Chapter 34:
"Take me there." Chen Xu stood up, adjusted his clothes, and gestured to his secretary.
...
"Chen, this is the head of the Asia section of the Cologne fair, Sam Mister"
When they came to the reception area, York Lennon stood up with another bearded middle-aged man and introduced to Chen Xu.
Then introduced to Sam Mister.
"This is the talented designer who developed "Battlefield" and is also the chairman and president of Nebula Games, Chen Xu."
"Hello." Chen Xu shook hands with Sam Meister with a smile, and at the same time he knew something in his heart.
The Cologne Game Show came to him, and it must have a lot to do with the ligers on York Lennon's side.
After all, before the release of the new work of "Ayrden's Circle", Chen Xu and the others also communicated with Liger and Tiger.
No surprise, the two sides are still cooperating.
This time is obviously a gift from Liger and Tiger, so that the new work can be better promoted overseas.
After a brief introduction, three people were seated, and the secretary over there served three cups of coffee.
"Battlefield is a genius design. I heard that there will be a brand new campaign in the next version. To be honest, I can't wait." Sam Meister came up with a wave of praise.
"Mr. Sam, you're welcome. The Cologne Game Show is also the world's most famous game show, a stage that countless game makers and designers dream of." Chen Xu smiled, and it was also a business exchange.
"Okay, you two keep it." York Lennon next to him heard this, rolled his eyes and took a sip of coffee from the table, then spread his hands.
Obviously his relationship with Sam Meister is much better than Chen Xu thought, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
I saw Sam Meister hammer York Lennon with his fist.
"Damn it, you have been so impatient since high school, this is the premise of normal negotiation!"
Sam Meister complained, then turned to Chen Xu and said, "Okay, just like what this guy York said, let's get straight to the point."
"Here at the Cologne Game Show, we will divide a separate exhibition area for you to display the new work you are developing and "Battlefield", but you have to be mentally prepared, the area will not be too large, only about 100 square meters, this is It's already the highest authority I can mobilize."
Hearing Sam Mister's words, Chen Xu was also a little surprised.
Don't think that 100 square meters is very small, in fact, in the exhibition area, it is already considered large.
As for the separate exhibition area and venue, that is the treatment enjoyed by the world's top companies, at least the current Nebula games are far from it.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
"To be honest, I'm honored, but I also have to say one thing. Our new work "Ayrden's Circle" is still in the development stage, and we have no way to provide the corresponding demo content during the Cologne exhibition." Chen Xu truthfully said.
"There's no way to offer demo content? That sucks!" Sam Meister frowned.
A separate exhibition area, with the popularity of the Nebula game "Battlefield", actually has that qualification.
But there is no demo content for the new work?
There's nothing he can do about it.
"Chen, haven't you been developing for more than half a year? You don't need too much content, it's enough for players to play it." York Lennon was a little anxious, after all, this was a good opportunity.
"No, this is a very special game. If you can't experience the full game, it will have a negative propaganda effect on players." Chen Xu shook his head and said.
Because "Ayrden's Circle" is an open map game, if only a small area is made, then players will not feel the freedom brought by the game.
........0
At the same time, it is also difficult to find the various elements hidden in the huge junction.
In the end, the player gets stuck at a certain point, but does not go to other areas, which will have a persuasive effect.
The reason why the trial of the Ring of Law was so popular in the previous life is because the soul-based game has already become its own style, and players have already had a preconceived concept.
Therefore, Chen Xu does not plan to launch any demo version, which will cause players to misunderstand the game.
"Okay, but the actual machine promotional video, can it be made at that time? It's cool and eye-catching. Let's make some exposure through our Liger Entertainment exhibition area." York Lennon said a little disappointed.
"I haven't done it yet, but before the Cologne exhibition, it will definitely be completed." Chen Xu nodded, this is not difficult.
"By the way, how is the completion of the game now? Can we take a look at it?" York Lennon asked Chen Xu, thinking of something.
Although he has reached a cooperation, up to now, his understanding of "Eldun's Circle" is only five words more than that of outside players.
"Of course." Chen Xu stood up and led the way.
In the project room, Chen Xu turned on the computer, and the scene from the game and the design of the monster were playing on the big screen.
The Eternal City, Stoneville City, General Ratan on the edge of the desert outside the Red Lion Battle Festival, the magnificent Wang Chengluodel in front of the Golden Tree, the broken Fam Yazra, and various oppressive bosses.
It's just the scene in the game, I don't even know how to play.
But just looking at it, has shocked both York Lennon and Sam Meister.
This... is this a game?
This should be called art!
Ninth Art!
Especially when Chen Xu said that there will be a VR version of "Ayrden's Circle", the two of them are looking forward to it.
They didn't even dare to imagine how shocking the Ayrden Ring in the VR version would be.
Chapter 61 Let you know what an explosion is!
While the players were still waiting for the news of Chen Xu's new work, a piece of exciting news spread on the Internet.
