Game Production: I've Really Landed

Chapter 219 The Second Heart Seedling Project

Is there anything worse than electronic ED?
Sitting in front of the computer, looking at every game on the desktop that has accompanied him for at least dozens of hours, Goudan feels like crying.

I can't arouse any interest, even a half-hour short, flat and fast game like Tudou Brothers, I don't have any desire to open it at all.

But it's so boring to death, I don't know what to do at all.

"Well, Luobai Dogecoin, there will be no mirror DLC, I will remember."

Secretly scolding a game producer who didn't know what to do, Goudan subconsciously opened his Fetion, and opened the official account of "Chuxin Game Media".

[Casual Play Issue 13]
Unexpected update, or "play casually" this column.

A hint of surprise flashed in Goudan's eyes.

As the column with the most favorable comments in the entire official account, this series is mainly to recommend games to players.

Moreover, compared to the most extensive and hottest games on the market, the person in charge of Casual Play is dedicated to panning for gold in the sand.

Many of the games that are not well-known in China, but have passed the quality level, are all discovered by "playing casually".

Moreover, when some games do not have built-in official Chinese, the person in charge of playing casually will even spend time to produce Chinese patches.

I remember that there was a niche game called "Absolute Assessment" before, and the author was from Switzerland.

Before the game was discovered by casual play, the sales volume was not even .

But after being recommended by Chuxin and quickly pulling out the Chinese patch, this game quickly won the favor of domestic players with its ingenious mechanism design.

Sales also broke through the mark in a very short period of time.

The creators of the game even posted a thank you video publicly.

After being uploaded to Xiaopozhan, it also won millions of views.

Players are talking internally.

Go to the "play whatever you want" game, only the ones that are not suitable for you, and absolutely no bad ones.

Especially when all the games that are shared are niche games, it is even more commendable.

But such a good column also has a shortcoming - the update is too slow.

Although it is understandable, after all, panning for gold in the sand always takes time.

However, Mr. Luo, we have written down this account!

Let's take a look at some fun games.

[Good deeds and villains]
[Rating: B]
[Price: 36 yuan]
[Introduction: An interesting 2D top-down perspective puzzle game.

The protagonist of the story, Charlie, is a villain. He bullies the weak and fears the strong, and commits all kinds of evil.

After being released from prison, his bad habits were hard to change, and he once again set his sights on those marginalized people who had suffered a lot.

In the game, you will play a pair of invisible big hands, freely adjust the materials in the level, and skillfully transform Charlie's viciousness into good deeds.

Let Charlie's story of self-redemption in the process of saving others. ]

36?It's pretty cheap.

Goudan didn't say anything, just turned on Steam, and after successfully searching for this game, he decisively scanned the QR code to pay.

As soon as I opened the comment area, as expected, all the comments from domestic players who came to team building came into view.

"The game recommended by Chuxin, buy it and it's over."

"The deciphering part is particularly interesting. Although the plot of exchanging poison for laxatives is a bit of a spoof, it's still quite funny."

"Then the question is, when will Mr. Luo release the mirror DLC?"

Goudan silently copied and pasted the last comment, and continued to play casually.

As for the good and evil here...

how?Bought all the games and you still let me play?
I can not play, but I can not live without!

Humph.

The quality of the next few games is also not bad.

Except for two unacceptable themes, the rest of the games have been bought.

And then... emptiness again.

"Uh ah ah ah ah!"

Goudan let out a foul roar, but saw that the official account of "Chuxin Game Media" was updated again.

[The Second Heart Seedling Project is coming! ]
Dog egg:? !

Immediately opened the group chat and shared the link to the group.

Goudan: "@All Members, damn it! The nd Chuxin Nurturing Plan!"

Chang Wan: "Hey, it's ok, I'm looking forward to it, well, I can see the works of folk gods again."

Wu Shengtui: "Yihuangshen's first seedling plan for the first heart was three years ago."

Old Lu: "It is more reasonable to hold this kind of thing every two or three years, after all, game development also takes time.

