I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man

"Game Development Story"

The plot of the story is very simple.

It tells the story of a game design company that has grown from obscurity all the way up.

The gameplay is even simpler.

As the boss of a game company, the player formulates the company's development policy and finalizes the game design plan. During the process, he decides whether to find an outsourcing team for cooperation and whether to carry out advertising. The final release depends on the market response and the final market evaluation. Awards.

Through such a large series, we can earn money from it and then develop more sophisticated games step by step.

Additional funds can also be used to train employees so that they can shorten the game production process as they gain experience.

Overall, it is a very ordinary business simulation game.

In today's Blue Star game market, a hundred flowers are blooming.

This game is truly ordinary in terms of settings, picture quality, and gameplay.

There are better games than this in Kejin's hands.

Whether it is the masterpiece series Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Dark Souls, Big Cousin, 2077, Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, Baldur's Gate, etc.

Or it's the sports competition type Extreme Nation, 2K series, FIFA/NBA series.

There are also racing-type Need for Speed ​​and Horizon series.

Real-time strategy games, the Civilization series, and the famous Stellaris whose memes are more popular than the games themselves.

I really want to make money. As a 2D side-scrolling fighting online game, "Dungeon \u0026 Fighter" has never been afraid of anyone in terms of making money.

As well as, small-production but equally high-quality Dave the Diver, House of Witches, Portal, Terraria, and What Remains of Edith Finch.

There are so many choices to make in Kejin.

Let’s take a step back.

If you are really not picky about food, it is not impossible to activate Genshin Impact.

But Kejin is still among the many games where he can win.

I chose this game, which seems to be an extremely ordinary game.

Then he started his last live broadcast on a formal occasion.

At first, Kejin named the company "The Number One Player"

The company's start-up capital is only 1,000 yuan.

And the company only has two employees.

Ke Jin changed the names of two randomly generated employees to "Ke Yu" and "Gou Chehua"

Employees have a total of five major options: planning, copywriting, operations, music, painting, and programming.

The employee named Ke Yu has a high initial bonus for his talent in painting.

And Gou Chehua’s operational bonus points are very high.

When making the first game, the company didn't have many categories unlocked.

There are only a few options such as development, puzzle, board, and card.

As well as tags for small categories, such as [Treasure Hunt], [Robot], [Referee], [Ninja], [Civilization], etc.

The choice of each theme and label is different, and the production funds are also different.

Ke Jin chose the development theme + the [Civilization] label.

Then in the development host column, select the PC side.

After confirming the production of the game.

In the picture, two pixel-style employees began to sit in front of the computer and tap the keyboard continuously.

The game production progress table is also displayed in the progress bar column below.

From 0% to 100%, the production is completed.

In addition, there are four reference dimensions: [interestingness], [originality], [picture], and [composition].

These four dimensions will affect the sales of the game.

The higher the dimension value, the greater the probability of selling a hot item in the future.

When the production progress reaches 40%, a prompt box will pop up to remind players that they can start selecting a painting producer to design illustrations and characters.

Then ask the players who they need to choose to make related productions.

Ke Jin chose Ke Yu without hesitation.

Although in the game, Ke Yu's painting level is not very high, only around 30 points, which is still visible compared to Gou Chehua's single digits.

But compared to those outsourced teams, the painting values ​​range from dozens to hundreds, or even three to four hundred.

It seems a little inadequate.

But Kejin still decisively chose Keyu.

The moment the lock comes down.

The gift special effects suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room.

[User ‘Xiaoyudi’er’ sends a rocket! 】

As soon as they saw the ID of the person who sent the gift, the commentators became excited.

"Frog fun! Hello, my wife!"

"Yubao, hey, my Yubao!"

"Isn't this a coincidence? My wife and brother-in-law are both here, so I have to buy some gifts now, just as a greeting gift. /Smile/Smile"

"It can only be said that they are biological brothers and sisters. When a brother plays games, he is so determined to choose his sister. This relationship is really good."

