This is not a BUG, this is a game feature

"God's Grace Continent" is very popular!

This is not only Tianba Studio’s first game to sell over one million copies, but also the first game to top the sales list on the steam platform.

Although this number one did not last long and only lasted for two days, it was still number one!

As mentioned before, to judge whether a buyout single-player game is popular or not, one million sales is a hurdle. Only after passing this hurdle can it be considered a popular game.

Precisely……

There is also a prerequisite for millions of sales, that is, it is considered popular if it reaches one million sales "within six months of release".

If the millions of sales are achieved over time, or the sales are promoted by huge discounts - 90% promotions, then it is not considered a popular game.

Generally speaking, within the first six months of the release of new games, there will not be huge discounts such as -90% or -85%, and most of the sales are purchased at the original price. Sell ​​a million copies in this case, and that's a hit indeed.

Ten million sales in half a year?

These are collectively referred to as "hot hits" or "phenomenal" games and have no reference value.

The new game has achieved great success. As the boss of Tianba Studio, Chen Ba naturally cannot treat everyone badly, not only with bonuses, but also with a celebration banquet.

So, Kunkun is here!

In his original words, he was not active in eating and had problems with his thinking! What's more, as an honorary family member of Tianba Studio, it's not too much to have a celebration banquet, right?

"It's not too much, as long as you're happy."

Too lazy to argue with this arrogant family man, Chen Ba asked Yang Dong at the side during the celebration banquet: "Brother Dong, what are you looking at?"

From the moment he entered the hotel, Yang Dong kept looking down at his cell phone, not knowing what he was looking at.

Even though the food was on the table, it was a bit unreasonable for him to just wait and watch. How can there be any sense in playing with a mobile phone while putting big fish and meat in front of you without moving your chopsticks?

"I was reading an overseas news report that a player just shared in the community."

With that said, Yang Dong handed the phone to Chen Ba and motioned for him to look at it too.

"Overseas information?"

Chen Ba also became interested after hearing this. He put down the chopsticks in his hand, took Brother Dong's cell phone and started reading.

This is supposed to be a news report from Neon, but it has been professionally translated, so don’t worry about not understanding it.

"Cross-industry disruption from game developers, competition among new series from different worlds this quarter is brutal! 》

What the hell?

Just after reading the news headlines, Chen Ba felt like his head was buzzing, and he couldn't help but pinch Xiao Lu, who was sitting on his left.

"It hurts, it hurts~!"

"Brother Ba, why are you pinching me?"

"It's okay, I just want to tell if I'm dreaming."

After answering casually and ignoring Xiao Lu, who had a resentful look in his eyes, Chen Ba couldn't help but complain: "Who came up with this title to stir up trouble across banks?"

It’s a bit outrageous!

The strength of the animation industry is well known to everyone, and although the game industry is also quite large, it has always been incompatible with the animation industry.

Game developers cross industries to disrupt the situation. Why does this sound so familiar? Are you talking about Tianba Studio?

"Haha, you will know after just one look at the text!" Yang Dong smiled.

"Let me take a look. Doesn't it have anything to do with us? Could it be divine grace..."

Before Chen Ba finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the first line of the report and immediately swallowed the rest of the sentence.

Sure enough, his guess was correct.

The reason why players discovered this report and posted it in the community and was seen by Yang Dong is that the content must have something to do with "God's Grace Continent".

This report comes from ACGN Media, a Neon company specializing in serialized light novels, comics and animations.

In recent days, various different world animation videos that are independently edited and produced by individuals have frequently appeared on online media, and the content is extremely rich.

Because the painting style is too consistent and the background settings are similar, this has also attracted the attention of many people in the industry.

Mainly because there are too many!

There are so many animations with different world themes popping up on the Internet, and the style and background setting system is like toilet paper produced on the same assembly line. Who is not curious?

In the neon ACGN circle, there has been a passion for otherworld themes in the past few years, and a large number of high-quality toilet papers have emerged.

In the past two years, although the theme of different worlds is not as popular as before, it is still one of the most popular themes, comparable to the fairy tales and fantasy in online literature.

A large number of otherworldly toilet paper anime with "unknown origins" have emerged on the Internet, and many viewers have subscribed to broadcast them. People in the industry must want to know, who created these?

