Chapter 298 Cyber Yan Shuangying: I Bet There Are No Bullets in Your Gun (Please Subscribe)
More than 100,000 gold coins, who is responsible for this bill?
General Tiangong can't really play this big, right?
You owe 100,000 gold coins at the beginning?
Then the player is no longer an injustice?
All kinds of thoughts linger in the hearts of no-self and water friends in the live broadcast room.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. If we don’t get a definite answer to this question, I’m afraid everyone has no intention of starting [SVE].
After the opening plot ended, Wuwo swallowed a gulp of saliva and officially entered the game, giving a sense of déjà vu as a lottery player waiting for the lottery draw.
【Saving...】
[Your progress has been saved. 】
Wuwo woke up and climbed out of the wooden bed. He immediately checked the information on the panel.
【Monday 1st】
【AM: 6:00】
[Gold Coin: 500]
When Wuwo and Shuiyou saw that there was no outstanding balance in the gold coin column and the initial capital was still 500, everyone in the entire live broadcast room couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"What do you mean?" Wuwo looked at the gold coin column and suddenly realized: "The repair of the stone bridge should be funded by Robin, and it will not be counted on us!"
In the live broadcast room, the water friends were also very excited when they saw this.
Because this means that the original genre routines of Stardew Valley can still be used in [SVE].
"It scared me to death. I almost thought [SVE] would spend 100,000 yuan to raise the entry threshold for players..."
"Don't say it, don't say it. This old thief is really capable of doing this."
"It's good now. I don't owe any money. There are so many expansions. I'm so excited!"
"Old thief, you know how to create plots. The opening scene made my heart beat wildly..."
The water friends freely vented their excitement, while Wu-Se turned his attention to carefully observe the house.
The layout of this old house left by my grandfather is very simple.
There is a wooden bed, a set of tables, chairs and benches, a brick fireplace, a simple patterned carpet, and a pot of green plants placed in the corner of the entrance.
There is an old-fashioned big-ass TV set on the TV cabinet in the northwest corner of the house. In the middle of the house, there is a light brown gift box wrapped with a blue cloth strip.
Everything is no different from the original Stardew Valley...
"Ah?" Wuwo asked in confusion:
"Didn't Robin say that after the repairs, she restored the electricity and water to the hut, renovated the interior of the hut, refurbished the fireplace and surveyed the land on the farm. Why is there no change in this original house?"
In the selfless live broadcast room, there are many technical stream, challenge stream, and extreme stream players. They all witnessed the opening scene just now. After carefully chewing and recalling these words, many people had the answer in their minds and posted barrages one after another - —
"Mayor, do you think these functions require us to spend gold coins to upgrade the house at Robin's house before we can obtain these functions?"
"Yes, Robin's profession in Stardew Valley is a carpenter. She needs to be involved in upgrading and constructing farm buildings. Maybe [SVE] is the same way?"
"Eh? What you said makes sense... This explanation is very reasonable."
"Master, I understand, are the quality of friends in the mayor's live broadcast room so high?"
Wuwo also fully agreed with this view. He opened the novice gift package and got fifteen parsnip seeds. He smiled and said: "Then let's start the game and see what difference [SVE] has!"
Wu I still uses the starting gameplay and routines of Stardew Valley——
Chopping wood, hoeing, sowing, watering, fishing, mining, making friends.
Obviously there is a lot of tedious and repetitive work, but players still enjoy watching it.
And among them, as the game process of [SVE] gradually advances——
More than 20 new Pelican Town villagers have made their debut!
50 brand new locations keep players busy!
More than 260 character events enrich the game plot!
27 new fish send cyber fishing experts into a frenzy!
A large number of tasks greatly enhance the playability!
A brand new series of weapons makes combat more interesting!
More types of crops make farming parties addicted!
Pelican Town has become the most familiar yet unfamiliar world to players, allowing countless players to regain a sense of freshness about Stardew Valley and continue to stay up late to fight in the world of [SVE].
Super large expansion module!
Low price of two yuan!
Spontaneous recommendation from players!
Taiping Road has an excellent reputation!
Stardew Valley excellent quality!
All of the above contributed to the birth of a miracle!
