This game is awesome

Li Xiaomeng also learned a lot from Gu Qingshi and tricked seven or eight college students into doing numbers for him.

It's true that these college students work really hard, and they sell themselves to Li Xiaomeng to count the money. They call her "senior sister" all the time and do everything they can to get internship certificates and volunteer hours.

These students from the School of Finance were also quite talented in numerical work and did not hinder the development progress at all.

Li Xiaomeng got a month's salary for free and she would wake herself up laughing when she went to bed at night.

By the end of September, the game's DEMO had taken shape.

Subsequent testing and launch will also be carried out.

The studio has organized a week-long testing campaign, which has basically eliminated the most serious bugs, and Li Xiaomeng is having a blast playing the game.

Whether or not we can avenge the shame of "Industry: 1800" depends on this moment.

As the chief planner, An Yan was really worried about the game.

If this game fails, she as the chief planner will bear the main responsibility, and it will be extremely difficult for her to continue working in the industry.

"Boss, do you want to arrange an update?"

An Yan asked on the phone.

Although Gu Qingshi was heartless, she was unusually serious on the important day of the game's launch and took three days off to focus on the game.

"Let's do a beta test first, and send invitations to well-known game review media and players who have bought "Industrial: 1800" before. Don't rush to launch the game, Sister An, you have to have confidence in our game. According to the stripping effect, we have to attract the players' attention first, and release information bit by bit to slowly whet their appetite."

Gu Qingshi made up some nonsense and asked An Yan to invite self-media people and players to review it.

On the one hand, it is to let players help him test bugs, and on the other hand, it is also to establish his own reputation, clear his innocence and get back on track.

After that, it depends on hard power.

After the demo was completed, Gu Qingshi played it several times by herself. The gameplay is exactly the same as "Victoria 3", but certain modifications were made to the market mechanism and technology tree of "Victoria 3" to extend the life of the game.

But as for the specific content, I can only say that the difference is quite big.

Whether it is the screen, UI, or various events, they are all very different.

Although Gu Qingshi's plan was clearly written and detailed, wanting to completely replicate "Victoria 3" can only be said to be a pipe dream.

From idea to text and then to implementation, too much information is lost in the layers of transformation.

Gu Qingshi pointed at Cheng Meigong's nose and said to her: "I want a picture of a crowd cheering on the street in the late 19th century and early 20th century, with such and such effects, such and such characters, and so on."

Cheng Wenxin would definitely be confused and draw a picture that is completely different from what Gu Qingshi expected.

The content of Gu Qingshi's plan was focused on the design ideas, and it would be impossible for her to recount the entire picture of the game without any effort.

But fortunately, everything went as planned.

This game isn't bad.

......

......

"Wow, that's awesome! Fanxing Studio asked me to do game testing. They are very confident in their game."

In the group that had been silent for a long time, Luo Wenxiu was suddenly shocked by this news.

Their group called "Pilipa La Wubai Fei" was organized by several big UPs in the gaming area, and the one who just spoke in the group was a big UP with millions of fans.

"Oh my god, this is fresh material. Please invite me to the Star Studio. I promise to say less negative things."

"You know what? I was invited, too."

"Fanxing Studio has published a post, and we have basically invited all the UPs in the game area. Do you know any of the remaining ones?"

"I'll go check it out..."

Luo Wenxiu quickly took a look at the screenshot sent by the group, and saw that he was on the six-line long invitation list.

"I know Lin Guang, the editor of the GAMEJOY game review platform, but who is Zheng Gong?"

"The one that writes lime chant?"

“That’s Zeng Gong.”

"Hey, are you talking about the crosstalk teacher?"

"That's Feng Gong..."

Seeing his group members doing something funny, Luo Wenxiu suddenly remembered that there seemed to be an old man named Zheng Gong in his alma mater, so he asked directly in the group: "Could it be the old professor from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics?"

"Hahahaha, Lao Luo has a very rich imagination!"

"What are you doing, Professor, inviting people to make games? Lao Luo, you must have searched secretly on the browser without telling your brothers (annoying)!"

"So do you want to be a free testing labor force?"

"Of course I'll go. Why not use the free material? I can publish another issue of Sharp Comments."

"Ye Zi Lao has such a vicious mind, I followed it. Next time Ye Zi Lao starts a group, remember to bring me in for a joint release."

The big guys in the group came up one by one, and some small-scale UPs also repeated their speeches.

"The quality of their promotional video is good, but we are professionals and we will not surrender just because of her promotional video."

