Chapter 302: Tricky Angle
The Bible? Old testament? The book of Genesis recorded that at that time, the accents and speeches of all the people in the world were the same.
Later, people wanted to unite and build a tower that would lead to heaven.
In order to stop the people, God created many languages so that we could no longer unite when we were scattered on the earth, so which city was called Babel, and that tower was called the Tower of Babel.
This is a Hebrew word that means chaos.
Probably in addition to language, he used to distract us, and the time difference......
It was already 2:50 in the morning when Xie Jiaming watched the Qingyu Network press conference, and foreigners have never thought much about Chinese's feelings, World Cup, UEFA Champions League, five major leagues, ESCL Esports World Cup...... Of course, people must first consider their own people. We also let them stay up late to watch the Olympics last year and "retaliate" a little.
A young man like him, if he stays up late to play a game, he may be able to maintain his spirits, and he is not a hardcore player, watching a slightly "boring" press conference will not stimulate his excitement.
He didn't actually play much games before, and he had some good memories of games when he was a child, and he consciously put them down after he started busy with his high school studies. I have a lot of time in college, but my interests are no longer there, and the focus of my life after work is to make money, support my family, and live.
The "Eternal War" that appeared last year made him regain the joy of playing games, and there are many colleagues in the company who often open the black, and the atmosphere is good, and they get together during breaks, and there are endless topics to talk about hero outfits, lineup matching, combat skills, professional competitions that have just ended, and even player gossip or something.
He then touched on the FG platform, followed by Survival, The Origin of Everything, and more single-player games on the platform.
In the middle, he began to embark on the road of MOD production, using his professional skills to make a "survival" gourd baby character MOD, which was placed on the forum and innovation factory, and received a lot of kind comments and thanks. I began to familiarize myself with the various supporting MOD development tools provided by the Qingyu Network, learned simple code languages, and slowly became a well-known MOD maker.
But he is still in this category, and he now has the habit of looking for games to experience, but it is limited to finding games with high ratings, strong publicity momentum, or official special recommendations on the FG platform, and through the platform's now perfect community system to find out if the game is really suitable for him, and then decide to pay for it.
He didn't buy a game console, didn't pay attention to the latest information from some big foreign manufacturers, wasn't a believer in PS, XBOX, and ii, and wasn't a fan of Yubi, Activision, or glass slag.
He is one of the many "emerging" Chinese single-player gamers at this stage.
The content of other companies in front of Xie Jiaming was almost asleep, and he was afraid of missing the appearance of the herring fish network when he went to play games, but fortunately, the camera on the scene could occasionally sweep the audience once or twice, and at that time he began to concentrate on looking for the two bigwigs.
Just like that, he finally waited until Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu came on the field one by one, and he got up in spirit, and when Ye Shenxi announced the new project, Xia Qingyu introduced the two new plans of the Qingyu network, Xie Jiaming found that he couldn't sleep again.
The Eternal War World Cup? The finals should be held in China, right? It's your own game, so there's no reason to go to Seattle, Cologne, Los Angeles or something like that, right? Who should be in the Chinese team?
Tracy has no doubt...... Both popularity and strength are top-notch, female players, hey, if those foreign professional players are defeated head-on by Chinese girls in the arena, the scene should be interesting.
There is also the "Developer Profit Plan", which is briefly introduced, but Xie Jiaming probably understands the meaning, the official launch of the server and the paid mod...... That means you can make some extra money by making mods? Xie Jiaming didn't dare to think that although Chinese players are now paying more for games, it is also relative to before, online games are still the mainstream in China, and single-player players are still a minority.
Not necessarily pay for the game, for some mods? Xie Jiaming remained skeptical.
However, this is not his most sincere feeling, but this plan shows the attitude of the herring fish network, which makes him feel very warm. This shows that Qingyu Network faces up to and agrees with their group of people who are still free to bring fresh fun to all players, see their efforts, and recognize their results.
It can't be said that for a mod developer, the official approval is more important than the player's, but if you can get both, then he is satisfied.
Besides, at the player's place, sometimes I don't get much real heartfelt thanks, and it took a month or two to make something in the end, and sometimes I put it on the forum, and the number of post clicks and attachment downloads are rising, but I don't see a few replies.
They don't want to do anything to reply to the visible.,It's just that the reply is less.,It's really cold.,Open the reply and see it.,There are some "Thanks for share~", "Thank you to the landlord.,Top top top.。 "You can only reply to one, is the word count enough?" or so on, unnutritious short sentences, or even some garbled characters, or just copy the reply upstairs.
I'm really sad.
As for the new project ProjectB announced, Xie Jiaming saw that his colleague was still online, so he hurriedly sent a message: "You are also watching E3? ”
"Coincidentally, you're also there, have you seen Mr. Bao's new project? I'm stunned! ”
"It's really amazing, I'm a little excited and can't sleep, when are you going to sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow."
"Ask for leave, eat a bad stomach, have a cold and fever tetanus, a friend is critically ill, pick up people at the airport, and encounter a traffic accident on the road, isn't the reason just to find it?"
"Alas...... have used ......" a few ellipses can feel Xie Jiaming's emotion.
"By the way, you've taken a lot of leave in the past few months, so you have a fight with me."
