Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 501 Survival status of the game hall; "Bubble Hall" completed development

May is the era of [Thunder Game Hall] and "Legend of Blood".

Oh, by the way, there is also "My Homeland" that has already opened up dual terminals (computer terminal and mobile terminal). This kind of business development game is suitable for almost all casual players.

The rumors that "the game hall is on the verge of closing down" spread, coupled with the competitiveness brought by the VIP system, gave the [game hall] a second spring.

At the beginning, those people who collectively sang bad words were also dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on.

The "game hall model" will inevitably be replaced by the "Internet cafe model" and become a victim of the latter's rise. This is the general opinion of everyone some time ago. Even Tian Moyun's attitude towards this is somewhat pessimistic, but what's going on now?

A new model of VIP membership system, the price has been lowered? Can it really bring such great power?
In the post bar, a certain game industry leader posted a post: "Talk about my views on game halls and Internet cafes"

"Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the competition between these two major platforms. I have seen that even many economists have spoken out."

"Let me briefly talk about my views on these two models."

"Many people think [Game Hall] is a thing of the past and will be replaced by [Internet Café]. This has been verified by the market. After [Internet Café] was established on a large scale, [Game Hall]'s traffic and turnover have plummeted. It's all true."

"However, I don't think [Internet cafes] can completely replace [game halls]. Both parties have their own selling points. As long as these selling points cannot be replaced, [Internet cafes] will never be able to take away the [game hall] market."

"From the present point of view—"

"The properties of [Internet Cafe] and [Game Hall] are very similar, that is: content is king."

"Although Tian Moyun said a lot in the open letter about promoting the Internet cafe model and promoting the Internet development of Daxia Kingdom, it is undeniable that the most direct source of income for [Internet cafes] should still come from games, not other things. "

"Because both parties are selling games in the final analysis, [Internet cafes] and [game halls] will have such fierce competition."

"But then again, the genetics of the game are completely different between the two."

"The main driving force of [Internet Cafe] comes from emerging online games, with the current most popular "Legend of Blood" as the main game."

"The core selling point of [Game Hall] is action games with elements such as breaking through levels, fighting, shooting, and strategy, which cannot be replaced by online games."

"So my opinion is—"

"[Internet cafes] will certainly attract a large number of [game hall] players, but if you want to completely replace them, it is impossible."

“The good days of [Game Hall]’s explosive profitability have passed, but there will still be a large number of regular players supporting it, and it will not die out in a short time.”

"However, [game hall] still has a fatal problem. Tian Moyun himself has mentioned it, that is, the content is scarce and the gameplay is single. Unless new content + new gameplay can be discovered, otherwise, the [game hall] will not be successful in a short period of time. It will die, but that's only a matter of time."

……

The views of this boss were reposted to various forums and won the approval of many netizens.

Even when Tian Moyun saw it by accident, he felt that what the other party said made sense, so he liked it.

then……

【Shock!His post was liked by Tian Moyun, the reason behind it makes people think carefully...]

This is a bit embarrassing.

"A new way to play arcade games... Actually, I already have an idea."

Tian Moyun said casually: "But everyone is busy now, so it will take some time before we can start."

There are only two game companies under him.

【Storm Game】The development of "Warcraft" is in full swing.

[Happy Game] is going all out to make "Bubble Hall".

Both of them seem to have no energy to make new games. If it's a small game, they can take out some people casually, or hand it over to other manufacturers for OEM, but... the game Tian Moyun is considering is not a small game.

In terms of cost, the combination of "The King of Fighters" and "New Street Fighter" is far inferior to that game.

"The development of "Bubble Hall" has ended, and it is currently undergoing internal testing to check for bugs. Do you want to try it first?"

Su Qiong said as if presenting a treasure.

"ended?"

Tian Moyun was a little surprised, then nodded: "Okay."

He really didn't pay attention to this matter. As a game designer, Tian Moyun only needs to think about the design ideas of the game. He doesn't need to do things like developing programs himself.

Moreover, Tian Moyun hasn't written code for a long time, if he really wants to go to battle in person, he may not be able to compare with the professionals in the development team.

In addition, he was busy with [Thunder Game Hall] and [Bright Pearl Project] during this time, so he didn't take care of this side, so he didn't know when "Bubble Hall" was completed.

……

Log in to the [Starry Sky OS] administrator account, then search for "BNB" in the [Software Store], and find "BNB: Closed Beta", click to download, and it will be installed automatically.

The closed beta of "Bubble Hall" was conducted in [Thunder Life Garden], and it was connected to the local area network of the Life Garden.

The biggest advantage is that before the official announcement of the game, there will be no leaks, which greatly reduces the players' sense of expectation.

The installation is successful, click to start running.

Soon enter the game loading screen.

"Bubble Hall" adopts a cartoon style, the colors are rich and bright, but not dazzling, mainly natural colors (grass green), the cartoon style is soft and cute, and the picture performance is very delicate and delicate.

Accompanied by the screen loading, there is a piece of very brisk, rhythmic pure music, which makes people's mood smoother and brighter.

The loading speed is very fast, the whole process is relatively smooth, and there are no stuttering or delays visible to the naked eye. From here, we can also see the level of strength of the development team.

After loading, enter the game screen.

Click to log in to the Star account and enter the game.

"Bubble Hall" has five game modes: stand-alone breakthrough, stand-alone endless, stand-alone plot, online matching, and online ranking.

Compared with the first edition of "Bubble Hall" in the previous life, the content is obviously much richer, and the overall workmanship is also very delicate.

After playing for about half an hour, Tian Moyun paused the game.

Seeing Su Qiong's expression begging for praise, he smiled: "It's pretty good, much better than I expected."

In the original design draft he gave to the other party, there was very little content about the plot, basically just a sentence:

"There is a village in a distant forest. The people living here are very kind. God gave them an ability (making magical water bubbles that can explode). The villagers use this ability to hunt and collect gems to maintain their livelihood; the children Playing with bubbles and dreaming of growing up to be a great hunter and miner."

"One day, a disaster struck the village. The pirates took away the gems and locked up the adults. Only the children who were hidden in the mine survived. The children were determined to use the magic water bubbles to defeat the pirates. , save the adults, and take back the gems."

This is the plot content of the design draft of "Bubble Hall".

On the basis of the original, Su Qiong made this story more full, and added a "stand-alone plot" mode, expanding the content of the game, which can be praised.

"Speed ​​up the internal testing and strive for the launch of Children's Day (6.1)."

Tian Moyun thought for a while: "At that time, we can take the opportunity to shout a slogan: a gift exclusively for young people, a source of childhood-like happiness, everything is in "Bubble Hall"."
