Chapter 15: Call me Director!(1/2)
What made Chu Jun feel most lost is that the game "Fantasy" is actually a game made by Chinese people that cheat money for the sake of cheating money.
Originally, the game was quite popular at the beginning.
It is an open science fiction sandbox game with a high degree of freedom. The game background is roughly a robot scattered on a desolate desert planet.
In order to find its way home, it needs to collect some materials to repair the rocket.
Combining the CG and exquisite illustrations given by the promotional video, it still looks like that.
The price is 394, which is considered an extremely high sales price in the gaming circle.
However, because it was developed by Chinese game studios, science fiction and sandboxes, many Chinese players are trying to support domestic products and purchased this game on the day they were released.
After getting it, I was completely stunned.
How outrageous is this game?
First of all, the 3D modeling framework is very garbage, and I won’t talk about all kinds of modeling.
The scene is even more outrageous, with endless yellow sand, and several sets of stone models posted, scattered randomly.
Even some students who like to tinker with their programming can make this thing with their feet.
The most outrageous thing is that the main mission of this game is super! Very! Universe! Boring!
At the beginning, the player was asked to collect 10 rocket repair materials, but the location of the materials was not given, so the player was allowed to control the worn-out robots to search everywhere on the planets covered with yellow sand.
During this process, there are no combat scenes and decryption elements.
It's just pure searching.
After the player finally found 10 repair materials, he asked the player to find 100 materials for repairing the rocket program.
Many people have already abandoned the pit when they play this far, and they have commented and started to rush to the "Fantasy" game studio.
But there is a player who has a very strong willpower. He continued to search in the lonely desert and finally collected 100 pieces of materials.
After submission.
There was a bug in the system!
The player posted this on the forum, and the game studio finally couldn't withstand the pressure and fixed the bug.
However, the materials collected by the player with great difficulty were also cleared.
So he tried to collect all the materials again.
I thought what was waiting for him was the scene of the Rockets taking off and returning to their homeland.
However, it did not.
The system interface pops up again, requiring players to collect 5,000 copies of various ores as the rocket's flight fuel.
This player is also a thorny kid. He just wanted to see what the game he bought from 394 is like. The game of 394 may be fun behind it?
So, he embarked on the journey of collecting supplies again.
When he worked hard to collect the materials again and finally thought he could start the Rockets.
The game ended directly and bounced back to the main interface of the game.
The player uploaded his experience to the forum in anger, saying that this is a game that has not even been created for the ending.
There is not even the ending screen. As long as the materials are collected, they will bounce back to the main interface, either exit or start a new game.
The condemnation is getting louder and louder.
In the end, the game studio had no choice but to update the game content again and claimed that the game ending had been produced.
When the player went online, he was stunned.
This time, not only did all the 5,000 ores he had collected hard to zero, but an additional collection table was added.
9999999999 battery blocks are required to be collected.
At this point, this game studio is clearly showing it - a small quilt is covered under the overpass, everything you say is right
But this seemingly impossible and boring task was completed by the player who only wanted to see the game pass.
He spent several months, traveling back and forth alone every day in every corner of the desolate desert.
At the end of the day, all the materials were finally collected.
There was no scene of the rocket launching, nor any other scenes waiting for him.
There is only one sentence of red characters on white and red characters printed with PS software.
"Hey, congratulations on passing the level."
The player was said to have been thinking about his life in front of the computer for a day.
...
In short, the emergence of this game is simply a stain on the history of game development.
After drawing this finished game, Chu Jun numbed his head from beginning to end.
How to sell it?
Not to mention selling 394, even if it only costs 1 yuan, it is a blasphemy to the player's IQ.
"Useless garbage." Chu Jun sighed helplessly. This thing can't be thrown away.
There will also be a grid in the system inventory...
After thinking about it, he decided to export the game and throw it into the USB flash drive.
Seal it forever with a USB drive.
The eyes swept to the system, and the second time you open the treasure chest will consume 2,000 points of reputation.
kill!
"Click."
With a tremor in the treasure chest.
Chu Jun got a sentence "Thank you for your patronage" displayed on the system light screen
“…”
The third time you open the treasure chest requires 4,000 points of reputation, and it is also the last chance this week.
Let me give you some good things! Dad kowtowed to you!
Perhaps I heard Chu Jun’s inner prayer.
The third bronze treasure chest shines brightly at the moment it opens!
【Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the game type: SLG - TDG (Tower Defense Type)!】
In a blink of an eye, Chu Jun's eyes widened.
He is suffering from fighting games being too niche and hardcore to be accepted by the public.
As a subcategory of strategic simulation games, tower defense games have been sought after by many players since their debut.
It doesn't eat the talent and operation of players like a fighting game.
The game mode is simple and playable, and has endless fun, which is a competition of intelligence and strategy.
For example, the once popular defense carrot in the country is one of the classic games of the tower defense type.
Compared with the talents and hardcore operations required by fighting games, tower defense games are obviously more likely to break the circle.
"Are you doing a defense carrot?" Chu Jun thought for a while and rejected this idea.
Not this game is not classic enough.
Instead, the production of each game requires a cycle.
Moreover, once this type of game is released, a large number of follow-up works will be poured in, and then the second and third games of the same type will be launched.
The benefits obtained are obviously not too high.
Therefore, Chu Jun needs to ensure that the first work selected by each game type is the classic among classics and the king of kings.
The defense of radish is obviously more young, and in this world where games are not popular enough.
First, we will launch games for children to play, and the sales volume will obviously not increase.
"Is there any tower defense that is more classic than defending carrots?" Chu Jun's thoughts were looking for it in the massive game memory bank of his brain at a rapid speed.
My mind had not yet found the results, but my eyes fell on the potted plants of plants with a layer of silver light on the windowsill.
"Plant vs. Zombies!!"
———
The next day.
Chu Jun, who had just arrived at the company, heard a burst of gossip.
"Did you hear that a small employee in our R&D department was promoted to the game director yesterday! The games are so popular!"
To be continued...