"I admire it. They have a fairy-like relationship between brother and sister. It's not like my sister who likes to kick me every day and makes me wash her underwear. She especially likes to snatch things I have eaten. It's really annoying."

"Brother upstairs, I advise you to be careful about your sister. I can only say that there is a problem. It will be inconvenient to talk about it any more."

Ke Jin glanced at the barrage and clarified.

“Don’t get me wrong, I chose Keyu because it’s free and other outsourced members are too expensive. If there is a better one, I definitely don’t want Keyu.”

As he spoke, he moved the mouse to the gold coin column, proving that he really couldn't afford better talents now.

As soon as he finished speaking, Keyu, who was still peeking at the screen, couldn't hold himself any longer.

Type directly on the public screen.

"Anchor, could you please back off my rocket? I made a mistake, Crab."

Seeing the brother and sister 'attack' each other caused another round of barrage in the live broadcast room.

After Ke Yu was appointed as the painter, the attributes of the new game's four-dimensional attribute bar, the [picture], began to increase slightly.

The entire game development process progresses automatically and in an orderly manner.

But there will also be some emergencies along the way.

For example, the game manufacturer next door launched a press conference for a new game console.

Once the game console came out, it was well received by players and its market share increased.

As a result, PCs, which originally accounted for 50% of the market, shrank to only 30% of the market share.

At this time, Kejin was developing PC games. As a result of this unexpected incident, the money that could be earned was already visibly lost before the game was developed.

This piece of content actually allowed those who watched the live broadcast to know more about the entire gaming industry.

"Ah, it turns out that releasing new models will have an impact on the sales of other consoles on the market..."

"I thought I could make money as long as I made a game, but I didn't expect that this game is close to the laws of reality?"

"According to Gravograph's game design style, although the game production process of this game has been simplified a lot, the content is definitely more realistic."

When the barrages were chatting away.

The game development progress has reached 80%, and the selection box will pop up again.

It prompts the player that they have entered the composition stage and allows the player to select the corresponding composer.

It’s still the old rule. Ke Yu and Gou Chehua are free because they are our own employees.

If you hire an outsourced team, you need to pay the corresponding price.

But the first game has already wiped out all the expenses of [Ready Player One].

Therefore, if there is no money to hire someone expensive, Keyu will still be responsible for composing the music.

When the progress finally reached 100%, a prompt popped up indicating that it could be put on the shelves.

However, in the process of game production, many BUG problems will occur.

It takes time to fix.

Of course, you can also ignore the BUG and put it on the shelves directly, but it will have a certain negative impact on word-of-mouth.

Kejin chose to fix the BUG, ​​and then directly named the game "Origin of Species"

The moment I saw this name appear.

The barrage in the live broadcast room started rolling densely like a sudden realization.

"Mist grass! Things!"

“Isn’t this Ready Player One’s first game?”

"It's broken, something is wrong..."

"Two years later, a small game was released, and the game itself taught players how to make games... Then the company's name was still called Gamer Number One, and the names of the employees also matched reality. Now the first The game is also called [Origin of Species]... I understand! Gravograph is implying that all previous games will be re-released!"

"... No matter how you think about it, it's not a reset version... I feel like it's more like the final game. I always have a bad feeling..."

"What the fuck? No, no Gravbol! How can I live without your games... In this life, I really point to your games as the anchor of my life... /cry / cry loudly"

There were various opinions on the barrage, but Kejin did not directly respond to this discussion.

Instead, continue to immerse yourself in your own game world.

After the development of [Origin of Species] is completed, it will enter a period of reviewer scoring.

This link usually does not play a decisive role, but it has a certain reference for subsequent sales.

If a work can give high scores to all four reviewers.

Then its sales will definitely be explosive after it is put on the shelves.

But it's a pity.

As the first game produced by [Ready Player One].

[Origin of Species] did not receive very high scores from reviewers.

2~3 points for clear water.

Then, it was time for the game to be released.

A sales bar chart will also pop up right below the game.

Take each week as a sales node.

[Origin of Species] In the first week, more than 300 copies of sales data were sold.

In the second week, there were only more than 280 copies.

The histogram slowly decreases over time.

