Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 629 The chatting routine of overseas netizens; Boss Tian is going to live broadcast and make games!

Years tick by tick, the weather is getting colder.

The calm lake has begun to freeze, and the number of pedestrians wandering on the street has begun to decrease.

05 1 Month 15 Day.

【Starry Sky Technology Company】has negotiated with major major powers in the world, and will officially release the international version of 【Starry Sky Smartphone】.

This news did not cause any sensation in the country, and the official Weibo was just a routine announcement, and there was no overwhelming publicity, mainly because it was unnecessary.

But it's different in the international arena.

Overseas technology fans have been looking forward to it for a long time, and on the day when the official news was confirmed, it became popular on social forums.

[Starry Sky Technology Company-International Branch Headquarters] issued a message saying: "Due to the comprehensive consideration of customs duties, business tax, value-added tax, and transportation costs in each country, the versions of each country are different. Considering the currency risk of each country , so we decided to use US dollars for settlement. For specific information, please pay attention to the latest notices of branches in various countries. Thank you for reading and wish you a happy life."

Netizens quickly found the latest news about the [Starry Sky Branch] in their own country, and many of them were immediately dumbfounded.

"The average price here in Animal Kingdom is actually US$790? The original price is US$677, and the tax deduction alone costs an extra US$112.6. Isn't this too bad?"

"This is already normal, okay? Have you ever bought imported things upstairs? Digital electronic products such as mobile phones and computers have high import taxes and value-added taxes."

"$790 is completely enough, okay? The Lighthouse Country has already sold it for $890!!! Why don't the officials die?"

"Is the price on your side so horrible? Our Chicken Feather Country only sells it for $699! I love my country!!!"

"Chicken Feather Country seems to have signed a long-term cooperation agreement, so the tax deduction has been discounted a lot, and basically only one operating cost and transportation cost are left."

"To be honest, I don't feel sorry for spending a few hundred dollars on [Xingkong Smartphone], but paying more than 200 dollars to the government is very uncomfortable."

"If you can buy parallel imports, it should be much cheaper, but... there is no need for that, the risk is too great, and if it breaks, it will be very troublesome to repair."

"Upstairs, I think you can really be satisfied. The average price in the Portuguese country is 1147 US dollars, which has nearly doubled. I have the heart of immigrant."

"It's okay to deduct nearly $500 in tax deductions... My depressed mood was relieved at once."

"The tax deduction is so ruthless... just go directly to the chicken feather country to buy parallel imports. Anyway, the global version is the same in any country, and the difference between the versions is not very big."

"The above is really a road. From the country of grapes to the country of chicken feathers, the round trip is less than 200 US dollars. At least 300 US dollars can be saved!"

"It's less than 200 dollars for a round trip? Hehe, young people, you probably don't go abroad often, right? Or you just don't know how to save money."

"Solution?"

"Take a car directly from the country of Portugal to the country of chicken feathers. After arriving at the station, go directly to the nearest [Starry Sky Brand Store] to buy, and then go back to China...at least 400 US dollars can be saved. If you help others to buy, you may earn a lot of money back and forth A thousand dollars, a fine product!!!”

"I buy it!!!"

Netizens chatted and chatted, and the topics became strange.

From "Finally the international version is going to be released, I'm so excited" to "Why is the tax deduction so harsh? Greetings to the official mother".

Then to "I found a business opportunity!!!", and then to "I plan to travel to the country of chicken feathers, do you need my help to bring some local products?"...

Say-

[Starry Sky Smartphone] How did it become a local product of the Chicken Feather Country?

This made all the foreigners from the Great Xia Kingdom feel confused... It wasn't until they carefully understood the ins and outs of this matter that they suddenly realized it.

"Speaking of which, why don't you just go directly to the Great Xia Kingdom for wholesale, why do you still want to go to the Chicken Feather Kingdom? Isn't this looking far away?"

Some overseas Great Xia people raised questions.

This question... baffled a lot of crooked nuts at first, until someone asked him if he never looked at the world map?

"Great Xia Kingdom is in the Eastern Hemisphere, and Chicken Feather Kingdom is in the Western Hemisphere. Which one is closer?"

When it comes to "which solution is more cost-effective", Wai Guoren is not all idiots. After careful consideration, they think that it is more cost-effective to go to the Kingdom of Chicken Feather than to go to the Kingdom of Great Xia.

Although there are dozens of dollars in taxes to be paid, compared to the hundreds of dollars in travel costs, the former is obviously not a big deal.

……

[Starry Sky Smartphone] is released globally, shocking consumers all over the world.

