Cleared all levels!
"marvelous--"
Looking at the reappearing game cover, Ma Chachong breathed a sigh of relief!
A tear-jerking script!
A well-made ending song that makes people exclaim that it’s a big name!
And the little easter eggs that are so sweet that they’re intoxicating!
In fact!
In Lao Sao's opinion, the game "To the Moon" seems to have gone beyond the scope of games!
It's actually more like an interactive movie.
Try to let the audience feel the emotion while being immersed in the game.
and!
Since the game is told entirely in flashback form, the real mystery is only revealed at the end.
This makes "To the Moon" full of fun to play for the second time!
Because when you already know the truth, all the clues hidden in this game will become touching points.
Players will understand Xiaoxi, understand her persistence, understand her intentions, and will also empathize with her pain that cannot be expressed in words.
but!
Lao Sao is not going to play anymore.
This thing is too powerful, I can’t stand it at all.
When you feel stressed and want to cry and vent, take it out and play with it.
"Well, friends,"
Thinking of this, Lao Sao put down the controller and closed the game while saying:
"That's about it for today's livestream. It was a very moving game. I haven't cried this much in a long, long time. Sorry to have made a fool of myself."
"Also, this game is a charity game, so I would like to appeal to everyone to buy one if you have the ability."
"This is not an advertisement. I didn't take any promotional actions. I am just talking about the quality of the game."
"As for games, watching them is quite different from playing them."
"For example, although this game is mainly plot-based, some of the small details and puzzles in it are actually quite interesting,"
“Recommend everyone to buy it.”
The fair evaluation of the horse fork naturally aroused a positive response from the audience.
'I've already bought it. I was thinking of watching the video and then playing it again myself, but now I've decided not to.'
'Hahahahaha me too, I feel even more deeply if I watch it again, I guess I won't be able to bear it even more by the end'
"Play to the end? You can't play to the end. You will collapse when you see Xiaoxi take out the yellow and blue rabbit for the first time!"
"Indeed, playing the game again knowing the ending is like swimming in a pile of knives."
'I can't play at all, I really can't play at all'
"Watch it once in reverse chronological order, and then play it again in chronological order, and you'll probably cry your eyes out."
"I have to buy it. I can not play but I can not live without..."
"……"
Looking at the discussions on the barrage, Lao Sao also smiled and waved towards the camera:
"Okay, today's live broadcast ends here. I'm going to calm down. I'm Lao Sao. We'll continue at the same time tomorrow..."
However!
Before he finishes!
As the game was closed, a pop-up window popped up.
Interrupted his next spell.
"Why?"
The horse fork worm was stunned.
The pop-up window is in the form of a letter.
The background of the envelope is the moon and the lighthouse, which is very beautiful, and his ID is written on the envelope.
"What is this?"
Ma Chachong took his mouse back from the button to end the streaming, and prepared to finish reading the letter before ending the stream.
salad.
As the envelope was opened, there was a slight sound, and the letter paper spread out on the screen——
【To all players】
It is a great honor to be able to participate in this charity week event.
On this special day, Golden Wind Games would like to express our sincerest care and concern to all friends like River who suffer from autism and other mental illnesses through this humble work.
You are like shining lighthouses. Although you are far away from each other, you still warm the world with your light.
Although there are no words, the pure light in my heart is eternal.
Special thanks to @JJLin for lending his voice to the ending song "Want to See You, Want to See You, Want to See You" for this film.
His noble spirit is admirable.
At the same time, Golden Wind hereby specially announces that all sales of this work during the Charity Week event will be donated free of charge to @China Charity Public Welfare Foundation.
This will help more "star children" to shine brightly again and embrace a new life.
Finally, on behalf of Golden Wind Games, the chief game designers SamGu & MiiaShen would like to thank you for your purchase and play.
Your kind gesture will help more people in need.
——GoldenWind Games
【yours truly】
hiss--!!!
Read the letter from beginning to end!
Lao Sao couldn't help but gasp!
“Oh my god…”
Lao Sao was confused, and he read it again carefully. After confirming that he was not mistaken, he exclaimed:
"I rely on them... not..."
"I remember that for this charity week event, didn't they donate 10%-15% of the total profits?"
"Golden Wind's entire wave... is being donated?"
