We promised to develop a game called Candy Crush, what the hell is the Third Reich?

Chapter 78 [North Africa] [Pacific] [Asia]

After Zhao Ming finished his phone call with the official from "Anti-War Competition", he began to prepare the materials.

The official headline account of "Anti-War Competition" quickly released the news.

Following an initial selection process by the judging panel and players, we will be livestreaming an interview with Mr. Zhao Ming, creator of the currently popular game "World War II: Rise of Empires," at 12: PM tomorrow. Mr. Zhao will also share the complete world background of "Earth."

[PS: Regarding the origins of World War II, if you have any questions, please leave a message in the comment section.]

[@Polestar Games Zhao Ming, #WorldWar2:RiseofEmpire.]

Because of Shi Jun’s incident, all the discussions on the Internet are now about Polestar Games.

And now the sudden announcement from the official "Anti-War Competition" has pushed the popularity to a new level. Even some people who don't play games much feel that people around them are discussing that Polestar game.

I can't help but wonder what this game is like, and why it becomes a trending topic every few days?

Even those who don’t play games or pay attention to the show can’t avoid seeing this kind of hot search push.

And on the Polestar side.

Zhao Ming was directing his employees to clean up the conference room to be used as the room for tomorrow's interview.

Some high-tech ornaments and virtual projection equipment were placed to facilitate the explanation of the background of the "Earth". After a simple preparation, the room with a lot of high-tech feeling was almost set up.

At this time, the receptionist came over and said:

"Boss, Mr. Shen is here and waiting for you in the office."

Zhao Ming nodded:
"I see."

Then he adjusted the arrangement of the green plants and returned to the office.

Inside the office.

Shen Qinghan was sitting on the sofa when the door opened and Zhao Ming walked in.

"Senior."

Shen Qinghan hummed softly and said:

"The first batch of patents have been registered."

"35276."

After speaking, he operated his mobile phone and sent all the patent information to Zhao Ming. After sending it, Shen Qinghan asked curiously:
"How many patents do you plan to register?"

“Is this all the first batch?”

Zhao Ming received a message from Shen Qinghan on his phone. He clicked on it, read a few messages, nodded, and replied:
"Not sure, maybe hundreds of thousands? Millions? Tens of millions?"

"The Earth IP is very large, so there will be a lot of content in it. As long as it can be registered, I plan to register it. It will also facilitate the development of peripheral products in the future."

"Compared to games, developing everyday peripherals is more profitable."

Shen Qinghan had no objection, but agreed:

"Yes."

"Games alone are definitely not enough. We should also develop peripheral products related to the 'Earth' IP."

"So the first batch is food and drinks from various countries during World War II? What about badges and pendants?"

"Where's the foundry? Have you found it?"

Zhao Ming spread his hands and said:
“Not yet, so.”

His eyes turned to Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan saw Zhao Ming's gaze and understood what was going on. He couldn't help but give Zhao Ming a cold look.
"You don't want to move at all?"

"Just be a hands-off boss?"

Zhao Ming coughed lightly:
"Isn't it because you are a professional, Senior? You can just arrange it."

"I'll pick out a few samples later, like rum, wine, Empire bread, and cola. They'll all start as derivative products for 'Earth'. These are easier to produce. Later, I'll select some World War II emblems and other accessories to release as peripheral products."

"Please find someone to prepare the food for you, Senior Sister."

After saying that, Zhao Ming sent the mixing materials of these products to Shen Qinghan. There are many similar things on Blue Star, but these are linked to the game. As long as there are players, there will be no shortage of buyers.

Shen Qinghan looked at the products sent to him and found that they were not difficult.

However, looking at the time, Shen Qinghan did not stay for too long.

The two chatted about the content of tomorrow's interview, and then Shen Qinghan left to arrange for someone to prepare the drinks.

On Zhao Ming's side, he began to organize the information about "Earth".

Prepare to introduce it in tomorrow's interview.

The next day.

Tiansha Live, the official website of Polestar Games.

They all opened live broadcast rooms simultaneously.

However, the live broadcast room was pitch black and it was not yet 12 noon, but there were still a lot of barrages.

as time flows.

12 noon, Polestar Games Company.

In the conference room.

All the live broadcast equipment was ready. The host, Qiao Meng, wearing a black skirt, gestured towards the live broadcast equipment and started the live broadcast:

"Welcome everyone to the latest episode of 'Anti-War Competition'. I'm the host, Qiao Meng."

"Today we're interviewing Mr. Zhao Ming, the creator of the most popular game in the Great Xia Federation, 'World War II: Rise of an Empire.'"

The barrage scrolls in the live broadcast room.

[Hurry, hurry, hurry! Where's that old thief Zhao Ming?! Get the hell out of here! !]

[Get ready to take screenshots! A huge reward!]

[Every update is a word game, is riding a horse considered a vehicle?!]

[Is this time a badass?] [This bastard? ? ?]

The screen turned and Zhao Ming, who was wearing a mask, raised his hand and greeted with a smile:

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhao Ming."

