Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 310: No more pretending, I am a DLC maniac, I show my cards (please subscribe)
High-end private restaurant, in the private room on the third floor.

Green hills, hundreds of flowers, sycamores, and wind blowing, the heads of four game companies gathered here.

There were delicious dishes on the table, but not only did they not take a glance at it, but all of them looked sad.

Yes……

According to the countermeasures they had discussed before, this wave was to let Cai Gou's second boot fall to the ground.

But no one told them that this second boot was still a twin?
Ark·Survival Evolved This game has rare dinosaur elements and is unique in the entire survival construction track.

If that's all, then that's it.

Rather...

Taipingdao unexpectedly developed a virtual helmet with the function of synchronizing the taste of players, not too early or too late.

The chemical reaction between Ark·Survival Evolved and Jiegan II was so intense and ferocious that it sent a blast of firepower to the gaming industry.

A game of this level, paired with an epoch-making virtual helmet, cannot eliminate its influence just by time.

For these four leading players, this second boot is undoubtedly fatal.

The heads of Qingshan and Baihua companies turned their heads and looked at each other. They could almost see the fear hidden deep in their souls from the depths of the other's eyes.

Isn’t this a fart?
Who will die in this wave?

Jiang Zhihao, the head of Wutong Game Company, was originally the most miserable among the four young players.

But this time Qingshan Game Company played in the ring, it was equivalent to Zheng Min hitting a three, and the opponent directly came with a king bomb. It didn't matter whether Cai Gou knew how to fight the landlord, he just crushed him!

This time, Zheng Min became the worst offender, and Jiang Zhihao was nothing.

Jiang Zhihao said with a slightly gloating tone: "What should we do now? Will it go according to the original plan? If it goes according to the original plan, Baihua will release the game, right?"

Baihua Game Company's Qian Rui quickly shook his head when he heard this: "Don't be kidding me. Do you understand Jiegang No. 2? Do you understand the player's taste synchronization function? Do you understand the value of Ark Survival Evolved?"

“I’m releasing the game now, but it’s just adding a visible defeater to Ark: Survival Evolved. Does this make sense?”

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience fell into silence.

Although what Qian Rui said was unpleasant, it was true and no one could argue with it.

Liu Mufeng asked: "What if we don't go according to the original plan? What should we do? Are we four well-known companies in the game industry pretending to be ostriches and burying our heads in the sand?"

Zheng Min crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, lit another cigarette seamlessly, took a deep breath and said, "What else?"

"What?" Liu Mufeng asked.

"What if I said otherwise?" Zheng Min raised his head and looked at him:

"Qian Rui is right. Players' taste synchronization. This function not only makes Ark: Survival Evolved an order of magnitude higher than ours. It also completely changes the virtual game platform..."

"The holistic gaming cabin that Cai Gou mentioned includes pain and five senses. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is just an innovation of the player's taste synchronization function, and then the virtual gaming platform of Taipingdao is opened to the outside world."

"Tell me, what will happen?"

The scene fell into silence...

What will happen?
They will be isolated from the entire industry!

There is no need for Cai Gou to express his position clearly, other game manufacturers will take the initiative to attack them, just to have a say with Cai Gou and have the opportunity to join this gluttonous feast.

The four of them seemed to be on a small boat at the moment, on a rough sea, helplessly waiting for the huge waves to hit, trying their best, but there was nothing they could do.

At this moment, Liu Mufeng's cell phone rang, and the other three people were suddenly interrupted from their thoughts. They raised their heads with unhappy expressions on their faces.

Liu Mufeng had an apology on his face. He was about to say a few words of apology, but unexpectedly, the other three people's mobile phones also started ringing at the same time.

Qian Rui saw this and signaled: "Take it, there may be something urgent."

The other three people answered the phone one after another.

Qian Rui also answered the phone and heard the secretary on the other end of the phone say:

"Mr. Qian, Taipingdao has just released a scarf, listing the DLC lists for Ark: Survival Evolved and Stardew Valley, and said that if players want to play the DLC, players should urge our four game companies to release the games as soon as possible... …”

The more Qian Rui listened, the darker his face became. In the end, his whole face was as dark as coal. He hung up the phone and looked at each other with the other three people. From their eyes, everyone understood that the four people were talking about the same thing on the phone. thing.

Qian Rui was not interested in talking and directly opened Taipingdao's scarf. She wanted to see how Cai Gou expressed his position.

