Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

On the first day of the National Day holiday, at one o'clock in the afternoon.

The first batch of 300 (actually only 299) closed beta qualifications posted on the official website were all received.

Yang Qiu, who was busy writing the task text, took the time to look at the 290 helmets that had been ordered, and then looked at the "game world" where only three players were having fun... After thinking about it, he used the information provided by the mental imprint matrix. Real-time conductivity, as an online GM, make an announcement to the three "online" players:

After picking up the leftover clothes, the three players who were fumbling around in Exile Town to complete the task saw two rows of yellow characters in front of them at the same time:

"Today's closed closed beta will end after 10 minutes of game time. Online players are requested to return to the safe area of ​​the resurrection point in time to log off."

"If the safe area is not selected to go offline, the player data (equipment, props, etc.) may be lost."

The three players scolded in unison: "Damn me?!"

"It's been so long since Caite has been playing... what the hell?! We've been playing for almost six hours?" Qin Guan, a hardcore player, scolded, looked at the game time, and was taken aback, "We Have you been online for so long? Really, why do I feel like I haven’t been playing for long?”

"Yeah, it feels like I've only played for three or four hours, and I haven't had enough fun yet." The fellow heavy player gave me medicine and was also very dissatisfied.

"Uh...we've been playing for a long time." Mild player Miaobi Shenghua said fair words, "We went online after we died, and it took more than half an hour to avoid the mouse and retrieve the clothes, and then the novice I ran around the places I could go in the town, and did the tasks given by the four zombie NPCs, and now we have all completed the fifth task."

"Hey, that's right." After taking the medicine for me, he suddenly said, "My potential has increased a little, to 43."

"Yeah, I also increased a little, to 49." Miaobi Shenghua was very happy when he mentioned this place where he had a special advantage, "When we died, the numerical description was updated online, and the potential can be upgraded to level 50 when the potential reaches 1 Well, I'm almost there."

"Both of you have increased your potential but I haven't! I'm still 37! I can't believe it!" Qin Guan jumped angrily.

"It's okay, it's okay, if you do more tasks given by the NPC, it will definitely increase." The two hurriedly appease the unlucky old man, and walked back and forth with the task items given by the NPC, "Let's make an appointment to start the server later. Go online and do missions together, even if we have reached the first level, we will stay with you until you are promoted."

Needless to say, Qin Guanhe gave me medicine. Non-fanatic gamers like Miaobi Shenghua have played many games on the market. If they want to put aside ordinary games, they are very impatient to do the task-manipulating the small screen on the screen. It is really boring for people to run around and fight monsters repeatedly. No matter how good the plot is, it will be boring after two hours of doing it.

But "Alien World" is different. This kind of black-tech game that immerses one's body and mind, as long as it is a scene that has not been seen or something that has not been done, it will feel very novel to experience... If it is not because of that big mouse Scared them, this San Baobu has already run out of the town of exile to have fun all over the world.

Before returning to Tutaizi, which also functions as a birth point, resurrection point, and offline point, the three people who had exchanged contact information in reality bid farewell to each other and went offline one after another.

The skeleton characters of Yang Qiu and the other three players sank into the catacombs under the platform... Uh, space, immediately close the mental imprint matrix, close the space-time rift that opened the physical connection between the servers on both sides, and hurried out to give the paid players hair helmet.

"The mental imprint matrix is ​​fine, it can be opened anywhere. The physical connection between the servers on both sides is more troublesome... But if there is no connection, the screenshots and videos recorded by the player during the game cannot be downloaded from the earth at any time." While busy with delivery, Yang Qiu thought about the problems after the game was launched normally.

The server he bought does not need to provide computing for the game to run, it is purely used as a transfer station for uploading and downloading screenshots and videos, and for this transfer station to be able to transmit files in real time, the space-time rift must be kept open.

The time-space rift must never be exposed or known by the second person. During the time period when the time-space rift is opened, he must stay nearby...

Then the problem came back again, he just disguised the magical alien world as a game, and he couldn't really turn the alien world into a game; to increase the content of the game and expand the space that players can explore, he had to prepare the groundwork and disguise himself Work, where is the time to squat in the computer room?

"...Let's use the plan we have considered. The screenshots and videos recorded by the players in the game are classified in the panel 'Personal Log' disguised as 'spiritual imprint'. When the player returns to the resurrection point and goes offline , the content in the 'personal log' is uploaded to the server over there synchronously."

