Chapter 474(1/2)
472. It's finally over
After the PV of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" came out, the entire game circle was shocked.
This game is indeed very special because it is different from any game in Chinese history. This is the first time that such action puzzle-solving games have been made by Chinese game manufacturers.
Going further, the Legend of Sword and Fairy series may be considered as puzzle-solving elements, but no game can achieve such high-quality and extremely smooth 3D action games.
So it was also considered a brave attempt by Bomi.
In a [Game Insider Discussion Research Group], everyone discussed "Ghost Blows Out the Light" in full swing.
It also includes a new game planner called [Don't pull the barbs casually].
Although it is called a game insider discussion research group, the people in this group are relatively simple and basically do not verify information for each group member. They rely entirely on their own consciousness. You can pass the verification by just saying which company you are doing what kind of game.
And no one is asking whether the information you are saying is true.
Anyway, everyone will not do anything illegal in the group. It’s just about talking about the game industry, the game, and the exchange of some pictures.
So [don't pull the barbs casually] can easily get in.
"I have to admire Bomi Company. These people are really brave." said an old game planner who has been in the industry for 5 years.
"That's Bomi Company, where do other companies dare to play like this? I've watched the promotional video of the game Ghost Blowing Light. The quality requirements are super high, and the development cost is definitely not low. If other companies do it, they will really lose money if they are not careful. Who dares to take risks?"
"Yes, Bomi has so many promotional channels, it's like a super buff, multiplied by 10, and other companies can't even imagine it, especially for small companies like us. If a game with a scale of over 100 million is invested in and has not recovered, it will bid farewell to the gaming circle from now on."
"Anyway, we don't dare to play this way, and this type of game does have certain risks."
"It's hard to say how well domestic audiences accept, but it will definitely be a big hit abroad."
"Yes, to be honest, games like Ghost Blowing Lights or Tomb Raider are really unknown in the domestic market. Even if Bomi is developed, I can't figure out what the result will be."
The judgment given by industry insiders actually has certain reasons and basis.
The main reason is that many domestic players have been baptized. With the development of the game industry, most games are relatively simple and rarely make essays on exploration and puzzle solving.
Many young players are not willing to spend time and effort to study and discover the fun of puzzle solving in the game. Tomb Raider is not selling well in China to illustrate the problem.
Nowadays, games are increasingly tending to be fast food, and it is best not to use your brain.
After all, everyone hopes to get happiness in the game. Life is already very painful, so why do you still have to do questions and solve puzzles in the game? It is really abusive and waste time.
Even World of Warcraft, which was popular in the past two years, has now begun to make the boss simpler and more brainless, just to take care of more players and to prevent players from being so tired when playing games.
How to make players spend less time and have greater fun has become the top priority for domestic game companies to study. Therefore, after a game like Ghost Blows Out, it is still a question mark whether it can gain the favor of domestic players.
But foreigners seem to be quite interested in puzzle solving and exploration.
To be precise, players in the Ome region prefer exploration and action-type games, so games like Tomb Raider are a big hit in the Ome region.
From a social perspective, it is mainly because these people live too well and enjoy high benefits, do not have to work overtime, and have money and leisure, so they can spend their time on this type of game.
Cao Yang frowned and found that none of the group was optimistic about them.
There are actually people who are so sad that they think that Bomi's games can only achieve success by relying on strong publicity channels and capital power.
Strength!
Is it that difficult to admit our strength?
Cao Yang curled his lips and spoke in the group.
[Don't pull the barbs casually]: "But it may not be necessary. I think the Ghost Blows Out the Light itself, and the book is still well-known in China. Some fans will buy it. Moreover, the game will definitely be very core. The number of sales it can be found depends on how many core users there are in this part of the company."
[6 years of game planning Laogou]: "Although Ghost Blows Out the Light is very famous, it is only limited to novels. This theme is really niche. There are many horror elements in it. Generally, games with too many horror elements are difficult to have a wide range of users."
[Don't pull the barbs casually]: "Who said that, have you forgotten the Resident Evil series? There is also Silent Hill."
[6 years of game planning old dog]: "Well... you made a lot of sense, it's me who is shallow."
Cao Yang was very happy to kill one successfully.
[Don't pull the barbs casually]: "So, it depends on the hard power of the game itself."
