Number One Game Designer

Chapter 168: The game can also be an advertisement (s

The final shot is only one scene, but it is the climax of the included DLC this time.

On both sides of the faint blue gate, aero warships full of power swayed slowly in the air with faint blue flames, and ships slowly slid into the faint blue gate, disappearing in a burst of blue light.

The shot was short, but it made Li Fei still remember that when his group of people was still entangled in how the zombies on earth ended, Hongyi’s latest DLC directly put a notice that was not a notice, and cast his eyes into space. .

This is the plot of Portal 2? Or is it going to be a movie? Or some easter egg that no one knows?

Looking at his watch, it took Li Fei almost one morning for the five gift levels. The game didn’t end until noon at ten o’clock. His stomach groaned a long time ago. He picked up his mobile phone and ordered a takeaway. Li Fei closed the game and climbed up. Check out the forum.

Since the establishment of the Honghu game platform, Li Fei has found that his English level has risen rapidly. Although in principle, players in various regions have server constraints, the developers of the Honghu platform have left a back door, which can be very simple by changing the host file. To achieve the purpose of changing the zone, later some big hands made an integrated plug-in. It doesn't matter if you don't change the HOST, just download the plug-in and double-click to run it.

Hongyi has never expressed any views on this, but it was later discovered that the developers of the Honghu platform had quietly built-in translation functions.

Not an international platform, but better than an international platform.

And because Hongyi’s headquarter is in the national area, there are occasional staff from Hongyi who show up here to say, so many foreign server players are accustomed to hang up an agent to come to the community of the country to see if they can. After catching the plan to share online, the other is to see if there is any new news.

Therefore, every time Li Fei opens the community, he flies in both Chinese and English, and occasionally some French, Dutch, Spanish, etc., even if it is Li Fei's work that wants to come in contact with foreign businessmen, his brain hurts.

The exchanges between the two sides about the game are quite a bit of the conversation when the Chinese met foreigners on TV:

Chinese: nicetomeetyou, howareyou?

Foreigner: What are you talking about?

This time it was the same. Li Fei thought he was fast enough, but when he landed, he found that a group of people had been discussing it for a while.

There are vowed to say that this is Hongyi going to make a movie.

The brother of the paparazzi Hongyi who said that his sister's eighth aunt's neighbor's neighbor's next door uncle's classmate is working and said that this is an easter egg from Portal 2.

It is also said that Hongyi is playing mystery to arouse people's discussion. In short, there is nothing useful.

Amidst all speculations, Li Fei saw the ID of a blonde boy's head and posted a new post:

"This is probably the easter egg of Hongyi's new game! There is evidence! 》

Under curiosity, Li Fei clicked in. It is rare that this author is not the title party, and the method he used is also very simple: reverse unpacking.

If you want to know the meaning of the last scene, you just need to unpack and see whether the outer space scene in the last scene is CG or real-time calculation.

If it’s CG, it’s probably just a smoke bomb put by Hongyi, because the cost of making CG for such a scene is not high. As long as you have good drawings and ideas, you can make it. Regardless of whether you do it later, dig first. Just put a pit here to stir up attention.

In the post, Pim also announced the results of his unpacking:

There are models, and the final scene is real-time calculations!

According to the content posted by Pim, he unpacked the model of two space battleships and a model of a wormhole in this DLC file, as well as some models of mecha soldiers.

What this means is undoubtedly, Hongyi's new game may have to be available!

After all, if there is no actual content, it is easy to use only a CG, but if there is specific modeling, it is impossible to show the player such a scene with real-time calculation, and the cost is too high. So no matter what you think, these models are prepared for the game.

So in the morning when the portal was officially updated, there was a topic called #鸿翼新游戏# on Weibo hot searches at noon.

Fang Xi had anticipated all this. At this time, he was teaching a senior management team in the office of Liuhai Department:

"So, everything can be marketed."

"Everyone thinks that Hongyi is doing charity in the game, and the new DLC is free, but everyone knows that I made this DLC for advertising."

"Fill in the original blank in the game, and then finally throw a scene like an Easter egg. Players will naturally dig out and promote it spontaneously."

"DLC itself is a game, and the process of digging the puzzle I put is also a game."

"Everyone thinks that Hongyi is giving back to the players this time, so are we giving back to the players?"

"Of course, doing the content of the conscience, doing the DLC of the conscience, but it does not affect us to do a little other things to attract everyone's attention. The two do not conflict, and it is even a perfect win-win, which is equivalent to taking the original. The money that came to the announcement was made into the game, and then it was given to the players for free, and the players spontaneously promoted our new game."

"Liu Hai, for you, if our new game is to be announced normally, how much budget is needed to reach the current popularity?"

Liu Hai quickly measured it in his heart:

"Now it is not only the hot search on Weibo, but also one of the hottest topics on FB, not to mention the large-scale spontaneous discussion in our community. If we want to achieve such a high-viscosity discussion, we probably need close to 8 million. The budget is announced, and there may be a special rendering of a CG. The budget is even more immeasurable, but in the end it will definitely exceed 10 million."

Fang Xi smiled slightly: "Now, a free DLC can do it, and the cost of the research and development department is only less than one million, of which the main part is the salary."

Throwing the pen on the table, Fang Xi said:

"Recently, our Hongyi announcement is quite satisfactory. I don’t want to give you chicken soup today, but I want to tell you that we are now the world’s leading company, and every move is followed by tens of millions of players, so I I hope you will consider your positioning carefully when you designate a copy of the announcement in the future. That's it, the meeting is adjourned."

At the end of the meeting, Fang Xi and Liu Hai took the lead to go out.

"If this continues, our operating department will no longer need to exist." Liu Hai sighed half-flatteringly.

Fang Xi shook his head. He was also invited by Liu Hai today. According to Liu Hai, the operation department has been a bit inert recently, and the budget of each plan has been raised high. In Liu Hai's own words:

It’s not the number one in the world yet, so you got the first disease in the world. Even the number one in the world didn’t throw money like that.

So Liu Hai asked Fang Xi to come over and talk about the town.

"This can only be played once or twice. After all, we are going to do a game, not an advertisement. In the long run, our gamers will only doubt whether it is a carefully packaged advertisement or something, so use it with caution."

"Oh, by the way, although their budgets are often very high, I am very satisfied with the publicity of the e-sports plan this time."

Liu Hai smiled and quickly followed:

"Then can I ask a question? What is the name of the final scene of the new DLC game, Portal?"

Hearing Liu Hai's question, Fang Xi stopped and looked up:

"I said you don't hit me?"

"I don't dare to hit you, just say it."
