Chapter 179： Blocking is worse than sparse

Hearing that Xun Ze was going to make "Overwatch" a free game, the friends were slightly taken aback.

In their opinion, "Overwatch" has invested so much, but if it is a free game, it may not recover the cost.

But they thought about it, and it seems that free games will not make money. "Tomorrow's Ark" and "Three Kingdoms Online" are the best examples.

Now the two games are still ranked No. 1 or No. 2 on the best-selling list of mobile games, bringing hundreds of millions of dollars to the studio each month.

In this way, even if "Overwatch" is a free game, as long as the game is good enough, it is not afraid of losing money.

Moreover, the opponent of "Overwatch" is "Titan" of Frozen Snow Game Company. The opponent's reputation and background are far beyond the current Xingyuan game development studio.

Even if they have confidence in "Overwatch", they have to admit that in order to defeat "Titan" as soon as possible, in addition to ordinary means, they still need to find another way.

Free-to-play games are indeed a good entry point.

Seeing that after everyone was stunned for a moment, no objection was raised, Xun Ze smiled and divided the work for everyone.

After the meeting, Xun Ze returned to his office to prepare a task game.

He opened the game editor and typed the name of the game on it - "Memories of Edith Finch".

The gameplay of this game is varied but not difficult, and it is also dubbed a walking simulator by players.

The game features a series of spooky stories about a family in Washington state.

The player's character, Edith, will enter the Finch family's mansion to investigate family history, trying to figure out why she is the last living member of the family.

In the process, one story after another is revealed.

The ages of these stories span from the distant past to the present, and each time a story is revealed, players can experience the life of a family member on the day of his death.

The gameplay and story style of the game are very varied, and every time you change a family member, you change a style.

The only constant is the first-person perspective, and each story ends with the death of a family member. Ultimately, games allow players to experience what it's like to be overwhelmed and shocked by the vast unknown world around us.

In the original world of Xunze, this game won the best game narrative in 2017. I believe that the players of Aquamarine will also be attracted by the story of this game and like it.

With Xun Ze's current comprehensive ability, coupled with the game editor, and if there is no time limit, he is completely able to make the game by himself.

This will not affect the progress of Overwatch.

With the two special abilities of "immersion" and "dynamic adjustment", Xun Ze can also make the game's screen presentation to a higher level, and the character's movements can be more natural and smooth.

Given that the game is always presented in a first-person perspective, Xun Ze felt that a VR version could be created to make players more immersed in the game.

Just when Xun Ze started to make this "Memories of Eddie Finch", Liu Yide came to his office.

"Mr. Xun, because of Lan Fujie's remarks, there are more and more rhythms about "Rise of the Tomb Raider" on the Internet. Do we need to deal with it a little bit?"

Nowadays, the rhythm on the Internet is basically saying that "Rise of the Tomb Raider" does not respect people, and it is strongly demanded to boycott this game, and it is also said that the game will be taken off the shelves.

What's more, it went directly to Xun Ze himself and his studio, and wished that Misty Immortal Palace would block Xun Ze.

"Do you have any plans?" Xun Ze asked.

"Blocking is worse than sparse. The rhythm of "Rise of the Tomb Raider" is too much and too complicated. If we confront them head-on, our side will not benefit, the effect will not be obvious, and it will even make the rhythm more. So the best way to deal with the rhythm here is to divert everyone's attention."

Xun Ze asked with great interest: "Then how to transfer?"

"Mr. Xun, now some people on the Internet have discovered your cosplay, but it is limited to a certain range and has not sparked discussions on the entire Internet. I think you can use the studio's big-eyed blog to post your cosplay photos at that time, At the same time as attracting everyone's attention, try to cite the topic as much as possible in this regard.

Although this can't completely kill all the rhythms, at least it can make the rhythm not so much. After all, some people bring our rhythm mainly to gain popularity. If there is a hotter topic, they will definitely move the battlefield immediately. Moreover, "Tomorrow's Ark" will also be updated, which can be regarded as marketing in advance, which is beneficial to revenue. "

After thinking for a while, Xun Ze felt that what Liu Yide said made sense. He nodded and said, "Yes. Let's do this according to your ideas! It's hard for you."

"Mr. Xun, this is what I should do."

After the two chatted about some details, Liu Yide returned to his workstation and posted a message with the studio's big eyes.

"Thank you for your support for "Tomorrow's Ark". The painters and wives are also very good. Mr. Xun only visited the exhibition once and couldn't help but buy so many fanbooks."

Below this dynamic, in addition to the fanbook of "Tomorrow's Ark", which looks quite spectacular after it has been spread out, there are also photos taken by Liu Yide for Xun Ze before.

Before, everyone just guessed that Bai Xue's COSER was Xun Ze, even if many people came up with evidence and comparison photos, but as long as Xun Ze didn't admit it for a day, some people still felt that this matter was a bit unreliable.

Although everyone calls Xun Ze Gou Thief, the title sounds quite down-to-earth, but Xun Ze is also a Samsung game designer and the vice president of the steampunk game platform. Or cos went to Baixue.

Now that this has been officially confirmed, the topic has been provoked again, and there are significantly more people involved than the last time.

"I just said that COSER is a thief! If there are comparison photos, how can there be fakes?"

"Gou Thief is really too goofy. It's really hard to catch him when cos is like this."

"Be content! In a sense, Gou Thief is also considered a woman's clothing this time."

"Yeah! In this matter, we have to be a little more tolerant of Thief Gou, maybe he will dare next time!"

"Indeed! If you frighten him and force him to cosplay into a swordsman tower, wouldn't it be even harder to catch him."

"It's said that "Tomorrow's Ark" will be updated in two days, so I'm going to rush to the thief's women's clothing. I decided to post 648."

"The boss is confused!"

Because the matter of Xun Ze cos Bai Xue was brought up again by everyone, which also made everyone discover another thing.

When they saw the news, it was said that at a certain comic exhibition someone was wearing the costumes of the soldiers of the Rhine Empire in World War I. When they were asked out by the security guard, one of them also attacked a COSER who was present.

Fortunately, the COSER reacted and avoided it in time. Now I look back at the news, as well as the photos and videos at that time. The COSER is clearly Xun Ze!

"It seems that the thief Gou decided to make the game "Braveheart: World War" after he witnessed and experienced this with his own eyes."

"Gou thief has a heart."

"Don't forget that Gou Thief made the public welfare game "See". How many game designers are willing to play public welfare games now?"

"Hey! It would be nice if Gou thief hadn't made a knife in the plot."

"Don't say itTomorrow's Ark" is going to be updated, you guys made me have an ominous premonition."

"I learned martial arts, and I just watched the video at the scene. Thief Gou's reaction speed must have a foundation in martial arts."

"Can you see that?"

"I think it's possible. How can a house that has been sedentary for a long time react so quickly?"

"Indeed. Although Thief Gou just avoided and stumbled, but if the bottom is unstable, don't say that you tripped over someone, and you might be knocked down as well."

There has been more discussion about Xun Ze cos on the Internet, and under the intentional guidance of Liu Yide, everyone also talked about the game "Braveheart: World War" again.

As for Xun Ze's knowledge of martial arts, it was a bit unexpected, but that's okay, at least it's a positive topic, and Liu Yide has also put some effort into it.

After these discussions were "neutralized", the rhythm of "Rise of the Tomb Raider" and Xun Ze on the Internet is indeed not as dense and sharp as it was at the beginning.