"If you don't get back to the point of being offline, then it's okay... well, this can be counted as 'data loss due to abnormal logout', and it's the player's personal problem."

"If you download from the earth...you have to wait for a day in real time before you can download it. In this way, I open a space-time rift every day and send the information stored in the server over there through a physical connection to the server here. Time and space Opening fewer cracks can also reduce the risk of exposure."

I can’t download the pictures and videos I uploaded on this side of the earth at any time, there will definitely be voices of dissatisfaction among the players... But it’s not a big problem, there is no game in this world with 100% user satisfaction!

All 290 helmets were sent out by SF Express. More than half of the first day of the National Day holiday had passed. When Yang Qiu returned to the rented suburban computer room, it was dark.

Thinking about the weak game content, imperfect mission system, and lack of functional NPCs exposed in today's first test, Yang Qiu pondered for a while and decided to end this closed internal test, and set the opening time of the next internal test to two days. diva.

After posting the announcement of the postponement of the internal test to the official website, Yang Qiu put some daily necessities into the space ring, which opened a space-time rift and went to the magic plane.

On the other side, the three first-test players who have been eagerly refreshing the official website and other news since they went offline, and the other six players who missed the closed beta, waited until [-]:[-] pm for the announcement of the postponement of the server opening, saying in unison fragrance……

Qin Guan didn't even have the strength to cut the second video, so he went to bed early in a huff.

I don't know if it was due to playing the game for more than seven hours (game time) and waiting anxiously for an afternoon. Qin Guan's sleep quality was quite good that night, and he slept until the morning of the second day.

As soon as Qin Guan, who lay sleepily on the bed and played with his mobile phone, turned it on, he found that all the social software apps and messages on his mobile phone had changed to 99.

Qin Guan confusedly clicked on one by one to see...

A few minutes later, Qin Guan, who had to play with his mobile phone for at least half an hour before getting out of bed, suddenly sat up, and couldn't help cursing loudly: "Damn it!!"

One day later, Qin Guan released a recommendation video for a new VR game, which was spread by enthusiastic netizens in various game groups, game forums, and discussion areas, which has already caused shock among domestic players.

Before, when Yang Qiu used his trumpet to post promotional articles everywhere, he often publicized the three live-action promotional videos on the official website, but the pictures in the video were too "movie-level", no matter how you watched them A game scene made with the level of technology in the 21st century is naturally labeled as a "fraud game that only promotes CG and can be seen" by the majority of domestic players, which does not give him a good face at all.

Of course, we can’t blame the players for being suspicious, but there are too many such things—the goods are wrong, CG and games are completely two worlds, and the CG animations of movie screenshots are used as propaganda to trick players into downloading, but after logging in, they are not The legendary XX version is the shit of multiple births in web games, and the unscrupulous domestic game industry players really do a lot.

Some games with more conscientious production will even be used by these unscrupulous colleagues as a material library, let alone stealing your CG, I will use all your character modeling, your scenes, and the clothing you designed, even if the production is not good. Your conscience and modeling are a thousand times rougher than yours. As long as I can trick players into paying, then I have the ability.

It wasn't until Qin Guan, a group of believers who paid a premium to play the game, and released the video recorded in the game, that the players who had angered Yang Qiu's trumpet suddenly realized that they were in a hurry to open the official website...but it was too late, 300 The qualifications for the internal test have already been exhausted.

Some players are willing to be patient and wait for the production team to release a new account, while other players who are more impatient are not so Buddhist, and start frantically writing messages on the official website message board to recycle the internal beta account at a high price...

Looking at it this way, it seems to be a good thing. When the closed beta was closed for the first time, "Alien World", which only had three poor people online, seemed to be on the rise, and Qin Guan, the first UP master who released the live-action video of "Alien World", also has a rising momentum. Not only broke through 3 fans overnight, but also went straight to 20.

But things on the Internet... It is never possible to have only one voice. Qin Guan's video is spreading wildly among the player groups, and his own ID vanilla pudding is also being remembered by more and more players. Harmonious voices also came out...

