a large number of players.

Among other things, the heat will be full first.

It is definitely able to absorb another wave of traffic for Platinum.

The original players will also treat this game very enthusiastically.

But like that comment he just saw said.

And after that?
Nothing at all!

Running a game is self-indulgence. It is to spend some time and spare money to increase the stickiness of players. It is impossible to make a profit at all. This is the consensus among many major game companies.

So there is no game company in this world that would host an offline competition with such fanfare.

Because it is really not necessary.

If we say that other game companies, even some big foreign companies, suddenly held such a competition.

Mr. Ma would probably just smile and tell his subordinates to observe and pay attention to follow up.

But now, the one doing this is Platinum!
Sudden rise after failing once can always come up with new ideas and new things, and platinum who can always succeed!
Mr. Ma pondered for a moment, and suddenly opened the official website of Platinum Games Company on his computer.

Click into the dungeon to find the update log about this World's No. [-] Martial Arts Association.

Without missing a word, read it carefully.

A total of 100 million bonuses, all accommodation included.

And a very expensive stadium was chosen to host the event.

After a rough estimate, the price paid by Platinum for such a competition should be more than 500 million.

And more importantly... There will be no offline audience for this competition, and no tickets will be sold outside!

This is almost equivalent to cutting off the only possibility of paying back the event.

You don’t even sell tickets, and there are no spectators to build a stadium that big, and everyone can watch it for free on the Internet.

What are you doing for charity?
Though thinking so.

But Mr. Ma still felt more and more uncertain the more he watched.

Where did Platinum get the confidence to do such a thing?
Although subconsciously, he was not optimistic about Platinum's game this time.

However, he had to wonder if Platinum would have another showy operation, making this seemingly unnecessary thing a huge success?
Wait until the entire update log has been read.

Mr. Ma finally made a decision, he plans to suspend the publicity test of his own game first.

Let's wait until he sees how Platinum's game works this time.

If Platinum doesn't do very well this time around.

Then it's time for them to promote the game.

With such a big fanfare, if the results and the public's response are not very good, it will definitely be a big blow to the dungeon game in terms of word-of-mouth and influence.

At that time, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate for them to carry out the publicity of the second internal test.

But at the same time.

In fact, Mr. Ma also made a small calculation.

If the Platinum Company really started the competition this time and found a way to make money.

Then their goose factory can naturally follow suit!
Although now Guangbi's new game Platinum is definitely a winner.

But Goose Factory is not a small and poor game manufacturer.

Even after two or three failures now, the basic situation of Goose Factory has not been shaken in the slightest.

Including the VR version of "Legend of Warriors", the previous games of Goose Factory have hardly been greatly affected.

It is still creating wealth for the goose factory all the time.

Moreover, Goose Factory's tentacles have already been promoted to various places in the video music communication software.

Their size is just too big.

More money, more influence, more connections, and more action.

With the exception of a few recent games, Platinum is unlikely to be a match for Goose Factory on any level.

Therefore, as long as he can find the core reason for Platinum's success in hosting offline competitions.

It can be copied, with more money, bigger venues, better publicity, more audiences, and more investment, to hold a game competition that is countless times more successful than Platinum!

Last come first!

Platinum generally has no ability to resist.

This is the power of capital!

Thinking of this, Mr. Ma immediately called a meeting of all employees to suspend the publicity test of "Legend of Warriors".

Not just goose factories.

Including Pig Factory and other large and small game companies.

At this moment, they are also staring at Platinum Corporation, to see if this cross-river dragon will cause another storm in the game circle this time.

Or finally make an unprecedented mistake!
……

Time, little by little.

With the official release of the "World's No. [-] Martial Arts Conference" invitation to each player's hands.

Everyone's enthusiasm for leveling is getting higher and higher. In the game, players are also discussing this pk competition every day.

But all of this has nothing to do with the ghost swordsman whose id is "Mr. Tree" in Grand Forest.

He is still taking newcomers day after day, hitting wild strawberries.

