Chapter 123 Oxygen Not Included Trailer: How Difficult Can a Horizontal 2D Game Be? (Subscribe)

The live broadcast ends for the day.

Tiangong General's popularity has been unparalleled for a while, and game designers have benefited a lot.

Yamashiro University and the Sichuan Provincial Game Association also became popular because of the seminar.

For Yamashiro University, this is definitely a piece of cake.

The seminar is over.

An Quan directly took Cai Gou to the hotel to attend the celebration banquet.

Not only did the teachers from the School of Game Design toast one by one, but even the principal happily clinked glasses with Cai Gou.

After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.

An Quan put down his wine glass and said:

"Cai Gou, on behalf of the school, I thank you!"

"The dean is serious. If you say that again, can I leave?" Cai Gou pretended to be unhappy:

"No matter when, I am a member of Shancheng University, and this is what I should do."

"Okay, then I won't nag you any more."

An Quan smiled and said:

"What are your plans next?"

"Me?" Cai Gou replied:

"To be honest, Dean, Taipingdao is currently developing a large-scale game."

"But the production cycle is long. No matter what, it won't be released until the second half of the year."

"In addition, the most important thing for Taipingdao Company at present is to prepare for the first game plus education special exhibition."

Speaking of this, Cai Gou looked at An Quan:

"If it's convenient for the school, I would like to hold the first game plus education exhibition at Shancheng University. What do you think?"

“Convenient, so convenient!”

An Quan was so excited when he heard this that he almost woke up from the wine and hurriedly agreed.

The game plus education special exhibition is an event that is many times higher in standard than a two-person seminar.

What's more, it is held in July, when schools are on summer vacation, and it will not affect teaching work.

"Wait a moment!"

An Quan went directly to the principal and informed him of the matter.

Upon hearing this, the principal immediately stood up and walked to Cai Gou:

"Xiao Cai, please remember that Shancheng University is your strongest support at all times."

"You can safely leave it to us to take charge of the venue for the game plus education special exhibition."

"Yeah!" Cai Gou nodded and said:

"As for the specific follow-up process arrangements, I will ask President Liu of the Shancheng Game Association to contact the school in a few days."

"no problem!"

After the matter was settled, An Quan said:

"Cai Gou, do you remember what I said about the school giving you a big gift?"

Cai Gou nodded doubtfully.

"Pop!"

An Quan clapped his hands lightly, and a teacher immediately took out an appointment letter from his briefcase and handed it to Cai Gou.

"Dean, what is this?"

Cai Gou took the appointment letter and said doubtfully.

An Quan smiled and said: "You are currently the president of Taipingdao Company, the president of Shancheng Game Association, and the twelfth director of Sichuan Game Association."

"After graduation, he made outstanding contributions to the school many times. Although he has been in the industry for a short time, his industry experience and even his achievements are outstanding."

"After discussions at the school meeting, it was unanimously decided to hire you as a visiting professor at the School of Game Design of Yamashiro University."

There is still a big difference between visiting professor and professor. Visiting professor is just an honorary title.

Visiting professors are scholars hired on a "customer basis" and have certain obligations to work for the hiring university. They usually come to the hiring university from time to time to give reports or give lectures.

Although the honor means more than the actual meaning, at Cai Gou's age, it is still an incredible achievement.

Cai Gou laughed and said:

"This gift is truly beyond my imagination."

"However, I will be busier this year..."

An Quan quickly expressed his position:

"There are no mandatory requirements for you. The time and number of reports or lectures are subject to your arrangement."

"Even if that doesn't work out, it's completely feasible to send other senior executives from Taipingdao Company to give a lecture on your behalf."

Hearing this, Cai Gou breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "That's good!"

That night.

The official account of Shancheng University released a scarf——

[Hire Mr. Cai Gou as a visiting professor at the School of Game Design]

Once the news was released, it completely exploded.

The Yellow Turbans bore the brunt and flooded the comments section.

"General, I have the advantage, why don't you raise the flag quickly?"

"General, everyone in the world is celebrating such a good thing. We think it's a great time to release a new game!"

“The Yellow Turban Army and the Reformists are here to congratulate you!”

