"After we've become accustomed to too many anticipatory works bouncing tickets, postponing them, changing our thinking, going back and redo, and so many other common twists and turns in the game world, you can understand the value of herring and Pasca."

EuroGamer's November 19 website headline began with this sentence.

Like most gaming media around the world, they're eyeing Pasca's new project.

"You never have to worry about bouncing tickets for their work, and sometimes it can even be released earlier than you expected. According to what we have learned, the development cycle of "Eternal War" is only 5 months, and "Survival" is also between 4 and 5 months, and they took 4 months to develop "The Origin of Everything", and "Getaway" and his team are efficient enough to be proud of the global game field. ”

Not only that, but Pasca's team maintains a level of initiation that would otherwise be impossible for other companies, and it was a natural thing for them to start the next project after a good launch. God knows how many ideas Pasca has in their heads, and before the summer rush for Getaway has passed, they're announcing a brand new title at the end of the year, and it's been in development for a while...... Yes, it's still a 'Yokoko Studio work', as if they had time to develop prototypes for new projects in addition to testing before the launch of Getaway. ”

"If you're playing a little slower, then it's enough for you to just play this one company, and Pasca will try anything anyway, and it always works. What others can't reach with all his strength is so easy for him. ”

"Between the launch of the game, other companies often try to half-hide the appetite of players, release information little by little, like squeezing toothpaste, in order to maintain players' sense of anticipation and the popularity of the game. But it seems that herring never will, because they really don't need to. They are like high-rollers in the market full of gold, and you wait for him to make a bid, only to leave behind a pile of gold coins and leave with what he wants. ”

"His prices always satisfy everyone, and he always buys anything he wants."

……

Other more media are speculating about the genre of the new project.

"Although there is less than a month before the mystery is announced, most players think that the possibility of Pasca's new project being a zombie-themed work is already very high. With those silhouettes of teeth and claws, Fisoa doesn't seem to pay much attention to the puzzle-solving gameplay of the new project theme...... Almost less than 1% of the puzzles in Getaway were designed, and of course, this is what we would love to see. ”——《Gamingbolt》

"Pasca is finally going to plant his flag on the territory of the M-Tier game, and he should have wanted to do so a long time ago." ——《Edge》

This statement of the well-known British game media "Edge" is not groundless, and almost all zombie-themed games are difficult to escape the M rating, which is a 17-ban rating. As we all know, Ye Shenxi is a producer who is very active in trying out various styles and types of games, so his choice of such a theme for his new project can also be said to be reasonable.

"We wanted this to be a work that showed the dark side of Pasca's inner world, which a lot of people should have hoped for, otherwise he would have been too perfect." - Gamespot has already put forward their requirements for the new project, and it may be able to represent a lot of people's voices.

Xie Jiaming is already very familiar with Ji Lan now.

When the two couldn't meet in the company during the National Day holiday before, on the way Ji Lan traveled with his family (Xie Jiaming didn't want to travel, he was about to eat dirt when he bought an iPhone), and he was still competing for scores in "Dragon Sparrow Run".

Her herring fish account was still registered with Xie Jiaming's help, a standard computer idiot...... The skills that can be used in the ord documents are all learned by buying the reference book "Let's Enjoy ORD" like this...... When talking about this during the chat before, Xie Jiaming said that you don't even know the shortcut keys for pasting and copying, and then talked about CTRL+C and CTRL+V, Ji Lan was shocked.

Regarding the social content of several mobile games, Qingyu originally adopted an open attitude and planned to cooperate with Tenghua, just like their cooperation with Facebook on the Internet, access to the SDK provided by Facebook, overseas players can directly log in to the game through their Facebook account, of course, they still need to bind their own FG account, otherwise it is purely to help others make wedding dresses.

Players can compete with their Facebook friends for scores, post results, show off each other, exchange skills, and form a good social ecology.

However, Tenghua did not agree...... Xia Qingyu can guess that they have their own ideas, and maybe a project team with similar gameplay mobile games has been set up internally......

