Number One Game Designer

"May I ask Mr. Shuiyuan, one of the main creators of "Octopath Traveler", now that you have finished this game and your dream has come true, what are your plans for the next life plan?"

Shui Ran still took out the recording pen in a serious manner. This is the recording pen she used when she met Xiao Wei in the afternoon. At that time, she thought that she could get some interviews, but it turned out that it was all Internet language, so she had already used it on the way back. The recorder is empty.

Facing the junior who suddenly became serious, Shui Yuan actually blushed a little.

He is no stranger to interviewing him. In the first half of his life, Shuiyuan experienced entrepreneurship and failure, times of great attention, and years of pennilessness. He was already without a wave, but he still felt a little unwillingness in the deepest part of his heart, so He didn't refuse when Fang Xi came to him, because he knew what he wanted in his heart.

He wants to make games, he wants to prove himself, he wants to prove that his initial rise was not just good luck, and he wants to prove that his later loss is not just bad luck, he wants players of this era to also play him game.

So Fang Xi's original trip to Wangjing went smoothly, because from the very beginning, the leader Shui Yuan never thought of rejecting him. Having switched from gaming to carpentry for many years, he understands how precious an opportunity is.

"Ah, what should I say?" Shui Yuan said dryly, rubbing his hands together, looking at him with the urge to roll his eyes.

"My plan is actually not very complicated. I must first see if the players have any opinions on "Octopath Traveler". Report to President Fang..."

Listening to the second uncle chattering there, Shuiyuan unconsciously let go of the button on the recording pen. On the other hand, the second uncle had already talked about the difficulty of creating games in his early days, and Shuiran quietly moved a small Sitting on the bench, he listened to his second uncle talking about the past years, just like when he was a child.

Hongyi still attaches great importance to "Octopath Traveler". After finalizing the review of Shuiran, Hongyi also sent a copy of the edited CG, saying that it was sent simultaneously. The manuscript was scheduled to be released at ten o'clock the next morning.

After confirming the news, the "GAME World" official blog first announced the news, but at this time, on the other side of the earth, IGN had just received the courier.

"Hong Yi's new game? Still want us to evaluate it?"

Ign seems to be a little more dishonest. Normally, the editorial department and the department in charge of evaluation do not interfere with each other, but at this time several editors in charge of evaluation rushed to the office of the editor-in-chief Jones and looked at Jones eagerly. Many people in the editorial department outside the office knew the news and were a little moved:

"FANG's game, ahhh, I want to review it too."

"Is it too late to jump to the evaluation department now? I'll jump back after I finish evaluating FANG's games."

"Ahhhhh, FANG finally woke up after resting for half a year?"

Jones, who was sitting in the office, turned a deaf ear to these voices. He watched the people in front of him play with the U disk in their hands a few times, and finally threw it to the leader of the evaluation team in front of him. Looking at the other party with a smile on his face, Jones still explained:

"This is the first time that Hongyi has taken the initiative to give us the opportunity to evaluate the game before it is released, so this opportunity must be treated with caution. In addition, I have news that Hongyi only has two early evaluations this time, and one is us. The other is the local media "GAME World" in China. Their official trailer has been evaluated and will be released soon, so we must not be able to compare with each other in terms of time. Then I need you to play this game thoroughly Through an in-depth evaluation, we must highlight our professionalism."

There is nothing wrong with the evaluation department. Looking at the group of people leaving, Jones frowned. Originally, he was very happy about Hongyi's attention to them, but after passing the news with Shuiran, his mood became more depressed:

Hongyi sends out their packages synchronously,

But because of the geographical location, I only received it now, but the media in Wangjing City, China, had already done the evaluation.

Don't think that he has a good contact method, he still contacts occasionally, but don't think that the relationship is really good, after all, there is an old saying: peers are enemies, the kind who will never die.

IGN itself has always been in a state of superiority in the game industry, and even some small manufacturers have no confidence to speak up in front of IGN, just like Hongyi is not just a game maker, IGN is not only It is a media, such as IGN’s annual evaluation fee from overseas remittances, which is quite a considerable amount of income-the Internet age has indeed weakened the authority of traditional media, but it has made it easier for such a super media to eat up.

And in this internet age, the space that can be accommodated at the top of the media industry is getting smaller and smaller. If you sit back and watch your opponent grow bigger, that is to make yourself weaker from the side.

What makes Jones particularly alert on this is "GAME World". This company was only slightly famous in China, and it was not even the largest media in China. One of the game media, even many ordinary players in North America on the reddit forum in North America think that the game world is similar to IGN.

Of course it is different! Jones roared in his heart, IGN is the only authority, and the game world is just a despicable usurper who climbed up by relying on Hongyi to enjoy food!

But the roaring in his heart was roaring, and Jones also knew that solving the immediate problem was the most practical.

The previous decision of the company was to deal with the upcoming Hongyi Carnival and the expected eastward shift of the world's game center. An office was established in Haifang City, China, but now it is obvious that one office is not enough .

"Next time, we must convince those old men to set up a branch in the East, and it must be in China, not in Japan as they said before."

That's what Jones thinks.

Let's not mention IGN's reaction for the time being, or at this time no one cares about them, because everyone is waiting for the CG and evaluation of the new game promised by the game world. They want to see the always amazing Fang Xi, this time What kind of surprise can it bring them.

At ten o'clock, the game world was released on time.

At ten o'clock, in the university class, the professor who was teaching linear algebra adjusted his glasses, and looked at the students below who lowered their heads in unison, feeling a little suspicious. The old professor was not a newcomer, and he could tell by this posture that the hand below was Definitely holding the phone.

In the past, he must have continued to give lectures. After all, it is a university class, and the teacher would not beg the students to come and study, but this kind of one who looked down at the phone in unison... The old professor was also understanding, picked up the cup and took a sip of water :

"Now you preview for ten minutes, and we will continue the class in ten minutes."