During the break yesterday, his wild strawberries had reached 9998, and he was only short of the last one. His goal was accomplished!

But he doesn't plan to play this subject now or buy it directly.

He wants to find each other first.

Find the magician sister.

So last night he went to bed early and slept until noon.

After getting up and washing, he took a shower and changed clothes, and even played with a small hairstyle for himself.

He used his best efforts to express the importance he attached to this meeting.

After packing everything up.

Yang Shu finally sat in front of the computer, skillfully opened the game and logged in, and selected a character.

Enter the tuba called Mr. Tree.

"Today is another day full of hope."

In the Celia Hotel, the little girl Celia who was rescued by him at the beginning of the game said happily.

This line of dialogue that he usually ignores, but today, Yang Shu thinks it is very appropriate and very relevant.

He looked at the 9998 wild strawberries in his inventory.

The finger pressed the down button.

Walked out of the Celia Hotel.

When I was about to go in the direction of the entrance of the Lorraine forest instance.

But suddenly he was taken aback.

He no longer needs to hit strawberries now.

So he turned around and walked towards the sky city on the west coast.

But not a few steps away.

Yang Shu's eyes saw a familiar figure.

That's an elementalist.

Elementalists are converted from magicians.

At this time, the elementalist was wearing an out-of-print fashion, and his weapon was also an exaggerated and beautiful staff.

Moreover, the entire weapon was emitting a thick light, obviously it had been strengthened to a high level.

Beside the elementalist, a pet with wings, like a phoenix, is slowly flying around the whole figure, and the wings leave a flame-like light during the flight.

The whole looks very gorgeous.

If it weren't for the familiar ID on the top of the head: Magical Little Princess.

I'm afraid poplar may not recognize it.

At this time, he was by the elementalist's side.

There was also a general who was converted from an ammunition expert.

The level of the general has reached, and the full level of 60 is equipped with fashion and pets, which is also extremely luxurious.

And what Yang Shu cares about even more.

At this moment, the general and the elementalist are above their heads.

Also bear a common name.

"Grow old together"!
This is the title that only married men and women in "Dungeon and Warriors" will have.

The general is currently recruiting people in the main city.

The public screen shouted: "The new guild recruits strongly, regardless of level, regardless of equipment, those who join the guild are brothers.

As long as the PK skills pass the level, the bosses and masters in the union will bring a copy upgrade for free, and even give them equipment.

Let us prepare for the 'World's No. [-] Martial Arts Tournament' together! "

Recently, because of the official competition, many guild members have begun to expand their recruitment.

I hope to recruit some talented masters to participate in the competition and bring honor to the guild.

At the same time, if you have certain abilities in reality, you can also rely on these fame to increase some income for yourself.

And the magician girl who has been transferred to an elementalist is naturally accompanied by the general to recruit people.

From time to time, above their heads, there were advertisements for the union's recruitment.

The name of the union is exactly the same.

The titles above the heads of the two also outline a huge heart-shaped special effect on the top from time to time.

Everything is showing the relationship between these two people.

Yang Shu, who was originally full of joy and anticipation, stared straight at the scene on the screen, and even forgot to breathe!
It's just that I haven't seen you for more than ten days.

The magician girl has become an elementalist, and beside her, there is already a general!

When did they meet?

Before or after you met me?

At that time, the magician sister rejected my invitation to form a team. Did she already know each other at that time?

That's right, at that time she said that she already had a pet.

And even the fatigue potion can be used to the upper limit...

I should have thought of this earlier...

But why did he ask me to give him 9999 strawberries?

Looking at the equipment and fashion on the two of them, looking at the titles of the two being intimate.

There were many thoughts in Yang Shu's mind, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.

At this moment, Yang Shu suddenly felt that he really looked like a fool.

Brushing 9999 wild strawberries blindly.

Now, the strawberries are finally about to be collected.

But looking at all this, is the effort he has made worthwhile?
Yang Shu sat on his chair blankly, without any movement, and his ghost swordsman also stood motionless in the corner of the screen.

After a long time has passed.

