In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?
#11 - The first original painting is released!
Xu Meng's resentment was not without cause.
Just like his decision to transform "Project Frostsnow" and go all-in on a sexy style, it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision.
If the general environment in Xia was still the same as before, he wouldn't have done this.
Back then, the audits in all aspects were very strict, whether it was entertainment, games... everything was relatively restrained. Any slight deviation could touch the audit red line and get hammered.
But after the economic growth slowed down, that invisible red line quietly receded.
Different platforms may have some differences in specific rules, but without exception, they have all been greatly relaxed.
P Station (Pili Pili) is naturally no exception.
This illustration of He Yin, even compared to the illustrations posted by their own users on the site, doesn't count as very revealing.
Even the real-life cosplayers here can reveal half their butts and no one cares—he had carefully investigated the operating environment when playing with his phone before going to bed.
Therefore, Xu Meng completely couldn't understand why he was being held up in the audit.
He was using the official account of "Project Frostsnow", and he was also a partner, right?
Having a picture held up in the audit would be laughable if word got out!
"Mengling! Mengling!" Xu Meng began to call his little assistant, "Get Song Zhicheng over here!"
As the dignified boss of Zhunmeng, it was of course impossible for him to appeal to customer service—this kind of thing should be handled by his subordinates directly contacting the person in charge of their game agency department.
Make it clear directly, so as to avoid encountering the same problem again and again in the future.
— In the future, he would inevitably have to send more similar, or even more erotic, pictures.
After spending a few minutes dispatching Song Zhicheng to solve the problem, Xu Meng turned his attention back to the screen and switched to the Weiguan homepage.
He was pleased to see that this picture had caused a small sensation.
"Project Frostsnow" was, after all, a game that had made it to the public beta stage. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how down on its luck, it still had 1 million followers on Weiguan and 2 million on P Station.
In addition, it was already in the eye of the storm, so it wasn't lacking in popularity at this time.
As soon as this concept art was released, it attracted a large number of netizens to come and watch.
At first, most people, seeing that "Project Frostsnow" had made a move, were planning to come and start spraying.
But the moment they clicked on the large picture, those swear words were stuck in their throats.
Faced with the sexy and sassy curly-haired beauty, the pure onlookers immediately defected.
Professional water armies reported to their team leaders, requesting a new version of the copy.
And the real "Project Frostsnow" players, looking at the familiar characters from the past, reappearing in a highly stylized new image, felt an impact far greater than those passersby who didn't know He Yin.
They were the ones who really exploded on the spot—
"My f*ck! Is this He Yin? The He Yin who called me brother in the game?!"
"My little sister has grown up!"
"No way, old girl, how can you dress like this! Just wear it at home for me alone!"
"This is too sexy! /Sprays blood"
"I don't care so much! Today, it's you!"
"Did Zhunmeng change its art designers? The effect is immediate! This is too strong!"
"Is this the strength of a landed artist? Quick, tell me their name! I want to see the previous works of the big boss!"
"This is actually a character in the permanent card pool? F*ck! I'm going to whale through the regular pool to get her out right now!"
"Are you crazy, bro? It hasn't been implemented yet!"
"Not bad, not bad." Xu Meng couldn't help but feel happy for Ding Nian.
Although she had also drawn the concept art and illustrations of several characters before, no player had ever wanted to inquire about who drew those characters.
It can be seen that drawing more mediocre characters is not as good as drawing a colorful character with enough style that can be remembered at a glance.
At least this time, with this He Yin, Ding Nian will definitely be remembered by many players.
When her name is revealed one day, her fans will definitely skyrocket!
Looking further down, the comments from passersby also popped up one after another:
"Is she going commando??!"
"Is 'Project Frostsnow' this exciting?"
"I have to play it now!"
"The boss of Zhunmeng has ideas! The future is promising!"
"More than just a promising future, it has simply opened up a new dimension for the second game, a saint."
"I have a feeling that [Game Observation] may fail to predict this time."
"It's too early to be happy. There are still 108,000 miles from the concept art to the actual machine. Who knows what the final modeling will look like."
"Don't let it become concept art fraud in the end."
Xu Meng nodded as he watched.
He was very satisfied with the reaction of the passersby.
Although there were doubts about Zhunmeng's modeling and programming capabilities, the intention was also not to want to ruin this concept art.
It can be seen that they really like He Yin's new image, and they also approve of the path that "Project Frostsnow" is going to take.
This is undoubtedly great news for the employees of Zhunmeng.
Xu Meng's confidence has also been further strengthened.
This move was the right one!
The latest novels are first published at 69shu.com!
The popularity of "Project Frostsnow" has been sustained, and some of the black traffic has been converted into useful traffic.
Those insults were not in vain.
Even better, netizens really put the hat of "opening up a new dimension for the second game" on Zhunmeng's head.
Although it's not praise like "opening up a new field"—"new dimension" is at most a neutral word, and whether it's praise or derogation depends on the specific context, but it's still useful.
Especially when the opponent also plans to make this type of game.
Putting aside everything else, the flame war is inherently invincible.
At that time, their own players can confidently spray the opposite side: "You can't even catch up with the hot stuff after eating sh*t!"
"The boss of Moyu must be in a bad mood at this time!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the water army was preparing a new copy and had not yet formed a scale, Xu Meng neatly closed the page to avoid being affected by the water army's mood later, and then plunged back into the heated coding work.
...
...
Xu Meng's guess was correct.
The boss of Moyu Games was indeed in a very bad mood.
But not because he lost the initiative in the future flame war, but because of some more realistic problems.
Two pictures were displayed in front of him, one was the commando cheongsam He Yin just released by Zhunmeng, and the other was a cheongsam character in his new game.
— That character had a round bun hairstyle, and the cheongsam on her body had hollowed out parts in many places, revealing the skin and bustier inside.
She was also a cute girl.
Compared with similar second game characters in the industry, she seemed quite bold.
But compared with Zhunmeng's character, she was a bit too conservative.
Moreover, the clothing style was also slightly uncoordinated with her body dynamics and expression.
— The artist was used to drawing cute and lively characters, and was suddenly asked to draw "sexier", so he subconsciously added bold clothing on the basis of the cute character.
But the cuteness of the character and the boldness of the clothing were separate, and they were not well integrated.
After all, Moyu Games was also a game company that had been established for many years, and its operating conditions were good. When trying out new themes—even themes that were more out of the ordinary than in the past, it had to consider the company's reputation and word of mouth, and could not implicate the games that were currently in operation.
In other words, it must be stable.
It was impossible for them to be like Xu Meng, who directly said "Draw me sexy characters, the sexier the better!"
The starting points of the two were different.
One was "add some more sexy elements to the character", and the other was "let the sexy character pass the audit".
This difference in philosophy, reflected in the final product, would create a very large gap.
Without comparison, it might not be very obvious.
But now that the two paintings were put together, the gap was a bit cruel!
Moyu Games' concept art was completely crushed in terms of attractiveness.
"The lag of one concept art is nothing."
Moyu Games boss Fei Zhiyuan said to the subordinates in front of him.
"But the lag of 1 card pool character is a big problem."
"If 5 characters are so far behind, then the overall game revenue will be as different as heaven and earth!"
"We have been preparing for more than half a year, how long have they been preparing?"
"A day? Or two days?"
"Can anyone explain to me—"
"What have you been doing for the past half a year?!"
