Chapter 1610: The Last Month of the First Year of the New Century

It's December.

"Lelouch the Rebellious" has also entered the final stage.

And in the current visual research, everyone is looking at Senxia nervously.

Senxia is in front of the computer at this moment, and then he is playing a game with a controller in his hand.

This game is an exploratory RPG. The light exploration mode, although it can't be compared with those masterpieces, but this mode is not useless, on the contrary, this seemingly niche word game can make people slowly taste the evocative feeling in this game.

Because the graphics are not excellent, the game's text can give people a feeling of being immersed in the story.

This kind of game cannot become a popular hot game, but it can occupy a certain market and advantage in a niche market.

That is, a game with a core orientation.

"Strictly speaking, it's a newcomer's game. Senxia spoke.

The others also looked solemn.

Mori Xia continued, "Also, the production of the game is still very rough, and if there is only the first chapter, the amount of content is relatively small. ”

"—but, I have to say, this game is really fascinating, magical girl...... Saigao!"

After hearing Senxia's words, the faces of everyone here changed.

"Congratulations, this game is qualified. ”

"Ah, that's great......" Misato Kusai breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally working......" Kenichi Aso also showed a relieved smile on his face.

"It's done...... It's done...... It's done...... "This is the stupid Takashi Kiritani who has been squeezed dry."

"In that case, we should almost be going to carve the plate as well. Time is running out. "Qianjia has prepared the packaging of the game discs, but the game itself is not ready, so there is nothing in those packages.

"But don't get too happy, because the game itself is a bit rough. ”

Mori Xia picked up the game cover made by Qianjia, and there was a name on the cover of the game - "Noah".

That's the name of this game.

In the story, the Tower of Babel has become the pillar of heaven that supports heaven and earth, and the Heral, where the Tower of Babel stands, is the reflection of heaven. But on the other hand, Herald's other identity is the last refuge of mankind, so Herald itself is Noah's Ark.

It's just that the Great Flood was finally blocked in the sky by the Tower of Babel, so Noah's Ark did not become an ark, but an island.

But in the case of the Ark, the name is not very good, and it is too straightforward.

Since it's a niche game, the feeling of the game itself is, of course, a little more unclear.

Of course, in fact, Noah and Ark, there seems to be no difference between the two names, but compared to Ark, a name seems to be more interesting.

After all, the word Ark or something, this word has long been used rottenly, and Senxia's own family likes to use this name.

None of that really matters.

"The game is not bad, but I think there is value in improving it. "Don't be too complacent, it's absolutely impossible for such a game to be commercialized and sold in a box." And because we are dealing with a niche market, it is unlikely that we will make a lot of money, and it is even possible that the game will be unknown for a long time. ”

Doujin is a big, big market.

In the doujin market, big hands can earn millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of yen.

But the obscure ordinary creators still need to wait for the lottery, if they are unlucky, they may not even be able to enter the venue, and even if they do, they may not get anything - although zero sales are unlikely, single-digit and double-digit sales are not uncommon.

The world is so cruel.

Senxia's words calmed them all down.

"But I think our game itself is very distinctive. You don't need to be presumptuous. At least if this game is logged in to the Mithril platform, the future will still be very good. ”

Sen Xia's words really made several people's moods go up and down.

But fortunately, the final result is still good.

"So in the next few days, let's have a good rest. ”

The last time they took a break was at the beginning of last month.

For a month in a row, everyone has been making games non-stop, coupled with the previous high-intensity production, the current visual research is actually too tired to work.

So they need to get some rest.

"Now it's time to cultivate and get ready. Senxia spoke earnestly.

"Yes, it's going to be CM soon, and now it's time to recharge your energy. Aso nodded his head.

"Yo Xi, I'm going to work harder, too. Kusheng Misato also perked up.

"I don't know if Mie-chan will have time to ...... then," Takashi Kiritani was thinking about his little girlfriend.

However, at this time, they all noticed that Sen Xia was looking at them with a subtle gaze, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.

"What are you talking about? When I say preparation, that's not the kind of preparation. Senxia said.

"Huh?!" ×3.

"I'm talking about the final test!"

There was silence.

Subsequently.

"Wow!!"

"Ahh

"It's a motor!"

The screams rang out in unison.

Yes.

Even in college, there's one thing you can't get around – and that's quizzes.

And what's worse is that it's not your average university, it's ...... East.

If it's just an ordinary university, then failing a course is not a problem.

But this is Todai.

Even at the University of Tokyo, not all of the students here are good students, but the students who are currently in the graduate school are still middle or even upper-middle students.

"Eh, wait a minute, why am I screaming?"

yes, anyway...... No matter what, I seem to be going to fail!

In an instant, there was one less person screaming.

At this time, Senxia had already left here with Qianjia - they were ready to carve the plate.

It's already December, and if you want to carve at this time, there are not many options to choose from.

But that doesn't mean they can't do it, in fact, Senxia can even get the best quality pressed discs - the platters that are directly pressed on a large scale by the factory are actually better in quality than the single burning disc.

And on Senxia's side, this is the most important thing.

"How is the preparation of Sword Art Online?" Qianjia has been managing the work here for the past few days, and she doesn't know much about the situation outside, and occasionally when she is tired, she calls Sen Xia to come over, and then relax. Because of this, Qianjia's complexion has been quite good recently.

