279 The Pleasure of the Silverwing Demon (Part I)
Just as Gu Fan's family was leisurely celebrating the New Year, the huge turmoil caused by the burning of the Old Summer Palace was gradually brewing.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the day before the holiday of Mengmeng's daughter culture company, this game was officially launched on the platform.
With the Chinese New Year approaching, it is being sold to players around the world as part of the Spring Festival promotion. After two days and two days of evaluation and promotion by Diego, it finally had its first wave of sales frenzy.
With word of mouth among the first players, the game quickly became familiar to players all over the world. As an epoch-making game boutique, sales are the best proof of it. In just half a month, sales exceeded 5 million copies.
By the time the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was over, when the employees of Mengmeng's daughter culture company went to work again, everyone was stunned by the sales.
"Mr. Gu, I have been very unsteady this year, and I feel like I'm dreaming every day. In half a month, the company's sales increased by 200 million US dollars. Excluding the 60 million commission to the game platform, the company's profit directly exceeded 100 million. ”
On the first day of work after the New Year, Wang Yang said to Gu Fan with a smile: "I knew that the game was so easy to sell, and we should have increased the account sharing ratio to 28." It's too easy for foreign devils to make money. ”
"Don't worry, the real money is still to come. Gu Fan's expression was light: "After playing this game, what do you think of our game engine?"
"It's better than a few series of engines on the market, so I don't know where it goes. Wang Yang is full of praise for his boss's work: "With it, we are almost a century ahead of others." I have several hacker buddies in China, and they have all been given the outsourcing work of analyzing the engine of the burning of the Old Summer Palace. ”
"But so far, no manufacturer has been able to complete the analysis. ”
Gu Fan nodded, and he handed Wang Yang a document: "I still have a simplified version of the engine in my hand, which may not be comparable to the burning of the Old Summer Palace, but it is better than all similar products on the market." You can send an email to a few game manufacturers and ask them if they are interested in buying a license?"
As for the 3D engine used to burn the Old Summer Palace, it will not be sold. Even if Gu Fan sells things, other manufacturers don't have the online support of Dragon Emperor Supercomputer, and they don't want to get such a game experience at all.
"Okay, I'll try it. Wang Yang didn't quite understand Gu Fan's thoughts, but since the boss said so, he must have his own overall considerations.
After taking just two steps, he suddenly turned back and said, "Today's game developers, each developing their own engine. To be honest, I'm not sure they'd be willing to choose to use our products – no company likes to be dictated. ”
"It doesn't matter, when this month's income goes into the company's account, no matter how firm the determination of my peers is, it will waver. Gu Fan added with a smile: "No one will have trouble with money." ”
Although the burning of the Old Summer Palace brought Gu Fan a lot of money, Gu Fan himself did not like game development.
The games made by Gu Fan, whether it is the snowflake fight or the burning of the Old Summer Palace, are all cut and pieced together with his own experience. Then, with technology beyond this era, it is forcibly transformed into a game.
To put it mildly, Gu Fan is selling the computing power of supercomputing for money. In terms of imagination, in terms of breakthrough innovation in games, his achievements are almost zero.
This is also one of the shortcomings of the chaotic algorithm, which is more than enough to innovate and not enough to innovate.
Gu Fan's game talent has been used in these two games. If you continue to make games, you may smash your own brand, but it is better to sit firmly on the game software provider and eat a bite of the cake that others can't snatch.
As the story goes, if there is a gold mine on the other side of the river, everyone wants to go to the gold panning. Being a ferryman on this river is perhaps the least risky and most secure profession.
At the beginning, when every manufacturer was desperately making smart phones, Qualcomm, which was in the upstream of technology, easily ate a big cake with technical barriers.
Gu Fan's goal is to become the next Qualcomm.
Want to make games to make money from players all over the world? No problem, the game production software developed by Mengmeng Daughter Technology will serve you wholeheartedly. The company's authorization method is flexible and the fee is reasonable, there is always one you like.
Larger companies may scoff at cute tools, but smaller game developers will never give up the temptation of convenience.
But then again, Gu Fan is not without innovation, his innovation is "Dragon Emperor Martial Scroll".
This is a martial arts classic comparable to Lego bricks. It can be split into the upper part of "Tianhe Wujuan" and the lower part of "Bing Feng Battle Spirit" is nothing. The upper and lower parts can also be disassembled into upper and lower parts.
Bing Feng's battle spirit can be dismantled into "Heavenly Mirror Chapter" and "Three Sources Pupil Technique", and Tianhe Wujuan can be disassembled into "Long Silk Binding Canglong" and "Vientiane Returns to the Yuan".
Each practitioner can choose any one of them as a starting point according to their qualifications, and then integrate all four books.
Because of the different entrances, the final ending is also different (it's not the Gu family's cultivation, the wrong order of practice will go crazy, will Gu Fan say it casually?)
The only problem was that he was reluctant to spread out the brainchild.
---
Just when Gu Fan was planning to become the upstream of game developers, a completely unexpected storm caused by the burning of the Old Summer Palace was quietly spreading around the world.
In early March, the burning of the Old Summer Palace has become one of the best-selling games in the world.
A month after the game's release, its single-player content has already been played by many players. Watching the gorgeous palace burned down in front of his eyes, the player who chose to become the captain of the Anglo-French army had two completely different emotions.
The first is the guilty player, who remorses his actions and is angry at the stupid things that Britain and France have done in history. These players are actively in contact with each other in an attempt to push the British and French governments to legislate the return of national treasures belonging to China.
Of course, the player's request will not be accepted by the governments, and their appeal will only be regarded as a joke.
But soon they won't be able to laugh - because the second type of player has already started to act.
The cause of the incident has to start with Gu Fan, who is known as the Silver Wing Demon. Gu Fan's research on the evil side of human nature is very thorough, and he has an almost expert-level cognition. He can make the road of evolution change everyone's talk, relying on this knowledge.
Although after returning to Earth, Gu Fan had already done his best to restrain his evil nature.
But where is the impulse to pursue pleasure hidden in his bones, which is so easy to suppress? When he was in a hurry to design the game, he couldn't help but add some ingredients to it.
Normal players play to the end of the game and will only be annoyed by the destruction of the Old Summer Palace.
And when the antisocial players destroyed the Old Summer Palace, they experienced unprecedented pleasure. And from it, I realized that the more precious it is, the more painful it is to destroy.
In pursuit of this pleasure, they will destroy the Old Summer Palace over and over again in the game.
When the devastation caused by playing a single-player game is not enough for them, they will choose to play against other players online. Trying to burn down the Old Summer Palace in front of others, crushing their efforts under their feet, thus gaining satisfaction.
However, as the number of victories increases, their pleasure threshold is further raised.
Until the end, these people will find that the two-dimensional treasure of the destruction game is no longer satisfying for them. So they will look for greater excitement in reality.
For example, in the name of seeking justice for the Chinese, try to burn the museums of the British Empire and the Louvre Museum in France.