I found out after asking around.

These different world animations with the same style and background settings are all produced by individual users, based on the actual footage of an RPG adventure game, and edited and dubbed.

A game? !

After learning this result, many neon animation producers lit up a cigarette and fell into endless contemplation.

I thought I was invincible in the field of animation, but unexpectedly my enemy came from the sky?

No, what is going on?

The group of people were confused and became very interested in "God's Grace Continent", an RPG adventure game from China.

After they tried it out and experienced the special features of "God's Grace Continent" for themselves, they were immediately speechless.

This game is harmful!

Although the graphics are rough and the movements are stiff, the NPC is so smart and flexible.

the most important is……

The birth of this game directly dealt a heavy blow to the anime theme of isekai.

Although the mass production of toilet paper does not meet the quality standard, toilet paper is a fun and enjoyable thing to look at, isn't it?

Do you habitually smell the scent of toilet paper before wiping your butt?

The most terrifying thing about "God's Grace Continent" is that there are really too many NPCs, which can produce toilet paper in batches.

Moreover, each NPC is a relatively independent character from another world. After locking the perspective, his experience can be viewed as a new animation from another world.

How can this be done?

The isekai theme was already very complicated, but another cross-industry disruptor came and directly set a new threshold standard for isekai toilet paper anime.

After this, it is estimated that it will be difficult for new isekai shows to be aired shamelessly if they are not good enough.

The audience won't approve either.

After all, you didn’t do a good enough job, it’s also toilet paper, so why don’t I watch the Divine Grace video? Although it is a game, there is plenty of toilet paper, so you don’t have to endure the trouble of running out of paper when you want to go to the toilet.

"God's Grace Continent, a new standard for toilet paper in another world!"

At the end of the report, the media said angrily that the animation company that produces toilet paper should work harder.

We are also producing toilet paper. The toilet paper you produce is only small in quantity. The key is that it cannot wipe your butt clean. Can it be used?

Let’s take a look at “The Continent of God’s Grace” produced by Tianba Studio. Toilet paper is produced on an assembly line and quality is strictly controlled. The key is high output!

If we don’t work hard, high-end toilet paper may still be used by people, but the lower-end otherworld toilet paper anime will really be wiped out by "God's Grace Continent".

"Already killed!"

Yang Dong couldn't help laughing and said: "There has been a new anime from another world, and the comment section has been flooded with comments like "It doesn't feel as good as God's Grace Continent." "

It's not even as good as the Divine Grace Continent. What do I need your toilet paper for?

Brother Ba, the light of the toilet paper industry!

A certain top 100 UP master in the Perak and Thunder animation area, in the latest "New Series Guide" video, raved about a new original series from a different world.

"... To be honest, I don't know what the screenwriter is thinking. How has the theme of another world been rolled up? How dare you come out and embarrass yourself at this level?"

"My suggestion is, why not buy a copy of "God's Grace Continent" and go home to have fun and see how Brother Ba makes toilet paper!"

"Some friends may ask, which well-known animation producer is Brother Ba, and which new work from another world is Divine Grace Continent..."

"The answer is no. Shen'en Continent is an RPG adventure game developed by Tianba Studio, and Brother Ba is the producer of this game."

"This game is also called the International Standard for Toilet Paper. There is no need to even look at toilet paper animations that do not meet this standard..."

As the saying goes, first-rate companies make standards, second-rate companies make brands, third-rate companies make products, and low-grade companies sell buildings!

Although Tianba Studio does not have the ability to "set standards" in the game industry, in the toilet paper industry, "God's Grace Continent" has become a new standard.

The audience was okay and acceptable.

You can enjoy the feeling of "looking at toilet paper" for only 68 yuan, which is really a lot of money.

The expressions of animation companies are like constipation, especially those companies that produce toilet paper isekai anime, and they can't wait to chop them into meat paste for the so-called "big brother" of netizens.

You are just a game developer, why do you come to the animation industry to stir up trouble? Do you have any say here?

Where is the security guard? Where is the security guard?

Get rid of this bitch named GameBugs quickly, don’t let him stop selling 68-yuan large-volume, full-tube, assembly-line industrial toilet paper!

"Huh? New industry standard?"

Chen Ba, who had unknowingly established an industry standard, couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.

