Top game producer

At the game convention, the sleazy guy being interviewed by Little Rabbit was happily playing "Hero Battlefield."

He had bought "Hero Battlefield" as soon as it was released.

He was currently controlling the Flame Demon, chasing after five noobs on the opposing team and slaughtering them, easily winning the game.

"Aah, so satisfying!"

The sleazy guy quickly took a screenshot of his results. As his ladder points increased, the opponents weren't as easy to bully anymore; at least they wouldn't just stand there and let him kill them.

Afterward, he posted the screenshot on Weibo to show off: "'Hero Battlefield' is so much fun! The Flame Demon is too strong!"

Generally, posting on Weibo would immediately attract a bunch of angry players to flame him, and then he could flame back, deriving great pleasure from it.

However, this time, it seemed like no one was paying attention to him. Not a single reply came for a long while.

The sleazy guy felt very annoyed: "Where did all the people who flame me go?"

At this moment, he saw several topics like #LeagueOfLegendsTrailer and #Dragon渊FilmStudio hanging high on the trending list.

So everyone went to watch the "League of Legends" trailer. No wonder no one was around.

The sleazy guy sneered: "I'll go see what kind of trash this game can produce."

He clicked on the video.

The Monkey King.

Ryze.

Swain.

Cho'Gath.

The battle scenes were intense and dazzling, and each hero was full of charm.

The sleazy guy was stunned. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he really liked the Monkey King, especially Swain. The transformation scene was just too cool and domineering.

Looking at the "Hero Battlefield" still on the results screen, which he had been playing with great enthusiasm just now, he now felt bored and couldn't muster any interest in continuing to play.

What is this crap?

The Flame Demon's ultimate move, which he liked to play the most, was also a transformation, but the special effect was just the horns on his head and his skin turning red, with no other changes.

What about Swain?

The transformation was like a demon descending, with dark wings surrounded by nether energy, those scarlet pupils, and those crows symbolizing misfortune circling and flying.

One was heaven, and the other was earth.

"Damn it, what a trash game, scamming my money!"

The sleazy guy cursed and uninstalled "Hero Battlefield" directly, then went to the official website of "League of Legends" to search for a download.

At the same time, many players in China who used to praise "Hero Battlefield" also saw this promotional video.

Some, like the sleazy guy, directly deleted the game, preparing to switch camps.

Some, although their hearts wavered, thinking that "League of Legends" was superior, were still stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, finding all sorts of reasons to slander it.

"Hehe, what can a game trailer represent? Can it represent the true quality of the game?"

"Putting so much effort into filming an unimportant, exquisite CG, I seriously doubt how much energy is left to make the game."

"These days, there are too many games with beautiful CG but terrible quality!"

"And what Dragon渊 Film Studio, it's obviously a sign of not doing their job properly. You can even praise this, aren't you ashamed?"

"Anyway, after you play the game, you'll know that 'League of Legends' can't compare to 'Hero Battlefield' at all."

"How can domestic games compare to foreign ones? It's obviously impossible. Those who expect 'League of Legends' to perform well should just go to sleep early."

Many of Dragon渊's previous games were released overseas, and they naturally had an account on TT.

However, compared to China, this account was the kind of serious official account that didn't interact with netizens, only occasionally posting some news about game localization, so it only had tens of thousands of followers.

But after the "League of Legends" promotional video was released, foreign netizens were also forwarding it like crazy, and the number of fans soared!

"Holy moly! Unbelievable, this is just a game trailer!!"

"I know that monkey! He's called the Monkey King, a hero from Chinese mythology with a very glorious history! To give you a similar analogy, what he did was like someone breaking into the White House and beating up the president!"

"Wow, that's so cool! He did what I've always wanted to do!"

"The bug is fierce, and the raven is even cooler!"

"The music is so lit! I want to know the name of this BGM?"

Because the theme song of the trailer, "RISE," was an English song, domestic players couldn't understand the lyrics, only feeling that the screams of the climax hit every beat of the battle, very strong and powerful, while foreign players who could understand the meaning of the lyrics were even more excited and trembling.

"I've decided to use it as my fitness theme song! Listening to this song while exercising, every punch will be stronger!"

"Pick up the weapon without regret, defend the dream in your heart, fear no challenges, face difficulties, climb to the peak, this is the true hero! I hope I can become a hero too!"

"What's the name of the game, 'League of Legends'? I don't think I can miss this game! Hey, brothers, anyone want to play together?"

"Obviously, it's the same type of game as 'Hero Battlefield,' but it looks even better! I'm planning to switch games!"

"After watching the video, I really feel that 'Hero Battlefield' is completely crushed by 'League of Legends'!"

"'Hero Battlefield' is a nightmare! Crap! Extremely unfriendly to newbies. I uninstalled it directly after being killed more than a dozen times by the other side."

"I just went to their official website and saw that 'League of Legends' is a free game! I feel sorry for you for buying 'Hero Battlefield'!"

"Holy crap, really? I'm going to download it now!"

At the same time, Steven was in the sales department, watching the game's sales data continue to rise, with a reserved smile on his face, his thoughts already immersed in fantasy.

"Hero Battlefield" was about to be a great success, and a promotion and salary increase this year were guaranteed.

An employee suddenly interrupted his fantasy, stammering, "Manager Steven..."

Steven frowned, dissatisfied, "What is it? Just say what you have to say."

"'League of Legends' just released a promotional video, it's very popular, it's been forwarded more than 100,000 times, I think you should take a look."

Steven faintly felt something was wrong, took out his phone and searched, and easily found it.

The expression on his face first became serious, then his eyes widened in shock, and finally turned gloomy, a series of changes that were quite wonderful.

West was in a meeting with the team discussing the next task when Steven suddenly broke into the meeting room and announced the meeting was over.

Before West could ask the reason, Steven said bluntly, "Look at this!"

After watching the video, West's face also turned ugly.

As a game producer, he could see more things in it—such as the design of the heroes.

The unique heroes in the promotional video were like towering, unattainable peaks.

Crushing.

"League of Legends" crushed "Hero Battlefield," which he was in charge of, in terms of hero design, whether it was the art image or the gameplay design.

Taking the Monkey King's skills as an example, somersault cloud perfectly combined with the mythological image, the clone made his gameplay full of imagination, and Havoc in Heaven was even more impressive and awe-inspiring.

If he had heard Wang Jian's hero design class for his subordinates, he would know that this was the "core experience" of a hero.

And the hero is the core of a MOBA game.

West looked at it again with a depressed expression.

The Monkey King laughed arrogantly, the golden cudgel pierced through the stone man, and a stick slammed down.

The stone man fell to the ground and turned into a pile of rubble, and West also felt a stuffiness in his chest, as if he had been hit by a stick through the screen.

Steven lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, his face expressionless as if a relative had died, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"League of Legends" was about to launch tomorrow, could the sales of "Hero Battlefield" continue smoothly?