They are more amazed by this product than the consumers in Great Xia Kingdom. Before this product appeared in their hands, how many of them dared to believe that this is a real product, not just a special effect that exists in the video? What about the scene here?
And at the same time—

Regarding the fact that "consumers in the Portuguese country broke out to travel to the country of chicken feathers, but they only stayed in the country of chicken feathers for less than half a day and returned collectively" has also become a big news in the world. Netizens all saw the joke.

"No, isn't it? Isn't this what we were talking about before? There are really a large number of people doing this?"

"Isn't the country of Portugal and the country of chicken feathers neighboring countries? Both countries seem to be quite small, about the same size as two or three provinces of ours, and the distance is very close... Is there anything to travel?"

"Traveling to the Feather Country, and returning collectively in less than half a day... Laughing to death."

"I have reason to suspect that this is a back door specially reserved by [Xingkong Technology Company] for consumers in the Portuguese country...it may be related to tax issues."

"The officials of the Portuguese country will be dumbfounded this time. The series of taxes they collected are the highest in the world. As a result, even their own citizens are not happy."

"I heard that there are not as many genuine copies in the market as parallel imports in the Portuguese country. I don't know if it's true..."

Officials in the Portuguese country will soon introduce new policies.

At the beginning, they wanted to directly issue a prohibition order, not allowing their own people to buy products from the chicken feather country, trying to prevent this kind of thing from happening at the root.

However, this incident caused unanimous dissatisfaction among consumers and the officials of the chicken feather country. In the end, they had to announce a tax reduction and adjust the original average price of US$1147 to US$700. This made consumers satisfied, but at the same time, those who bought at the original price Consumers are very unhappy and feel that they have been taken advantage of.

Anyhow, this is pretty interesting.

……

"Is it really you who opened the back door?"

Su Qiong saw the "reveal" of an international media, and also had some doubts whether Tian Moyun did it on purpose.

"No, it's purely a coincidence."

Tian Moyun shook his head: "Both the Grape Country and the Chicken Feather Country are small countries with developed economies. Their own technology industries are very average, and they basically rely on cross-border cooperation."

"Their previous mobile communication base station was built with the help of Great Xia Kingdom, and the communication service of [Xingkong Smartphone] relies on this communication architecture."

"In addition, the common language and power supply standards of the residents of the Portuguese country and the chicken feather country are also the same, so... this is why the products of the two countries are exactly the same."

"As for the weird news that the media broke the news...it's entirely the Portuguese country's own fault. If they hadn't insisted on collecting taxes so harshly, why would they go abroad?"

"The situation in the two countries is similar, and they are also close to each other. The difference in taxation is too great. It can save 400 US dollars...Why do people spend money?"

Su Qiong thought about it, and she was right.

Afterwards, the two didn't talk about it anymore. It was just a weird piece of news. The "dispute" between the Portuguese country and the chicken feather country was irrelevant to the entire global plan.

Even if the average purchasing power of consumers in two small and wealthy countries is strong, they cannot affect the global trend after all.

"The globalization of [Xingkong Smartphone] is not a problem at present."

Tian Moyun said: "According to the feedback received, this product is very popular in all countries in the world, and it is also very easy to sell. Even some countries that are hostile to the Great Xia Kingdom can hardly resist the charm of smartphones... This wave It's stable, the only problem that required bothering one's mind and mind a year ago was probably the [mini game platform]."

Small game platform!
This is something Tian Moyun has been concerned about. It has been nearly half a month since it was launched at the beginning of the month, and many gamers have gone to make games, but the result...

In short, it is not ideal.

Although Tian Moyun has always said that "making games is a matter of inspiration", things are often not that simple.

Playing a game is like writing a novel. Inspiration is always there, but how to present/express the inspiration in your mind is the key to the problem.

After players are familiar with the development tools, they often encounter various difficulties and setbacks when making games by themselves.

When all these problems are solved, the enthusiasm for making games will basically be lost.

I have to say that even the simplest game design cannot be done casually, and it takes a long time and thought to think about each step.

How to present the inspiration in the mind in the form of a game, how to obtain the qualification to sign a contract, how to impress the players... There are a lot of things to think about.

"I saw a couple of good scripts."

Su Qiong said: "If you give some pointers, I think there is still hope to make a good game."

"Maybe I can show them."

Tian Moyun thought for a while: "For those of us in the industry, making this kind of small game is a piece of cake. As long as we have enough time and patience, even one person can easily handle it... This is comparable to our original production of " "Super Mario" is much simpler, with a rich mini-game engine and a mature framework system, you can make games without writing code, which has reduced the difficulty of getting started to the lowest point."

"How would you like to demonstrate?"

Su Qiong felt a little curious.

"Well... let's start the live broadcast, it's been a long time since I started the live broadcast."

