Something big happened at the booth
Hao Yun, who was wandering around the convention and exhibition center, was slightly stunned and quickly spoke to his mobile phone.
"Don't panic yet, I'll be right over."
Without saying a word, he immediately hurried towards his booth.
However, as he was almost there, the dark crowd blocked the road leading to his booth, making it impossible to squeeze in.
Looking dumbfounded at the scene in front of him, Hao Yun finally squeezed in two steps and was pushed back by the crowd, with a confused expression on his face.
Damn it
Where is my booth
This, was this buried
Suspecting that he had seen it wrong, Hao Yun stood on tiptoe and glanced at the poster in the center of the crowd.
The pixelated poster was clearly the one he modified using free materials.
At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang again.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Ruining's voice, so anxious that she almost cried, came from the other end of the phone.
"Boss, where are you? There are so many people here... me, me, me, what should I do?"
"I was pushed outside and couldn't get in. Please wait a moment while I make a call to the staff."
After hanging up the phone, Hao Yun was about to call the organizer, but before the number was dialed, the other party called directly.
"Hello? Are you Hao Yun?"
"It's me. There's something wrong with my booth. Can you send more people here... We have a few people here and we may not be able to cope with it." Hao Yun said a little guilty.
A wry smile came from the other end of the phone.
"There are not a lot of people there. You are all alone, okay... We have sent 20 security personnel to maintain order. Where are you now?"
Hao Yun said with an embarrassed look.
"The crowd is blocking us outside."
staff member:"… "
In fact, Hao Yun felt that it would be the same whether he came back or not. The entire booth was already blocked. Even if he squeezed in, it would only make the place more congested.
"Okay, let's discuss something. Is it convenient to open the trial version of your game for download? There are too many people in the front row of your booth, which has seriously affected the operations of other positions. The players' opinions are also very big... Although This is partly our fault, but we still recommend that you launch an official website, or provide a trial version for download on site.”
"Well, we don't have a trial version..." After listening to the staff, the expression on Hao Yun's face became even more embarrassed.
"What?" The staff member was stunned for a moment and asked in an anxious tone, "What the hell is there without a trial version? You just put the full version on the booth?"
"...Forget it," Hao Yun sighed, "It's too late to make a trial version now. I'll call my assistant later and ask her to download the electronic version directly."
Is this really good
Directly opening the electronic version for download will affect the sales of the game...
Take Dragon King as an example. Generally speaking, major game production companies participating in such exhibitions will first release a trial version for players to experience, and then wait until the exhibition is over to open online payment channels or activation code purchase channels to unlock all games. content.
If the electronic version is directly opened, it is difficult to say how many people will make up their votes in the end.
The staff hesitated slightly, but did not dissuade him.
After all, there are too many people in front of the Magic Tower booth. Just relying on the four computers in the booth, I don’t know how long it will take to digest all the players watching the excitement.
As for whether it will affect subsequent sales...
What does it have to do with him
On the other side, surrounded by the crowd, Zhou Ruining stood beside the booth at a loss, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
She had never dealt with this situation before and didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the staff on site were fairly reliable, so she didn't need to do anything special. Watching from the sidelines without causing any trouble was the best option.
She was not the only one who was at a loss, but also Zhang Xiang, who was standing next to the booth with a frightened look on his face.
About ten minutes ago, he was "friendly" asked out of his seat by "enthusiastic" fans, saying that he was too bad at playing and wanted to teach him a lesson.
Unfortunately, this lesson doesn't seem to be that easy.
There were at least 40 people gathered in front of the four computers. We discussed each other for a long time. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and no one cleared the level.
"Wori! It's so stuck again!"
"You're cheating! This is a bad game! Is there one missing key?"
"GTMD! Don't let me know who designed this game! If I catch him, I'll definitely give him a blast on the head!"
"I'll take care of his right cheek!"
"Please give me your front teeth!"
This game is poisonous!
And it’s simply the kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder!
A group of players were cursing and being tortured by this game. However, the poisonous thing about this thing is that you can beat it just a little bit, but if you miss it just a little bit, you have to start over.
I don’t know if it’s because the trial version is here, but this crappy game can’t even be saved.
Not only the players sitting in the chairs but also the players waiting behind, both of them were gnashing their teeth.
The princess is no longer important!
Not even the Demon King is important anymore!
Now they just want to pull out the producer and beat him up until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen!
Fortunately, so far they are still mostly talking about it...
Meanwhile, there is a seating area on the other side of the convention center.
Zhou Zhenyu, who was looking at the Dragon King's booth from a distance with a smile on his face, suddenly frowned slightly.
After about ten seconds, he suddenly let out a soft sigh and spoke.
"Why do I feel like there are two hundred people missing?"
The photographer sitting aside with his camera almost choked on his spit.
Can you count all this
This is too awesome!
Feeling that something was wrong, Zhou Zhenyu tilted his head slightly and whispered to the assistant standing beside him.
"Go around here and see what the other booths are like."
"Okay boss."
