Restart the Gaming Era

Under Lao Li's urging, many people in the group bought the "updated platinum version of the plug-in."

I have to say that Lao Li still has credibility in this group. This plug-in group has existed for more than a year. Several core customers in the group have basically followed from the beginning until now. After buying the auxiliary program, they have indeed been using it. Lao Li is updating it for free. He has been working hard for so long and has ensured the cheating experience of these cheating players.

Regular upgrades like this have been carried out twice before, both because the game has been updated and the difficulty of cracking plug-ins has increased. It has become more difficult for Lao Li to make plug-ins. Once the plug-in is upgraded, the cost will naturally increase.

The players in the group didn't think too much about this, and they were all looking forward to Lao Li's latest platinum version of the plug-in program.

In the evening, Lao Li took stock of the results of the day and found a lot of gains.

The income from selling hangings on this day alone was more than 80,000 yuan!

Of course, it was impossible to earn so much every day before. Basically, new players would buy it sporadically for a month or two. Some bought particularly cheap versions for only one or two hundred a month, and the more expensive versions were four or five hundred, which is not much. income.

But every time he sells this kind of "advanced version of the plug-in", Lao Li's income is often very considerable.

Because every time such an advanced version of the plug-in is launched, several rich people in the group will directly renew the upgrade, and often directly renew for one year.

For example, this time Lao Li launched the "Platinum Edition", priced at 500 per month, and you can directly get a 50% discount on the annual subscription. Many rich people just spend 3,000 yuan to pay for the year. Lao Li got 3,000 directly from a rich man. In addition, there are also some products that are guaranteed for half a year, which can be discounted at 30%. Basically, those old customers will buy a few more months in order to get a cheaper price.

In this way, Lao Li directly made a lot of money!

Lao Li went to sleep in the afternoon because he stayed up all night last night and was really a little overwhelmed. However, he still gave the players in the group the impression that he was staying up all night to update plug-ins. Illusion.

When Lao Li woke up, it was already past three in the morning. He sat up directly from the bed and took a look at the situation in the group.

Well, the few night owls in the group who stayed up late didn't say anything, so most of the people in the group were probably already resting.

There were a few people who stayed up late waiting for the plug-in update, but they didn't wait for it. They probably went to bed and will come back tomorrow morning.

Lao Li disbanded the chat group and ran away decisively.

…

The next day, many players who were originally in the cheat chat group woke up and were stunned.

The chat group has been disbanded!

There is no second channel for these people to contact each other. Only a very small number of players have friends with each other. When they add up to each other, they suddenly realize that they have been cheated!

"What do you mean, why did Lao Li dissolve the chat group?"

"Yeah, my chat group is gone too!"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Nonsense, we were deceived!"

"Fuck! Is Lao Li still a human? Did he run away with his money?"

"Damn it, I just recharged it for a year!"

"Does that mean that he was lying when he said he had a platinum version? Just to defraud us of our money?"

"That's it! This is so shameless! So shameless!"

All the players in the original plug-in group were filled with indignation and were about to explode!

Yesterday, I was tortured to the point of vomiting blood by various players in the game, and I was waiting for the updated plug-in to be abused. As a result, the plug-in author ran away early in the morning and took away all the money!

Some wealthy players have friends with each other and are already uniting to get their money back, but how easy is it?

What they bought was not real goods, and it was unclear whether they were protected by law. Moreover, all transactions were conducted online. Lao Li did not use his real identity information at all, and it was difficult to trace it.

However, it is hard to say whether these rich people have other means.

…

After the "Xuanjia Project" updated the God-killing mode, players were as happy as the Chinese New Year!

In the past, players hated cheats. When they entered the game, they prayed that there would be no cheats in the game. Once there were cheats, almost everyone would be disgusted. Even if the official detected the cheats and banned them in time, those players who were killed by the cheats, they The gaming experience has been damaged beyond repair.

But things are different now. Players are still looking forward to a few cheats appearing in the game!

After this update, the detection efficiency of plug-ins has become extremely high, and basically they can be detected within the local bureau. After being detected, the entire game will enter the God-killing mode, and all dead players will be resurrected. With invincibility and unlimited bullets, the authorities can kill the cheats for revenge.

Fortunately for the cheaters, they can still resist and die a little more happily. The more they persist, the worse they will be tortured, and the better the rewards for the players will be.

Many players who have been suffering from cheating for a long time said that they were tortured by cheating orphans for so long, and it was great to finally be able to abuse them again!

Although the normal game flow will still be destroyed, what does it matter? As long as you can abuse cheats!

