Chapter 310: Hot exhibition site
Chapter 310: The hot exhibition scene
June 6th.
Magic City International Game Art Festival Expo.
It has entered summer and the weather has become very hot. Fortunately, God has been kind to me these two days, and it happened to be a bit cloudy, so it was pretty cool.
In the large square outside the exhibition, various cosplayers, photographers with guns and cannons, and crowds of onlookers can be seen everywhere.
Although this is a game exhibition, there are also many cosplayers coming.
Some of them came to participate voluntarily, and some were invited by game manufacturers to increase the popularity.
Officials obviously also intend to expand the audience scope of this game exhibition. The entire exhibition is divided into eight exhibition areas, from exhibition area A to exhibition area H.
Among them, exhibition areas A to D are exclusive exhibition areas for game manufacturers, corresponding to the four sections of independent games, large-scale stand-alone games, online games and overseas games respectively.
The exhibition areas from E to H are exhibition areas for non-game manufacturers, corresponding to the four sections of game hardware manufacturers, game derivative peripherals (figures, animations, etc.), coser, and UP owners.
This event can be said to be quite popular, and the tickets were sold out within minutes of the first round of ticketing.
The exhibition area of Nitiantian Games is located on the edge of exhibition area B, echoing with exhibition area C across an aisle.
Obviously, the officials are also a little confused as to which exhibition area the game Nitiantian should be divided into.
Logically speaking, most of Nitian’s current successful games are single-player games, so there is nothing wrong with them being placed in the B exhibition area.
But considering that the recent "Shadow World" by Nitiantian can be said to have recast the glory of mmorpg and is quite successful, it seems reasonable to classify it into the online game exhibition area.
So the official made a compromise and placed it in the middle of the stand-alone game and online game exhibition area, so that players can experience it freely when they come here.
However, this location arrangement also caused some slight embarrassment on the scene.
Shengjing Group’s gaming department’s booth is located in Exhibition Area C, across the aisle from Nitiantian!
Because the current main products of Shengjing Group’s game department are various online games.
The new version of "Protoss World" "Ascension Plan" launched some time ago, although there was a big problem during the internal testing process, because the removal of the two BDs of Starlight Milk and Dark Chain caused a large number of players to lose, and even in turn helped " "Shadow World" has attracted a lot of attention, but in general, there are still some players who stay and will not die suddenly.
After all, in MMORPG games, players still have a strong inertia.
Especially the old players of "World of Protoss", they are almost in a state of trembling. It can be said that Shengjing has abused me thousands of times, and I treat Shengjing like my first love.
They had long been accustomed to Shengjing Group's "decapitated balancing method" in the original official server, killing whoever was stronger, so after switching to the test server of the Ascension Project, even if BD was cut, they persisted.
After the massive loss of players, Shengjing Group also panicked and quickly took a series of measures.
For example, we launched the official server version of the "Spirit Ascension Project" as soon as possible, gave players some more painless compensation, and then continued to increase advertising efforts online.
After some tossing and hard work, the situation in "Protoss World" has finally stabilized.
Although looking at the popularity of "Shadow World" at this time, "Protoss World" has been far behind, but after such a huge change, it is not easy for "Protoss World" to survive, and Shengjing Group also Can't be too demanding.
At this exhibition, Shengjing Group originally wanted to promote several of its popular online games, but unexpectedly, it became next door to Nitiantian Games. This is a little painful.
Ji Heng felt a little nervous when he saw the passing players queuing up to try it out at Nitiantian.
Of course, since there were too many players at the exhibition, the trial area of Shengjing Group was also full of people, and no computer was available. At first glance, the heat seems pretty good.
But if you look closely, you will find that there are many players who are completely in the Cao camp and in the Han Dynasty. While playing "World of Protoss", they secretly look at Nitiantian's booth.
Obviously, "World of Protoss" is more like a substitute for "World of Shadows".
This made Ji Heng even more nervous. He tried hard to adjust his emotions so that his mentality would not be too unbalanced.
…
At this time, the staff at Nitiantian’s booth were busy.
According to Zhao Fan's arrangement, all players passing by, regardless of whether they have queued up to experience the game Against Heaven, will be given a bottle of water. Players who queued up to experience the game were given free desserts and ice cream on site.
These small gifts don’t cost much, but not many manufacturers prepare them, and they can greatly increase the goodwill of players.
There are a total of 60 devices on site, and different games have been installed according to Zhao Fan’s previous arrangements.
Among them, 25 devices are used for the trial play of the "Endless Fantasy Legend" demo, 25 devices are used for the trial play of the new level 70 version demo of "Shadow World", and 10 devices are used for the trial play of other games of Nitian. Such as "Ascension" and so on.
Of course, next to these 10 devices, there are also peripheral devices such as micro-handle steering wheels for players to experience.
There is no doubt that the 70 versions of "Endless Fantasy Legend" and "Shadow World" are the most popular among players.
After all, these two are still demos, and I have never experienced them before!
The queuing area at the booth was already full of people, and the big sign at the entrance clearly stated that it would take at least an hour and a half to queue up at this time, but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the players, and instead continued. lined up.
As for the players who finally got in line, they started the trial game happily.
In the corner rest area of the booth, Gu Fan was drinking coffee while waiting for the event to start.
Lilith is not here of course, because it is daytime.
The exhibition time is from 9 am to 9:30 pm. At some key times, the organizers also arranged different activities.
For example, there is a large screen in the main exhibition area in the center. Every one or two hours, a promotional CG for a new game will be played and the audience will be guided to the corresponding exhibition area to participate in specific activities.
In addition, some programs such as exclusive interviews or dialogues will also be arranged on site.
The interview subjects include game producers, UP owners, and original authors who adapted the game, etc.
Even the official arranged exclusive interviews with Gu Fan and Lilith.
It's just that because of Lilith's "time reasons", this interview can only be arranged at 7 o'clock in the evening. After all, after 6 o'clock every day, Mr. Li can finish the day's work and come to the exhibition site.
