Have you ever made games? Then you should write about games!

Over the next few days.

While Chinese players were enthusiastically playing the new version of Terraria, foreign players either had to bypass China's internet firewall to play the Chinese version of Terraria, enduring one completely unrecognizable Chinese character after another.

You can either watch videos uploaded by bloggers featuring Chinese game streamers playing the latest version of Terraria to get a sneak peek at the game content of the 1.4 update.

Then, we eagerly awaited the release of Terraria's international version 1.4.

Despite such treatment, the vast majority of overseas players still chose to refuse when offered to give Terraria low scores.

After all, while most people have inevitably suffered from the erosion of racism, their thinking has not reached an extreme level.

Moreover, it seems that the practice of launching new game versions in different regions was first initiated by game developers in Europe and America.

In Huadu, in an ordinary residential community.

Slice Guy meticulously fiddled with the computer, following the prompts step by step: first, register a YouTube video account, and then upload the translated video.

"Are you asking for a username?"

Looking at the input box that popped up on the computer screen, Slicer-Kun pondered for a moment, then typed in the words "Slicer-Kun".

According to the translation software, these two words are the English translation of "片片君" (piàn piàn jūn).

After a series of tedious steps, SliceJun finally registered his main YouTube video account and posted his first video on the account.

This is a video clip from Chinese game streamer Su Tao.

"I have to say, AI software is developing really fast. You can just input Chinese text and it will be translated directly into English. But I've heard that foreigners aren't very good at reading subtitles?"

Slice-kun didn't care too much. If foreigners couldn't understand it, they could learn to read it. That's how Chinese gamers all started.

How come Chinese people can do it, but foreigners can't?

After posting the video, SliceJun immediately logged out of the VPN and did not choose to browse overseas networks.

After all, apart from Chinese, he was completely ignorant of other languages.

However, what Slice Jun didn't know was that his video's views on YouTube skyrocketed as soon as it was released.

200...3000...70000...200000...

The game content of Terraria version 1.4 and the lively and lovely Chinese female streamer became the two key elements that made this video go viral.

……

"Mr. Chen, a video about Terraria version 1.4 has appeared on YouTube. It's a video clip of streamer Su Tao, and it has already been viewed over 500,000 times."

Based on the growth trend, this video is very likely to surpass one million views.

In Chen Dong's office, Yin Qingying held a tablet and coldly reported the news.

"Moreover, based on the video creator's name, video style, and content source, it seems to be a very active content creator in China, SliceJun."

"I never imagined he'd become so popular overseas."

Chen Dong smiled, his voice tinged with a hint of teasing.

After a moment's thought, Chen Dong continued.

"In that case, let's give Slice-kun a boost in traffic on StarCard Games' official account."

Letting overseas players see the 1.4 update content in advance might inspire some of them to buy it.

Yin Qingying nodded, but did not leave. Instead, she spoke hesitantly.

"Mr. Chen, Product Development Department Three has completed preparations for the international version 1.4 launch. Should we launch it sooner rather than later to avoid delaying it and affecting players' purchasing enthusiasm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Dong shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

"No need. Truly fun games are those that can be called the ninth art, and players are more than willing to pay money for art, even if they have to wait a while."

Seeing this, Yin Qingying stopped insisting.

Only after the door closed did Chen Dong refocus his attention on the computer screen.

At the same time, his hands began to fly across the keyboard.

For some time now, Chen Dong has been busy preparing for the launch of the international version of Terraria, so he has had very little time to deal with matters related to the novel, and even updates have been done using drafts.

In addition, the editors took a few days off. Under the combined influence of various factors, the book "We Promised to Develop a Match-3 Game, What the Heck is Titanfall?" has exceeded 300,000 words, but it is still not available for purchase.

However, just now, Chen Dong received a message from his editor informing him that the novel will be officially released at 12 noon tomorrow.

In order to fulfill his promise of releasing 10 new chapters and asking for first-day subscriptions, Chen Dong had no choice but to write at a breakneck pace.

For the entire day, except for meals and bathroom breaks, Chen Dong did not leave the office.

It wasn't until the sun was setting and the office was bathed in the orange glow of the setting sun that Chen Dong finally finished writing 10 chapters.

"Phew... It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying time writing."

Chen Dong slammed his body against the back of the boss's chair, rubbed his sore and swollen wrists, and nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the ten chapters of drafts in the writer's assistant backend.

Since the development of Star Card Games has become increasingly rapid, Chen Dong hasn't been able to concentrate on writing so much for a long time.

Even though his back ached, his eyes were sore, and his wrists were also throbbing, Chen Dong didn't pay any attention to it.

After all, he initially entered the online literature industry out of pure passion.

After setting the scheduled release, Chen Dong stood up and stretched, his stiff bones cracking and popping.

Having resolved this important matter, Chen Dong felt completely relieved. He picked up his light jacket from the back of his chair and left the office.

On his way home, Chen Dong suddenly remembered what Yin Qingying had told him about the sliced ​​man that morning, and an idea popped into his mind.

"If Xiao Jiang were to create a video account abroad and post videos of games from Starcard, that would be great."

Once the video account is established, it might be able to drive traffic to Terraria and other future games based on StarCard...

Chen Dong thought about it more and more and felt that the idea was feasible. He didn't even notice that the red light had already turned green. It was only after the car behind him honked several times that Chen Dong suddenly came to his senses and stepped on the gas and sped away.

As for the car behind, it was stopped by the red light that was on.

"Sorry, buddy."

Glancing at the rearview mirror, Chen Dong awkwardly scratched his temple.

After finding a Shaxian snack bar near the entrance of the residential area and having a quick bite, Chen Dong leisurely returned home.

As he opened the door, Chen Dong took out his phone, used a VPN to bypass the Great Firewall, and logged into YouTube to find SliceJun's YouTube account.

The account has only one video, yet it has brought SliceJun over a million views and more than 50,000 channel subscribers.

"Wow, just one video went viral!"

Chen Dong clicked on the video and scrolled through the comments section below.

Although YouTube's automatic translation sometimes makes mistakes, it's enough that Chen Dong can understand it.

There were quite a few viewers leaving comments, but most of them were from IPs in Europe and America. Besides urging StarCard to release version 1.4 as soon as possible, they also requested that the video creator replace the English subtitles with English narration.

After all, English is far less efficient than Chinese, and Westerners don't have the habit of watching video subtitles.

Therefore, they both hate and love the videos posted by SliceJun.

"These foreigners have quite a lot of demands."

Chen Dong noted down several requests raised in the comments section, making preparations in advance for Jiang Jia to open a main video account on the external network.
