Chapter 276: Promotional Video
Many game developers don't do lossless conversion in mobile games, because it's a concession to players.
In short, lossy conversion means that players will either have to bear a certain amount of loss when they change their lineup, change their gameplay, or draw a new card, or they will spend more money on it for a longer period of time, which will naturally mean more revenue for game developers.
But there is also a problem with this, that is, players will have a subtle resistance psychology when they consume.
For example, if you draw a good card temporarily, but you also know very well that this card is not a graduation card, and it can only be used for a week or two at most, and it may be replaced, then many players will not invest too many resources in this card, but just use it. Only when a player draws a very cherished and very strong card will he feel safe and bold to throw money at this card.
But this is contrary to the mechanics of the game - because the stronger the card, the harder it is to get it.
Therefore, in this kind of game, players are often in a state where they want to spend money but dare not spend it, because they know that cultivating a normal card is equivalent to a visible loss to the naked eye, whether it is a loss or a loss, they hate this feeling.
And lossless conversion is to solve such a problem, so that players have no worries when cultivating any card, and some special materials and good equipment obtained by consumption can be safely and boldly thrown on ordinary characters, so that even if they don't have those rare characters in their hands, they can also spend with confidence.
Moreover, lossless conversion is equivalent to a benefit for novice players.
Veteran players can't make mistakes, they know exactly where to spend their money and what the best lineup is, but new players are different and they are likely to make mistakes. If you use lossy conversions, you're punishing them for the mistakes they make, and many players won't be free to explore some of the game's niche fun, and won't try out new rosters because it's too expensive to make mistakes.
Players can feel free to try to match a new lineup, engage in some moth gameplay, and try to throw some powerful equipment to ordinary characters and upgrade and build them in a direction suitable for ordinary characters, to see if there will be any interesting chemistry, which is also a kind of fun for players.
Therefore, in terms of lossless transformation, it is not only a selling point of "Dawn Era" that is "very conscientious", but also a design that will bring real convenience and fun to players.
Moreover, lossless conversion will not affect the game's revenue for Zhong Ming.
Players have no worries, they can recharge with confidence, and the income of Tianji Studio will naturally increase. As for some people's fears, this damage will allow players to fill up some of the holes quickly, which is completely unfounded - the holes are impossible to fill.
Zhong Ming simply ran the game through, and he was very satisfied with the display effect on the holographic projection.
"How's the battery life?"
Zhou Sen replied: "If you run the game at the lowest resolution by default, you can play it for about 8 hours, if you play it at high quality, it will be about 5 hours, and if you play at the highest quality, you can play it for up to 3 hours. This is the limit that can be optimized at present, and the holographic projection mode is inherently more power-intensive than the regular mode. ”
Zhong Ming nodded: "Well, that's good, let's assume that players should carry a power bank with them." ”
Zhong Ming often sighs that the bracelet in this world is indeed one of the black technologies, not to mention the display, but also to talk about the battery life, and also to beat the smart devices in the previous life. The battery life of the bracelet is already so strong,The power bank is naturally stronger,The power bank in this world is basically a cylinder similar to the size of the No. 1 battery in the previous life,There are also cuboids or cubes,There is a lot of energy contained in such a small thing,If you charge the bracelet,It's enough to fill 8 times from 0 to 100。
Some heavy bracelet gamers basically carry a power bank with them when they go out, and some people simply buy a special strap to fix a special long power bank on their left hand forearm, successfully realizing the expansion of the bracelet battery.
Of course, the power bank is quite heavy, and ordinary people will not do this.
"If it's about the same, let's send the promotional CG first." Zhong Ming said.
……
Although the development of the game is not yet complete, the warm-up of the promotion must be prepared in advance.
The Shimmer game platform is not a particularly powerful channel now, and there are not many publicity means in Zhong Ming's hands, but at least the promotional CG can be sent out first, so that the popularity of the game can ferment and players can spread it spontaneously.
Soon, a promotional video of less than 5 minutes was uploaded to major video sites, and the popularity of the game area continued to grow!