【Taiping Road——】

[I originally planned to get along with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in exchange was alienation. Stop pretending, I am a DLC maniac, and I show my cards! 】

[Stardew Valley DLC: East Scarp! 】

[Ark·Survival Evolved DLC: Valghero, Wonderland, Extinction, Aberration, Scorched Earth, Original Ark, Central Island, Genesis, Crystal Island! 】

[Adhering to the purpose of learning from the four friends of Qingshan, Baihua, Wutong, and Fengqi, multiple DLCs are waiting for you! 】

[If you want to play the DLC, why don’t you urge your friends to release the game as soon as possible? The more powerful you are in urging, the more powerful the DLC will be released! 】

[For specific details of Stardew Valley and Ark·Survival Evolved DLC, please pay attention to the large-scale DLC live broadcast conference of Taipingdao at 2 o'clock this afternoon. There are many DLCs, there is always one suitable for you! 】

Qian Rui: "..."

Player: "!!!"

This scarf is really——

The opponent's silence causes real damage and breaks defense.

The friendly troops were shocked, ecstatic and laughing.

The comment area is filled with excited comments from players.

"I thought that the player of Jiegang No. 2 had synchronized taste and was invincible in the world. I didn't expect that there was someone braver than him. Whose general is this?"

"General Tiangong: I am the DLC madman!"

"Okay, the old thief has another nickname from now on!"

"Good guys, I'm just saying good guys, in addition to [SVE] and [Richside Village], Stardew Valley also has a large-scale expansion DLC? The name [Eastscape] is very fun as soon as I hear it!"

"What is the DLC of Stardew Valley? If you look at the DLC of Ark: Survival Evolved, it is called horror. The main game is already fun enough. Unexpectedly, Ark: Survival Evolved has nine more DLCs, a total of nine DLCs ”

"Summoning the Dragon only requires seven Dragon Balls. I didn't expect that Ark Survival Evolved would have nine DLCs. It's outrageous. It's outrageous!"

"Nine DLCs, nine new maps? Doesn't that mean there will be a lot more animals and plants? Cyber ​​mukbang ecstasy!"

"Green Mountain, Hundred Flowers? Wutong? Wind Rises? I'm going to urge them to release the game. In order for us to play the DLC as soon as possible, you should hurry up and die!"

Douyu live broadcast platform, game area.

Even though he has a small number of followers, he is a solid anchor on the game Stardew Valley. Under the urging of water friends, he read the scarf of Peace Road and found that Stardew Valley actually has a new DLC [East Scarp]. Can you bear this?

He hurriedly posted a series of four-click comments in the official WeChat comment areas of the four game companies: Qingshan, Baihua, Wutong, and Fengqi. He summed it up in one sentence -

"The old thief asked me to bring you a message - a quick game!"

The comment areas of these four official accounts were filled with Yellow Turbans and players who rushed over, urging these four game companies to release games for Stardew Valley or Ark: Survival Evolved DLC. .

Gonghuo three-piece set——

Well done, stay alert and don't lose your place.

They are everywhere in the comment section.

In the restaurant box, after seeing the scarf, Qian Rui was like a deflated rubber ball, slumped on a chair.

When she raised her head and looked around, she found that the conditions of the other three were not much better.

silence.

Still silent.

After a full quarter of an hour, Liu Mufeng from Fengqi Game Company said in a difficult tone:
"Haha... Stardew Valley still has a blockbuster DLC [Eastscape] that has not been released. Ark. Survival Evolved has nine DLCs that have not been released. Cai Gou has been waiting for us to jump in. ah?"

Qian Rui sighed after hearing this: "My previous fighting style was not like this, and now I don't know what happened to him, so he changed to playing the bright card... If he really wants to fight, he will die. If he doesn't fight, he will die."

"How did it come to this?"

Thinking of this, Qian Rui felt as if her head was going to explode. She had a migraine attack. She quickly took out the medicine bottle from her bag and took the medicine.

"do not fight……"

Jiang Zhihao, the head of Wutong Game Company, shook his head and said: "Just like Zheng Min said, it is better to be an ostrich and bury your head in the sand now, and pretend that nothing happened."

When Liu Mufeng saw that someone had said this, he quickly agreed: "I mean the same thing. If you fight again, you will be humiliating yourself. It's better to let time dilute all this."

Who knows, at this moment, Zheng Min asked a heart-stopping question:

"In this arena, you quit when you say quit? Will Cai Gou let you go? Will those players who are waiting to play the DLC let you go? Will those game manufacturers who are waiting to join the Jie Gan II virtual game platform let you go?"

