Chapter 183: Lao Deng Wants to Be an Astronaut
In the hot promotion atmosphere!
The project is progressing rapidly!
Moreover, thanks to the support and promotion of the "To the Moon" project by China Entertainment, the "Escape" project has been hidden even deeper.
Almost everyone's attention was focused on this charity week event.
Gu Sheng was very satisfied with this situation.
Because the deeper the escape project is hidden, the safer it is.
By waiting until the project is almost done and launching a wave of publicity and promotion, we can not only concentrate our efforts on a sudden burst of momentum, but also catch Konami off guard, making it too late for them to stop it.
A dump truck that appears suddenly is a good dump truck.
So!
During this period of time, Golden Wind's main strategy has been to cooperate with China Entertainment Entertainment to promote this charity week event.
Today I’m going to reveal that the game’s art style will be returning to pixel style.
I will reveal a little bit tomorrow that the game will be a role-playing game with a main plot.
I will reveal a little bit that the day after tomorrow, this game will invite a mysterious guest to sing the ending song.
Pieces of news are released one after another, and each one can arouse heated discussion among players!
After all, it was pixel-style games that brought Golden Wind into the players’ field of vision and enabled Gu Sheng to win the title of supernova!
It is not an exaggeration to say that the reason why the pixel style was able to revive is largely due to "Vampire Survivor"!
The "story-oriented role-playing" game type has also attracted the attention of many players!
after all!
In most people's eyes, pixel style is not suitable for plots.
Because its visual performance is so poor, it is very detrimental to the expression of emotions.
but!
This is the game of Golden Wind!
This is the gaming company that once won over millions of players with just one simple sentence: "Believe me."
Their control over the game plot can be said to be top-notch in the industry.
Therefore, even though it is a pixel style, players are still looking forward to it and want to see what form the Golden Wind will take to bring everyone a brand new experience.
Except this time!
The "mysterious guest singing the ending song" is also very eye-catching!
Ending song!
This has never appeared in the game before.
Generally speaking, it is very rare for a game to have a theme song or soundtrack that runs through the entire game!
And Golden Wind, a pixel-style game, even has its own "ending song"!
This is something that has never been heard of or seen in the gaming industry!
Amidst the anticipation, the project is also progressing rapidly!
Every day at work, Shen Miaomiao would lock herself in the office and communicate with various outsourced departments, watching the project she had personally handled grow, improve, and become fuller.
As for when she gets home from work, Gu Sheng will help her sort out related issues.
Whether it's while eating, beside the sofa, or in the studio.
Whenever she had the chance, Shen Miaomiao would take out the little notebook she carried with her and chase after Gu Sheng to ask him questions.
After solving each problem, Shen Miaomiao would not only record the solution in a small notebook, but also take a photo of the two of them with the Polaroid camera that Gu Sheng gave her, under the euphemism of "leaving traces of work"...
…
In the blink of an eye!
Time flies.
February is here.
Although it is a cold winter, Huayu Electronics' wild promotion and marketing has made the gaming circle hot.
Players are very excited about the upcoming Charity Week event!
Relevant media have also begun to follow up on the reports, constantly compiling and publishing information about the upcoming Charity Week promotions!
For example, Nuyan's " Hot Racing Charity Pack", Guangyao's "Exciting Gunfire Charity Pack", Zhenting's "Classic Works Collection Charity Pack", etc...
certainly!
Besides these!
The most popular one is naturally the new "charity work" that Golden Wind is about to release!
Although!
The investment in this game is not large, it is just a small pixel-style game with an investment of only about 500,000 (not counting the assistance of Shen Miaomiao's face fruit).
But don’t forget!
Huayu Entertainment has allocated 5 million yuan in publicity and promotion funds for its operation!
Backed by official media, with ten times the publicity and promotion funding support!
Not to mention the pixel mini-games, even if Golden Wind comes out with Catriona 2, it will also attract much attention from the market and players!
In a blink of an eye, Charity Week is online!
Eight o'clock in the evening!
shark!
Ayin game live broadcast room.
"Good morning, good morning..."
After a classic greeting of good morning no matter what time it is, Yin looked at the comments:
"What's on today? Hey, is it on today? Do I need to ask? Is it on today? Can you see what I got?"
As he spoke, A Yin shook the wireless elite controller in his hand in front of the camera.
The barrage was filled with low voices——
"Good boy, the boss came prepared today."
"I see the entire gaming area is being flooded with Charity Week activities."
