Dinghai... magic needle?
Li Rushan tasted these four words with a confused look on his face, and his mind was a little confused for a while.
What have I done!
Although there was a feeling of emptiness and slight pain in his heart, he could only force a smile at this time: "This... is what I should do."
Everyone sighed: Mr. Li is so generous!
Lu Yixiao suddenly thought of something: "Huh? Our first week sales are about to come out, do we need to celebrate?
"It's working time now. It's not a good idea to go out to celebrate. I've already ordered takeout and bought a big cake. Let's celebrate with afternoon tea just like last time!"
Everyone cheered.
Soon, the cakes and afternoon tea were delivered, and everyone happily ate their cakes. The largest piece of cake was also delivered to Li Rushan.
Li Rushan looked at the scene in front of him and was speechless for a moment.
Why... does it look so familiar?
Oh, by the way, when the game was first released, it was relatively deserted, and I did it myself. Unexpectedly, everyone followed suit and copied it immediately.
It's just that Li Rushan's mood was completely different at this time. Looking at the large piece of cake in front of him, he said, "Eat it. I have no appetite. Don't eat it. I have failed everyone's good intentions again."
I could only forcefully stuff it into my mouth, tears silently flowing in my stomach.
It’s uncomfortable, it’s uncomfortable!
Li Rushan looked at Lu Zhixing with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Lu..."
Lu Zhixing smiled slightly: "Mr. Li, I think I've excited you so much."
Li Rushan said in confusion: "Mr. Lu, what did you say was the chance of success for this game?"
Lu Zhixing thought for a while: "Nine and a half percent?"
Li Rushan looked confused: "You figured this out from the beginning?"
Lu Zhixing smiled slightly: "That's not really true, there is a little bit of luck in it. But what do you mean, luck is also a part of strength!
"Mr. Li, I think this result is pretty good, isn't it?"
Li Rushan felt a pain in his heart. It was over. At this last moment, Wolong Lu, who had been standing by his side, also left him!
As for what is going on...
Li Rushan didn't think Lu Zhixing was 100% sure of making a lot of money from the beginning, and the 95% probability of success was just a casual statement to deceive people.
Otherwise, how can we explain that he came up with such an unreliable design? After that, he repeatedly thought about it and released it in advance to increase the difficulty of the game?
This all shows that Mr. Lu is indeed in the same boat with him at the beginning. He wants to spend 10 million, but Mr. Lu wants to help him spend 10 million, and then naturally earn a high annual salary, and burn money by the way. Investors use their money to make games they want to make but are not recognized by the market, and realize their dreams as a game producer.
It’s just that the plan can’t keep up with the changes.
All because of those 100 million bits of luck!
Due to the superposition of various accidental factors, a horror game with a niche theme and overwhelming frustration actually became popular!
So of course Mr. Lu was very happy at this time.
After all, according to the original plan, Mr. Lu would only earn a high annual salary after losing money. Now the company will earn tens of millions in revenue in the next few months.
Mr. Lu is making a lot of money now, okay? With both fame and fortune, it is definitely impossible to stick to the original intention like myself!
Thinking of this, Li Rushan felt extremely sad.
He calmed down a little and asked: "Mr. Lu, now that our investment agreement has been forcibly extended, I will have to invest 14 million in you next time... What are your... plans this time?"
Lu Zhixing coughed twice: "Of course I will try my best to cooperate with Mr. Li's ideas. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a surprising plan!"
Li Rushan was almost moved to tears: "Mr. Lu, you still understand me!"
In his opinion, Lu Zhixing has not forgotten his original intention because of the unexpected success of the game. He still wants to use his own money to make high-risk games, and he still wants to help himself burn money!
There is true love in the world!
Li Rushan felt a little better: "Okay, Mr. Lu, I'm waiting for your design plan for the next game. Please don't let me down!"
Lu Zhixing's expression was firm: "Yes, it's a deal!"
At this moment, Yao Wenyang shouted again in surprise: "Hey? Look, Lao Niu posted a video praising our game! Now it has become popular on the website! The number of views has exceeded 500,000 not long after it was posted. It seems like it’s possible to get five million or even tens of millions in a few days!”