Because this promotional video is completely different from the previous mobile game promotional videos!
At the beginning of the promotional video, it was still the usual studio logo, but this time it was the logo of Tianji Studio: under a clear blue sky, a gorgeous aurora crossed by, forming a beautiful arc, and then the art word "Tianji Studio".
Immediately after that, there is a line of words on the black screen.
[Holographic projection + 3A quality =? 】
A floating bracelet first appeared in the picture, and the camera quickly rotated around the bracelet, and soon came to the projection lens of the bracelet. Then, the bracelet projection lens suddenly lit up, and a beam of projection shot at the lens, shining a brilliant brilliance!
At the same time, the camera begins to pull up rapidly, and the holographic projection is seen in its entirety.
There was a roar in my ears, and the holographic projection was the appearance of a large battleship, this kind of intelligent warship was like an aircraft carrier in the air, an out-and-out behemoth, so that its deck occupied the entire holographic projection scale, and it could see the blue sky outside the aircraft carrier, as well as the intelligent machinery patrolling on the aircraft carrier.
Some of these sapient machines resemble spiders, with six legs, and move quickly across the deck; Others were large immobile turrets with four brackets underneath them that could be fixed on the deck of a large battleship, or standing up and moving; There are also some intelligent soldiers who resemble humans, except that their right hands can change into the form of technological weapons at will, and they are patrolling the deck in a neat line.
And just then, a meteor streaked across from a distance and landed on the deck with precision!
The meteor caused a loud alarm, and the eyes of the robots, which were originally glowing blue, quickly turned red after detecting the threat, and each entered a state of combat readiness. The spider-like sapient machines, presumably the maintenance robots on the battleship, began to flee quickly; The soldiers, on the other hand, form an array, and their right hands are transformed into technological weapons ready to shoot; The muzzles of the large intelligence machines are aimed at the uninvited guests, and powerful energy begins to gather at their muzzles!
The meteor that fell was a small single pod that quickly opened, flattened out on the ground, and folded into a small square. A young girl in a tight-fitting combat suit appeared in the single cabin.
This is the first character Tang Hongyu that players will come into contact with in "Dawn Era", the background is set in the Chinese, and the weapon used is a long weapon.
In order to show the wonderful fighting scenes in the game, the characters use different weapons, including cold weapons, such as long knives, spears, dual swords, etc., as well as hot weapons, such as two pistols, sniper rifles, and even high-powered artillery. However, these weapons are only different in the way they fight, and all of them are packaged with a sense of technology, just like Genji's long knife in Overwatch.
Tang Hongyu's combat uniform is also very Chinese characteristics, the character's combat uniform uses red and brown as the main colors, with cloud brocade dark patterns and Chinese knots, giving people a feeling that is somewhat similar to the clothing of the Ming Dynasty, but there are some armor and luminous color blocks with a sense of science and technology, and it does not feel abrupt in this high-tech environment.
The weapon in Tang Hongyu's hand is a long weapon, and the form shown at this time is a spear. A spear tip with a faint blue light appeared at the top of a metal long stick full of mechanical rods, which was as flexible as a snake in Tang Hongyu's hands, and several intelligent soldiers didn't have time to shoot at all, and they had already been picked up by the spears in Tang Hongyu's hands, and they were poked into a sieve in the air, and the parts fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Hongyu's hands twisted slightly on the barrel of the spear, and the shape of the entire spear changed instantly, and the head of the dark blue light disappeared, replaced by an opening on the side of the end of the spear head, and a crescent-shaped blue blade appeared, turning into a battle axe.
Tang Hongyu jumped high, and the battle axe smashed down fiercely at a large intelligent machine in the distance that was about to fire, and a half-moon-shaped blue ion beam burst out, directly cutting the large intelligent machine in the distance in half!
Then, Tang Hongyu twisted the long pole again, the blade of the battle axe disappeared, and the long stick turned into two pieces in Tang Hongyu's hand, and two blue blades appeared at the tip, turning into two short swords.