"Well, it's ready, at the end of the year, we will broadcast the first four episodes as a special episode, and then two episodes a day for a week, on weekends, for a month. ”

"Sword Art Online" is the most well-prepared work on Mori Xia's side.

Theoretically, they could even release twenty-four words directly.

But that would be no fun.

For long-form works, you need to follow the route of long-form works.

As a long-form serialized animation, the content of eight episodes is broadcast continuously in a month, which is actually unprecedented.

Of course, being unprecedented doesn't mean there's no one to come.

More than ten years later, as "Netflix Dad" entered the mud bombing market, the kind of animation that released twelve or even twenty-four episodes in one go also began to appear, and it was also jokingly called "the fastest ending animation of the quarter" by many people.

"You're quite confident, so much in one go?" Qianjia was a little surprised.

"Well, the feedback from the closed beta is good, so I want to strike while the iron is hot. "Our game is different from the anime, but there are a lot of things that can be reflected between the two sides, and I think it will become a very interesting place." ”

There are actually a lot of stories about the same characters but completely different developments, and there are also many anime works and original works that are simply two worlds of stories.

And similar to the "Heaven and Earth Are Useless" series, it is the series with the most lines in the world. In the earliest OVA version of this work, in fact, the whole story tells the story of the real chaos between the noble circles of the family. But in the earliest TV version, the relationship between these people has been transformed, and throughout the story, everyone who was originally related by blood has become strangers who don't know each other.

And after that, this series took the opportunity to launch the "New Heaven and Earth Useless" series, and even launched the Magical Girl series - yes, the fate series launched the story of Illya's magical girl, which is actually not original, a similar story line, in fact, has been used by "Heaven and Earth is Useless" before.

Even, in the series "Heaven and Earth Are Useless", there is also a sequel, that is, the story of the protagonist's child who travels to another world.

And the "Heaven and Earth Are Useless" series, its own status in the circle is also very high, and its story itself is also far-reaching, and many creators have been affected by this work.

Therefore, although there are many designs such as world lines on Senxia's side, Senxia is not worried at all, because this will not be a problem for the audience.

"And Borderlands, how is the game?" asked Qianjia again.

"Well, in this game, we have adjusted the place of Krypton to ensure that players can get their own homes after entering the game. Senxia said.

"Kryptonite dots deleted?"

Land for sale, which was originally a major toll point here.

Because this game will appear as a basic free social game software.

The positioning of this point is the same as "Second Life" in another world line.

In that game, the land of the game itself was purchased by the player with real money.

"It can't be said that it was deleted, but it just guided the player's consumption a little. Sen Xia said slyly, "Part of the content of the game is adult socialization, but if many players play such content, they probably won't be in the mood to want kryptonite." So we've made some tweaks to that. Players have to try out the game's features before they can continue to dig deeper. But if you don't give them anything flowers in the first place, it won't work. ”

"To put it simply, in the game, we only give players land, but the size of the land is very limited, so if players want a bigger place, they need to find a way to buy more land just like in the real world. ”

"In addition, in the game, players can also trade with each other, and the tokens they trade use need real money to exchange, and the system will collect taxes on players' purchases. The production team is still quite careful about this setting, so private transactions will not be affected, but if players want to open a store in the game, they must be taxed. ”

In fact, it is not very profitable to simply buy and sell things, but collecting taxes is definitely the most profitable.

And this kind of profit model is very hidden, and players generally don't notice it, only those who actually open a store can pay attention to it - but real-world business is also taxed, so there is nothing wrong with this.

"Oh yes, we built a shopping street inside the game. ”

In the game, players are not allowed to build shops in public areas, and everything that everyone builds is only allowed to appear in their own scenes.

However, many players said that this is not very convenient, and they want to be able to communicate with other people.

So in the last update, the production team added a commercial trade port, which allows players to own a small piece of land that is even smaller than the home that the player was born into, but the price is ridiculously high.

"That's good. Qianjia thinks that this kind of design that can not only complete the world, but also increase the gameplay, is really good.

"The production team was ready to open a new system that would allow players to build shops in some of the permitted places, and now they're mainly working on that. ”

"And what about after that?" asked Qianjia about what happened after the closed beta.

"The Closed Beta is a deleted test, but we don't do it, we make the player's story a real story. Senxia said.

"I didn't tell the players about this, did I?" Chika remembered as if she hadn't told the players about it.

"It was the idea of the second generation teacher. She thought it would be more interesting to have the player finish the initial design without knowing anything. In this case, players in the closed beta will also pay more attention to the RP (playing) of the character. ”

"It's not a loss to be a second-generation teacher. ”

If you say the initial premise directly, it won't make much sense, but using it as a surprise can be more exciting for players. Qianjia also had to sigh at the awesomeness of the second generation teacher.

"But now there is an important issue that needs to be addressed. I'm not talking about games. ”

"Ah, Mori Natsu-kun, your quiz?"

"Uh-I mean, birthdays. Yukino's birthday present. ”

Well, for Senxia, that's all that matters.

Because Christmas is not only a Western holiday, but also the birthday of the two.

......

Today's two-in-one.

The author feels that he is going to gain three pounds in the New Year.

Meow Meow Meow ......