It will drop to a minimum after three months, or twelve weeks, on the shelves, and then subsequent sales data will be negligible.

Throughout the entire process, "Origin of Species" sold more than 1,500 copies.

For the top player with a starting capital of only 1,000 yuan, this is really just hard-earned money.

The market response has also been relatively muted.

But soon, Kejin began his second attempt at game planning.

【iwanna】

Development equipment still chooses the free PC side. At this time, the PC market share has been squeezed by other consoles, leaving only about 20%.

But after choosing adventure as the theme and [funny] as the tag.

But an unexpected chemical reaction occurred.

During the development period of the new game, we received news that fans of Ready Player One were looking forward to this new game, and there was already a long queue outside the pre-sale store.

Moreover, due to their tacit cooperation, the employees have grasped the new goals of game development.

This policy, to put it bluntly, is actually a skill point.

Points will be added based on the eight dimensions of cuteness, authenticity, affinity, seniority, operation, novelty, refinement, and world view.

Properly allocating points can greatly increase the sales of the game after it is released.

For example, in a cute pet game, it is natural to allocate all points to [cuteness] and [amiability] as much as possible.

For competitive games, it is best to allocate points to the [operation] area.

For 3D masterpieces, [realism], [world view] and the like are very important.

For hard-core games, [experience] and [fineness] are equally important.

Then comes the cliche game production process.

Keyu has served as the screenwriter and composer of [iwanna] twice in a row.

This time the game was released again, and four reviewers gave it a passing score of 5 to 6 points.

In the first three months of its release, sales exceeded 10,000 for the first time because fans loved it so much.

He even won the small award of "Best Newcomer Award" at the annual game conference held at the end of the year.

This award can increase the number of fan exposures for [the top player] and a bonus of 1,000 yuan.

The second game was finally a success.

But that doesn’t mean the road ahead will be smooth.

What follows is the pressure caused by the continuous involution of the game market.

For example, new consoles are launched almost every year. Since they have better performance and can drive more delicate games, it is reasonable for players to support them.

The market share of the PC side is also declining.

Dropped from 20% to 10%

By the time the fourth game "City Skylines" was released, the PC market accounted for only 5%.

At this time, the largest player needs to choose to cooperate with the game console market.

For example, you can pay a certain copyright fee and obtain permission to launch a new console.

This is another considerable amount of income.

In addition, the cost of developing games on new consoles will also increase exponentially.

Financial pressures remain on the top players.

As Kejin continues to show off more game content.

Most of the fans in the live broadcast room also had a true understanding for the first time of how many big and small things a game goes through during the entire process from development to final release.

And deeply lamented that game production is not as simple as he imagined.

It’s not as simple as hiring a group of people, giving them an idea, and everyone working on it will definitely make money.

In Game Development Stories.

If you want to make money by starting a company, the easiest way is to make popular games.

But how the game becomes popular depends on players’ own judgment.

Can there be an audience for robot labels and puzzle themes?

Or would ninjas be more compatible with action games?

These are things that players need to think about, and after the general direction is finalized, it is impossible to know how the game will sell until the end of the game development process.

This implicit sense of expectation is also one of the greatest joys of this game.

Another thing is that the company will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo and will naturally expand its scale and design larger games.

What should we do if the current employees are not competent enough?

Naturally, they have to be sent for training to increase their attributes.

Training also requires expenses.

Then, if you want to shorten the game production cycle, you must upgrade your employees.

After the upgrade, employees' wages will also increase.

This is another expense.

Then, even if there are employees, it is found that the workers on hand cannot handle it, and a more experienced outsourcing team must be hired to produce it.

It’s also an expense.

Finally, the price of publicity and distribution after the game was released was equally expensive. It was even announced several times to increase the exposure and then take a look.

The expenditure on publicity and distribution has exceeded the expenditure on the production of the main game, which is everywhere.

So will it definitely make money?

uncertain.

The biggest possibility is that your entire design team is optimistic about the project, but the player market just doesn’t buy it. This year, the trend has changed.

