Speaking of which, Chen Ba seems to have thought of sothing, and couldn’t help but laugh: "At this Neon Gaming Expo, there should be quite a few Galga gas showcased, rember to learn sothing."
"Galga..."
Yang Dong and Lu were at a loss for words.
Neon is a big country of Galga, everyone knows that, after all in that country, otaku culture is very popular, and there are many players who like to play such gas.
But the problem is, even if they learn the real skills, where would they have the space to apply it?
There aren’t that many Galga players dostically, focusing on bold thes is a dead end.
"Just learn the plot design, which is our weak point and has always been criticized." Chen Ba explained.
It must be admitted, so Galga ga plots are truly "divine"!
The script is written so touchingly warm, the atmosphere is well created, and the character richness beats part of the core selling point of so character-centered gas.
If Tianba Studio could learn this trick, and improve character and plot, it would make money easily in the dostic environnt.
"I got it."
Understanding Ba’s aning, Lu nodded and said: "Which ga should we showcase?"
"Divine Grace Continent mainly."
"Besides showcasing old gas, we can take advantage of this exhibition to build anticipation for the new ga..."
Chen Ba is not going for a vacation.
Since he decided to participate, he’s definitely going to prepare well, revealing so never-before-released information at the expo.
Like about next year’s new ga!
Even though it doesn’t even have a PPT, expo exposure doesn’t require demos, just treat it as a pie drawing and boasting contest, to pique player interest.
Whether the ga can be made, or whether it’s started isn’t important...
What’s important is to first draw a pie!
Mature ga developers have their own pie-drawing skills, even though the pies differ, they always manage to captivate players and whet their appetites.
In this aspect, R Star is the God of Gods!
Years ago, soone leaked online that R Star was planning to develop "Grand Theft Auto 6".
Once the news was out, it caused a sensation on the whole internet.
Countless players eagerly awaited good news from R Star, and more latest leaks about "Grand Theft Auto 6".
Every year after, soone online would ntion this non-existent ga.
R Star also knows how to whet appetites.
Whenever asked about news of "Grand Theft Auto 6", the answer is always "working on it."
Is it really being worked on?
Chen Ba thinks they’re certainly working on it; at least they’ve certainly "created a new folder". But as for how far they’ve actually gotten, no one knows.
All these years, they definitely can’t still be lingering at the "new folder" stage, right?
If true, R Star’s pie is really big, spanning nearly ten years... Since the earliest rumors of "Grand Theft Auto 6" broke online, they’ve whetted players’ appetites for ten whole years.
That’s a masterful pie drawing!
Although Tianba Studio can’t be as outrageous as R Star, holding players with a single new folder ssage for ten years.
But Chen Ba plans to imitate, putting out so explosive news, and "ambiguous" ga content, to stir up so buzz should not be an issue.
...
Of the dozen people in the studio, half went with Chen Ba to Neon, the other half remained due to visa or other issues.
The renovation company has already entered the site.
While they’re away, the company will follow Ba’s instructions to remodel the studio, initially scheduled for 10 days!
Jiangning has a high-speed rail station, but no airport.
So Chen Ba and the others took the high-speed rail to reach Zhonghai first, then transferred to a flight to Neon.
Before leaving, Tianba Studio had already announced in communities, player groups, and in-ga that ga maintenance would cease for a week.
Primarily targeting "Star Emperor" and "Garbage Disposal Fun" two multiplayer gas.
Single-player gas can be ignored since many single-player gas often go months or years without updates, it’s normal.
Multiplayer doesn’t have that luxury.
Whether it’s for a long holiday or a team building trip, if maintenance goes long, you should let players know, or they might think Ba went bankrupt and got caught.
Actually, single-player gas should also get a notice, like Hideo Kojima, who even during pursuing star travels shares photos on social platforms, telling players what he’s up to...
Many in the studio were traveling abroad for the first ti, considering language barriers, Chen Ba specifically hired an accompanying translator.
Upon arrival in Neon, after completing hotel check-ins, the group headed to the expo venue and visited their booth.
03-S03!
This is Tianba Studio’s booth number, quite a nice location, right next to Pig Factory and Mi Family, unexpectedly placed together by the organizers.
"Your old workplace eh..."
Lu nudged Zhong Shengwei with his elbow, couldn’t resist teasing: "How’s it? See anyone familiar?"
"No!"
Pig Factory arrived early, already setting up, but Zhong Shengwei didn’t see any familiar faces.
That’s expected.
Being a big factory with many departnts and studios, most colleagues Zhong Shengwei knew were from the sa departnt.
Would be too coincidental to et a familiar face here.
"Whoa! Open World, huh?"
Seeing Pig Factory’s poster, Chen Ba couldn’t help but exclaim: "Nowadays if you don’t add Open World, does nobody play the ga?"
"Not exactly."
Yang Dong explained with a smile: "But Open World is indeed quite popular, players lean toward the concept nowadays."
Regardless of the ga type, having "Open World" can’t go wrong!
Ultimately, this trend was started by Mi Family, after their O-God beca a hit, attracting many peers.
Speaking of Mi Family, Chen Ba leads everyone to check out the Mi Family’s adjacent booth.
Hmm... right on the!
Compared to Pig Factory’s reserved style, Mi Family seems far more open, the booth setup shows abundant concentration on the second dinsion, making otaku or otaku girls linger.
The gas, not much new.
Old gas are all on display, the only new ga follows Mi Family’s traditional style, truly nothing remarkable.
Of course!
That’s standing from a developer’s perspective, ordinary players would certainly see it differently than Chen Ba.
"Forget it, let’s set up the booth."
Lazily pondering others’ affairs, after all Mi Family or Pig Factory alike are giants to Tianba Studio.
Rather than dwelling on others, better to focus on setting up the booth, seizing the gaming expo chance to gain more exposure for their gas.
Especially "Divine Grace Continent".
As an RPG adventure ga, Divine Grace Continent sold well in Neon. Especially after the professional version release, many users ca from Neon’s animation industry.
Chen Ba brought the NPC talking version this ti, sure to draw substantial interest.
Furthermore, he optimizes for Neon’s prevalently excessive "Otherworld" ani works.
This optimization is quite intriguing!
In Neon’s Otherworld ani, many have the "rebirth" setting, known as traversing.
Ways of traversing vary, involving mud truck, divine pranks, or unexpected death...
In "Divine Grace Continent" ga, Chen Ba did specific optimizations on "Hero Summoning", previously heroes were abruptly chosen, but now, mud truck has arrived!
Without experiencing mud truck baptism, what qualifies as a hero?
Must get on the mud truck, at 100KM/h speed, smashing open the door to Otherworld.
Besides mud truck, there are options including lightning strikes, accidental falls, or working till death.
Players can freely choose.
All in all, these are designed to be more realistic, catering to so player demand.
If you don’t fancy mud truck, there’re also bus, trucks, public transport or train available, focusing on comprehensive service...
