Chapter 296 SVE: Add Infinite Fun to Your Stardew Valley (Subscribe)
The next day, dark clouds swept across the sky.
Thunder roared, and countless bean-sized raindrops rolled down from the dark clouds and hit the ground fiercely.
It was clearly morning, but because of this sudden rainstorm, it was like night, with a kind of dark cloud pressing down on the city and trying to destroy it.
Wutong Game Company launched "Farming Lord" on the Steam platform at 9 am.
Since Cai Gou released Stardew Valley at the beginning of the year, the game circle has set off a wave of farming management, making this already competitive track even more popular.
Wutong Game Company, as an old-fashioned deep cultivator in the farming management track, "Farming Lord" was just launched, and naturally a large number of players bought it.
The game sold more than 8,000 in one hour after it was released.
The game sold more than 15,000 in two hours after it was released.
The game sold more than 27,000 in three hours after it was released.
Although this result is not as good as 3A production, the problem is that "Farming Lord" is a low-cost game. If it is not compared with Stardew Valley, this result is already very good.
Wutong Game Company.
Jiang Zhihao looked at the various data of "Farming Lord" on the computer background and smiled happily.
"According to the current sales curve, Wutong Game Company can definitely have a good start this year."
"Cai Gou, don't you always say to learn from your competitors? In fact, aren't you a competitor in my eyes? I will give you a classic quote - competitors are shark arms!"
"You play open cards, and you only have one Ark: Survival Evolved in your hand, but it is a fool's dream to suppress games on different tracks."
"I will really be the first to stand out. I want to see what effect your ban can have? I want you to say this and swallow it."
Just as Jiang Zhihao was immersed in the fantasy of the future Just as he was thinking, the secretary in a black silk three-piece suit came running up to him and whispered, "Mr. Jiang, you told me to keep an eye on Taipingdao before. They are indeed making some moves."
"Oh? Don't tell me, let me guess!" Jiang Zhihao raised a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Did Taipingdao release Ark: Survival Evolved?"
The secretary shook his head awkwardly: "Uh... no."
"Ah?" Jiang Zhihao pondered, "Is it a version update of Stardew Valley?"
"No..."
"It's not like they released a new game, right?"
Jiang Zhihao thought he was in control of the overall situation, but after several questions and answers, he got no answers, and his face became darker and darker.
Seeing this, the secretary no longer dared to play the game of guessing with Mr. Jiang, and quickly gave the answer: "The official Weibo of Taipingdao released a Weibo, which is the live broadcast notice of the DLC conference of Stardew Valley."
"Ah?"
Jiang Zhihao was confused.
Stardew Valley DLC?
And still holding a conference?
What does this mean?
Look down on my Wutong Game Company?
Taipingdao has released Stardew Valley, a game released by Fengqi Games.
But when it comes to me, Taipingdao releases the DLC of Stardew Valley to compete?
No...
Who are you looking down on?
Jiang Zhihao became more and more annoyed as he thought about it. He picked up his phone from his desk and clicked on Taipingdao's official Weibo to check.
[Taipingdao——]
[Boss Yin and the "Game Boiling Point" channel gave a very fair evaluation of Stardew Valley. Stardew Valley is a farming game. ]
[Even if there is a Cyber Grandpa, as players jokingly call him, who gives the ratings, everyone can still experience their own Stardew Valley life according to their own ideas. ]
[Grandpa will still love you, and mom will remember to send you birthday cakes. Even if your crops wither, your grandma will still love you, and it doesn't matter if you miss someone's birthday. ]
[As long as the player is willing, you can live the cyber life you want in Stardew Valley. This may be the original intention of Taipingdao to create Stardew Valley. 】
【Of course, if you want to challenge the extreme gameplay, want to experience 100% complete illustrations, and develop various schools, Taipingdao also likes it and supports it. 】
【Stardew Valley has been on sale for 22 days, but the sales are still stable and improving. Yesterday's sales exceeded the results of the first day of the game's release. 】
【In order to give back to the support of new and old players, Taipingdao decided to hold a live broadcast conference for Stardew Valley DLC at 1 pm today, and relevant information about this DLC will be announced at that time】
【Let us work together to make Stardew Valley, a cyber paradise, even better. 】
Stardew Valley is the most popular farming and management game at the current stage. Ten "Farming Lords" are not as good as a hair of Stardew Valley.