Maybe when you were making games, people still liked action games.

After your one-year cycle is over, everyone will love the open world even more.

These pressures are only within the game.

In reality, there are more problems.

The employees you have trained so hard may change jobs. This is an uncontrollable risk factor.

The other is to collide with fellow subjects.

When the subject matter is extremely similar, there will never be an equal sharing of income.

Instead, there will be a situation where the winner takes all and the loser loses everything.

Once a big, wealthy manufacturer realizes that you and his idea will collide.

Or, he knew your idea in advance, copied it, invested more in it, overtook it in a corner, and rushed to sell it ahead of you.

It can directly drive a small and medium-sized game manufacturer to death.

There are countless problems, and water friends in the live broadcast room can't help but sigh.

‘The water in the gaming industry seems much deeper than it appears’

‘I didn’t expect that making a game would have to go through so many setbacks’

‘Looking at it this way, it’s not easy for Number One Player to get all the way to where it is today…’

But beyond these factors.

The joy of making the game itself can also be felt to a greater or lesser extent in "Game Development Story".

For example, when a game is released and sells well, players will feel happy when they see their company's money skyrocketing.

Or receiving letters, gifts, and second creations from fans all over the world, that kind of heartfelt touch.

And the moment I stood on the winning stage, I was extremely proud of my achievement.

The gains of fame, wealth and emotion are also sources of motivation that allow game designers to not be afraid of the difficult road and still be willing to forge ahead.

The entire live broadcast has come to an end. During the entire live broadcast, Ke Jin didn't say much.

Unless some explanation is necessary, more often than not, his identity is not like that of a game developer.

And like a serious player, actively exploring various possibilities in the game.

Until the final stage of the live broadcast.

Ke Jin finally announced something.

Regarding the fact that "I am about to retire, and "Game Development Story" is the last game I will make."

People always think that the day of farewell should be a special day.

It may be windy and rainy, or there may be lightning and thunder.

It seems that this is the only way to vent people's emotions.

But this is the day when farewell really comes.

All the water friends in front of the live broadcast room found out.

It's sunny outside and the sky is clear.

The light from the window shone unstintingly on Ke Jin in the camera of the live broadcast room, coating his whole body with a layer of gold.

Ke Jin, on the other hand, stood in the light, and even the facial features were blurred by the light, leaving only the outline of his face.

He silently bowed towards the audience in the live broadcast room and bowed to thank the audience in front of the camera.

It seems that he wants to thank this group of fans who have been with him for six years in this way.

Along the way, Number One Player has not bowed many times, but every time he bows, he must be facing the fans and players who support him, this group of parents who support him.

And when he bent over, the sunlight outside the window was no longer blocked by his body.

As a result, the sun shines directly into the camera.

As if he wanted to share the light with everyone, at that moment, the screen was as bright as a white field.

Then, the live broadcast ended.

Before all the players had even come back to their senses.

Carving Jin's name has already faded away.

In the first few months, this incident became the biggest hot topic that almost shocked the whole world, and continued to trigger discussions among netizens.

A man who is in his prime and stands at the top of the gaming field, without explaining any reason, leaves hastily with a simple explanation. There must be a shocking conspiracy hidden in this!

The media also caught on to the popularity and reported endlessly.

There are all kinds of speculations.

It was said that Jin Jiang had exhausted all his talents and would never be able to produce good games again, so he chose to leave in a dignified way.

It is also said that the number one player actually has a serious internal deficit, high-level discord, and factional fighting forced the founder to leave.

This kind of thing has not happened before, such as Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Group.

It is also said that the engraved designer was hurt by love and gradually sank into despair and could never regain the high spirits of the past.

No matter which way you say it, Ke Jin seems to have completely disappeared in the chaotic vat of the Internet. There has been no movement from him in various media accounts. There has been no response. It is as quiet as if he has never appeared. If Not that many impressive games left.

As for the trajectory of daily activities in reality.

Some say they captured him traveling around the world.

Some people said that they saw Ke Jin's back when they were walking downstairs at home.