There are even many GS1 console players who specially come to the PC platform just to experience the God-killing mode. There are no plug-ins in the game, but they feel uncomfortable all over.

Moreover, some news broke out on the Internet that the owners of several cheating groups chose to donate money and run away!

There were some who didn't run away, but they were all helpless with the God-killing mode of "Xuanjia Project" and turned the development direction of plug-ins to other games.

With the god-killing mode of "Xuanjia Project", Shimmer Studio once again became famous. This unprecedented anti-cheating measure was called "the most successful anti-cheating measure in history" by players.

December 29th, IGP Game Awards Ceremony.

This award ceremony attracted the attention of a large number of Chinese players, because at this award ceremony, Weiguang Interactive Entertainment’s games received several nominations.

"Resident Evil" and "Ink Cloud 2" were nominated for Game of the Year;

"Resident Evil" and "Project Xuanjia" were nominated for best shooting game;

"Ink Clouds 2" was nominated for Best Action-Adventure Game and Most Creative Game;

Starfire is nominated for Best Strategy Game;

"Sekiro" was nominated for Best Action Game.

All players and game developers are convinced by this nomination list.

So productive!

Strictly speaking, so many games are made by two studios under Weiguang Interactive Entertainment. Although Tianji Studio is also making games, after all, they are making krypton gold games, which can make money, but not in this kind of selection. Very impressive.

But it’s not easy for two studios to produce so many games, and the games they produce are all high-quality games. Who can resist this!

At this award ceremony, Shimmer Studio lived up to expectations and won many awards. The game of the year was finally awarded to "Ink Clouds and Smoke 2". It can be said that this is a highly anticipated award. "Ink Clouds and Smoke 2" is the Chinese Feng He's unconstrained gameplay completely convinced the judges and players around the world. As the only perfect game this year, it is absolutely reasonable to win the Game of the Year.

"Resident Evil" won the best shooting game. Although "Xuanjia Project" is popular all over the world, it is still a little behind in terms of quality. In fact, the quality of "Resident Evil" was fully qualified to compete for the game of the year in previous years, but this year it was unlucky to crash with its own "Ink Clouds 2", so there was no way.

However, the IP value of "Resident Evil" is still there, and it also has a large number of die-hard fans.

"Starfire" won the best strategy game, and "Sekiro" won the best action game. There is nothing much to say about these two games. They have reached the top level in their respective fields.

Although "Sekiro" makes people suffer, it is also highly respected among Western players. A large number of hardcore Western players have also participated in the "Sekiro" racing competition, and it is difficult to compete with Chinese players on the list. Inseparable.

It is worth mentioning that the appearance of "Sekiro" has made the IGP judges very busy, because this game is so close to the IGP awards ceremony, and there is only about two weeks in between. time. Originally, the nominations for the best action game had already been decided, but "Sekiro" was forcibly added.

The original best action game was "Extreme Fighting 3", but now it can only be represented as MMP, and the award has been inexplicably gone!

At the award ceremony, Zhong Ming, as a designer from Shimmer Studio, felt a little embarrassed to go on stage to receive awards repeatedly.

After the final game of the year was announced, Zhong Ming took the stage again, and this time, the official also played the DLC of "Ink Clouds and Smoke 2" and the linkage promotional video between "Sekiro" and "Ink Clouds and Smoke 2" on the big screen, adding to the atmosphere of the scene. push to the peak.

On the big screen, the first is the DLC content of "Ink Clouds and Smoke 2".

In the brand-new master mode, scholars encounter more high-level monsters, and the difficulty of combat is comprehensively improved; a large number of game linkage contents; new high-difficulty trials, speed-passing challenges, etc., all make players interested in "Ink Clouds and Smoke 2" The anticipation for the DLC is at an all-time high.

Players saw the protective suit in "Interstellar Fire" in the promotional video. This protective suit can be obtained directly in the DLC of "Ink Cloud 2". After wearing it, it can have the functions of cold-proof clothing and heat-insulating clothing;

At the same time, many new vehicles also appeared in the promotional video, such as wooden kites, motorcycles, motorcycle umbrellas, etc.

When the wooden kite and the motorcycle appeared, there was a burst of cheers. Players saw that this cool all-terrain automatic unicycle can climb mountains and move on the water. Like the wooden kite, it can be refueled by consuming the props on it. , it is simply much easier to use than the horse the scholar drew before.

When they saw the mechanism umbrella, there was a burst of laughter and boos at the scene. Apparently there were many players who had been tortured by "Sekiro" and became unconscious.

