Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 624 The mysterious product that claims to change the world; Netizens expressed a sudden realization

Time passed quickly, and it was the end of December in a blink of an eye.

With the release boom of [Thunder 2] ending, Weibo seemed much calmer.

They are basically social news, national news, and news from the entertainment circle, and the most lively one is undoubtedly the entertainment circle.

As the end of the new year approaches, many things come together, such as new year albums, pre-heating of New Year films, and celebrity weddings. All in all, it is very lively.

For example, Tian Wenwen's TV series is actually planned to be released in the spring of next year, probably a few days after the Chinese New Year.

……

Tian Moyun didn't care about these things, he had one more important thing.

Weibo.

【Xingkong Technology Company】Suddenly and abruptly began to warm up a news, named "a mysterious product launch conference", with a picture attached.

On the picture, there is a rectangular black object with a palm underneath, and on the side, many patterns appear on both sides.

At the bottom is a line of big characters: The door to the new world is open for you.

Tian Moyun forwarded Weibo and commented:

"After years of research and waiting, our new product is finally coming to you."

"To put it bluntly, this product represents the great progress of [Leiting Group]'s scientific research and technology, and also represents the arrival of a new era."

"In order to create this product, we have invested nearly [-] billion. Its arrival will shock the world and change the way of life of all people in the world."

"In addition, the [Little Designer Project], which everyone is unanimously curious about, will also appear in front of everyone along with the release of this new product."

"I am waiting for everyone at the press conference. I will personally bring you this world-changing product. Let us look forward to it together."

……

Mysterious new product!
What is different from the past is that this time the press conference was warmed up, and no products were even announced, which made netizens very puzzled.

"I'll go! What the hell is it? Make it so mysterious?"

"To be honest, Boss Tian's tone is too loud, right? He wants to change the world right from the start?"

"Spend nearly [-] billion to create a product... If this is true, then this will be the most expensive research and development in the history of [Thunder Group]."

"The arrival of a new era will change the way of life of all people in the world... hiss."

"As we all know, Boss Tian never jokes about this kind of thing. Which one of his words before the press conference didn't come true?"

"That's why I'm even more curious. What kind of product is it that deserves Boss Tian's words?"

"Could it be the latest 64-bit computer? After all, 64-bit game consoles are out, and the computer with the same configuration will be soon, right?"

"I don't think it's possible... Even if it's a 64-bit computer, it's absolutely impossible for Boss Arita to exaggerate. It must be something else."

"Yeah, if it's really just a computer, that's a real disappointment."

"We can only wait for Boss Tian to reveal the secret himself. We don't have any chance to know in advance. It seems that we will not be able to sleep well in the past few days."

"The self-media editor laughed out loud at this moment, and in the next second: [Shocked! Tian Moyun said such a sentence, thinking carefully!]"

"Enough is enough for you upstairs."

"It is because of people like you that so many unnecessary prejudices and misunderstandings have been formed. When will we self-media editors stand up? We are shaking and cold."

"[Thunder Group]'s products have never disappointed people, whether it is innovation ability, technical strength, or workmanship quality, and I believe it will be the same this time."

"Boss Tian is talking about changing the way of life, I guess, it should be some kind of household appliances..."

Netizens are discussing.

Zhou Yunteng is actively warming up for the press conference. Under the deliberate operation, the news of the "mysterious product launch" quickly became a million-level popularity, and it is still rising rapidly, which is gratifying.

……

"This press conference, it seems, will not be simple."

The boss of an Internet company has a serious face: "Currently the most reliable guess on the Internet is a new household appliance, but I think this is impossible, you should pay attention to one thing, the organizer of the mysterious product launch is [Xingkong Technology Company], not [Meige Appliance Company] and [Little Squirrel Electric Company].”

"This also shows that new products must be related to the Internet."

"Tian Moyun exaggerated this press conference so much. If what he said is true, then... this press conference will definitely completely change the entire Internet industry."

"For us, this is a great opportunity. Once we grasp it, we will surely be able to soar into the sky, and it will not be a problem to expand the scale by ten times."

"But at the same time, it is also an unprecedented challenge. We are likely to completely become history because of this Internet turmoil..."

"This is a tough battle, and the arrival of the press conference is the first gunshot to start this tough battle...Everyone, take a good rest these two days, because in the next two days, you will probably be living in the company."

"Of course, I won't treat everyone badly. All remuneration and benefits will be re-calculated. I will work overtime with everyone, eat and sleep together. If I can fly to the sky, everyone will be the veteran of the company."

With that said, the boss took out the cash he had prepared in advance and distributed it to all the employees one by one.