Once Stardew Valley's first DLC [SVE] was released, it not only became a huge hit, but also caused the sales of Stardew Valley to soar by a notch, even breaking the record since its release.
Even though the price of [SVE] is only a negligible two yuan, it still gives Stardew Valley a new lease of life, ranking first in the weekly sales rankings and monthly sales rankings on the Steam platform in just three days. Number one on the list.
[Farming Lord] After the release of [SVE], the sales curve could no longer move forward and fell into a flat period.
The farming and management track is a mature track, and the market for players who like farming and management themes is so big.
If [SVE] eats one more bite, [Farming Lord] will inevitably take one less bite, which also makes the subsequent sales of [Farming Lord] not optimistic.
What makes Jiang Zhihao angry the most is that the official website of Game Paradise, as a gathering place for game designers, has recently gathered game designers from all over the world to do only three things every day -
Analyze Stardew Valley!
Analyze DLC [SVE]!
Mock Jiang Zhihao for overestimating his own abilities!
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. After all, Wutong Game Company is the mainstay of the farming and management track, right? How loud were they before? As a result, they were directly confused by a DLC from Lao Zei?"
"If you ask me, these game companies still need Lao Zei to deal with them. They are so arrogant and don't take our independent game designers seriously. Now, Lao Zei has made a move and let them know what it means that there are people beyond people and beyond the sky."
"Hahaha, I can't help but accept it. Who can I go to for justice?"
"The effect of Stardew Valley plus [SVE] is really great. It's not a simple one plus one, it's simply a perfect reaction of two chemical elements."
"Unfortunately, this kind of large-scale expansion DLC is rare in today's game circle. After all, most game companies still have a balance between making a profit of two yuan and making money by releasing new games."
There is no impenetrable wall in this industry. Once the gossip psychology of game designers is aroused, it will be spread through the platform of Game Paradise, the largest gathering place for game designers in China. It is difficult for game designers across the country not to know this news.
Who is General Tiangong?
Who is Jiang Zhihao?
What is the conflict between the two companies?
I'm afraid that everyone in the industry knows about it now!
The news that [Farming Lord] was crushed by the DLC [SVE] of Stardew Valley has naturally become a joke in the industry today.
Wutong Game Company.
Jiang Zhihao was furious when he saw the sarcasm of the game designer on the official website of Game Paradise, and felt the strange eyes of employees in the company this week.
However...
The above is not enough to break his defense.
What really broke his defense was the comforting call from Liu Mufeng, the head of Fengqi Game Company.
In this call, Liu Mufeng seemed to be comforting Jiang Zhihao, but in fact he was gloating and watching the show.
After all, the reason why the four game companies, Baihua, Wutong, Fengqi, and Qingshan, were tied together and cooperated, and even had the nickname of the four leading birds in the game circle, was not all forced by Cai Gou?
Cooperation does not mean that the relationship between the four companies is good.
Wutong and Baihua, Qingshan have a good relationship, after all, they are in different tracks, but Wutong and Fengqi are both in the farming track, and they often have conflicts.
Although the Farm Story released by Fengqi Games was also crushed by Taipingdao, Taipingdao crushed it by releasing the main body of Stardew Valley, which is not shameful.
But the Farming Lord released by Wutong Games was not only crushed by Taipingdao, but also crushed by the DLC [SVE] of Stardew Valley, which is very shameful.
In comparison, Liu Mufeng is actually lucky, so naturally when he is on the phone, his tone will be a little gloating.
"Hey, brother Zhihao, you're unlucky, but it's okay. Hang on. The old thief doesn't have only one Ark: Survival Evolved card in his hand as we expected. Let's find a time later to sit down and discuss what to do."
"Look at what's going on. What can I say about you? But I'm still on your side, brother. Don't be afraid. The price of this DLC is two yuan, which is a waste of money. If you ask me, the old thief has only this hidden trump card in his hand."
"As the big brother, I support you unilaterally and unconditionally. How can a game designer who chats on the Game Paradise forum be a good designer? Just treat their words as farts!"
Liu Mufeng didn't even realize that his tone and posture were superior to Jiang Zhihao.
But after experiencing these things, Jiang Zhihao, who was in an extremely sensitive stage of mind, felt it clearly.
The more Jiang Zhihao listened, the angrier he got.
