As Shen Yu estimated, "Blue-2120" was put on sale at midnight on December 15th. At noon the next day, there was another small peak of downloads, and there was another small peak in the evening. But after ten o'clock that night, the growth rate became very slow.
At this time, the sales volume in the 24 hours had reached 5,200 copies, almost all of which were purchased and downloaded by fans who came specially from Bizhan to support.
There are 180,000 fans on Bizhan who pay attention to Chen Yuluoyan's daily life. In fact, it is beyond Chen Yu and Li Xiang's expectations that so many people actually come here to support. After all, this group of fans always say, "Next time, I will definitely do it." ’, but turned around and forgot about it.
The purchase and download of more than 5,000 people is the basis of the game. If you want to sell more than 10,000 copies in the future, you must ferment and gain reputation from these 5,000 people. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to exceed the sales of 10,000 copies. hard.
Unlike ordinary love games, players cannot CTRL all the way through the plot. After downloading "Blue-2120", I was first attracted by its exquisite illustrations, so I began to patiently follow the plot and start following Arya. Interaction.
As we chatted, we got into the mood without realizing it...
On December 16, a player who was the first to have an in-depth trial made a long comment. The general content was that this game seems to have no end. He has been stuck in the interaction with Arya for seven or eight hours, and has been living his daily life. , there was no plot progress, but he specifically expressed his affirmation of the AI program, saying that it was almost the same as interacting with a real person. Sometimes after chatting for a long time, even he thought Aaliya was real, so that he kept talking to Aaliya. Ya Interactive forgot to push the plot.
One after another, many players also expressed their agreement. Everyone's dissatisfaction with the game is the same: too few CG resources! How can there be so few such exquisite paintings! What about the sound? Where's Arya's voice? I don’t know how to advance the plot!
On December 17, a player finally advanced from the daily interaction of living with Aaliya to the next main line. He sadly and angrily published a long comment of thousands of words, the general content of which was: Give back my Aaliya. Ya! Labor and management are crying! There is a knife in the ending! !
At the same time, a large number of in-depth trial reviews began to appear, many of which were long reviews of more than 100 words. From this, it can be seen that players have unknowingly been immersed in Arya's world. Among them are Ninety percent of the players who reached the ending, without exception, were stabbed severely, watching Arya's core being shattered by high-energy bullets, and dying in his arms. but…
There are also a very small number of players who reached another ending during their interaction with Arya: Lance protected Arya, escaped the search of the federal army, lived happily together from then on, and even released two People's wedding photos were posted in the comment area, which attracted a lot of players who had been stabbed to ask in the comments how they did it and how to go about this plot line.
The two days of the 16th and 17th were the two days with the lowest purchase and download volume of "Blue-2120". Even because of the ending, many players changed their ratings and gave negative reviews, until one after another people came to another ending line. After that, the discussion about the game finally exploded.
Players gathered in the game comment area, Bizhan Shen Yu Luoyan's daily comment area, game review blogger's comment area, etc., and discussed enthusiastically how to reach another ending line with Arya, avoid being knifed, and get married happily. .
The popularity of the game suddenly increased. After all, there are only a few players who can avoid being killed. This stimulates the players' competitive psychology. After playing the game in depth, they will always have some feelings for Arya. Who wants to be killed? And those players who took wedding photos with Arya proudly showed off their wives and threatened to have eight children.
Starting from the 18th, the download volume of the game began to increase significantly. After two days of sluggishness on the 16th and 17th, the download volume exceeded 10,000 on the 18th. Judging from the increase, it is estimated that tomorrow It can still be maintained for two days.
…
As a well-known game reviewer, Yamawa is also a senior otaku. His daily job is to live-stream and review various newly released games. He recommends the fun ones and complains about the rubbish ones.
Unlike some big up owners, he is usually more willing to review some relatively niche games. Firstly, the fan stickiness is higher, and secondly, it is more fresh.
Starting from the 18th, during the live broadcast, you can often see fans recommending him to play a newly launched love game called "Blue-2120" in the comments, and more and more fans are commenting. Shanlun realized that this might be a new hot spot, so he immediately spent 19.9 yuan to download and prepare to try it out.
Simply looking at the game information, whether it is a domestic or independent game, the preview screen is quite beautiful.