"Don't even mention the publicity. After what Fanxing did, the industry's reputation has been greatly reduced. Now when I go out and tell others that I'm a game developer, people advise me not to lead children astray..."

Luo Wenxiu glanced at the speaker and laughed.

This person is not a UP in the gaming area, but the chief planner of a well-known gaming studio. After sneaking into the group, this guy tried to use money to buy promotion and unscrupulous reviews, but was ruthlessly exposed by the big guy in the group.

This guy still has the nerve to stay in the group. It's true that the meanest people are invincible.

Sure enough, as soon as this guy spoke, several big guys turned off their microphones, and only a few who were not clear about it were still following the group.

"Isn't Fanxing doing this just for traffic? They want to take advantage of others' mistakes. And they even made a unique promotional video, focusing all their efforts on publicity. I'm afraid it's just a sham. They even made a niche game, which shows that they're afraid the quality will be too poor and they're just using the genre to make a statement."

"Have you said that?"

"If Fanxing is really capable, why don't they make an orthodox RPG? If they are really capable, wouldn't they be able to get recommendations from the platforms easily? Why would they resort to such unorthodox methods?"

The chief planner was very disdainful of the gimmicky publicity and promotion of Fanxing Studio.

In fact, it's not just him, most people think so.

Today, the gaming industry is a blue ocean, and has been dubbed a "high-tech industry" by the authorities, so it is very innocent.

We are all innocent people. How can we lower our status and do things like "shocking" and "gimmicky" like third-rate tabloids? That would only pollute our own selves.

Even Luo Wenxiu felt that the publicity and promotion by Fanxing Studio was a bit cheap.

But everyone knows clearly that promotion and marketing are promotion and marketing, and quality is quality. The specific results will still be determined by quality.

Luo Wenxiu opened a mainstream game publishing platform and entered the name "Victoria".

Immediately, the platform automatically read the activation code he had just copied, but after about ten minutes, the screen went black!

After a series of gear-gritting sounds, there was a click, and the "Fanxing Studio" logo came into view.

Chapter 14 [Don’t you have weapons?]

The logo of Fanxing Studio flashed by, and then soothing yet majestic music sounded.

“This composition is quite interesting.”

Luo Wenxiu stared at the picture on the loading page in stunned silence.

On a busy street, a man and a woman are smiling.

It was a very Victorian oil painting style, and the content was very simple and plain, but Luo Wenxiu was attracted at the first sight.

But before he could watch for long, the game progress bar had already finished loading.

There is no opening animation, nor any fancy options, just a UI with a gold border and a black background, which is elegant and noble, completely different from the glamorous and cheap ones on the market.

All the options on the UI bar except "New Game" were dark, and Luo Wenxiu was confused for a moment.

Wow, you’re in a hurry to release a demo before the UI is even finished? So urgent?

Entering the game, it is still the familiar interface for selecting a country.

In this respect, "Victoria" and "Industrial: 1800" are in the same vein, and there is almost no difference in the game except for the addition of a "recommended country".

Fanxing Studio only recommends two countries, Belgium and Persia.

"Recommend playing a small country?"

Luo Wenxiu found it a little unbelievable. He had tested "Industry: 1800" before and he knew what kind of game it was.

The extremely complex war system and very unfriendly AI mean that even if players control a major power, they may not be able to complete the three-hour refund period.

"I still don't believe in evil, I'll just play the Qing Dynasty."

Luo Wenxiu called up the free play option, and a world map appeared in front of him.

Qing Dynasty, start!

As a UP with deep feelings for his country and family, Luo Wenxiu had long set his sights on the Qing Dynasty.

Although Luo Wenxiu started the game with the mentality of tasting the defense, when the Begonia Leaf Map of 1836 appeared in front of him, Luo Wenxiu couldn't help but get excited.

The 1830s and 1840s are a time that is very familiar to the Chinese people.

The destruction of opium at Humen, the Opium War, the Treaty of Nanjing...the history of humiliation began from then on.

The words "fragile unity" are written in red on the game's mission log, reminding Luo Wenxiu that the country may collapse and split at any time.

【Welcome to the age of progress. 】

[The year is 1836, and Aixinjueluo is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. You have a heavy responsibility to lead the Qing Dynasty to glory in the next hundred years.]

“If I don’t handle this part of history well, I’ll really be criticized,” Luo Wenxiu laughed and continued playing the game according to the tutorial.

Next comes the introduction to the gameplay, the three old strategy game sets of [Politics], [Economy], and [Diplomacy].

Luo Wenxiu didn't care.
