Build a game empire from scratch

Qiu Lixin: "???"

"The Martian" is not only the work of the emergency team. In order to complete the goal of "5 games with 10 explorable contents" requested by Lin You, the [Science Fiction Game Department] also had a hand in this project.

Once the project is completed, it will also count towards their task requirements.

With sufficient manpower, the game scenes and plot content are relatively simple, and the production is extremely efficient.

Even though some of the content related to aerospace technology is relatively hard-core, Yunmeng also has aerospace engineer consultants to cooperate with, so there is basically no chance of getting stuck.

But now, the spaceship to go to Mars to rescue people is ready, and just when the work is about to be completed, the protagonist is robbed by the player first?

What's going on? !

At this moment, Qiu Lixin was in more pain than Lin You!

"What the hell? More than 6,000 mining ships searching for Mars?"

"Homeward Bound, Succubus, Dragon Knight...there are so many new games that they don't play, mine, or make money. They don't do anything. They just search for a game on Mars every day that they don't know exists. A small base?”

"Are these people so idle??!!"

"Why are there so many idle people? Huh??!!"

…

Qiu Lixin complained wildly in the office group and performed a show for everyone on the spot called "Crazy Leader, Crazy Online".

After seeing Qiu Lixin's collapse, Lin You immediately felt much better.

Not only did my mind gain peace, but I also thought of a question——

Is this also considered a skip?

Others skip dialogue, plot, and combat, but now these captains just skip the entire game?

That’s right, none of the core content has been implemented. The employees are still developing in an independent space in accordance with Yunmeng’s consistent tradition. They will not update it into the virtual world until the project is completed and launched online.

But as the core of the plot, NPC Matt and his small Mars base were thrown on Mars by Lin You from the beginning.

This base even predates the existence of [Space City].

Now that players have kidnapped everyone to the space city, it will be very strange to release this game——

Here Yunmeng posted a trailer, "A lonely astronaut was forgotten on Mars by his teammates. He must struggle to survive, contact the earth, and find the possibility of returning home..."

Over there in the space city, the player drags the protagonist in the trailer through the streets, puts him into a space ranch and lets him grow dozens of acres of potatoes...

The sense of violation is too strong!

Lin You already felt that this game was unplayable——

"Now that the matter is over, let's forget it and cancel the "Mars" project." Lin You said in the group.

"NO~~~~~" Qiu Lixin wailed, "No way!"

"What do you mean?" Lin You asked.

Qiu Lixin tried his best to save it: "Anyway, the core content has not been implemented. If you change the background, change the protagonist and change the planet, it can still be used!"

"Being alone in the vast space, traveling thousands of miles, such a Zen feeling!"

"Throwing an astronaut into outer space to grow potatoes, the collision of the interstellar age and the agricultural age, what an interesting and philosophical idea!"

"Let players use their own poop to grow potatoes and then eat them for themselves. Invincible creativity!!"

…

In order to retain this project, Qiu Lixin did not hesitate to praise the gameplay and story of "The Martian" in all aspects.

All in all, it’s just one sentence——

"Can't give up!"

Lin You was moved.

"Players produce their own fertilizer and grow potatoes to eat." This gameplay is really not to be missed.

He decisively gave up the idea of ​​canceling the project, "Okay, then you can study how to adjust it, and remember to send me a copy of the adjusted plan."

"No problem!" Qiu Lixin agreed.

Lin You threw away his phone, still a little dazed.

After a while, he picked up his phone again, opened Lingxi and sent a message:

[6]

[You successfully speedrun an unreleased game. ]

The accompanying picture is a scene of Meng Jiafa in the group and the NPC being dragged onto the spaceship by players - this picture was first posted online to show off by players who participated in the search.

As soon as this news came out, players were a little confused at first and thought it was a game in the "Cradle Project".

After all, the hot spot in the player circle is still "Cradle Project", and "Cradle Project" also has space-themed games.

But soon, players who participated in the "rescue" mission jumped out and explained the real situation to everyone.

After that, everyone naturally asked: "What is the name of this new game? Is it going to be released soon?"

Lin You replied: "No, this game no longer exists."

Player:? ? ?

Everyone was confused on the spot——

"What do you mean? What do you mean it's gone?"

"This game is no longer available?"

"Don't be so stubborn! Wasn't it just that someone was discovered in advance and someone was taken away? Isn't that serious!?"

"Don't mess around!! I'll form a team to take back the base and send the NPCs back now!"

"Haha, you said you could snatch them back? They have thousands of ships and tens of thousands of people. Can you snatch them?"

"You don't have to buy games anymore. This saves everyone money, right?"

"Who the hell wants you to help save money? Am I so short of money?!"

…

The players got into a row.

And many people really started to form groups in series, planning to storm the space city and take back the NPCs.

The internet is buzzing again.

…

Lin You watched the players being in chaos and fighting again, and nodded with satisfaction.

But his actions soon met with retribution——

" @Lin You, boss, it's bad, the Predator and the alien spacecraft have also been discovered by the players!" Meng Jia called Lin You urgently again.

"?" A question mark slowly appeared on Lin You's head.

"what's the situation?"

"The player expedition team deduced several suspicious orbits of the spacecraft based on the positions of Saturn's rings and satellites, and then pulled a net to sweep over them one by one to find the spacecraft!"

"..."

Lin You's head began to feel phantom pain.

"Aren't these people sick?! Wandering around in the vast universe with nothing for more than half a month, don't they get bored?!"

He really couldn't figure it out, how could these people be so patient?

It's understandable that one or two people can endure loneliness, but "searching in space" sounds like something that only a large group of people can do - can so many people endure dozens of hours of boring flight?

If you have such patience, why not do something valuable, such as going to a factory to drive screws or something?

"Then what? What did they do again? Steal the spaceship?"

"That's not true. They wanted to capture the Predator and the Alien and bring them back to the space city to sell tickets. But the Predator and the Alien were too good at fighting, and they wanted to capture them alive. This resulted in heavy losses for them. Hundreds of people are now dead. .”

"???" Lin You was stunned for a moment, "Are they planning to open a zoo?"

"No, you mean now? Is this still going on?"

"Yes, they are live broadcasting." Meng Jia confirmed.

After speaking, he also sent the link to the live broadcast room to Lin You...
