Chapter 284 Shock from Britain (Update 1)
"Hahahahahaha!"
In Qiu Yu's rental house, Alan laughed unscrupulously while watching the latest news.
Qiu Yu had just packaged and uploaded his game. After hearing laughter, he came over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's just...that...hahaha..."
Alan originally wanted to talk nicely, but the video he just saw It was so funny, he laughed several times, and finally said reluctantly: "Isn't it popular to make food games recently? Guess what, the British people actually dare to make such games. How dare they!"
Qiu Yu couldn't bear it either. He laughed.
British cuisine is world-renowned, and the compiled food guide can be written in ten pages. The only thing shorter than it is "What good things has the United States done?"
Taking out two cans of beer from the refrigerator, Qiu Yu sat next to Alan and watched the video on Alan's tablet together.
After dragging the video to the beginning, Alan also took a can of beer and started watching it from the beginning.
The video was posted on an overseas platform. A blond and blue-eyed guy began to introduce the game that had just been released in Britain.
"This is a very creative game. The developer said that it can perfectly restore the British cuisine, so that we can enjoy the beauty of the food through the game."
Drinking beer, Qiu Yu said: "100% restoration? Kirin Industries' The game cabin seems to be only 30%."
"Hmm. I haven't started reading the rest yet, but this sentence is already very funny. British food...how much did he charge to not laugh."
Qiu Yu can do it too. It was obvious that the other party must have received money, and it should be quite a lot.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to tell lies so naturally and smoothly.
The dedicated anchor picked up the package sent by the developer and said while unpacking it: "Everyone knows that virtual reality technology is developing rapidly. This manufacturer was not famous before, but it has also begun to enter the virtual reality industry. , This surprised me a little, but it also proves that Britain has strong technological strength."
The box was quickly cut open, but after seeing the contents inside, the corner of the anchor's mouth twitched obviously.
Compared with the existing virtual reality equipment on the market, what was placed in front of him was not a game cabin at all, but a rather bulky VR glasses.
After a few seconds of silence, the anchor quickly put on a smile and continued: "You can see that our technology in Britain is indeed far ahead. Compared with the bulky game cabins of other manufacturers, I feel that these glasses are more practical." "
Wow. ." Qiu Yu said with emotion, "This person is so professional that he is not even laughing at this time." "
Indeed, his reputation is not good, but he has always been able to collect money and deliver goods." Alan said with a smile, "But It's a bit strange. Didn't he get the manuscript before? Why does he look so surprised?"
"Maybe he was asked to express himself freely."
The video continued to play, and the anchor also started to talk eloquently, blowing up the VR glasses to the sky. Qiu Yu almost wants to buy a set.
After he finished reading the instructions, the other party connected the glasses and the live broadcast equipment, and switched the perspective to the glasses perspective.
The interface in the game looks a bit technological, and its graphics and reality are combined to give people a sci-fi movie-like feel.
Seeing the game interface, the anchor's voice was obviously a bit sharper. It seemed that the UI design was quite in line with his expectations.
"There are recipes in the upper left corner of the game. We can cook by calling the recipes. Let's take a look. There are starry sky pie, kidney pie, lamb stomach pie, potato pie... Well, there are still many kinds. But I am a little curious, The game manufacturer said that it can let players feel the smell, but I don’t know how. Maybe it’s incense?”
I randomly chose a dish of fish and chips, and a lively fresh fish appeared in the host’s field of vision, with processed fish next to it. Good potato chips.
"Well, the image of the food is quite good. At this time, we will follow the instructions, put the fish in the virtual oil pan, and then fry it directly." The
food cooking process is restored by the game, and the regular process is not particularly interesting. , but you can still watch it.
But everyone knows that their focus is on the manufacturer’s selling point, “perfect restoration of taste”, not anything else.
The anchor also knows what the audience expects, so he skips the middle process and comes to the last step, restoring the taste.
The freshly fried fish and potatoes were good, and the steaming heat made people a little appetizing, but the most important taste was still missing.
Fortunately, when the final platter was completed, a dialog box popped up in the game: [Do you need to improve your taste function? A promotion costs £5 15p. ]
"I still need more money." The anchor scratched his head helplessly and finally chose to pay.
