Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

After Chen Xu announced a precise time for the launch of"Dark Souls".

Countless players are excited.

After all, they had been looking forward to this game for too long before this.

And it went online on New Year's Day, which also surprised many players.

Because I didn't expect Chen Xu's efficiency to be so fast.

There were even many players who thought that"Dark Soul" might not be released until before New Year's Eve.

In fact, Chen Xu thought the same way at first, but the team's content output was extremely efficient.

This also allows"Dark Soul" to be released on New Year's Day while ensuring quality.

Players who are looking forward to"Dark Soul" here are happy and excited.

But Li Zhi, who was responsible for the development of"Fantasy" at Tenghua, was a little depressed.

Their"Fantasy of Gods and Ghosts" has also announced the launch date.

Located in mid-January.

But this time is still mandatory.

Because in the plan,"Fantasy" is aimed at Fengyun Games

But now, it’s so special.

It was obvious that whether the project was announced or promoted, they came first.

Why do you want to launch"Dark Souls" first?

Although Li Zhi also wanted to launch"Dark Soul" before it was released, time did not allow it!

Although he also knows that launching half a month late is not good news for"Fantasy".

Because in the game industry, it is actually a time-grabbing existence.

Unless the quality is very good, games released in the same period will always suffer a bit at a later date.

But there was nothing he could do.

Because"Fantasy" is a product that needs to be approved by Fengyun Games.

Now what he expects is"Dark Soul", preferably a shit game

………………

As time progresses.

Fengyun Games has also invested a lot in advertising.

The popularity of"Dark Souls" remains high online, and it is basically among the best.

In Chen Xu's experience store, although it has expanded in size.

But there are still a large number of players who come here every day.

The purpose is to be able to experience it in advance.

As for Chen Xu, he did not open the experience for a long time in advance as before.

Instead, it was stuck at a certain point in time, and the game was open to the public 3 days before it was officially launched.

The reason is naturally to prevent players from leaking a plot.

Two hours per player per day.

In three days, Chen Xu estimated that with these players, it was almost enough to reach the high wall of Lochris.

As for"Dark Soul", it is actually a difficult game, although Chen Xu did not emphasize this to the players.

But he didn't deliberately hide it.

At present, players are wondering whether"Dark Souls" is simple or something else.

It's all just guesswork by the players themselves.

So whether the players know it or not is not very important in Chen Xu's opinion.

Because as long as players have played"Dark Soul", they will feel its unique charm.

It’s a new day and the experience store opens early in the morning.

A group of players who had already been waiting at the door rushed in excitedly.

He took out the recharge card and banknotes from his pocket and rushed to the girl at the front desk in order to be the first to turn on the phone.

Because of the development of"Dark Soul", all employees had to work overtime frequently.

Therefore, during the three days of open trial period, Chen Xu also asked everyone to take a break to relax their tense nerves.

In his own words, he would take a break and relax.

"Mr. Chen, I haven’t seen you in the experience store for a long time!"

I just finished the boarding procedure and saw Chen Xu.

As an old acquaintance, Yang Xin stepped forward to say hello.

"No way, I have been catching up on the progress of"Dark Soul" during this period."Chen Xu smiled and responded.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, what kind of game is"Dark Souls"?"While walking, Yang Xin asked Chen Xu curiously.

He took a group photo with the player next to him who was new to the experience. He heard Yang Xin's question next to him.

Chen Xu just showed an inscrutable smile:"Wait. Don't you want to play if you know it? We won’t know until then."

There is no doubt that he is there, Yang Xin nodded.

After chatting for a while, Chen Xu looked at the players in the surrounding hall, and the experience store was quickly filled.

At the same time, almost all players chose to open"Dark Soul" is a game.

The same goes for Yang Xin who came to his machine in front of him.

Seeing this scene,

Chen Xu coughed lightly and said to Yang Xin:"Experience it well. My company also has There are some things, so let’s take the first step"

"Well, Mr. Chen, go ahead and get busy."Yang Xin replied.

But looking at Chen Xu's leaving figure, for some reason, Yang Xin always felt that he left in a hurry.

Is this Mr. Chen's daily life?

There are so many things that need to be taken care of, and in the experience The store was so busy walking around.

With a hint of emotion, Yang Xin put on the headphones in front of the experience machine.

Then he began to experience the content of"Dark Soul".

First, there was a CG, which was the previous promotional trailer, but Yang Xin did not She didn't skip it, mainly because she wanted to see if there was any content hidden behind it.

Unfortunately, there was nothing that surprised her, but after the CG ended, the picture that appeared made her feel a little surprised.

Because it was An interface for creating characters. Although this is not a rare game feature, it has only appeared in Fengyun Games in"Minecraft". But after all,

"Minecraft" is a pixel-style building block game.

Visual effects There is still a certain gap in

"You can also choose a career! Knights, mercenaries, so rich!"Yang Xin was a little dazzled.

In addition to profession, she could also choose a burial object.

However, considering the time issue, she did not study more on it.

Instead, she directly chose a default knight start.

Because that A suit of armor and a sword and shield looks much stronger than other professions.

Especially the useless person at the end, with his attributes and weapons, it is simply unbearable to look at. Yang Xin estimated that the early difficulty of the game should be related to the choice of profession. There are hooks.

Just like warriors are definitely better at leveling up and surviving in the early stage than mages. Let’s talk about the latter later, but in the early stage, the knight in armor, shield and sword must be particularly brave!

And in the demonstration at the previous press conference, among other things The character is a knight!
