8. Stitch Monster
Duncan, college student. At the same time, he is a virtual reality game anchor, a senior technical anchor (self-proclaimed).
Duncan's family, although not wealthy, had a good life. As a result, three years ago, Duncan's father failed to start a business and owed a lot of debt. The family even sold their house, and the small family lived in poverty.
Even whether Duncan and his sister can continue their education is a question.
Fortunately, more than a year ago, Duncan climbed the wave of the boom of fully immersive virtual reality games, relying on his outstanding eloquence and good technology, he became a well-known virtual reality game UP host and anchor. Although it doesn't earn much, it can subsidize the family to some extent.
Now, he has this little side hustle while juggling his studies. When making videos and live broadcasts, I can occasionally have a meal.
In the process of live broadcasting, Duncan also formed his own characteristics. When he broadcasts the game, he will deeply analyze and study many game mechanics and release strategies. He also carefully analyzes the current state of the industry and even analyzes the future of games by discussing the operation of game companies.
Of course, Duncan is not a practitioner in the relevant industry, and it is impossible to involve too professional content. However, most of the audience didn't understand it anyway, so they just had fun.
Duncan sat down in front of his computer and started his work for the night.
"Hello brothers and sisters, welcome to the new issue of "Rui Shuo Xinyou"!"
"It's the much-anticipated game recommendation day at the beginning of the month, and I believe there is always a game for you in front of the screen!"
He opened the "V-Tour Today" website to check out the newly released and upcoming virtual reality games during this time.
"Hey, I haven't been on it for a month, so there are more than 20 new games?"
Duncan also knows that virtual reality games have been few because of their high technical requirements, exaggerated costs, and uncertain profit prospects.
Among the more than 20 new games in front of us, most of them are low-cost games, which cannot give full play to the real advantages of virtual reality games. Many games are also bound to virtual helmets of specific manufacturers, which not everyone can play.
Duncan teased the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Hey, I think when the fully immersive virtual reality game came out, how many big factories painted cakes!"
"At that moment, it was like the metaverse. It seems that if they don't catch up with the popularity of virtual reality games, they will be inferior. ”
"As a result, two years later, when I wanted to eat the cake, I realized that the cake was still on paper!"
In the live broadcast room, the audience also laughed and ridiculed a few games of drawing pies.
Although he said it lightly, Duncan didn't feel it in his heart.
He is the UP master and live broadcaster, relying on the popularity of virtual reality games.
If the entire virtual reality game industry declines, where will he still have traffic and income?
In the past two years, there has been no high-quality and high-popularity virtual reality games in the industry, and Duncan has become more and more worried about his side business.
Could it be that virtual reality games are really version traps? Should I have changed careers sooner and broadcast more traditional games?
Duncan didn't show his concerns, but smiled and looked at the new game.
"Without further ado, let's get down to business."
"Midnight Tide. Shooter games? Isn't this the "Bug Tide" that was complained about buying a bug and giving away a game a few days ago? Exclusive to the CC series helmets. The price is 399, if you are interested, you can search for yourself. ”
"Green, a sports game. Well, it's a free-to-play game. Obviously, it's a low-cost game that relies on advertising and in-app purchases to make money. I think this kind of low-cost game is to take advantage of the popularity of virtual reality games. Virtual reality games are all about burning money, so you can feel it. ”
"The Man in the Thousand Faces Play" is a new game in the martial arts style. Players play as a drama and can gain different abilities by switching between opera characters. This is probably my most recommended game of the day, priced at 488. ”
“······”
Finally, Duncan's eyes fell on a game advertisement.
This is an advertisement for a game called Dawn.
On the cover, a charred, gravel-strewn wasteland, shattered by mountains and sloping hills with sidewalls, breaks up the monotonous landscape. The dark River Styx flows through the land. Armoured legions of devils march across the barren lands.
Duncan glanced at the advertising slogan under the cover again.
"Dawn" is a fantasy-themed open-world sandbox card MMO virtual reality adventure game independently developed by Jingzhou Angel Black Technology Company. This is a new version of the ship that you have never seen before, and you will fall in love with this game in just 3 minutes! ”
The live broadcast room was immediately filled with happy air.
The notch of the setting sun: "Laugh to death, what kind of stitching strange advertising slogan is this?" The soil has to be level and content. ”
Pay attention to Brother Deng: "The current virtual reality game has been reduced to the point where you want to use this kind of stitching strange advertising words to attract attention?" ”
Xueyu Xinfeng: "Wait a minute, this game company is called [Angel Black], right?" It's a name I've never heard before. ”
Alice Megatron: "Open world, cards, sandboxes, MMOs, virtual reality games, what about the stack of buffs?" ”
“······”
Duncan laughed.
Although the advertising words of this game are indeed sewn well, it can definitely mobilize the atmosphere of the live broadcast room, which is absolutely indispensable. Anyway, he is the anchor, and the goal is to make everyone in front of the screen have fun, and no matter how sensational the game is, it is not bad to bring laughter to the audience.
"Okay, brothers and sisters, let me show you if the promotional video of this game is as funny as its advertising slogan."