A capitalist with a bit of human nature usually gives a little bit of sweetness to the employees before making a big deal for them, so that the employees will willingly work for the company.

Only those unscrupulous capitalists would feed their employees chicken soup every day, full of benevolence and morality, lying on their backs to suck blood and eat meat, and let the employees go through life and death for them...

……

There are not a few Internet bosses who think like this.

Some people disagree, thinking that this will not bring too many changes to the Internet industry. After all, the form of the Internet has been completely stabilized now, and it is basically difficult to make any room for change. Even if there is, it will not happen overnight. There is no need to take it too seriously.

But there are also people who are trying their best to inquire about the news and want to know what the new product is.

[Xingkong Technology Company] is currently the overlord of the Internet industry in the entire Great Xia Kingdom. At present, all Internet companies in the country seem to have to look at their faces to get a meal.

Therefore, any disturbance here will have an earthquake-like impact on the entire industry, which cannot be underestimated.

……

In addition to the Internet industry, there is a group of people who are also looking forward to this conference.

That is a group of game fans in the game circle. Since Tian Moyun released the news about the [Little Designer Project] some time ago, they have been looking forward to the follow-up content. They really want to know what Tian Moyun said, "Everyone can become a What exactly does "designer" mean?
Many players who love games more or less have the fantasy of making a game by themselves, although 99% of this fantasy cannot come true.

Making a game is different from writing a novel.

If you are a reader who likes to read, you may start to try to write by hand when you have the urge to create... This thing has a very low threshold and can be done easily, even easier than writing a diary in elementary school.

But playing games is different, there is inherently a high threshold.

Game design ideas, genre selection, plot design, numerical design, style design, music design, programming... are simply not something ordinary people can play.

The threshold of this thing can directly dissuade more than 999‰ players.

It is precisely because of this that most players may not think much about "making a game by themselves".

I still remember when I was a child, there was an advertisement for "I want to be an astronaut when I grow up".

That kind of unrealistic fantasy is something that children only have, and adults... never think about going to space. The way of spam, to get a trace of spiritual false satisfaction.

For most normal people, making a game is not much different than being an astronaut...

The concept "everyone can make their own game" was proposed by Tian Moyun, so many people are looking forward to it and can't wait to know more.

……

"In fact, this concept has been around for a long time. Boss Tian hinted it to all players a few years ago, but few people noticed it."

On Weibo, a well-known big V in the game industry published a paragraph in an astonishing language: "Do you still remember the original "Tank War"?"

"It's an 8-bit game. Looking at it from the current point of view, it can be said to be very crude. Maybe most players will not touch it, and many people have never even heard of this game. After all, the era of the Big Three The game industry in China is not developing very well.”

"Players who have played it should not forget that in "Tank Battle", in addition to the single-player mode and the double-player mode, there is also a custom map mode."

"In the custom map, we can design the style of the map arbitrarily, set the number and speed of enemies, and set the number of lives... For many players, that is a very interesting way to play."

"At that time, the custom mode of "Tank Battle" caused a sensation."

"But it's a pity that after the end of "Tank War", Boss Tian temporarily retired from the game circle, and the dark period of the era of the Big Three began."

"This precious innovative design has been completely dusted in the corner of history, and several similar products have been released later, but most of them are not tepid and failed to set off another boom."

"Looking at history from the current perspective, you will find that it is actually a prototype of making games by yourself."

"Not only "Tank War", but also the last masterpiece "Mario Maker", which was born on a 16-bit machine, can be regarded as an upgraded version of "Tank War"."

"If you haven't played the above two, it doesn't matter, because almost 99% of the players have come into contact with the game I'm going to talk about next."

"That's the famous one--"Counter-Strike"!"

""Counter-Strike" has custom maps and game mode designs, you haven't discovered this yet, have you?"

“From the original Tank Wars, to Mario Maker, to Counter-Strike, three games in a row with custom settings all hint at something.”

"[Little Designer Project] said that everyone is a designer. If I guessed correctly, it is the above-mentioned model."

"simply put--"

"The official provides a development engine with fool-like operation design, and then we can make games in this way, and package them as independent games, and even generate profits and get paid."

"Of course, I guess it will not be as simple as customizing the map, and there must be more open design methods that we can't guess."

"But... the basic guessing framework is here. Everyone can use their imagination to guess. It shouldn't be very difficult."

"That's all for the time being. For more news, let's pay attention to the upcoming press conference... By the way, I have already got the live ticket, so don't be too envious."

……

The Weibo dynamics of this big V in the game industry have won the approval of many people.

But at the same time, many netizens expressed a sudden realization.

"My God! "Counter-Strike" actually has this function??? I didn't even realize it."

