Chapter Fifty-Eight: Old Tang's Platform
"Today is April 1, 2031, one hundred and twenty-one days have passed since the release of Ori and the Dark Forest, a game destined to go down in history since the birth of the Blue Star gaming industry.
I sometimes wake up in my sleep, and I often feel like I'm in a trance, as if there is no such thing as Ori in this world, and everything is just my imagination.
But when I was clear-headed and remembered the bits and pieces of the game of Ouri, I was convinced that Ouri had been born, and I could tell you when it was born.
And along with it, a great sense of frustration gradually came over me.
This stems from the jealousy and compromise of a game maker.
I knew that I would never be able to develop a game like Ori, and I often made the despicable assumption that the game never existed, and finally gradually reconciled with myself in self-loathing.
After nearly 30 years in the gaming industry, and in exchange for the name I have now, I always thought that I was a genius, and I was destined to change the soil of the game industry in this land.
But now, I can only pinch my nose and admit that I am not as good as others.
Luo Bai, Mr. Luo, the leader of Chuxin Game Studio.
Allow me to describe him in the words "leader".
Like the first morning star rising in the night sky, I don't need to go into detail here, and those who come after it will naturally justify it.
Because, the light is there.
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon today, Chuxin Game Studio released the first promotional video of a new game "Dark Dungeon" under development.
For a while, it attracted a lot of people on the Internet, and there were many good people behind him.
Looking down, everyone's discussion is mainly focused on two aspects.
One is the style of painting, and the other is why Luo always doesn't do Ori 2.
I have no intention of arguing about the former, but I just feel that the strengthening of the national aesthetic quality needs to be put on the agenda.
But for the latter, I seem to be able to guess the insignificant thought in Mr. Luo's foresight.
For game developers like Mr. Luo, they treat their works as if they were their own children, and at the beginning of their children's birth, game developers who are parents have poured all their inspiration and hard work into the game.
At the moment of its birth, it was perfect for game makers.
And Ori is indeed perfect, perfect gameplay, perfect graphics, perfect game journey.
And now, players hope that Mr. Luo will make a request for Ori 2 as soon as possible, and there is no doubt that Mr. Luo will recreate a child similar to Ori.
No matter if the new child is better or worse than Ori, or there is not much difference between it and Ori, it is by no means easy for a parent to accept.
Presumably, it was under such circumstances that "Dark Dungeon" began to take root in Mr. Luo's heart.
Is Dark Dungeon a good game?
To be honest, I don't know, no one would dare to jump to conclusions until they have played the game themselves.
But is Dark Dungeon a bad game?
I can pat my chest and promise that it's definitely not going to be a bad game.
In "Dark Dungeon", the shaping of the atmosphere and the bold development in the field of game aesthetics have made me see Mr. Luo's ambition.
Far from being satisfied with the huge success of Ori, he wants to get out of this comfort zone and explore the deeper aspects of the field of gaming.
Although I haven't thoroughly studied this game yet, we may be witnessing the birth of another masterpiece......"
Tang Yunpeng posted a blog, how could Lu Maru not see it.
But when he really finished reading this blog post full of Luo Bai's rainbow fart, a big question mark suddenly appeared on his head.
"Old Don? Did you really write this? Did you really just knock this thing out with your thick, black fingers?
Listen to my advice, hurry up and chop it! ”
"What's wrong with what I posted?"
There are still some problems.
Lu Marru's face darkened, and he continued:
"No matter in terms of years of experience, experience, or awards, there is no doubt that you Tang Yunpeng can be regarded as a senior.
Not to mention that your easter egg also helped Luo Bai a lot.
The last time we met, didn't Mr. Luo also call Brother Tang when he shook hands with you?
How long has it been? Why did you just kneel and lick it?
Look at the words you made when you dragged the text, disgusting! Nausea!
Do you know how to lick the dog lick the dog, lick until there is nothing left! You know you're done with all the cuts? ”
"So what?"
"You deleted that and let me send it."
“?”
Tang Yunpeng has a lot of Weibo fans, but there are not many active ones, because Tang Yunpeng didn't like to post Weibo before.
It's just that a while ago, with his "grievance Zhaoxue", he also began to share some inside stories of the game circle on his Weibo, and gradually his Weibo began to be active.
Of course, Tang Yunpeng is still measured, those things are not so much insiders, but as common sense that everyone in the game circle knows, but outsiders don't know much about it.
I take great care of the kind of cloud players who want to understand the game circle, as well as the writers who need to write this kind of online article but have no place to check the information, such as a guy with a pen name Xiao Subei.
All in all, with the fermentation of Tang Yunpeng's blog post, the discussion of the game "Dark Dungeon" in the domestic game circle has risen to a new trend.
But...... This has nothing to do with Luo Bai.
It's not that he didn't pay attention to the reaction after the first promotional video of "Dark Dungeon" came out, but at that time he had already stepped on the plane to the lighthouse country.
The TGA sent him an email a while ago that "Ori and the Dark Forest" was shortlisted.
Ori was nominated for six awards, including Best Innovative Game, Best Art Direction, Best Indie Game, Best Original Soundtrack, Best Action and Adventure Game, and Game of the Year.
This time, he was specifically asked to go over to receive the award.
TGA, the full name of The Game Awards, is a game festival award sponsored by the three major console hooligans, and is known as the Oscar of the gaming industry.
It just so happened that he didn't win at the Indie Games Festival last time, and Luo Bai planned to add the first trophy to his office window.
Of course, in addition to winning awards, the sales volume of Aori in Europe and the United States has exceeded three million, and three-fifths of the sales are provided there.
In addition, the head of the game department of Micro Hard also wants to make an appointment with him and talk about cooperation.
Hey, busy, maybe that's the worry of a genius game producer.
