Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

There is no Riddler in the entire promotional CG. The overall story development and the introduction of narration explain the story background of the entire game very specifically.

Let players know at a glance what the game is about.

Although the Gothic and dark style makes the CG images a little dim and some details are blurred and unclear, it fits perfectly with the game itself.

"Seven Nights" is a horizontal pixel-style 2D game, and the overall story is based on darkness, related to dark elements such as the abyss and corruption. It can be said that it complements each other when presented with CG in this style.

Moreover, this further highlights the importance of the white-haired loli, the only remaining light in this desperate world.

Finished watching the promotional video.

Old E took two deep breaths, suppressed his restless soul, and opened the installed trial DEMO without saying a word.

The process of playing the trial level is not long, and the whole process takes only about 10 minutes, but it shows the core gameplay of "Seven Nights".

Based on the operation mode of the traditional 2D horizontal version of the game, it includes operations such as moving, jumping, double jumping, attacking, dodging, etc.

It’s a bit difficult, but the operation is so smooth that Lao E can’t stop.

Moreover, the little Loli's various actions are very cute, which brightens up this game with a somewhat dark background story.

In addition, there is the Soul-Calling Bell skill which is the finishing touch.

When using the Soul Calling Bell, the little girl will start praying, calling upon the holy soul residing in the bell. The soul has various powerful skills. For example, the Guardian Knight that appears in the promotional video is the first soul that is good at physical attacks.

Moreover, Lao E also discovered that there are many blank summoning slots in the Soul Calling Bell. Apparently, in the official version of the game, more souls will be unlocked in the bell, making the game more interesting.

After playing the entire demo, Old E, who was still unsatisfied, seemed to be bewitched by some mysterious force. When he woke up, he had already completed a series of operations such as clicking on the pre-sale page, picking up the mobile phone, scanning the code to pay, etc.

At this point, Lao E also knows why so many people are pre-ordering "Seven Nights". This game is really fun!

After recovering from the shock, he couldn't help but sigh, "This game is good in every way, but why is it still on pre-sale? It's just deliberately keeping people on suspense! Just serve it up as soon as it's ready!"

Lao E’s words also aroused complaints from netizens.

"Indeed! I can't bear it anymore. I want to pray now!"

"Which prayer are you talking about?"

“If we arrest and execute every one of these people on the pre-sale list of Seven Nights, it might be a little unfair. But if we execute nine out of ten, there will definitely be some who slip through the net!”

"Hey, don't tarnish my innocence for no reason! This is a serious game! I just like the beauty of holiness, what's wrong with that?!"

"..."

Looking at the large number of comments saying “I must start praying immediately!”, Old E couldn’t help but worry about the health of these young people.

After exiting the details page of "Seven Nights", Lao E was still a little unsatisfied, so he flipped through the page of the Greenlight Program to see if there were any other games that were about to be launched.

This time, though, he didn't find the new game that was about to be launched, but he did find another promotional video.

Chapter 222 I will make your dream come true with my own hands.

"Silver Wolf's Favor, this plan also has a promotional video, let's join in the fun."

With a little curiosity, Lao E clicked on the promotional video of the Greenlight Project on the game details page.

The promotional video begins in a small study room that has a very old-fashioned feel.

A little boy in a shirt and shorts was watching with curiosity a professional installer busying around at a desk.

In just a short while, the installer left, and a large-head monitor from an ancient era appeared on the desk.

From his father, he learned that the name of this new object in the study was "computer".

Then, the camera turned and the calendar on the table turned a few pages silently.

On this day, the little boy was at home on holiday. While his parents were not at home, he tiptoed to the study and carefully turned on the computer.

The monitor showed a picture of an old game that was very popular in that era. He spread out a game magazine that was slightly curled on the side and played the game seriously according to the guide on it.

After a while, hearing the familiar footsteps coming from the corridor, the little boy quickly turned off the computer, left the study, went to the living room, took out his books, and acted as if he had studied seriously for a day.

However, his father came to the study and touched the monitor which was still warm, then the camera went black and the little boy suffered the first beating in his life.