Is it that easy to set industry standards?

Doesn’t it mean that only first-class companies can set industry standards? So based on this reasoning, Tianba Studio turns out to be a first-class enterprise?

"It's actually easy to understand."

While Brother Ba and Brother Dong were chatting, Xiao Lu secretly finished a pork knuckle, wiped his mouth with a piece of paper and said, "Don't underestimate the word "big quantity, big control".

"Think about it for a second. If one day, an Internet company develops an AI game production software. As long as you enter keywords, you can generate a new game. What impact will that have on the game industry?"

"That makes sense."

Yang Dong nodded and said: "If this kind of software really exists, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for many game developers who are not enterprising."

The situation assumed by Xiao Lu will have an impact on top game producers, but not very much, because AI cannot reach that level.

But for the middle and lower class, game producers who are just dawdling and resting on their laurels, it is a disaster.

Once the game you make is not as fun as the game generated by AI, it will not attract players at all. After all, the "volume" that AI can provide is too terrifying.

"This example is not very accurate. We should take today's AI drawing as an example."

Chen Ba explained: ""The Continent of God's Grace" is like a large AI painting model. Although it has shortcomings of one kind or another, the biggest advantage is industrial assembly line production because of its large volume and sufficient management."

Skilled painters should still make money, because AI cannot replace them yet.

But those painters who are not skilled in skills and are too lazy to learn and improve are destined to be unemployed in the face of the impact of AI.

This is the condition of "God's Grace Continent".

Judging from the standards of Toilet Paper anime from another world, the quality of the animation produced based on this game cannot be said to be that high or amazing. After all, it is a game!

Therefore, those already excellent isekai animations will not be affected, and they will remain popular...

But those shoddy different world toilet paper animations will be at a loss when faced with the game "God's Grace Continent" and don't know what to do.

The toilet paper produced by industrial assembly lines is easier to use than you, has larger quantities than you, and is even cheaper than you in a certain sense. How can this compete?

The audience is not blind.

The reason why I endured all kinds of shoddy toilet paper from another world in the past was because I had no choice and there were only so many new anime.

Can it be the same now?

You can spend 68 yuan to watch "God's Grace Continent" to your heart's content. The shoddy animation of toilet paper from another world has lost the soil it needs to survive.

"But I didn't want to produce toilet paper, let alone set industry standards for toilet paper..."

Picking up a piece of braised pork and putting it in his mouth, he realized it was a potato. Chen Ba said with a somewhat bitter expression, "I just want to make an RPG game and then go to TGA to receive the award."

"Don't even think about it TGA."

Yang Dong comforted: "The good news is that this year's best online animation award is very likely to be awarded to "The Adventures of Jayne". Then you can go and take advantage of it and receive an award."

Chen Ba: "..."

Is it appropriate for him, a game producer, to go to an animation awards ceremony to receive an award?

He wants to win the TGA award!

"It's okay! We can't get it from TGA. We have other awards. It's said that Barenshuo will give us the best dealer award..."

Not only did Xiao Lu's comfort not have any effect, it actually made Chen Ba feel even more depressed after listening to it.

The Internet Animation Award, the Best Dealer Award issued by the graphics card manufacturer...these awards don't sound like serious awards!

As a game studio, Tianba Studio, can you win some awards related to the game industry?

Otherwise, when people visit Tianba Studio and look at the honor display wall, wouldn’t they immediately doubt their life and think that they have entered the wrong place?

"Game related..."

Yang Dong pondered: "It's not impossible. Didn't the Dream Engine official invite us to participate in the annual developer conference? "Star Emperor" is likely to be the best development case this year."

The official game of Dream Engine is very rare for "Star Emperor". Every time the Dream Engine is promoted to the outside world, "Star Emperor" will be pulled out to show off.

Of course, this is not the most extreme thing.

The most outrageous thing is Lao Huang and Su Ma. Every time the N card and A card release technology and new card demonstrations, they all use the game "Star Emperor".

Lao Huang is okay, he doesn't really care about bad gamers, he just chats occasionally.

Mother Su is different.

Card A was completely proud in "Star Emperor". In order to prove that Card A doesn't have to fight in the future and can beat Card N now, why don't we use "Star Emperor" as an argument?
