Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 174 Inexplicable

Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna were flipping through the player comments on the game details page. Judging from the expressions on their faces, they were obviously praised!

The score of "Latent Red Path" among the players has reached an astonishing 9.5 points. Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna did not expect this score to be too high!

Scoring is actually very subjective. There may be a very mature standard for how to make money by making games, but how can you get a high score by making games?Basically there are not many standards.

Making money is relatively easy to say, many players like to spend money while scolding; but a high score means that players particularly recognize this game, and even some players with great potential have not picked out the faults, or the advantages are so outstanding that They were completely overwhelmed and couldn't bear to find fault!
Therefore, Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna almost thought that Zhong Ming was going to spend money to check the ratings.

Looking at the player comments below, Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna had a feeling: Why did they choose to make games so hard?Just for this moment!
"It's awesome! This is not a text adventure game at all, this is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation! I really didn't expect that there are Chinese designers who can make this kind of game, I really didn't expect it!"

"What impressed me was that sentence: At that moment, I actually thought of Okayama. Although I lied to him all the time from the beginning to the end, he was the only one who didn't betray me."

"Indeed, I was also impressed by that sentence. This game really explains what lurking is. You can't trust anyone, let alone say a wrong sentence, otherwise you will be greeted with a game over and an irreversible ending ! I was abused over and over again, read the file over and over again, and finally cleared the level on my knees!"

"The standard of a masterpiece is that after you have played it, your brain continues to think, and you are unwilling to speak, and your thinking is filled with the emotions expressed by the entire game. This game has done it."

"Five stars are not enough to express respect. Thanks to the producer for taking us back to that past history, allowing me to know these people and experience those things as the protagonist. The creativity is invincible, and the game form of text adventure is the most suitable for this story Yes, I think this will be a swan song, a swan song for text adventure games!"

"The character design is wonderful, the logic is meticulous, and the layout ability is so strong that it explodes. It is as brain-burning as a classic drama. It is unbelievable that this is the work of a new producer!"

"To be honest, I was a little disgusted at the author's desperate advertising on Weibo before, but now I am completely convinced. Even if the producer of such a game is running naked on the street, I will never laugh at him. Yes, on the contrary, you will feel that this is a kind of performance art!"

There are various comments.

Seeing Zhou Sen's heart fluttering, Zhong Ming gently teased him: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning."

Zhou Sen couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: "No, it's hard not to get flustered seeing these players' comments boasting about our game so much!"

Zhong Ming is also very happy. Seeing that this game is recognized by the players, one can know that some excellent literary and artistic works have the soil to survive no matter which time and space they are placed in.Although this game has a very strong brand of the times, it is precisely this brand of the times that makes it unique.

At this time, Zhong Ming's bracelet lighted up, and he saw that it was a new friend request from Linking.

"Zhongyou game platform, Li Meng?"

Zhong Ming didn't know this person, it was Xiao Feng who was in touch with him before.But since he is a staff member of the Zhongyou platform, he must add friends.

Maybe it's because the game data is very good, so I came here to congratulate?
Zhong Ming accepted Li Meng's friend application.

"What are you doing in the promotional materials of your game? Hurry up and change it! Change it according to this standard."

Li Meng came up with a nonsensical sentence and sent a document.

Zhong Ming opened it and saw that he had received this document, and Xiao Feng had also sent him a copy before, but he did not follow this to make a promotional picture.

Why?Because the standard written in this document is not suitable for the game "Latent Red Path".

The standard of this document is still the same as that of ordinary bracelet games. It is required that the promotional images must reflect the current hot spots, and the content of the game must be fully beautified, and even the materials of some popular games are imitated.

Of course, the art materials of other games cannot be directly used, which is an infringement, but on the whole, we are working hard in that direction, which is commonly known as "title party" and "cover party".

But Zhong Ming disliked these things, and how could a game like "Latent Red Path" engage in title party and cover party, could it be possible to make this game a 3A masterpiece?That's not appropriate, do you treat the player as a fool?

So Zhong Ming still made it according to the normal game promotional materials. The original painting level of "Latent Red Road" itself is not low, and the original paintings of individual characters are very vivid, so Zhong Ming didn't think there was anything wrong.

In the end, I didn't expect that the person in charge of Zhongyou would chase after him today and ask for a change?
Totally confused.

Zhong Ming replied: "This standard is not suitable for our game, so there is no need to change it? I think the effect of the current promotional materials is not bad."

"A rule is a rule, why are you making an exception? Text adventure games have a low traffic, and no one clicks on them, and your promotional materials are so poor! The same recommended position, you can't push it out. , why don’t I give it to someone else? I’ll give you an hour to reply, if you can change it, you can change it, if you can’t change it, you can recommend it, anyway, the money is calculated according to the click, you can figure it out.”

Li Meng threw a sentence directly, and there was no reply after that.

Zhong Ming: "..."

MDZZ it is!
But Zhong Ming didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. It would be fine if other minor problems were fixed. The problem is that the game's publicity effect is good now, so it would be a waste of time to make these messy promotional materials?

So Zhong Ming didn't take this matter to heart. This Li Meng's attitude is so bad, probably because he didn't pay attention to the game data of "Latent Red Path".

……

Over there, Li Meng closed the chat window, still puzzled and aggrieved.

Where did this stunned young man come from? He is not very capable and has a strong temper!

Li Meng is responsible for connecting with some small R&D companies, many of them are personal studios, or project teams that are not valued in small companies. Many creative personnel do not have a very clear understanding of publicity and promotion, so Li Meng often He has to fuss about some very basic things, which makes his usual work very irritable.

If you are dealing with a big company or some well-known game producers, then Li Meng will definitely pay attention to your wording, but this is obviously a rookie studio, and he doesn't take his rules seriously at all, which makes him very annoyed up.