There is even a popular challenge on the Internet called ‘Find the missing person! ’

Some people even go to the gate of the No. 1 Player headquarters every day to see if Ke Jin is still hiding in the company, but they just get up early and come back late every day.

But it's a pity.

Even with the participation of all the people, except for the fake news circulating all over the Internet, no one has found Ke Jin again.

No matter how hot the topic is, it will slowly fade away as time goes by.

A year later, there are very few people discussing this matter online.

Ke Jin disappears from the Internet, and it seems that it is no longer a matter of concern.

Life has returned to calm. The mainstream player group who played Ready Player One games back then has slowly grown to an age where they have to start facing life.

Everyone is bound by the trivial daily necessities of daily necessities.

Maybe it's just in my spare time, when I can take a breath.

Only then can I find time to open a new game now.

But no matter how I play, I can't immerse myself in it, and I can never find the fun I had back then.

It’s not that today’s games aren’t fun enough.

Rather.

When I look back at the games he made, I see it all.

It’s all my former self.

————

Zhang Heng just celebrated his 40th birthday.

On his birthday, his daughter, who is already in high school, counted the white hairs on his head.

There are not many white hairs, only a dozen.

But Zhang Heng looked at the flames dancing on the birthday cake and had to admit that he was no longer young.

When I first started working on the Ready Player One game series, I was only in my early 30s, and my daughter was only four or five years old.

At that time, he was really under a lot of pressure, because if he couldn't make any more money, he might not even be able to pay the mortgage.

It was the emergence of Ready Player One that gave him a second chance in his career.

He also relied closely on the number one player and spent the best five or six years of his life.

But there is no banquet in the world that never ends.

Now Zhang Heng has earned enough money to allow his family to live a normal life.

In terms of career, he has already transformed into a game consultant.

Because of his in-depth analysis of Ready Player One games over the past five or six years, this experience is highly valued by many game manufacturers.

Now, Zhang Heng, who has a successful career and family, always feels that something is missing.

He can never regain the passion he had for playing games and explaining them.

"Maybe it's because I'm really old." Zhang Heng thought to himself.

Soon, at the urging of his family, Zhang Heng blew out the candles.

And make a wish in your heart and say it silently.

Then when his family members asked him with smiles what kind of wish he had made.

Zhang Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "My wish won't work if I say it."

"I guess, with my dad being so utilitarian, he must have secretly made a wish in his heart for me to get into a good university and become successful in the future, right?" the daughter guessed.

"I guess it's your dad. He has always wanted to buy a new car, but the old car at home is pretty good in all aspects, so I never let him spend the extra money, so I secretly made a wish in my heart, hoping that I can get a new car this year. Allow him to buy a new car. But no, the family's money is not spent like this." The wife also laughed.

In fact, this year, my wife plans to secretly buy his new car that she has coveted for a long time without telling her husband, and then give it to him as a gift to surprise him.

This man who has protected his family from wind and rain has sacrificed so much for himself and his daughter over the years.

In the past, he was not allowed to spend money arbitrarily, and his wife herself was also very poor, just to allow the savings of the small family to withstand major risks.

Now, the family life is a little more comfortable, and Lao Zhang has also found a relatively stable job.

There is no reason for this man who has worked hard for half his life to have his wishes unfulfilled.

Zhang Heng just smiled and did not respond to whether his wife and daughter's guess was right or wrong.

After cutting the cake, my wife served a table of delicious dishes.

Amid laughter and laughter, Zhang Heng celebrated his 40th birthday, accompanied by his family.

But the unhappiness in my heart still hasn't been vented.

Even Zhang Heng himself couldn't explain the reason.

Perhaps it is the confusion and anxiety about the future that arises when people reach the age of mid-life crisis?

"I'm going for a drive." After thinking about it, Zhang Heng picked up the car keys from the coffee table, walked to the door and put on his coat.

The wife was still a little surprised, but seeing her husband leaving in a hurry, he left without even waiting for her consent.

At this time in the past, his wife would have definitely wanted to get to the bottom of things and ask him where he was going.

This time, the wife chose to remain silent.