"Or...sales?"
Lao Sao is stupid!
The audience was stunned for just a few seconds, and then exploded instantly!
'Oh my god! Donate all!'
'Xiao Huang, this is too fierce!'
'Sales! Not profits! In other words, we don't even need to pay for the cost of the small coptis chinensis, and all the income from the first week will be donated!'
“Oh my god…”
"This is purely for charity! You don't want anything in return?"
"Yes, but I will donate all the sales from the first week."
"Fuck, that's ridiculous! This kind of game relies on first-week sales to make up the bulk of its sales!"
'All profits from the first week will be donated, which means Xiao Huang doesn't make any money at all, and every penny we spend on buying the game will be used for charity to do good deeds for ourselves?'
"If you're talking about charity, I may not be interested, but if you're talking about doing good deeds, I'll definitely buy it."
"I spend fifteen dollars to do good deeds for myself, and I can also get a piece of art-level game for free?"
"Eh? What the hell? That seems to be the truth?"
"You know how to convert! No more words! Get up and turn on the computer! Buy it!"
"I have to buy this!"
'Go, go, go!'
"Xiao Huang, if you say that, I won't be polite!"
"……"
The player community was in an uproar!!!
If you say!
In terms of game quality, To the Moon is a well-made, thoughtful, and top-notch pixel story game work of art!
Then after this letter to the players, its nature is sublimated!
The feat of donating all the funds to charity has obviously broken the players' inherent impression of Charity Week!
This "wild" form of charity makes it the most dazzling pearl shining in the long river of charity games!
That’s it!
This is a small-scale game with a small investment and a production cost of 500,000!
Embark on your own journey to becoming a god!
…
The next morning!
In the office of the president of Golden Wind Games.
Shen Miaomiao was reading many reviews online while drinking porridge and eating breakfast.
In just one night, To the Moon became the most discussed game of the entire charity week with an unparalleled attitude.
No doubt about it.
At the same time, the Golden Wind Charity Package has become the undisputed sales champion.
Because many players are saying that "going to the moon to sell all the iron donations will result in losses", so they need to "buy more Golden Wind bundles" to help Xiao Huang make more money.
He's a pretty nice guy.
It can also be seen that Golden Wind now has an excellent reputation among the player community.
As for the media, they naturally all gave it high praise.
Some media outlets have commented on To the Moon from the perspective of the plot: This is a work that deeply reflects the designer's ability to shape the script. The flashback technique itself is complex. Once there is any mistake in the middle, it will cause the overall plot to be incoherent or even completely collapse. However, To the Moon does not have this technique. Not only that, it also makes full use of the flashback technique to raise the suspense of the story to an unprecedented height! If we only look at the script, the sophistication of To the Moon is even higher than that of Titanfall!
Some media praised the charity sales, commenting that it is a pure "charity game". We are very glad to see the current status of Golden Wind. They know that their success is inseparable from the support of the society, and they are more aware of the social responsibility they should take! Whether it is the characters designed specifically for disabled players in Titanfall, or the special attention paid to the autistic group in this trip to the moon, Golden Wind's attention to and feedback to the society is always worth learning from and studying by other manufacturers.
certainly!
Some media also commented from the perspective of designers - surprise! For me , the surprise brought by going to the moon was even greater than the touching moment! When MiiaShen's name appeared at the end of the credits, I screamed almost to the extreme! Although it can be seen that Miia was produced under the guidance of Sam in many places, it is still very exciting news for the Chinese game industry that the president of a game company can personally participate in the design of a game!
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
But Shen Miaomiao was so happy!
He shook his head and tail, danced in his boss chair, hummed the little tune "I Want to See You" and slurped his porridge.
Looked at the time.
It's almost half past nine.
"The first day's results are not available yet, but the twelve-hour sales can tell us something to a certain extent."
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao picked up her phone:
"Sister Chuchu, please check our current sales volume..."
But that’s all I have to say.
Then there was a knock on the office door.
Knock knock knock——
Chu Qingzhou's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Shen, is it convenient?"
"Oh, come in,"
Shen Miaomiao put down her phone and asked Chu Qingzhou to come in and sit down:
"I was just about to send you a message to check sales, what happened?"