Only then did Yang Shu blink his reddened eyes, controlling the berserker who looked so shabby.

Walking up to those two people, he typed on the public screen and asked the elementalist: "Who is he? Didn't you promise to wait for me? I've almost collected all the 9999 wild strawberries you mentioned back then!

But who is he?Is it your friend?Or your girlfriend?
Does our previous promise count? "

Sent it again and it was ignored.

So Yang Shu posted it a second time, copied it and posted it a third time, a fourth time and a fifth time...

The elementalist had been posting the union's recruitment advertisements.

But all of a sudden, that ad stopped.

She had already found the poplar tree, but now she could only pretend to ignore it, so she hurriedly typed and chatted privately with the general and said, "Let's go, don't recruit people here."

The general recruited people well at first, but he didn't pay attention to what Yang Shu and Yang Shu said.

But the word "wife" next to him made him slightly dazed.

go?
This is the most lively place with the most players. Everyone recruits people here. Why do you want to leave?
At this time, the general also saw the berserker, Mr. Shu, who had been standing beside him with that sentence.

I also saw what the other people who had gathered around at some point, typing and chatting with each other in the public screen.

"Why did Mr. Tree come here?"

"Who is Mr. Tree talking to?"

"It should be the magician, the closest."

"Isn't that an elementalist?"

"You're fucking trying to find fault, aren't you?"

"Damn it, it's said that Mr. Tree brushes strawberries to chase after a girl. Could it be this elementalist?"

"No way? This elementalist has become someone else's wife, and at first glance, he is not at the same level as Mr. Shu!"

"Although it seems a little unreasonable... But Mr. Shu seems to be looking for this little magician princess. Just now, the little magician princess moved a few steps to the side, and Mr. Shu followed immediately."

……

Seeing these words, the general was dumbfounded.

He immediately looked at Mr. Shu, who was swiping the screen, and his wife next to him.

At this time, the magician little princess moved a few steps towards the west coast, and kept persuading him to recruit people in another place in the private chat.

And Mr. Shu followed behind his wife.

This scene is a normal person, and I'm afraid it can be discovered.

has a problem!
At this moment, the general's heart is very complicated.

He had also heard of someone harvesting wild strawberries and taking newcomers before. It was said that that person wanted to collect 9999 wild strawberries for a girl.

After knowing that this incident was true, he even felt that this person was quite infatuated and awesome.

After all, he is also the kind of person who believes that there will be true feelings in the game.

Otherwise, I wouldn't give such a set of good equipment and fashion to the magician girl next to me.

But regarding the Strawberry Pair, he never thought about his wife!

But at the moment, looking at all this.

He finally fully reacted.

It turns out that the man who has been talked about by the players all the time, even called a lover by some, and an idiot by some, who brushes wild strawberries, is after his wife!

Now everyone in the server who knows about this matter thinks that Mr. Shu and that girl are a couple.

But now that girl turned out to be his wife!

What the hell is this?
Am I living someone else's love story?
So what kind of character am I?
The general only felt that the top of his head was green, and even his hair was green in the hair follicles.

At this time, the players watching this scene also kept guessing.

The center of the screen is full of green light with one mouthful and one green hat brush.

The general finally couldn't take it anymore, he typed quickly, and asked through gritted teeth on the public screen, "Honey, what's your relationship with this guy?!"

Before waiting for the magician sister, he sent another one: "Tell me, has this idiot been pestering you?
Were wild strawberries wishful thinking on his part?

Is this idiot harassing you? "

At this moment, the Elementalist's complexion was also very ugly.

She never imagined that Mr. Shu would actually brush wild strawberries here for more than ten days just because of her words!
Although she often heard about Mr. Shu bringing in newcomers, she always felt that Mr. Shu would not be able to persist for a long time.

Unexpectedly, he has persisted until today.

No matter how hard-hearted the elementalist is, at this moment, she has no way to say insulting words to Yang Shu.

But at the same time, she was unwilling to let her lose the golden thigh of the great general.

