On the day when the original demon came online, the weather was calm and the sun was as bright as yesterday. It was no different from countless ordinary days in the past.
Qin Sulan got up on time in the morning, washed herself listlessly, clipped her hair, changed out of her pajamas, and put on her clothes.
Then, take the subway Line 8, sway in the crowded crowd, arrive at the company on time, and punch in for work.
Along the way, she didn't even remember that today was the public beta day.
The development plan of Yuanmo is scheduled. Her current work is already on making the last two versions of the map, and the public beta will have no impact on her current work plan.
On the way to work, her mind was in a trance, and all she could think about was the TV series she watched yesterday and the character she was drawing. She had no idea about the public beta.
Perhaps, it was not that she didn't remember it, but that her subconscious mind was avoiding it.
If she had a chance to speak freely to Chen Ya, she might tell him worriedly that, to be honest, she was very worried that the public beta would fail.
This is not an unfounded worry.
In fact, as early as a month ago, many remarks made by Heiyuanmo had appeared on the Internet.
And after a month of fermentation, these black comments not only did not fade away with time, but became more and more intense.
There is a group of people on the Internet who are frantically looking for angles to criticize the original demon from all aspects. Some say it is a plagiarism, some say the game is unpatriotic, and some say it is soft, erotic, and otaku with no bottom line.
These stories were completely false, but they were exaggerated by these people to make them sound very real, and many people who did not know the truth believed them.
Before the original demon was launched, it was already widely criticized online. It can be said that this game has already shown signs of a sudden death.
After sighing, Qin Sulan composed herself, walked into the office and went to her workstation.
"Hey, be careful!"
"A little to the left, one, two..."
At the end of the office, at the door of the boss's personal office, two male employees were struggling to move a TV there. The TV was a widescreen one, estimated to be over a hundred inches, and quite large.
Qin Sulan stared blankly for a while, then asked Xu Zheqing, who was eating snacks next to her, "What are they doing?"
"Today is the public beta day, did you forget?" Xu Zheqing said, "Boss Luan said we should put the game data on the public screen to create a sense of urgency for everyone."
Hearing this, Qin Sulan couldn't help but shiver.
“So, so annoying…”
Xu Zheqing was a bit surprised: "Ah? Haven't you been looking forward to the game's launch? I see you seem very proud of your map."
A shadow immediately fell on Qin Sulan's face.
"I was really looking forward to it before, but now..."
"What's going on now?"
Qin Sulan nodded her chin and gestured to his computer screen: "Look at what that is?"
Xu Zheqing's computer page happened to be open to Zhihu, a question-and-answer website. The question on his page was:
"How do you evaluate Beichen staff's analysis that 'Original Demon' surpasses 'Alien Jianghu: Dragon Heart' in terms of production technology and difficulty?"
"Yi Jianghu: Dragon Heart" is the open world competitor game of Donghuang Seven Stars. Because of the PV it released, it has a high reputation and popularity in the player circle.
And there happened to be three highly praised answers on Xu Zheqing's page:
"Yeah, right, right. Your technically challenging team must have made some amazing games, right? For example? 'Go Go Sheep'?"
2655 likes, 576 comments.
"Many excellent games are not technically complex. We players like Yi Jiang Hu not because of its technical prowess, but because it has a sense of nostalgia and a rich history, rather than being a product that is made to generate revenue."
6752 likes, 237 comments.
"No, I really want to ask this Beichen employee, what level of company is yours that dares to try to scam Donghuang Seven Stars? Who gives you the confidence? Just your plagiarized and profit-making game? And you even dare to buy hot list marketing? This disrespect for seniors alone deserves to be criticized!"
547 likes, 78 comments.
Xu Zheqing's forehead was sweating, and he quickly closed the page, and said to Qin Sulan with a wry smile:
"I was also nervous, so I browsed Zhihu."
Qin Sulan sat down in her seat and asked, "How high up is this topic on the hot list now?"
"7th, it looked like 7th just now. Wait a minute, let me check again..." After a while, Xu Zheqing looked up and whispered, "4th."
"well……"
Qin Sulan pressed her forehead and sighed deeply.
The reason for this question is actually this:
Previously, an employee of the company was discussing the new game of Donghuang Qixing in an internal forum, and said that the development difficulty of their game was actually not as good as that of Yuanmo.
For the employees of Beichen Company, this sentence is common sense.
Judging from the PV alone, the game developed by Donghuang Qixing is not difficult to develop, and the suspicion of fraud is obvious.
The development of Genmo is nothing short of a miracle. In an era of mobile games where real-time combat is a major selling point, this game can actually create a seamless world with a full map on mainstream mobile phones on the market.
The generation gap between the two is as obvious as that between a crossbow and a machine gun, so it is not surprising that employees at Beichen Company have such thoughts.
As a result, these words somehow leaked out and were screenshoted and posted on major forums.
As a result, this incident became extremely popular overnight and was blasted by the entire Internet.
All this is because the common sense that "Original Demon" is better than "Alien Jianghu" is considered common sense within Beichen Company, but it is not the case among the player community.
