This game is awesome

Chapter 7 [Video Release]

This kind of text video does not require high technical skills, but Gu Qingshi finished it quickly.

She originally wanted to release it on all platforms, but after careful consideration, she only chose "Pilipa La Video Network".

On the one hand, this platform, which is mostly populated by young people, has a large number of potential users.

On the other hand, most of the people on this platform are of the same age, so she has no psychological burden to respond to and argue with them...

Gu Qingshi is ready to face the coming storm of public opinion.

However, she is not prepared to be a silent god.

The video needed to be reviewed before it could be sent out, so Gu Qingshi stopped paying attention to it and instead called Li Xiaomeng.

She calculated the time, and if nothing unexpected happened, Li Xiaomeng should have started making the demo.

Thanks to the rapid development of AI technology, the cost of game development has been reduced to an extremely low level. In the past, it took hundreds of people several years to develop a game, but now even a small team of a dozen people can mass-produce 3A games.

This is also the reason why Gu Qingshi dared to let Li Xiaomeng develop the new version alone within the month.

Li Xiaomeng sent Gu Qingshi some pictures of the actual game to indicate that he had already started working on it.

One is the initial interface for selecting a country, and the other is the mission tree for Great Britain in 1836.

In the game, Great Britain has the most prominent position, so Bao Long and Cheng Wenxin both chose to work on the Great Britain part first.

Li Xiaomeng's program also respects their choices.

"Everyone is working so hard! After the game is released, everyone's salary will be increased by one level."

“Grow bigger and stronger, and create greater glory.”

In the group of Fanxing Studio, Gu Qingshi continued to paint a rosy picture for the employees.

It doesn't matter if there are a lot of cakes, but if they are useful. Gu Qingshi chose to shut up amidst a string of 666 replies, and quickly ran to bed and started to sleep.

...........

At 3 a.m., the video passed review.

Normally, videos uploaded late at night don’t get many views, but this video quickly exceeded 50,000 views in just three hours.

A video with such low technical skills and an unknown author unexpectedly became popular.

The intelligent algorithm of Pilipala Video Network quickly captured this popular video late at night and then made content recommendations to a large number of users.

When Gu Qingshi was still sleeping soundly at eight o'clock, the number of views of this video had exceeded 300,000 and was heading towards 500,000.

There's no way, the title of this video is too impactful.

18 years old, female high school student, currently studying, taking a leave of absence, managing a game studio...

What could be a popular gimmick on Earth's chaotic and evil Internet is even more explosive in this era of the Internet as pure as a white lotus.

The comment section of the video is as lively as a vegetable market. With 30 views, it has over 6000 comments, ranking first on the popular list. If this popularity continues, it will definitely be recommended on the homepage.

The editor of Pilipala is also very dedicated. As soon as he got to work, he immediately pulled up this video and recommended it on the homepage.

When the video is opened, it is just white text on a black background.

"I am 18 years old and studying at a girls' high school. Three years ago, I had a dream of making games. Two years later, I decided to temporarily drop out of school and run Fanxing Studio to fight for my dream!"

The classic gimmick of internet celebrities to attract traffic gave netizens a little shock.

The basis for a video to become popular is the topic, the best topic is controversy, and the core of controversy is emotion.

Whether or not a gimmick can arouse the audience's emotions is the most important criterion for testing a gimmick. Among all the gimmicks that Gu Qingshi has seen, the ability to arouse emotions of dropping out of school at the age of 16 to make games is not the highest.

The gimmick that amazed her the most was “A Warrior Charging for Love”.

The combination of him working at the grassroots level, being cheated on, and the woman cheating on him multiple times, aroused the sympathy of most people. It also happened to coincide with the online topic of extreme feminism. The timing and location were perfect.

The final reversal completely sublimated the farce. No matter how many clown masks the spectators wore, there was no doubt that the traffic was in place.

Of course, the fact that the game has become so popular on the chaotic Chinese Internet cannot be underestimated as it has aroused the emotions of “dropping out of school to make games”.

As expected, the comment section below exploded.

"Here we go again, treating game development as a game of house. The last time I saw someone doing something like this, the grass on his grave was five meters high..."

