Chapter 117 Who doesn’t know how to draw cakes?
"Hello! Hello friends, I am Xiaoye, my Chinese son-in-law who has lived in China for 5 years and loves to eat dumplings!"
"As you all know, I recently returned to China to visit my relatives. The Neon Video Game Exhibition opens today, so I will show you which Chinese games will appear at this expo!"
Activities such as game expos and comic expos may lack media reporters, but they cannot lack those self-media bloggers who hold mobile phone stands and gimbals and take pictures everywhere.
The same goes for Ono.
Although he is a neon person, he married a Chinese wife, relied on the traffic of Chinese fans, and followed the Rav route.
Returning to visit relatives coincided with the opening of the video game exhibition. Ono knew what the audience wanted to see, so he gritted his teeth and bought a ticket, intending to go inside and take pictures of the Huaguo Game Company's exhibition area, especially Mijia.
joke!
Mijia’s traffic is so huge, how could he not know that he is a big fan of self-media? If you go back to the exhibition area and shoot a few videos, and flatter the audience a few words, won't the number of video views increase dramatically?
He understands the audience so well.
Although he honestly despises Hua Guo Game Company and thinks that Neon Game Company is more powerful, it doesn't hurt to give him a few compliments just for the sake of success.
It's a common practice for video bloggers like him to do one thing in front of others and another behind the scenes.
"OK! Finally came in..."
"Wow! Look, there are many people queuing up front. It should be a great game. Let's go over and check it out!"
In fact, as soon as Ono entered the venue, he saw the Perfect Games booth in the distance, and there were not many people queuing up.
But he knows the art of language too well.
Go back and edit the video, cut out the scenes of crowds at other booths, and then take some footage of unpopular exhibition areas. Wouldn't this highlight how popular domestic games are?
"Demon slayer! Wow!"
"My favorite demon slayer, I didn't expect a new game to be released. No wonder so many people gathered outside the exhibition area waiting to try it out..."
"Many viewers said that we foreigners don't like to play this kind of Chinese fairy-tale game, NO! We like it very much, otherwise how could there be so many neon people lining up?"
Ono took a video of the queue in the trial area, but what he didn't say was that many of the people in the queue were international students and Chinese media reporters, not many Neon people.
But that's not important.
Anyway, they look similar, and if he says these are neon people, the audience won’t find it a problem, and they may even feel proud.
Hehe, domestic games are awesome, but foreigners just don’t know how to play this kind of browser-based money-making game with such enthusiasm...
"Too many people!"
Ono pretended to be frustrated and said: "With so many people queuing up, I guess I have to wait until the afternoon to play this game. It's really a pity."
"Time is limited, so I won't queue up. I'll take you to see the exhibition areas of other domestic games first."
Ono is very skillful.
Before taking pictures, he would observe the flow of people in these exhibition areas. If there were too few people in a domestic game exhibition area, he would pretend he had not seen them as soon as the camera was turned off.
Soon he reached Area 03.
Here, a large number of domestic game developers gather. Among them are Pig Factory, Tianba Studio and Mijia, which the audience is most concerned about!
The hard dishes have to be served last...
Ono, who is well versed in this, decided to go to the Pig Factory booth first, then to the Tianba Studio booth, and finally to the Mijia booth to show off his licking skills.
"There are so many people here in the pig factory!"
"But the game of Pig Factory is just like Goose Factory. It's not very fun, and it's not my type either..."
Ono has also heard about the reputation of the Zhugeese family on the Internet, so he naturally knows what to say to make the audience more comfortable.
These two families can’t boast!
In fact, when he passed by the Goose Factory exhibition area before, there were a few games that he was quite interested in, but he had no choice but to know that the audience didn't like them, so he simply mentioned them and skipped them.
The same goes for pig factories.
To criticize these two companies is to stand on the opposite side of his own audience. Ono still wants to make money by making videos and receiving advertisements, so how can he offend his audience?
Just a few words is enough.
After a few words of disparagement overtly and covertly, Xiaoye left the pig factory exhibition area and came to the Tianba Studio exhibition area separated by a wall.
"God's Grace Continent?"
"I know this game is very popular in Neon, but the most popular one is in the animation industry! Many new shows in Neon are produced using this game..."
