Zhang He, 34 years old, is an ordinary player who likes JRPGs.

When he was a child, Zhang He's family conditions were quite good, and the good family conditions also exposed him to the novelty of the game since he was a child, and he was also a veteran player of the 16bit golden age, at that time, limited by the functional limitations of game consoles and computers, almost all games were pixel style, and JRPG was the best display theme at that time because of the limitations of technical means.

It can be said that pixel and JRPG games have run through Zhang He's entire childhood entertainment career, after finishing school, sitting in front of the computer and game console, opening a JRPG to experience the touching and shocking story, that is the happiest time of his day.

When he grew up, he was still a gamer, but there were fewer and fewer games that allowed him to experience the joy of gaming.

The scene is shocking, the picture is realistic 3A, it's really surprising, but it can't give him the feeling he used to have, he gets tired of playing for an hour or two at most, and he doesn't even finish many games, and it directly becomes a happy plus one.

And the fun focuses on multiplayer mode.,Not to mention the competitive type of game that fights.,It's already a 34-year-old 'old man'.,I don't usually play the kind that belongs to the casual pension.,The operation reaction can't keep up at all.,Isn't playing this kind of game looking for abuse?

It's not bad to be aggrieved and autistic without being abused, and still happy?

Happy chicken neck!

Compared to these games, he prefers some single-player games that can be played by one person as he wants, especially the kind of turn-based and strategy games that don't require too much skill, but there are really very few such games, especially JRPGs, which are not many people do.

Now at most, he plays those triple-A masterpieces in his spare time, and then still waits for new games to be released, and sometimes the ending is not cleared after playing for several hours, so he puts it in the inventory to eat ashes.

The old game in his childhood, who had received the baptism of the 3A game screen, turned it out to play again, and he couldn't play it anymore.

Those games that used to be very powerful and great in memory now seem to be the tears abandoned by the times after all, and the good in those memories are just good memories after all.

What I miss may not only be the game, but also the memories of that youth.

Let's see what this Octopath Traveler looks like, maybe it will be interesting?

If it really doesn't work.,It's a big deal.,It's a big deal.,Anyway, there's no game to buy lately.。

Sighing, Zhang He opened the search engine, typed the words "Octagon Traveler", and searched.

Soon Zhang He found the official website of "Octopath Traveler", as well as the promotional trailer.

A simple concept art and a promotional video.

Along with the logo of Nebula Studio, there is also the logo of Galaxy Network as the publisher flashed.

The exquisite character portrait emerges, entering the game, accompanied by the brisk BGM, the snow scene, the city, and the wilderness in the game appear in front of him, and the clever combination of 2D pixel characters and 3D scenes makes Zhang He instantly lift his spirit.

'Eight adventures, eight protagonists, play as eight different travelers, inheriting their powers, worries, and dreams. ’

'Albelik Eisenberg was a swordsman who had fallen to his country, and lived in seclusion in a small mountain village until a fateful meeting led him to set out in search of his former treasonous companion...... Will he find a reason to swing his sword again? ’

With the introduction of the characters, as well as the emergence of the vertical paintings next to them, the ingenious integration of 2D pixel characters and 3D scenes, as well as the excellent light and shadow and particle effects, made Zhang He sitting on the chair feel as if there was an electric current passing through his body.

Is it good-looking? Zhang He, who has experienced the baptism of 3A pictures, can clearly say that this kind of pixel is not good-looking.

But is it ugly? Zhang He, who has experienced the golden age of pixel RPG, can clearly say that this pixel-style game simply shocked him.

But that's not the most critical thing, it's a sense of familiarity.

When he saw the pixel picture of this clever combination of 2D characters and 3D scenes, Zhang He only felt that all the memories of the past popped up in his mind at once.

Isn't that what the pixel games I remembered when I was young were exactly what they looked like in my mind?

The indescribable feeling is obviously pixel style, but the vision of this kind of picture makes him even feel a little numb.

But there's only one thing he can understand, and it's probably the game he wants!

Eight characters, eight different theme songs, and excellent voice actor performances are all feelings that JRPGs have never brought him in the past.

With her natural wit and spirit, Primrose was able to survive the worst of times, and after ten years of waiting and watching, she seized the opportunity to take revenge on her father's killer...... The group of people with crow tattoos. ’

'I don't need your stage anymore...... Right now...... I'm going to dance for myself. ’

With the appearance of the last traveler dancer and the amazing BGM, Zhang He's whole spirit became excited.

He had a little bit to figure out what stories were going to be behind these characters.

For example, why did the swordsman's former companion commit treason, and who killed the dancer's father?

Will the eight characters shown in the promotional trailer get together because of some things in the development of the storyline and stage an epic plot with ups and downs?

These things are what makes Zhang He very curious.

Without much hesitation, with some expectations, Zhang He opened the official game platform, searched for the game "Octopath Traveler", and then added it to the shopping cart.

The only regrettable thing is that although the price of the game has been announced, there is no pre-sale, and you can only buy it until the day it is launched.

But soon he thought of something, and landed on the JRPG game forum, which felt like when I was a child, after school classes, my friends would get together in groups to discuss which game's strategy, and if anyone found details and strategies that others didn't find, they would show off and say it.

Zhang He is now such a feeling.

But when he landed on the JRPG game forum, he was stunned when he looked at the forum that was almost slaughtered.

The official invited water army?

Zhang He thought subconsciously, but soon he saw that there were several IDs in the poster that he was very familiar with, and he dispelled this idea.

…………

The news about "Octopath Traveler", under the operation of the Galaxy Network, is full of websites such as JRPG forums and game stars, and the Galaxy Network is still more targeted for advertising, and most of the products are in areas with a large audience of "Octopath Traveler", such as the group of nostalgic old players who have experienced the golden age of pixels.

Although Yang Chen said that this is a commercial game, and the target group is not simply targeted at those nostalgic old players, the retro pixel art production still has obvious target characteristics.

Of course, in addition to such publicity, the most important thing is that there is no money to spread out propaganda on the whole network.

With the early publicity time passing little by little, I handed over the staff in charge of the game community with Galaxy Network, and at the same time contacted the main person in charge of the outsourcing project in Dream Chasing.

Yang Chen, Wang Ye and Chen Shu are in the company, paying close attention to the development of the game, although it is a stand-alone game, but if there are some major bugs, they must be fixed as soon as possible.

Ordinary ones such as entry errors, or some hidden branch bugs have problems, then you can slow down the repair time, but if it involves vicious bugs that the main plot cannot continue, then the first thing is to eliminate it.

Even if a dedicated testing team has been tested internally in advance, there is no such thing as a bug.

Many, many factors can lead to game bugs.

In this regard, Wang Ye, Li Ran and Ye Bin are accustomed to it, when they used to make games, let alone overtime in the early days of the game's release, even if they stayed in the office all day in a row, it was a common thing.

If you're really sleepy, then lie down on the workstation and sleep for a while, then get up and continue to fix the bugs in the game.

Why does 27-year-old Wang Ye look like he is 37? Isn't that how it comes out!

In the attention of the industry and players, "Octopath Traveler" officially launched on all platforms.
