National Game Producer

192 The domestic game circle is completely over

In fact, just from the frequency with which Linhua plays games, we can roughly tell that she is someone who doesn't like to play games very much.

For her, games are just the lowest means to relax and change her mood.

Compared to playing games, she prefers reading books, watching TV shows, and participating in some outdoor activities.

Only when she really has nothing to do on weekends will she play games for a while.

Her impression of games still remains on those purely plot-oriented text adventure games.

"Sister Linhua, you have graduated from college for more than a year."

Ayana Kiyohara purchased and downloaded "Stardew Valley" on Neon's official game platform, and then directly clicked into the game.

"Huh?" Linhua didn't understand what she wanted to express.

"This game may be a bit childish for children, but for adults, it's just right." Ayana Kiyohara explained seriously.

"...Is that so?" Linhua looked confused.

"Of course, you will know after playing it." Kiyohara Ayana said with a smile.

In fact, this game is not childish at all for children.

Because children may not be able to digest the complex information content.

"Oh, what should I do?" Linhua asked.

"Wait a minute, I will create a farm first, and then I will find my friends to play with." Qingyuan Ayana said.

"your friend?"

"A roommate I met when I was studying abroad."

"Oh..." Linhua responded softly.

A game that three people can play together...

She always felt weird and a bit unimaginable.

Soon, Ayana Kiyohara established a standard farm.

She added Xiaoxi and Linhua as game friends, sent game invitations to both of them, and then pulled them into the same chat group.

The game officially begins.

With the help of Kiyohara Ayana, Xiaoxi, and the novice tutorial, Rinka quickly learned some basic operations in the game, and at the same time, she gradually understood what she should do in the game.

Weed weeds, dig rocks, clear the land, sow seeds, water the fields...

"Is this really a farm management game?" Linhua asked in surprise.

She never thought that one day she would be able to experience real farm life in the game!

Isn’t this game too special?

"Yes, otherwise what kind of game do you think it would be?" Qingyuan Ayana asked.

"I thought it was a purely plot-based game of house."

"How can three people play a purely story-driven game together?"

"...That's right." Linhua responded thoughtfully.

After becoming familiar with the entire game world, the three began to build the farm in an orderly manner.

Hmm... To be precise, it should be Ayana Kiyohara and Xiaoxi who are building the farm with Rinka.

However, as the game time went by, two people who had played "Stardew Valley" for nearly a hundred hours unconsciously became immersed in the game world.

——A good enough game has the charm to immerse players in it at any time.

Well...this is the theory they summarized themselves.

Time passes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it’s twelve o’clock at midnight.

With her strong will, Linhua successfully broke away from the world of "Stardew Valley" and took off her VR glasses.

Well... although she has been trying to end the game since ten o'clock in the night.

"Do you want to continue playing tomorrow?" Kiyohara Ayana asked.

"...Can I do it tomorrow?" Linhua asked hesitantly.

"Of course you can. Anyway, Xiaoxi and I have nothing to do these two days." Kiyohara Ayana said with a smile.

Although she returned to China for a long vacation, it was not to play games all day long.

But when someone is willing to play games with her, she doesn't want to run around anymore.

How can shopping be more interesting than playing games!

"Then let's go down tomorrow...and continue tomorrow night?" Linhua asked tentatively.

In fact, she still doesn't know what the charm of the game "Stardew Valley" is.

However, this did not prevent her from being completely addicted to it, and at the same time she did not want to stop.

She feels that this game is different from other domestic games she has played.

They are like games belonging to two worlds, and ordinary people can hardly see any similarities between the two.

"You can also continue tomorrow morning." Kiyohara Ayana suggested.

"...Wouldn't this be bad?" Linhua hesitated.

She felt that this seemed a bit too indulgent...

"Sister Rinka, don't you want to continue playing?"

"think……"

"If you want to play, just continue playing early."

"Well……"

"And even though we are addicted, it won't do us any harm!"

Ayana Kiyohara explained, “When we were in elementary school and middle school, in order to improve our mental strength, we had to force ourselves to play games. Now we are addicted to games and enjoying games, and we can also improve our mental strength.

Strength, this can be regarded as making up for the lack of our childhood."

"Well, it doesn't seem to make sense, but it's hard to refute..." Linhua blinked.

"..." Qingyuan Ayana was speechless.

"Well... let's continue playing tomorrow morning." Linhua thought for a while and finally accepted the other party's proposal.

Firstly, she really has nothing to do tomorrow;

Secondly, she really wanted to continue playing.

The other party's words of "no harm" convinced her.

Being addicted to games really shouldn't be a psychological burden for people in this world.

"Okay~" Kiyohara Ayana laughed happily.

"By the way, which studio made this game? It feels so strong and creative!" Linhua asked.

"It was done by the 'Firebringer' team." Qingyuan Ayana replied.

"'Firebringer'? What a strange name..." Linhua whispered while searching on the Internet.

She did this out of personal curiosity and wanted to know a little bit about the background and achievements of this team.

"They are from the mainland." Qingyuan Ayana added.

"Ah?" Rin didn't react for a while.

“‘Firebringer’ is a mainland team.”

Ayana Kiyohara patiently explained, "The games they put on our Neon official game platform are all old games they made in the past year. Well... I guess they just finished making multi-language versions recently.

Let’s sell it on our platform here.”

"The mainland team..." Linhua looked confused, "Isn't it a domestic team?"

"We don't have such a powerful team in China." Kiyohara Ayana shook her head.

"Does their team have many other games?" Rinka then asked.

"Yes, you can see it by logging into their developer homepage. I remember there are nearly ten models."

"Nearly ten models...so many?"

