In the hot publicity atmosphere!
The progress of the project is also advancing rapidly!
Moreover, thanks to China Entertainment Television's support and promotion of the "To the Moon" project, the "Escape" project has been hidden deeper.
Almost everyone’s attention is focused on this charity week event.
Gu Sheng was very satisfied with this situation.
Because the deeper an escape item is hidden, the safer it is.
Waiting until the project is almost done and then launching a wave of announcements can not only concentrate efforts to launch a wave of explosions, but also catch Comella off guard, making it too late for them to stop it.
The dump trucks that suddenly appear are the good dump trucks.
Ever since!
During this period of time, Golden Wind’s main strategy has been to cooperate with China Entertainment Television to specifically publicize this charity week event.
Today I revealed that the art style of the game will return to pixel style.
It will be revealed tomorrow that the game will be a story-based role-playing game.
It will be revealed the day after tomorrow that this game will invite a mysterious guest to perform the ending song.
News is released one after another, and each one can arouse heated discussions among players!
After all, when the golden wind came into the players' horizons, Gu Sheng won the title of supernova because of the pixel style game!
It is not even an exaggeration to say that "Vampire Survivor" plays a major role in bringing the pixel style back to life!
The "plot-oriented role-playing" game type has also attracted the attention of many players!
after all!
In the eyes of most people, pixel style is not suitable for plots.
Because its picture expression is so poor, it is very detrimental to the expression of emotions.
but!
This is the game of Golden Wind!
This is the game company that once defeated millions of players with just "trust me".
Their control of the game plot can be said to be top-notch in the industry.
Therefore, even if it is a pixel style, players are still looking forward to it, wanting to see what form this golden style will take to bring everyone a brand new experience.
Except this time!
"Mysterious guest performs the ending song" is also very eye-catching!
Ending song!
This is a form that has never appeared in the game.
Generally speaking, it is very rare for a game to have a theme song or soundtrack that runs throughout!
And Golden Wind actually had a separate "ending song" for a pixel-style game!
This is unheard of and unseen in the gaming industry!
And amidst the anticipation, the progress of the project is also advancing rapidly!
Every day when she went to work, Shen Miaomiao would lock herself in the office and communicate with various outsourcing departments, watching this project that she had worked on gradually grow, improve, and become fuller.
As for when she returns home after work, Gu Sheng will help her sort out related issues.
Whether it's while eating, beside the sofa, or in the studio.
Whenever there was a chance, Shen Miaomiao would take out the small notebook she carried with her and chase Gu Sheng to ask this and that.
And every time after solving a problem, Shen Miaomiao would not only record the solution to the problem in a small book, but also take a photo of the two of them with the Polaroid given to her by Gu Sheng, euphemistically calling it " Work must leave traces”…
…
In a blink of an eye!
Time flew by.
February has arrived.
Despite the harsh winter, China Entertainment Electronics’ wild announcements have made the gaming industry ablaze.
Players are even more excited about the upcoming charity week!
Relevant media have also begun to follow up the reports, constantly sorting out and releasing information about the upcoming charity week discounts and promotions!
Such as Fury's "Fiery Racing Charity Pack", Guangyao's "Exciting Gunfire Charity Pack", Zhen Ting's 'Classic Works Collection Charity Pack', etc...
certainly!
Except these!
The one that attracts the most attention is naturally the new "charity work" that Golden Wind will release soon!
Although!
The investment in this game is not large, it is just a small pixel-style game, and the investment is only about 500,000 (not counting Shen Miaomiao's face fruit assistance).
But don't forget!
China Entertainment Technology has allocated 5 million publicity funds for its operation!
Backed by official media, ten times the publicity and financial support!
Not to mention pixel games, even if Golden Wind takes out Cat Leo 2, it will still attract the attention of the market and players!
In a blink of an eye, Charity Week is online!
Eight o'clock in the evening!
shark!
Ayin Game Live Room.
"Good morning, good morning..."
After greeting a classic good morning no matter what time period, A Yin looked at the barrage:
"What's being broadcast today? Haha, why bother asking if it's being broadcast today? Is it being broadcast today? Look at what I got?"
With that said, Ayin shook the wireless elite controller in his hand in front of the camera.
The barrage was filled with whispers——
'Good guy, the boss is here well prepared today'
'I see that the entire game area is almost occupied by charity week activities'
'Charity week is nothing, the main thing is that Xiao Huang's new game is too powerful'
'Speed up! Can't wait any longer! '
"Boss, this elite controller is too messy. Isn't it that the plot is more like a game? Why don't you use an elite controller?"