In fact, two weeks after the launch of the two parkour mobile games, similar copycat products have appeared on the App Store, and other Android and Symbian platforms are the hardest hit. Not to mention the gameplay, even the character image is to follow the dragon sparrow, and some of the character images are not rubbed, but the name is "Sparrow Run", the protagonist is a golden sparrow, and the jumping action is like a chicken flying with wings.

After all, Tenghua is the absolute hegemon in the domestic social field, and the number of registered users of QQ at this time has exceeded 1 billion. However, herring fish is not without its own social content, and it is aimed at game users.

Based on Jiang Gong's studio's good optimization of the FG platform, including the good experience of fast startup speed and low resource occupation, players are happy to still hang the FG platform aside even when they don't use it...... Who knows if you'll want to play two games later.

What's more, the dynamic features of the FG platform, which were launched as early as last year.

This is a similar feature to Twitter and Weibo, where every player can post new things they encounter in all games as a publisher or self-media, even limited to games on FG and PC.

On the FG platform, players can do almost everything in the game world, from seeing the news to know a certain game, or picking it up in the store through ratings and reviews, to watching other players and media discussions to understand the game, and then buying the game themselves, downloading and installing, cutting out to watch strategy videos when encountering a certain difficulty, advanced fancy play, by the way, you can spit out a slot, read jokes, etc......

This allows FG to truly become an entrance to the game's life, which is more typical abroad than at home.

The average daily game time of players on all platforms has reached 2.3 hours, but the average daily online time of the entire FG platform has reached 4.2 hours. There are also hang-ups, watching news, watching videos, watching jokes, complaining, chatting and typing......

At the end of October this year, the number of users of the FG platform has officially broken through the 100 million mark, and it only took two years from the launch to 100 million users, while the number of daily active users is 13 million, and the monthly active users are 37 million, which has surpassed the only enemy in front of them, steem.

Steem now has about 33 million daily active users, and if the two life-saving games can't bring about a change in the situation, maybe G Fat can only watch the gap get bigger and bigger, and he can't do anything about it.

This is the literal meaning of "looking at the ocean and sighing", the sea world of the herring network.

Based on common interests, and develop social relationships based on this, it will be easier, maybe the later Sao Fu Bao is confused in social at this point, who would want to take money to socialize.

At this time, Qingyu Network is no longer a pure game development and operation company, and it was not a long time ago.

In the domestic market, even if Tenghua bypasses Tenghua to develop its own game social ecology, this is the development strategy they formulated after being rejected by Tenghua.

Xie Jiaming and Ji Lan interacted through the Qingyu account.

Xie Jiaming felt that he saw another side that Ji Lan did not show in the company, Ji Lan, who usually seemed a little cold in the company, showed a frank and lively side in the game world, she would immediately show off with one click after running a higher score and send it to her FG personal dynamics, and then circle Xie Jiaming.

Even if she didn't know that Xie Jiaming had deliberately released water.

After the launch of "Lost Home" in October, Ji Lan found that he preferred and was more suitable for this type of game.

The game costs 36 yuan in China and $20 or euros in Europe and the United States, and the number of levels doesn't make players feel like it's too short, and for many players, the game is enough for a month at night.

With the foundation of the first two games of Qingyu, light users of mobile phone gamers also feel the quality assurance of the games produced by this company. Unlike the two parkour games, Home Gone Lost almost immediately topped the paid and best-selling charts in multiple regions.

The focus of the publicity was on the game levels that Pasca made himself, and they felt the producer's level design skills in Getaway, and there are still many players who feel that the puzzles and temples in Getaway are really missing...... More than 200 is less......

At this time, the best-selling list still relies on download payment rather than in-game purchases. However, on the best-selling list, there was still a terrible situation where three herring games occupied the top 10.

The icon of the herring fish online game will have a blue fish logo in the lower right corner, which is the company's logo, so that it is arranged on the leaderboard, which looks very neat and unified.

