National Game Producer

The two were chatting there when Qin Mengjia on the other side suddenly raised her phone and shouted excitedly:

"'Hua Yao' has released a new game!"

Hearing this, everyone turned their gazes.

"A new game has been secretly released?"

"How come you haven't heard anyone mention what happened when?"

"Let me see, let me see... Hey, it turns out it was posted at noon?"

“Oh ho~ I like Miss ‘Hua Yao’’s game the most!”

…

Amid the lively discussion, Professor Lu turned to look at He Xi with a confused expression:

"Who is 'Hua Yao'?"

"Have you ever heard of the name "Slay the Spire"?" He Xiu asked.

“‘Slay the Spire’ was made by this person named ‘Hua Yao’?”

Professor Lu opened his mouth slightly, "I always thought that was your new game."

"..." He was silent.

In a sense, Professor, you have indeed guessed the truth.

"You haven't played this game before?"

"I'm getting ready to play, but it's not its turn yet."

"Then you have to study it carefully." He Xu chuckled.

"Oh, your evaluation is so high?" Professor Lu became interested.

"You'll know after you try it. I guarantee you won't be disappointed." He Jiu said seriously.

"Okay, since you said so, I'll go back and study it early."

Professor Lu nodded, paused for two seconds, and couldn't help but sigh, "If every game producer in the game circle has your level of thought, why worry about the game industry not progressing!"

"Ah?" He Xu looked at him in confusion.

"I'm referring to your attitude of being happy to make good games for your colleagues and not shying away from promoting games to others."

Professor Lu smiled and said, "If everyone adopts this mentality to play games, I feel that within a year, the gaming industry will undergo earth-shaking changes."

"emmm..." He Jiu didn't know what to say.

Isn’t this a normal player mentality?

Analyzing it from the perspective of a gamer, he has a far-fetched state of mind!

He is just an ordinary person.

However, he seemed unable to explain such a misunderstanding, so he could only selectively ignore it.

The two continued to chat for a while, and finally Professor Lu thought about going back to try out "Slay the Spire", so he said goodbye to everyone and hurriedly left the club activity room.

He Xu originally wanted to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by Qin Mengjia.

"Interview, what do you think of the new game of 'Hua Yao'?" Qin Mengjia asked with a smile.

"We'll talk about it after I try it," He Xu said calmly.

"Oh, do you have a sense of crisis in your heart?"

"...Why do we need to feel a sense of crisis?"

"I'm worried that her game sales will exceed yours, and her popularity will exceed yours!"

"No."

"Are you so confident?" Qin Mengjia was a little curious.

Generally speaking, people who stand in high places are more or less worried about being surpassed by equally outstanding people, right?

This cannot be said to be a lack of self-confidence, it is just the most basic sense of crisis for normal people.

"Well……"

He Xu opened his mouth and was about to explain, but suddenly stopped and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I can only say that her 'Isaac-like' gameplay of "Slay the Spire" is quite innovative."

"..." Qin Mengjia was stunned for a while when she heard this sentence before she realized what she was saying.

The other party seems to be looking at the efforts of the junior "Hua Yao" from the perspective of a senior?

But thinking about it carefully, this seems to be no problem...

After all, the other party has always been a pure pioneer, but "Hua Yao" is half a pioneer and half a learner.

"So you haven't thought about competing?" she asked.

"Well, we are all on our own, there is no need to compete."

"But the players on both sides don't seem to think so..."

"It's okay, the 'Fire Bearer' will make them understand." He Jiu showed a rather relaxed expression.

"What should we do specifically? Contact 'Hua Yao' and issue a joint statement with her?" Qin Mengjia asked.

This is perhaps the simplest, most direct, and most effective method.

As long as they issue a joint statement, the players should soon be able to live in peace.

"No."

He Xu smiled and shook his head, "We have to use games to prove it."

"Ah, prove it with a game?"

"Well... to be precise, it should be a completely new type of game to change public opinion."

"..."

Qin Mengjia thought for a moment, her expression a little confused, "You mean, you want to use this new game to convince the supporters of 'Hua Yao'?"