The camera turns again, and the little boy is wearing a primary school uniform. During the ten-minute break between classes, he and his childhood sweetheart excitedly talk about the games they played during the holidays.

The little girl's eyes were also shining, and she seemed very interested in the game world he described.

"But I didn't get to the end because my dad came back and rewarded me with my favorite fried pork with bamboo shoots... However, if I were to design the ending of the game, I would be better than that author!", the little boy said, rubbing his butt with a grin.

"Pfft... Here, this is for you. Even though it's not as good as a computer, it also contains some fun games." The little girl laughed, then turned around, took out a handheld game console from her schoolbag and put it into the little boy's hand.

"Ah, you are so nice to me! This is very expensive!" The little boy happily took the handheld game console and rubbed it against his face like a treasure. Then he paused and asked hesitantly, "So... you don't want to play anymore?"

"I've played all the games in it. It would be nice if there were new games, but the new games are getting less and less fun," the little girl said, holding down the boy's hand as he tried to return the game console. Then she said in a slightly sad tone, "I'll give this to you. And... Xiaoyi, I'm going to transfer to another school next week."

The little boy didn't say anything, but just tightly gripped the handheld game console in his hand and made an important decision in his heart.

"There will be some fun new games..."

"..."

The scene changed and the camera switched again, and the time came to many years later.

The elementary school students have become adults.

The sharp-eyed Old E recognized him instantly. The actor was An Yi, the founder of Mihoyo.

However, in the video, An Yi’s condition was not very good.

Late at night, in a cramped and closed rental house, he was facing the computer screen, carefully adjusting the attack movements of a game character.

The messy room and the piles of instant noodle boxes all reveal his current poverty, but his eyes still sparkle with ideals.

However, the next day, a rapid knock on the door woke him up from his dream.

The door opened and closed again, and An Yi had a reminder for the water and electricity bill in his hand. He looked at the bill in his hand and remained silent.

After a long time, he returned to the computer desk, opened the drawer, opened one of the locked boxes, and took out the old game console.

He tried to press the power button and listened to the 16-bit electronic sound effects coming from the handheld game console. An Yi looked a little dazed.

But soon, he put the handheld game console back into the box and locked the box.

Finally, An Yi took a reluctant look at the game character on the computer screen that he had been debugging all night, then sealed it, opened Word, and modified his resume.

The camera changes again.

An Yi was already sitting in a standard cubicle. The lights in the company were bright, unlike the dim and closed rental house before.

But there was no more gleam in his eyes. He just mechanically processed one document after another, pile after pile, as if there would never be enough time to finish.

Today, he is neatly dressed, has a neat hairstyle, and his life is on the right track in the eyes of everyone.

However, when the night was deep and everyone was asleep, he would still think of the little girl who gave him the game console, and the promise he made to himself when he was young, but in the end it all turned into a sigh.

It was another morning. An Yi hastily put on his suit and tie and was about to go out to work.

However, on this seemingly ordinary day, his door was knocked again, and the person standing outside was the grown-up Silver Wolf. She handed over an envelope with gold-plated fonts, the Mihoyo logo printed on it, and the four big words "Light of Favor" were written on it.

"I'm back. Your new home is so hard to find. Now, let me ask you, are you still going to play the game you promised me?"

"Do!"

The light of hope finally bloomed in An Yi's eyes again.

……

The promotional video ends here.

Old E couldn't calm down for a long time.

Although this promotional video does not introduce the Greenlight program in detail, it has fully expressed its soul.

As for the subsequent plot, Old E can also imagine it in his mind. An Yi received help from the Greenlight program and can continue to fulfill his dream, making his ideal game complete and bringing an excellent game to the domestic game market.

Although Lao E is just a game player and not a game producer, he can also get this point.

Moreover, the production of this promotional video is full of details, with many points full of memories of the times, such as the big-head display, the brick wall with slogans in the school, and the soundtrack with a sense of age, which directly evokes old E's childhood memories.

Especially the game magazine that was turned to the curled edge and appeared in the promotional video, which made Lao E exclaim that it was exactly himself.