Liu Bo: "Lao Niu? Oh? He didn't underestimate our game this time. So will his four-game losing streak finally come to an end?
"Okay, it seems that Lao Niu also understands the wise saying of 'join if you can't beat it'. The sea of suffering is boundless, but it's easy to turn back! Congratulations."
Yao Wenyang laughed out loud: "No, Lao Niu has lost five consecutive games."
Liu Bo was surprised: "Huh? He predicts that our game will fail again?"
Yao Wenyang laughed: "It's quite funny to say the least, it's really a great show.
"Because our game is a horror game, Lao Niu was afraid that his prediction would fail, so he told the audience that if they could pass our game, it would be considered a success.
"He successfully passed the game for a week, but the audience didn't buy it. Lao Niu continued to increase the pressure, saying that if he cleared the expert difficulty level in 30 hours, it would be counted as a second consecutive victory, and the audience agreed.
"result……
"He was so stubborn that he opened the second round of the expert difficulty random map. Good guy, he maxed out the difficulty immediately. After entering, he was knocked unconscious with a blow to the head.
"In the past few days, he has been broadcasting without sleep and food. As a result, he has reached half of the last big level in 30 hours. He is just over an hour short of the fastest ending.
"It turned into five consecutive defeats, and my mentality exploded!
"Then he posted this game review video. After all, he had been suffering for a week, so one video cannot be justified. Unexpectedly, the video went viral!"
Everyone couldn't help but marvel, Lao Niu can do it!
Under such circumstances, you can still manage to lose five games in a row? This is not something ordinary people can do.
"Okay, let's see how Lao Niu praises our game!"
Everyone went to their workstations and clicked on the video to view it.
…
"Moo?
"Hello, dear viewers, I am your hard-working old cow who updates thirty videos a month. I almost passed out in my living room on the expert difficulty of the random map for the second week of "Walking with Darkness".
“In short, the past is too painful to look back on, so let’s not mention it again.
"Today we will focus on analyzing how a hit horror game like "Walking with Darkness" is made!"
At this time, all kinds of barrages of "slapping the table and laughing wildly" and "2333" flooded the screen like crazy.
"Is it okay if you don't mention it again? Tell me how you opened the champagne at halftime and lost five games in a row? This is much more interesting than the game!"
"I feel like Lao Niu suffered a lot and continued his losing streak. He felt that it would be a big loss if he didn't publish a video, so he gritted his teeth and published this video."
"It makes sense! Let us be grateful for the gift of five consecutive defeats!"
Amidst the joyful and peaceful barrage, the content of the video continued.
"There is no doubt about the popularity of "Walking with Darkness". It has received rave reviews and its weekly sales have reached the top ten of the list. There is still room for improvement in the future. This is for a start-up company like 404 Studio that has never made a horror game. To me, it is simply an amazing miracle.
"So, as a horror game, why is this game successful? What is the connotation of its name and plot?
"Next, please give your thumbs up and vote to get on the bus. Let's study together the special features of "Walking with Darkness"!
“In my opinion, the popularity of this game comes from many very unique designs.
"For example, it creatively combines parkour and horror themes, cancels the death and archiving mechanisms, uses falling platforms to adjust the rhythm of the game, and subverts players' perceptions of day and night through the 'zombie glow' feature. At first glance, the cat gameplay was added as an adjustment in the middle and later stages of the game...
“These settings have turned it into a unique horror game. Not only is it different from the horror games on the market and has new ideas, but it also does not lose the core of the horror game because of its newness and has become a horror game. A special existence that makes people feel 'painful and happy' and can continue to play no matter how hard they break the defense.
“Let’s talk about the first point first, how it creates a new game rhythm by canceling the death and archiving mechanisms...”
The following content mainly introduces the game mechanics. Although these game mechanics are already familiar to those players who have seen the anchor suffer, or even suffered personally, many people still suddenly realized it through Lao Niu’s detailed analysis. , realized more details.
After all, many details of the gameplay can only be seen and not felt so deeply. Only people like Liu Liang who have suffered to the point of heartache can deeply understand it.
Immediately afterwards, in the second half of the video, Liu Liang began to analyze the name and plot details of "Walking with Darkness" in depth.