"Well, the 'Firebringer' team makes games not only with high quality, but also with extremely high efficiency... The time it takes an ordinary studio to make one game is enough for them to make two to three high-quality games."

Kiyohara Ayana explained proudly.

She didn't know what she was proud of.

She just felt that it seemed to be a very honorable thing to say something good about her favorite team in front of her cousin, proving the strength of this team and proving that she was a loyal player of this team.

She would be proud that people like the game "Firebringer".

Perhaps, this is the so-called spiritual shareholder?

"is that so?"

Linhua doubtfully put on the [Editor Resonator] again and asked, "What other games do they have that are as fun as "Stardew Valley"?"

"all."

"all?"

"Yes, so as long as you see the game type or theme you like, just choose to buy it. I guarantee you won't suffer any loss." Kiyohara Ayana responded with a chuckle.

"Oh, then this Ace Attorney..."

"purchase!"

"The world in the painting..."

"purchase!"

The night passed quickly.

When Ayana Kiyohara woke up the next morning, she found her cousin Rinka next to her, still wearing the [Editor Resonator] and playing games there motionless.

Ayana Kiyohara was frightened.

"Sister Rinka, didn't you sleep all night?"

"I went to bed, I just got up." Lin replied concisely and concisely.

"What time did you go to bed last night?"

"About three o'clock."

"..." Kiyohara Ayana lowered her head and glanced at the time on her phone.

Six fifty in the morning.

This shows that the other party slept for less than four hours.

"Sister Linhua..."

"Yeah, I know, I will play "Stardew Valley" with you later."

"..."

Ayana Kiyohara didn’t know what to say.

Although she said last night, there is nothing wrong with being addicted to games.

But it doesn’t seem right to be addicted to games like the other person, right?

Does the game "Firebringer" really have such great charm?

Um...okay.

It does seem to have great charm.

Does she harm her cousin by doing this?

This night, like Rinhua, there were many neon people who were addicted to the "Firebringer" game.

It was as if overnight, the only "new" game left in the entire Neon gaming circle was the "Firebringer" game.

In the game sections of some social platforms, countless players are discussing related topics.

[I just finished "The Stanley Parable" two days ago with my computer translation at noon and Chinese for beginners... Needless to say, "The Firebringer" is a god in my mind!]

[Finally there is a Neon language, and it is still on Neon’s official game platform...Thank you, "Firebringer"! 】

[This is the first time I came into contact with this team’s game. Has the level of game production in mainland China reached such a high level now... Those domestic teams, what are you doing!]

[I feel that the gap is too big, and China can no longer catch up~]

[Don’t we still have “Solar”? The game “Solar” is not bad either! 】

["Solar" is also from the mainland...]

[The domestic gaming industry is completely finished...]

[Ya Bai, the game played by the team "Firebringer" is great!

Al, they are a team from the mainland??]

【We need neon words!

!Hey, isn’t this the official game platform of the mainland? Did I go to the wrong place? But why are there so many mainland games here? 】

【We need to reflect carefully~】

Except for some pure players who praise "Firebringer", most of the others are wailing and emotional players who hate the fact that iron cannot become steel. There are probably many relatively powerful game producers among them.

If we say that the game "Solar" is a "creation game" that breaks Neon people's perception of games;

Then, the game "Firebringer" is the "pioneer game" that created a prosperous era for the neon game circle.

The fire of change has been burning in this land.

the other side.

On the other side of the sea.

As soon as He Xu finished lunch, he received a call from Chen Jiliang, the provincial department.

"How's it going? Is the translation pretty good? The old game is selling like hot cakes on Neon!" Chen Jiliang said happily.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Chen and the translation teachers."

He Chu smiled and expressed his gratitude, "Next, we will wait for feedback from other language areas."

Although those old games were released on official game platforms in various countries around the world at almost the same time.

But Neon, after all, has the foundation of new types of games accumulated by "Solar", and players' response and acceptance of new types of games are much faster than normal.

As for other language areas, it is estimated that it will take a day or two of accumulation and fermentation to see the results.

"When this step of the plan is almost completed, you can move on to the next step." Chen Jiliang continued.

"Next step plan?" He Jiu repeated doubtfully.

"Then we have to wait until we have almost translated all your old games before we start implementing it."

Chen Jiliang chuckled and said, "Didn't I make a condition with you before, saying that you have to wait for your new game to be available on the domestic shelves for three months before I am allowed to put the new game on foreign game platforms?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" He Xun asked confused.

He can understand that this is to ensure the superiority of domestic players, and at the same time, it can attract players from other countries to play games on domestic game platforms... and even stimulate the enthusiasm of foreigners to learn Chinese.

This should be regarded as a means to achieve multiple goals with one stone.

"We plan to update the multi-language version of your new game on the official domestic game platform in advance without changing this arrangement." Chen Jiliang explained with a smile.

"Update the multi-language versions of new games in China in advance..."

He Ji paused for a moment and quickly responded, "Do you want to turn the domestic official game platform into a major international game platform?"

Rather than asking foreign players to come to domestic game platforms to play raw Chinese games, it is obviously more attractive to let them come directly to play games in their own language.

And when those serious foreign players discovered that if they wanted to play the new game "Firebringer" in their own country, they had to wait three months to play the new game "Firebringer" on the domestic game platform.

, it seems self-evident what they will choose without even waiting a minute.

"How about it? Do you want to cooperate with us?" Chen Jiliang asked with a smile.

"You are so insidious..."

He Xu whispered, and then curled his lips, "But who told us to have already boarded your pirate ship?"

Gradually changing the choice of game platforms used by foreign players...

This is so heartbreaking!
