Chapter 196, the new DLC
"Tianmo" nine-week event has ended, and the relevant events have been recorded in Wikipedia and engraved as a gameplay event.
What the game players saw was a legendary and inspirational story. The underappreciated anchor finally succeeded in making a comeback on his own. This story of never giving up in the face of adversity made people excited and made the whole story more interesting to talk about.
However, from the perspective of game manufacturers, the focus of this case should be the marketing methods of the entire process.
There have been methods of marketing using Easter eggs before, but most of them were innocuous Easter eggs that had little impact on the progress of the game.
But Fangcheng Studio is different.
The other party's use of easter eggs is particularly bold, and it makes people feel that the other party has completely made the game based on easter eggs. This approach of using easter eggs as the core selling point is very risky. The only reason why they haven't overturned is because their early game experience is so special. good.
Some lower-cost game companies are ready to try related practices. The games of these game companies are mostly text games. The cost savings in art allow them to try this marketing method.
It doesn’t matter if you fail. If you succeed, it will become a topic, and you can enjoy the traffic blessing brought by the spread of the topic for a long time.
In addition, the "Nine Weeks" incident has another impact.
That is when some domestic players and foreign players began to interact.
Out of curiosity, some foreign players began to try to find other games from Fangcheng Studio. In the process of searching for games, they inevitably came to the "Game Inn", which allowed the two sides to start communicating.
Some people began to read guides on foreign game forums, and some foreign players began to enter the country and were surprised to find that China actually has many good games.
Although there are disputes, such as people constantly arguing about which game is the best in the world, in the end the dispute still allows people to discover many good games, and it also fully demonstrates that people in different regions have vastly different preferences for games.
Fang Cheng also bought a lot of games at this time.
Games that can be widely discussed must have their own characteristics. Some of them may have made groundbreaking achievements in some aspects, while others have been deeply involved in a certain field for a long time and have established a bottomless moat. .
Therefore, he decided to put aside his identity as a game producer and start from the perspective of a player again to find the fun of the game again.
However, what was supposed to be a relaxing game trip turned out to be more and more confusing as Fang Cheng played.
Why do I put a golden fence on my farm and everyone condemns me?
It would be fine if the gold in this game is not easy to obtain, but it happens that this thing is very easy to obtain in the mine. You are accusing me of showing off my wealth because of the fruits of fifteen minutes of labor?
In another game, farming will produce a wife, but when you see a girl appearing in the soil, your first reaction should be to call the police instead of thanking nature for the gift, right?
The sequel to a foreign high-rated game is even more weird. Why do I have to forgive her for killing my adoptive father? Why not forgive her?
Originally, Fang Cheng was confident and felt that he had made some progress recently, but after actually playing the game, he found that he seemed to not understand it at all.
After playing for a while, Fang Cheng had to sigh: "The game industry is indeed broad and profound."
The success of "Tianmo" has also attracted the attention of many domestic game manufacturers.
The sales of games have been miraculous recently, and the huge numbers make them very envious.
Suddenly, strange games such as "Old Demon", "Big Demon", and "Tian Mushroom" sprung up. The wonderful naming methods made Fang Cheng discover that domestic game manufacturers are quite talented in naming.
Unfortunately, he is only talented in naming.
Most of the games are inferior reskinned games, and some even have "Fangcheng Studio" clearly written on the publisher's label. It can be said that they are copycats to the end.
Fang Cheng didn't bother to take care of these guys and just left them to Xu Qingling to practice.
Although more than a month has passed, the popularity of "Tian Mo" has not diminished due to various news, but has intensified. It eventually became one of the representative works of Huaxia Games overseas.
Just when everyone thought that Fangcheng Studio would strike while the iron was hot and launch "Tianmao 2", Fangcheng Studio announced another news, that is, "Space Navigator" will release DLC.
Some people were confused by the news.
But some people discovered that this incident had actually been foreshadowed.
As early as a few days ago, with the help of players, the network of heaven broken by the God of Lies was finally repaired, and the time to counterattack finally arrived.
