Chapter 649 649. New hope for domestic stand-alone machines
Chen Qiaoen lay on the new bed, looking at the clean and tidy little house, still feeling like she was dreaming.
Before coming to the mainland, she had already prepared for hardship, and even imagined her hard days of eating instant noodles every day in a dark and damp basement. She even thought about her future success, and she must talk about this hard time in an interview or after winning an award ceremony to prove how difficult her success was.
But until now, Chen Qiaoen only felt that she really thought too much at the beginning.
Except for staying in a small hotel on the first day, Chen Qiaoen didn't expect that she would have her own "home" in Kyoto the next day.
Unlike the basement she imagined, this house is not big, but it is far beyond Chen Qiaoen's imagination.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the main house let the room have enough light, and the decoration is also very reasonable. A single bed, unopened bedding is placed on the side, and there are two single sofas not far from the bed, so that friends will not have no place to sit when they come.
The sofa is also equipped with a small coffee table. Chen Qiaoen thinks that he can eat here in the future. There is a small TV opposite. It must be very comfortable to eat and watch TV at the same time.
The computer desk is placed in a corner of the hut where the sun does not shine much. The computer and other things have been installed. This computer desk is integrated with the bookcase. The computer is placed on the desktop, and a small bookshelf is connected to the desk. Chen Qiaoen thinks that books and some decorations can be placed here, but these are not available now. Chen Qiaoen decided to go shopping for them soon.
In addition, there is an air conditioner installed in the house, with a power of only 1 horsepower, which is just enough for cooling such a room. Although the summer in Kyoto is not as hot as in the south, the hot and dry weather is still not so easy to bear. This air conditioner can at least make Chen Qiaoen feel comfortable and comfortable when he is at home.
The kitchen equipment is very simple, a single gas stove plus an induction cooker, whichever one you can use, fully considering the needs of some kitchen novices, such as Chen Qiaoen himself.
In addition to these, there is also a small sink and a small counter for chopping boards. There is almost no gap between these devices. The kitchen is so small that two people can't move their feet.
The toilet is similar to the kitchen, and it is also very small. There is a toilet and a washbasin, and then there is a small bathroom separated by a plastic curtain.
Chen Qiaoen even went in to try it out and felt that it was really small. Fortunately, there was no problem turning around.
Obviously, this is a single-person hut, but it makes Chen Qiaoen feel particularly satisfied and at ease, just like a stray animal suddenly found a small nest where it can live safely. Even if the nest is small, it is still warm. What's more, although this nest is small, it has everything and can be lived in comfortably.
That night, Chen Qiaoen fell asleep before ten o'clock, and then slept until dawn.
Just as Chen Qiaoen was preparing to welcome the beginning of a new day, for some people, this day was also a brand new beginning.
Zhang Yijun has not slept since yesterday and this morning, because from 0:00 this morning, the server of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has officially started operation. This time, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has chosen the operation mode of full account networking to ensure that the game will not be cracked to the greatest extent.
The first 10,000 customers who support reservations can already enter the game with the special activation code they reserved. The rest of the players can also download the game first, and then wait until 12 noon that day, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" will be fully open for activation.
This is Zhang Yijun's first work after leaving Huanyu Game Company, and also his first work produced by Fanxing Game Company.
Whether it is to prove to the old company how big a mistake it is to give up on themselves, it is also to repay Nie Wei's strong support.
It can be said that this work is the most pleasant work experience since Zhang Yijun entered this industry. Although there were disagreements and many problems in the middle, Zhang Yijun even complained about Nie Wei's "teasing" character in the game countless times, but after the game was truly completed, looking back on the process of the past two years, it is really a rare manager.
Although Nie Wei is particularly serious about the quality of the game, that is the real good of the game. Without Nie Wei's serious spirit, there would be no "Gu Jian Qi Tan" which has not found a major BUG after three rounds of testing.
The company's large amount of financial support also allowed Zhang Yijun to make a game with the largest content since he started working. Many ideas that he didn't dare to think of were added to the game at this moment, including the long-awaited dubbing of important characters throughout the whole process, the industry's top arrangement and music, and the all-star publicity lineup that made him excited for several days.
The final product has been optimized many times, and its size is as large as 20G, which is more than double the game capacity originally expected. Under the condition of the same game engine, the extra content is all real content.
The size of this game also shocked a lot of friends who downloaded the game.
"A 20G game, it won't be filled with materials."
"It's hard to say, didn't the publicity say that this new game has a lot of content?"
"Can you believe the promotion of domestic games? With a few more branches, you can say that you have made innovations. Moreover, these domestic game developers are the best at cheating money. Of course, if there is new content, it must be sold as DLC to make money."
"That's nonsense upstairs. It's clear that the publishing company of this game is Fanxing Games. Do you know who the boss behind it is? It's Nie Wei. When has any game produced by Nie Wei ever disappointed us players? And the previous "Martial Arts Group" "Legend of Heroes" is also produced by Fanxing Games. Check out the game website to see what the rating of this game is before you complain."
"What's wrong with Nie Wei? Do you think the games made by Nie Wei are guaranteed? You don't know what's going on with the tainted milk powder now."
While the game was being downloaded, fans of the game were also quarreling, especially because Nie Wei had mobilized celebrities to promote the game, which also caused many celebrity fans who were not this game to intervene.
Game fans are arguing about whether the game is so big and whether the content is real or imaginary. Fans are even simpler. Anyway, I don’t care whether you say the game is good or bad, but you can’t say that about our idol.
There are also user comments on various game websites that are also very interesting.
Basically, a certain person complained about the poor quality of domestic games. Many users said they had no expectations for this game, but in fact, they were all downloading with Thunder on at this time. Otherwise, the download rate of the website would be more than 100,000. Where did it come from.