"You're playing a game, I'm staying up late to make mods, can that be the same!"
"Okay, you're amazing, then again, I really didn't expect Qingyu to come up with such a thing, as long as it's a new game, it's not that I can accept announcing a new investment project or something, but it turned out to be like this...... Hahaha. If you look at the modeling, stickers, light and shadow in the promotional animation, and the lake is almost like a photo, how many game companies do you say abroad, just those big names can do this level? ”
"I don't know, I'm not a professional."
"Didn't you develop it yourself?"
"Two different things! Can that be the same! But let me tell you, what shocked me the most was not these, it was the gossip in the sky, and this story. ”
"Story...... I didn't understand what it meant, so I thought...... It's not easy. ”
"......" Xie Jiaming didn't know how to describe it to his colleagues, he had also played a lot of Xianxia stand-alone games in the early years, after all, this is the essence of our culture, but in his opinion, the theme is nothing more than the world, the common people, the world, the royal road, love and sacrifice...... But it can't bring him the feeling in this promotional video.
How to describe it, it's as if this time it's not teaching the player anything, it's not so didactic, good and evil, right and wrong, but putting up questions for him to think about for himself.
It even made him feel a little Zen. Outside of the technical level, this is what sets the project apart.
Obviously, this kind of topic is not suitable for discussion at this point in time, and my colleagues didn't understand what else to talk about...... He could only say: "I really didn't expect to see Qingyu Network sell abroad with the theme of Xianxia so soon." ”
"It's a little early to sell, isn't it just a few months since it started, it's 2011, I hope it doesn't bounce. I wonder what it's like for foreigners to play Xianxia games......"
"Wait, what else can I do...... Even if you skip the ticket, you can only wait. It's not surprising that foreigners play. ”
"Have you seen them play?"
"No, but you think, why can we watch zombie movies, watch steampunk and cyberpunk with relish, and understand their wasteland flows, which also feels cool. Cultures such as rap and rock can also have a foothold in China, and culture is inherently commonal. In addition to the connotation of a culture itself, what is more important is to see who has the right to speak in that field. Xie Jiaming blurted out this, he actually thought about this problem.
It stands to reason that our acceptance of our own martial arts and fairy culture is always higher than those in Europe and the United States, but on the FG platform, although we can't see specific sales figures, FG is a global platform, no matter from the leaderboard, the number of discussions in the comment area, the popularity of the community, even the number of Chinese reviews, our most classic martial arts fairy games are not comparable to those European and American masterpieces.
"You still think about these things, it's disrespectful." Colleague said.
"Originally, you play more games than I do, don't you know? Did you play Warcraft because of its epic setting? Didn't you play the game first and think it was fun, and then you started to pay attention to the backstory, the history of that continent, the fate of each character, and then you were shocked by that grand epic, and you also had feelings for dwarves, gnomes, orcs, goblins, and other strange things? ”
"Azeroth ......"
"Whatever, that's what it means anyway, the theme itself can only attract some players, and in the end, it depends on the quality of the product, whether the gameplay is fun or not. If the game is well-made, word of mouth will naturally spread, and if there is no major problem with the promotion operator, then it will attract players. So I don't think foreigners can't play, quality and publicity, which one will be lacking in the herring network? ”
"It seems like that...... The problem though...... It's three o'clock, and you still can't sleep? ”
“……”
Xie Jiaming weighed his mental state and typed over: "I guess I have to ask for leave tomorrow morning, Red Bull has drunk a little too much, I'll think about the reason later." ”
The company's system where he works is quite flexible, and it is not difficult to ask for leave, but the main thing is that you need to ask in advance before going to work, send a text message to your direct leader and make a phone call, and social software is also OK, anyway, you have to inform in advance, and it is not considered to be a leave after nine o'clock, and it is considered late or absent from work according to the time.
"I also admire you, think about so many things, a reason for my own private collection, there is a thief in the house, go to the police station to file a case, and then make a record, and give it to you for free, this is half a day's amount, it shouldn't take long to make a record. Try to add a little more detail to make it more believable, such as where did the thief crawl in, what exactly he stole from, and what neighbors have recently been stolen, think for yourself. ”
"It's so true, I'm almost convinced...... But...... I don't have any experience in the police station, and I can't answer any of the details when the boss asks about them...... Isn't the transcript from a Hong Kong movie, do we have this thing in the mainland? ”
"I haven't been there either, so I didn't dare to use this...... Forget it, there is one more, and it will be sent to you for free, when I wash my face in the morning, I accidentally broke the faucet, I can't turn it off, the water is all leaking at home, the floor is soaked, and the neighbors downstairs have come up to complain, so hurry up and ask the master to repair it. That's really my own reason to keep it. ”
"How did you come up with such a tricky reason?"
"Think with your heart."
"Well, how long is this?"
"Depending on the level of your description, if it is to repair a faucet, it will only take half a day, this has to count the master's business is too busy, you have to wait for him for a few hours, the floor is soaked and then contact the master to change the floor for a day, and there is a quarrel with the neighbors downstairs, compensation, you can also go to the police station."
"Forget it, I'll figure it out for myself."
"I'm really just going to sleep."
"Okay."