Isn’t this still competition?

However, the other party's method of competition is to use games to confront others openly, rather than using other means.

"Well, I have to stress again...this is indeed not a competition."

He Chu said seriously, "We just want players to see clearly how the gaming industry should develop in a healthy way."

"Good development?"

"It's the kind of development where everyone wants to work hard to make better games."

"emmm...that's a good idea."

Qin Mengjia hesitated, "But the gap between player groups may be much more serious than what we see on the surface... They may not necessarily accept this benign development as you think..."

After a pause, she continued to ask, "The most important thing is that this matter also requires the cooperation of 'Hua Yao' and other well-known game producers, right?"

In any case, she is also a top student at Qingda University, and it is more than enough to understand the meaning of the other party's words.

The other party's idea is probably... to work with other well-known game producers to use novel and high-quality games to create a grand scene in the gaming circle, so that players can realize that this kind of development is a truly healthy development.

The focus that players need to focus on should be what kind of better games the producers will make next, rather than the various tidbits about the producers, their popularity, etc.

in other words.

This actually allows players to supervise the producers in making games.

If the game is not done well, it will be eliminated by the players in the end.

——Players are responsible for supporting good games, and producers are responsible for making good games.

This is the most appropriate relationship between players and producers.

And once the player group once again forms a trend of supporting popular celebrities in the entertainment industry, then the so-called "competition" is expected to change quickly.

——Maybe players will focus on the quality of the game at first, but as they slowly develop feelings for the producer and form a bond with the producer, their attention to the quality of the game will unknowingly begin to change.

Dropped a lot.

By then, the gaming industry will probably return to the past environment where traffic in the entertainment industry is king, right?

Therefore, even if players want to continue to pay attention to game producers, they must also focus on the strength of the producers, and they cannot just pay attention to one producer.

The other party's idea is indeed very good, but if you want to actually implement it...

Will other game producers be willing to cooperate in doing this kind of thing that is likely to be "thankless"?

It must be difficult, right?

"They will cooperate." He Xu smiled.

Qin Mengjia opened her mouth slightly: "So sure?"

"Very sure." He Ji nodded.

At least "Hua Yao" and "Solar" are definitely "willing" to cooperate with him.

As for other well-known game producers...

He felt that there were many people he could win over.

…

at the same time.

A dessert shop outside Qingdao University.

Yu Suai and Tang Lin were sitting opposite each other, eating desserts and discussing about "Flower Shake".

About three minutes ago, both of them had already experienced the new game "Flower Shake" using the [Editing Resonator].

In their view, this game called "Darkest Dungeon" is, in a sense, an innovative game that stitches together several "Firebringer" games.

But just sew, it's not a big deal.

If the game is not well sewn, it will naturally be unable to escape public opinion about borrowing or even plagiarism;

But if the game is sewn well enough, it means "standing on the shoulders of giants" to innovate.

"Darkest Dungeon" obviously belongs to the latter.

Both of them felt that the quality of the two games produced by the other party was not inferior to most of the old games of "Firebringer".

From this point of view alone, the opponent's strength is a bit ridiculously strong.

"Now I'm beginning to doubt the true identity of 'Hua Yao'." Yu Suai thought thoughtfully.

"Do you suspect she is the new vest that He Ji mentioned before?" Tang Linrou asked with a smile.

"Don't you think it's suspicious?"

"Indeed... in terms of new types of games, it is really difficult for ordinary people to reach such heights as He Ji."

"Right, there's something really wrong with this newcomer's strength."

"Hmm, but it could also be that she is gifted... just like He Ji."

"Then I would rather believe that she is He Ji's new vest." Yu Suai frowned slightly.

It's not that she can't see others.

Rather, she felt that, taking all factors into consideration, the probability that the other party was gifted was far lower than the probability that the other party was He Ji Xin's vest.

If the other party is really talented, she doesn't believe that the other party would not show any clues before.

"Then let's look for any clues about 'Hua Yao' on He Xu?" Tang Lin asked.

"How to find it?"

"It's up to you."

"Well..." Yu Suai pondered for a moment.

