National Game Producer

In the next three days.

There are no more masterpieces in the gaming industry.

Therefore, players’ discussion of “Darkest Dungeon” still dominates the mainstream trend in the circle.

Moreover, most players focus on the difficult gameplay strategy of "Darkest Dungeon".

Discussions about game plots seem to have become less indispensable.

After the official release of "Hollow Knight", some serious game players collectively participated in the discussion, and the proposal to create a professional game encyclopedia and forum has been implemented by several big players!

Nowadays, a slightly rudimentary but vibrant professional game forum has entered the sight of most players.

In the forum called "New Era of Games", loyal players of dozens of new types of games have established their own game sections in the past half month for everyone to share strategies and discuss plots.

etc.

Among all the divisions, the divisions of the three games "Hollow Knight", "Slay the Spire", and "Darkest Dungeon" should be the three most lively divisions in the forum currently.

And taking advantage of the fact that the new game has just been released for a few days, the "Darkest Dungeon" division has naturally become the leader in popularity.

If nothing else goes wrong, the current momentum of "Darkest Dungeon" should be maintained for at least another week.

After a week, its heat will slowly drop and return to where it should be.

However, the accident happened exactly three days later, on Thursday.

——"Firebringer" suddenly announced on major social platforms that "a new game will be released at 12 noon tomorrow".

As soon as the news came out, the gaming community, which had been slowly calming down, was once again in a frenzy.

Players have begun to look forward to it. With more and more outstanding new-type game producers appearing in the gaming circle, what new games will "Firebringer" use to maintain its position in the circle?

If the new game of "Firebringer" is not satisfactory, or not as good as "Darkest Dungeon" of "Hua Yao", will he fall directly from the altar?

Some players with darker thoughts would really like to see such a scene.

…

Official game platform, review department.

Auditor Fang Lingyan immediately received the new game uploaded by "Firebringer".

——This can also be regarded as a green channel opened by the review department for "fire bearers".

As long as it is a new game uploaded by the other party, they will receive the notification immediately and review it first.

Although the most basic review process cannot be skipped, the review tolerance achieved by "Firebringer" is unmatched by other game producers.

Generally speaking, as long as it is a normal-sized game, they will basically just take a second look at it and let it pass the review.

This time will not even exceed two minutes.

In other words, if "Firebringer" has just uploaded the game, then goes to the bathroom and comes back, he will probably receive the news that the game has been reviewed.

It is estimated that there are not even ten game producers in the entire gaming industry who can receive such preferential treatment.

Fang Lingyan took a look at the general situation of "Minecraft" and was about to let it pass the review, but suddenly stopped.

...She saw the word "multiplayer".

Multiplayer online?

"Firebringer" made another online game...and it also jumped directly from two-player online to multi-player online?

Fang Lingyan only hesitated for half a second before telling Team Leader Yang of his team about the incident.

Half a minute later, she followed the instructions and came to Team Leader Yang's office with the [Editor Resonator] in hand.

Team Leader Yang motioned for her to sit down on the sofa, and then asked calmly: "'Firebringer' has made a multiplayer online game?"

"Yes...and it's a multiplayer online game without a plot." Fang Lingyan nodded.

"A multiplayer online game without plot..." Team Leader Yang frowned slightly.

Although she has received notification from her superiors, she knows that the new type of game has a special classification and review system and will soon enter the trial phase.

By then, the platform will definitely be tolerant to online games with no/weak plots.

In other words, they may no longer have to worry about the review of online games with no/weak plots.

But... after all, it's not time to trial the new system yet.

If "Firebringer" was a multiplayer online game with a plot, she could still turn a blind eye;

But what the other party was doing was a multiplayer online game without a plot... This made her a little confused what to do.

Agree to go through review?

Not to mention that this approach directly violates the rules and regulations of the audit department.

Just saying that the non-plot multiplayer online game "Firebringer" is now allowed to appear on the official game platform will undoubtedly expose the double standards of their review department and even their game platform.

Why can "Firebringer" games pass review at will, but games from other producers cannot?

Does the official game platform deliberately favor "Firebringer"?

You don’t even act anymore, do you?

Although everyone knows the answer behind this, the official's double-standard attitude will eventually cause some small controversy...or a huge controversy.

Most of the time, they cannot offend public opinion;

Then refuse to go through trial?

But the other party is the "fire bearer" after all!

The impact of their refusal to go through trial will probably be far greater than they imagined.

It’s not okay to agree, it’s not okay to refuse, emmm…

"Should we try it out first?" Fang Lingyan asked.

"Yeah... okay." Team leader Yang thought for a moment and nodded.

No matter what, the game still needs to be reviewed.

If the quality of the game is not up to par, then they may justifiably refuse to pass the review.

If the quality passes...then think of another way.

After the two discussed it, they each put on the [Editor Resonator] and lay down on the sofa.

Fang Lingyan shared the game with Team Leader Yang, and then the two entered the game together.

""Minecraft"... the name seems a bit confusing, doesn't it?" Team Leader Yang whispered.

"According to the introduction of 'Firebringer', it seems to be an open world game." Fang Lingyan explained.

"Open world?"

"We can go wherever we want."

"Similar to us in reality?"

"Well...that's understandable."

"In this case, the game plot is indeed a bit difficult to design." Team leader Yang said thoughtfully.

While talking, Fang Lingyan has already created a new game.

The two officially entered "Minecraft".

When Team Leader Yang saw the true face of the game world, some long-standing memories suddenly came to her mind.

"Isn't this the block game that appeared in "The Stanley Parable"?" she asked in surprise.

