National Game Producer

Saturday morning.

After Li Nansheng got up, he picked up his phone as usual and looked through the messages on various chat apps and social platforms.

When he opened Weibo, he immediately saw the updates posted by "Fire Messenger" in the early morning.

[Firebringer: I just watched the live broadcast of "Ori and the Blind Forest" for a while, and found that this game is pretty good, so I decided to give it a try.

[As for the results of the trial... I can only say that this is the most innovative game I have played in the past two or three months. I feel that there is a lot worth learning in it. 】

This is... "Firebringer" recommending games?

How rare!

Li Nansheng casually clicked a like, then swiped through this post and continued to browse other posts.

"Fire Bearer"'s Weibo was the one he casually followed after the two of them collided head-on for the second time.

By now, he has long lost his dislike for the "Fire Bearer"... and of course he doesn't have any good feelings either.

From an ordinary person's point of view, the other party's behavior and style are indeed not disgusting;

From the perspective of peers, the other party's deeds in opening up new types of game markets are indeed admirable.

Of course, the most important thing is... he has made a lot of benefits by following the other party to make new types of games!

He will definitely not hate someone who can help him make money.

After browsing through other posts, Li Nansheng found the post about "Firebringer" again and glanced at the game name.

"Ori and the Blind Forest"...

He thought for a while, got up, washed and had breakfast.

After everything was cleaned up, he sat down on the sofa in the living room and put on the [Editor Resonator].

Log in to the official game platform and search for "Ori and the Blind Forest".

After a second, the screen jumped to the store page of "Ori and the Blind Forest".

Li Nansheng subconsciously glanced at the producer's name.

"Where is Suai?"

His eyes widened slightly.

Of course he knows the name.

Not to mention that in August, the matter about two high school students and "Word Game" caused a commotion on the entire Internet; just talk about several new types of games released by "Where is Suai"?

He will never forget something that has surpassed him several times on the popular travel list.

Those two high school students released a new game, and their new game was copied by "Firebringer"?

While Li Nansheng was thinking, he clicked on the evaluation area below to see what the players had to say.

[Two big bosses who make new types of games finally interact with each other, great~]

[Whatever "Firebringer" does, I do]

[I almost cried from the beginning of the game, it’s a rubbish game!]

[Remind all friends who have just started this game to die a few more times in the Silver Tree and enjoy the background music there more. I am really moved by how beautiful it is!]

[I have cleared the level and have died more than 300 times, so sprinkle some water on me~]

[I have a hunch that starting from this game, the gaming industry is likely to enter a new gaming era... However, the previous 3D new type game "Firebringer" also gave me a similar hunch, emmm... Could it be

The gaming industry is about to start several different eras?】

【I’m so crazy about it!】

…

Am I going to play whatever "Firebringer" does?

Li Nansheng muttered silently in his heart, then clicked to purchase the game and started downloading and playing it directly.

And this play lasted a whole day.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening, when he was so hungry that he was dizzy, that he stopped.

After a quick takeaway dinner, he was about to continue playing the game, but suddenly stopped.

He thought for a while, then turned around and called the young man with glasses.

"Have you ever played Ori?"

"ah?"

"Go and try it out. The full name of the game is "Ori and the Blind Forest"."

"Oh...what are you planning to do?"

"I want to make a similar game." Li Nansheng said seriously.

"What?" The young man with glasses on the other side was very confused.

"I just feel... I've almost made enough money, and it's time to make a game that I want to make."

Li Nansheng recalled his experience throughout the day. An unprecedented emotion suddenly invaded his consciousness, controlled his thoughts, and made him say some inexplicable words, "I want to stay in the gaming circle."

Order something."

"..." The young man with glasses was stunned.

Want to leave something behind in the gaming circle?

this……

Li Nansheng would actually say such a thing one day?

Is this still the money-hungry maniac he knew?

"Have you been brainwashed by the 'Firebringer'?" He thought for a long time and only came up with this possibility.

"To be precise, I should have been brainwashed by a few high school students and the game "Ori" they made." Li Nansheng explained nonchalantly.

"...Is this game so scary?"

The bespectacled young man hesitated and said, "Can I not play?"

"You have to play!"

Li Nansheng smiled and said, "If I don't 'brainwash' you too, won't I be left to fight alone?"

"I……"

The bespectacled young man struggled for a long time, but finally agreed reluctantly, "Then I'll go and take a look first."

"Remember to reply to me within today." Li Nansheng added.

After the two of them finished chatting, he hung up the phone decisively and put on the [Editor Resonator] again.

In fact, he didn't even think of it himself.

In the past, I only thought about making money by messing around, but one day I actually sincerely wanted to make a good game of my own.

'"Firebringer", and "Where is Suai"...you won.'

He muttered to himself.

…

Sunday.

After a day and two nights of fermentation.

Many netizens who pay more attention to the news in the gaming circle suddenly discovered that the news on the Internet about the new games of those second-tier game producers has gradually begun to stagnate. Even if the teams behind them operate more, they can't hide the increasing attention they receive.

The fact that it is coming lower and lower.

In contrast.

A game called "Ori and the Dark Forest" has been certified by many game anchors, game producers, and game masters. It has gradually come to the fore and begun to gain popularity in the game circle where all kinds of gossips are flying around.

Occupy its own place and continue to expand its influence.

Many netizens who originally knew the names He Chu and Yu Suai, but had not continued to follow them, did not discover until this moment that these two people had created a new game!

As a result, these out-of-the-way netizens also joined the team supporting "Ori and the Dark Forest".

——This is probably the benefit brought by increased visibility.

As long as the quality of the game is good enough, the effects of tap water among netizens will obviously become better and better in the future.