Once the Weibo was released, it attracted the attention of the entire Stardew Valley player circle.
"DLC? My goodness, a DLC, why is there such a big fuss?"
"I'm a newbie, what is DLC? I really don't understand, I'm really asking."
"DLC is actually the abbreviation of [Downloadable Content]. For stand-alone games, DLC is the subsequent downloadable content added to some games after they are released. It can be expansion packs, expansion DLC packages or mod-related, etc."
"Generally refers to the download package released by the manufacturer after the game is released to expand the game content, such as adding new maps, new game modes, new maps, characters, plot expansions, etc. Players will enjoy more game expansion content while experiencing the complete storyline of the original game."
"Looking forward to it, I'm really looking forward to it!"
"I still remember the grand occasion when Lao Zei released four large expansion DLCs for Terraria at the awards ceremony of the Independent Games Festival, "Catastrophe", "Thorium", "Redemption" and "Fargo". Just thinking about it makes me excited."
"Oh my god? Stardew Valley is already very hard to play, and you want to play it harder? I've been playing it too hard recently..."
"For ordinary DLCs, Lao Zei won't make such a fuss. Now it seems that this DLC of Stardew Valley must have a lot of implications."
After reading the Weibo, Jiang Zhihao saw the active comments of the players in the comment area. He held his pants tightly with his right hand, and his inner uneasiness became stronger.
What if, I mean what if.
Taipingdao easily crushed its own "Farming Lord" with just one DLC. That was not a slap on the butt of Wutong Games, but a slap on Jiang Zhihao's face.
In particular, a commenter mentioned the past of Terraria. The four large DLCs, "Disaster", "Thorium", "Redemption" and "Fighter", have made Terraria a god, and no one has ever matched it.
If, I mean if.
What if Taipingdao also did the same thing to Stardew Valley?
Does that mean that the facts are not as they guessed?
Cai Gou has never had more than one card in his hand, Ark: Survival Evolved?
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhihao's liver ached slightly, and he turned his head and asked, "What time is it now?"
The secretary understood Jiang Zhihao's hidden meaning and immediately replied:
"Mr. Jiang, it's 12:45 p.m. now. Taipingdao's live broadcast room has been opened simultaneously across the entire network, but Wu Xiu is chatting in the live broadcast room. The press conference for Stardew Valley will officially start in a quarter of an hour."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhihao hurried into Taipingdao's official live broadcast room, vowing to see what Cai Gou is up to this time.
In the live broadcast room
There were so many fans who got the news and came early, and the comments were densely rolling.
"Wolong? Isn't it said that where there is Wolong, there is Fengchu? Where is Fengchu? My Aurora Fengchu!"
"Wolong Military Advisor, what's the point of today's press conference? Can you reveal some inside information in advance? We are all family members!"
"Wolong Military Advisor, is Taipingdao still recruiting? I am a graduate student in game design and I really want to join Taipingdao! Please recommend me!"
Wu Xiu sat in the live broadcast room, smiling like Maitreya Buddha, answering the questions of fans.
"Fengchu Zhongchu, he is busy with the project. To paraphrase you young people, you don't want the game to be delayed, right?"
"What is the name of the press conference? I really know this, but I really can't tell you. But don't worry, this press conference is held by General Tiangong. Wait until one o'clock, and he will show up, and you will know then."
"Internal referral? Taipingdao basically does not use internal referrals, but if you really want to join Taipingdao, you can submit your resume internally, or you can put in more effort in this year's summer and autumn job fairs, especially for fresh graduates, there are great opportunities."
As a senior owner of the flower name of Taipingdao, Wu Xiu's name of Wolong is well-known in the game circle.
He is generous and treats people with the warmth and thoughtfulness that only Northeastern people have. With him coming out to warm up the scene, the heat of the press conference is rising steadily.
After chatting for a while, the time came to one o'clock in the afternoon.
Cai Gou, dressed in a suit and tie, walked into the live broadcast room and greeted everyone: "Wow? The press conference hasn't officially started yet, and the number of people online in the live broadcast room has exceeded one million? Great! Brother Wu!"
