Game designer: I am making games, not charity

As the up master of this video, the composition is obviously not very clean.

In this video, he deliberately compared the game "Diablo" and "Zhu Xian" with a novel.

Moreover, the topic was brought up on things like culture, both openly and secretly.

It seems to be very fair, and there is nothing sharp about it. It looks like a reasonable person.

In fact, it secretly used "Zhu Xian" to belittle "Diablo".

At the same time, Chen Feng, the president of Platinum Corporation, and Chen Xi, the author of "Zhu Xian" were also mentioned.

He held Chen Xi high above him, thereby lowering Chen Feng.

I have to say, the effect of this video is very good.

Just sent it out not long ago.

The entire data exploded directly.

It broke through more than 100 million views within half a day, and what is even more outrageous is the number of comments.

In just half a day, there were more than 3 posts!

This is a number of comments that many videos with tens of millions of views may not have.

It has to be said that the two topics of "Diablo" and "Zhu Xian" have been on the hot search successively, and the traffic brought by them is indeed huge!

And the reason why this video can have so many comments.

It was entirely because in the comment area, netizens who supported "Diablo" and "Zhu Xian" spontaneously divided into two camps, and disputes arose between them!

At the beginning, netizens were still calmly discussing who is better, "Zhu Xian" or "Diablo".

But in the end, they started spraying each other directly, and the spraying became more and more excessive.

"There is one thing to say, what the up master said is quite right. "Zhu Xian" promotes the national style, and the world of Xianxia perfectly shows the cultural style of my great Xia country. "Zhu Xian" can be out of the circle and become popular. It’s justifiable and well-deserved! But looking at “Diablo”, it’s not that this game is not good, but if you have a cultural background, you can’t use our domestic ones? Foreign moons are rounder, right?”

"I don't know what the intention of the up master is. The game "Diablo" has broken the record in the stand-alone game industry. I heard that many foreign players are looking for resources to play the game, and most of them know that this game is from Isn’t our big summer game a kind of cultural export? Isn’t it a proof of our strength? Is it intentional to start a war here?”

"That's right! "Diablo" is the one that really brought China's domestic game industry out of the circle and achieved cultural output. "Diablo" is the real awesome! No matter how awesome "Zhu Xian" is, you will come out! Have you circled it? Is there anyone playing abroad? A group of people are holding a broken novel and flirting there, and they come to catch the heat of Diablo, are you sick? "

"You guys are just playing games, aren't you? What is "Diablo"? It's just a bad game imitating the West, and it's banned. Can it be something good? Let me tell you, before The Game Administration’s ban is right! But it’s not strong enough, I think it should be banned forever.”

"Hehe, those of you who spray "Diablo", have you ever played the game? What a bunch of sand sculptures."

"No way, no way, it's been 9102 years, there will be people who can't afford vr equipment and can only play computer games. Garbage games, learn from "Zhu Xian", engage in national style, only imitate Western style Your game company will be rubbish for the rest of your life!"

"Is "Zhu Xian" awesome? Sorry, I think those who read online novels are dicks."

"It's just a bunch of sand sculptures who read online novels. What kind of rubbish is "Zhu Xian"? It's not comparable to "Diablo" at all!"

"The horses who watched "Zhu Xian" are all dead, a group of sand sculptures! It's just an online novel, what is it? The copyright is still sold for so much money, I really don't know why? Just type a few words on the computer, and I will do it myself." Okay!"

"What is Chen Feng? It's just a broken businessman who makes games, can he compare with Chen Xi? I can't understand it, so I cursed people here? Breaking the defense? A group of brainless sand sculptures playing Diablo!"

"To be honest, there is actually nothing wrong with "Zhu Xian", but these fans are really too cerebral! You just wrote a novel, and you insist on comparing it with a game. Do you idiots know how many things are needed to make a game? You don't have anything I know, let’s talk about it here, let’s talk about a hammer?”

"I just said it! Whether it's difficult or not, what I'm talking about is culture! Do you understand? "Diablo" just doesn't deserve so much attention, and "Zhu Xian" promotes our culture, understand? Those who only know how to play games, do you know what culture is? Read more books!"

"I read your mother!!!!"

……

This swearing war in the comment area directly caused hundreds of users of station b to have their accounts blocked and silenced!

Moreover, this kind of debate and topic has been extended to various platforms such as bib and know.

Everyone was arguing like they had eaten gunpowder.