Maybe, even between husband and wife.

Some emotions cannot be completely conveyed to the other person's heart.

Since he chose to go out on his 40th birthday.

Then just leave him alone for a while.

…

Zhang Heng arrived at the underground garage, picked up his car and drove out of the community.

The road was aimless, wandering around the city. The refracted light in my eyes was shining with the feasting and feasting of the street scene, as well as the hurried passers-by who hid all kinds of worries in their hearts and seemed calm on the surface.

He rolled up the car window, letting the cool evening breeze hit his face, and lit a cigarette at the same time.

"Zizzizi." The flames burned the cigarette and made a subtle sound.

And right now.

A related news advisory came from the game radio station he usually listened to on the car radio.

"Recently, the new game "Horror Mountain 2" by Neon Country Game Company Kolemi was released. On the day of release, there were long queues at major physical marketing stores..."

Zhang Heng had no intention of listening to the rest of the content.

Instead, he raised his middle finger like a reflex and cursed in his mouth.

"Fuck you, Kolemi."

It’s not just Zhang Heng.

Almost all gamers around the world, as long as they are a little more experienced, hate this new game company that has suddenly emerged in recent years, Kolami.

After the chief designer of Ready Player One, Ke Jin, announced his retirement.

Although Ready Player One still maintains its title as the world's number one game manufacturer.

However, the disappearance of the soul figure caused the subsequent game production level of Ready Player One to plummet.

Although he disappeared in the past few years, several popular game works have appeared one after another in Ready Player One.

But bad games also account for half of it, which makes the name of this game company gradually lose its weight in the hearts of players around the world. It is no longer the way it used to be, as long as the game is released, players can even close their eyes and not think about it.

In other words, Ready Player One was simply cut into two eras by a group of fans.

One is the first era of video games when Kejin was still around.

The other one is from the current post-Jin era.

It is tepid and mediocre, and most of the time it depends on the capital left by Kejin to make a living.

At this time, Kolemi appeared in the public eye as a rising star.

It took over the big stick from Ready Player One and filled the void of superior, high-quality works.

Game designer Sufuku Kojima, with his unique understanding of games, began to break various records in the game industry again and again.

In just a few years, it has helped Kolemi establish a foothold in the game and gained many gamers and fans from all over the world.

And just when everyone thought that this was one of the few game companies in the post-Jin era that could truly enter the hearts of players.

Kolemi believes that Kojima's meticulously polished games have seriously slowed down the company's ability to make money.

Even this blind pursuit of quality has ruined the atmosphere of the entire company.

Many new employees have also begun to follow suit.

Therefore, Kolemei directly drove away Kojima Sufuku, who had made unrewarding contributions to the entire company.

Kojima was even banned from attending award ceremonies for games he made.

As soon as the incident broke out, players around the world were very angry.

But the face of capital has always been like this. It only sees interests and no human feelings.

Therefore, wait until the incident is over.

Kolami is making money just as it should. Without Kodao, it will still be a waste of money to speculate on the old IPs of previous years.

What, the sequel to a classic IP is a piece of shit?

It doesn’t matter, the world is so big, there will always be players who will buy it.

Feelings are priceless.

Therefore, the players have no better solution besides verbal criticism.

The most I can do is angrily personify Kolemi, change her into a Coke girl, and then fuck her hard to achieve a mental state of reconciliation with myself.

After all, there were very few leaders like Ke Jin who dared to challenge global gaming capital during the first year of gaming.

But it should be said or not.

The demonic trend set off by Kolami has begun to be imitated by some game manufacturers that have moved to the forefront in recent years.

It is said that it is not easy to learn well, but it is easy to learn badly.

Recently, the gaming industry, which was finally corrected by the number one player in the past ten years, has begun to develop in a bad direction again.

Some krypton gold games that were not dared to be released in the past few years have secretly begun to take root and take root while everyone is scolding Kolami.

In this regard, Zhang Heng loves this industry deeply.

There is no other way but to express a pure national curse.

"It would be great if my wish could come true." Zhang Heng took a puff of cigarette, then sighed slightly, and the smoke slowly puffed out.