Although the speed-running competition for the game "Sekiro" is currently in full swing, it has just been released not long ago and the publicity in the Western region has not yet been fully implemented. After this IGP promotion and the linkage of the two games, it will definitely be able to Let the popularity of "Sekiro" rise further.

All in all, at this IGP awards ceremony, Weiguang Interactive Entertainment can be said to be the biggest winner. Obtaining the annual game also marks that Weiguang Studio has officially entered the ranks of world-class studios, and Zhong Ming has also been able to compete with those world-famous games Producers are on equal footing!

…

On the Weiguang live broadcast platform, the "Sekiro" racing competition is gradually coming to an end.

During the month-long "Sekiro" clearance competition, many great gods hidden among the people appeared, and it also allowed players to truly realize the differences between people.

In the first part of the half-price clearance event, official statistics show that the number of game clearances after one month was 9.4%. As for the number of players who completed the eight weeks, only a pitiful 1.3%.

In other words, less than 10% of players received a half-price reward for completing the game one month after the game was released, and only a pitiful 1% of players finally received a full refund.

The players all expressed their belief that Zhong Ming can still play!

When many players see the rule of "half price for clearance", they feel that they must have made a profit. After all, they feel that no matter how difficult the game "Sekiro" is designed, the player's endurance limit must be considered, right? It's impossible to make a game that's impossible to pass, right?

It was really hard at first after the game came out, but seeing so many speed-passing strategies and injury-free strategies on the Internet gave players the illusion that they would be able to beat Sekiro as long as they worked hard. .

Of course, this idea is correct, but "you can pass the level if you work hard", the key depends on how hard you work...

Although the "half-price clearance" activity is always in effect, players who have not completed the game one month after its release will not have a high probability of completing it in the future. Players expressed that they were indeed tricked by Zhong Ming!

We held a half-price event to trick everyone into buying the game, but in the end we suffered, suffered, spent money, and couldn't get a refund!

Just vomiting blood.

As for the four-ending speed pass in the second part, many great players have emerged around the world. Among them, the clearance time of the Asura ending is compressed to about 45 minutes, while the non-Asura ending is about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Because the program of "Sekiro" produced by Zhong Ming is not exactly the same as the previous "Sekiro", the carding and jumping methods of many bug points are also different.

The design team of "Sekiro" is also working hard to fix bugs, but the players' ingenuity is endless, and they still found some bugs that can quickly skip the boss, so the clearance time was successfully compressed.

However, the speed-passing videos of "Sekiro" do bring additional talking points to the players. Watching each speed-passing master finish the plot that he has not cleared for a month in just a few dozen minutes, and all kinds of bugs are at hand. Come, kill the final boss perfectly without props, the onlookers can only sigh, this is the world of a great god!

Moreover, racing competitions have also allowed many high-end players to stand out and become well-known to the audience. These people may have been just ordinary players at first, but now they have gathered fans and enthusiasm after the test of "Sekiro", and they have transformed into host area anchors of Shimmer Live.

The third part of the injury-free boss competition is even more flourishing, and many ordinary players can also participate.

The sorting rules for the injury-free boss competition are based on boss difficulty, kill time and other factors. On the one hand, players are encouraged to defeat bosses in multiple rounds, and on the other hand, players are encouraged to use many different ways to play.

For example, some players invented the phantom ring-breaking monk's play method. They eat hidden moon candy and sneak up on them, then continue to crush seeds and throw ash balls. At the same time, they move to the lamppost next to the phantom ring-breaking monk. When the phantom ring-breaking monk is controlled by the ash ball, In the stage, you can assassinate by jumping directly from the lamp post. He used this method to successfully assassinate the high-ranking phantom monk without any injuries, and received a reward of 10,000 points.

This style of play has also been adopted by speedrunning processes, compressing various speedrunning processes into tens of seconds.

In the end, the "Sekiro" racing competition came to a perfect conclusion. The top three speed runners received bonus rewards, and the top players in the injury-free boss competition also received points. All participants received rewards, and for those who did not For the players who were able to pass the level, they also became a group of melon-eaters, and the onlookers were very happy.

For Zhong Ming, the benefits are even greater. On the one hand, the popularity and sales of the game "Sekiro" have continued to rise during this month, and on the other hand, Weiguang Live has taken this opportunity to attract a large number of viewers.

At this point, the game "Sekiro" can be regarded as a lesson to game designers and players around the world.

Is the game difficult?

It doesn't matter, high difficulty can also be used as a selling point of the game. The key is to see if you do well!