"I have played many domestic love games, but most of them are not good. This type of game has a low threshold and is suitable for start-up groups to practice. Let me take a look at the introduction... Cohabitation? Is it a butcher? The story line seems to be very simple... "
[Stop beeping and play with the wheel! I want to see you cry!]
"Crying? The end of the knife? Then it will be cold. Who is playing with the knife now..."
[Trash players will be punished. I have already obtained the certificate with my wife Arya]
"There are two lines?"
Yamawa looked at the gameplay. Basically, the plot is advanced through the interaction with Alya. This is very different from the usual love games with fixed scripts and lines. The gameplay is also very novel.
"If the interaction is too mechanical, it won't be fun to play. Is this a gimmick by the development team? Who makes a text adventure game with AI?"
[Play quickly, play quickly!]
At the urging of fans in the live broadcast room, Yamawa ordered a cup of milk tea. The game had been downloaded and installed, and he clicked to enter the game.
The initial operation process is not much different from that of ordinary love games. It briefly describes the background of the world and the information about 'me'. However, Arya does not introduce much, making it quite mysterious.
Soon, the game entered the plot, and a beautiful vertical painting appeared on the computer screen: a dying girl lying in the weeds. She had the same long hair and fair skin as a human, and her clothes were in tatters. .
"This should be the heroine."
The first time he saw this standing painting, Yamawa was attracted by the style of painting. He observed it quietly for a while, looking at this soft girl, he couldn't help but feel protective in his heart.
I subconsciously pressed the shortcut key to jump to the next one, but I couldn't jump to it, and no lines arranged by the characters popped up.
[interactive! You have to interact with her! Be bold and do what you want to do!]
After seeing the barrage reminder, Yamalun typed and asked: "Who are you?"
The girl opened her eyes, and the entire painting moved here. The art resources were quite small, but the big blue eyes were painted really beautifully...
"You... who are you?"
Her dialog box popped up on the screen, and she actually asked Yamalun in return.
[Haha, it’s different from what I did back then]
[When I came up, I said I would take you home to sleep, but she said get lost]
Watching the barrage, Yamawa also became interested, but he didn't expect that it really wasn't a fixed line! Different players interact differently!
"My name is Lance. I live in the town. I'm very kind."
"Lance..."
"You haven't told me your name yet."
"My name is Arya..."
"Come home with me and be my wife."
Since it was an evaluation, Yamawa naturally wanted to have some fun, just to see how smart this so-called AI was.
"No! Don't, don't come near me!"
Yamawa was stunned. Taking her home must be the next step in the plot, but he couldn't jump into this plot. He couldn't just keep chatting like this, right
[Throw coins! You have to step into the role!]
[Trick her to go home first]
[She will not leave if she is kidnapped by force!]
The barrage reminded Yamawa again. After recalling the character information and world background introduction before the story began, he started to play the game seriously.
"Where did you come from? Why were you so seriously injured?"
"My... hometown suffered a war... I wandered here to escape..."
"You are injured now. My family lives in the town. It is very safe. Come back with me and I can take care of you. I am a good person."
"I can't trust you..."
"It's very dangerous here. If you stay here, you will be discovered soon. Why don't you go back with me?"
After much effort, Shan Lun finally tricked Arya into her home.
Soon, the scene changed from outdoors to home.
The pace of the game is very slow, and Yamalun must try his best to assume the role of Lance in order to guide the development of the plot bit by bit.
Sometimes he gets impatient and directly talks to Arya about sleeping together or asking her to take off her clothes, which will arouse Arya's resentment and make her angry. The plot will reach a deadlock and he needs to coax her again to gain favor.
"This game is interesting! The developers must have built in parameters such as compatibility or heart rate, but we can't see it. I confessed my love eight times and was rejected every time!"
"This AI is too smart. It allows me to speak and interact freely. Isn't there a real person hiding behind it?"
Unlike Xiao Meng No. 1, Aaliyah's character parameters are completely set based on the script. Coupled with super intelligent interaction, she really looks like a girl living in the future time and space. .
[What are you talking about? I once made Arya so angry that she ran away from home]
Shanlun was immersed in the game unknowingly. He felt as if he had really become Lance and began to concentrate on living together with Arya.
Chatting with her, eating together, shopping together, watching the stars on the rooftop together, he would also tell her some of his real-life concerns, and Alya would listen to and comfort him like a gentle girl.
Although there are not many scenes in the game, occasionally when a new scene is triggered during chat and interaction, Yamalun feels extremely excited.