First of all, it was a well-known anchor in the game circle who questioned in the live broadcast that the 10-minute video released by Qin Guan was suspected of fraud, gimmicks, and false marketing—who knows if it is the UP host of Vanilla Pudding? In collusion with the game party, which foreign blockbuster's screen was stolen, and such a fake video was processed by dubbing, editing, post-production and other means to deceive people?

The reason for questioning is also very tenable: anyone who has played VR games around the world knows what kind of development has become; to be able to construct a small fake scene that is not too conspicuous, the research and development department of a large company must work overtime It took a bit of painstaking effort to get it out.

You are a pheasant production team that is completely unknown at home and abroad. The pheasant game you produced doesn’t even have a batch number, and you have to fool players under the banner of an independent game. You dare to say that your game has the ability to beat the world’s top game publishers. Black technology, why isn't this called the scam of the century, what is the scam of the century?

With such a serious anchor standing up to the front, following the trend will naturally follow... As soon as Qin Guan opened the app of the live broadcast station, in a blink of an eye, he saw several videos hanging on the front page that satirized and mocked him by name ...

"What the hell is this?" Qin Guan angrily closed the app, and opened Weibo instead.

Not to mention comments and private messages, @他 has thousands of messages.

Trembling, Qin Guan clicked @his message... and found that many @his messages pointed to a long Weibo.

Qin Guan swallowed, and clicked on this long Weibo.

After watching for only 2 minutes, he fell back on the bed with a bang, his head bouncing on the pillow.

This long Weibo is very well written. The blogger analyzed the inferences of Luckin's routine in the game "Alien" from a very novel angle, and said it very clearly:

First of all, it is to use a low-cost method of deception to hype a large-scale cross-era VR game that has received a lot of attention before it is officially launched in China.

Secondly, the company or enterprise to which the game and the black-tech VR technology represented by the game are listed in a major city with a prosperous international financial industry, such as London, New York, and Singapore.

Then, while maintaining the popularity of the "Alien" game and the black technology VR technology represented by the game in China, the world's second largest economy, while drawing big cakes and telling stories to fool investors in the capital world, and cutting leeks in the Western world...

At the end of the long Weibo, the blogger seemed to be reasonable and expressed his disapproval of the behavior of the skeptics besieging UP’s main vanilla pudding. He thought that vanilla pudding was just an insignificant person in this big game. Everyone despised vanilla pudding. It’s fine to act as a minion and make any bad money. What everyone has to do is to boycott the game production team like "Outsider", which treats Chinese players like monkeys, and don't continue to send heat to this fraudulent game...

This long Weibo post was posted at ten o'clock last night. When Qin Guan saw it 11 hours later, it was forwarded tens of thousands and left thousands of comments.

There are also thousands of private messages scolding Qin Guan and comments scolding him on Qin Guan's Weibo.

Qin Guan had never suffered such grievances in his life, and he was so angry that his whole body was weak and wept coldly: "What is this so special - is it true or not? Don't you know if the game is opened and you go up and take a look? You have been waiting for two days Come on and spray me before it's too late?!"

He hadn't woken up from being stunned by being scolded by strangers until his little brother, who had played Jin in a certain game, called him.

"Brother Qin, I saw your message in the group yesterday, so I took out this month's living expenses and bought helmets for the brothers in the studio. You know that my life is very difficult, and the current studio only has horses. Those who wash accounts and open scripts and cheats can make money, and those of us who honestly earn money manually can barely make ends meet... You won’t lie to me, will you?”

Qin Guan endured his grievances and persuaded: "Xiao Zhou, don't you know who I am if others don't know me? Those people outside are all making up nonsense, and I'm the same as the production team of "Alien World". ... This game is really high-quality, it will definitely be popular in the future, it is not easy for us to make money, even if I lie to you, I will not come to lie to you, will I?"

After comforting the little brother who played well, Qin Guan still held back his grievances, and received another call from another studio.

"Cao Da, you are not kind, why don't you hook up with such a big boss who is capable of cutting foreign leeks? You eat meat, and brothers can drink soup. Let me introduce you—"

"There's really no need to buy that helmet! Why don't you go and apply for a refund as soon as possible!" Qin Guan snarled and hung up the phone.

On the opposite side, the boss of the studio who wanted to follow the "big things" gave a piss, cursed and asked his younger brother to contact the players on the message board of the official website who are looking for qualifications for the closed beta, and transfer the helmet as soon as possible while there are still fools to take over...
