This Online Game Developer is Definitely Problematic

A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...

Chapter 241 Promotional Video

Chapter 241 Promotional Video

In mid-October,

the masterpieces promised by the Tianhu Game Platform were officially launched.

This attracted many players.

However, the sales of these masterpieces were not very satisfactory.

After all, the Vaporwave Game Platform has spent a lot of effort to cultivate players' payment habits.

These players will not easily transfer because they bought games on the Vaporwave Game Platform.

However, once the Tianhu Game Platform gained power, there was no relevant preparation at all.

It is normal to imagine that the sales are not ideal.

Li Guangsheng was mentally prepared for this. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he did not lose his temper. He just asked his men to study the rise of the Vaporwave Game Platform and continue to work hard.

In order to look forward to the future! Anyway,

it's not like the Tianhu Game Platform has no masterpieces now.

On the other hand,

in order to deal with the fact that the sales of the platform's masterpieces are average, Li Guangsheng asked "Shen Ge" to open the internal test registration.

Because the subject matter is attractive, Tianhu has recently become famous again. This internal test registration attracted a lot of players.

In the end, the second-hand price of the internal test invitation code was continuously hyped up.

For a while,

it was ridiculously expensive.

However, it was also because of the high price that it became a hot topic, and many people wanted to get an internal beta code.

The poor sales of the Tianhu game platform's masterpieces were temporarily forgotten.

Everyone was eager to get the internal beta code.

And on the same day.

The same day that Tianhu announced the internal version of its game "Shenge".

Linmu Studio promoted its RTS game called "Warcraft" in a very low-key manner.

They released a promotional video.

In fact, it was not low-key.

Linmu Studio gave this promotional video a huge advertising space on the homepage of the Vaporwave game platform.

But most players were busy grabbing the internal beta code of "Shenge".

So it seemed very low-key.

Many players who were using the Vaporwave game platform at the time saw this promotional video at the first time.

The promotional video was very short.

It was just over two minutes.

But it shocked the players for a whole year!

However, few people saw the promotional video at the beginning.

Many people didn't even know about it...

"

Fuck, I can't even get this."

Luo Li smashed the mouse in dissatisfaction and cursed.

Grabbing a game qualification is like eating shit. After waiting for more than half an hour, it was gone in half a second.

Anyone would be unhappy.

And Luo Li really wants to play the game.

Unlike some people who want to grab it and sell it for money.

He has been particularly interested in domestic classical mythology since he was a child, and even tried to write novels on similar themes, but because of his poor writing skills, he had to give up in the end.

But he really likes it. After seeing the trailer of "Shenge", he paid close attention to this game.

He reads almost all the news.

Seeing that the game was in beta testing.

He wanted to grab the beta code as soon as possible.

But the problem is that it is too damn hard to grab.

"Do you have to be so exaggerated?"

Luo Li shook his head, and then hesitated for a long time between buying the second-hand test code at a high price and continuing to grab it. Finally, he decided to ask his friends if they had grabbed it.

Open Tianhu chat.

Find friends.

"Did you get the test code? If you did, sell it to me?"

The friend replied after a while: "Ah? I didn't get it. I just saw a trailer on the Vaporwave game platform and was shocked. When I came to my senses, time had passed."

"Promotional video?" Rowley was a little curious.

"Well, the promotional video of the RTS game by Linmu Studio, do you want to take a look? It's really awesome. Although it's a fantasy theme, it's so cool, much cooler than the promotional video of "Shengo"."

The friend sent a link.

The corner of Luo Li's mouth twitched: "Are you mistaken? It's said that the gun's internal test code? You watched the trailer? And you watched it too much? Is it really necessary? Are you sick? I have been looking forward to "Shenge" for so long, and now I can't play it."

His friend argued: "It's not that I am not determined, it's really awesome, if you don't believe me, just take a look."

"No! Psycho!"

Luo Li was a little dissatisfied. He was a little irritated that he didn't get the internal test code of the long-awaited game: "Fantasy themes are just that, shouting for glory, for something, and then pretending to raise a sword. I know the plot without watching it, and I am not interested in this kind of theme! I just want to play "Shenge" now, what the hell. I won't say anymore, I'm going to see if there are any cheap second-hand test codes, you can see it yourself, watch it to your heart's content!"

After that,

he turned off the chat software directly.

Ignore his friends.

Turn around and check if there are any second-hand cheap internal test codes.

But after searching around.

The second-hand internal test codes are too expensive.

Luo Li thought about his wallet, and he was short of money, so he had to give up.

He sighed and reopened the chat software, preparing to tell his friends to try again tomorrow

.

The new message from his friend popped up.

"..."

was a series of ellipsis.