Within two months of its launch, "Home Lost" has reached 4.7 million times and has accumulated sales of more than $80 million.

The media have sighed,This is just a gadget that Pasca made out casually,Something made by the herring network in three months,It's like grabbing money,Such a good sales result,Apple also has a 30% commission,On the App Store, they will naturally spare no effort to promote,All kinds of official recommendations,And the quality of the game itself is also worthy of such recommendations。

The game even sparked a craze for optical illusions, including many artistic images of the same theme, and became a darling of social networks for a while.

People are discovering that not only in console games, but also on mobile, Pasca can still lead the way.

No matter from the graphics, creativity, artistic atmosphere, background music, the whole of this game, it doesn't look like a mobile game of this era at all.

Xie Jiaming and Ji Lan will also get together to eat at noon, discuss the solution of the level at the dinner table, and after eating, they still occupy a position and do not leave, they come to Ji Lan's mobile phone, Xie Jiaming is next to him as a dog-headed military advisor, and the two are also discussing ideas, figuring out the intention of Pasca, the questioner, which part of their spatial imagination ability is this level trying to test......

Of course, Xie Jiaming happily abandoned the few male colleagues who had eaten with him before.

In the company, the sudden "excessive" proximity of these two people has also become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, but neither of them seems to care much, at least Xie Jiaming is a little complacent.

Xie Jiaming also recommended more herring games to Ji Lan, and Amway games are also divided into several types......

"There's a XXX that's fun lately." This kind of sentence is the lowest-end, anyway, I think it's OK and pushes it, and there is no technical content.

Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the game, especially the content that shocks you to the other party, this belongs to the mid-range, and it would be better if you could also recommend it according to the other person's personal preferences.

The highest-end Amway ...... I bought it directly and gave it to someone's library.

That's what Xie Jiaming did.

Ji Lan began to play more games, which means that the two have more topics, and the topic of chatting is still the theme of the game, but sometimes it is no longer limited to this, and they will talk about hobbies, personal life, and three views of life...... For both of them, each has the feeling of discovering a vast new world.

For Ji Lan, it's a game, and for Xie Jiaming...... Hey.

It can be said that Ji Lan's starting point is very high, and the enlightenment of her game career is a series of works by Ye Shenxi, she played "Survival" and experienced many dark nights that seemed to have no end. She played "The Origin of Everything" and built her own cozy nest. She also has a large group of people in the company waiting to take her to the score in "Eternal War", and now the segment has come to Gold II, and she usually watches some professional leagues, and some top professional players in China, South Korea, Europe and the United States can also be named.

She really didn't have much fun in the game before, and she thought the games were all Tetris.

"How do you solve this puzzle? The temple corresponding to the Biyue Wu Nakshatra. ”

At half past ten o'clock in the evening, Ji Lan sent another message on FG.

She is playing "Getaway", which must have been given by Xie Jiaming, needless to say, everyone should know.

Xie Jiaming himself was not playing the game at this time, just hanging over there, searching everywhere for news related to Ye Shenxi's new project, no one knows the release time of the game now, but according to the R&D efficiency of Qingyu Network, he has a hope for the next six months to a year...... Of course, there is probably a motivation to wait for this private chat.

He hurriedly switched the webpage and began to search for information, where did he remember which temple Bi Yuewu corresponded to...... I found a strategy and wanted to copy the past, but I felt that there was no sincerity, and I should polish it in my own language, as if it was the result of my own thinking, so that the image in the other party's mind would be taller.

Then he crackled and began to type, laughing as he typed.

……

On December 11th, the much-anticipated 2010 VGA Awards Ceremony was finally held in the studio hall of spike TV in the United States.

In the past nearly a month, the information of more and more new masterpieces has gradually become clear, and a title that is enough to make all gamers cheer has surfaced one by one.

Qingyu Network sent a delegation of up to 6 people to attend the award ceremony, including two bosses, Shan Jie, Yang Shu, and two other director-level R&D personnel, all of whom are the backbone of "Getaway".