"Ask the people above if they have a link so I can go and have some fun."

"I checked this Starry Studio. Could it be the War Mad Studio that developed "Industry: 1800"?"

"Oh my god, is what the above person said true or not? In what era are they still advocating for war? Anyone understand me, please tell me?"

"It's true. I played their game. It was a bunch of crap."

"Listen to my advice, little sister, you have a talent for marketing, so change your career as soon as possible."

"Eighteen-year-old high school student?"

"Seven days off from school, is this true? I'm fishing, Sima."

"Going to college and not going to college are two completely different things. How much connections, vision, resources, and information can a high school student like you get? Of course, if your family has a mine, just treat it as nonsense."

"Did no one notice that we were on leave for seven days?"

"It must be fake. How can a high school student apply for studio qualifications..."

"Go back upstairs. I really found the Starry Studio."

"Niu Niu Niu, you take game development as a joke? You even took seven days off from school to make games? Please, go to school. Here, listen to me: In May this year, go to the Higher Education Network to find the entry for college entrance examination registration. Yes, the one with the red enlargement. Click on it and fill in your name. See, it's very simple, right?"

"Let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate..."

“Escape is packaged as chasing a dream. I feel so sad for your parents.”

"One look at the clown."

Everyone's not very aggressive, but that's not bad either.

Gu Qingshi woke up at around nine o'clock, smiling brightly, and ran out of bed humming a little tune without putting on any clothes.

Thanks to the fact that Gu Qingshi deliberately downplayed the fact of "seven days", most of the audience were attracted by the word "taking a leave of absence from school". This time the traffic was very successful and no one noticed that she was taking a seven-day leave.

There were over 999 private messages, one third of which advised her to go back to study, one third were sarcastic, and one third were pranksters, liars, and hooligans.

Gu Qingshi has already prepared the next video, and the promotional video is also ready, but the heat is still brewing and the bullet still needs to fly for a while.

Chapter 8 [Sharp Comments]

Far away in Alfalfa Garden Street in Tianjin, Qinyuan in Plum Blossom Villa.

On this day, Luo Wenxiu was worried about video materials as usual.

He is a self-media worker, or in the terminology of Pilipala Video Network, he is a UP master.

Luo Wenxiu is quite famous in the game section of Pilipala Video Network, but unlike his peers who do game live streaming and reviews, he made his fortune by discovering unpopular games.

As games are now too homogenized, Luo Wenxiu set his sights on some old games and games from unknown small studios, including "Industry: 1800" from Fanxing Studio.

He gave this "epic piece of shit" a freshness rating of 4 out of 100.

After opening the author's backstage, Luo Wenxiu suddenly saw that his private messages were full, and he was immediately confused.

He hasn't updated for several days, why are so many people still sending him private messages?

"One person wrote in blood asking Luo Rui to comment on the 18-year-old female high school student who dropped out of school to make games."

"Lao Luo, the Fanxing Studio you reviewed last month has made a comeback!"

"It's explosive, it's explosive! Lao Luo, hurry up and check the trending search list, I'm looking for materials for you!"

"What does Lao Luo think about dropping out of school to make games?"

......

Luo Wenxiu was stunned by this string of private messages. How come so many things popped up after he had only slept for a night?

Luo Wenxiu quickly opened the hot search list and immediately saw the number one search result, "I, an 18-year-old female high school student, want to have something big this time."

Luo Wenxiu took a look and found that it had been posted ten hours ago and had been viewed 94 times.

He exclaimed in his heart, "Awesome!" and quickly clicked on it to start watching.

A chat history picture appeared in the black screen:

Homeroom teacher: "School will start at 9 am tomorrow, and there will be a school-wide exam on Wednesday. Please don't be late."

The picture faded out quickly, and a series of white words switched rapidly.

"Hey, classmate, why didn't you come..."

"Your problem is very serious..."

"Classmate's parents can't do whatever Gu wants."

The text fades out and turns into an inner monologue.

“I want to ask what is the purpose of reading?”

"Serving the society or pursuing money"

“Why not try something different?”
