Chapter 499: The Ninth Art
After doing so many games, Fang Cheng gradually had some experience of his own.
Nowadays, he already has a feeling of simplicity, and he didn't use too much magic power when making the game "Childhood", just found a planet, and then made the earth twenty years ago.
All the old buildings here are restored one by one, all the items are the same as they used to be, except for no people, everything is the same as the earth once was.
And the best feature of this game is that you can only play as children.
In the game, the player can only exist as a child, and they will experience the wonderful era of 20 years ago from the perspective of a child, to reminisce about the memories of childhood, and to feel the atmosphere of that era.
It doesn't matter if you're under 20 years old, anyway, everyone is a five-year-old child, so it's time to experience someone else's childhood.
However, if there are no adults, this game is still incomplete, so Fang Cheng deliberately made a function, that is, to allow players to upload photos of their parents, and the game will generate corresponding images.
These parents have a special role to play in sensing what the player needs and will do their best to fulfill the player's wishes.
And after learning the lessons of the previous "Heartbeat City", Fang Cheng did not give these NPCs open permissions and too much intelligence, as long as a basic parent-child relationship was maintained.
Other than that, this game world is completely open.
Players can spend their childhood as a homemaker in a small town in their own county, or they can enjoy the childhood of a roll person in a big city.
You can call your friends to fight in the newly opened Internet café near your home, or you can hold pirated comics and read them with your friends all day.
When Huang Ping entered the game, he first circled his location on the large map and locked down the location of his childhood home.
And when he officially enters the game, he discovers that his home is really exactly like what he remembers, and this amazing fact makes him stunned, and he is completely immersed in the atmosphere of his childhood.
This feeling is like inadvertently turning over an old photo of oneself, and the memories of the past come to me, which makes people extremely nostalgic.
And the characteristics of the ninth art of the game are shown here, because players can not only remember, but also walk here to experience the childhood that they can't go back to.
In the game, Huang Ping swam in the town's children's palace, played games in an Internet café near his home for half a day, watched the sunset on the roof of the school for half an hour, and finally returned to his home satisfied.
Before going home, Huang Ping was still very excited, and wanted to continue to play for a while.
But after seeing the people at home, he was stunned.
He knows that his boss has vast powers and unfathomable technical strength, and he is the great god of this era.
But he didn't expect that Fang Cheng's technical strength was already strong to this extent.
He only provided two pictures of his parents, and his parents appeared in his house, and a steaming meal was ready.
Seeing Huang Ping, who returned late, his father was silent as always, and his mother complained twice, brought the food up, and turned on the TV.
Listening to the familiar sounds of animation on TV and eating the food cooked by his mother, Huang Ping suddenly felt that his past experience was like a dream.
I'm only ten years old, I don't play games, my parents are still healthy, and I don't have to worry about anything.
This feeling lasted until he withdrew from the game, and the shock of returning from the dream to reality was so strong that he couldn't help but cry.
The power of this game is really too great.
Unlike Huang Ping's remembrance, the monkey's tears mean something else.
His parents divorced when he was a child, and his father barely took care of him after he remarried, but this has also made his current career happen.
But who would want to endure hardship if it wasn't a last resort?
Therefore, although he did not upload a photo of his parents, he still made certain settings for his parents.
In his setting, his family is a well-off family, and the relationship between his parents is very good, although there will be some quarrels, but they will be reconciled at night.
In such a family, he will not run away from home, but will also be tapped afterwards and then enter the multidimensional club. But the difference is that when he wins the championship, there will be his parents in the seats under the stage, and he doesn't have to watch his teammates hug and celebrate with his loved ones, and there is no one around him.
Taking off the helmet, the monkey also burst into tears, crying uncontrollably.
But after recovering from this sentimental atmosphere, Huang Ping and the monkey felt quite comfortable.
Some of the dissatisfaction of childhood seems to have been filled in the process of the game just now, and they have reconciled with their past selves to a certain extent, allowing them to find that their mood has also changed a lot.
The trauma of childhood takes a lifetime to make amends, but this game seems to allow them to relive their childhood and heal their past selves on their own.
"This game is amazing." Leon also experienced it, and then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "I think of my grandfather, every time I have any questions, he will patiently answer them." There are really not many games that can restore childhood like this. ”
"Really? But I don't feel like much. Xu Qingling said suspiciously, "You guys are exaggerating." ”
"People who have a perfect childhood don't talk, now is the time for us to talk about a scarred childhood." Xiaodouzi also wiped her tears and said, "I also think of my childhood, when I was a child, I was beaten for stealing money from the family to play games, and I was miserable at that time." ”
"I think you deserved it, and judging from your current attitude, it was definitely light."
"What's wrong with kids playing games! And that's obviously the fault of my parents who didn't give me money to buy games. ”
"I think it's really light!" Huang Ping nodded seriously and said.
Excitedly discussed the various plots in the game, and after the discussion, the group said that this game is really too literary.
It's like a player's diary for themselves, and when you open the diary, memories of the past come back to you, bringing you back to the old days.
Everyone's experience in this game is different, but this difference is something unique to their childhood, a treasure they are willing to share with.
"At that time, my aunt downstairs would come over at the end of each month to borrow 200 yuan, and pay it back at the beginning of the month. She did this every month, and every month she was short of two hundred dollars. ”
"There is a coal yard near my house, and my family still burns honeycomb coal at that time, so I sweep it on the road when there is no coal, and it won't take long to sweep a pile."
"The first time I went out of the city was when I went to university, and I thought Mandarin was spoken all over the country."
"I ......"