[Okay, the function is expected to be activated in two hours and fifteen minutes, please wait. 】
This prompt made the anchor even more confused.
But since it is a commercial order, no matter how strange it is, we have to wait.
But what he didn't expect was that the wait was not just two hours and fifteen minutes, but a full four hours.
Even though the anchor edited the time, Qiu Yu still felt a little impatient. The anchor in the video was so bored that he started running around the room, and finally there was a knock on the door four hours later.
Opening the door in confusion, the anchor found a thick black man at the door.
He threw a plastic bag of food into the anchor's arms, then stretched out his hand and said: "9 pounds and 15 pence."
"Why? I didn't order takeout!"
"This is your place, I don't care about the meal cost. 5 pounds 15p, take-out fee 1 pound, takeaway fee 2 pounds."
"You are robbing! And this shop is only 100 meters away from my home, you charge me 2 pounds! And where did the other pound come from!"
"The cost of ordering food on the platform."
"You are robbing!"
"I don't care, you have to pay."
Due to the pressure brought by the other party's physique, the anchor reluctantly gave the money and returned to the original place with a takeaway bag. position.
He silently opened the takeout bag and found fish and chips inside.
However, the fried fish has turned black and the French fries have become limp. They look unappetizing and taste soft.
And the fries didn't even come with ketchup, and they looked like finely shredded rubber in your mouth, which didn't taste good at all.
But in his glasses, the game system is still prompting him to overlap the real objects and pictures to get the best gaming experience.
Looking at the beautiful pictures in the glasses, and then looking at the garbage-like food in reality, the anchor felt that the food in his mouth was even more unpalatable.
At this point, both Qiu Yu and Alan understood.
I dare you to have a real taste experience, it’s like actually ordering a takeaway!
No wonder I dare to guarantee that I can restore it 100%. After all, it is the real entrance, so why not restore it?
However, the original price of 5 pounds and 15 pence was suddenly raised to 9 pounds and 15 pence. The game platform also thoughtfully charged a pound ordering fee. This is really a clever little guy. After finishing the takeaway, the anchor's mouth twitched, but he still suppressed his anger and forced a smile: "It's a really novel game method. The combination of virtuality and reality allows me to see... …”
[Excuse me, did you enjoy the game? Can you give me a five-star review? 】
The panel that suddenly popped up completely defeated the anchor's psychological defense.
He ripped off his glasses, smashed them on the ground, then stepped on them hard, shouting angrily: "I'll give you a good review, you bastard bastard! I'll give you a good review! I'll give you a good review!" He
stepped on it more than a dozen times . , he picked up the bench on one side and smashed his glasses into pieces.
The screen then went black, but the anchor's voice still sounded nearby, talking endlessly about his feelings.
He was hungry for four hours, paid a high takeout fee, and ended up eating extremely unpalatable fish and chips. In the end, he was shamelessly asked for a five-star review.
Damn it!
No more money to be made!
The host's experience process was full of effects, especially the last fifteen minutes of non-stop yelling, which made people laugh until they collapsed. It also proved that not every manufacturer can afford virtual reality.
After laughing enough, Alan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Qiu Yu's computer and asked, "How are today's data?"
"Not bad." Qiu Yu replied.
Glancing at Qiu Yu, Alan felt that the other person was in a good mood, and it should be more than just good.
Qiu Yu's game was finally launched some time ago and was first launched in the Game Inn. The current revenue is pretty good.
The game uses a pixel masturbation mode. Players can control their pixel planes to fight in each scene, and defeat the final boss to obtain rewards.
In the traditional masturbation mode, Qiu Yu has also incorporated some roguelike gameplay. A large number of weapons are randomly generated, a large number of props are randomly obtained, and a difficulty mode and various artifacts and props are added to make each game different. A sense of randomness.
In order to save costs, the pictures and UI in the game are all generated with pixels, and some codes also use AI programs.
Since it is a pixel style, the AI performance is more natural.
The game is connected to an advertising pool. Players can be resurrected or obtain additional currency by watching ads, or they can recharge to purchase monthly cards and lifetime ad-free cards.
