Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

Wang Ze looked at these familiar IDs and fell into silence for a long time.

After a long while, he asked, "Didn't you guys agree that you would never play Night City? Are you worthy of the name of the Holy War Vanguard?"

"How dare you talk about us?! Didn't you buy it too?!"

"Since you are already the eldest brother, stop laughing at the second brother."

Wang Ze's face turned red and he coughed twice: "Ahem... I'm here to check whether the old thief An has learned well! If he dares to use the knife again, I will definitely raise the banner of holy war again!"

However, his companions did not give him the face at all and spoke impatiently.

"Okay, okay, we all know it, Lucy's dog."

Chapter 203: Looking back on my life, the wisest decision.

"I would like to make a solemn statement: I have never watched Edgewalker. I don't understand your obsession with fictional stories."

"I think we should distinguish between reality and fiction. We should live in reality, think about practical things every day, and enrich our lives, instead of staring at paper figures every day."

"You have to pursue your own happiness and never be blinded by virtual things. My life is very fulfilling. Next Sunday is Lucy and David's wedding on the moon. I heard that Mann and the others are coming. Although Rebecca was furious, she finally accepted the invitation. Of course, I want to go and show my support."

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now. I've downloaded Night City... I'm going to burn this damn world to ashes!"

Tang Baibai's eyes were shining with excitement, and he was completely different from himself who looked like a crying cat thirty minutes ago.

And these words are a true portrayal of the vast majority of players whose psychological defenses were broken by "Edgewalker" and who were attracted to Night City.

Their brains told them that they could no longer indulge the old thief An and let him do whatever he wanted, and they must resist him severely!

But the hands didn't listen to them!

Even the moment I bought Night City, my brain was conquered.

After all, the cyber world depicted in "Edgewalker" is so attractive, and its own brilliance cannot be ignored.

Although the deaths of Rebecca and David in the finale shocked countless players, if you calm down and think about it carefully, you will find that it is not abrupt at all.

The foreshadowing had already been laid out step by step in the previous plots. Even before "Edge Walker" was aired, Mihoyo's Weibo had already spoiled the ending.

It's just that the players didn't notice.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is no reason to attack that old thief An.

What did that sentence say?

For a successful work, once the author has created the world view and characters, the direction of the story is no longer determined by the author.

In the cyberpunk world, the lives of the little guys don’t count. Even the protagonists keep dying one after another.

In the play, this constant feeling of oppression, this frustration of trying everything but being unable to turn the situation around, are transformed into motivation for the players at this moment.

David can’t do it…what about us?

The launch of the game "Night City" gives players an opportunity, an opportunity to change this fucked up world.

Because of this, players are cutting games at light speed while eagerly adding "Night City" to their game library.

In less than an hour, Night City's reputation reversed across the board and purchases continued to rise.

……

……

And in Penguin Games.

Wu Zhiqun, who witnessed the whole process, slowly opened his mouth, and the smile on his face had not yet faded.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"In half an hour, more than 100,000 people entered the warehouse. Is this your boycott? Can you still eat the shit that An Yi feeds you like this? Where is the enthusiasm just now?"

Originally, Wu Zhiqun was quite happy to see that Mihoyo had messed up this time and players across the Internet spontaneously boycotted "Night City".

In this case, if "Night City", as a flagship masterpiece, dies suddenly, the Youmi Cloud platform will definitely be implicated.

By then, Penguin Games will seize the opportunity to add insult to injury, and it will be difficult for Mihoyo to make a comeback!

The thought of it will not only allow us to take back the lost platform market, but also allow Penguin Games to maintain its number one position in the country for a long time in the future.

Wu Zhiqun couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Wu Zhiqun has a clear vision for the future.

but……

Wu Zhiqun never expected that these extremely tough players would choose to forgive at the speed of light in less than an hour.

He felt ashamed for these players!

Where is the promised holy war?

You guys are all big liars!

But Wu Zhiqun also knew that now that the reputation of "Night City" had reversed, the matter was done and there was no point in saying anything.

In fact, Wu Zhiqun feels a little fortunate now.

Fortunately, the players forgave early, and Penguin Games did not rush to take action this time, otherwise Penguin Games would have been slapped in the face again.

But at this moment, the Minister of the Propaganda Department pushed the door open and walked in, with an excited expression on his face, looking like a boy who was seeking credit.

"Boss Wu, I seized the opportunity!"

When Wu Zhiqun saw the Minister of Propaganda come in, his heart skipped a beat.

Newborn! What did you catch?!

The propaganda minister's face was red, and he looked very proud. "Boss Wu, Mihoyo has messed up this time! I took the opportunity to add insult to injury. Now the whole network is boycotting Mihoyo's new game. But Boss Wu, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying this to take credit. As a veteran of Penguin, this is what I should do... Boss Wu, why do you look so unhappy?"

Wu Zhiqun took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "You look ugly? I look ugly? You still have the nerve to ask me why I look ugly?!"

As he spoke, he roughly turned the computer screen on the table and pointed it at the Minister of Propaganda who was still in the dark.