If there is any way, I can only do what I did before, making random guesses and looking at electronic devices such as my mobile phone and [Editing Resonator].

Leaving aside the insinuations and other ways of finding loopholes in language, just looking at electronic devices, it would obviously be a bit outrageous for her to do so without the other party's consent first.

But if she had consulted the other party's opinion in advance, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving the other party a chance to hide?

In other words, she can focus on what kind of expression the other party will show when hearing her request?

Hmm... I feel like this method is feasible.

"How about we get in touch with 'Hua Yao'? After we get to know each other better, we can then ask for an offline meeting to exchange game production experiences... At the very least, we have to get through to her anyway.

A voice call, right? If she refuses even this request, it means she really has a problem." Tang Lin thought of another way.

"What a great idea!"

Yu Suai opened her eyes slightly and said excitedly, "Let's try this method first."

After saying that, she picked up the mobile phone on the table and started searching on Weibo.

Upon seeing this, Tang Lin put down the fork in her hand, wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, picked up her mobile phone, and helped search for information about "Hua Yao" online.

About five minutes later.

Yu Suai raised her head and looked at Tang Lin opposite.

"How are you doing there?"

"Except for the news about their cooperation with Jinlin Studio, the rest is basically blank."

Tang Lin shook her head, "Looking at her like this, I feel that she is both suspicious and not suspicious..."

"Don't you have her contact information?"

"No, where are you?"

"I didn't find it either... I guess I can only contact her on the official game platform."

Yu Suai wrinkled her nose, "With this style, it feels more and more like He Jiu is deliberately hiding himself."

"It looks similar to me." Tang Lin nodded.

Normal people usually register accounts on several social platforms when they go online, right?

Even if you don’t want to communicate too much with netizens, you still have to find a way to promote your game!

It would be a little too suspicious to just quietly release new games without doing any publicity.

"By the way, when I was looking for clues on Weibo just now, I saw news about her and us."

Yu Suai said and added, "Some players seem to be quarreling over our games again."

"They started arguing again about whether 'Hua Yao' will surpass 'Firebringer' in the future?"

Tang Lin pursed her lips and chuckled, then logged into Weibo on her mobile phone.

After browsing through it randomly, she found several updates about "Hua Yao" and "Fire Bearer".

["Hua Yao" just released a new game today, next we'll watch "Firebringer" [Come on]]

[Isn’t it true, “Hua Yao” is going to be a hit or miss? 】

[Both parties are excellent new-type game producers, so it’s normal to be compared, right? 】

[It’s not a big deal, but the two games of “Hua Yao” did draw inspiration from several games of “Firebringer”. There is no doubt about this. 】

[Based on the creativity and gameplay content of "Slay the Spire", do you think she is trying to cheat? As long as you are happy [eat the melon]]

[It’s almost okay, they themselves haven’t said anything yet, and fans are starting to jump in and out... Supporting your favorite game producers is not the way to support it! 】

[It tastes like a rice circle [eating melon]]

[Tsk, tsk, if the gaming industry continues like this, it will probably go back to its old ways~]

…

Tang Lin looked at it and unconsciously wiped away the smile on her face.

This situation seems to be getting worse and worse.

"I feel like if we don't think of a way to deal with it, something will happen sooner or later." Yu Suai said worriedly.

"What can you do?" Tang Lin looked up at her.

"Well... there is no way yet, but I think that by letting more game producers release fun new types of games, and then letting players fall in love with more than one game producer, we should be able to slightly reduce the contradiction in this aspect.

.”

Yu Suai thought, "Perhaps when players like more game producers, they will gradually focus only on the quality of the game itself and no longer have too much emotion towards the game producer?"

"...That makes sense." Tang Lin nodded thoughtfully.

"In short, what we need to do next is to make more players like our games." Yu Suai concluded.

In this way, at least more passerby players can stop targeting the "Firebringer".

——It just so happens that the new game "Firebringer" will be released in the next few days, which is a super popular game suitable for everyone to play.

This can probably be regarded as setting an example for other game producers in advance, right?