The God of Lies has been frightened by Fang Cheng's magical power to reverse time and space. He has completely sunk into the shadows and does not dare to come out. He does not even dare to recycle the demonic energy he brought with him.
With the various creative plans of the players, and with the help of the Plague Chicken, the technology in the Tiandao network finally made a breakthrough, allowing the drone to pass through the shadow encirclement by "sliding rails" and arrive at The world beyond the shadows.
"Slide" uses quantum tunnel technology. Players don't understand why, but they know one thing:
this is a trailer for DLC!
In the game inn, many players made predictions about this incident, predicting what the DLC of "Space Navigator" will be like in the future.
[It has to be said that Fangcheng Studio is very particular about this approach. When making a DLC, it is necessary to give a preview through NPC first, so that this wave will be reasonable. ]
[Since we have traveled beyond the shadow, we should be looking for other areas to resist the shadow together. 】
【Probably. I really want to know what the outside world will be like, but the planets alone should be a bit monotonous. Since it is already a setting of gods and stars, how about an emperor? ]
[Aren't you afraid of copyright issues? In my opinion, the outside world has been reduced to a zombie universe, countless powerful civilizations have been reduced to zombies, the entire world order has collapsed, and we are the only source of fire! 】
【It sounds a bit touching. 】
After seeing these people’s remarks, Fang Cheng was quite speechless.
I didn't even understand the situation, but they had already arranged the DLC.
Xianju 2.0 is for you, you can make games.
However, he also became curious about the "slide rail" technology and came here after the "slide rail" technology appeared.
This technology is not simply a technology for traveling directly through shadows.
It is more like a technology that tracks the trajectory of others. It can find the direction a certain person left through the traces left in time, and leave the shadow through this trajectory.
This technology makes use of the recording function of the shadow, and it can only be used here. In the past thousand years, the only existence that has left here is the Far Traveler who was born with the gods and even had a higher status than the gods.
The other party left here just after he was born, without any nostalgia for the other companions behind him. This made Fang Cheng wonder if he knew something, otherwise he wouldn't be so decisive.
And through the sliding rail technology, they can trace the footsteps of the Far Traveler, and finally find out where the other party went.
After understanding the principle of this technology, Fang Cheng felt a little emotional.
The history of thousands of years ago has long since disappeared due to various reasons, but there is always a way to recover the dusty history. This is not the romance brought by technology.
The birthplace of this technology is the squirrels' home planet, the Pine Cone Star. After the ancient instruments returned, the space here finally returned to normal and everything was on track. Players of "Squirrel Ship" have begun to play PVP out of boredom.
Although they returned from their home planet, the squirrels who had previously transferred to become scientists did not transfer back.
They have a large number of plague chickens, they have Datianzun as their backstage, and they have cats to provide food.
Now they can do nothing but research.
When Fang Cheng arrived, the chief scientist immediately received Fang Cheng and devoutly expressed his respect for Fang Cheng.
It is a mutated squirrel covered in snow-white. Its white appearance makes it look quite intelligent, and its elegant tone sounds quite like an elder.
After saluting respectfully to Fang Cheng, he led Fang Cheng towards the laboratory and said: "The discovery of slide rail technology can only be described as an accident, and the amazing thing is that its technical difficulty is not high. With a little bit of technology, Trees, we can find it. If we haven't found it before, we can only say that this technology is too cleverly hidden." "
Indeed." Fang Cheng nodded in agreement, "I encountered similar things a long time ago. In fact, you can just fly to some places. But I always teleported there. Thinking about it now, it was really interesting at the time." The
white squirrel looked at Fang Cheng, feeling that they were not talking about the same thing.
Following the white squirrel to the laboratory, Fang Cheng saw that the place was in full swing. The pitch-black black hole was restrained by a human force field. A large number of special drones were sent into the black hole, and it took a few minutes for the drones to come out from the back of the black hole. .
