Stardew Valley!

That's right, the special guest entry project that Gu Sheng prepared for the Mini Game Festival this time is "Stardew Valley", which was known as a masterpiece in his previous life!

Of course.

In this regard, the people of the gold experience did not know it, and even felt unfamiliar.

"...... this?"

As all the members of the Golden Experience Group arrived and looked at the game cover on the big screen, the team leader Jiang Yun said with interest:

"Pixel-wind?"

The pixel wind is of great significance to the gold wind.

I think back then, when the Golden Wind was still a small scale, with a pixel style, they killed through the small game festival (by the way, Jiang Yun's game was also KO).

Therefore, the pixel art game for Jiang Yun can really be said to be a game type that makes him a blessing in disguise.

After all, if it weren't for the fact that Goldwind had killed him in a vampire survivor fantasy battle for supremacy, there would have been no such thing as stealing the vote rankings later.

If there is no such thing as stealing rankings, he will not go around and join the Golden Wind and become the leader of the Golden Experience in the future.

And now, when the pixel art mini-game is in front of him again, the person at the helm this time has become him.

To be honest, it's an amazing feeling.

Jiang Yun was interested.

"That's right,"

Gu Sheng nodded:

"A pixel-art RPG casual game, or...... It also has another category of games that aren't particularly specialized......"

Stardew Valley.

In theory, it should indeed be considered a role-playing game.

In this game, players will play the role of a young man who is crushed by 996 blessings to the point of collapse, and accidentally receives a letter from his grandfather one day.

In the letter, Grandpa wrote, "By the time you read this letter, you must be in dire need of a change. The same thing happened to me a long time ago, and I forgot what the most important thing in life really is......]

Grandpa leaves a deserted farm to the protagonist, saying that it will be the perfect start for the protagonist's new life.

So, after all, the protagonist couldn't stand the dark life of a social animal, so he came to the town of Stardew Valley with a backpack on his back and started his own pastoral life.

The game is overall relaxed and fun, planting vegetables and fishing, quarrying and mining are not pleasant, and every festival, the town will hold unique fun activities.

The noisy pressure of reinforced concrete and the sound of dogs and horses seem to be gone here.

All you have is carrots growing out of the soil, truffles arched by pigs, sweet and delicious star fruit wine, and the mayor's lace message that makes you smile.

As Hai Zi said in the poem -

From tomorrow onwards, be a happy person

Feed the horses, chop wood, and travel the world

From tomorrow, care about food and vegetables

I have a house facing the sea and spring flowers are blooming......

And instead of calling it a "role-playing game", Gu Sheng prefers to call it -

"Farming game."

"Farming game?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun, Kailang and Jiang Shan exchanged glances with each other, obviously not understanding.

To know!

In this world, although there are many types of game themes, they can't avoid an ultimate mission goal after all.

It's like scores in sports games, kills in shooting games, rankings in racing games, and so on.

Even games like Tetris and Mario, in the final analysis, have an ultimate mission goal -

Eliminate blocks to accumulate scores, and rescue the princess through difficult levels.

Can you "farm" ......?

What is the purpose of the game?

Crop growing?

After growing into a crop, is the task completed?

For a while, the members of the studio of the Golden Experience, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't understand what kind of gameplay the "farming game" in Mr. Gu's mouth is.

However, in everyone's inquiring and puzzled eyes, Gu Sheng's answer was even more surprising:

"The purpose of this game...... It just doesn't have a purpose. ”

Let's talk about it.

Gu Sheng thought for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and smiled:

"In other words, the ultimate goal of this game is to make players feel relaxed and live their lives."

The joy of spring planting and autumn harvest can be the purpose of the game.

The king of fish throughout the year can be the purpose of the game.

Medals for various events can be used for game purposes.

Battles in the pit can also be a game objective.

Our purpose is that we have no purpose.

Because life is never about success or failure based on scores and rankings.

Of course! The number of kills is even worse!

Maybe in real life, we can't live the salted fish life we want because of this and that reason.

