National Game Producer

166 'Portal'

After the class officially started, the English teacher didn't say any more nonsense. He directly raised the [Editor Resonator] in his hand and said:

"Two days ago, I just got a game from my friend in Ancheng next door - a game that is very suitable for use in our English class..."

At this point, she paused deliberately and then asked, "There is a very famous game production team over there in Ancheng. Does anyone know about it?"

"It's the 'Fire Bearer'!" Xiaoyun immediately raised his hand and shouted.

"That's right, it's the 'Fire Bearer'."

The English teacher smiled and nodded, "Our game is actually based on a certain game of 'Firebringer', with a substantial original adaptation of the game content. Well... there seems to be other such adaptations.

A proper noun?"

"Is it a game module?" Xiaoyun asked aloud.

"Yes, it's a game module!"

The English teacher responded and turned to look at her with a smile, "This classmate is an old player!"

"Hehe~" Xiaoyun scratched his head, a little shy.

At the same time, she had roughly guessed that the game the other party was talking about was probably "The Sound of Mystery".

After all, when "The Sound of Mystery" was first released, many players were already playing English listening memes.

It is reasonable for a game like this to be used as an English class...what the hell!

Why is a game associated with English courses?

This makes it hard for her to play games in the future!

She turned her head to look at Susu beside her, and saw a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

"Today, let's try out the English listening version of 'Firebringer', the game of Mystery."

The English teacher smiled and asked, "You won't be reluctant if I ask you to play games in class, right?"

"..." The students in the classroom were silent.

The prerequisite for whether you are willing to do it or not is to see if the adapted game is fun.

If the game is not fun, then they would rather go to class normally.

Afterwards, the English teacher shared the game and let the students try it out on their own.

After Xiaoyun received the game, he directly copied a copy and gave it to Susu next to him.

"Actually, you don't have to give it to me..." Su Su said resentfully.

"Why don't you give it a try? It might be fun!" Xiaoyun persuaded and clicked on the game.

The so-called "The Sound of Mystery" [English listening version] is actually English teachers who used the game framework of "The Sound of Mystery" to create a suitable suspense script, and then replaced all the content in it with

English.

Except for the original plot and language, it can be said that there is basically no difference between it and the original "The Sound of Mystery".

Xiaoyun immersed himself in the game world, opened the original script produced by the teachers, and listened to the plot carefully.

Then...she felt something was wrong.

What's wrong is not the plot, but the dubbing and difficulty of the game.

This dubbing...

All I can say is that I am truly a professional English teacher, and it sounds like a listening test!

Just listening to this voice and tone makes most people feel painful;

Let’s talk about the difficulty of this game…

Are you sure this is a conversation that a freshman can understand?

Are you sure this script is difficult enough for newbies to practice on?

Do teachers think too highly of their students?

Xiaoyun looked at the probing question in the lower right corner of the screen with a confused look on his face, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Why did the originally good English class suddenly become like this?

"Fire Bearer", you have done all kinds of bad things!

"Fire Bearer", you are doing great harm to others!

She decided to be a fan of the "Fire Bearer" for a day and scold him severely!

…

In fact, when Xiaoyun was painfully doing "The Sound of Mystery" [English listening version], many people were already discussing this issue on the Internet.

In the female private circle of "Fire Spreader" on Weibo, someone obtained the teacher's permission and uploaded "The Sound of Mystery" [English listening version] directly to the circle.

Not long after the game was successfully uploaded, a lot of female college students suffered from it.

[How come someone is spreading this in the circle? It’s not class time now!]

[I just played this in English class in the morning, and people almost went crazy!]

[Play? This is obviously an advanced version of English listening!]

[Me too, our English teacher also asked us to play this yesterday, it was simply torture!]

[Hey, you have all played it before. I thought this was only available in Qinglin Province~[Chigua]]

[I haven’t played it, but I have an English class in the afternoon, and the teacher asked us to bring [Edit Resonator]...]

[Then it must be because I was playing this and didn’t run away, sorry~]

[@火狐者, how can you authorize the game! Doesn’t your conscience hurt? 】

[I almost forgot the culprit! @火狐者, come out and apologize! 】

[How about letting He Zhu dress up as a woman to apologize [dog head]]

[Great idea, women’s clothing! Women’s clothing! [Yeah]]

[It’s decided, I’m going to be a fan of “Fire Bearer” for a day, see if I don’t make him a hot topic today! 】

[Add me, I will also curse a few words! 】

…

Before Xu Wennuo started the live broadcast in the evening, he took a stroll in the female private circle, and what he saw was such a chaotic scene.

What’s even more outrageous is that the girls said they wanted to call the “Fire Bearer” a hot topic, and a topic called “The Fire Bearer’s English Listening Version of Mystery” really hit the micro-blog.

No. 10 on the blog’s hot topic list!

Under this topic, students who had been tortured by the game accused the "Firebringer" as the culprit.

For a time, the "fire bearer" seemed to have really become the public enemy of the students.

Xu Wennuo smiled after reading several popular updates and couldn't help but send two WeChat messages to He Qin.

Xu Wennuo: Congratulations on your popularity again [Chigua].

Xu Wennuo: I want to interview you. How does it feel to be hated by all the female college students on the Internet?

He Jiu: I don’t really hate it, so how can I feel about it?

He Jiu: Don't gloat about others' misfortune. Sooner or later it will be your turn [eating melon seeds].

Xu Wennuo: [dumb]

Xu Wennuo: You can’t run away either!

He Ji: I don’t run. I quite like this way of learning.

Xu Wennuo: [smile]

Xu Wennuo: So you have this attribute.

He Jiu:[Black question mark]

Xu Wennuo: When will your new game be released?

