The Era of the Second Element of the Literary Girl

late august.

After completing the acquisition of Station B...

In addition to moving the original team to the Moying Entertainment headquarters, it is also necessary to recruit new personnel for the operation team of Station B, such as website editors, artists, programmers, publicity and distribution teams, and so on. However, these are aspects that her sister will arrange, and Li Xiaoci does not need to worry about them.

What Li Xiaoci needs to do now is to write the extra volumes of other characters before the finale of the "My Girl" animation comes.

At that time, these extra content will be released electronically on the official website of Light Literature on the day of the finale of the Black Cat Line, while the physical book of the library version will be released a few days later.

In this way, it is guaranteed that every reader can enjoy double happiness on the day of the finale of the animation!

Then, Li Xiaoci couldn't help feeling...

have a look!

have a look!

Where else in the world can I find an author as conscientious as myself? !

There was a lot of scolding on Weibo, and when I saw the old man's good intentions, I turned around and apologized to the old man!

...

Then, in the days when code words and fishing alternately, Moying's side is getting closer and closer to the day when Plants vs. Zombies will be launched on the official website.

There is no steam in this world. Therefore, when players buy games, they buy activation codes on the official website of the game company and download them. Of course, there are pirated versions, but they are not rampant. All have the ability to support the original version, and there are still relatively few pirated versions.

As for game promotion, there are generally two forms.

The first is the information and reviews of the major game media, such as some self-media information videos in the game circle, and the review articles of You X.com and Mob Star.

The second is that the game company finds other promotion channels on its own. For example, large-scale games usually release promotional PVs and find people to advertise.

Basically, these two methods will determine how much game nerds expect from a game before it is released.

After the release, you can only rely on word of mouth and tap water. However, for small independent games, word of mouth is often more important than publicity. .

And the predecessor of Moying Company, "Shenying Game", itself has released several good small independent games, and its reputation is justified, and it still has a little status in the game circle. In addition, Shenying Game has inexplicably turned into Moying Entertainment, and has also made such a move as the acquisition of Station B. Therefore, the game circle is also very curious about the new game that Moying Company will launch soon.

...

"Sen Liu" is a game editor of the game media "Mob Star". He is generally responsible for evaluating some upcoming games, and then writes out the ratings and feelings and sends them to the website information, so that players can reasonably screen and buy themselves. favorite game.

When "Plants vs. Zombies" was about to hit the shelves, Mori also quickly got the game body from Moying.

The evaluation scores of the game media do not necessarily represent the quality of the game itself, but it is easy to guide the direction of reviews. Therefore, Mori will generally maintain an objective attitude towards any game.

However, after opening Plants vs. Zombies, he couldn't help but think...is this a 4399 mini-game? !

Why does it look so stupid?

When he was still "Shenying Game", Moriyu also played a lot of independent games developed by this company. Generally, the painting style is very exquisite, and it gives people a very compelling feeling at first glance, just like It was the same as the Monument Valley in Li Xiaoci's previous life.

How did you develop such a hot-eyed thing after becoming "Magic Entertainment"?

Moying, is this going to enter 4399, or 7K7K?

think so,

However, after actually starting the game, Moriyu restrained his contempt and prepared to experience the game seriously.

The game operation method is very simple, plant sunflowers to collect sunlight, and then exchange plant cards to defend against zombies.

In essence, this is actually a 2D tower defense game.

After playing for a while, Mori also suddenly felt...

Although the style of painting looks childish, no different from a web game, but the unexpected feeling is okay?

Well, let's play for another ten minutes.

Then……

Before I knew it, an afternoon passed like this.

He didn't even notice it himself.

At first, Mori thought it was a little game for children that didn't require any IQ, but after being eaten by zombies a few times...he also suddenly realized that this game didn't seem that simple.

Then, in addition to feeling the game, he also carefully analyzed many places.

First of all, Plants vs. Zombies is definitely a game that requires IQ to play. Whether it is the allocation of resources, the matching of plants, or the battle formation, players need to think carefully before deciding. Secondly, a large number of zombie types, plant types and map types also increase the playability of the game. What's more, in addition to the adventure mode, there are decryption, mini-games, survival and garden modes, which are enough to make people play for a long time without getting bored.

Thinking about it this way...

Is Plants vs. Zombies actually a very awesome game? !

At this moment, Sen Liu also felt very tangled.

In fact, based on the first impression, he would definitely not give Plants vs. Zombies a passing score of more than 6, because the appearance alone would be enough to dissuade them. However, after playing it, he suddenly felt that, in terms of playability, even if the game is a 9 distraction, it doesn't seem too much? At least in his opinion, in terms of tower defense games, Plants vs. Zombies should be the most fun one he has ever played.

However, to be honest, the art style of this game is not very in line with the current industry aesthetics. If you want to be strict or not, if you want to have milk or not, even the name of the game is stupid, like some mentally handicapped game downloaded from a small game website , It is estimated that many game nerds will lose interest after just looking at the screenshots of the game.

Therefore, scoring a high score in this situation actually requires courage. What if the sales of the game die suddenly? What if I score too high and stand out from the rest of the game media reviews? If he was slapped in the face afterwards, wouldn't he appear to be imbecile?

but……

never mind!

Just give it 9 points, since it doesn’t cost any money, it’s a big gamble!

...

A few days later, the evaluation scores of the upcoming independent game "Plants vs. Zombies" were released soon.

You X.com: 6.5 points, Donkey.com: 7 points, 4DM: 7.2 points, Mobstar: 9 points...

Basically, all game media websites gave conservative scores above the middle level, except for Mob Star, which uncharacteristically gave it a score of 9, which is a god-level evaluation.

"Fuck, this game has such a high score?! Even a 9-point masterpiece? So awesome?"

"It's not that bad for me to look at the screenshots of the game, I'm afraid this mob starry sky is not collecting money."

"I also feel that I have received money. A tower defense game is blown like this?"

"Looking at other people's scores, it's just a pass line, and Mob Star gave it 9 points. It's too obvious to charge money!"

"With this style of painting, I don't even want to play."

"Honestly, at this glance, I thought I saw 4399."

"Look at the screenshots of the game, oh my god! I'll lose if the sales of this small game exceed 100,000! It's still a masterpiece? Grandma Jiuli!"

After all, from the name to the art style of Plants vs. Zombies, it can only be said that it is very average. In this case, if all the media unanimously give high marks, then the players will be skeptical. However, most of the media gave the score above average, and only Mob Star gave it a score of 9, which made it look like Mob Star was paid.

This has also caused Plants vs. Zombies to cause quite a bit of controversy among the game nerds even though it has not yet been released.

As for Li Xiaoci, when he was fishing, he also saw these comments from the game circle.

Xiaodai Mao was not happy immediately.

Damn, with so many media, there is only one with a little vision!

What about other media? Each evaluation article is just a few lines, the advantages of Plants vs. Zombies are not mentioned, and the content introduction is only limited to the novice tutorial... Could it be that they all played for a few minutes perfunctorily and wrote some content casually?

Hmph, a bunch of spicy chicken websites!

I bought you all back.