'Charity Week is nothing special, it's mainly because Xiao Huang's new game is too awesome'
'Hurry up! I can't wait!'
"Boss, this elite controller is too much of a hassle. This is a story-based game, so you don't need an elite controller, right?"
"God knows how the old thief defines "plot-oriented". Titanfall is still plot-oriented after all. Haven't you ever been beaten up by Brother Venomous Snake?"
'You have nowhere to hide, and nowhere to escape...'
"Ahhh, stop talking, stop talking. I almost vomited when Viper-kun beat me like that."
'Hahahaha maybe this time they'll add a plot based on the vampire survivors.'
"Boss, this wave can be regarded as a rainy day preparation"
"……"
Following the discussion in the barrage!
Ayin also opened the official platform of Yiyu.
Click.
When the platform is opened, a large [Charity Week Event] pop-up window pops up!
Click on the pop-up window to enter the event page.
There are a wide variety of bundles from the top ten participating manufacturers!
And at the top of these bundles, in the most prominent position of the page, is a game cover!
A bright moon hangs above the vast Milky Way. The warm light emanating from the lighthouse on the right side of the picture outlines two embracing shadows.
On the left side of the screen is the name of the game in cursive font:
" To the moon?"
A Yin raised his eyebrows slightly:
"It looks like there really isn't anything like killing monsters. It seems like it's just a game of... finding a partner?"
Although the two figures in the lighthouse are blurry, it is still possible to tell that they are a man and a woman hugging each other.
Galgame (beautiful girl love game)?
But isn’t it too abstract to use a pixel-style art style to make a galgame?
After all, the essence of beautiful girls' love games lies in 'beautiful girls'.
With all these mosaics, who can tell whether the girl is beautiful or not?
A Yin was confused, and the audience had never seen such a strange game before.
With doubts, Ayin clicked to buy.
The price of the game is very reasonable, only 15 yuan, the same price as the previous Vampire Survivor.
And its size is also very small. After all, it is a small pixel-style game, only a few hundred megabytes .
In the blink of an eye!
Game download complete.
"Here we go, let's see what kind of game this is..."
As he spoke, A Yin opened the game.
As the screen went black, a melodious piano sound slowly began to sound.
The melody is soothing, and although it only has two main notes alternating, it magically makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.
It seems to be a natural thing, as clear and pure as a stream, flowing slowly.
hiss--
Ah Yin took a deep breath.
As a professional game anchor, he has played too many games.
It can be said that most game theme songs are not very memorable.
Moreover, there are almost no games willing to use piano accompaniment .
Because in everyone's general impression, video games should be passionate, exciting, and full of electronic adrenaline.
Obviously, piano accompaniment does not meet this requirement, so most games with theme songs basically use electronic music or heavy metal soundtracks.
But going to the moon is different!
Although the game hasn't started yet.
But the background music on the main page alone is enough to catch people's ears and calm their hearts.
So.
Ah Yin, who was originally full of fighting desire, slowly relaxed and found a comfortable position to lean on the gaming chair, with one foot on the chair and the hand holding the controller dropped down and rested on his thigh:
"This game seems to be suitable for quiet play. Let's go in and take a look."
Click [Start Game].
As the gentle and peaceful piano music played, the game screen gradually lit up, like a prelude.
The sea is vast, and seagulls are flying in the sky.
On the shore, a lighthouse watches over the vast sea, watching the alternation of day and night, the coming of spring and autumn, and the ebb and flow of the tide.
And as the picture gradually moves downwards.
A large single-family villa stands on the hill, surrounded by flowers, looking peaceful and restrained.
In the living room of the villa, two children are sitting in front of the piano.
One of the children was playing the piano.
The piano score comes from here.
However, just when everyone was still immersed in the sound of the piano.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a loud crash outside the villa.
The piano music stopped abruptly, and the two children turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from.
"Hey... stop messing around..."
Ah Yin subconsciously pushed off the ground and rolled back half a step in his gaming chair:
"You can't be a horror game, right?"
Seeing this, the audience laughed.
'Ever since my eldest brother started playing PT, everything he sees looks like a horror game'
'It left a psychological shadow'
"This big villa scares everyone."
"Fuck! I didn't even think about that! Now you remind me of Lisa's sad face again..."
"The boss is probably afraid of being attacked by ghosts."
"Don't worry, I don't bother to scare people in such a low-level way."
'It sounded like a car crash'
"……"
indeed.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain, beside the road.
A black sedan was parked in front of a tree, with its hood slightly raised and wisps of green smoke coming out.
