This is not a BUG, this is a game feature

In a blink of an eye, the twelfth lunar month has arrived.

Three full months have passed since the development of the new game "God's Grace Continent" started before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Last year, Chen Ba couldn't go home to celebrate the New Year because of work. He must go back this year, otherwise his old father will not be able to justify it.

Chen Ba's parents divorced early and lived their own lives. He was raised by his father and grandmother.

After grandma passed away, there was only one old father left in the family.

Originally, when the share of "Star Emperor" came into his account, Chen Ba planned to buy a house in Jiangning and bring his old father to live with him.

But his father was always reluctant to part with the few acres of land at home and refused to let it go to waste. In addition, developing "God's Grace Continent" also required a lot of money, so the matter was cancelled.

Even if he didn't make any money in previous years, Chen Ba still has some money in his pocket this year thanks to the three previous games, so he plans to build a new house for his father in the village.

As for the old man, since he didn't want to move into the city, Chen Ba could only build him a new house in his hometown to improve his living environment.

"It's quite expensive to repair a house."

"Yes, the main reason is that labor costs have increased and materials are not worth much." Chen Ba nodded.

After he decided to build a new home for his old father, he asked someone to inquire about the market situation, but he was left speechless.

Ten years ago, he could build a two-story building in his hometown with 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. But now I don’t have two or three hundred thousand yuan in my pocket, so I can’t build it at all.

"Where's the decoration?"

Yang Dong seemed to be very curious about this kind of self-built house in rural areas, so he asked: "If you build a house in rural areas, the decoration should not be expensive, right?"

"It depends on how you install it. If you install it better, it will be quite expensive."

Chen Ba expressed his thoughts and plans: "What my dad means is that there is no need to pretend to be too luxurious. After all, the countryside is not as good as the city. He is the only one in the house, so it is troublesome to clean up."

"Uncle is right."

Yang Dong agrees with this. The actual situation must be considered when decorating. Self-built houses in rural areas are too luxurious, and cleaning and daily maintenance are very laborious.

Building a small garden swimming pool or something like that may look good, but is it practical? Not practical! It’s also extremely difficult to maintain. If you don’t have time to clean the swimming pool, why not go do some farm work in the fields!

That’s what the older generation thought.

Chen Ba can afford to build a luxurious house, but he also agrees with this principle, and self-built houses should be more "practical".

"I asked my dad to help organize this matter. After the Chinese New Year, the workers should be in place and we should be able to start construction."

As Chen Ba spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Yang Dong and said, "You won't go back this year, will you?"

"You've already left, leaving me alone to guard the empty boudoir?" Yang Dong said resentfully.

"This..."

Chen Ba rolled his eyes, really impressed by the old licker Yang Dong.

It's been so many years, why haven't you let go of that woman yet? It's no wonder that Yang Dong's parents were anxious. Even onlookers who saw this kind of thing would be anxious for him.

"You'd better put it down quickly."

Out of good intentions, Chen Ba advised: "Stop thinking about your ex-girlfriend. Maybe she's dating another one and you're still in the dark!"

"Oh, by the way, are Xiaojuan and Kunkun in a relationship? She asked for leave from me yesterday, and her friend circle said she went to see a movie?"

"should be……"

Yang Dong pondered: "The two of them are considered to be successful, and they will probably talk about marriage next year. Zhong Shengwei has a girlfriend, and even Xiao Lu has a lively chat with customer service Xiaoxin."

Okay!

In the huge Tianba studio, the sour smell of love is everywhere, and they are the only two singles left.

"Ahem!"

Chen Ba coughed and decided to ignore this sad topic and instead talked about this year's Steam Platform Annual Game Awards.

Tianba Studio is on the verge of success!

"Star Emperor" was selected as a candidate for this year's "Best Visual Effects" award on the steam platform.

Although this is just a candidate, players still need to vote to decide whether to win. But judging from the opening of voting channels and the performance of "Star Emperor" with a surge of 100,000 votes overnight, this award should be stable.

"It's definitely stable..."

"Can other games have such outstanding graphics as "Star Emperor"? Can Lao Huang and Su Ma jointly stand together?"

Yang Dong raised his eyebrows: "We won the award, and we deserve it! Even if Cyberpunk 2077 is coming, today's award must be awarded to the Star Emperor!"

"I like to hear this. Say more."

Chen Ba said with a smile: "It's a pity that the awards given by the steam platform are not as valuable as the awards, and their popularity is not as good as that of TGA."

"Just be content. It's great if you can win an award. What about TGA? What does this have to do with us?"

It sounds ugly, but it’s true.

The steam platform awards awards, and Tianba Studio can also share a piece of pork to taste the saltiness. The "Oscars" of games like TGA really have nothing to do with it.

Those are all AAA masterpieces, or the home of global hit games.

The works produced by Tianba Studio are not competitive and cannot even get a single nomination. You can only watch other people's performances.

""Star Emperor" is still too unpopular. If the sales exceed one million copies and there are more foreign players, it might not be able to be nominated for the best fighting game." Chen Ba sighed.

Putting aside the shortcomings of poor configuration and poor combat feel, "Star Emperor" still has many shining points.

Even if you don’t deserve an award, you should still be nominated.

It is a pity that the sales volume of "Star Emperor" is too low, and most of the players are from China, and foreign players are too rare, resulting in very low popularity.

This is also one of the main reasons why "Star Emperor" can't be seen at this year's TGA Game Awards. After all, it's a game you've never heard of. Who knows if it's fun?

"fine!"

Yang Dong comforted: ""God's Grace Continent" is a good game. I think it should be nominated for next year's TGA."

"hope so."

Chen Ba is not as optimistic as Brother Dong.

The development of the new game lasted three months, and the rough prototype is already in place. Judging from the current trial performance alone, it is indeed decent, but if you insist on saying how good it is, it is not necessarily true.

Quite satisfactory!

This can be seen from the scoring criteria provided by the system. The overall score is as high as 90 points, which sounds pretty good...

But, Chen Ba's first game "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator" has a score of 91! The overall score of the system is okay to watch, but whoever takes it seriously is really stupid.

91 points and 90 points are relatively close.

Thinking of the performance, sales data and overall reputation of "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator" after its release, Chen Ba has a rough idea.

The overall score of "God's Grace Continent" is as high as 90 points, which is much higher than "Star Emperor". This shows that the game should be okay, and its sales and reputation should be better than "Star Emperor".

But games with a score of 91 have bugs, what about a game with a score of 90?