Of course, this kind of debate is destined to have no result from the very beginning, and it is impossible to draw a conclusion on which one is more powerful.

Of course, it won't have much impact on both "Diablo" and "Zhu Xian".

However, these banned accounts, as well as the users, also made the popularity of "Diablo" and "Zhu Xian" continue to rise, and then rise...

……

At this moment, in the office of Platinum Games Company.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chen Feng watched the scolding battle that had spread over half of the Internet, the more he looked at it, the more strange it became, and the more he watched it, the more helpless he became!
"Is this... Is there a civil war among my fans?"

He couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little excited and excited.

"Curse! Scold well! The more fierce the scolding, the better, the more it shows how awesome I am! Haha!"

Just as Chen Feng was thinking about these things.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Luo Zhonghao poked his head in from the outside.

"Mr. Chen, everyone is here, waiting for your meeting."

Chen Feng nodded, got up, and walked towards the conference room.

Because this time, the results of "Diablo" exploded, so Chen Feng notified everyone and came to hold a report meeting.

It is mainly to report and summarize the experience and experience of the game "Diablo".

At the same time, Chen Feng also planned to praise Luo Zhonghao at the conference and promote him to be the head of the technical department.

As for Zhang Mengyao, he was directly promoted to vice president of the company.

Although most people in the company have already tacitly announced this news, it has not been officially announced after all.

So he called all the staff and had this meeting.

When we arrived at the meeting room, everyone was there, but each of them had strange expressions on their faces.

Chen Feng was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Everyone was silent, and after a long while, Zhang Mengyao finally opened her mouth and said, "Senior, many people on the Internet are scolding our "Diablo" because there is a video on station b, which caused netizens to compare our game with the novel "Zhu Xian". and……

And some people compare you with Chen Xi, the author of "Zhu Xian".Now they are scolding a lot in station b..."

Hearing this, everyone had different expressions.

Some people held their mobile phones and looked depressed: "Yeah! Now the scarf is also making a lot of noise!"

Some people began to make suggestions: "How about, Mr. Chen, go talk to the author Chen Xi, and release the scarf together, so that fans will stop fighting."

"That's right, Mr. Chen, you and God Chenxi should be quite familiar, right? Just go ahead and say it, if we continue to scold like this, it will have an impact on our game and reputation..."

"Yes, the current public opinion is very serious. If it is not handled properly, it may affect the company's future development..."

……

The employees spoke enthusiastically.

And the reason why they want to solve it so much is that they really feel that "Zhu Xian" promotes domestic culture even more.

In fact, Chen Feng also thought so about this matter.

After all, "Diablo" was originally a game for foreigners. He has worked hard to make some modifications and added some elements, but it is impossible to completely become Daxia's appearance.

And...he has nothing to do, after all, games are drawn, so he can't be drawn out, right?

Therefore, Chen Feng just shook his head and did not accept the opinions of the employees.

All the employees felt a little helpless.

Originally, today's meeting was to summarize the experience and experience of "Diablo" this time, and to commend Luo Zhonghao and other employees who did a good job in making the "Diablo" game.

It belongs to the nature of a commendation conference.

But who knew, such a scolding war broke out on the Internet.

What I worked so hard to make was scolded by people on the Internet like this.

They will naturally feel a little uncomfortable.

But Chen Feng didn't care about it, and waved his hand lightly: "Don't worry about this matter, let's hold our meeting."

For Chen Feng, whether it is "Diablo" or "Zhu Xian", they are all his own. Fans of both are Chen Feng's fans. They scold each other, why is he embarrassed?
But what Chen Feng didn't know was... Zhang Wuhua was embarrassed! ! !
He is so embarrassing!

Be the only one who knows everything.

At this moment, he was sitting in a corner, blushing.

Mr. Chen and the author Chen Xi are the same person!
Unfortunately, only he himself knows!

If one day, everyone knows, they will definitely die collectively...

He didn't even dare to think about that scene.

Just before Mr. Chen came, some employees even scolded Chen Xi a few words, but he specifically stood up and said that Mr. Chen and Chen Xi had a very good relationship, so you can't say that.

Otherwise, if that person scolded Chen Xi in front of Mr. Chen...I'm afraid he would be fired the next day for stepping into the company gate with his left foot!

Zhang Wuhua was full of helplessness. He really wanted to tell the truth about this matter, but he really didn't dare to say it without Mr. Chen's consent...