Pointing inside, White Squirrel said: "Currently we are using two-way technology. Because the success rate is not high, we have not conducted manned experiments yet."
"How low is the success rate?" Fang Cheng asked.
"Three out of 10,000, for every 10,000 drones invested, only three come back. And these three... don't seem to be our drones." "
What do you mean?"
"That is to say, their materials are indeed They belong to us, but the final objects are no longer drones at all. It can only be understood that they were processed by something on the opposite side and then thrown back." "Can I see it?"
"
This Side."
Walking to the next room, Fang Cheng found that the alert level here was obviously much higher.
Layers of force fields surrounded the room, and the three machines were tightly bound by the force fields.
Although these machines have stopped moving, the force field has not relaxed at all and has always restrained them.
All three machines are black and made of similar materials to the drones Squirrel dropped in, but the final product is completely different.
One of them looked like a microwave oven, but when it felt Fang Cheng's approach, it immediately opened the door and instantly released 2 million roentgens of nuclear radiation, which was equivalent to 40,000 times the effect of the little boy back then.
If it weren't for the force field, the squirrels present would die suddenly on the spot, leaving nothing behind.
The second one is a refrigerator. The temperature measuring instrument next to it shows that the temperature around it is already below absolute zero. This number is basically impossible to appear, but it just appears.
The third one looks the most ordinary, just an ordinary paper shredder.
However, when the paper was stuffed inside, there was no shredded note at the exit, but a note with "Energy" printed on it.
Research has shown that this strip of paper can release energy equivalent to the amount of energy that can be converted into paper. The principle is unknown.
Tens of thousands of drones were stuffed in, but what was finally transformed into three strange machines made Fang Cheng feel that there should be something wonderful on the other side.
But just when he was about to put his spiritual thoughts in and check what was there, he suddenly had a sudden impulse and couldn't help but make a fortune.
The hexagram is more complicated. It probably means that the opposite side is not dangerous, but if you go there in person, it will be dangerous.
If the other party feels that it is dangerous, it will inevitably explode on the spot, and all traces will disappear. It will take a year or two to find it again.
But if you figure it out slowly and let the players do it, everything will be simple and efficient, without having to do it yourself.
So, we still need help from players.
After knowing this, Fang Cheng was not too surprised.
Moreover, the world of the game "Space Navigator" has become a mess. He doesn't mind how the players mess up. As long as they don't blow up the place, then everything doesn't matter.
He used magic power to protect this place, recorded the existing situation, and then found Huang Ping.
After learning that this was DLC, Huang Ping became excited.
He has always felt that "Space Navigator" has great potential. There are still many details that can be dug into, and there are still many mysteries in this world that can be unearthed. It would be a pity to throw it away after using it once.
And Lin Nan was also excited.
Just listening to the descriptions of the three items made Lin Nan feel that there could be a lot of gameplay involved. Although she couldn't design the specific item mechanisms, she could complete the interaction methods of the items.
When she thought about the various interesting interactive gameplays that could be made with this thing, her gaming soul burned brightly.
In this way, with the full cooperation of a group of people, the new DLC, "Squirrel Lab" was successfully completed within seven days.
Now, every player can go to the squirrel's home planet, Pinecone Planet, and get his or her own exclusive laboratory!
In the laboratory, they need to invest a large amount of materials into the black hole, and then use various experiments to find out the specific use of the gifts behind the black hole, as well as the secrets behind the black hole.
Players are very curious after seeing the content of the new DLC.
I thought that the next step would be to conquer the outside world, but I didn't expect that it would be such a small game of "Lab".
However, when they really thought it was a small game and started playing it, they discovered that they were quite wrong.
This little game has something to offer.
Thanks to Dumb and Dog Orange for their 200-point reward, my name is Uncle Moon for their 100-point reward, and Snoozy Bear O for his 100-point reward. Thank you.
I worked overtime until eleven o'clock today and finally managed to squeeze out a chapter.
I owe two more chapters, a total of eight chapters. Please allow me to pay it back slowly. I'm extremely sorry.