Tianba Studio is not like Pig Goose, which has black fans all over the Internet and cannot praise it, nor is it like Mijia, which cannot be criticized.
Therefore, when Ono made comments, his stance was relatively fair and objective, neither deliberately praising nor belittling.
"God's Grace Continent" is indeed popular!
To put it bluntly, nearly 35% of the sales of this game on PC/console platforms come from the Neon Market.
What’s even more outrageous is that Neon has many well-known animation producers, supervisors and scripters who have publicly recommended the game “God’s Grace Continent” on social platforms.
To say that this is Neon’s most popular Chinese game may be a bit of a stretch. After all, Pig Factory’s “Wild Action” is also outrageous.
But if this is the Chinese game with Neon’s greatest influence, then it’s a sure bet!
After all, Ono is a Neon person. Although he lives in China, he often pays attention to the news and news in his hometown.
There was one piece of news that he still remembered vividly.
"God's Grace Continent" swept the animation industry, causing about 1,800 animation companies and studios to dissolve and go bankrupt, directly or indirectly causing more than 10,000 people to lose their jobs.
scary!
Neon is a big animation country, and there are many people engaged in the animation industry. It seems that there are not more than 10,000 people.
But this is only a short-term impact. If you think about it from a long-term perspective, as long as "God's Grace Continent" is still there, more people will lose their jobs and be forced to change careers or become unemployed.
Tianba Studio has committed a heinous crime!
Thinking of this, Ono suddenly lost all good impressions of Tianba Studio. After all, the animation industry is Neon's pillar industry.
A Chinese game company came to disrupt the situation and caused so many people to lose their jobs. Isn't this worthy of resentment?
"...Although everyone says it's fun, I don't think "God's Grace Continent" is fun, and the neon people around me also think this game is boring."
Now that he has taken a stand, Ono's words are no longer as polite as before.
He pretended to be objective and critically commented on the shortcomings and shortcomings of "God's Grace Continent", and said that as a game developed by a small workshop, it is still not as good as a masterpiece like "Dragon Quest".
"Where did this person come from?"
Chen Ba saw someone taking photos with his mobile phone outside the exhibition area and saying a lot of bad things about "God's Grace Continent".
This puzzled him.
This man looks like a foreigner, how come he speaks fluent Mandarin? And it's all good, why do you want to embarrass "God's Grace Continent"?
"Then I drive him away?"
Xiao Lu was eager to give it a try: "This guy said a few human words at first, but soon his true colors were revealed and he started to say nasty things to us."
"Forget it, don't make matters worse."
Chen Ba stopped Xiao Lu. He knew that there were many media reporters present today, and it would be rude to chase people away. After being exposed, it would attract public criticism.
Just say whatever you like.
If someone else has his mouth, Chen Ba can't shut him up. The most important thing today is to accept the vast number of tourists and give them a try.
There is a big screen in the venue.
In front of the big screen are rows of seats. Anyone with new technologies or games to release can apply to the organizer to use this big screen and venue.
The person in charge of the speech now is a person in charge of Sony's interactive entertainment department. He is introducing Sony's many exclusive games on the PS5 platform to the players.
Next is Chen Ba.
There is no need for a speech script. This kind of speech usually involves speaking whatever comes to mind, and he has no habit of writing a speech in advance.
What's more, it's not difficult to draw a cake...
When Chen Ba took a sip of water, communicated with the staff, and was about to go on stage to start his speech, Ono also came to the Mijia exhibition area.
"Damn it, the new character is so handsome!"
"The material of this dress should be ancient Chinese silk, right? Wow! It looks so textured..."
Ono's bragging made the Mijia staff nearby stunned.
If it’s a language he doesn’t understand, forget it. The key is that Ono speaks Mandarin. If other tourists don’t understand, why don’t they still understand?
"Ahem!"
Just as several staff members were embarrassed, a few coughs came from not far away: "Thank you to the organizer for giving me this opportunity and letting me introduce to you the new game that Tianba Studio will release next year..."
Tianba Studio?
Visitors in the venue immediately gathered around when they heard the name "TianBaGames".
Visitors to this video game show, even if they have never played any of Tianba Studio's games, have heard of their name, "God's Grace Continent" or the GAL League.
All the major exhibition areas were empty immediately.