It just so happens that the development of Doom has just ended recently?The original intention is free to know. "

Chang Wan: "Speaking of this, Mr. Luo is going to make a horror game, so I'm looking forward to it."

Goudan: "I vomited, now the dog thief is forcing the game purely for his own pleasure.

You said Mirror, Ori, Black Soul, Hollow, which game won't be a direct hit if its sequel is released?Hard to do a new trick. "

Old Lu: "I can't help it. I can only wait for Mr. Luo to have enough fun and consider making a sequel. I have a headache."

As for Er Xiao?

Great!There is a new game to play!
As soon as the news that the second Chuxin Nurturing Project was about to be held, it quickly shocked the entire domestic game circle.

The spring of all domestic independent game developers has finally come again.

After all, there are predecessors who are in front of them.

The first seedling project of the original heart, in addition to the legend of the mountains and seas that became the background board.

The authors of the three games, including War of the Wild, Eclipse, and Mizuki, undoubtedly made a lot of money.

And because of the generosity of the original intention in terms of copyright.

Among them, "Mizuki Herbivorous Man Can't Meet God's Big Rock Sister" was the best-selling at first.

Later, because the copyright was continuously developed into TV series, movies, and audiobooks, it was fed back to the sales of the game itself.

The copyright fee was soft, and he directly settled in the imperial capital to buy a house and a car, completing the class leap.

Become a real winner in life.

At that time, as soon as the news of the second seedling project was released, countless game developers with dreams in their hearts were also gearing up to join this feast.

……

"It's still the same principle, quality first, and we are not the kind of company that wins customers first and then cuts leeks."

On Luo Bai's side, while instructing Pu Xingyu, while wearing earphones, he concentrated on experiencing the game demos of the contestants.

First of all, I still have to sigh with emotion. Compared with the first "Chuxin Nurturing Project", the second entry's entries are undoubtedly of a higher level in terms of quality and maturity.

At the first session, many demos were still very old 2D scrolling games, and the characters' movements were also stiff.

But in the second session now, not only the poor quality demos disappeared, but also many 3D game demos with excellent modeling.

There are two reasons.

On the one hand, the technical lower limit of domestic game developers has indeed broken through, and on the other hand...

It is estimated that many of the second Chuxin Nurturing Plan are not seedlings, but towering trees.

All of them are old fritters who don't know how many years have been in the industry, and they even ran over to play the Baby Cup, not talking about martial arts!

But, after all, we are a nursery project.

Creativity speaks.

The quality of the demo can be poor, and the original professional team can help find a way.

You old fritters may not be able to do better than young people.

"Brother Luo, why are there so many GALs this year?"

Pu Xingyu sighed, as a ginseng winner who was "nurtured" by his big sister, he really couldn't understand the fun of GAL.

"Shuimu's fame has spread, I remember Yusheng played a certain music.

Every day is to show off his big house, show off his wife and baby, it's no wonder everyone is not jealous. "

Luo Bai explained, then shook his head and smiled,
"But how can GAL be so easy to do? The book that people spent several years grinding out is completely different from the novelty that is written only to make money.

As far as all the GAL demos I have seen so far, the quality is generally not high.

Either it's a dump truck traveling through another world, or it's a humanoid self-propelled cannon, or even some disgusting stuff like insect love... Vomit! "

Pu Xingyu also laughed, and the whole office was filled with joy.

It happened to be about the game developers of the last Chuxin Nurturing Project, and Luo Bai suddenly remembered something:
"I remember that Wilderness Wars 2 is coming out soon, right?"

Since it is a seedling program, the purpose is to cultivate some domestic stand-alone game developers who can be on the table.

It's impossible to cultivate a game that sells well, so just ignore it as a shopkeeper.

In the follow-up, Chuxin also has the important task of urging those game developers to expand their game studios, absorb more industry personnel, and produce more games that can be loved by players.

During this process, Chuxin will also provide assistance within its capacity to push these studios towards independence as soon as possible.