But in the game, the Golden Wind is willing to provide everyone with such a spiritual harbor, heal the painful and tired souls, and let the players get a little pause and respite from the road of life.

This is the charm of farming games.

Wow –

After listening to Mr. Gu's words, the employees of Gold Experience couldn't help but shout softly in their hearts.

Our president is really awesome.

He really knows how to stir the nerves of players.

A simple remark, like a big move from Zen Yatta, makes people [feel peaceful] on the spot.

The point is!

Think about it according to the president's thinking, you can return home after work, plant flowers with a handle, raise grass, feed chickens, touch sheep, and say hello to your neighbors.

Even if it's fishing at sunset.

Come to think of it, it does seem like a good experience.

There is a feeling of boredom and fun at the same time.

After all, no one had ever made a game like this before.

Don't say you haven't done it, you haven't heard of it!

But then again!

Such a pixel-style game, in the end, it is estimated that it will not cost much, at best, 1.5 million knives is completely enough.

After all, the cost of Plants vs. Zombies is only 1.15 million dollars.

The production cost of these two games is estimated to be very similar.

Come to think of it!

I saw that the designers of the Golden Experience looked at each other, and then nodded with a smile:

"Then leave it to us!"

A little project for leisure!

It is simply appropriate to hand it over to the Golden Experience Studio at this time.

After all, before that, they had been busy for most of the year, working hard for the world-famous "Overwatch".

Nowadays, making a small game and playing casually can be regarded as a change of direction and vacation.

Moreover, Gu Sheng did not have much expectations for the sales of "Stardew Valley".

Yes.

He didn't think that Stardew Valley would be able to create the legend of Plants vs. Zombies, and even the messy kitchen might not be able to compare.

And such concerns are naturally grounded.

First, Stardew Valley, as the world's first casual pixel game with elements such as "farming, fishing, and mining", may not be accepted by players.

Second, and most importantly, -

The release date of "Stardew Valley" will collide with "Resident Evil 7".

Yes.

I bumped myself.

It's embarrassing.

But there is nothing to be done.

Because the release date of Biochemical 7 has been determined a long time ago, this time they will face off against Kemera again, and the two sides will compete with each other, and the release date of the game will be set on the same day.

And on the second day of the release of Biohazard 7!

The Art Game Festival will open, and at that time, Stardew Valley will become the flagship work of the Mini Game Festival, bringing a number of small game manufacturers and works from China to the sea for the second time.

When "Resident Evil 7" meets "Stardew Valley"?

Who's more topical, it's naturally clear at a glance.

What's more!

Nowadays, almost all the publicity and distribution focus of the Golden Wind is all on Biochemical 7!

Because of this wave of Biochemistry 7, Shen Miaomiao must let it earn!

It doesn't matter how much you earn, but you can't lose money!

Why?

Because she has to rely on Biochemical 8 to lose money!

As everyone knows!

Now Biohazard 7, in fact, strictly speaking, is not "Resident Evil of the Wind of Gold".

Shinji Sanshang just authorized the IP of Resident Evil to them, and gave them a chance to show themselves at the price of a knife, to see if Biochemical 7 after returning to horror can turn the tide and turn the tide before the reincarnation of Biochemical IP.

And if this test, they can pass it without a hitch!

Until then!

Sanshang Shinji will negotiate with them and sell the copyright in his hand to them Golden Wind.

That's a huge expense!

According to what Lao Gu said, if the super IP of Resident Evil is sold externally, the starting price will be worth 500 million dollars.

The cost of purchasing the IP of 500 million dollars, plus the related production costs of Biochemical 8......

The total cost of 6-800 million dollars at every turn.

Don't say that the longest settlement time of the documents is four weeks, you just give them another four weeks, such a huge cost, it is definitely not something they can recover in a short time!

And she!

Shen Miaomiao!

At that time, you only need to watch your own man, don't let this loser come out of the "dual platform" sales model again, and at the same time supervise the two terrifying whales Xunteng and Yiyou, so that they don't reduce the commission rate without authorization.

Then everything will be done, and you can just sit back and wait for the 100x rebate inherited from Biochemical 7.