"I played it once, but I didn't think it was interesting, so I didn't play again, because it was too troublesome. I carefully designed a map, which is not as easy to use as the official map. Why are you looking far away?"

"It's really boring, maybe it's because I don't have creative cells."

"It's been a few months since I bought "Counter-Strike", and I'm playing online mode every day. I don't even know about it."

"The main reason is that the official has never actively promoted it. Who would notice this... I play online with my friends every day."

"After reading the blogger's words, it seems that this is really the case when I think about it carefully. I'll just play around and see, maybe there are new discoveries."

"Upstairs said that the official has never publicized it... don't come out to discredit the official, okay? They have publicized it several times. Who are you to blame for pretending not to see?"

"My eyes have the ability to automatically filter junk information...Maybe I made a mistake in the detection."

"Let's go back and have a look, hoping to gain something. This is so frustratingly depressing. The treasure is right under our noses, but we didn't see it in a daze."

"I've played "Tank Wars". The most fun thing is the custom map mode, but the memory is too long. If the blogger doesn't say it, I will almost forget it."

"I played "Mario Maker", because it was a bit difficult to get started, and I bought a lot of other games at the time, so I forgot it... What a pity."

"Borrow a building to buy a copy of "Mario Maker". Now the official sale has stopped, and the second-hand market is too deep. Anyone who wants to buy an experience experience can accept the original price."

"I have a hunch that the blogger's post is likely to become popular..."

"Thanks to the blogger, for letting me know what is called black under the lights, let alone, I will go to experience the custom map mode of the masterpiece "Counter-Strike"."

Netizens quickly posted comments expressing their excitement.

The three games mentioned by the well-known big V in the game circle have been more or less exposed to them, but no one has ever thought about it from the perspective of "everyone is a designer", and subconsciously ignored it.

But now, after being reminded, they suddenly discovered that Boss Tian had already told them the "answer".

Fortunately, they still claimed to be Boss Tian's loyal fans, but they didn't even understand such a blunt hint, which was simply too low... Thinking of this, a trace of guilt flashed in the hearts of loyal players.

But soon, this guilt turned into a driving force for exploration. They quit Weibo one after another, opened "Counter-Strike", found the custom map mode, and started their own creative journey.

As some netizens said.

The post of this big V in the game circle quickly reached the top of the game channel's hot search list, and a full 10,000+ netizens clicked to view it and followed suit.

For a while, the Counter-Strike custom mode became very popular.

……

"What is this all about?"

Tian Moyun was speechless.

When did he say that [Little Designer Project] is a custom map in the game?
If it's really that simple, what else do you use to develop a dedicated engine?What else do you use to spend [-] million to operate the [mini game platform]?
Moreover--

How big is the market for custom maps in games?
In his previous life, he played the very 666 "Half-Life" in this field, and the most popular game derived from it was "Counter-Strike", but he directly made the perfect form of "Counter-Strike".

The reason for continuing to keep the "custom mode" is just to add some fun to the players, so that they can do it by themselves when they are bored.

In fact, this model in "Counter-Strike" no longer has much commercial value.

This is also the reason why Tian Moyun never operated the "custom mode", but the operation team of "Counter-Strike" directly ignored it and didn't even want to mention it.

And [mini game platform]?

According to Tian Moyun's vision, even if this [small game platform] is far inferior to online literature and online live broadcasts, the total market size can be at least several billion, right?
This is not a small amount, it can bring an income to tens of thousands of unemployed players, and it can also give many young people who want to run some side jobs while they are free, a chance to try "starting a business".

No matter how bad this thing is, it's not comparable to the "custom map" in the game.

certainly--

If you have to bring up the original version of "DOTA" to talk about something... then just pretend I didn't say it.

"Want to clarify?"

Su Qiong asked.

In the past two days, under Tian Moyun's "strong invitation", she also came into contact with this [Little Designer Project].

Although the development engine is very fool-like, and the operating space is very limited, after playing for two days, Su Qiong still likes this little idea.

At the same time, she also clearly realized that this [mini game platform] is really not comparable to the "custom map" in the game, and the two are not a concept at all.

The content covered by the former is extremely heterogeneous, and the variety is so rich that it is almost unheard of.

She even felt that the future value of this platform might be greater than what Tian Moyun said.

In other words... Tian Moyun, who created the [Mini Game Platform], may have lost sight of this project.

Netizens compared the "custom map" with the [mini game platform]. For the latter, it is an insult... The development team of the [mini game platform] wanted to cry.

"No need to clarify."

Tian Moyun smiled and shook his head: "Wait until the press conference to announce, and then release the public beta version for everyone to try. They will know that it is not the same thing after experiencing it. There is no need to explain now."