Wu Xiu smiled honestly, stood up very tactfully, and gave the main seat to Cai Gou.
Cai Gou was the protagonist of this press conference, and his warm-up mission had been successfully completed.
Seeing Cai Gou's arrival and carefully dressed up, the fans in the live broadcast room were instantly excited.
"Old thief, you are so handsomely dressed. Those who know you will understand that you are holding a press conference. Those who don't know you will think that you want to have an online blind date!"
"Online blind date? This is a good idea. I am the first to agree!"
"Cyber blind date conference, right? Of course, I want to sign up!"
"Hahaha, stop talking nonsense, let Old thief finish the business first!"
Cai Gou smiled and explained: "Today's Stardew Valley DLC press conference was proposed by me."
"Stardew Valley can achieve its current achievements without your support. Taipingdao has also been committed to building a virtuous circle of fan ecology. It is obviously necessary to give back to fans. Yes. "
"Some people may say, Lao Zei, you are making a fuss over nothing. It's just a DLC, but you still have to hold a press conference. When Stardew Valley was released, you only released a trailer. Why did you make such a big fuss about a DLC?"
"In fact, what you don't know is that the first DLC of Stardew Valley is called [SVE]. It is a large expansion DLC. The size of the game is comparable to re-creating Stardew Valley. I believe it will not disappoint everyone."
"Let me briefly introduce to you the protagonist of today's press conference [SVE]!"
Fans: "!!!!"
Players: "!!!!"
[SVE]?
Large expansion DLC?
The size of the game is comparable to re-creating Stardew Valley?
Stardew Valley players suddenly breathed quickly. Sure enough, this press conference came to the right place. Lao Zei really made a big splash!
"Quick, introduce it!"
"Damn, [SVE] plus Stardew Valley, won't players die of liver damage?"
"As long as the quality of the DLC is as high as Stardew Valley, I am willing to die of liver damage!"
"I am Zhao Zilong of Cyber Game, I am full of liver, let the DLC come more fiercely!"
The staff turned on the projection, and the PPT and promotional video dedicated to [SVE] were played in a loop. Cai Gou explained on the side:
"[SVE] is 100% faithful to the Stardew Valley, and adds more than 20 new NPCs, 50 locations, and more than 260 character events to Stardew Valley , 27 new fish, numerous missions, a new series of weapons, and more types of crops, etc. "
"At the same time, [SVE] has also redesigned the game map and added two farm maps for everyone to choose from. In [SVE]——"
"We can meet Olivia, a wealthy woman living in Jenkins Apartment, and his son Victor in Pelican Town, and meet Claire, a melancholy cashier in Joe's supermarket."
"You can meet Sophia, a pink-haired girl in the Blue Moon Vineyard between the Coal Mine Forest and the beach. You can meet Joe at the Fair Black Farm in the Coal Mine Forest. Farmer Andy, a loyal customer of the family, can meet the enthusiastic Susan, the owner of Emerald Farm, at the station. "
"At the outpost in the highlands, Lance is stationed here. In Malone's guild, we can buy tempered galactic weapons, and in the gurgling stream, we can catch huge king salmon. "
"There are countless secret ruins hidden in the forest in the west, and the Seagull Bridge in the east is the path to Grampton. The mountaintop in the north has a panoramic view of the entire Stardew Valley, and the Junimo Village in the south can buy rare items. "
"The huge immersive farm allows you to release all Creativity, more plant seeds, can let you fully display your talent for farming! "
"Fallen adventurers roam around in the crimson desert, and the huge Apophis hovers in the sky, watching everything on the ground with scarlet eyes. Corrupted mummies guard the iridium mine farm. Can you break through the dangers and find the hidden treasure here? "
"This is [SVE], which adds infinite fun to your Stardew Valley!"
Water friends: "!!!"
Players: "!!!"
Every time Cai Gou introduces one more [SVE] content, the player's shock increases by one point.
Good guy!
I'm just good guy!
NPC, location, character events, fish, tasks, weapons, crops, comprehensive upgrades, is it okay?
You call this DLC?
You call this a large expansion DLC?
What's the difference between this and a new game?
Modest, too modest!
Old thief, you are too good to me, I will also hammer you!