So, she quickly typed on the public screen to explain: "It's all my fault. I asked him to farm wild strawberries. It was me. I didn't tell him clearly, so I got together with you. It's all my fault." ,Do not get angry."

The general was stunned for a while.

Dare to feel that this is not the whole pot of Yangshu.

My wife actually has a problem!
But after all, I have been in the game for a long time, and I have invested a lot of time and energy.

The general couldn't just abandon this relationship casually.

The next moment, he sent a long message in the private chat: "Okay, I don't care what happened to you before. Your fashion, pets, and weapons are all bought by me. What kind of equipment do you have?" Didn’t I take you to type this? I’ll just ask you, you’re with him, or you’re with me!”

The Elementalist sister was in a complicated mood, and slowly sent a message: "Of course I'm with you."

The general nodded: "Okay, since this is the case, you should tell him clearly, scold him, and tell everyone that he is pestering you!"

But the elementalist didn't speak any more. To Mr. Shu, he really couldn't swear.

The general ignored him, and directly sent another message: "I will scold you for you!"

After saying this, the general turned around and summoned all the online members in the guild group chat, and asked them all to come over, and at the entrance of Gran's Forest, swipe the public screen to scold Mr. Tree!

Soon, a large group of people rushed over, and everyone started swiping the screen.

The entire guild, at least 30 to [-] people, stood beside the general, and they scolded Yang Shu angrily on all channels.

"What's wrong with learning to harass other people's wives? People like you are going to be beaten to death in the real world, you know?"

"You idiot, brushing wild strawberries every day, do you really think you are infatuated with planting them?!"

"I didn't expect you, Mr. Shu, to be this kind of person, to harass his wife. I'm really bah."

"Haunting our president's wife every day, are you shameless? A 39-level garbage ghost swordsman."

"Looking at his poor appearance, he has the nerve to pester our president's wife, idiot!"

For a moment, the screen was full of insults.

But Mr. Shu stood aside, still persistently brushing that one.

He didn't care about these words of other people at all, he just wanted to know the answer of the magician sister in front of him.

Make this situation.

The elementalist couldn't bear it either.

Poplar did nothing wrong.

It's just too serious.

She didn't expect Yang Shu to be so serious, everyone was just playing games, why bother?
After all, she still has a conscience.

So I typed on the public screen and said to the people in the union: "You all stop scolding him. This matter is indeed my problem. I didn't handle it well. Can you let me handle it?"

However, it would be better if the magician didn't say that.

Just say it.

The general who was scolding Yang Shu originally.

Finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He immediately shifted his gun and cursed at the magician girl.

"You still help this idiot to talk? Are you brainless? Do you really think it's fun to cuckold me?

Now scold him to death!

Beep beep again, and even you bitch will scold you together.

Did you hear me?Scold me! "

The magician panicked immediately, and didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, the situation here was also spread by word of mouth among the onlookers.

And the continuous broadcast of small speakers on the world channel.

Known by more and more people.

The newcomers who had been taken by Mr. Shu learned about the situation one after another.

"Someone bullied Mr. Tree! That Mr. Tree who took us through the Thunder Ruin and only harvested wild strawberries!"

"Grass! Where is it? I'll come right over!"

"Over there on the west coast!"

"Ma De, dare to bully Mr. Shu, we will go and attack them!"

The advantage of games over reality is that you don't have so many worries.

You can act more with your heart.

It can be despicable and shameless, or it can be full of chivalrous spirit, not forgetting old feelings, and bursting into anger.

For something that in the real world, you don't even pay attention to at all, do something that is also impossible to do in the real world.

Wantonly pour out the most sincere emotions and feelings in my heart!

They put down the dungeons they were brushing one by one, and rushed over quickly!
Soon, at the entrance of Gran's Forest, people who helped Mr. Tree came one after another.

One, two, five... ten... thirty... fifty... seventy...

A large number of players stood there densely.

It is simply a nightmare for dense fear.

If it wasn't for the game being modified by Chen Feng.

I'm afraid this space is going to be overwhelmed by players!