Tian Moyun expressed his thoughts: "Using the live broadcast method to teach on the spot, no matter whether it can become popular or not, it can bring a lot of heat to the [mini game platform], and it can also give some references to players who try to make games."

"How to say?"

Su Qiong was puzzled.

If the game produced by the live broadcast becomes popular, it can indeed bring some guidance, which is convenient for players to use for reference.

But if it is not popular, how can it play a positive role?
"You have to think for the best."

Tian Moyun smiled: "Think about it, if the game I made during the live broadcast failed, what would the players think? Would they think: Wow! Even Tian Moyun has gone to the street, if I succeed, wouldn't it be Prove that I am stronger than Tian Moyun? And if it really fails, it will be great news that netizens will love to hear."

"Uh……"

Su Qiong was speechless for a while, if you want to say that...that's true.

She originally wanted to ask Tian Moyun if she was sure, but seeing that everyone has such an attitude, is it important to be sure?
"I think you can be more ruthless."

Su Qiong was also taken aback by him: "You can consider the dual mode of offline activities + online live broadcast, just hold this event in the local capital of the imperial capital, and bring offline players to join in the fun. Wouldn't it be even more exciting then? Interesting? You can even ask the audience to make requests on the spot, and then you make the game according to the requests they give..."

"???"

The smile on Tian Moyun's face gradually disappeared.

Let the audience make requests on the spot... Who knows what weird requests these sand sculpture players will make?
Although Tian Moyun has a treasure trove of games from his previous life and can make all kinds of weird games, this kind of thing is still uncertain.

Although he was teasing himself just now, saying that if he really failed, the netizens would like to hear about it... But that is humility and self-mockery, do you understand what it means to be humble?
well known!

Tian Moyun never does things that he is not sure of, he prefers to seek stability.

If it was a live broadcast, he already had ideas for the design of some small games in his mind, and the production of the live broadcast would not be too difficult, as long as he left the impression of a "genius designer" on the audience.

After all, this was the public's intuitive impression of him.

But offline activities...is this a bit too much?
"Aren't you afraid?"

Su Qiong turned into a great onmyoji: "That's it? No way, no way, you won't be really scared..."

"Are you teaching me to do things?"

Tian Moyun fought back sharply.

……

"Actually, making games on the spot... It's not impossible to consider, but there is a problem."

Tian Moyun frowned slightly, and said: "Even if it's a small game, if you want to do it safely, it will take a long time...Will it be boring to do this on the spot? If you let the players choose as you said …Other genres are fine, but I’m afraid of a story RPG, which can’t be done in a short time.”

"Shouldn't it be boring?"

Su Qiong held his chin and thought for a while: "I think you may have fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking. You have to know that no matter online or offline, this kind of show is not for ordinary audiences, but for those who are interested in making games. people..."

"They are interested in this industry, and they will naturally be very interested in your teaching. Why do they feel bored?"

"Besides, isn't your original idea just to play a guiding role through this? It's not a performance."

Su Qiong's words made Tian Moyun thoughtful.

……

1 month 17 day.

Tian Moyun updates Weibo dynamics:
"Happy winter everyone. It has been half a month since the [Xingkong Smartphone] was released. The domestic sales are very strong, and the global sales are also good. All of this is thanks to everyone's support and love."

"Also, what I'm going to talk about today has nothing to do with mobile phones, it's just a random start."

"I mainly want to talk to you about [mini game platform]. I see that many netizens are trying to make mini games, and I am very pleased to see everyone is so enthusiastic."

"But... making a game is not an easy task. Even if it is a small game without the threshold of writing code, if you want to make a game well, you need a lot of professional preparation work."

"In order to let everyone get started quickly, I plan to open another live broadcast to explain to you some skills and experience in making small games, and maybe I can provide you with some help within my ability."

"One more important thing—"

"I would like to hold an offline event in [Thunder Life Park] in the Zhaoyang District of the imperial capital, for friends who are more interested in making games."

"In the offline event, I will make a small game on the spot. The type and theme of the game can be freely asked by the audience... The premise is that it is not too difficult and does not embarrass me, thank you."

"Because the venue is limited and cannot accommodate too many people (a large vacant gym), there are only 100 places on site. Please forgive me for this."

"Don't ask me why I don't hold it at the Imperial Capital Indoor Stadium, where there are millions of dollars a day, it's a dead end..."

"It's not a big deal this time. It doesn't matter if you come to the scene or not. Anyway, there will be a live broadcast."

"Well... because the number of places on the spot is really limited, and this matter is not worthy of everyone's attention, so in terms of the distribution of places, let's mention two small conditions."

"First: Those who have registered permanent residence in the imperial capital or live in the imperial capital (provide a proof, no formality is required, student ID or work permit is fine). Friends who live in the imperial capital are relatively close to me, so if you are interested, come and see."

