390. The darkest day in the history of gaming

Qiao Du didn't know about these discussions.

He just went to the office to work, surfed the Internet, and could see that "My Civilization Simulator" was hotly discussed, and the number of downloads skyrocketed.

There are also some anecdotes in between.

On the third day of the game's opening for download, the game's fame spread abroad.

But the problem is that Qiao Du does not take into account foreign audiences, so there is no foreign language version.

But the game itself is very attractive, which leads to a lot of interested foreign players playing with translators on, as well as the so-called Englishization group, which is ready to translate the game into English.

When Qiao Du saw it, he asked Xiao Ai to translate more than 30 languages, and also made an official webpage for the Internet.

A week later, the game surpassed eight million downloads, heading towards its goal of 10 million.

[To you after 2,000 years: 51%]

The completion of the scene has also improved very quickly, and Qiao Du feels that she can launch the second generation of update patches.

However, according to Xiao Ai's proposal, he did not update it immediately, but decided to let the popularity of the game ferment a little more.

Now there is a lot of work on the Internet.

In addition to normal gamers, people from other fields are gradually getting into this game.

For example, a report that Qiao Du is seeing now.

This is an article on the official account of the School of History of Jiangcheng University, which reports that two master's students who study prehistory learned about the game, applied parameters, imitated a primitive human civilization, and by studying the development of this human civilization, wrote a paper, and was affirmed by the professor.

There are also some film and television companies that use games to edit out many small short dramas with fake and real pictures, and the special effects of these short dramas are strong, and the acting skills of the "actors" are very good, and the number of clicks is quite high.

Moreover, in the story mode, according to the different basic conditions of the world, the development of different forms of civilization, the characters implanted by the player have a high degree of freedom, can be an adventurer with an arrow in the knee in the world of swords and magic, can also become a legend in the zombie trend of the apocalypse, and can also shuttle through the high-rise buildings of cyberpunk as a thief, almost including most of the character adventure games.

Qiao Du also saw a tree hole, the publisher said that he is a master's student in sociology, he said that he used the civilization in the game that has been urbanized to conduct sociological experiments, achieved a lot of results, and is ready to publish a paper.

It can be said that due to the high degree of realism of this game, those outside the circle download the game not only for entertainment, but also to try to assist their own research through the game.

In addition, there is a report that is also very interesting, there are programmers who want to study the code of the game and find out what kind of large model the AI uses in it, but after they unpack, they find that the code in it is not incomprehensible at all, and the programming method used in this game is unprecedented, and it is incomprehensible, not based on the logic on the earth, let alone reproduced, and even can't read the code.

Joe looked at these happily, he refreshed the page, and soon saw another report.

"The darkest day in the history of domestic games".

The accompanying picture is the game screen of "My Civilization Simulator".

Qiao Du suddenly became interested and clicked in to taste it.

This article first introduces the game "My Civilization Simulator", and then begins to analyze the game's impact on the game industry.

For example, what free-to-play games will interfere with players' judgment of normal game prices, so that the pricing of the entire game industry will be affected, and the profits of the entire industry will be reduced, and eventually the game company will go bankrupt and the entire industry will collapse.

For example, because "My Civilization Simulator" includes many types of games, the repetition is very low, so it will occupy a lot of players' leisure time, which will cause players to be unable to spare time to play other games, or watch short videos, which will indirectly lead to a serious blow to all entertainment industries, including games, and countless people will be laid off at that time, causing great turmoil in the industry.

Also, the article also mentions that the essence of this free promotion model is to harvest the market, and when other game manufacturers are forced to die, the makers of "My Civilization Simulator" will start charging for updates, doing whatever they want, and players should not sacrifice their money for small profits.

Finally, the author called on the makers of "My Civilization Simulator" to stand up and open source the game, which can promote the development of the entire industry, otherwise it will call on major manufacturers to boycott the game.

"I'm sick."

Qiao Du couldn't help but worry about the author's mental state, maybe he was controlled by some anomaly, otherwise he wouldn't be able to write such a rebellious article.

He immediately asked Xiao Ai to investigate the situation of the author of this article, and soon confirmed that the author was simply charged for writing a black manuscript and was not entangled in anomalies.

Qiao Du relaxed.

He read the article carefully again, and felt that some of the statements were not entirely unreasonable.

For example, if you want to bring down the global game industry, you only need a company to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to make an excellent game for everyone to play for free.

After all, the development cost of a masterpiece is only hundreds of millions of dollars, like those short video companies, with a monthly turnover of tens of billions, and a month's worth of money directly overturned the game industry, then everyone will come to watch short videos, isn't it perfect.

Also, the author asked for an open-source game, and Qiao Du thought it was pretty good, after all, he didn't want to make money, he just wanted to improve the completion of the scene, if other games used his code, then rounded, all games have the genes of his scene, and the completion efficiency will definitely be faster.

Qiao Du thought about it, this is the truth, and he immediately asked Xiao Ai to release all the source code on the official website.

It's a pity that, just like the results unwrapped by those programmers, these source codes are completely indecipherable at the current level of human technology, let alone reproduced, many people think that Qiao Du is playing tricks on everyone, but a senior hacker came out and said that this is indeed the source code of the game, and the public was in an uproar.

After doing this, Qiao Du didn't promote anything, hiding his merit and fame, he asked Xiao Ai to call the user's data, mainly not forgetting his original intention, after all, he made this game in the first place, just to study the formation process of the exotic land.

Because of these experiences in the school city, Qiao Du also had a curiosity, what is the exotic land, and what is the essence of the Chosen Game, so he will gather everyone's wisdom and want to find the answer through simulation games.

Over the past week, the players have worked hard to create countless worlds, some of which are somewhat similar to the exotic lands that Qiao Du knows.

For example, now Xiao Ai handed over one, which was randomly rolled out after the player set the initial conditions, and he named the world [Wasteland].

Jo Twilight looked into it.
