[Chapter 1350 is too real!]
“It is precisely because of this fatal attraction that everything that everyone encounters in the game, from a fallen leaf in the forest to a secret book found under a cliff, will make people feel deeply trapped in it!”
“This feeling is naturally very wonderful for a game enthusiast, and it is also a necessary condition for the success of a game!”
“But what I want to say is…”
The employee paused and his face became serious again.
“It is precisely because of this super immersive effect that we feel that this update may be a bit inappropriate.”
At this moment, Hua Yun, Shen Teng and the big guys present all frowned.
“Keep talking!”
Hua Yun spoke.
“Yes, President Hua!”
The employee took a deep breath, considered for a while, and continued.
“During this update test, the entire game world has undergone a major change. According to the history of the game, the world in the game encountered the super-strong magnetic force from an unknown plane, and made a major leap in time!”
“The entire leap period, if measured in real time, is probably a full thousand years!”
“That is, from a simulated ancient cultivation world full of ancient scenery, ancient buildings and tasks, it directly jumped to a modern background similar to the end of the law period!”
Hua Yun knocked on the table and interrupted him gently.
“But this update did not change all the scenes. Isn’t it said that most of the added maps are in the form of ruins, similar to that… well, dungeons and secret realms?”
“That’s right, Mr. Hua!”
the employee continued.
“The newly appeared scenes are set up in this way, so that people can avoid being uncomfortable with the suddenly changed environment after entering the game. This is very good. But Mr. Hua, the new content of this update is a bit too real for such an immersive game!”
“Huh?”
The employee shook his head helplessly and smiled.
“Let me give you a simple example. Horror movies are a special type of film that has never had a large audience. It has to be said that when a horror film is shot to the point where people get goose bumps when they mention it, it will naturally attract the attention of fanatical horror fans and make it a deity. However, horror films of this level are very deadly to some fans who are only slightly curious, or who just want to try out the feeling of horror movies!”
“They may not dare to experience horror movies because the quality is too good!”
“So, even some of the best horror movies may have a very good reputation, but they are never big-selling horror movies!”
Hua Yun frowned slightly and asked.
“Are you trying to say that it is because the content of this update is too real that it may affect a large number of players!?”
The employee nodded heavily!
“Mr. Hua, I’m sure you know that today we live in a technologically advanced society! Indeed, whether in the folks or in big cities, there are stories about cultivating immortals, ghost stories and the like. Their existence can spice up life and make those who are more interested in it talk about it with relish.”
“Just like the games in our Xianxia world, it may have initially been open to players who were more obsessed with Eastern immortal cultivation stories, but because the game mode is too advanced, it has grown to such a large scale today, and has even developed all over the world!”
“But there is one thing, no matter whether you have any immortal cultivation techniques in the game, and no matter whether you have joined a large immortal cultivation sect in the game, that is all in the game.”
“It is learned that after the players leave the game and come to reality, they will reminisce the feeling in the game, and even unconsciously think that it would be great if there were such immortal cultivation sects or techniques in reality! But…”
“Everyone, as long as they are mature adults, will abandon this absurd idea after a little fantasy in their minds. After all, reality is reality! In reality, there are only steel cities and beautiful villages, but there have never been any immortal sects, let alone any cultivators!”
The tester said a lot, and finally let the big guys present understand what he meant.
“So this update may make people feel… that there are really such cultivators in the real world?”
“Is that what you mean?”
“This… is… really not appropriate!”
The people present are all big guys in the Internet game industry, and they are very clear about the bottom line in this regard.
You can promote the content in the game. You
can even arrange the content in the game into a movie shot by real actors to be released.
But there is one thing, after all, all of this is just to entertain the public and bring some pleasure and impact to people’s spirit. You
must never use any kind of seductive and suggestive way to make people feel that there are really cultivators in this world!
For example, a war movie.
You can promote the cruelty of war and the hard-won peace.
But we must never promote the pleasure of killing that war can bring!
If we do that, it will essentially deviate from its purpose and easily cause misunderstandings, which will leave some negative influences in people’s hearts!
Teaching through entertainment is not just a simple talk, we must look at the long-term.
A game can be so realistic and yet so popular because the era in which it is set is completely virtual, allowing people to immerse themselves in it, but once they return to reality, they can withdraw in time and will never have all kinds of unrealistic ideas.
But now, this update has added modern elements and apocalyptic elements, which makes people feel more deeply involved!
“I’m afraid that this deeper sense of involvement is also a hidden fuse, and it is very likely to be banned!”
The tester made the final conclusion.
After this word, the conference room fell silent.
After a long time, Hua Yun looked over with a heavy face.
“How strong can the latest updated content be to feel involved?”
The tester answered seriously.
“Boss Hua, the hundreds of testers we entered got the same result. The sense of immersion is extremely strong. After all, there are many modern elements. When we left the game and came to reality, I saw our elevator. When I entered it, I even felt that this was not the elevator to the conference room here, but a passage to another alien world…”
