Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 300 The Second Surprise

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chen bowed slightly.

There were no superfluous words, no sentimental slogans.

But the entire convention center erupted in applause and cheers that were more intense and longer than ever before.

Zhao Ming sat in the chair, his brows furrowed. Regardless of whether this was selling nostalgia or not.

However, domestic players still really liked Chu Chen's approach.

National pride is a vague concept, but domestically produced games are domestically produced games, and foreign games are foreign games.

Although they are all games, the evaluation and standards were completely different for a long time.

Not to mention, Chu Chen's approach wasn't just about selling nostalgia. Just when everyone thought the short film was over, Chu Chen gave the players a new surprise.

"Just now, Mr. Zhao from Tencent gave everyone a surprise before he left the stage."

Hearing Chu Chen say this.

Everyone in the audience instinctively exclaimed, "Oh!!???"

After all, this statement is basically the same as Lei Jun's "We persuaded the executives overnight," which is obviously just trying to whet everyone's appetite.

Because too many people unconsciously make sounds.

Chu Chen was interrupted by this "oh" sound halfway through his sentence.

Everyone in the audience was eagerly anticipating what Xingchen would bring out, but the Tencent representatives were so furrowed their brows they could practically hold a piece of paper between their fingers.

Although Chu Chen did not expect Tencent to launch a price war, he dared to stand on the stage today and compete with Tencent, so he was not completely unprepared.

rather say.

When Zhao Ming mentioned a maximum discount of 50%, the media frantically took photos of him.

But Chu Chen actually wanted to laugh a little.

If price wars could win the market, EPIC wouldn't be in such a bad situation. Keep in mind that EPIC doesn't just offer conditional 50% off coupons; they give away games directly.
They kept sending them for several years.

Ultimately, subsidies can indeed attract a lot of users, but the number of users does not equal success. The case of App Store, which had 3 million users, still failed is still fresh in our minds.

Tencent, however, still chose this path, which can only be described as path dependence.

Game platform, game platform.

Ultimately, it all comes down to games.

Even if we don't aim to dominate the world, it would be great to achieve first-party exclusivity like Nintendo.

Therefore, Chu Chen's preparations didn't concern him with what Tencent was doing, nor did he delve into the details of Project Stars, knowing that players weren't interested in those things at all.

When gamers watch a press conference, there's only one thing they're interested in: the game!

"I also have a surprise for everyone here!"

As Chu Chen finally uttered the second half of his sentence, the giant screen behind him instantly went dark.

The entire venue quickly erupted in deafening cheers, and the live chat was flooded with comments like, "There are still experts!!"

After about two or three seconds, the screen fell into a deep darkness and silence.

Everyone held their breath.

Zhao Ming's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. An ominous premonition began to spread in his heart.

In the darkness, the Starry Night Games logo lit up and then disappeared, followed by a sound.

It was neither a stirring symphony nor a traditional folk music ensemble.

Instead, it was a gust of wind.

The whistling sound of the wind cutting through the deep valley mingled with the distant, solemn tolling of a bell from an ancient temple.

clang--

Immediately following was a series of faint, metallic scraping sounds.

Like a battle-hardened blade being slowly drawn from its sheath. *Clang—*

The screen lit up.

That wasn't CG animation, but real game engine rendered footage. Amidst the cheers from the audience and the barrage of comments, a delicate girl in a white dress stood on a green grassland. The white clouds in the sky reflected on the grass, creating distinct light and shadow.

The girl was not under the clouds, so the sunlight shone directly on her through the blue sky, making her look exceptionally lovely.

Below the shadow of the white clouds, a group of soldiers dressed in nomadic-style clothing, armed with spears and bows, watched the girl warily.

As the wind rustles the grass, the camera shifts from animation to a classic 2.5D game perspective.

A cute girl in the sunlight, an evil soldier in the shadows—they seem to be from completely different worlds, and something seems about to happen.

The nomadic soldiers, wary of the girl in white, hesitated to charge, instead drawing their bows and arrows, attempting to eliminate her from a distance.

Dozens of arrows pierced the air and shot towards the girl in white. Despite the perilous situation, the girl showed no fear. With a flick of her hand, a golden dragon faintly appeared to circle around her.

She blocked all the long arrows, and then with a delicate shout, the arrows shattered into dust.

The fierce expressions on the faces of the nomadic soldiers froze.

The girl in white did not stop.

Her petite figure suddenly rushed forward, and golden light flashed. The golden dragon phantom that had been protecting her earlier became even more solid.

The sound of a dragon's roar could be faintly heard.

The girl's clothes were still cute, and her appearance remained adorable.

But the moment she stepped into the enemy ranks, every move she made contained an overwhelming and unstoppable power. The golden dragon appeared and disappeared in her palm, as if it had become one with her.

She simply waved her hand.

A slender arm emitted a golden glow, and several soldiers at the front were sent flying backward uncontrollably, crashing to the ground with muffled groans.

She struck again.

The palm strike was fierce, and the air crackled slightly.

Those who stand in their way are utterly defeated.

With a single swing and a single palm strike, he truly possessed the imposing aura of a single man holding the pass against ten thousand.

"ah!??"

Is this a martial arts anime? Or an anime-style martial arts story?

"Holy crap, I really like this white-haired lady!"

"Is this Little Dragon Girl?"

"Little Dragon Girl, does your Little Dragon Girl know the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?"

The density of bullet comments increased several times over, and the media reporters who were already scrolling through their phones sat up straight immediately. Chen Mo even snapped a few photos with his phone and sent them to the gamers' group.

"Quickly search the Starry Sky official website, find information, and publish news!!"

Those in the know understand that although Starry Sky Games just released three new games, those were collaborative works by Starry Sky Games, not individual works by Starry Sky Games.

Whether or not to unite, the difference is enormous.

A work by Starry Sky Games.

Back to the press conference.

Almost the instant the twin-tailed martial arts girl appeared, the editors at GamerSky Studio sat up straight, and Chen Mo even shouted out loud.

"Quickly search the Starry Sky official website, find information, and publish news!!"

"Hurry up!"

However, most players looked completely bewildered.

As the animation ended, the game screen went dark, followed by a melodious wooden flute sound, and the logo of "Floating Dreams" appeared.