Looking at the terrifying sales of "Night City" which continued to rise, the Minister of Propaganda showed the same surprised expression as Wu Zhiqun.

This Mi Huyou can also make a comeback, is this fucking crazy?

However, after all, he was in charge of publicity, and he was a quick talker, so he quickly came up with a plan.

"Mr. Wu, Mihoyo's promotional strategy this time actually has a big problem. They definitely don't have enough stamina. Even though they are making a lot of noise now, their reputation will definitely collapse in a few days."

"Mr. Wu, think about it, what is the point of Edgewalker's success? Isn't it because they created an excellent world view? The wonderful point is entirely based on the cyberpunk world view. Without the blessing of the world view, their plot would be just so-so."

Wu Zhiqun thought for a moment and nodded, "Go on."

When the Minister of Propaganda saw Wu Zhiqun nod, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke more fluently.

“The worldview of Edgewalker is shaped for players step by step as the plot develops. The process of showing new prosthetics and new enemies will make players excited.”

"But Night City is a game that uses the same worldview as Edgewalker. There's nothing new about it. Players don't have any expectations, so they'll get bored after a few days."

"So Mihoyo used a TV series as a promotional video for Night City. It seemed promising, but in fact, it has completely overdrawn the potential of Night City!"

"..."

After listening to the Propaganda Minister's words, Wu Zhiqun fell into deep thought.

It seems to make sense.

But the game has already been sold!

Moreover, Mihoyou's consistent performance has frightened Wu Zhiqun. He always feels that the young man named An Yi has a backup plan.

After much thought, Wu Zhiqun made what could be considered the most wise decision in his long career: "Wait and see, don't do anything."

Chapter 204: Night City, only play with reality!

at the same time.

Tang Baibai, who has opened "Cyberpunk: Night City" for a long time, has not officially started the game plot.

She is still in the face-shaping interface of the game.

This character face-shaping system with a very high degree of freedom has an inexplicable attraction to Tang Baibai.

"Finally it's done! Let's go! Let's avenge David!"

Another five minutes passed.

Looking at the female character on the screen who looked like Lucy, Tang Baibai nodded with satisfaction, clenched his fists excitedly, and entered the game.

When the commentators saw this scene, they couldn't help but admire Tang Baibai's face-pinching skills.

"This sense of immersion came all of a sudden!"

"Okay, okay, I want to watch Lucy charge up to Arasaka Tower and hammer out all the remaining brains from Adam's heavy hammer!"

"Chop, slice, chop! Adam's Hammer, I can kill you 1000 times, and it won't be enough!"

Tang Baibai randomly selected a few barrage interactions and then focused his attention on the game.

After a background introduction cutscene is played, the game has entered the initial interface.

Then there are three origins that players can choose from.

Can I still choose my origin?

Tang Baibai was stunned for a moment.

"Badlands scavengers, street gangs, corporate employees..."

Tang Baibai looked through the introductions of these origins one by one, but the introductions were very brief, and he could only tell that there were differences between the three options. But he couldn't figure out what the differences were.

"Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Let's first choose the company we come from..."

The silhouette of the person on the company origin option gradually solidified, and the border slowly expanded, filling the entire screen.

Cool cutscenes seamlessly connect the game UI and interior scenes.

When the picture stopped changing, Tang Baibai had already woken up in a sci-fi room from his perspective.

The task guide also popped up.

As for the task name, it is very straightforward. [Company Dog]

Tang Baibai looked at the mission title and grumbled, "Ah? I've made it to the top of the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department, how come I'm still a dog..."

However, complaints are complaints.

Tang Baibai quickly got into the state.

I controlled the character to go to Jenkins' office and learned about my next task.

To help Jenkins deal with another senior executive of the company.

The following plot is very Night City-like.

When there is infighting among the top leaders, ordinary people suffer.

Tang Baibai gloriously took the blame, and his short life as a corporate dog came to an end.

Then, there is a cutscene, the plan is leaked, and Jenkins' enemies come to kill him.

The other party first deprived the protagonist of his identity as an employee of the company and took away everything the protagonist had. Finally, he wanted to use the protagonist's head to exchange for more reward money.

Fortunately, Jack next to him was a true brother and stopped the Arasaka people.

Seeing this plot, Tang Baibai couldn't help but think of the introduction of [Company Employees].

[Company employee: Not many people can leave the corporate world alive, and even fewer can keep their conscience intact. You have experienced it, you are flexible, you use other people's secrets to profit, and intelligence is your weapon. There is no such thing as fair competition, only winners and losers. ]

After the Arasaka people left, the conversation between Jack and the protagonist vividly displayed the darkness of Night City.

But Jack's cheerful personality diluted this depressing feeling, neutralizing it just right.

"Hiss, it's worthy of being called Night City, only reality plays out here!"

Tang Baibai sighed and she began to understand this world a little.

Then, there is another short plot, which uses movie-like editing techniques to tell the story of V and Jack forming a team to complete the commission after leaving Arasaka.

After the plot, Tang Baibai completed the operation teaching for novices.

Entered my first commission.
