National Game Producer

195 Don't quit the game too early

"Any other games you recommend?" Dean then asked.

"Well...if you're not short of money, you can buy all the English versions of the 'Firebringer' games."

Rong Xiaobin thought about it, "Their team's games, even if they don't focus on other content and only focus on the creative part of the game, are enough for us to learn and study for a long time."

"OK, I get it."

Dean nodded, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Besides the game 'Firebringer', are there any other games from producers in your country that people can learn from?"

"Well……"

Rong Xiaobin thought for a while, frowned and said, "I remember there is a game producer named 'Solar', and his games are quite creative, but..."

"But what?" Dean looked at him.

"You can try the game called "Mirror" in my inventory first."

Rong Xiaobin said calmly, "Although it does not have an English version, this does not affect your ability to experience its core gameplay."

""Mirror"?" Dean muttered the word in a low voice while putting on the [Editor Resonator] again.

He always felt that something was wrong with the other person's expression.

Is there something wrong with this game?

After adjusting the equipment, he quickly opened the game.

Then……

He experienced a very subtle sense of social death.

Let your roommate watch you play with Little Butter?

He has spent most of his life learning to play games, how could he have ever experienced such an outrageous thing!

He immediately wanted to quit the game.

However, when he realized that this was a little butter, he had already played more than half of the game.

...He was a little reluctant to let go of the great situation that he was about to win.

So, he gritted his teeth and persisted until the end of the game.

"How do you feel?" Rong Xiaobin asked at the right time.

"...It's a very special gameplay. It's different from previous games." Dean analyzed it carefully, pretending to be calm.

"You can try his second game, which is called "Human Fall Flat"." Rong Xiaobin recommended.

"Human Fall Flat?"

Dean repeated it in a low voice, and then asked with a warning look on his face, "Is this game serious?"

"Don't worry, this is a serious game." Rong Xiaobin smiled.

"you sure?"

"If it's not serious, but it has creative gameplay like "Mirror", wouldn't you stop playing it?"

"That's right." Dean thought for a while, and finally found the game "Human Fall Flat" and clicked on it.

He also hasn’t experienced this game for too long.

After stumbling through a level, he took off the [Editing Resonator].

Before he spoke, Rong Xiaobin took the lead in explaining:

"This is a game that can be played online by multiple people, and the fun is mainly in solving puzzles in multi-player online games, so it may be a little boring when played alone."

"Multiplayer online game..."

Dean thought for a few seconds and quickly understood the meaning of the term, "Is this a more social game?"

"Yes." Rong Xiaobin nodded.

"But I think its single-player experience seems pretty good," Dean said.

"Maybe it's because you haven't played too many new types of games?" Rong Xiaobin guessed.

"..."

Dean thought for a while and finally decided to change the topic, "Are the games made by Solar all special games with a gray nature like this?"

In his opinion, Little Butter and social games without plots are undoubtedly gray games that cannot be put on the market.

Although they will not be banned, they are indeed difficult to be accepted by the mainstream market.

...At least this is true in the beautiful country.

In daily life, not many people would play these games with their friends, right?

"Absolutely... His third game is a multiplayer online game with savage elements. It is bloody and violent, but has no sense of immersion in the plot. It is entirely supported by creative gameplay." Rong Xiaobin explained.

"Oh... then Mr. Solar must be a geek." Dean nodded thoughtfully.

"How do you think he compares with the 'Fire Bearer'?" Rong Xiaobin asked.

"No comparison." Dean shook his head, "He is far worse than the 'Firebringer'."

After a pause, he added, "Let me learn how to make new types of games for a few months, and I may not lose to him."

"Indeed." Rong Xiaobin responded, "When everyone becomes familiar with the production of new types of games, producers like Solar who succeed by making gray games will completely lose their advantage."

He couldn't help but smile, "By then, there should be many 'Sorals' in the gaming industry around the world?"

"'Soral' is not the goal of the game producers, only 'Firebringer' is."

Dean was convinced, "Reaching the level of Solar is not something worth showing off to."

"Okay." Rong Xiaobin shrugged.

After this conversation with the other party, he seemed to feel that "Soral" was indeed nothing special.

Perhaps, after two years of hard work in the field of new types of games, he can surpass "Solar"?

Hey, I'm quite looking forward to it when I think about it.

…

Time passes slowly.

December has arrived before we know it.

The He Ju team’s new game production is slowly coming to an end.

Um……

To be precise, the production of the new game "Soral" should be coming to an end.

And the new game "Firebringer"...

They are already planning to postpone the ticket to next year.

To be honest, even He Jiu didn't expect that making this new game of "Solar" would actually take so much time and effort... Should it be said that it really deserves to be a medium-sized game?

Even making this medium-sized game is so strenuous, so making its sequel and some subsequent 3A games will probably require updates every six months or every year.

Of course, He Jiu didn't care much about this.

The update speed of the large account and the small account is slow, so he can just run the small account.

Anyway, they are all contributing to the gaming community, no matter who goes there.

December 3rd, Sunday.

After lunch, He Jiu prepared to continue with the team members to perfect the last bit of work on the new game.

As soon as he sat down in the studio, he received a WeChat message from Zhao Yiyan.

Zhao Yiyan: The dubbing is completed. When will you come to inspect the goods?

He Ji: So fast? It’s only been less than three days, right?

He Jiu: And among these three days, there are two rest days!

Zhao Yiyan: Regarding your games, we don’t have any rest days. We are willing to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

He Jiu: [Stay]

He Ji: I asked you to conceal the identity of "Solar", wouldn't you have already been exposed?

Zhao Yiyan: No, they don’t know yet.