Tang Hongyu held two short swords in his hand, and rushed directly into the crowd of intelligent soldiers, the two short swords stirred up the storm, and those intelligent soldiers exploded one after another wherever they went!
The time of the entire shot was only more than ten seconds, and Tang Hongyu's weapon was transformed three times in a short period of time, which was impressive!
Immediately after, the second single cabin crashed onto the deck, and a neon girl with a long ponytail joined the fight.
This is the character that Zhong Ming used to try out before, Takeshita Tsuneko, still wearing a battle uniform decorated with blue and black flowers, holding a long knife that flashes with light in his hand, and began to slash in the group of intelligent weapons!
"You're still here, I've already said I'll be alone!" Tang Hongyu said as he slashed and killed the intelligent soldiers.
After giving Takeshita a few more shots, the third character landed on the deck.
This is a long-legged lady wearing a black tight-fitting combat suit, the weapons in her hands are two pistols, her fighting style is more unique, while kicking the enemy with both legs, the pistols in both hands will also fire, and when you hit it, you can only see the long legs flying around, mixed with two pistols in the middle of the shooting at many unbelievable angles, very fancy.
"Son, Tang, the speed of the two of you is too slow, it's just a mothership, hurry up and pack it up, we have other tasks to perform."
But at this moment, the whole picture suddenly shook violently, and on the holographic projection, the entire deck of the mothership suddenly cracked from the middle, and a huge intelligent machine heavy mecha rose from the deck!
The three characters were surrounded by more and more intelligent weapons, Tang Hongyu recombined the two short swords in his hand into a long weapon, and said coldly: "It seems that it is time to move seriously!" ”
……
The video came to an abrupt end here, and the entire hologram instantly shattered into blue particles in the sky, and then merged into a line of subtitles: The next-generation holographic projection mobile game "Dawn Era" will officially open for testing on October 1st!
On the barrage, many players were amazed and amazed.
"Is the holographic projection mobile game finally coming to a blockbuster? It turned out to be made by a studio I hadn't heard of? ”
"This promotional video is really powerful, the characters of the main three characters are all good, I don't know what will happen in the game? Such a good-looking fight scene, don't become a seller show. ”
"Can the real picture of holographic projection really achieve this level of precision and level? If you can, you'll definitely have to play! ”
"Is it another kryptonite game?"
"Krypton, how many non-kryptonite mobile games are there now? You're just prostituting for nothing. ”
"I haven't heard of a small R&D company, it's a bit empty. The incident of the rainbow game last time taught us a lesson, you can't play the game of a small company! ”
"Look at the quality...... The point is, there are really few mobile games that can be played now. ”
Although this video is not long, it has sparked heated discussions among the player community, and the popularity of the video is also rising.
Because this promotional video shows the biggest gimmick in the early stage of the game, that is, the application of holographic projection technology, and the picture accuracy is much higher than that of the mobile game products of the same period on the market!
When promoting, Zhong Ming used the better name of "next era", in fact, this is just a more general concept, which means that the quality of our mobile game is a grade higher than that of regular mobile games on the market.
Of course, the comparison is not a traditional mobile game, but a mobile game that specifically applies holographic projection technology.
Although this technology has been around for a while, and some mobile game manufacturers are following suit, there have not been too many hits so far. Because the development of mobile games in holographic projection mode is very different from the traditional model, although many large manufacturers have also put the holographic projection mode to popular mobile games on the agenda, they have basically not been developed.
And here in "Dawn Era", Zhong Ming is completely built according to the quality of "Zodiac Guardian" before, and strives to be able to take the lead on the screen and leave an excellent first impression on players.
What players see in the video is also shown in the way of holographic projection, and the camera is constantly rotating and changing, which is completely different from the previous traditional mobile games in terms of visual experience.
In addition, the content of the video itself also has the element of showing off skills, whether it is the scene of the background of the intellectual machine crisis, the enemy, or the character design with both traditional cultural characteristics and a sense of the future, it highlights the elegance of the modeling design, as for the wonderful action and fight scenes, it naturally adds a lot of points to this video.