Chen Feng was naturally unaware of these small episodes among the employees.

He didn't notice Zhang Wuhua who was in the corner with a suffocated expression, and started the meeting straight to the point.

First up is the Diablo score.

Since the first day, after 50 sales in four hours, the daily sales have been stable.

For the next few days, the basic daily sales were between 50 and [-].

Now all sales add up to 300 million!
At this time, the growth rate of sales is slowly stabilizing.

This result has completely broken the record, enough to be called a legend in this world! .

As long as the sales volume does not drop sharply, if this trend continues, there should be a chance to break through to 1000 million copies in a month!

So, no matter what those netizens who don't like on the Internet scold.

"Diablo" has actually made a lot of money.

This result also greatly exceeded Chen Feng's expectations at the beginning!

It turns out that stand-alone games can also make money like this!
After that, there are rewards for meritorious service, commendations, and personnel scheduling within the company.

The meeting went very smoothly, and everyone was able to concentrate.

And after these things are over.

Next, I have to think about the next game, what should I do!

Other game companies have research and development tasks.

But in Platinum Games, none of this needs to be done.

So once the new game is launched, most of the people in the company will naturally be idle.

Chen Feng also thought about refining the company in the future and trying to give everyone something to do.

But right now, it is more appropriate to take advantage of the victory and pursue a new game!
Because the current money on the company's books is not enough to buy a phenomenal game.

Moreover, as a company, there are many places where money is needed, and it is impossible for Chen Feng to spend all the money to buy games.

So this new game, there is a high probability that it can only be drawn!
While Chen Feng was thinking in his heart, he communicated with these employees and asked them to prepare in advance: "Everyone should also prepare, we are about to start developing the next game."

As soon as the voice fell, Luo Zhonghao immediately stood up and said: "Mr. Chen, I think that the next game, we have to make a national style game. The criticism on the Internet is too serious! We must seize this opportunity to prove our Your own strength! If you do well, it will not only clear up the curse, but also completely solve the marketing!"

As soon as the words came out, the other employees immediately nodded in agreement.

"That's right! That's true!"

"Since they say we can't do it, then we don't have to respond, just play a game and throw it in their faces!"

"Yes! This is the best response!"

All of a sudden, the employees were very excited and moved.

Luo Zhonghao was also deeply encouraged, turned on the computer on the side, and handed it directly to Chen Feng.

Above is a large section of comments left by players.

"One thing to say, "Diablo" is indeed a very good game, but why does Platinum Games always make Western Fantasy-style games? Why can't they make some Chinese-style games?"

"Games are good games, but how far can a Western-style game company go? Mr. Chen should think about it and make some Chinese-style games."

"I hope Mr. Chen can listen to our opinions and play a national style game."

……

There are countless words like this.

Many players who hope and support Platinum also hope that Platinum can go abroad for games.

But this kind of thing... Although Chen Feng is the president of Platinum Company, it doesn't count if he said it!
It depends on the face of the system master!
As said before.

What kind of game do you want to play, you still have to draw it out...

Chen Feng pushed the computer to the side, made a solemn look, looked at Luo Zhonghao and other employees, and said earnestly: "We game practitioners, why do we make games?"

The employees didn't know what Chen Feng was going to say, but seeing the president so serious, they were naturally extremely nervous.

So no one answered at all.

And Chen Feng didn't think about asking others to answer, he continued: "Are we making games for other people's opinions? Is it purely for making money?"

"It's for a dream!"

Chen Feng said loudly: "Just because of some online comments, we have to change our thoughts, change our plans? Even change our dreams? Do you think this is okay?"

All the employees looked at each other in blank dismay.

We... haven't planned it yet?

But Chen Feng didn't care so much, he pointed his finger on the table and made a "dong dong dong" sound.

He said very seriously: "This is not good!"

The employees all bowed their heads.

Luo Zhonghao was even more solemn. He stood up and apologized: "Mr. Chen! I understand! I admit my mistake! Indeed, we cannot be influenced by the outside world when we make games!"

"Only by making a good game in our hearts can we be worthy of ourselves and the players!"

"Well said!" Chen Feng took the lead in applauding.

The other employees also applauded.

After the applause subsided, Chen Feng said again: "Since this is the case, I will think about the theme of the next game. You should also prepare early, and then you may be busy again."

"That's it, let's go!"