It was unclear whether it was expressing dissatisfaction or speechlessness.

Seeing the message from his friend.

Luo Li also felt that his attitude just now was too bad. After thinking about it, he clicked on the link sent by his friend.

Let's take a look.

Although he was not interested and even guessed the content of the promotional video.

But after watching it, it would be good to just say a few words to comfort his friend.

The web page jumped.

The playback window appeared.

Luo Li pressed the play button, lit a cigarette, and looked at the screen bored.

He planned to just glance at it.

Whoosh -

the sound of whistling wind sounded.

The logo of Linmu Studio slowly appeared on the screen, and then faded.

The epic background music sounded along with the screen.

A man wearing hideous heavy armor and holding a huge sword in his right hand slowly appeared in the center of the screen.

He sat on the frozen throne, with thick frost hanging on his body, like an ice sculpture.

"My child."

"When you come into the world."

"The entire forest of Lordaeron is whispering your name-"

accompanied by a low voice and majestic background music.

The camera slowly zoomed in.

It showed the huge figure on the throne.

"Arthas!"

The moment the narrator said the name in a low voice.

The huge figure on the throne seemed to open his eyes, and the holes in the armor where the eyes were suddenly lit up with liquid frost like fire.

The background music suddenly became louder.

Rowley, who was smoking, shuddered.

He sat up straight.

He was confused.

Is this CG? It's definitely not a real shot?

On the screen.

The picture darkened again.

The music slowly changed its tone.

In the snowy land, thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow.

On the Icecrown Glacier.

Dull footsteps sounded.

A female voice that seemed to be whispering inserted into the background music, as if injecting souls.

The man who had just sat on the frozen throne walked over and walked towards a canyon.

Then, he slowly squatted down and used his right hand with a gauntlet to wipe away the snowflakes on the ice.

He looked at the ice under his feet, thinking.

Then, he stood up.

The narrator's low voice sounded again.

"My child."

"I am proud to see you grow up day by day."

"Become the embodiment of justice."

On the screen, a man wearing heavy and ferocious armor slowly lifted his cloak and pulled out the big sword engraved with runes from his waist.

In the wind and snow, he suddenly raised it and pointed it at the screen.

At this moment, the flakes of snow seemed to be still.

"You must remember that we have always ruled this country with wisdom and strength."

"Follow wisdom and obey strength."

"I also believe that you will use your powerful power with caution."

A snowflake slowly fell on the big sword raised by the man.

The light like liquid frost slowly washed away the rust on the big sword.

The man slowly put down the raised sword, held the hilt with both hands, and stabbed it hard at the ice under his feet!

The music changed again.

The male voice hummed and inserted, instantly making the background music extremely exciting.

The camera zoomed out.

Centered on the man.

The snowflakes were blown away, the ice cracked, and began to spread outward.

Like a broken mirror.

Raleigh shuddered again, forgot about the cigarette in his hand, and stared at the screen stupidly.

The man stood up again.

He looked ahead.

Behind him.

The ice cracked, and an unknown creature broke out of the ice.

The music became more and more exciting.

Sharp claws grabbed the ice.

The full appearance of the creature finally appeared behind the man.

It was a bone dragon!

It got on all fours, and its huge body began to move, coming to the platform of the canyon, grabbing the protruding ice, and its body was overflowing with liquid ice like fire.

Then.

It spread its wings. Covering the sky   and the sun

. Soaring into the sky.   The music reached its climax.   The bone dragon dragged the liquid ice like fire across the canyon.   In the canyon.   Countless undead in armor watched the bone dragon pass by, and then looked in the direction of the man.   The bone dragon soared and roared.

Countless undead in the canyon heard the roar and suddenly looked up to the sky. Only the skeletons were left, and the same fire-like liquid frost emerged from their bodies, roaring to the sky.

And this scene

was deeply imprinted in Raleigh's pupils.

On the screen,

the man in heavy and ferocious armor held Frostmourne, looked down at the canyon, and then raised his head again.

The camera slowly zoomed in.

Finally,

the picture was fixed on the man's face covered with a mask.

"But the real victory, my child, is to inspire the hearts of the people."

"One day my life will finally reach the end."

"And you... will be crowned king!"

The background music rose and fell again, and suddenly stopped.

The promotional video

ended abruptly.

But Raleigh didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He opened his mouth and looked at the video window that indicated the end of the broadcast. He

was stunned.

Until.

The cigarette in his hand burned his hand.

He shuddered, came back to his senses in an instant, threw away the cigarette in his hand, quickly closed the chat window, turned into a level 10 pianist, and quickly sent a message to his friends.

"I just said too much, sorry, let me ask, is this game also in internal testing? Can it be played???"