When he was a child, he didn’t have much time to play games, but he would buy a game magazine from the newsstand near the school and read it over and over again.

Even if I have no chance to play the games mentioned above, I still enjoy watching them.

Old E is still reminiscing about the past, those years that were not so glorious but still worth remembering.

At the same time, the barrage area of ​​his live broadcast room has exploded.

Many touched game players and Mihoyo’s ten-year-old fans were all blown away.

"The first thing my parents did when they got home was to touch the monitor to see if it was hot. It was so funny, it was so real!"

"Haha, that's true. But when I was a kid, I was smarter than Old Thief An. I learned the wet towel technique since I was young!"

"Zhao! That bastard An Laozei is adding onions to the promotional video, right? This kid is exactly like me, but I have given up on the path of game production."

"Ah, the scene where Mr. An silently shut down the game engine was really heartbreaking..."

"! You still feel sorry for old thief An! When I saw Silver Wolf smiling at him, my heart was broken! Where on earth did old thief An find Silver Wolf! There was even a little Silver Wolf! She even gave a game console to old thief An! Woo woo woo, and I can only play the game console that Silver Wolf gave me in Star Iron. Reality is really too cruel! It's so miserable! It's so miserable!"

"This Liben netizen, please take it easy."

"According to reliable information, this actor who looks like Silver Wolf is really an employee of Mihoyo, and is really the game taster in charge of the Greenlight Project. There is also a rumor that she has a very good personal relationship with An Laozei! She even doesn't care about An Laozei's girlfriend Heita!"

"Damn it! I gritted my teeth just listening to this! Kill An Gou and rob Silver Wolf!"

"I remember that domestic stand-alone games were also very popular when I was a kid, but I don't know when they gradually disappeared from the market, and all that's left are a bunch of defenses..."

"The future will definitely be good. Just wait for Mihoyo to launch its attack! There will be no need to worry about good games! Look at the quality of Qiye! Mihoyo's Greenlight program is really saving the domestic game industry!"

“Without saying too much, +1 for pre-order, just a little support.”

Chapter 223 confirmed that An Yi is actually a master of gigolos!

"The old domestic games really have a flavor. The games back then were really fun..."

"Yeah, I still remember..."

"..."

It’s not just Lao E’s live broadcast room.

At this moment, a wave of nostalgia has swept across social platforms across the Internet.

The cause was this less than 3-minute 'Greenlight' promotional video.

Why do people feel nostalgic?

This question is not easy to answer.

The reasons for missing the past are different for everyone.

But if we put aside the complicated shell, in essence, one thing is the same, that is people's yearning for beauty.

When people encounter some kind of stimulation, this yearning emotion can easily trigger emotional events, and past events will continue to emerge in their minds.

Coincidentally, the Greenlight promotional video just released by Mihoyo is such a triggering event.

Many scenes in the video touched upon fond memories in the minds of most players, instantly triggering widespread resonance and heating up the discussion.

This wave of nostalgia among the whole nation, coupled with the extensive discussion among the player community about the high-quality "Seven Nights", these two voices blend and collide.

Afterwards, the popularity of "Seven Nights", the feelings of domestic independent game enthusiasts, the expectations of players for domestic independent games, and other voices all merged together, pushing the popularity of the Greenlight Program and the games participating in the program to further increase with unstoppable momentum.

As a result, the number of registered users on the Youmi Cloud platform has ushered in a new round of explosive growth.

You know, the number of Mihoyo players now cannot be ignored, and it is really commendable that it can generate a new round of growth momentum on this basis.

very beginning,

When Mihoyo first announced the Greenlight Project, not many players paid attention to it, because many people were not interested in the story behind the game.

Even some of Mihoyo's own employees did not understand Anyi's operations.

Why does Youmi Cloud Platform, Mihoyo's own platform, reserve such a large space for Green Light and provide such strong support?

After all, the games there are from other game manufacturers. Wouldn’t it be nice to have such a large space to promote your own games?

Until... today, the promotional video released by Anyi allowed them to find the answer directly from their memories.