'Who knows what the old thief defines as "plot-oriented"? After all, Titanfall is still plot-oriented. Have you never been beaten up by Brother Viper? '
'You have nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape...'
'Ah, ah, stop talking, stop talking, I was going to be beaten up and vomited by Brother Viper'
'Hahahaha maybe this time the plot will be added based on the vampire survivors'
'Boss, this wave can be considered a rainy day.'
'...'
With the barrage of discussion!
Ayin also opened the official platform of Yiyou.
Click.
When the platform unfolds, a big [Charity Week Event] pop-up window pops up!
Click on the pop-up window to enter the event page.
Take a look at the dazzling array of bundles from the top ten participating manufacturers!
And at the top of these bundles, in the most prominent position on the page, is a game cover!
A bright moon hangs above the vast galaxy, and the warm light emitted from the lighthouse on the right side of the picture outlines two embracing shadows.
On the left side of the screen, there is a line of cursive characters for the game name——
"To the moon?"
A Yin raised his eyebrows slightly:
"It seems like there's really no such thing as fighting monsters. It seems like it's just... a game about making love?"
Although the two figures in the lighthouse are blurry, they can still be identified as a man and a woman embracing.
Galgame (beautiful girl love game)?
But using a pixel art style to make a galgame would be too abstract, right?
After all, the essence of the beautiful girl love game is the 'beautiful girl'.
With a bunch of mosaics, who can tell whether the girl is beautiful or not?
A Yin was confused, the audience had never seen such a strange game.
With doubts, Ayin clicked to buy.
The price of the game is very reasonable, only 15 yuan, the same price as the previous Vampire Survivor.
And its size is also very small. After all, it is a small pixel-style game, only a few hundred megabytes.
In the blink of an eye!
The game download is complete.
"Here we go, let's see what kind of game this is..."
As he spoke, Ayin clicked on the game.
As the screen went black, a melodious piano sound slowly sounded.
The tune is soothing, and although there are only two main tones alternating, it magically makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.
It seems to be natural, as clear and pure as a stream, flowing slowly.
hiss--
Ayin took a slight breath.
As a professional game anchor, he has played too many games.
It can be said that most game theme songs are not memorable.
Moreover, almost no games are willing to use piano accompaniment.
Because in everyone's common impression, video games should be passionate, surging, and electronic adrenaline.
Obviously, piano accompaniment does not meet such requirements, so most games with theme songs basically use electronic music or heavy metal soundtracks.
But going to the moon is different!
Although the game hasn't started yet.
But the background music on the home page alone can catch people's ears and make them feel calm.
Ever since.
A Yin, who was originally full of desire to fight, also slowly relaxed, found a comfortable position and leaned on the gaming chair, with one foot on the chair, and the hand holding the controller dropped down and rested on his thigh:
"This game feels like it's suitable for quiet play. Let's go in and have a look."
Click [Start Game].
With the soft and quiet piano sound, the game screen gradually lights up, as if the prologue has begun——
The sea is vast and there are seagulls accompanying the sky.
On the shore, a lighthouse watches the vast sea, watching the alternation of day and night, the passing of spring and autumn, and the rising and falling of the tide.
As the screen gradually moves downwards.
A huge single-family villa stands on the mountain, surrounded by flowers, looking peaceful and restrained.
In the living room of the villa, two children were sitting in front of the piano.
One of the children is playing.
This is where the piano score comes from.
However, just when everyone was still immersed in the sound of the piano.
Bang!
Suddenly, a crash was heard outside the villa.
The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the two children turned to look in the direction of the sound.
"Hey... don't make trouble..."
A Yin subconsciously kicked the ground, sat on the gaming chair and rolled back half a step:
"You can't be a horror game, can you?"
Seeing this, the audience burst into laughter——
'Ever since my boss started playing PT, everything looks like a horror game'
'It has left a psychological shadow'
'Whoever looks at this big villa is not afraid'
'Shit! I didn't even think about that at first! When you do this, I think of Lisa's sad face again...'
'The boss is probably afraid of being fooled by ghost pictures'
'Don't worry, old thieves don't bother to scare people in such a low-level way'
'It sounded like a crash'
'...'
indeed.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain, beside the road.
A black car was leaning against a tree. The front hood was slightly raised, and wisps of green smoke were coming out.