[I like Big White Rabbit the most]: "Now I can only see promotional videos. Only then can the game come out to know that it may make money or lose money. It's not good. However, as the first online action puzzle game adapted from China, I still hope it will succeed. At least we will have a new theme and new direction that we can do in the future, right?"
Every time I follow Bomi Company to pick up someone who has already proved it successfully. Although it is a bit embarrassing and unwilling to accept it, this is indeed the way for domestic game companies to survive.
Or the most efficient way to make money.
money.
It is the only criterion for game manufacturers to establish projects. Although many producers have a heart of courage to create, the boss does not have the courage to do so.
Oh, except for Bomi's boss.
Because Bomi Company's foundation is really strong.
Money, money, you know money.
Cao Yang said that the situation of these people is too small.
How can we only define the goal in terms of whether to make money?
[Don't pull the barbs casually]: "Don't you think that if you succeed in doing the ghost blow-out, your greatest contribution is not to make money, but to be able to export Chinese culture to the whole world?
Although this game is a tomb robbery theme, it is said that Bomi Company also specially consulted the experts of the Palace Museum and invited many professionals to serve as consultants in order to make the archaeological knowledge inside accurate enough to tell the Chinese culture from all aspects of history, humanities, geography...
Even if it is not very popular in China, if you eat well abroad, it is a great thing that is of great merit to be rewarded if you can provide a popular education for people who don’t understand China.”
After Cao Yang made these remarks, the entire chat group fell into a dead silence.
This forced him to wonder if he was a topic terminator or if time had stopped.
Cao Yang raised his head in confusion and found that the little secretary sitting at the door was typing quickly, so he felt a little relieved.
Otherwise, he would have thought he would have traveled through time again.
After about 5 minutes, there was finally some reaction in the group.
[6-year game planning old dog]: "Tsk tsk, this brother is really thinking too much. I guess Boss Bomi didn't think of this level."
【My favorite White Rabbit】: "Hahaha, all newcomers are like this, they are more ideal, and it will be different if you work for a few more years."
[Da Sami of the Imperial Capital]: "This new guy is very cute. I think his statement is very PR. If you submit your resume to Boss Bomi, maybe Boss Cao is really willing to accept you."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
...
Cao Yang silently turned off the group conversation in a little depressed manner.
At this moment, a sound came from the headphones.
He looked at the QQ avatar flashing in the lower right corner of the screen, and seemed to be a cute beauty.
Cao Yang opened the window in confusion and found that it was a netizen named [Silly Boss' Little Feather] from the [Game Insider Discussion Research Group].
[Silly Boss' Little Feather]: "Brother hi, you said it well just now."
Cao Yang was stunned for a moment, and tears were almost falling from his eyes.
I bought it!!!
Finally, there is someone who knows how to appreciate me.
But you didn’t support me in the group just now. Now, what do you mean to praise me alone?
Cao Yang moved his neck, then his wrist, and replied with a smile, "Where is where, I just say my true thoughts.ヽ(▽)ノ"
【Silly Boss’ Little Feather】: "To be honest, do you want to work at Bomi Company? I can recommend it for you."
Cao Yang:???
What is this situation?
There is another undercover agent in our company?!
【Don’t pull the barbs casually】: “Really? Can you recommend it for me?”
[Silly Boss' Little Feather]: "Yeah. I'll tell you a secret. Don't tell others. Actually, I work at Bomi Company. I really think your idea is quite similar to my boss. Maybe you can get a deal.
It is not necessarily possible to be admitted. I just recommend it with a helping hand and find talents for our company."
【Don’t pull the barbs casually】: “Which studio is from you?”
Just as Cao Yang asked this, the little secretary opposite him suddenly trembled all over and over again, then raised his head and took a sneaky look.
"Zhuang Yurou!"
Cao Yang caught someone right away.
He stood up and walked towards the little secretary.
Before Zhuang Yurou could close the computer, Cao Yang hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't move."
When I walked over, I saw that there was a row of QQ chat windows on this guy’s desktop.
One of them is obviously the one who has a conversation with [Don't pull the barbs casually].
"It's you!"
"Boss, why are you wasting your time fishing here and enforcing the law?" Zhuang Yurou asked a little angry and pitiful.