Qiao Meng smiled and said:

"Mr. Zhao Ming's style is quite avant-garde."

“But why do we have to wear masks?”

Zhao Ming smiled and said:

"I don't even need to watch the comments in the live broadcast room to know this."

"It's just that 90 percent of people want to send me razor blades."

"How dare I show my face in this situation?"

Qiao Meng asked curiously:

"Isn't that still 10 percent?"

Zhao Ming said quietly:
"That 10% probably wants to hit me directly."

Qiao Meng also looked helpless and said to the live broadcast room:
"It seems there's no way to take Mr. Zhao Ming's mask off."

"I can't do anything to fulfill your wish."

Then Qiao Meng said seriously:
"Okay, let's get to the point."

"Our interview today will focus on the background of the 'Earth' you created, and the origins of the development of World War II in the story."

"These are questions that players are very curious about but don't understand."

"Could you please introduce yourself now?"

Zhao Ming nodded and said:
"no problem."

As he spoke, he picked up the remote control on the conference table and pressed it.

The virtual projection device immediately projected a flat map of the Earth onto the desktop:

"About this world map."

“I believe many players have already seen it in the immersive plot.”

"I'll explain this in detail. You can think of 'Earth' as ​​a parallel world to Blue Planet, or rather, as a parallel world created based on the background of Blue Planet."

"For example, there are six federations on Blue Star, and seven continents on Earth. There are five oceans on Blue Star, and four oceans on Earth."

"The land and ocean areas of Blue Planet account for 64% and 36% respectively, with land occupying the majority of the planet."

"On the other hand, the land and ocean areas of Earth account for 29% and 71% respectively, with the ocean occupying the majority of the planet."

"Because the ocean occupies most of the planet, and the land lacks the sustainable new energy materials that Blue Star can mine, and there are too many scattered countries, wars between countries for resources continue."

"The war stretched from Europe to Asia, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with 61 countries joining the war and 84 countries and regions and about 80% of the world's population involved."

The originally static world map lit up with every word Zhao Ming spoke, a scarlet area representing the place where the war took place. In the blink of an eye, the entire planet seemed to be dragged into the war.

There are very few places that have not been affected by the red color.

Then Zhao Ming raised his hand and tapped on the virtual map. All the red lights disappeared. Zhao Ming clicked on the European region again, and the entire European plate rose slightly, becoming more conspicuous.

"Players are currently mainly experiencing the 'European battlefield', which is the confrontation between the Empire and European countries and the Soviet Union."

“There will be more openings in the future, such as the North African battlefield.”

He clicked again on the North African territory, and the North African plate floated up.

"[Pacific Battlefield]."

The islands where key battles took place in the Pacific theater floated.

Then Zhao Ming moved his hand to the east:

"And the [Asian battlefield]."

With just a few clicks, you can clearly see the affected area, which covers most of the world.

Zhao Ming continued to explain:
“Because of the number of players, the focus is currently on the European battlefield.”

"But I believe many players have already experienced the powerlessness of ordinary people in the face of war on the European battlefield."

“That’s also the original intention of making this game.”

"After experiencing the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, the people will not be deceived by those fanatics who advocate war. They advocate war all day long, but they will not actually take up guns to resist the Union."

"Because they also know they will die, they are trying to incite the people to resist instead of doing it themselves."

Qiao Meng nodded and said:
"So this is the core of the game. Judging from the results, I can really appreciate Mr. Zhao Ming's good intentions."

"But this core alone obviously can't attract players. Do you have any other tricks?"

These were the lines we had agreed on before the interview, so Zhao Ming continued speaking:
"Of course, if this is the only core, it's obviously not attractive enough and won't retain players."

"So now the game has [Immersive Story] [Normandy Landing] battlefield, [Multiplayer Cooperative Mode] story, limited-time national war dungeons, etc., diversified gameplay to retain players."

“And the perspective of the experience is different.”

"For example, the Normandy Landings battlefield is about landing on the beach, the Battle of Britain allows players to fly planes in air combat, and the Polish Blitz opens up the vehicle system."

"Of course, the most important thing is that players can experience the feeling of fighting with a large army in [Blitzkrieg on Poland]."

"Subsequent battlefields such as the [North African battlefield] desert combat, the [European battlefield] airborne assault, the [Pacific battlefield] naval battles and air combat, the [Asian battlefield] jungle warfare, guerrilla warfare, and so on, provide players with a diverse range of battlefield experiences."

However, the comments in the live broadcast room were a riot, but the players' focus was slightly different.
[Open vehicle? How dare this guy say that?!]

If you hadn't unlocked that warhorse, why would I have been ordered by that idiot Shi Jun to ride a horse and charge a tank?! ! !

[This old thief, MD Zhao, definitely has bad intentions! Brothers, don't be fooled!]

[That's right, this guy's words are completely untrustworthy. Desert combat, airborne assaults, aren't they just going to make us targets?!]