He Jiu: So, you forced them to work overtime?

Zhao Yiyan: [blushing]

Zhao Yiyan: It’s not force, it’s inducement.

Zhao Yiyan: I lured them with five times my salary.

He Ji: [Alert]

He Jiu: This is your own decision. Don’t ask me for reimbursement.

Zhao Yiyan: No need to reimburse me. This is my thanks to you.

He Ji: You have thanked me enough.

Zhao Yiyan: Oh, then it’s not considered a thank you, it’s considered a regular discount.

He Ji: [sigh]

Zhao Yiyan: Also, if we complete the dubbing earlier, will you be able to release the game earlier?

Zhao Yiyan: This is the first time I see you making a horror game. I still want to see the full version of the plot as soon as possible.

He Jiu: Since you said so, let’s just go on sale next week.

Zhao Yiyan: [Surprise]

Zhao Yiyan: Then I’ll put the boy who likes playing games the most under my command on standby.

He Ji:?

He Jiu: You really know how to be a boss.

After the exchange ended, he closed the chat box directly.

To be honest, with the current status of "Lingyin" studio in the industry, the other party no longer needs to rely on "Fire Bearer" and "Solar" to maintain the studio's survival.

He estimated that the large orders received by the other studio may not be queued until next year.

Under such circumstances, the other party was willing to help him dub it as soon as possible. It can only be said that the other party really did not forget his original intention and lived up to his original trust.

He is thinking that if there is any two-dimensional game based on character design in the future, can every voice actor from the other studio be assigned an important game role?

Hmm... let's wait until we have that environment.

He Ji calmed down his thoughts and took off his VR glasses.

"Everyone, I just received the news that the dubbing work has been completed... Let's sprint and try to complete all the work before Wednesday!"

"The sale time is still scheduled for Friday at noon?" Yu Suai asked.

"Well, let's just set this time. No one will doubt this kind of thing." He Ji nodded.

Even if some people imagine that there is a connection between "Firebringer" and "Solar", they have no evidence.

Without evidence, it will just be regarded as a rumor.

"Are you sure you won't promote anything?" Liu Xiaoji asked.

"To promote it."

He Ji smiled and said, "We still have time, so we can use the existing game scenarios to make a trial version first."

After a pause, he explained, "Anyway, the official version is scary, and the trial version is also scary. Let's just use the trial version to scare the players first, give them a surprise, and then use it to tell them the type of new game.

Finally, let’s promote the game.”

"Promoting the game is just a way..."

Liu Xiaoji swallowed his saliva and said, "You put it like that, I don't even dare to watch game videos."

"You made all the monster models. Are you afraid of this?" He Zhu tilted his head and looked at her.

"Whether I'm afraid or not has anything to do with whether I made the model?"

Liu Xiaoji defended, "Some actors are afraid to watch horror movies starring themselves!"

"really."

Yu Suai nodded, "This is mainly related to scene rendering, picture performance, and music and sound effects... Even if it is something made by myself, it can still scare people if it is changed to a spookier scene and paired with scary music and sound effects.

Own."

"Are you scared too?" He Jiu looked at her.

Yu Suai: "..."

If there weren't three people watching at the scene, she really wanted to rush up and bite him twice.

How could there be such an annoying guy!

"It's okay. Let's watch the live broadcast together when the time comes. I will give you a high-energy warning in advance." He Xu said thoughtfully.

"Watch the live broadcast?" Liu Xiaoji heard Hua Dian.

"certainly."

He Xu chuckled and said, "Such a good thing, shouldn't we invite a few game live broadcasts to share the happiness with them?"

When the four girls heard this, their eyes began to light up slightly.

It’s so fun to watch other people get scared!

They must participate!

At this point, whether the game is scary or not can be ignored.

"Who are you going to invite?" Yu Suai asked him.

"Xu Wennuo, a great benefactor, must be invited." He Ji said without hesitation.

"..." Yu Suai was already mourning for Xu Wennuo in her heart.

Oh, and I have to apologize at the same time.

After all, she really wanted to see the other person being frightened.

…

Time soon came to Wednesday.

At noon, He Jiu used his Dad Weibo account and Dad B site account that he had prepared long ago, changed his name to "Solar", and sent private messages to several game anchors.

Half an hour later, only Xu Wennuo responded to the message at station b.

This is not because the other party is always staring at the private messages, but because it happens to be the other party's live broadcast time.

Wen Nuoer: Is it really Solar?!

Solar: How about it? Are you interested in trying out my new game?

Wen Nuoer: [alert]

Winnor: How do you prove that you are the real Solal and not someone else pretending to be a game producer?

What she meant was that she was worried that He Ji might be a villain who wanted to deceive the promotion.

Solar: If I lied to you, I would be scolded to death by all the players on the Internet, right?

Wen Nuoer: Yes, it makes sense, but it’s still not convincing enough.

Solar: How about this? I go to the update announcement of "Forest" and write an invitation message, saying that I invite you anchors to try out the trial version of my new game in advance. How about it?

Wen Nuoer: Okay, let’s do it.

Solar: You are so vigilant.

Wen Nuoer: [hehe]

Wennuo'er: That's because my old father taught me well.

Solar: [wipes sweat]

He Xu subconsciously imagined a picture in his mind of a 1.5 meter girl smiling with her arms akimbo.

This girl is really addicted to treating her as a daughter!

He ended the chat temporarily, went to "Forest" to write an announcement, and then returned to Station B again.

Solar: It’s posted, go and see it.

Wen Nuoer: Well, I saw it and I can confirm that you are the person.

Wen Nuoer: Suddenly I felt a little regretful.

Solar: [scratches his head]