He Jiu: It’s still being worked on. It should be released before the end of the summer vacation.

Xu Wennuo: Will it take so long?

He Jiu: This is a big production, so it will definitely take more time.

Winno Hsu: Bigger than "Ori and the Dark Forest" and "The Stanley Parable"?

He Jiu: Big, much bigger!

Xu Wennuo: Remember to give me a trial in advance!

He Ji: Remember to treat us to a meal.

Xu Wennuo: [suffocated]

After sending the message, she dropped her phone and turned around to prepare for the live broadcast.

Regarding the two-player cooperative puzzle-solving feature of the new game "Firebringer", she is not worried at all that anything will happen.

The worst that can happen is just like how I supported "Forest" before, I'll try it again with other people!

Today's players know exactly what kind of game they want.

The words of authority are no longer convincing...

…

Time soon came to early August.

Two o'clock in the afternoon, "Songlu" dessert shop.

In front of four girls, He Ji posted the new game to the official game platform and submitted it for review.

When they saw the words "under review" displayed on the mobile phone page, the five people couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Finally done~"

Liu Xiaoji hummed, stretched, and asked casually, "Then should we prepare the next game?"

After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to her.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Liu Xiaoji asked hesitantly when he saw this.

"Don't you want to rest for a few more days?" Lin Jieyu beside her asked with a strange look on her face.

Isn't this girl too energetic?

“It’s been quite easy for us to make games in the past two months!”

Liu Xiaoji wondered, "I only work a total of five or six hours a day, and the rest of the time is spent playing around. It's much more free than when I was at school... Don't you guys have enough fun like this?"

Everyone: "..."

"It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it." He Xiu said thoughtfully.

"Do you really want to continue working on the next game?" Lin Jieyu turned to look at him.

"It depends on what you mean." He Xu shook his head.

"I really want to continue doing it." Yu Suai said.

"I don't care." Tang Lin smiled softly, still showing her obedient attitude.

In order to make it easier to play games, after the college entrance examination, she selected several suitable rental houses in Ancheng early, and moved here directly after the college entrance examination results came out.

Now, she should be the first person in the team to settle down.

"I agree to continue." Liu Xiaoji raised his hand.

He Xi finally turned his attention to Lin Jieyu.

"Actually, I don't care." Lin Jieyu said helplessly.

"Okay, let's keep doing it."

He Xu smiled, tapped the table with his fingers, and thought, "Next, we can make another action game similar to "Ori and the Dark Forest"."

"Shouldn't we continue to improve "Minecraft"?" Yu Suai asked.

"There is no need to release games that can be played online too frequently."

He Xu shook his head, "During this period, we must also promote the development of other types of games."

"Other types of games?" Everyone asked in confusion.

"There is still a long way to go for action games," He Xu said with a smile.

Before making a 3D action game, he still had to make the "Year One Tour" side-scrolling action game.

…

Official game platform, review department.

After auditor Fang Lingyan saw the new game "Firebringer", he immediately informed Team Leader Yang of the team.

Within a moment, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses and a serious expression quickly came to her side.

"Is it really a two-player cooperative puzzle game?" Team Leader Yang asked.

"right."

Fang Lingyan nodded, "And like "The Forest", you can invite friends online."

"Invite friends online..."

Team Leader Yang frowned slightly, and then couldn't help but sigh, "The 'Fire Bearer' finally embarked on this path."

After all, they are just a few kids who have just graduated from high school, doing everything with passion...

"What should we do next?" Fang Lingyan asked.

The other party originally told her to inform the other party when she reviewed the new game "Firebringer".

She didn't know what the other party was planning.

"Let's review it together." Team leader Yang said calmly.

"Ah?" Fang Lingyan was a little confused.

"Since it is a two-player cooperative puzzle game, two people must review it together, right?"

"...Would this be too time-consuming?"

"Audits are never time-consuming!"

Team leader Yang said seriously, "We must take such a game seriously!"

"Hmm..." Fang Lingyan responded.

It seems that Team Leader Yang is very biased against this game... She didn't even know the specific content of this game, so she just called it "such a game".

Is it really okay to review this way?

"Come to my office and let's play the game together." Team leader Yang greeted and turned back to his office.

Fang Lingyan tidied up her workstation a little, took the [Editing Resonator], stood up, and followed silently.

Team Leader Yang saw her coming in and pulled her to sit on the sofa nearby.

"Pass the game to me."

"Okay...well, there is one more thing I want to report to you."

"What?" Team Leader Yang quickly put on the [Editor Resonator] hat and VR glasses.

"This game also has a single-player story mode." Fang Lingyan whispered.

"individual……"

Team Leader Yang's hand movements paused slightly, "Single player story mode?"

She took off her VR glasses with a surprised look on her face, "What mode is this?"

"You can think of it as an independent plot game." Fang Lingyan explained.

"..."

Team Leader Yang thought for two seconds and then slowly came to his senses, "You mean, the new game of 'Firebringer' actually includes a single-player story game and a two-player cooperative puzzle game.

...can these two games be independent of each other?"

"That's it." Fang Lingyan nodded.

"What...what are they trying to do?" Team Leader Yang was confused.

We have made both a single-player story game and a two-player online game...

...Is this an attempt to please all players?

Is this idea a little too naive?

"Team Leader Yang, what do you think..." Fang Lingyan asked tentatively.

"Continue to review this two-player cooperative puzzle mode. You can just review the single-player story mode by yourself later."

Team Leader Yang said and put on the VR glasses again.

Just review it casually...

Team leader, do you want to have such double standards?

Fang Lingyan silently put on the [Editor Resonator] hat and VR glasses, and passed the new game "Fire Bearer" to Team Leader Yang beside him.