When the show started airing the next day, fans were eagerly following Yamawa's progress in picking up Arya.
[How's the wheel? Have you got it?]
[Fuck, that’s okay, I just played, and she has never spoken to me so gently before!]
Shanlun seemed to have forgotten that he was playing this game to clear the level. He was indulged in the daily interaction with Arya, and felt that his empty soul was nourished a lot.
"What a game, brothers! You can buy a wife for nineteen and nine dollars, so you can make a lot of money!!"
[Confession, confession!]
Under the cheers of fans, Yamawa picked a good opportunity and confessed to Alya: "Alya, let's get married and live together like this."
"Well... I love you, Lance."
Finally, this confession was no longer rejected! Shanlun jumped up from the chair excitedly. This feeling was like first love, so exciting.
On the barrage, fans also sent blessings and small gifts.
This virtual love actually gave Shan Lun a feeling of belonging!
Then, the scene finally entered the next stage from trivial daily life. An extremely beautiful vertical painting appeared on the screen, with Lance and Arya kissing together.
[screenshot! wheel! You have your new desktop wallpaper!]
Shanlun took the screenshot without hesitation and immediately changed the desktop of his computer to this wallpaper.
"Brothers! I have a wife! I will give you a thousand yuan red envelope to congratulate you!"
It was originally a happy event, but fans in the live broadcast room were always posting funny, dog-head, and kitchen knife expressions. Yamawa didn't know why and continued to interact with Arya.
"Lance, I have a secret that I have been hiding from you. I'm sorry..."
When Aaliya said these words, the live broadcast room immediately became excited.
[Don’t answer! Don't answer! Don't answer!]
[Danger!]
[I'm coming]
[What is supposed to come will come sooner or later]
[wheel! Have tissues ready!]
[Cry, it’s not shameful]
"What are you doing..."
Shanlun was confused. Didn't Arya have a secret that she wanted to tell him? In fact, he already knew it. Although the plot and character introductions were not mentioned, these bastards kept spoiling the story. Everyone knew about Arya. She is a mechanical girl.
[Wheel, listen to my brother’s advice, don’t listen to this secret!]
[I got a knife after hearing this!]
[As long as you don’t listen, you will have a chance to receive a wedding photo!]
[Danger!]
[Danger! ! +999]
The barrage was popping up. Ever since Yamalun started live streaming, the amount of barrage was never as high as it is today. Later, almost all of them were [danger]
So much so that he was scared...
Shanlun was really scared. Although Arya was only a second-dimensional wife, as a member of the otaku, he had already established feelings for her.
Other people’s two-dimensional wives are just pictures, but my two-dimensional wives can actually interact with each other!
"Haha... brothers, don't scare me..."
[Wheel, don’t seek death!]
[Danger!]
After thinking for a long time, Shan Lun finally replied to Alya: "Don't say sorry to me, I don't care about anything, and you don't have to tell me anything."
"But if I don't tell you, I always feel that I owe you. I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Damn it, the developer actually popped up a picture of Arya crying bitterly at this moment. Seeing her crying so sadly, Yamawa's heart softened.
"Will you feel better if you tell me?"
"I don't know what to do, but I can't keep hiding it from you, I'm sorry..."
Arya confesses.
[Finished]
[You have lost the wheel]
[You are so soft-hearted]
Looking at the barrage, Yamawa felt a little regretful. When he wanted to save it, it was already too late.
The game pops up the current world situation, and the federal army begins to search for artificial intelligence hiding in the human world.
"Fuck me!"
Shanlun became nervous and immediately said to Arya: "I will take you to escape, and we will hide in a place no one knows!"
[Exactly the same as the script]
[There are thousands of roads, the wheel has rolled to the sharpest one]
[Get tissues ready]
The game has reached this point and is irreversible.
[Give up the wheel]
[The more you struggle, the louder you cry when you lose]
"I really don't believe it! I haven't received my wedding photo yet!"
After Shanlun struggled for three hours, he still couldn't save the outcome. The bullets from the federal army shattered Arya's core, and she died in Lance's arms.
"Lance...I love you...like a human being...love you...forever..."
Looking at the last vertical painting on the screen: Lance is holding Arya, whose functions are gradually disappearing. She reaches out and caresses Lance's face. Her big blue eyes are full of reluctance...
Shanlun cried loudly...
"Fuck... my wife is gone! It hurts so much!"