The wish he made for his 40th birthday this year is simple, but also very difficult.

‘It would be great if the engraving designer could make a comeback’

Simple because.

If Ke Jin can come back, the game will be remade.

Where can I find a clown like Kolemi jumping around?

With the strength of the engraved designer, he can stomp on the head of Kolemi and kill him in a matter of minutes.

The difficulty is because this year is already the third year that there has been no news from the engraving designer.

It's been exactly ten years since Ready Player One's first game.

If he was really willing to come back, he wouldn't have waited for Kolemi to keep clamoring until now.

"Oh, just think about it."

"An era is not an era if it remains unchanged. There are always good and bad times."

"This is what life is." After taking the last puff of cigarette, Zhang Heng sighed and threw the cigarette out of the window.

Just about to step on the accelerator.

But he suddenly moved to the brake and pressed hard.

The car came to an emergency stop as soon as it started, making a sharp grinding sound on the spot.

It's at the corner of the street not far ahead.

Zhang Heng saw someone...

Someone who looks like him between his eyebrows.

As a loyal fan of Ready Player One, Zhang Heng is all too familiar with Ke Jin's appearance in public places over the years.

That man looked a bit like Ke Jin from his hairstyle, facial features, and even his temperament.

"Is it...could it be..." Zhang Heng didn't know why he was nervous. He released the brakes little by little and drove in front of the other party at a slow speed.

He greeted the other side slightly awkwardly.

Wait for the other person to turn around and look at him with a smile.

Zhang Heng was a little disappointed.

This brother is indeed an old fan of the game, and he is also an avid supporter of Kejin.

So now when I go out, my hair style and clothes will be deliberately imitated by Ke Jin's style.

He even put on some light makeup to ensure a resemblance.

So Zhang Heng was dazzled at first sight.

"Hahaha, I'm just like you. I've been waiting for the designer to show up for a long time." The other party laughed loudly when he learned that Zhang Heng had admitted the wrong person.

"But he won't come back."

"Why?" Zhang Heng was puzzled.

"The risk is too great. He is already at the top of the game industry. He is well-known enough to leave a mark in the history of game development. He is not short of money. I heard that he has found a wife who is extremely wealthy. He is a sure winner in life. When he comes back at this time, players' expectations for him will naturally be very high. It's okay to make a good game, but if he can't make it, he will shoot himself in the foot and his reputation will be ruined. I am him, and I will definitely not do it."

"...That's right." Zhang Heng felt that this brother's analysis was reasonable.

"Okay, brother, I have to leave beforehand. Brother, please drive carefully on the road." The elder brother smiled and waved to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng nodded and smiled back at him.

Just when they both lifted their feet, one was about to leave and the other was about to step on the accelerator.

“Dong dong dong————!!”

An unexpected sound sounded in this lively urban area.

It didn’t just make Zhang Heng and the big brother’s raised feet freeze.

It made all the passers-by around subconsciously raise their heads and look around, looking for the source of the sound.

The sound seemed to come from near a tall building surrounded by electronic billboards.

And it has three-dimensional surround sound.

When everyone looked up at several large advertising screens on the surrounding skyscrapers.

Something strange happened suddenly!

Originally, the colorful neon signs all turned into blood red at this moment!

The large open-air electronic LCD screens that played different advertisements immediately played the exact same picture, as if they were surrounding everyone in the city center.

At this time, no matter which angle you look up from, you will see the same picture on the screens on the surrounding buildings.

In the center of the screen that spread like blood, a halo of black and white spread out like ripples.

Texts of varying thickness slowly emerged.

Gorgeous and unique visual effects make the entire screen look like a letter.

At this time, a mechanical voice and a narration with a lot of distorted sound effects came out, and the text was slowly read out with a sound that sounded like a damaged machine.

【Konami】：

Shameless bastard, greedy criminal, Kolemi Games, your interests and world-wide reputation are all based on the cruel exploitation of your employees, so we decided to let you confess all your crimes.

——The Phantom Thieves of the Heart, above.