Chu Qingzhou looked serious, and there seemed to be some shock in his eyes:
"Boss Shen, we've been called."
"Roll call?"
Shen Miaomiao didn't react for a moment:
"Who named you? What did you name?"
"Please take a seat first."
Chu Qingzhou stretched out his hand and motioned Shen Miaomiao to sit firmly.
"You are... exaggerating, Sister Chuchu..."
Shen Miaomiao didn't know what news Chu Qingzhou brought and looked suspicious.
However, he subconsciously adjusted his sitting posture and nodded:
"Okay, I'm ready, can you please start your performance?"
“Ahem!”
Chu Qingzhou cleared his throat, sat in an elegant and decent posture, opened the minutes book, and said loudly:
"This morning, in the sixth edition of the Huaxia Daily, in the Culture and Entertainment section, a commentator's article was published—"
"Practicing charity and shouldering social responsibilities, staying true to our original aspirations and writing a colorful chapter"
"——From the phenomenal response of "Going to the Moon" to the new era, we can see the new development of national enterprises"
"The article points out that the game industry, as a new era industry that has started to develop in recent years in my country, is in a period of rapid development. Today, Golden Wind Games, as a rising star in China's emerging industries, has been able to remain true to its original aspirations and mission in the midst of rapid development, keeping social welfare in mind, and daring to take on social responsibilities and obligations. It has played a leading role as a model for emerging enterprises in all walks of life. Its general manager, Shen Miaomiao, has taken root in the industry, dared to practice, forged ahead, dug deep into the industry's potential, and explored new ideas for the development of the industry..."
ha--?!!!
Fortunately, Shen Miaomiao held on firmly!
Otherwise you will slide off the chair!
What is this?!
Commentator article?!
Huaxia Daily commentator article? !
This is so...
This level is a bit too high!
I can’t hold on any longer!
Don’t forget your original intention and keep your mission in mind… Be brave to shoulder your responsibilities and forge ahead…
Shen Miaomiao felt her hair standing up!
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute, Sister Chuchu... Please stop for a moment, I feel a little dizzy..."
Shen Miaomiao quickly stopped Chu Qingzhou's news report:
“Is this… true or false?”
"Tsk,"
Chu Qingzhou rolled his eyes:
"My dear little aunt, you really think highly of me. Even if I were brave enough, would I ever play such a joke on you?"
Talking.
Then Chu Qingzhou handed over the minutes book.
The above is a printout of the commentator's article.
The words are written in black and white, and are powerful!
Shen Miaomiao just felt that this report was getting more and more popular the more she read it!
"No, no, no, no !"
Numb:
"Isn't that necessary? I just...just want to make a donation..."
Shen Miaomiao's tone was a little weak, and her heart was even weaker.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean it! I didn't expect this to cause such a stir!
I have a selfish thought. I want to use the system to enrich my own small treasury. I am guilty. I am guilty. I will apologize.
While muttering remorse in her heart, Shen Miaomiao carefully read the commentator's article again.
The more I watch, the more frightened I become!
It’s a big fortune!
But think about it!
Shen Miaomiao also frowned slightly in shock.
I always feel that this matter is not that simple?
yes!
My generous donation was unprecedented in the history of Charity Week, the quality of Going to the Moon was high, and the players gave it rave reviews.
but……
Isn't it a bit outrageous that this was directly published in a commentary article?
This is a commentator's article!
It is almost the most important form of short review in China Daily!
Although electronic publications are not as powerful as paper publications!
But it seems that it is not up to the level of Golden Wind and Shen Miaomiao!
even!
If Huayu Entertainment and Jiang Yingcai relied on their own strength, they might not be able to achieve this!
In that case...
Shen Miaomiao rolled her eyes, took a screenshot of the electronic publication, and waved her hand:
"Sister Chuchu, let me digest it first. I...I will study it carefully and understand the spirit..."
Puff——
Chu Qingzhou couldn't help laughing and stood up:
"Then I'll leave first. Call me if you have anything."
"Uh-huh……"
Shen Miaomiao nodded, then picked up the phone and dialed a number.
beep--
beep--
beep--
The phone rang a few times before being picked up. A middle-aged man's voice sounded on the other end of the line:
"Hello, what's up, little one?"