The assistant nodded and quickly walked out of the rest area.
Zhou Zhenyu waited quietly for a while, and then he got a little bored, so he took out his mobile phone and browsed the official website forum of Shanghai Game Show.
In the independent game section of the forum, "Dragon King" is basically the one that is discussed more frequently.
After all, they had been preparing for the announcement for a whole year. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, they even hired trolls to set the pace in the forum on the official website and guide the topic in a direction that would be beneficial to the "Sunbird" studio.
In addition to Dragon King, the most talked about game is Yunmeng Games’ “Cultivation Simulator”.
From a game designer's perspective, this is undoubtedly an alternative game.
The pictures are far from beautiful, and the plot is almost non-existent. No matter which angle he scores from, it is difficult for him to give a high score.
However, judging from the discussion among the players, it seems that they are quite interested in this alternative game
But Zhou Zhenyu is not worried.
There is a live broadcast tonight. They have invited the top technical masters in the gaming industry to prepare a live program focusing on the plot of the next three chapters of Dragon King.
The live broadcast will last from 8pm to 2am and will be watched by more than three million people.
After the live broadcast is over, with the hot searches they have purchased, the popularity of Dragon King will be directly pushed to the top.
It's just a golden keyboard, just something in the palm of your hand.
His real goal is to sell over 10 million in the first month, and as an independent game producer, with his "Dragon King", break the sales record in Xia Kingdom's single-player history!
At the same time, it also proved to the Rice Group what a wrong choice it was not to buy him out at that time!
At this moment, Zhou Zhenyu, who was browsing the forum, suddenly saw a strange post.
[Has anyone ever played Magic Tower? The boss on the 15th floor almost made me vomit!]
Posted 5 minutes ago.
However, in just 5 minutes, the number of posts reached the 100th floor.
[The original poster actually reached the 15th floor! Awesome!]
[Haha, what’s the use of reaching the 15th floor? When you reach the 16th floor, you will know that the cheating stuff is still waiting behind you.]
[This game is so damn toxic, I wasted two hours!]
[I found an Internet cafe near the convention and exhibition center... Brothers, wait for my good news. I will definitely make a guide before tonight!]
It’s a game I’ve never heard of at all…
Looking at the content of the post, Zhou Zhenyu couldn't help but have a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
What kind of game is it that can actually attract so many passerby players to discuss the content of the game intensely in posts
At this moment, his assistant trotted back from outside the rest area.
"Boss! I just walked around outside! Our players must have been diverted away from other booths!"
"Divided?" Zhou Zhenyu frowned, "Besides the immortal simulator, are there other popular games at this exhibition?"
impossible!
He scanned through all the participating works. Except for Yunmeng Games' "Immortal Cultivation Simulator" which looked worthy of a fight, there was obviously no one waiting to be played.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on the assistant's face, and he handed over the smartphone in his hand.
"This is a photo in front of their booth... I saw that many players queuing up here were attracted to their booth."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenyu quickly took the phone and enlarged the picture to take a look.
The moment he saw the two big characters on the poster, he froze.
Damn it
Is it actually the magic tower in that post he just browsed? !
"What kind of game is this?"
The assistant shook his head and said.
"There were too many people, so I didn't squeeze in, but I heard from the players who were queuing there that this game seemed to be an ordinary DRPG maze... Then I copied a copy from the players who had finished queuing, and here it is. In the USB flash drive.”
With that said, the assistant handed over the USB flash drive.
After taking the USB flash drive, Zhou Zhenyu quickly plugged it into the computer and decompressed the compressed package inside.
Soon, a pixel-style game screen appeared in front of him, and as he pressed the button to start the game, the entire first floor of the maze was displayed.
Looking at the work in front of him, Zhou Zhenyu almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
That's it
Can this crappy game divert players from its own booth
What's wrong with today's players' aesthetics? !
"Boss, I don't think you need to worry," the assistant standing aside whispered. "Although they have a lot of people queuing up, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this little game is not at the same level as ours."
The photographer on the side also nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, what are they comparing to us? They just made a relatively difficult mini-game, and 80% of them won't even make it to the finals."
Entering the finals requires judges' votes. It does not mean that if there are more people in line, you will get the chance to enter the finals.
This is to prevent some shoddy games from sneaking into the finals by buying a car, and also to prevent some spoofs from affecting the seriousness of the Golden Keyboard Competition.
After hearing the comfort from the two of them, Zhou Zhenyu felt a little relieved, and his stern face gradually returned to its previous arrogance.
Do you want to compete with his Dragon King just for this thing
Would you rather match it
But self-confidence is self-confidence, and he still dare not take it lightly. After all, even without the magic tower, there is still the suspected dark horse of the Immortal Cultivation Simulator.
Looking at his assistant, he warned in a deep voice.
"Be sure to pay close attention to tonight's live broadcast to make sure nothing goes wrong!"
The assistant nodded quickly, patted his chest and promised.
"Don't worry! I will definitely keep an eye on you the whole time and make sure there will be no problems!"
