Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 41 The Same Front
"It's so fast. Boss Liu Wei is really fast!"

"In just a few days, a new game has been developed. This speed is a bit too shocking."

"Maybe it's a rubbish game."

"Won't we know in a few days?"

"Wait a minute, on the official website, this turns out to be a real-time strategy game, a domestic real-time strategy game, Bullfrog Bullfrog."

"Okay, it won't take a few days, and now I can say this is a garbage game."

"A real-time strategy game won't be the kind that uses real-time strategy in the name, but ends up playing the game of drawing cards for krypton gold, right?"

"What do you think of domestic games?"

"..."

Just when Liu Weixin's game "Red Alert" was discussed vigorously on the Internet.

Chunshi Media took action again.

But this time Chunshi Media was very smart. He didn't directly call Liu Wei's game rubbish by name.

Instead, he published an insinuation-like post called "Krypton gold, krypton gold, krypton gold again, where is the way out for domestic games?"

"Domestic games, once upon a time, these four words were also words that made the Chinese people proud, but I don't know since when, domestic games have been linked to the word 'deceiving krypton'."

"Thinking back to that time, domestic arcade games were rampant in the country, creating a short but glorious era."

"But now, when it comes to domestic games, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the word 'krypton gold'. How sad and miserable this is."

"The reason for this is that the core problem is still playing a certain type of game and playing a certain type of game. In the end, I played the card game of Chick's krypton gold..."

"Some games, on the surface, are real-time strategy games. In fact, characters have to be drawn by lottery, weapons have to be drawn by lottery, and even equipment has to be drawn by lottery, which completely loses the fun of the game itself."

"Here, the editor calls on all designers to not forget their original intentions and forge ahead. I also hope that all players can resist those bad games like the editor."

As soon as this post was posted.

It immediately attracted countless responses on the Internet, a large number of game media reposted it, and netizens from all walks of life also reposted it.

As for those game designers, it seems that the network connection is unstable at the moment, and the forwarding speed is slower than the last one.

……

"It's so annoying, aren't they obviously coming for us?"

In the experience store, Ling Jingwen threw down her phone and said angrily.

Chen Yaohui shrugged: "So what if you know they are here for us? This time they are standing at the commanding heights of the industry."

"In the name of doing everything for the advancement of the game industry, who dares to refute it?"

"Humph~" Ling Jingwen tilted her head.

She didn't want to talk to someone like Chen Yaohui who had no empathy.

Then a pair of round eyes looked at Liu Wei: "Student, say something!"

Liu Wei was a little confused: "What did you say?"

Ling Jingwen said angrily: "You guys are sitting on your neck and shit, why don't you, my junior fellow student, respond?"

"Oh, you said this post...it's well written, very good, I'll forward it too."

As if he had just thought of something, Liu Wei picked up his phone and forwarded a new post from Chunshi Media.

And also added a new sentence.

"Youyou said it well, how can we designers forget our original intentions in order to make money, and be the best."

On the Chunshi Media side, Yao Liyong almost exploded when he saw this post in his office.

Damn it, why is your reaction so dull?

What's your rebuttal?
What about your resistance?
What about your backbone?
Yao Liyong looked at the plan in his hand, his expression changing like a chameleon.

There are a few lines of big words written on the plan - a whitewash plan.

The first is to turn passive into active and take the initiative to attack.

Chunsil Media is at this stage now.

According to the plan, whether Liu Wei remains silent or makes objectionable remarks, he will have a response strategy.

But now, the whitewashing plan is stuck in the first step.

Not only did Liu Wei not object, but he also strongly supported it? !
"Are you kidding? Doesn't he know that what he's making is a 'domestic strategy game'?" Yao Liyong gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, his expression brilliant.

And because of Liu Wei's actions, he also had a vague suspicion.

"Could it be that...he is developing a domestic game without card draw?"

But immediately, Yao Liyong shook his head immediately.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
He is just a small D-level designer, how could he possibly develop such a game.

Moreover, making a buy-out game on the PC side, isn’t this purely about generating electricity with love?
At this moment, a phone rang, and Yao Liyong picked up the phone.

A voice came from the other end: "Director Yao, what should we do next?"

The subordinates are also confused now. The opponent is not going according to the plan at all, and they will not make any moves.

Boxing has no rules, how can it be broken?How to break?
After all, Yao Liyong has been in charge for many years, and he works relatively calmly, so he made a decision very quickly:
"Modify the plan a little. First, post Liu Wei's reply to us online. We will take the initiative to build momentum for him."

"what?"

The other end of the phone was in disbelief.

Director Yao, what does this mean?Aren't we enemies?
Why are you still building momentum for your opponent now?

Could it be that Director Yao, a fat-headed, big-eared man with sinister features and evil eyes, had abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side?
Director Yao smiled faintly and explained: "Although there is a lot of support for us on the Internet now, think about it, who hates us the most now?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone:
"Coming together?"

"No, as colleagues, what we fear most is not grabbing traffic, but having no traffic news to report. We have proactively provided a large traffic channel, and they don't have to take the blame. How could they hate us?"

"It can't be our peers. Players must support us. Could it be those game designers?"

Yao Liyong snapped his fingers:

"That's right. Even though those designers are supporting us now, secretly they must hate us."

The other end of the phone fell into silence again, not daring to answer the call.

Isn’t this nonsense? This is the current domestic environment.

Although the price of VR games and AR games is almost a thousand less per copy, the problem is that people who can afford VR and AR games can’t afford this small price difference.

Those who make virtual games simply don’t care about the small money of PC games.

On the contrary, there are those designers who are neither above nor below, and are in the middle level.

If we don't have inspiration, we don't have ability, we can only play emotional games and 'learn' from each other's best aspects, so we can barely maintain our lives.

But now, Chunshi Media has undoubtedly torn off this fig leaf, exposing everyone's ugly inner nakedness in front of the players.

It would be amazing if these designers can sincerely support us.

"But what does it have to do with us building momentum for Liu Wei?" The person on the phone still didn't understand.

Yao Liyong sighed, as if lamenting the stupidity on the other side:
"Think about it, Liu Wei supports us, so who is he standing on the same level as?"

Hearing this, the other person suddenly realized:

"Standing with us, but offending the interests of most people in the industry."

Yao Liyong nodded: "Yes, if he follows our direction, he will be isolated in the industry, and there will be no reason for other designers to exchange experiences with him."

"But," said the other end of the phone, "this way, he will receive strong support from the players, just in case..."

"What if you're too big!" Yao Liyong's temper immediately became violent, and he scolded the other person.

"He is just a small D-level designer. How can he still develop a game that shocks the whole country?"

The person on the other end of the phone immediately begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Yao Liyong's temper improved a little: "Don't worry, he has offended people in the industry. Although he has gained the love of players, as long as he cannot make any qualified games, he will gradually disappear from the public's sight."

The other person immediately flattered him: "As expected of Director Yao, he is really smart..."

After hanging up the phone, the corners of Yao Liyong's mouth raised 45 degrees.

"Hmph, Liu Wei, let me see how you are fighting with me this time?"

As for Liu Wei, will he develop a hit game?
It was just an accident before, but this time it is absolutely impossible!