Also starting from this day, the popularity of "Ori and the Dark Forest" gradually began to overtake the popularity of all other new games in the gaming circle today.

The final collision between the new era and the old era in the gaming industry began unknowingly.

…

Sunday afternoon.

The four members of the game production team, except Tang Lin, met again at the "Songlu" dessert shop.

After sitting down, Liu Xiaoji couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone.

"The latest news is that six game media have reported on our game now!"

She swiped at the screen of her mobile phone twice, "And these reports are all positive. Even in the comment area below the article, there are basically no people who deliberately write negative reviews to cause trouble."

"What kind of game media are there?" Yu Suai poked her head in her direction.

"Well... they are all large-scale game media with good reputations, but I haven't seen anything said by the official game media so far." Liu Xiaoji directly handed the phone to Yu Suai.

"Today is Sunday, and the official game media will definitely not be working."

He Hu took a sip of juice and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "evil capitalists."

If it weren't for those profit-oriented capitalists, they might have had to wait a day or two before they could see articles about "Ori".

Emmm... people's joys and sorrows are really not the same.

——He actually shamefully agreed with such behavior.

Yu Suai took her mobile phone, walked close to He Xu, and checked the reviews of major game media with him.

…

[Excellent soundtrack, exquisite art and gorgeous performances make this fairy tale-like dreamy game no longer just a simple game. It should be a work of art, a beautiful work that brings together countless creative ideas.

artwork!】

["Ori and the Blind Forest" has more breadth, depth, and difficulty than it appears on the surface. Whether it is the gameplay or the plot of the game, "Ori" has reached a level that deeply touches the emotions and souls of players.

That level. This is the most basic level of "artwork" games, and it is also the most difficult level for conventional games to achieve.】

["Ori and the Dark Forest" has created a very unique horizontal platform action gameplay, which requires certain operations from the player, but it is not so difficult that it makes people feel desperate, but it will make most people enjoy it.

Although the game is a flat world, there are many elements in the map, and some hidden surprises will appear from time to time, which can keep players in a very novel state during the exploration process. This is a game with cross-era significance.

"Masterpiece"!】

…

When He Xu saw this, he couldn't stand it anymore.

These game media are so awesome!

Although most of the statements here are not problematic, but by praising them without leaving any room, aren't you preparing to leave a way for yourself in the future?

Not to mention other game producers, "Firebringer" will have another "artwork" to be released next!

"Is this an objective evaluation?" Yu Suai asked.

"I don't know whether it's objective or not. Anyway, the money must have been confiscated." He Jiu turned around and continued drinking juice.

In his opinion, in terms of game play, "Ori and the Dark Forest" is not that outstanding among Metroidvania-like games, it can only be considered average.

However, the overall quality of "Ori" is excellent enough, and the difficulty is not too high, so it is indeed suitable to be used as an introduction.

After that, he can stride forward in the direction of "torturing" players.

"But I didn't expect that the 'Fire Bearer' would actually come out and praise our game." Liu Xiaoji said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yu Suai turned her head and glanced at He Xu.

He Ji handed her a small piece of cake and smiled at her.

"I guess I'm just too busy."

Yu Suai took the cake and responded casually.

"Indeed." He Jiu nodded in agreement.

"Well...after all, we all make new types of games. It's not too strange that he would say a few words for us."

Lin Jieyu took over the topic and then said, "Compared to this, I'm actually more surprised that Li Nansheng also posted a recommendation message to help us promote the game."

"Ah?" The other three people showed confused expressions at the same time.

"Don't you all know?" Lin Jieyu asked curiously.

"I didn't follow his Weibo."

"I've already checked in."

"I don't like paying attention to strange handsome guys."

He Xu took a bite of the cake, took out his phone, and searched on Weibo.

Within a moment, he turned to the news posted by Li Nansheng last night.

Li Nansheng: I highly recommend the game "Ori and the Dark Forest". It is really a pleasure to play such a game.

In the comment area below this post, Li Nansheng's die-hard fans naturally responded enthusiastically.

Judging from the number of comments and forwards, it is estimated that many netizens will be attracted to buy "Ori and the Dark Forest".

‘I didn’t expect that one day we would be led by traffic stars...’

He Xu silently groaned in his heart, and then gave the other party a follow-up message.

But then again, he doesn't seem to have followed any beautiful female celebrities on Weibo.

Do you want to find an opportunity to balance the ratio of men to women in the watch list?

He secretly glanced at Yu Suai beside him, and finally suppressed the idea.

...It won’t be too late to pay attention to someone to work with in the future, but I won’t consider it for now.

"I remember that your previous games beat his games several times on the weekly new game hot list, right?"

Liu Xiaoji thought about it, "In this way, he is willing to help us promote the game, which feels quite grand."

"I think he is also preparing to start making new types of games, so he wants to express his attitude first and let his fans adapt in advance." Yu Suai guessed.

"Hmm... I feel like this statement is more reliable."

Lin Jieyu nodded, "People like Li Nansheng will definitely not help us for no reason."

He Xu raised his head and glanced at the three girls, then lowered his head and continued looking at his phone without participating in the chat.

——He just found Fang Yi’s new game trailer on Weibo.

Although not much about the content of the game has been revealed yet, judging from the limited information, it should be an in-depth game that discusses human nature and redemption.

The target should be a meaningful game like "Invisible Guardian".

This is probably the last resort for frontline game producers.

'If they can really come up with a game similar to Invisible Guardian...it doesn't really matter.'

He Xi thought silently in his heart.

After all, what he struggled with was never the text avg itself, but the whole world only had the text avg!

What those people want to tell in their next game is probably a story other than the game;

What he wants to tell in his next game is the story of the game itself.