Yes, Shen Miaomiaozhi, in "Resident Evil 8".

In this way, Biochemical 7 has become the second work of Shen Miaomiao to seriously supervise the publicity after a wolf.

Speaking of which, Comela is indeed unlucky.

The last time Shen Miaomiao's [Serious Publicity] power was also used on them.

But here's the difference.

Last time, they had Toru Moriya in charge, although in the end it was due to Kamietsu Keimasa's stubbornness and self-use, but throughout the entire pre-release announcement war of the game, Kemera has never fallen behind, and even faintly occupies the initiative.

But this time!

Not only is Comera gone.

What's even more terrifying is -

……

“…… Today's Moriya is firmly standing on the position of the golden wind, and the propaganda attack launched against us has made us anxious! ”

In fact, originally, Nakamura was still quite confident in this game collision.

Although theoretically speaking, today's Golden Wind has the backing of "Resident Evil IP", and the demo seems to be a small cut better than Silent Hill 2 in terms of quality.

But I can't stand the wealth of Kemera!

With a total investment of up to 350 million dollars, Nakamura has sufficient confidence to fight against the golden wind.

However!

With the closing of the E3 exhibition, the publicity war between the two sides officially began, and the two sides were in contact!

Nakamura was dumbfounded.

The golden wind, which was originally good at defense, took the initiative this time and directly stood out at a high price, once again winning the huge advertising space in the Ginza commercial building not far from their Kemera.

Even this time, even the advertisements with the Yiyou X2 and the Polar Bear III somatosensory cabin also joined the battle, taking down two-thirds of the main road of the entire Ginza shopping street, and seizing the most favorable publicity position.

Moreover, according to Nakamura's understanding, the bid of the gold wind this time is quite high, but at the same time, the fixed amount of liquidated damages is also astronomical.

In other words, these advertisements about Biochemical 7 and Yiyou Xunteng somatosensory cabins will never have a chance to take them off when they are hung up.

Unless they are willing to pay the dizzying and sky-high liquidated damages, prompting the Ginza commercial building to default.

But that's not possible.

In other words, from the beginning, the Golden Wind took advantage of the favorable terrain in the neon homeland, and carried out a local cannibalization plan for them Komera.

And that's not all.

The next day, because they did not respond to the neon announcement of the golden wind in a timely manner, countless relevant media and forum headlines spread the argument that "Comera surrenders without a fight".

It is said that the reason why they did not respond to Komera was to prepare to skip the ticket and postpone the sale to avoid the wind of gold.

It is said that after the success of the night owl, Nakamura is actually ready to fly solo and fight a lawsuit with the senior management of Komela.

It is also said that there is a huge hole in their internal funds in Kemera, and the demo version on E3 is their development result, and the rest of the content is all half-finished products.

There are many opinions, and all kinds of negative arguments are varied.

And just when they were still anxious and dealing with the negative news, the golden wind took back the target, relying on the Tencel bull headquartered in Siam, planting flags in the key publicity positions of half of Asia, and taking advantage of the convenience to begin to extend to Europe, and at the same time in the western part of the United States, to seize the market!

Time!

Comela and its "Silent Hill 2" are like turtles in an urn, completely embattled!

There is Hua Guo in the west, Siam in the south, and Mixi in the east.

It seems that nowadays, the closest propaganda channel to Komela is only Siberia.

Hiss –

If memory serves, the last time Neon set foot in Siberia was when he went there to grow potatoes during World War II.

A blitzkrieg without Poland was announced!

Golden Wind didn't spend too much money, but through its own connections and first-mover advantages, it stabilized its share of publicity and distribution in important positions around the world with sky-high liquidated damages.

And all this for all!

are inseparable from a person's secret trading.

This man is not only extremely well-connected.

And in the neon homeland, it is quite energetic.

Otherwise, the blitzkrieg of the Golden Wind would not have gone so smoothly, and it would not have put Komela in such a situation in such a short period of time.

Tetsuya Moriya.

Yes.

A more terrible situation than the "departure of Moriya" is -

Moriya is on the other side! ——
