Shen Qinghan's eyebrows twitched.
Seeing Zhao Ming act as if he was doing it for the players' benefit.
If she hadn't played it, she would have actually believed this guy's nonsense.
But... I have to say.
This kind of outrageous gameplay has never appeared on Blue Star before, and it can indeed attract a large number of people.
Especially since it can ignite a sense of defiance in the players' hearts.
Even she was so angry that she played for a whole morning.
But she just kept dying and lost her temper.
However, with this gameplay... Shen Qinghan could already imagine how many people would curse Zhao Ming after the game was released.
Shen Qinghan stopped dwelling on it and said:
"Anyway, it's your game, as long as you know what you're doing."
"But."
"For this Normandy Landing scenario, can players really succeed?"
"What are the conditions?"
Zhao Ming rubbed his chin and said:
"As for the conditions..."
"As long as there is good cooperation and they survive on the beach for 20 minutes."
"The arranged subsequent support will arrive."
"Airplanes will bomb half of the machine gun nests on the beach. As long as there are enough surviving players after twenty minutes who can eliminate the remaining Empire defenders on the beach, it will be considered a game victory."
"Isn't it simple?"
Simple?
Shen Qinghan was a bit speechless.
With the difficulty you've set, half the players will be dead before they even get off the landing craft.
Where is that simple?
Shen Qinghan shook her head, then thought of something and asked:
"Are there any other dungeons?"
"This one is too difficult."
"I'll try others."
According to the background story at the start of the game.
This game should have more than just one battle. The Normandy Landing is so difficult, it must be due to the environment. Surely not all battles are this difficult?
Zhao Ming's movements paused, then he spread his hands and said helplessly:
"That's it."
"Making this one dungeon plus various rules in one night is already good."
"Over the next few days, I plan to continue optimizing this dungeon and check for any loopholes."
"Subsequent dungeons and game content will depend on the performance after release."
"The current difficulty of this dungeon is enough to torture... no... to keep players busy for a while."
It wasn't that Zhao Ming didn't want to make more.
It was simply that he didn't have enough emotion points.
World War II affected the entire world, and the stories and events that occurred are countless. Relying solely on the current hype, he could at most create a Normandy Landing, and even that is a cut-down version.
Later, after the game is launched, he needs to quickly update and improve the game once he gains more emotion points.
Zhao Ming's idea is to follow the timeline, making some parts into immersive story experiences, and turning some large-scale battles into dungeons like Normandy Landing, Stalingrad Battle, etc....
On holidays, he can also update with some large-scale national war dungeons that all players can participate in, such as Blitzkrieg Poland, Defense of Berlin, etc.
Letting players act as Polish soldiers resisting the Empire's invasion, or as Empire soldiers defending the Capital Berlin.
Just thinking about it is exciting.
A smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of Zhao Ming's mouth.
Looking at Zhao Ming's smile.
Shen Qinghan inexplicably felt a sense of malice.
What kind of nasty thing did this guy think of to show such an evil smile?!
"Since there are no other dungeons."
"Then keep working on this one, but this game... never mind."
"Although it's a bit of an exploit of the Anti-War Competition."
"But if you insist it's an anti-war game, there's no problem."
"After all, the central idea is to let players experience the cruelty of war, thereby achieving the goal of anti-war."
"But it needs to be packaged properly."
"And create some buzz to attract public attention."
"Send me everything you can currently organize, and I'll find a team to package it."
"Put a countdown on the official website."
"Release the game after the competition starts, otherwise, it's easy for some parents to report it for removal."
Zhao Ming had no objection:
"Okay."
"I'll package and send you the current game's main storyline, the main body of the game, and the CG later."
Shen Qinghan's influence was much greater than his. The people and teams she found for packaging would definitely be fine. There was no problem with the game being listed, so all that was left was game optimization. Zhao Ming was thinking about how to optimize it.
Shen Qinghan spoke up:
"Oh, right."
"Are you still going to continue working on cyber blue star: 2077? If you are, you must keep the subsequent innovative gameplay and copyrights in your hands."
"If you want to mess with them."
"Don't sell it, no matter how much the Penguin Group offers."
"You can take it out and annoy them from time to time."
Zhao Ming nodded and said:
"Understood."
"Besides, since so much money has been spent, the game has to be launched no matter what. Earn whatever you can."
It was inevitable that the original designer's cyber blue star: 2077 would fail.
However, since it involved the Penguin Group, even some haters who wanted to criticize the Penguin Group would come and play their original version, although perhaps very few.
Most companies that were copied by the Penguin Group in the past went bankrupt and eventually sold their copyrights out of necessity.
Pirated copies became the legitimate version.
Even a small number of stubborn ones couldn't withstand being dragged down by a behemoth like the Penguin Group and were literally dragged to death.
But now, things are a bit different for Zhao Ming.
After playing it, Shen Qinghan also gained confidence in the game Zhao Ming created, Second World War: Rise of the Empire. It is definitely going to be popular, but to what extent is unknown.
However, one thing is certain.
That is, Zhao Ming's side will not die out. Perhaps he can even make a comeback with this game.
Once he makes a comeback.
He will have the Capital to contend with the Penguin Group.
Whenever there's no hype, or when he wants hype, he can stir things up and file a lawsuit.
Just find some internet trolls, and it's about a behemoth like the Penguin Group again.
The hype will immediately return.
However many federal currency he was ripped off, he will get it back through this hype in the future.
—
At this moment.
Penguin Group Headquarters.
Xu Huan, the head of the game department.
Sat in front of the computer, looking at the Polaris Games official website.
Scrolling up and down.
He felt that something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
The total Capital of Polaris Games is only sixty million federal currency, isn't it?
They've already spent over fifty-eight million.
Where did they get this game from?
Moreover, knowing they were copied, they remained so calm, not having a breakdown like other producers, but instead maintaining a silent attitude, which made Xu Huan feel a vague sense of unease.
Just then.
A knock on the office door sounded:
"Supervisor, I'm back."
Hearing his subordinate's voice, Xu Huan said:
"Come in."
"How is Hao Wen doing?"
The subordinate had a strange expression:
"Uh... I didn't see him."
"I heard from the nurses at the hospital that Hao Wen has already been admitted."
"Although Hao Wen signed a contract with us, and we paid his breach of contract fee and compensation."
"But Polaris Company has no intention of asking for compensation at all."
"They are insisting that Hao Wen leaked secrets, causing the company a loss of over fifty million federal currency."
"With that amount, he'll get at least twenty years."
