Chapter 42: Play Our Own Game
In the next period of time, the popularity of "Time and Space" continued to rise, and players' evaluations of this game became more and more polarized, and Lin Jiayi, as a producer, probably hasn't figured out what direction to focus on, until now, the game has not changed except for a few patches.
On the other hand, regarding the soundtrack on the side of Miracle Entertainment, the other party has basically been modified.
Several bands were specially invited to perform music, and it can be said that it is an absolutely luxurious lineup.
Replacing the original soundtrack and conducting a trial experience of the game, Yang Chen was satisfied this time.
Although it is not exactly the same as the dream memory, there is a peculiar feeling, especially the theme song of the dancing girl and the theme song of the priest, although Yang Chen doesn't understand what kind of technique it is, and even the instrument can only hear a rough idea, but the contrast and layering of the melody, Yang Chen understands that it is the feeling he wants.
"The sales of "Time and Space" have exceeded 1.5 million!"
"yes, and the number of players online is also quite large, until now it has remained around 300,000."
"These media give high ratings!"
In Xingyun's office, Chen Shu and Wang Ye got together and discussed in a whisper.
Yang Chen looked at the list of bugs that the outsourcing test team had just sent over on the desktop, and listened to the black line at the end of their discussion.
What are a bunch of people doing?
Why isn't it your own game?
In other words, the game they made was really "Octopath Traveler" instead of "Time and Space"?
"Why do you pay so much attention to Lin Jiayi's "Time and Space"? Our game is Octopath Traveler! Yang Chen said to the four people helplessly.
"Mr. Yang, this is our competitor, and only "Time and Space" has been released as an RPG game recently, plus many game media look down on us!" Chen Shu said to Yang Chen.
"That's right, Mr. Yang, these game self-media still use us as targets to gain popularity, saying that the retro pixel style JRPG is the tears of the times, and there will definitely be no scum left in the seconds of "Time and Space". Wang Ye thought of some remarks on the Internet, and said a little indignantly.
Different from the games that have been done before, each of them is very emotional about this game, and they all feel angry when they see many people hacking games on the Internet.
Obviously the game hasn't come out yet, why is it so dark?
Is it just your own subjective opinion?
"So the best way to go back with a slap in the face is to prove it with the work, fix the bugs of the game first, and do our own game." Yang Chen shook his head and looked at everyone and said.
Regarding some recent remarks on the Internet, although Yang Chen doesn't seem to care too much, it is impossible not to understand it.
With the sales of "Time and Space" exceeding 1.5 million, many of them dug up Yang Chen's interview with the game Starry Sky at the beginning, as well as Lin Jiayi's words at the Shanghai Independent Game Conference.
There are also many personal game evaluation big Vs on social platforms, openly belittling Yang Chen's original words, and then using them to tout "Time and Space", but I don't know if these big Vs are purely popular, or the marketing behind "Time and Space".
But all this is just external factors, when the game is excellent, these people will lick you in turn, Yang Chen knows very well.
Making their game better is what they should be doing now.
Bug fixes, music and CV implants, and cuts about the promotional trailer, the full version of the game was developed at the end of July.
In front of the computer, everyone looked at the picture on the screen and discussed excitedly.
"There's a lot of special effects added to the game."
"The sparkling sand and the fine water in the desert are amazing."
Wang Ye and Chen Shu were hotly discussed, but they could only see these things.
In fact, there are many artistic uses in the game, such as focal length, light spots, and deliberately nostalgic, frame-by-frame swinging flowers and plants, realistic trees swaying in the wind, deliberately pasting pixel maps on the more delicate 3D models, and adding a layer of real light and shadow to the 2D tile floor.
These seemingly pants-free fart, combined with the extensive use of tilt-shift photography techniques, are designed to give the picture a sense of blending the unreal and the real.
The boundaries between the real and the unreal are blurred, so that the real world looks like a model, and the model is more realistic.
And the balance between this is very difficult to grasp, if it weren't for the dream memories in his mind as a comparison, Yang Chen's current current he would definitely not be able to achieve this effect.
"In terms of games, we have already been contacted by relevant publishers, Tenghua, NetDragon and Phoenix, as well as some other well-known publishers in the industry, are very interested in our games." Yang Chen looked at everyone and said with a smile.
Hearing Yang Chen's words, everyone let out a burst of cheers.
There is no doubt that the three major ones are still very interested in Yang Chen's new game, even if Yang Chen has previously stated that this is a JRPG and a pixel style one.
But after all, there are examples of the great success of "The Binding of Isaac" before, so most game publishers are still very interested in Yang Chen's game.
After chatting with the team about something, Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang took the steel egg and prepared to go home.
Originally, the steel eggs were quite ugly because of their lack of hair, but now they have begun to grow hair after eating and drinking, and they are much more beautiful than before.
"We worked well with Galaxy Network before, won't we continue to work with them this time?" On the way back, Wang Yaliang asked Yang Chen.
"It still depends on the specific conditions, if the three can give a little better conditions than the Galaxy Network, of course choose the three." Yang Chen said as he drove the car.
Previously, about "The Combination of Isaac", their cooperation with the Galaxy Network was indeed not bad, but they didn't owe the Galaxy Network anything, a "The Combination of Isaac" can be said to make the Galaxy Network fame and fortune, and even in terms of making money, Yang Chen may not have made as much money as the Galaxy Network.
It's just an ordinary business cooperation, and it's not about who owes whom.
"But the three sides are also choking enough, if this is a mainstream ARPG, perhaps, with "The Combination of Isaac" as an example, we will have a lot more say power, but the pixel style plus the type of JRPG, at least in terms of commercial evaluation, they have to drop by about 30%." Yang Chen saw it very clearly, but it was clear and clear, and it was necessary to test it.
"But I don't think Galaxy Network and Chu Ge will be so short-sighted." Park the car in the garage of the community, get out of the car with the steel egg, and the two of them chatted while walking.
"Anyway, we just don't have to suffer." Wang Yaliang looked very open.
As for the three major and the three not, she has no concept in her heart.
"Yes, we just don't have to lose." Hearing Wang Yaliang's words, Yang Chen couldn't help but smile.