Game Inn has traffic support for independent producers like him. After the game was launched, the number of people online soon exceeded 10,000, and the retention rates for the next day and seven days were both good.
After that, you can apply for a precise push in the game inn, and the platform will push the game based on the tag of his game, which will further increase your revenue.
There are not many competing products for masturbation right now, and there are even fewer aircraft with random elements. Moreover, the quality of Qiu Yu’s games is very high, so his income this month should be quite considerable.
Knowing Qiu Yu's current situation, Alan whistled: "Then you should treat me to a treat. How about kebabs? Plus a big bottle of beer. By the way, there are also lamb kidneys."
"Okay." Qiu Yu smiled. said.
After ordering takeout, Qiu Yu looked at the data again and breathed a sigh of relief.
Playing games full-time seems wonderful, but only he understands the inner pressure.
In the early days, there was no income, and all expenditures had to come from his own savings. Fortunately, Alan knew Qiu Yu's situation and took him out for toothpaste from time to time, and even helped him pay half of the rent. This is how he can persist until now.
Moreover, AI is now developed, and the content of his games is not very artistic, otherwise he would not be able to persist.
Fortunately, his game was successful. The next step is to continue to update and continue to operate.
Although it is not a big hit, the quality of the game has been recognized by many people. There have been hundreds of comments and discussions under related entries, and it can already support itself in a niche field.
The next step is to accumulate more experience and capital, then continue to develop games, and eventually set up his own studio.
Chatting with Alan about the recent bitterness, Qiu Yu returned to the computer after eating the takeaway and admired the data for a while, and then prepared to continue planning the version to take his game to the next level.
Good times are coming.
However, when he discovered that there was an extra email in his mailbox, he read the email in confusion, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Alan, who was wiping the corner of his mouth, realized something was wrong and came over and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Nnity is going to change its charging strategy."
"...to what?"
"A single installation costs almost one yuan, and it is installed according to the player Charges for times."
"They are crazy! Do they really think they are the only game engine these days?"
Nnity has always been one of the largest game engines, with very comprehensive built-in functions. It is very convenient for making game UIs and rendering models.
After reviewing the adjustment strategy in detail, Alan found that the situation was not that dangerous, but it was undoubtedly a bad sign.
Changing orders from day to day will greatly affect the company's reputation, and the other party's stock price also fell by 20%, indicating that capital is not optimistic about the other party's choice.
And this time it is likely to test the bottom line of manufacturers. If the voice of resistance is not loud, then the other party is likely to adopt a more aggressive charging strategy.
Many manufacturers have decided to modify the engines of their own games. Small independent games may not have much impact, but their next game may become a hit, and then they will be the opponent's leek.
The good mood just now was gone. The game's background data looked like time bombs, making Qiu Yu's mood very bad.
After silently drinking a bottle of beer with Qiu Yu, Alan suddenly had an idea and said to Qiu Yu: "Didn't Fangcheng Studio's "Qi Ling" open the MOD mode? Can you transplant your game into it?"
" How is it possible...Wait a minute, it seems possible!"
Immediately turning on the computer, Qiu Yu re-run "Qi Ling" and turned on the MOD mode, and was surprised to find that the function of this MOD was much more powerful than he imagined.
Various functions are pre-installed, there are a large number of built-in models in the game, and there are also various material resources added by players.
Just some free pixel materials are much more powerful than those produced by AI, and the requirements for the program are not high. As long as you are proficient in some operating methods, you can make a decent game.
From its launch to the present, "Qi Ling" has a history of only more than half a year, but the accumulated materials in it have been incredible. Some people even earn 100,000 yuan a month by selling MODs.
After looking at it carefully for a long time, Qiu Yu found that he was a little stupid.
Why wasn't this treasure trove discovered earlier?
Most of Nnity's functions can be realized through the MOD editor, and free plug-ins added by others further expand the functions of the MOD, making it already a very good game editor.
Holding his chin, Qiu Yu looked at the Qi Ling MOD editor. Various ideas emerged, making him excited.
This thing is already a domestic game editor!