For example, Great Wilderness Game Studio is doing very well. It took two years, and now Great Wilderness 2 is coming out soon.

Compared with the previous one, whether it is the richness of the content, the performance of the characters, or the expansion of the world view, there has been a lot of improvement.

Luo Bai played the Great Wilderness 2 by himself. Although there is still room for improvement in terms of quality, Luo Bai does not intend to help modify it as hard as he did last time.

Studios always need to rely on themselves to gradually mature.

But with the addition of fans of the previous work, I believe there is no problem in making money.

"Yes, Great Wilderness 2 has already passed the inside, I guess Xiao Ding didn't expect that we will start the second seedling program at this time.

There is no need to worry about publicity issues. "

Pu Xingyu smiled happily.

"I'll talk to Mr. Xiao later, and try to help if I can..."

Luo Bai muttered to himself, then thought of something,
"Where's Xiao Lu? He seems to be quiet after the solar eclipse, right?"

Luo Bai also has a lot of things to do every day, so naturally it is impossible to ask about everything.

The developer of the Great Wilderness Wars, Zhao Ding, is the kind of person who is very good at dealing with affairs, and often calls Luo Bai to ask about some things.

For example, the difficulties in the game development process, such as some setbacks in the studio operation process.

Therefore, Luo Bai knows the progress of the development of Great Wilderness 2.

But Xiao Lu, the author of Eclipse, never took the initiative to find him, so Luo Bai is not very clear about the follow-up situation of Eclipse Studio.

He has limited energy.

"He..."

The expression on Pu Xingyu's face was a bit complicated.

"Could it be that like Yusheng, she plans to retire after success?"

Luo Bai asked suspiciously.

According to Yang Yusheng, Mizuki's book had drained all the inspiration from his mind, and it was a surprise to be able to make so much money.

If there are any ideas in the future, if Chu Xin is willing to take over, he will definitely give Chu Xin to do it.

My own studio has been disbanded-although there are only three or four people, the music is still outsourced.

"That's not it."

Pu Xingyu shook his head and sighed,
"Lu Yan has a rather stubborn personality. He said that even if he wants to release a new game, he must make a game that can surpass the solar eclipse.

The current state has completely fallen into a kind of self-inflicted friction.

I can't go up and I don't want to come down, I'm stuck there. "

"Let me talk to him sometime."

Luo Bai said seriously.

Lu Yan is undoubtedly one of the most talented game producers that Luo Bai has seen among the younger generation of Yan Kingdom.

But game creation is really art creation.

Although it is true that the feeling of not being crazy and not alive is needed, in a sense, inspiration is too mysterious.

It's not what you say you can have.

On the contrary, Zhao Ding was more pragmatic. Anyway, he didn't know what to do, so he just made Great Wilderness 2.

At that time, under the original intention to check the quality, I made a lot of considerations about the choice of game content.

Many designs and ideas that Zhao Ding came up with at the time were never used because the conditions were not mature.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai suddenly thought of something, and the expression on his face suddenly became excited:

"By the way, why don't you call the three of them over to be judges and teachers together.

There is also a degree of topicality, which happens to be able to show a feeling of inheritance from old to new.

By the way, I also want to talk to Xiao Lu. "

"You've got garlic."

Originally, I wanted to talk about other things, but the vibrating mobile phone at my waist interrupted Luo Bai's thoughts.

It was a completely unfamiliar number.

After connecting, Luo Bai was afraid that he would call the wrong name, so he didn't speak, and planned to hear who was on the other side first.

The other side also fell into silence for a few seconds, but soon, there was a hearty laugh:

"Is it Luo Bai? I'm Shao Qiang, the teacher in charge of your university!"

"Brother Qiang is good!"

There was also a smile on Luo Bai's face.

After the simple greetings, the other party quickly explained the purpose of their visit.

I want to invite Luo Bai to give a lecture at his alma mater.

Ok……

　And still ~ still writing