"Damn, it's such a wide road that you can hit a tree, what's your skill?"
A Yin was happy when he saw it:
"You wouldn't be like this even if you asked Liuliu to drive it. You must have drunk too much. Who drove it..."
However!
Before he could finish his words.
The car door opened, and two little pixel figures in white coats who looked like researchers jumped out of the car, one man and one woman.
The lady's name is [Dr. Rosa Lean]. She is standing next to the scrapped car with a helpless and complaining tone:
"Neil, where do you look every time you drive?"
Face the cross-examination!
A Yin was dumbfounded.
Because he found out that the male researcher was under his control!
“Oh——Drawing brother, I’m driving, right???”
In an instant, the barrage burst into laughter!
'I was grinning like crazy just now'
'Why do you have the nerve to mock Liuliu with your awesome driving skills? '
'Don't let the monkey touch the car! '
'"Drink too much, you"'
'...'
Ayin scratched his head, feeling funny and helpless, and pressed the handle to answer the female doctor's question:
"Oh... I'm sorry, but I was just trying to heroically avoid the squirrel that suddenly appeared on the road!"
The female doctor looked back at the squirrel that had been run over beyond recognition:
"...Well done. Although you didn't avoid the squirrel, thinking on the bright side, our car didn't run away, right?"
puff--
A Yin didn't hold back.
It’s so damn shameful, it’s so yin and yang, it’s like a yin and yang phrase that a great onmyoji like the old thief could devise.
After some conversation, Ayin learned that Dr. Neal and the female Dr. Rosa Lean he played were from the same company.
The main business of their company is 'memory travel agent'.
To put it bluntly, it is deep dreaming.
Through professional instruments, they can enter the inner world of the seeker's mind, and help them fulfill their wishes by reasonably modifying and implanting the memory of the seeker.
Currently, this technology is mostly used on endangered patients.
The biggest role is to help these people fulfill their long-cherished wishes before dying, so that the patients can smile happily during their happy ending.
And today!
They received a request for help from the owner of the villa on the top of the mountain and came to help him fulfill his wish.
'It's actually a science fiction theme, which is kind of interesting'
"To put it bluntly, I am a dream come truer. This profession is quite interesting."
'Old thieves can always come up with something fancy'
'Let's go up the mountain and meet the customers first'
'The customers should be the pair of shadows in the lighthouse'
'The high probability is that I just don't know what my wish is'
'There is always a premonition of sadness'
'ah? Can't? The old thief wants to use the knife again? '
'Who knows...'
Talking time!
A Yin also carried a heavy machine and came to the door of the villa on the top of the mountain with the female doctor one after another.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
Knock on the door.
After a while, the door opened.
A woman in an apron opened the door and gestured to come in.
And as A Yin moved the heavy equipment into the house, the screen slowly dimmed——
【Chapter One】
["I never told anyone, but... I always thought they were lighthouses"]
"It's really helpful for you to come here so quickly. I'm Lily, the nanny here,"
The lady in the apron named Lily seemed very happy to see A Yin and A Yin. She said and touched the heads of the two children playing the piano:
"These two are my children."
"So our client is...your employer?"
Ayin asked.
"Yes, John is my employer," Lily nodded: "He is receiving treatment upstairs now. You two, please come with me."
A Yin and the female doctor looked at each other and walked up to the second floor carrying the box.
When they saw the adults going upstairs, the two children chased and jumped to the piano.
The soft and soothing piano sound sounded again.
In the bedroom on the second floor, they met their client, Old John.
Old John is in his sixties and almost seventy this year. He is old and frail. He is lying on the bed with a heart rate monitor next to him and looks very bad.
"How...is he doing?"
A Yin was setting up the instruments while listening to the female doctor asking the doctor about the situation.
The heart rate monitor beeps, like a countdown to life.
The doctor shook his head: "The situation is very bad. It will take a day or two at most."
"There's enough time,"
The female doctor then turned to Lily and asked:
"Then what is his wish?"
Since Old John was already dying at this time and was barely holding on to medical equipment, the request could only be relayed by nanny Lily.
Lily was silent for a moment:...
Then he said: "The moon."
"What?" The female doctor didn't understand: "What moon?"
"He wants to..." Lily said, "He wants to go to the moon."
[The old man is really getting crazier now, isn’t he? 】
In the game, Dr. Neil, played by Ayin, complains.
In reality, A Yin didn’t hold back either:
"No? Huh? Isn't this a love story? Why does this old man still want to be an astronaut???"