"Second: If you are interested in and have ideas about making mini games, you can send your design draft and the above proofs to the email address, with a unified title format: Mini Game On-Site Application."

"I will personally check all the emails and reply to friends who have passed the application... In other words, those who have not passed the application will not reply, because the time is limited."

"The live broadcast time will be set on January 1, which is 23:9 am this Saturday."

"For friends who have passed the application, I will send your contact information to the person in charge of this event, and we will confirm the situation with you through specific contact. During this period, please keep the call open."

"The above is the content of today's Weibo, thank you for watching."

"Finally add: It's best not to send me spam and harassing emails, and don't intentionally cause damage. If you are found out, your account may be in danger of being banned, and the banning method is: suspected of disseminating colored content... ...I hope everyone knows, thank you."

……

After writing the eloquent 931 characters, I simply checked the typos, and then clicked upload.

After the upload was successful, Tian Moyun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very happy.

"Readers nowadays are not as easy to fool as they used to be. Thinking about word counting is getting more and more difficult, and every time the number of words is counted, there is an inexplicable sense of guilt... However, how can you give up on something so popular because of the difficulty? In life, we will always encounter difficulties, and when we overcome difficulties through hard work, we can reap the joy of satisfaction and achievement.”

Tian Moyun took a deep breath: "Besides, the feeling of guilt... It's actually quite exciting to think about it. When I think of the angry, speechless, depressed but helpless feelings of the readers when they see this, my heart is full. It's like eating honey."

……

Not long after Tian Moyun's Weibo was posted, the game channel became lively.

"Boss Tian is going to broadcast live again! This time the content is not to play games, but to make games. Hey, live broadcast and make games... My god, just thinking about it makes me excited."

"Not just playing live games, but also live teaching!!!"

"However, why are there only 100 places on the scene? Even if it is limited to the imperial capital... But how can 100 be enough???"

"I was happy at first, until I saw that there were 100 places, and I had to live in the imperial capital... I was in a bad mood."

"The competition is a bit fierce, but it doesn't matter, sisters. If you work hard, you will be fine. This time, it's not about probabilities, but about strength. Sisters, come on!!!"

"Who is your sister? Do girls still play [mini game platform]? It's amazing."

"What's the matter with girls? Girls can't play games? Isn't Xiao Su a girl? Isn't Xiao Bai a girl? It's been 5002 years, why do you still discriminate against girls so much? You're so angry!"

"I got off topic upstairs... But to be honest, the strength is really good, and Boss Tian personally reviewed it... I'm so excited."

"Boss Tian personally reviewed it, so it looks more professional. After all, looking at the game industry, in terms of influence, income, achievements, and popularity... Who can compare with Boss Tian?"

"I wanted to ask why I didn't go to the Imperial Capital Gymnasium to hold it. I was shocked by the cost of millions of dollars a day... The rent of the Imperial Capital Gymnasium is so high? It's terrible."

"An indoor stadium that can normally accommodate [-] spectators is still in a place like the Imperial Capital, where every inch of land is expensive. What do you think? Thousands of dollars a day? The annual maintenance cost of people is tens of millions."

"Hahaha, I have a self-media article to write again, and the title is: [Shocked! Tian Moyun commented on the Imperial Stadium like this, the truth makes the scalp tingle...]."

"Upstairs, I already guessed the content of your manuscript: Tian Moyun Weibo complained about the high rent of the gymnasium, which is as high as one million a day? Netizens said their scalps are numb. I don't know what everyone thinks? The editor is also very curious."

"I'm dying from laughing... Please don't be crooked, will you?"

"Boss Tian is really a considerate person. It is stipulated that you must live in the imperial capital, and it is 9:30 on Saturdays. It is obviously to take care of everyone's desire to sleep in on weekends, and you don't want people who are too far away to pass by. I don't think it is necessary. .”

"That's true, and at 9:30... I have a hunch that Boss Tian might be in charge of the meal! Think about the lunch at [Thunder Life Park]!!! My mouth is watering."

"No one wants to complain about the last sentence? If someone sends spam/harassing emails, the account will be banned on the grounds that it is suspected of having colored content... I spit on the screen on the spot."

Netizens were full of joy, giggling like a group of sand sculptures.

In a [public communication group on a small game platform], a certain game big V suddenly posted a paragraph:

"Boss Tian is such a lazy person, he still has to host a live broadcast, or even teach offline... He obviously wants to tell you that the games you make are too rubbish, and he really can't stand it... The hints are so obvious , can't you all feel it?"

As soon as these words came out, the active chat group fell silent instantly.

Brother die, you are too heartbroken, you are so straight...you must not have a girlfriend, right?
