E3 Exhibition, in the original world, is abbreviated from the words that start with the three letters E.

Its Chinese name is Electronic Entertainment Exhibition.

It is the world's largest and most well-known trade show and video game conference.

In human terms, the main intention of E3 is to provide a stage for major manufacturers in the game industry to throw big moves at each other.

Here, let them show their most valued and valuable products.

Therefore, the main audience groups of E3 are businesses and media.

However, the big move of these manufacturers is not a finished product.

It's just a CG, or a demo of a real machine.

The purpose is to attract the attention of merchants and media, warm up the game in advance, attract investment sponsorship, and so on.

Therefore, for the players in the original world, the so-called E3 exhibition is a pie conference.

And these cakes have the possibility of overturning.

For example, some manufacturers may announce a game that is very cool, cool and realistic, and players are excited to buy it immediately.

But when the game was actually released, I found that there was a difference between what I had in my hand and the actual demo, and there were traces of castration everywhere, and I became one of the countless 'buyer shows'.

There are also manufacturers who are full of confidence when they announce the game, and its quality also makes players feel that it has great potential.

But a few months later, it suddenly broke out that the development of the game was terminated, or the development was chaotic and postponed indefinitely, and there was simply no news, etc., which is regrettable.

Or maybe a certain manufacturer announced a few seconds of CG of a certain game, but there was nothing in it, and a title and scene were displayed, which made the audience who had been looking forward to it for nearly ten years climax.

Then, a few years later, I realized that even the folder had not been built.

Therefore, it is different from the expectations of Chinese players for the exhibition. In the eyes of some foreign players, instead of participating in E3, they can queue up in the crowd for an hour to experience a game demo for a few minutes, or watch the developer's embarrassing press conference with no presentation level.

It's better to wait at home for someone else to release the edited video of the game.

At least it's a little more comfortable.

Therefore, the E3 exhibition is a place where game manufacturers pretend to force the draft to attract the attention of players and the media.

It's also a great place to promote your key game projects.

Through the memory of the original body, Meng Shu found that the E3 of the parallel world was the same.

As the leading manufacturer in China, Infinite Net Entertainment is still developing a game, so it is natural that a promotional exhibition like this will not be missed.

In that case, will Meng Shu miss it?

Apparently not.

"Next month."

Meng Shu put down his phone and thought thoughtfully.

Then, I made a decision.

"I was going to make the game one by one as planned, but since there is E3, let's learn "Black Myth" first, and get the actual demonstration of the new work.。

"As for the finished product. is still according to the plan, ranking behind "The Dark Forest". ”

"Anyway, everyone is here to draw a cake, so I'll draw a cake this time."

Thinking of this, Meng Shu smiled.

Then he picked up his mobile phone and replied to Mr. Liang, with three words on it.

[Absolutely.] ]

At this time, Yang Ying, who was working overtime, suddenly received a message from Mr. An on the company's intranet.

It was a screenshot of the response of the barrage net, and the support and dreams on it were clearly displayed.

Mr. An himself also sent a question.

[What do they mean by that?] Want to copy our game of the same theme? I don't allow them to copy us over and over again! ]

Seeing Mr. An's news, Yang Yingdian felt a lot of emotion.

What about the only game?

What did they post?

Yang Ying ignored Mr. An, but first clicked on the screenshot, carefully looked at the response of Shuoguang on the barrage network, and then... The head is even bigger...

"They're going to make a space sci-fi game too. It's going to be hard. How to explain it to Mr. An..."

Yang Ying looked at Mr. An's avatar and felt tired in his heart.

Having such an outsider as a leader is really fooling around.

He Yang Ying is just the head of the game development team, and things like this between the media and social networks are not in his own hands at all.

Why did you send it to me? What does this question mean?

Moreover, what theme the rival company chooses, that is also the freedom of others.

Maybe the only game is that I saw that my "Bloody Scientist" is a space sci-fi genre, so I want to do it too?

There's nothing wrong with that.

If it is a friend, it may choose to avoid it more or less, but isn't Infinite Online Entertainment a competitor?

It's understandable that they choose the same theme, what are you thinking.

Isn't it necessary to ban others from doing space science fiction themes?

Yang Ying had a little headache.

I don't know how to explain the problem of the game theme to Mr. An, an outsider.

After all, there are only a few on the market, and how many games announced in a year hit the same theme.

Your family has made a modern warfare game, and my family is also going to make a modern warfare game.

It can't be that just because your family did it, I have to change the future war or the ancient war.

It's really unpredictable that a subject like this collides, or that you just want to follow the trend and do the same theme.

But what can be done if it happens?

You can't blame harshly, can you? It doesn't make sense...

Yang Ying rubbed his head, thought about it, and responded by typing.

[Mr. An, I'm really sorry, I don't know what they mean.] ]

Smack-

The keyboard snaps and the message is sent.

After more than ten seconds, Yang Ying felt that something was wrong, and felt that this reply should not be what Mr. An wanted to see.

So he added another sentence.

