Chapter 13 Explosive Growth in Downloads

The game concept of Alpha Centauri is relatively backward, so the planner does not divide any specific work, such as system planning, numerical planning, level planning, plot planning, script planning and even the main planner who is responsible for overall management and coordination.

It is only based on the game's graphics, music, plot, and gameplay, and in this world, the game planner usually represents the game developer, and the planner controls everything, and the other three pieces of content can be outsourced to others and pay others to work for themselves.

If the game developer can't afford to pay the salary, and the four major pieces of content are done by themselves, there will be a title of independent producer, which means that the game is garbage.

Wang Wei glanced at the list of makers of the four squares of the game, and found that they were all his names, so he sighed helplessly: "Isn't this clearly telling others that I am doing a garbage game...... But in fact, it's not. ”

Wang Wei thanked the federal game platform that held this competition, and was glad that there were no game experts or game judges in this competition, otherwise according to those who have a lonely personality, Wang Wei's game would be singled out at first sight.

He turned to look at the soldiers patrolling around him with shotguns, pistols, batons, body armor, and blast shields, and asked:

"9527, like these soldiers, how many of us do you think it takes us to defeat one?"

9527 As a part-time police officer and bodyguard robot, it turned its head to look at the security soldiers in front of it, and said directly without hesitation: "Dozens of people." ”

Is the gap so big? Wang Wei looked at the Robocop unwillingly and continued to ask, "What if I equip my soldiers with the same weapons and equipment?" ”

After continuing to scan the four soldiers patrolling around, the Robocop said very upright and very untactfully: "More than a dozen people......

Wang Wei was deeply shocked and understood that his family background was so thin, "Although you changed the position of the two words, what is the difference between dozens of people and dozens of people!" ”

With just over two hours to go before the 10 a.m. tournament begins, nearly 2,000 players are holding handhelds and downloading the games that are free for them to play today.

SNS handhelds are the most sold handhelds, and it is impossible for everyone as a player to buy only one type of hardware, but must buy two or more handhelds, so the number of SNS handhelds in the venue is as high as 1,900 units, and almost all of them come with SNS handhelds.

A freckled boy walked up to the play-to-download game store panel, looked at the icon on the federal gaming platform, and guessed: "This one has a submachine gun, it should be a shooting game, so I'll play this......"

"This rabbit looks cute.,It should be a development game.,Then I'll download this.。

"This icon has a soccer ball on it, so I'll choose this."

"Jedi Warrior: Lightsaber is made by a B-level designer, so I definitely want to download it!"

Free games, like a buffet that doesn't cost money, each player fills their handhelds, downloads dozens of games, looks at the full desktop, and then returns to their seats to start playing.

Wang Wei did not change the icon of the new Superhorse DS, it was still the grotesque icon of eating a huge mushroom and transforming into a giant Mario chasing chestnut man mushroom monsters, he picked up his presidential terminal bracelet and checked the number of downloads of the new Superhorse DS.

"As of December 1, 2017, 8:55 a.m., the number of downloads of New Super Mario Bros. is 9"

Wang Wei frowned, he didn't know why there were so few downloads during the most lively time period now, he whispered with a gloomy face:

"Is it because of the introduction of the game? Most people don't want to download indie games because of them? No, I deliberately kept the original joyful and grotesque colorful icon, just to show that this is an unusual game......"

The contrasting colors, complementary colors, and icons with strong contrasts in the size of the characters displayed by Wang Wei deliberately retained by Wang Wei have indeed aroused the curiosity of some people, and they are not completely useless.

A seven-year-old child, playing every day to find differences, is tired of the usual game of encountering each other, just like the earth is doing every lesson and practice, or for the 5-year college entrance examination and 3-year simulation tutorial children, they want to find something alternative to do.

So, the grotesque icon of the new Superhorse instantly attracted their attention, although the seven-year-old child was taught by his father not to download those games made by independent producers, but the child still downloaded the new Superhorse, the reason is that this game is only 14MB, which is much smaller than other games that move hundreds of MB, and will not take up too much handheld capacity.

The child's father is a soldier in the last days, and he judged from his own experience:

"Forget it, whatever you want, anyway, you'll know that this garbage game is nothing fun in a minute, I know it's not a fun game by looking at the size of this miniature game, and it's from a barren mountain like Atlantis that I've never heard of."

The child ignored his father and clicked on the game icon of the new Superhorse. As for his father, he shook his head and decided to let the child suffer on his own, so that the child would know that as a father, he had a good experience and could quickly distinguish between good and bad games.

When the child saw the game prompt to put the screen upright, he started the game of the new superhorse with this alternative way of playing, and looked at this kind of picture that was completely different from the simple picture he imagined.

Although the game is divided into two screens, he is very satisfied with the beautiful graphics, and he starts his journey of eating gold coins by looking at the prompts on the screen.

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ...... "The refreshing feeling of eating gold coins fills the child's heart", and "Papapa" Mario sweeps the map after eating a huge mushroom, which makes the child who is just trying it out.

The father expected his son to switch games quickly, but he watched his son play with the dynamic electronic music in the game, and looked at him with a look of satisfaction, and the father began to wonder if he was wrong, is this an indie game really fun?

The son felt his father leaning on top of his head and watching him play, and said with a bright smile: "Dad, come, let's play together, this game can be played by two people, it is very fun, it is even more fun than those games that cost four or five hundred credits!" ”

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll download it and check it out. You wait for me for a few minutes."

In this way, driven by only 9 downloaders, I started the game to Amway to relatives or friends next to me.

Wang Wei, whose face was gloomy, was not reconciled, he felt that the culture and atmosphere of the two worlds were similar, and it was impossible for no one to notice this excellent game of excellent quality, and besides, he was a specially selected two-player game, which could be invited and recommended to relatives and friends.

He took out the presidential terminal bracelet again, checked the number of downloads of the new Super Mar DS, and looked at the virtual panel on the bracelet: as of December 1, 2017, 9:03 a.m., the number of downloads of "New Super Mario Bros.": 66

"66?" Seeing Wang Wei, who had multiplied several times, his gloomy face improved a lot.

After waiting for a few minutes, he checked the number of downloads again, "88"

“360”

“998”

“1888”

Wang Wei watched the explosive increase in downloads, and when he saw that the game was about to start at ten o'clock, most of the SNS handhelds had downloaded his games, let go of his frowning brows, and exhaled deeply.