Ono didn't want to go at first, and wanted to chat more awkwardly, but everyone else went, and he seemed out of place if he didn't go.
And most importantly, he was also curious about what big news Tianba Studio would announce.
As the crowd gathered around, Chen Ba continued his speech.
English speech.
He didn't speak Japanese, and not many people could understand Chinese, so he simply spoke in mainstream international English.
"...In the past two years, Tianba Studio has been working hard to develop more fun and interesting games."
"Here, I am happy to tell you that we will launch an open world OL game next spring or summer!"
"On-line!"
Emphasizing the word, Chen Ba then joked: "I know you must be thinking, oh Shete! Why isn't it an Office Lady game?"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Although this OL is not the same as the OL you think of, I promise, this is definitely a cool game!"
After the laughter subsided, Chen Ba said with a smile: "Opening the world is a very good idea, but it is not today's theme..."
Where did the open world come from?
Hearing Brother Ba talking nonsense on the stage, Yang Dong and Xiao Lu looked at each other in the audience, with question marks on their foreheads.
Wasn't what they were talking about before a love-themed simulation game? Why did Brother Ba create an open world while talking?
"I see!"
Zhong Shengwei suddenly realized: "The pig factory next door and Mijia are both promoting an open world. Brother Ba must have come up with the idea of an open world just to join the group."
"That makes sense!"
"This is indeed something that Brother Ba can do..."
Xiao Lu and Yang Dong nodded in unison.
You have an open world, and he also has an open world? no! I also need to create an open world! No one is allowed to leave today unless the word "open world" is ruined!
Brother Ba is indeed like this.
All I can say is that the organizers are to blame. Why did they arrange the Pig Factory and Mijia exhibition areas next to Tianba Studio?
This is just great!
Brother Ba has learned a new noun. No matter what the word represents, he will draw the pie first and then talk about it.
"Open world? Cool!"
The foreigners didn't expect it at all. Chen Ba on the stage was just making pictures. They thought this game really existed and started to look forward to it.
"The new game will be an urban setting."
"The player will play the role of a college student who has just graduated and entered the society. He will apply for a suitable job, work hard to increase his income, and become a CEO to marry Bai Fumei..."
The big screen behind Chen Ba was constantly switching PPT pictures.
These pictures are all scene pictures that he specially hired people to refine in order to participate in this video game show.
It is said to be an online game, but it is actually a "pseudo-online game".
The so-called pseudo-online refers to the online function, but it is relatively useless. The experience is more of a stand-alone gameplay, a bit like the online play between O God and Railway.
The game content is very simple.
In a relatively unfamiliar city, I strive to live a better life, meet confidantes with different personalities, and reach the peak of my life.
The male character is the confidante, and the female character is the confidante.
It is essentially a Galgame-like game, but with many new elements added. At the same time, it integrates the NPC generation mechanism of "God's Grace Continent" and many gameplay methods of "The Survival Simulator".
The reason why it is designed as an online OL game is to prevent players from abusing modifiers and causing the game difficulty to be too low.
And the connection is not just for decoration.
The initial NPC of "God's Grace Continent" is the same for all players. Only later in the game will the special NPC "do you have it or not" appear.
But in this new game, each player encounters different NPCs.
This requires a server to save records and data for each player individually. Moreover, the existence of online connections also encourages everyone to explore the "world" of friends.
Every world is different.
Exploration, cultivation and simulation are the three core gameplays of the game. Among them, development is character development. Can a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan be the same as a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan?
The simulation is a love simulation.
As a Galgame-like game, interactive strategies with various characters are naturally a core gameplay of the game.
Because it was a painting, at most a new folder was created, but nothing else. Chen Ba did not dare to talk further for fear of revealing his secret.
The main reason is that if he explains it in depth, he himself will not know how to realize this cake.
That’s it for today’s pie!
After feeling that the gimmick was enough, Chen Ba did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly handed over the main stage to the next guest speaker and returned to the exhibition area of Tianba Studio with a smile.
so close!
I don’t know who the reporter is, but he is so ignorant. He knows that he is trying to draw a picture, but he still wants to find out more details.
Where can I find more details?
As a reporter, you are so thirsty for knowledge, why don't you go and find out about Rockstar's new folder?