[But our games will attract players to buy before them, because our games are the first to create a combination of 'horror' + 'shooting', and it is a sci-fi genre that is not available in horror games.] So we have a great advantage, and even our competitors envy us to express our support, success is certain! Our development team will also seize the time to optimize and adjust the game in the remaining time to make the game better presented! ]

After playing, Yang Ying looked at it carefully twice, and after thinking that there was no problem, he pressed send.

Then, as if freed, he slumped in his chair, his eyes blank.

"I can't guess what other people are going to do, I just try to do the best I can do what I'm responsible for. So what other moths, you ask me, I know a fart! ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Ying leaned back in his chair and rubbed his somewhat swollen head.

It was at this time that he came up with the idea that he didn't want to do it anymore.

Then he was shocked for a moment, and quickly shook his head to dispel this idea.

"What am I thinking, this is a technical tour, and it is already enviable to be able to enter such a company and lead a group alone. Why wouldn't I want to do it?"

After shaking off this idea, Yang Ying got up and looked at the same group of partners who were working overtime outside the office, and was speechless for a while.

At this moment, he vaguely guessed.

Maybe the jump group... will be decided by this game...

Time passes day by day.

"Control Failure" is also getting more and more popular as the main story progresses.

Every day, new content is discovered and announced by players in major communities and danmaku.com.

Earn a lot of clicks and plays.

And Meng Shuxin's company has also been fully assembled.

The originally planned gymnasium, recreation room, pantry and so on have also been put into use.

Art director Fang Yuancheng also officially went to work in the company, working with Xia Nianzhen and Qiu Yuan.

After everyone returned to work, Meng Shu announced the development plan for the VR version of "Dark Forest".

Then a meeting was held, and the conceptual design of "Dark Forest" that was originally crossed over and given away by the system was explained in detail.

Let a group of employees sigh at the bottom of the game The forest is grand, quiet and weird.

From this point of view, the reason why "Gloomy Forest" adopts a top-down view design is to consider the player's ability to bear, so this perspective is used in disguise to reduce the horror atmosphere.

Terrible... It's horrible...

Now, Boss Meng is finally going to develop the VR version of "Dark Forest".

When the time comes, what awaits the players is the unprecedented extreme horror in the weird forest...!

After the meeting, the next step was to recruit employees.

At this point, Meng Shu no longer paid attention to it, and directly handed over the responsibility to the old employees.

For example, Chen An, who is responsible for recruiting task designers. Xu Hong is responsible for recruiting animators, motion designers, and so on.

Fang Yuancheng is responsible for recruiting the art professionals he needs.

In short, the powers have been decentralized, and everything is done so that the work can run smoothly.

And for the game "Dark Forest", Meng Shu planned to make a VR version a long time ago.

But then it was shelved because of one work plan after another.

During this period, people kept sending him private messages and commenting on whether he could see the VR version of "Dark Forest" in his lifetime.

In this regard, Meng Shu has never responded.

Now, the decision to develop a VR version is mainly due to the fact that "Dark Forest" is no less popular than the new "Control Failure".

A PC horror game from a year ago, its popularity is actually about the same as the latest VR masterpiece?

How is this possible!?

So, Meng Shu searched the Internet before and found the crux of the problem.

It's a mod...

Players have made a decent number of mods for Gloomy Forest to keep the gameplay alive.

The entire barrage network, a search for the keyword of the dark forest, in addition to a few customs clearance videos collected throughout the whole process, is some MOD display videos.

In addition to the common backpack expansion and infinite backpack mods, it is the bullet doubling and infinite bullet mods.

There are also mods such as teleportation mods, save in place mods, unlimited skill mods, safe house planks that are not easy to break mods, and so on.

There are also infinite durability mods, which are easy to make mods.

What's even more awesome is the additional map mod, the new side mod.

It can be said that it has given "Dark Forest" a second spring.

It's no wonder that its popularity is comparable to "Control Failure" a year after it was listed, it turns out that there is such a group of fanatical fans who are insisting.

But I have to say that "Dark Forest" does have such charm.

After overthrowing the stigmatizing title of 'horror games are a joke' in one fell swoop, the charm of the genre is gradually being amplified.

The appearance of "Gloomy Forest" is not only the first game in the world to be truly branded as 'horror'.

What's more, it opened the door to the horror game market and established the status of horror games under other categories.

It was also the first time that the game "Dark Forest" really brought fear to players and taught them what it means to be afraid.

A game like this with the meaning of 'new development' can indeed be deeply remembered by players.

Therefore, he kept asking Meng Shu if there was any possibility of VR.

So, after a lapse of a year.

When Meng Shu saw the enthusiasm of the players, he decided to give "Dark Forest" a big upgrade.

But he didn't announce it to the public.

Because he intends to give players an unexpected surprise.

Let them know that I see all your requests!

…

At this time, when Boss Meng was busy working.

Brother Banana, who was far away in Yucheng, suddenly looked confused.

He looked at what he had gathered in Control Failure, and his expression gradually changed to disbelief.

Between the throats, there is a continuous surge, and swallowing is not stopped.

"I said... The protagonist of this parallel world... too..."

"It's kind of impossible... I'll play again... Let's see if it's true..."

With that, Brother Banana put on VR again.

I pushed down the progress and kneaded what could have been two or three chapters into one chapter.

(End of chapter)
