"Cough, cough, is boy’s urine that bizarre?"
"Not really!"
Luo Ji shook his head and said, "What we’re curious about is whether, Ba, you expect players to pee when encountering an evil creature in the ga?"
Everyone: "..."
Wow! This ga is truly amazing!
Just imagining a sinister creature chasing them from behind, and the protagonist calmly unbuckling his belt, then urinating on the spot, splashing it onto the evil creature, the scene is simply beautiful.
"Although it’s sowhat like what you thought, it’s not that outrageous."
Chen Ba explained, "The general idea is that the protagonist needs to occasionally go to the bathroom to collect their own boy’s urine for self-defense during nightti explorations."
The boy’s urine is also limited.
Even if the protagonist is self-sufficient, it’s impossible to have an unlimited supply. The quantity has to be controlled to ensure the player has so ans of self-defense, but not enough to easily clear the ga using the item.
"I see..."
Learning that the protagonist can’t infinitely produce the so-called boy’s urine protective charm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Okay then!
Even though this item sounds a bit odd, according to folklore, it might actually work.
"Apart from boy’s urine, there are other items in the ga that can help the protagonist overco obstacles at critical monts."
Chen Ba tapped his pen on the table and emphasized, "And as for these protective items, you need to design their sources carefully. In any case, they shouldn’t be too abundant, and they shouldn’t be too easy to obtain."
A common thod would be to design several treasure chests or secret rooms on the map, and players would need to solve puzzles to obtain keys and then open them to acquire the items inside.
It could also be a quest reward!
There are many options and no fixed thod to obtain them, just control the item output to maintain a ’not quite enough’ state.
This will help maintain a tense atmosphere.
It’s like in horror gas, even if the protagonist is ard with a gun, the number of bullets is strictly limited.
Otherwise, if you get a gun and just go biubiuing, mowing down all evil creatures, the tense and exciting ga atmosphere instantly turns into a leisurely zombie-shooting ga.
"That’s about it."
After instructing on the design and production of protective items, Chen Ba then asked, "I plan to price ’Mountain Village mories’ at 68 yuan, do you think that’s appropriate?"
"Not bad, it’s acceptable."
"It’s a bit pricey, but compared to other similar gas, our map is indeed very large, and it’s worth the price."
Everyone had different opinions.
However, they all agreed on the 68-yuan price, believing that the scale and map size of ’Mountain Village mories’ justified the price.
Whether it’s expensive depends on the situation.
So horror gas even charge by ’Chapter’, selling the first Chapter for 20-30 yuan, and subsequent Chapters as DLCs for the sa price...
These gas don’t have half the scale of ’Mountain Village mories’, yet their charges are really exploitative, and charging by storyline Chapter is quite baffling.
’Mountain Village mories’ is bound not to engage in such shady practices, and the ga will be released in one complete version once fully developed.
"No demo or pre-sale?"
"Not this ti!"
Chen Ba shook his head, indicating ’Mountain Village mories’ was of a different nature, being a typical horror-type storyline ga focused on experiencing plots.
Such a ga shouldn’t have demos or pre-sales, which would just spoil the plot for players!
Although ’Mountain Village mories’, with the Divination System, is not afraid of spoilers, there’s no need to invite trouble. Keep the plot secret for as long as possible; early leaks are just courting trouble.
...
No early demo or pre-sale reveals, many players are unaware of ’Mountain Village mories’.
Except for Ice Cola.
As a top hundred UP master in the Thunderbolt gaming zone, with 2.784 million followers, Ice Cola’s sources are extraordinarily broad.
He knows about ’Mountain Village mories’.
Not only does he know about this ga, but he also knows it’s a horror ga.
As for how he knows, that involves a friend running a hot pot shop in Jiangning.
Coincidentally, the shop his friend owns is not far from Tianba Studio, a common dining spot for them.
When serving their table, the friend overheard them discussing a new ga and rembered the ga’s na, relaying it later to Ice Cola.
Ice Cola is very professional.
Even though he had ahead of ti explosive news enough to make a video and earn millions of views and attention, he didn’t spill the beans.
Selling out friends for money isn’t very ethical, plus the source of this information is rather embarrassing if revealed, so it’s better to just keep it to himself.
However, keeping secrets aside, as a gaming UP master, chasing trends is in his nature and is essential for survival.
’Mountain Village mories’ is hidden so well that no one can get a firsthand account; surely, when the ga is released, many bloggers, marketing accounts, and UP masters will jump on this trend.
No way!
Ice Cola also wants to ride this trend, but he reckons that with Tianba Studio’s full-network attention, it doesn’t seem they need his support.
Moreover...
This kind of horror ga usually focuses on storyline experiences, and making long videos might result in them being reported and taken down by the ga developers.
That’s not unusual!
For a ga like ’Mountain Village mories’, once a full-process long video appears online, it will likely impact sales growth.
After all, if a lot of people watch the video and follow along to complete the ga, it’s like they played it themselves, so who would still buy the ga?
That’s why Ice Cola tried writing a heartfelt email to Ba, inquiring if it was feasible.
Soon he received a reply.
Ba told him via email that they’re fine with people consuming ’Mountain Village mories’ content and traffic. They won’t report those suspected of sharing spoilers or intervene.
In Ba’s words, "Spoilers are just that! ’Mountain Village mories’ isn’t afraid of spoilers, the more videos, the better!"
Such as a top hundred UP master like Ice Cola providing free video advertisents for their ga at no cost, they’re more than happy, why would they stop him?
"Not afraid of spoilers?"
Hearing this, Ice Cola was filled with curiosity about ’Mountain Village mories.’
Isn’t it supposed to be a plot-oriented horror ga? Why doesn’t this horror ga fear spoilers? Is there so kind of secret?
Ba didn’t elaborate, and Ice Cola didn’t dare to ask.
But since Ba dared to say such words, it ans ’Mountain Village mories’ really isn’t afraid of spoilers, or that spoilers won’t affect players’ desire to purchase this ga.
This beca interesting!
Ice Cola searched online but found no latest information about ’Mountain Village mories.’ Occasionally, there were a few rumor posts, but they lacked substance, at most just revealing the ga’s na.
However, on the Tianba Community, he stumbled upon a post claiming to be Ba’s father-in-law, an ’uncle party,’ stating that Tianba Studio’s new ga would feature a ’very occult’ ga chanism.
"Occult chanism?"
This term, not only the other community players couldn’t understand, but even Ice Cola struggled to comprehend it. What is an occult chanism?
chanism, occult?
How do these two words combine, is this Ba’s ’not fearing spoilers’ confidence?
Unable to figure it out, Ice Cola glanced at the post’s responses and saw that everyone was questioning the legitimacy of the poster’s identity, suspecting he was making things up.
The poster got angry and posted a chat screenshot.
In the picture, Ba affectionately calls him an in-law, suggesting he wants to be the godfather of his child...
"A chat record as evidence? Ba even asked to transfer him 50 and made the Sect Leader of Cowherding Sect!"
Netizens didn’t believe him, but Ice Cola had an inkling that this poster wasn’t lying, and the chat record was likely authentic!
After all, Ba’s profile picture, he had seen, it really was this ’No Loans’...
