This is not a BUG, this is a game feature

The development work of "Star Emperor" was more difficult than the previous two games, and it was not initially completed until mid-May.

During this period, Chen Ba and his studio partners burned countless brain cells before they could complete the wide variety of visual effects in the game and create a semi-finished product.

Yes, half-finished product!

There are still many aspects of the game that have not been polished and perfected, and the current development progress can only be said to be barely playable.

“It’s enough for exhibitions!”

Although it is only a semi-finished product, Chen Ba is already very satisfied.

Tianba Studio has also signed up for the upcoming electronic game exhibition in Zhonghai, and with the gimmick of "Dream Builder 5 Engine", it has secured a good booth for "Star Emperor".

In terms of scale and level, this China Overseas Game Show may not be the highest, or even the top game show in China.

However, this is a game exhibition that has the highest level of player participation, does not have the nature of developer communication, and is relatively popular.

In human terms: it’s not very professional, but it has a lot of traffic!

Participating in this exhibition will definitely have a good exposure and publicity effect for "Star Emperor", and it can also attract the attention of more players and media.

To this end, Chen Ba also specially contacted two cosplayers and customized the costumes of Star Emperor and Wings Supreme for them. When the time comes, they can pose on the offline platform and the effect will definitely be good.

"Brother Dong, Xiao Lu and Zhong Shengwei will go with me, while the others will stay in the studio."

After making the personnel arrangements, Chen Ba asked again: "Are the customized game posters and T-shirts ready?"

"it is done!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaojuan bent down and took out a white short-sleeved T-shirt with a special pattern from the box under the table.

The front of the T-shirt is printed with "Star Emperor" and the back is the logo of "Tianba Game Studio".

This is the expedition jersey!

Chen Ba took it and looked at it, nodded and said, "How many pieces have been made?"

"Five hundred pieces!"

so much? That's enough!

Chen Ba calculated it and found that, except for the few items they wore themselves, the rest could be given to the players as gifts.

There is also a threshold for giving away T-shirts. It is impossible to give away one for every player who comes to the booth, so these hundreds of pieces will definitely not be enough.

What he wants is that players who can clear the first three levels of the plot within 10 minutes during the trial experience period can receive a "Star Emperor" commemorative T-shirt.

The trial version only has the first three levels of the story mode.

Although the studio internally joked that the plot mode is a human-machine game, which is not very difficult, it is not easy to clear three levels in 10 minutes.

Especially for players who are new to the game, are not familiar with key operation habits, and rarely play fighting games, if they can pass a level in 10 minutes, they will be considered successful.

…

Zhonghai, Donghua Station.

Jiang Bin carried his bag and walked out of the subway car along with the crowded flow of people. He picked up his mobile phone and looked at the navigation information, then walked towards the convention and exhibition center not far away.

As the editor of [Game Star Sky], he occasionally has business trips.

For example, at the China Overseas Electronic Game Exhibition held today, he had to come to the scene to take some photos and understand the situation on the spot before writing an exhibition report.

This is not Jiang Bin’s first time attending the China Overseas Gaming Exhibition.

As a veteran editor of a game portal, he has been here two years ago and has written introductory columns for some of the most popular games at the exhibition.

only……

Just because he had been here a few times, Jiang Bin basically had no expectations for the new games exposed at the exhibition.

The level of this exhibition is too low!

There were not many big companies participating in the exhibition, most of them were small factories or studios, and most of the games on display were mobile games, not the PC stand-alone games he favored.

"This is almost turning into a mobile game exhibition..."

After sighing, Jiang Bin opened a list of exhibitors and works sent to the media by the exhibition organizer.

Sure enough, most of the list were mobile games, and among the remaining games, there were no particularly eye-catching or worthy of his expectations.

"Eh...Tianba Studio?"

Just when Jiang Bin lost interest and planned to go back after taking a stroll, he suddenly saw a very familiar name.

Tianba Studio, Starry Sky Emperor!

Oh, this is good!

Jiang Bin has an impression of Tianba Studio. After all, he just interviewed him not long ago and played their first two games.

Unexpectedly, they also came to the exhibition, and this time they also brought a mysterious new game, which was built using the Dream Builder 5 engine and is said to be comparable to the 3A-level image quality performance of "Star Emperor".

"The Starry Sky Emperor..."

As a game information editor, Jiang Bin has a wider range of sources than ordinary players and knows more insider information.

As far as he knows, "Star Emperor" seems to be a 3D fighting game, and the graphics are very good.

How good is it?

He also asked many people about this issue.

But it's a pity that everyone is making wild guesses based on the Dream Builder 5 engine, and no one can tell the specific performance.

Today the mystery can finally be revealed!

With strong curiosity, Jiang Bin took out his pen and circled "Star Emperor", planning to be the first to go to Tianba Studio's booth.

He was looking forward to it so much.

On the one hand, Tianba Studio's first two games left a deep impression on him, and he felt that the new game should be good as well.

On the other hand, this is one of the few Dream Building 5 games in the world!

It has been half a year since the Dream Builder 5 engine was released. Everyone says it is great, but no one can say how powerful it is and what kind of games it will produce.

After all, the release time of this engine is still too short.

As of now, except for a few inconspicuous games, no masterpiece has been developed using the Dream Builder 5 engine.

Can "Star Emperor" reflect the power of this new engine?

With countless doubts, Jiang Bin hung his media credentials around his neck and walked into the central area of ​​the exhibition with his camera in hand.

No. 07, Area B.

The booth of Tianba Studio is easy to find. It is right next to a mobile game from Pig Factory. You can see it at a glance after entering the exhibition hall.

"Don't crowd, don't crowd!"

"Go to the side to take photos, don't affect the normal trial queue..."

As soon as Jiang Bin arrived at the booth, he saw Brother Ba taking Xiao Lu to maintain order.

Too many people!

The cosplayers of Star Emperor and Wings Supreme are very professional, especially Wings Supreme. As a female character who resembles an angel, the cosplayers are crowded with colorists.

After looking at Brother Ba who was sweating from his work, Jiang Bin gave up the idea of ​​saying hello and slowly lined up.

About half an hour later, it was finally his turn.

There are a total of ten machines in the trial. Zhong Shengwei pointed to machine No. 6 and said: "You can only play for 10 minutes. It has a keyboard and a controller. If you pass all the trials, you can receive a commemorative T-shirt. Thank you for your cooperation and support!"

"OK."

Time was limited, so Jiang Bin was not polite to the staff member. He walked to the No. 6 machine, put down his backpack and camera, picked up the handle and started to experience it.

Why choose a handle?

This is not nonsense! If you don’t choose a controller when playing fighting games, why should you choose a keyboard and mouse?

As a dual-study player, Jiang Bin subconsciously felt that a controller would be better than a keyboard and mouse, but he soon discovered something was wrong.