The words just fell.

A piece of shocking music came out.

babala~babala~babala~bala~

babala~babala~babala~baba~

The strong and rhythmic drum beats, accompanied by the heart-stirring beats of the plug-in electric guitar, resounded throughout the downtown streets.

Since there are high-rise buildings all around, the natural three-dimensional reverberation enhances the sense of rhythm.

Along with the low bass and the addition of harmonies, the whole song has a rich rock and roll style that makes people want to shake their heads and shake their legs.

After the pleasant prelude, the powerful contralto voice slowly opened up.

It's not a game, I'm not a robot AI challenges you!

I'm not a phantom, I'm in your face and, I'm here to see it through!

In the central area of ​​​​the downtown area, the large display screens overhead also began to show new pictures.

The style of the UI consists of a strong visual mix of red, black, and white, and the use of lines to the extreme.

This seemingly strange visual effect can leave a deep impression on people at the first glance.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and thin man wearing a black windbreaker and a mask on his face appeared on the big screen.

As he stretched out the rope in his hand, he swayed over the silhouettes of surrounding skyscrapers like Spider-Man.

It also brings gorgeous visual transition effects,

As the scene switched, a cat wearing a yellow scarf and another cat girl wearing a tight red leather jacket were running quickly in the dark streets, as if they were searching for the truth.

The female singer continued to sing with a strong chest resonance.

Right before your eyes, Watch us multiply, Come to claim our rights. It's time!

As our power grows, Tryin' to stop us shows, Might as well go try'n stop time!

At this moment, the content in the picture continues to play out.

The golden-haired man wearing a skull mask violently threw the suitcase in his hand forward.

The camera moved along with the suitcase, and another thin man wearing a fox mask leaped into the air, pulled out the sharp blade in his hand, and smashed the suitcase into pieces with a flash of sword.

The suitcase explodes and a red beating heart falls from it.

As the camera continues to follow.

From the ground perspective, a short-haired girl riding a cool modified motorcycle was coming towards her. She stretched out her hand to catch the red heart firmly and controlled the motorcycle to perform a tail drift in place.

Then, he threw the red heart vigorously in another direction.

So you know that we're out there

Swatting lies in the making

Can't move fast without breaking

Can't hold on or life won't change

The vocals are still engrossed in the singing.

At this moment, the scene changed, and a girl wearing aristocratic clothing and wavy hair was holding a giant ax and slashing hard, hitting the red hearts flying towards her again like a relay.

Finally, a UFO-shaped aircraft floated from the sky. A girl with straight brown hair, wearing a close-fitting future technology costume, moved her fingers quickly on the instrument panel of the aircraft with nimble fingers.

The aircraft was controlled to extend its tentacles, relaying love once again, and finally into the hands of the boy in the windbreaker who first appeared on the screen.

The masked young man in a trench coat held a love heart, with an arrogant and provocative smile on his face. He swung the rope in his hand, quickly shuttled between the skyscrapers in the camera, and disappeared from the screen.

The singing content of the background music has also reached the last section.

The drumbeats become more and more intense, and the passionate violins intersperse in, pushing the whole song to a climax with the sharp sound of strings!

And our voices ring out yeah!

Took the mask off to feel free!

Fought it out in the debris!

Now we know that life will change!

…

Zhang Heng looked up blankly and looked at everything in front of him.

And in fact.

What he didn't know was.

Such a scene.

And not just in his city.

But it seems as if it has been planned for a long time.

At this moment, in all the large cities around the world, the most prosperous and lively areas.

All electronic screen equipment is being rented and requisitioned at this moment.

The same picture is playing!

People from all over the world are now coming and going in big cities.

They all stopped and looked up at the screens of different sizes above their heads.

The powerful rock style and the surround sound composed of high-rise buildings made every passerby's heart tremble deeply with the beat, and the strange light in their eyes couldn't stop flowing.

As the content of the camera footage gradually comes to an end.

The gorgeous performance will eventually come to an end.

The screen suddenly went black.

But soon, the subtitles plated with dark golden luster appeared again.
