Number One Game Designer

Fang Xi's statement might not even be believed by his own father a year ago, but today, everyone will believe it:

Hongyi will definitely change the global game market!

What gave them confidence was naturally the company’s rising revenue figures over the past year, as well as the sum of the sales of the latest Unlock Day of Left 4 Dead:

2.94 million!

This figure is almost the sales volume of Donghuang or Yinling's masterpieces for a whole year, but it took less than half a month for Hongyi to reach these sales volumes. With the pre-sales and first-day sales, it was easy to get this figure .

As for the final sales volume of this game, the media including Wrap World gave quite optimistic predictions: 7 million!

For regular games, sales on the first day generally account for one-half or one-third of the total sales. Given the excellent quality of Left 4 Dead, various media don’t dare to think that this game can reach 9 million. Because that is almost the entire sales volume of the domestic game market, but a game must still have a population that cannot be covered, so a compromise of 7 million is considered promising by various media.

For this prediction, Donghuang and Yinling could only look up.

In Yinling's Haifang office, Ren Xiang lifted the magazine covering his face, looked at the two extremely dazzling numbers on the title page, 294 and 700, and laughed bitterly:

"Ren Xiang, Ren Xiang, what have you done this year?"

He graduated from school in high spirits three years ago and vowed to become a first-line game producer.

Two years ago, through hard work and chance, a game studio that was on the verge of bankruptcy was successfully brought back to life.

A year ago, after being in charge of another game that was well received by the market, I drifted away.

The praise of others, the admiration of passers-by, the expectations of the company, and the title of others, "Genius Game Producer".

I really love this title, wearing this title seems to have realized my original dream, a first-line game producer.

It's a pity that Fang Xi's rise soon, the passers-by, the bystanders suddenly changed this title to someone else, to this student surnamed Fang who has not yet graduated.

Yes, student, he's only a senior, he hasn't graduated yet, his success is just accidental! Can page games be considered games? Shame on the producers for making such a shoddy game! He must beat him once and let passers-by know that he is the genius game producer! He Fang Xi? Just a kid who got lucky.

As a result, in the past year, I watched this person surpass myself step by step. Even the web games I couldn’t deny the gameplay, followed by the San Francisco Comic Expo, 3D puzzle games, and commercial production games. I was completely left behind. later. But there was still a trace of fantasy in his heart, which told him: What if he just did a good job in promotional videos? What if his game ends up crashing dead?

It's a pity that with the official launch of Left 4 Survival, this illusion has disappeared.

He pre-ordered Left 4 Dead. Although he is arrogant, Ren Xiang is not blindly arrogant. If Fang Xi's game really died suddenly, his pre-order would be his last sympathy for him. Unfortunately, he didn't.

He is also a game producer, so he can see the ingenious conception of this game system, and he understands how much joy this game can bring in the hands of players.

Suddenly looking back, others spent a year creating a myth.

What about yourself? The self-pitying loser, the crying coward, the coward who dare not admit defeat, the loser who has been mediocre for a year.

It's time to end, Ren Xiang sighed.

At this moment, there are not a few people who react similarly to Ren Xiang. For more game producers, the first is the position that everyone wants, but there is a natural barrier between them and this position. This natural barrier is called Survival. They are on this side of the road, and Fang Xi is on the other side. A game that took a year to make has won sales in half a month that a game that they have worked on for two years can only get in a whole year. This is about despair.

This is like in a martial arts novel, someone asked, who is the strongest of Jin Yong's martial arts? Tokgo seeks defeat, so is the best era the era of Tokgo seeks defeat? No, that was the worst era for knights. Dugu Qiubai is like a bright sun that makes everyone else retreat automatically like a group of stars. This round of brilliant sun is left alone in the sky, and the existence of other people against it seems like a joke. And now the domestic game market is almost like this.

The happiest people here may be the players of the Honghu game platform. Players don’t care about the intrigues of the game industry. For them, the most important thing to play games is to be happy, and now playing Left 4 Survival is the happiest of.

Just as Fang Xi expected before, after passing the main line teaching level, all the protagonists controlled by the players instantly forgot that they still have a daughter waiting to be saved by themselves, and they put all their energy into exploring this dilapidated and full of Charm of the city.

Machine gun fire can destroy door panels, and zombies can be used as human shields to resist damage in close combat. The most difficult bomb to find can even raze a building to the ground. Relying on the powerful effect of the Jinghong engine, Fang Xi wiped out most of the city. Everything has a "trigger", and you can destroy almost anything if you find the right way.

There are also players who choose to form a team to help others, the father who still misses his daughter who turned into a zombie, the couple who peacefully swallowed a gun and committed suicide together, and the elderly couple who tied themselves to a wheelchair to watch the sunset together. Fang Xi's team wrote a unique story for each of them. If you talk to them enough, they will recall to you the beautiful city before the virus outbreak, the family they missed, and this nightmarish hell.

Among them, Fang Xi also set a task that was scolded by the players:

In a small neighborhood, you will meet a pet dog. After following the pet dog through an abandoned building, you will find the owner of the pet dog, an old lady. She warmly entertained you and then showed you that she was bitten by a zombie. I begged you to kill her, she didn't want to make herself ugly and possibly hurt others or her precious pet dog. This is a small microcosm of the zombie world, and it also poses a dilemma for the players. If you shoot directly, you can't get over your conscience. If you don't shoot, the old lady will eventually turn into a zombie. Fang Xi didn't give any plot twists. It was a very simple and cruel choice. Countless players scolded Fang Xi and had to make a choice. Fang Xi also responded to this small branch on Weibo that night.

ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм\u003cFirst release, domain name, please remember\u003e "When you choose a single-player story, you choose to immerse yourself in this world to experience their joy and anger Ai Le, this task is to remind you how precious life is now, and tuition fees are expensive, I hope you will learn something.”

Side quests are very controversial, but many players of the same page game think that in this cruel world, this choice is not surprising. One player left a comment: It will let you understand what is human nature and your bottom line Where is it, I hope you will never need this awareness in your life.

For Fang Xi, he doesn't care about these gossips. The greatest significance of the game is to allow every ordinary person to experience a life that they may never experience in this life in front of the sofa. I don't intend to preach, but the complaints of the players also show the success of this mission.

However, not most people pay attention to the immersive experience of single-player games, and more people still focus on this exciting and challenging multiplayer mode.