"The Yellow Turban Army and the old guard came to congratulate!"

"No faction members have collectively congratulated the general on being crowned the great treasure!"

"Saibo Bodhisattva teaches good believers, congratulations to Bodhisattva for achieving electronic fruition!"

It is not unusual for Cai Gou to serve as a visiting professor.

But the messages in the comment area allow players to see what biological diversity is.

It is said that the fan group of Taiping Dao has the image of the Yellow Turban Army. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation.

The game industry in Shancheng, and even the game industry across the country, sent their blessings after hearing the news.

Being one step ahead may make others jealous.

If you are ten steps ahead, everyone will congratulate you.

After all, the two sides are obviously not on the same level.

Taiping Road Company, President's Office.

Cai Gou sat on the boss's chair and scanned the messages on the official WeChat backend. He found that as the game plus education exhibition was approaching, most players were asking about new game consultation.

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to promote the exhibition in advance."

Cai Gou edits the scarf, click publish——

[Thank you all for your support and love, and also thank you to Shancheng University for your recognition and love for me]

[Backend statistics found that most players want to know about games at game plus education special exhibitions]

[It’s better to choose the day than to hit it. Taipingdao will release a promotional video for the participating game "Hypoxia" today]

[(Click to view details link)]

"Ah - General Tiangong, I commend you!"

"Deprived of oxygen? This name is so addictive!"

"Can't it be put on the shelves now? Open a pre-sale, I have money!"

"Brothers, what should I do if the link cannot be opened? Wait online, it's very urgent!"

"Upstairs, don't panic, you can watch it on the Taipingdao Community APP!"

Once this scarf was released, countless players were completely excited after hearing the news!

Nowadays, who doesn’t know that games plus education are orthodox in Huangtian?

Whether it's Kerbal Space Program, City Skylines, or even an introductory manual to cryptography, these are games that players inevitably talk about when it comes to gaming and education.

Major game manufacturers that join the game plus education track are trying to cross the river with these games.

The programmatic purpose of the track is a combination of a specific game type theme and a higher-level major.

It has also opened the door to a new world for many game manufacturers.

now.

With the strong support of the Game Office of the Cultural and Entertainment Office.

It lasted two years.

The first game plus education special exhibition is coming at an important moment.

Everyone is looking forward to what surprises Huang Tian's orthodox Taipingdao Company will give players again.

perhaps……

This hypoxia promotional video will give you the answer!

This promotional video is the first time that Taipingdao Company has announced the information about the entries for the first gaming plus education special exhibition.

The players excitedly clicked on the link and started watching. Each and every one of them wanted to know the content of the game Hypoxia in advance through the promotional video.

Click on the promotional video, accompanied by soothing music.

The screen quickly slides down from the vast expanse of space until it freezes next to the portal of an empty cave underground.

Tsk!

The background music changes from soothing to exciting.

The portal flickered, and three clones filed out.

Then the screen kept switching, and the replicators began to transform the underground, with machines and facilities rising from the ground.

After each screen flashes, not only the number of various underground facilities and machines increases dramatically, but also the scale and type become more and more complex.

The screen zoomed in, and two clones were in a room.

The boy tied the sizzling wire into a bow and proudly showed it off to the girl, but the girl was speechless and rolled her eyes.

Then the screen switched rapidly, showing the specific functions and scenes of several rooms. The hypoxia promotional video, which lasted only 33 seconds, came to an abrupt end.

Player: "..."

no!

Who is a good person who makes this promotional video?

Other major manufacturers are eager to directly tell players the gameplay and selling points.

Are you afraid that players will figure out the gameplay and selling points of hypoxia?

The 33-second promotional video contains a lot of information, but after watching it, it seems like I didn’t watch it.

This wonderful feeling made players dumbfounded and left messages in the comment area.

"Only 33 seconds? Who is this promotional video enough for? Another 30 seconds, 30 seconds for each person!"

"That's it? It's gone?"

"Hahahaha - grass (a plant)"

"General, if you just give the soldiers this small reward, it will be very difficult for the soldiers!"

"Pre-sale directly! My wallet is ready!"

"By the way, what kind of higher-level disciplines are combined with this subject matter? Why can't I understand it?"