Liu Mufeng's phone call was more of a mockery than a comfort.
The last wall in his heart collapsed completely under Liu Mufeng's call, and he was completely broken.
"Take care of yourself!"
Jiang Zhihao hung up the phone directly, his face gloomy.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Zhihao glanced at the barrage of comments on him by the game designer on the computer screen.
Jiang Zhihao, who was furious, bit his back teeth and said:
"Cai Gou? Old thief?! You are awesome, Stardew Valley, right? [SVE], right? And you have a hidden card, right? This kind of large expansion DLC, I don't believe you still have one! I'll bet with you on this!"
Large expansion DLC is relatively rare in today's game industry.
Because there is this spare time, making sequels and new games are more profitable than making large expansion DLC.
Game companies are all about money and making big profits.
Profit-oriented is their purpose.
Only a small number of independent game designers will spend several years making large expansion DLC after their games are released.
Even so, most games have one large expansion DLC per game.
Because it is possible to do it once or twice, but not three times, and because the second large expansion DLC is more difficult to make than the first one.
It is precisely because of this environment that Jiang Zhihao would have expected that Stardew Valley's [SVE] was already Cai Gou's hidden trump card.
In fact, if Jiang Zhihao had not been broken, if he still remembered the comments about Terraria that he had seen in the comment section.
He would have thought that when Taipingdao released Terraria, it had released four large expansion DLCs in one go.
At present, Stardew Valley only has one DLC. For Taipingdao and Cai Gou, what does it mean?
But now...
Jiang Zhihao was swept away by emotions.
He was broken by his cooperating opponents.
He was overwhelmed by the desire to win.
After a confused thinking, he forced himself to find a reason to make himself believe this hypothesis.
He was betting!
He was betting that Cai Gou's gun had no bullets!
He wanted to rely on his own operation to turn things around!
Without consulting with the other three partner companies, Jiang Zhihao resolutely unveiled Wutong Game Company's killer move of the year, ten days after the release of [Farming Lord] and ten days after the release of [SVE].
Wutong Game Company's farming and management game [Kingdom Hegemony] released game trailers, real-machine trailers, and CG trailers in four time periods on the same day, morning, noon, afternoon, and evening, respectively. The main feature was a saturation promotion.
[Ten Thousand Nations Fight, Ten Thousand Nations Come, Waiting for You to Unify the Continent! ]
[Kingdom Hegemony: Fight for the Remaining Strength of the Sixth Generation, Expand the Territory, and Avenge the Shame of the Past! ]
[Construction, management, talents, cultivation, farming, logistics, hegemony, technology, everything you want is here, I'm waiting for you in Kingdom Hegemony! ]
After a day, almost the entire gaming community knew that Wutong Game Company had a game called [Kingdom Hegemony] that was about to be launched.
"No? Are you a hard worker? [Farming Lord] was only released ten days ago, and your company has released a new game?"
"Damn? Big production, this [Kingdom Hegemony] is a big production, it can't be compared with [Farming Lord]!"
"Eh? Do you think the old thief has any tricks up his sleeve?"
"Hahaha, exciting, exciting, I love to watch, fast forward to the collective rampage of the game industry!"
Saturation publicity is not enough, Jiang Zhihao learned from experience.
On the day the game was launched, he learned from Cai Gou and held a new game launch conference in the name of Wutong Youxu Company.
Jiang Zhihao, the head of Wutong Game Company, personally tried [Kingdom Hegemony] in front of the water friends in the live broadcast room, and gave away benefits for free. The momentum was in full swing and everyone in the world knew about it.
Fengqi, Qingshan, Baihua, the three game companies knew about this early, and they blamed Jiang Zhihao for not discussing it with the three of them.
But when the three of them saw that Wutong Game Company even brought out this year's mainstay [Kingdom Wars], they immediately understood that Jiang Zhihao was serious.
The three companies, on the contrary, lost their resentment and looked like they were watching a good show.
Now Jiang Zhihao has shown off his lifelong skills and also learned a few tricks from Cai Gou, causing a sensation in the city.
At this moment, 99% of the players in the game circle cast their eyes on Taipingdao and Cai Gou, looking him up and down curiously, as if saying -
Old thief, it's your turn to make a move!