Looking at the lively chatting scene of his colleagues, Fang Cheng felt a little satisfied.
Staring at the red dust and fire that had been condensed, Fang Cheng knew that this game had inspired everyone's feelings, and the original intention of making the game by himself had been achieved.
Although he hadn't seen the final result yet, Fang Cheng had already felt some joy, and the joy of making games had already surfaced in his heart, making him feel a little happy.
Leaning back in his chair, he propped his chin and found himself in a mood filled with joy.
"I see, it's running out." Fang Cheng muttered to himself.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Hearing Fang Cheng's voice, Xu Qingling asked suspiciously.
"It's okay, it's just a little interesting, how do you feel?"
"It's good." Xu Qingling nodded and said, "Although I can't cry like them, this game is the most reminiscent of my childhood game I've ever played." ”
"It's good to like it. Ready to get started, let's optimize the game and then promote it. ”
Wang Xiaoying thought for a while, and then said to Fang Cheng: "Boss, how about a bundle sale." As long as we buy three generations of virtual helmets, how about we give away the game for free? ”
"Yes, and this game has to use a virtual headset, otherwise what I want won't be reflected."
Hearing Fang Cheng's strong request to use a virtual helmet, Huang Ping was a little surprised.
When he made the game before, Fang Cheng almost didn't impose any restrictions on the game, everything was to let them play freely.
This time, though, he clearly has a higher pursuit of the gaming experience and a higher idea in some details.
This is a good thing, after all, the wonderful game gods have their own insistence, for example, some game producers must make the player suffer, and some must add a little spice to the game, and then tell the other party what it is after the player eats it.
After thinking about it, Huang Ping said: "Bundling is good, but sales may be affected somewhat. We need to take this into account in advance. ”
"That's okay, after all, we're not a profit-oriented studio."
Huang Ping was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Indeed, their studio has sufficient cash flow, strong industrial linkage ability in all aspects, and is also one of the controlling shareholders of Kirin Industries, so there is no need to worry about anything.
Moreover, Kirin Industry also has a military background, even if it fails, the other party will help to cover it, and it is basically invincible.
After carefully taking stock of the current studio's industry, Huang Ping was surprised to find that their studio had unknowingly become so big.
Boss, it's really a god!
Quite proudly, Huang Ping said: "Indeed, I was too worried. Then I don't have a problem, let's get started. ”
A week later, when the first promotional material for Childhood was released, most players expressed their displeasure with the decision from Studio Sidetown, when they saw that the game had to be played in virtual reality.
[Fang Cheng, I can understand your determination to let us play a good game, but this price is really unacceptable. 】
[9999's virtual reality game, you can also play other virtual reality games after you buy it, it's not expensive, right? ] 】
[I think it's quite expensive.] There aren't many virtual reality games on the market, and the boutiques are still games from Fangcheng Studio, which feels a bit like that. 】
[Be content, Fangcheng Studio's game can also be played if you change the platform, unlike the company that should be f*ck, you have to buy it again if you change the platform.] 】
[Don't insult the word f*ck, okay?] 】
[Don't mention whether that company is good or not, now that I think about it, I'm angry, my "Silent Hill". 】
Although most players said that it was quite expensive, after discovering that Fangcheng Studio had ported all the previous games to the virtual reality platform and provided free downloads, the rhythm of the Internet immediately went down.
[Conscience company, I can't support it this time. 】
[The first time I've seen a game ported in all aspects and then free of charge, just with this, I feel like I need to buy one.] 】
[Buy a console and get a game, I've never seen a more generous company than Fangcheng Studio.] 】
The pre-orders for virtual helmets poured in like snowflakes, and Gao Tianyun felt his head go numb after seeing this order.
However, when he thought of the hope of virtual games on his shoulders, he felt full of strength, and said to the employees who were also beaten with chicken blood: "Guys, let's open a few more production lines, let's not sleep during this time!" ”
"Good!"
"I've already bought insurance, and although there aren't many people who are willing to let us insure, there are still a few who aren't afraid of death!"
"The boss is amazing!"
"Don't." Feeling the precarious lifespan of Gao Tianyun and the others, Fang Cheng sighed, knowing that he had to work overtime again during this time.
But as long as it's not employees working overtime, then he feels like he can still talk about it.
So, in the expectation of players, "Childhood" was finally launched.
Players who have purchased virtual helmets in advance can't wait to choose to download, and players who don't have helmets choose to be a cloud player.
When the game was officially launched, some streamers immediately turned on the live broadcast mode and broke the defense offline an hour later.
"No, I can't play this game. I saw my old dog, and he waged his tail exactly as he did when he was alive. ”
"I saw my grandmother, when I was a child, my grandmother loved me the most."
"Grandpa!"
The audience in the live broadcast room felt a little inexplicable as they watched the reactions of the anchors.
Everyone's childhood is different.,Everyone's feelings are also different.,A notebook full of stickers may be a person's treasure.,But in the eyes of the other,It may just be an ordinary book.。
found that their tears came as soon as they spoke, and the criticism of childhood slowly rose.
[I'm a little touched to see the anchor crying, but it's not that strong, is there something wrong with me? ] 】
[Although it doesn't feel like acting, their tears came too quickly. 】
In the face of these criticisms, some people's rebuttals also followed.
[It's really not the anchor's fault, but the personal differences in the game "Childhood" are too great. If you don't play it, you really don't understand. 】
[I can understand why the game is the ninth art, this game can only understand the subtlety if you have played and experienced it. Fang Cheng is really powerful. 】
The voices of various discussions were endless, and finally came to a conclusion:
You have to play this game to understand.