"Damn, it's such a wide road and it still hits a tree, what kind of skill is this?"
A Yin was delighted when he saw it:
"Even if you asked Liuliu to drive, it wouldn't be like this. You must have drunk too much. Who drove the car..."
However!
Before he could finish his words.
The car door opened and two pixelated people wearing white coats who looked like researchers jumped out of the car, one man and one woman.
The lady's name is [Dr. Rosa Lien]. She is standing next to the scrapped car, her tone is helpless and complaining:
"Neil, where do you look every time you drive?"
Face the questioning!
A Yin was stunned.
Because he found out that the male researcher was under his control!
"Oh - Draft Brother, I'm driving, right???"
In an instant, the barrage of comments burst into laughter!
"Just now he was grinning with a big grin on his face."
"How dare you mock Liuliu with your driving skills?"
'Don't let the monkey hit the car!'
'You've Got Too Much to Drink'
"……"
Ah Yin scratched his head, feeling amused and helpless, and pressed the handle to answer the female doctor's question:
"Oh... sorry, but I was just trying to heroically avoid the squirrels that suddenly appeared on the road!"
The female doctor looked back at the squirrel that had been crushed beyond recognition on the road:
"... Well done. Although you didn't avoid the squirrel, think on the bright side. Our car didn't run away, didn't it?"
puff--
A Yin couldn't hold it in.
It's so fucking mean and weird, it seems like a weird cliché that a great Yin-Yang master like Lao Zei can design.
After some conversation, A Yin learned that the character he played, Dr. Neil, and the female doctor Rosa Lee En, were from the same company.
The main business of their company is 'memory travel agency'.
To put it simply, it is deep dreaming.
Through professional instruments, they can enter the brain world of the person seeking help, and help them fulfill their wishes by reasonably modifying and implanting their memories.
Currently, this technology is mostly used on critically ill patients.
The greatest role is to help these people fulfill their unfulfilled wishes before they die, so that the patients can die with a smile on their face in a happy ending.
And today!
They received a call for help from the owner of the villa on the top of the mountain and came to help him fulfill his wish.
'It's actually a science fiction theme, quite interesting'
"To put it bluntly, it's a dream maker. It's an interesting profession."
'The old thief always comes up with some tricks'
'Let's go up the mountain and meet the customers first'
'The client should be the pair of shadows in the lighthouse'
"Most likely, I just don't know what the wish is."
'There's always a sense of sadness'
"Ah? No way? The old thief is going to attack again?"
"Who knows..."
While talking!
A Yin also carried the heavy machine, and he and the female doctor arrived at the door of the villa on the top of the mountain, one after the other.
Knock knock knock——
Knock on the door.
After a moment, the door opened.
A woman in an apron opened the door and gestured for the guests to come in.
As Yin carried the heavy equipment into the room, the screen slowly dimmed.
Chapter 1
[“I never told anyone, but… I always thought they were lighthouses”]
"It's a great help that you guys came here so quickly. I'm Lily, the nanny of this family."
The apron lady named Lily was very happy to see Yin and the others. She patted the heads of the two children playing the piano and said:
“These two are my children.”
"So our client is...your employer?"
A Yin asked.
"Yes, John is my employer," Lily nodded. "He is receiving treatment upstairs now. Please follow me."
A Yin and the female doctor looked at each other, then carried the box up to the second floor.
When they saw the adults going upstairs, the two children chased each other and ran to the piano.
The soft and soothing piano sound rang out again.
In the bedroom on the second floor, they met their client, Old John.
Old John is in his sixties and almost seventy. He is old and frail. At the moment, he is lying on the bed with a heart rate monitor next to him. He looks in very bad condition.
"How is his condition...?"
While setting up the equipment, Yin listened to the female doctor asking the doctor about the situation.
The heart rate monitor was beeping, like a countdown to life.
The doctor shook his head: "The situation is very bad. We will have one or two days at most."
"That's enough time,"
The female doctor then turned to Lily and asked:
"What is his wish?"
Since old John was already dying and was barely keeping his breath with the help of medical equipment, the request could only be conveyed by the nanny Lily.
Lily was silent for a moment:
Then he said, "The moon."
"What?" The female doctor didn't understand: "What moon?"
"He wants to..." Lily began, "He wants to go to the moon."
[Old men nowadays are getting crazier and crazier, aren't they? ]
In the game, Dr. Neil, played by A Yin, complained.
In reality, A Yin couldn't hold back:
"No? Huh? Isn't this a fucking love story? Why does this old man want to be an astronaut???"