After three consecutive questions, everyone became even more silent.

Liu Mufeng was the youngest and the most restless among the four. Hearing this, he said impatiently:
"Old Zheng, when we rushed there in a hurry, don't forget that it was you who first agreed to the strategy of pretending to be an ostrich."

"At that time, who among us knew that Cai Gou had so many DLCs? Who among us knew that Cai Gou would release such a scarf? Who among us knew that Cai Gou would come up with such a strategy to force the palace?" Zheng Min took a deep breath and said:

"I refute you because I want to tell you that today is different from the past. Everything is different. Cai Gou seems to have given us two roads, but either of them is a dead end."

Qian Rui rubbed the medicine bottle in his hand and asked: "What should we do? According to the two roads you said, we can't go, we can only wait to die?"

"That's not necessarily the case!" Zheng Min raised his head and showed a sinister smile:

"The four of us tied together can't defeat Cai Gou, but someone can cure him!"

"Who?" Qian Rui asked.

"Game Office of the Entertainment Office!"

Qian Rui: "..."

Liu Mufeng: "..."

Jiang Zhihao: "..."

The relationship between Cai Gou and Liu Shu, or Taipingdao and the officialdom, is beyond even their flattery. Taking the initiative to come forward to the official in this matter, there is always a feeling that they can't afford to sue the teacher.

Zheng Min carefully observed the expressions of the three people and understood what they were thinking, and explained: "The better the relationship, the more you have to avoid suspicion at times like this."

"Cai Gou's handling of this matter has never been out of line before, but today's operation, no matter how you look at it, it's not out of line, right?"

"We reported to the Game Office of the Cultural and Entertainment Office on the grounds that Taipingdao disrupted the normal operations of other game companies and maliciously hindered the orderly development of other game companies."

"Making this matter a big deal, letting the officials go to hell, muddying the water completely, only then can we have a chance to survive." Zheng Min said:
"If we do this, we will be able to take the third path out of the two paths designed by Cai Gou..."

Seeing that the other three did not express their opinions after finishing speaking, Zheng Min continued: "Things can't be worse than they are now, right?"

Like before, the release of the game disrupts Taipingdao's annual plan and interferes with his participation in the Journey Cup competition?

In the face of two games, Stardew Valley and Ark: Survival Evolved, and a total of ten DLCs, this is simply a joke.

The three of them thought about it before nodding in turn.

When things come to a head, it seems like this is all we can do.

Qian Rui said: "Old Zheng's method is better than the two ways Cai Gou gave us. I will go back today and let the secretary draft a report."

"Me too!" Liu Mufeng gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't give us a way to survive, then no one will survive!"

Jiang Zhihao reminded: "Remember to write the report as serious as possible. By the way, agree on a time and hand it in together at that time, or send a representative to hand it in together."

"Then leave this matter to me." Zheng Min raised his hand and said:

"You ask your subordinates to write a report and send the document to me. I will submit it to the Game Office of the Entertainment Office in the name of the four game companies tomorrow."

The other three nodded immediately after hearing this.

After discussing the countermeasures, they dispersed one after another, preparing to act according to the plan.

At the same time, Wuwo squatted in the live broadcast room of the upcoming large-scale DLC live broadcast conference on Taiping Road, waiting for the conference to be officially held and for the old thief to appear.

In the live broadcast room.

Wu Xiu folded the toys in his hands and said to everyone: "Oh, by the way, during the last DLC live broadcast conference, didn't some friends ask about Taiping Road recruitment?"

"After discussions at the Taipingdao high-level meeting, we decided that in this year's summer recruitment, in addition to recruiting a group of intern college students in this major, we will also send invitations to independent game designers."

Speaking of this, Wu Xiu shrugged and said with a smile: "After all, as you know, the entries for the Journey Cup are not fuel-efficient."

As soon as these words came out, the live broadcast room instantly boiled.

Taipingdao is well-known in the gaming circle for its high benefits, high treatment, and high wages.

New game designers, as well as independent game designers who have been in the game industry for several years, all dream of having such an opportunity.

Just when the barrage in the live broadcast room was flooding the screen like crazy, I wanted Wu Xiu to introduce a few more details about summer recruitment.

But he glanced at the door, then stood up and said:

"We'll talk about recruitment later. General Tiangong has arrived at the live broadcast room. Let's stop chatting. This large-scale DLC live broadcast conference has officially begun!"