There is also a certain starry sky where many console enthusiasts will pop up, saying that no matter how popular domestic games are, they are not as fun as console games.
There is also a certain aunt, and there are a group of people below who are looking for a solution.
These comments indicate that Zhang Yijun is mentally exhausted. The quality of players in the domestic stand-alone game market is really very different. It can be described as a difference between clouds and mud.
Some players who support genuine games are as protective as a mother and are very tolerant of domestic games. In their view, if even they give up domestic games, then domestic stand-alone games will really be completely destroyed.
For Zhang Yijun and others, this group of players is really their bread and butter, the benefactor who allows them to survive, and is also the motivation for them to continue the game.
Zou Mingming is such a player.
In his opinion, domestic games have also been glorious in the past. Not to mention the era of Fairy Sword and Jin Qun, but at the beginning of the 20th century, countless good works emerged, such as the Peerless Twins series, the Fantasy Three Kingdoms series, and the previous ones. There are many, many more examples of the Legend of Martial Arts that became a big hit because of its reset.
At that time, game newspapers would set aside at least one-third of each issue to introduce new games, and even use a long article to publish a single-player guide. At that time, I wanted to make my game guide have those sales. Good game newspapers, except for those well-known games, the rest even have to spend money to get in the queue.
At that time, Zou Mingming would steal some steamed buns and bread at home every Tuesday, because he only had five yuan to go to school every day, including three yuan for food and two yuan for pocket money, but one serving A newspaper for children's games costs three yuan and fifty cents. Buying a newspaper means that not only does he have to use up his pocket money for the day, but he also has to put in half of his food expenses.
But just like that, the day when he could get the newspaper was also the day that Zou Mingming looked forward to the most.
And that piece of newspaper will be spread to all Zou Mingming's friends that day, becoming a topic of discussion for several days.
But I don’t know since when, the number of domestic games produced has become less and less, and the content of domestic stand-alone games in game newspapers has become less and less. From the beginning, the guide section that could only be accessed by queuing up can only be seen once a month. Stand-alone game guides, even this section was canceled in the end. There were less and less content in newspapers about stand-alone games, especially domestic stand-alone games. When Zou Mingming bought a newspaper for the last time, this article had once placed his most trust in it. There is no more information about stand-alone games in the newspapers of Good Game Time.
It was also from that time on that Zou Mingming never subscribed to that newspaper again.
Although domestic games are in decline, Zou Mingming's love for domestic games is no less, and even more crazy.
Because in his opinion, only domestic games can produce unique types of domestic games that suit the tastes of Chinese people, such as Xianxia and martial arts. These are game types that foreign game manufacturers have never considered.
So over the years, Zou Mingming will fully support these domestic stand-alone games with unique Chinese characteristics. Although the quality of the games is good or bad, we can see that there are still people making them. For Zou Mingming, that is a hope.
Until last year, the reset version of "Legend of Martial Arts" was released, which really made Zou Mingming see the feeling of his hope coming true. Although it was a reset of an old game, it added countless contents and could be regarded as a game. As for new games, the quality is rare among Chinese stand-alone games in recent years.
With the hot sales of the reset version of "Legend of Martial Arts", Fanxing Game Company also came into Zou Mingming's sight.
He began to pay attention to this newly established stand-alone game company, and learned that the boss behind the company was actually Nie Wei. Although Zou was obviously a game fan and not a star-chaser, he also knew about Nie Wei's name. He was a former drug addict. Milk powder, as well as the "League of Legends" in which he now plays two games every night, are all planned by this big star.
When Zou Mingming got the news, he was really surprised. After all, it is generally acknowledged that stand-alone games are not as profitable as online games. He really couldn't figure out why Nie Wei gave up online games and switched to stand-alone games. In the end, Zou Mingming convinced himself with an idea, that is, Nie Wei, like her, is a person who has a strong love for domestic games.
What Zou Mingming didn't expect was that he really guessed it right.
And this idea also made Zou Mingming's favor for Nie Wei increase sharply. After that, he would buy all the works launched by Fanxing Game Company. And buying all the way also made Zou Mingming more and more surprised. Although "Wulin Qunxia Zhuan" was released, the other few games were small works, but they were full of creativity, anyway, Zou Mingming was very satisfied.
Of course, if it was just small works, Zou Mingming would also have opinions. After all, he is a fan of RPG games and likes games with rich content. Although small works are fun, they can't give him the pleasure of enjoying them to the fullest.
Fortunately, Fanxing Game Company did not disappoint Zou Mingming's expectations and soon announced the production of "Gu Jian Qi Tan". This new plan led by the former producer of Xianjian has become Zou Mingming's most anticipated game in the past few months.
After a long time, he can finally play this game at night. Zou Mingming looked at the computer screen, which has been installed 99% of "Gu Jian Qi Tan". His hands were shaking with excitement.
Finally, the "Finish" button he had been looking forward to finally appeared. He couldn't wait to click it, and then immediately cut the screen to the desktop, and turned to the long-awaited icon.
Accompanied by a burst of ancient music, the game login was opened. Zou Mingming ignored some of the game news recommended on the login, but directly took out the account number and password he had registered long ago and entered the login. This set of procedures was also very smooth. Based on the powerful configuration of Zou Mingming's computer, he didn't have to wait for a long time. With the screen blacking out for a moment, when it lit up again, the game "Gu Jian Qi Tan" finally started.
According to Zou Mingming's personality, he was too lazy to look at the manufacturer, publisher's logo, or even the CG animation in the game's prelude, but this time when he was about to press ESC to skip, he found that the button was actually "out of order".
Thank you for the reward support of 0773, one of the few times in life that I am tired.