‘Nebulas Games and Liger Entertainment have reached a partnership, and the new game will be officially announced at the Cologne Games Show! ’
Because a demo version cannot be provided, a separate booth, even if York Lennon has connections, cannot get the principles related to the exhibition.
So in the final count, when the time comes, "Ayrden's Ring" will simply be used as a press conference for Liger and Tiger Entertainment, and the final finale will be announced.
As soon as the news came out, the game circle immediately exploded.
"Fuck! Mr. Chen is awesome! Tickets to the Cologne Game Show?"
"Kill crazy! Kill crazy!"
"This is half a year of sharpening a sword!"
"Haha, Big Goose Game and Pig Factory Game were advertised before. They are the only two manufacturers in China to participate in the Cologne Game Show. Are you surprised or surprised now?"
"But one thing to say, Big Goose Games and Pig Factory Games are independent exhibition areas, while Nebula Games is mixed with Liger and Tiger Entertainment!"
"What's the matter? For the places in the Big Goose Game and the Pig Factory Game, you can understand whether there is any moisture."
"Fuck! The popularity of this "440" has gone down a bit, and I'm not so anxious in my heart, but now? Let's put some new content!"
"It's the same, scratching my ears and cheeks in a hurry, the screen of my phone is licked and glowing!"
"You're wrong upstairs!"
...
Various communities, as well as forums, are full of topics that players discuss about the new Nebula game.
This kind of popularity has directly scared some other concerned game manufacturers.
Why!
What is Nebula Game?
A total of two official blogs have been posted, and one is a three-second video. How can it be so popular?
It seems puzzling, but from the player's point of view, it's pretty clear.
Because of trust!
The excellent quality of "Battlefield" and the operation from conscience to explosion in the past six months have given players a natural trust in Nebula Games.
Even if it looks like just a folder now, I don't even know the name of the game, only that there is an NPC named Melina.
But out of this trust, it is enough to make them look forward to the new work of Nebula Games.
As a result, not only the major community forums, but also Chen Xu and Nebula Games, as well as the official blogs of the employees who posted the videos, such as Qin Yi, were all captured by players.
Thousands of players left messages day and night, hoping that Chen Xu could give them some more game news to satisfy their hunger.
But for these contents, Chen Xu and the others did not have an answer.
Not on purpose, but simply because there isn't that much time.
Because the development of "Ayrdon Circle" has entered the second half.
And in order to cooperate with the promotion of the Cologne Game Show, they also specially edited and produced a real game demonstration.
Since it is a real machine demonstration, it is the real game content, as well as the cutscenes that will appear in the game.
Instead of cheating like some games, the CG promotional animation announced to the outside world is gorgeous and cool, and as a result, countless players have been tricked into the game to take a look: This is it?
What is he! The advertisements of Master Kong Beef Noodles are more real than yours!
In the expectation of domestic players day by day, time has slowly come to the day of the Cologne Game Show.
...
As one of the largest game exhibitions in the world, the process is not much different from other exhibitions.
It's just that the scale is much larger, and with the support of the local and official Cologne, the whole exhibition looks very formal, which is why he can be one of the three major exhibitions.
It will last for a total of three days. The first two days belong to the players' experience time, and they will experience the new works of various game manufacturers in the venue.
Players from all over the world can be said to be extremely excited.
But domestic players are very calm.
Mainly because it is a little different from what they thought before.
Before that, they also thought that they could see the demo of Chen Xu's new work at the Cologne exhibition.
As a result, when the Cologne show schedule came out, these players were a little disappointed.
Because on the Liger Entertainment's program table, although Nebula Game is the finale, there is only one real game display in the program.
Simply put, that is to put the film, and by the way, introduce the gameplay of the game, and then?
Gone!
Some mild-mannered players did not express any opinions.
But some impatient older brothers can't help it.
"What are you doing! I thought there was some exciting news, but it was just a movie?"
"That's right, I was so excited to stay up late to watch it."
"Can you get some hard goods out!"
"I can't figure it out. Since there are real machine demonstrations, why not launch a demo version?"
"Are you going to watch it? I'm not going to watch it anyway."
"+1!"
Domestic players seem to be very disappointed in various discussions in forums and communities.
The major domestic game makers that have also been paying attention, especially the Big Goose Games and Pig Factory Games that participated in this Cologne Game Show.
It's all fun.
In the past, such exhibitions were all for publicity. Of course, there is a more straightforward statement, that is, export to domestic sales.
Of course, there are not a few people who are scolded, but if you make money, you will be scolded if you are scolded.
However, this year's edition suddenly broke the news that Nebula Games was also participating in the exhibition. Even if it was a part of Liger and Tiger Entertainment, it still shocked the big goose game and the operation department of the pig factory game.
Before that, it was just the two of them, and they were all set.
But this year, there is another Nebula game. If you compare them at that time, the two of them will be rotten. Not to mention, Nebula Games has made a new game of Battlefield quality, even if it is only half.
Then all the heat has been robbed!
but now?
Coming to the Cologne Game Show to show a movie?
What threat does this pose to them?
How amazing can a movie of a real game machine be?