Fortunately, it only takes half an hour.

Thunderbolt, thunderbolt, a game reviewer released a video and made speculations about this hypoxic promotional video.

A girl with twin ponytails who looked youthful and energetic said:

"Hello everyone, I am Satellite, and I am currently a member of the reformist Knights of the Round Table."

"Although the old thief said that Hypoxia is an entry for a game and education special exhibition, and the genre is hard-core, but who says the old school has no one? We reformists will analyze it for everyone in advance!"

Compared with the conservative thirty-six presidents’ internal official title setting.

The Reformists were divided into the Knights of the Round Table with corresponding official titles and positions.

The satellite is one of the reformist Knights of the Round Table.

In the next period of time, the satellite analyzed the hypoxic promotional video frame by frame, and finally gave its own conclusion:

"Taipingdao and the old thieves will not miss the target, so the space scene at the beginning must have deep meaning, and the scene jumps in the middle to show the continuous updating and iteration of the machine, as well as the division of labor and cooperation of the characters."

"Combining the above content with the presentation form of the promotional video, I am more inclined to think that Hypoxia is a space management simulation and construction theme. Looking at the screen presentation, it should be a horizontal version of a 2D layout game."

"As for the profession of combining hypoxia, the current promotional video does not have a clear direction. There are many professions that can be guessed now..."

The reformist official WeChat forwarded the scarf.

There is currently no faction, but the Cyber ​​Bodhisattva Sect also followed closely and forwarded it.

The old school takes a look——

Everything he said was my word!

But there is no way, who tells people to hurry up?

Considering the overall situation, I can only forward the scarf.

With the analysis of professionals, the comment area is even more lively now.

"Cricket is a side-scrolling 2D game, how can it be any more difficult? Don't panic!"

"Space management simulation construction? I think what Satellite Knight said makes sense, thumbs up!"

"Horizontal 2D really hits my XP, I'll buy it this time!"

"Wait, space management simulation theme? Could it be that hypoxia is combined with aerospace majors?"

"Ahhh! I'm looking forward to it!"

They say curiosity kills the cat.

Players who have watched the trailer are in this state at the moment.

The pre-heating of the game plus education special exhibition has ushered in a good start.

In addition, the first game plus education special exhibition is a big event. It coincides with the summer vacation. Shancheng is also a famous tourist city. Many players have already started to plan their travels.

Many factions within the Yellow Turban Army directly announced the first offline fan meeting.

The general code at that time is——[The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established]

After matching the code, each faction has its own separate contact code.

The major factions are discussing heatedly, and the most interesting thing is...

The fan meeting, Cai Gou, the main person, is unaware of it.

I have to say, it has to be you!

In the next period of time

As the president of the Shancheng Game Association, Cai Gou was busy attending various meetings.

He had to urge game manufacturers who received official support not to let down their guard, and he also had to represent the game association in participating in the cultural and tourism conference held by the Shancheng government.

After tasting the sweetness of the Shengxian Conference last year, the Shancheng government directly invested heavily this year to create a new feature of summer tourism in Shancheng with the game plus education special exhibition as the core.

The airport, high-speed rail station, and railway station all have exclusive bus routes directly to Shancheng University.

In terms of catering, transportation, and accommodation, the Shancheng government specially held a special meeting.

It is expressly prohibited for all companies to increase prices significantly, and they will definitely receive and serve this group of passengers well.

Shancheng University also took the opportunity to open up to the outside world, attract tourists, and demonstrate the style of a higher education institution.

Every link strives for perfection.

Official agencies at all levels have also begun to spare no effort in publicity.

[The first game plus education special exhibition will be held at Shancheng University]

[Taipingdao announced the participating game "Oxygen Not Included"]

The eyes of the national game industry are all focused on Shancheng and Cai Gou.

July 2.

The game plus education special exhibition officially kicked off.

Shancheng University is open to the public all day, and a large number of people are wandering outside the exhibition hall.

More than 50 authoritative media in the game industry across the country are waiting like hyenas.

Major live broadcast platforms entered the venue one step ahead to prepare for the official live broadcast opening ceremony and other matters.