"Yes." Fang Lingyan chuckled and responded, "Including "Portal", "Firebringer" has now produced two new games in "The Stanley Parable"."

"So, this is actually a game he has planned for a long time..." Team Leader Yang murmured.

Thinking about it this way, the layout of "Fire Bearer" is really long-term.

…

"Minecraft" is very easy to get started with.

Players can basically know most of the gameplay operations in the game as long as they follow the novice tutorial.

After that, it’s time for players to play freely.

"What should we do next?"

After Team Leader Yang completed a few extremely simple teaching operations for novices, he soon fell into confusion.

Lacking plot and mission guidance, she had no idea what she should do.

This feeling was similar to when she was struggling with what to eat for lunch.

"Hmm... I guess we should be able to find a good place with beautiful scenery nearby and slowly build our own home like in the game "Forest", right?" Fang Lingyan thought about it.

"Oh, you mean wilderness survival?"

Team Leader Yang reacted instantly, "Listening to what you said, it seems that this game can indeed be played like this!"

In other words, the early stage of this game itself should be such a survival gameplay.

"Then let's build a shelter first?" Fang Lingyan asked.

"Okay, I'll chop some [wood]." Team leader Yang responded.

After saying that, she walked to the nearby woods and started chopping down the trees with the [wooden ax] in her hand.

While chopping, she suddenly thought of a question.

It seems like you are just here to review the game?

Why did you suddenly start playing games seriously?

Hmm... maybe she should just end the review after building the shelter?

"Team leader, do you think we should build a nicer shelter?" Fang Lingyan asked.

"Can this game make the shelter complex?" Team Leader Yang asked rhetorically.

"I took a look at the various items that can be synthesized with [wooden boards], and I feel that we can build some beautiful buildings by building blocks." Fang Lingyan replied.

"Okay, then let's give it a try."

"Well, then we may need a lot of [wood]..."

"You set it up over there first, and I will send the [wood] over later."

"Okay, thank you, team leader."

…

The two divided the work and cooperated, and they were busy for a while.

Time soon came to evening in the game world.

When Team Leader Yang returned to the home chosen by Fang Lingyan with a pile of wood, she found that the other party had already built a square wooden "matchbox".

"Is this what you said, a 'slightly nicer shelter'?" Team Leader Yang's mouth twitched.

Calling such a shelter a house might be a bit of an overstatement.

"We can live here first and expand slowly later."

Fang Lingyan said, picking up another [wooden door] and placing it on the only gap in the "matchbox", "I just tried it and found that this door can be opened and closed... This will make it more homey."

Feel it."

After saying that, she knocked on the [Wooden Door] with her hand, and the [Wooden Door] automatically opened instantly; she knocked on the [Wooden Door] again, and the [Wooden Door] closed automatically in an instant.

"Isn't it abnormal that the door can't be opened and closed?" Team Leader Yang pushed open the [wooden door] and walked into the "Matchbox".

"But this is the door I made myself... I built a house like this using building blocks. As a result, many objects in this house can interact... Team leader, don't you think it's a wonderful feeling?

?" Fang Lingyan asked.

"Well..." Team Leader Yang took a look at the situation inside the "matchbox".

The four walls, ceiling, and floor are all made of [wooden boards].

In the corner of the wall on the left, there is a [Workbench], and a [Torch] is inserted into the wall above the [Workbench].

Other than that, there is nothing inside the "matchbox".

...Oh, there is also a [wooden step] at the entrance.

This may have been synthesized by Fang Lingyan, and is the only decorative item.

However, I have to say that when the sky outside is completely dark, staying in such a "matchbox" with faint light can indeed give people a sense of security...and an extremely weak feeling of home.

Perhaps this is the difference between the houses built by players themselves and the houses provided in the game.

"By the way, I just used [wooden boards] to synthesize a [button], and it turns out that this [button] seems to have many different functions!" Fang Lingyan said excitedly.

"Does it have many functions?" Team leader Yang asked.

"Well...I have only discovered one of its functions for the time being."

Fang Lingyan lowered her voice with some guilt, then quickly ran to the door, placed the button in her hand on a wooden board next to the door, "Team leader, look, as long as I press this [button]..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to press the [button].

The next second, with a soft "click" sound, the [wooden door] next to it opened.

"...the door will open automatically!" she said excitedly.

"Huh?" Team Leader Yang opened his eyes slightly.

She was indeed a little surprised by this development.

This game has actually achieved this level of detail?

Installing a random [button] next to the door can actually control the opening and closing of the door?

Does this mean that players can use the [Button] to do more things?

Team Leader Yang unconsciously became more interested in this game.

Originally, she was thinking that after visiting the "Matchbox", the review would be almost over.

Now it seems……

"How many types of items can be synthesized in this game?" she asked.

"I don't know... Anyway, every time I get a new material, the system will prompt me that there are new items that can be synthesized."

Fang Lingyan considered, "Tell me, does this mean that as long as there are enough raw materials in the game, we can synthesize countless kinds of items...

"And the key is that almost all items synthesized from raw materials can be synthesized...for example, use [wood] to synthesize [wooden plank], then use [wooden plank] to synthesize [wooden stick], and finally use [wooden stick] to synthesize

【Woodboard】, can be synthesized into production tools.”

"Well, if that's the case, then this game is really interesting..." Team Leader Yang became even more excited after hearing this.

She suddenly wanted to see exactly what items could be synthesized in this game, and... to what extent they could be synthesized.

Could it be that this game can also synthesize some modern items?
