MTL - Underworld Game Producer-Chapter 167 Best Horror Game of the Year - Escape
【Death Game Producer】【】
After all, Happy Paradise is the originator of pure horror games, although there have been some excellent pure horror games on the market since then.
But it is still worse than Happy Paradise.
The horror games of other companies seem to be focusing on it, and they have not completely let go.
The reason for this is mainly because the second world sub-era platform has a strong sense of substitution.
Immersive is not just an adjective, but a real sense that allows players to enter the horror game and feel the excitement brought by the horror game with their own body and mind.
In this way, if the game is too horrible, it may even be sued, so the game manufacturers are putting their hands on it.
If you let go of all of them and go in the direction of scaring people to death, how many people will dare to buy horror games?
Don't look at Li Wen has already started to make very scary games like evil spirits possessed.
When making it, I will not do it in the direction of scaring people...
This is not the sense of substitution of the old platform in the past. If we want to do this in the next era, it will really scare people to death.
Horror Game of the Year, last earned by Escape.
Li Wen took the stage to accept the award.
"cough..."
He coughed lightly and looked at the black crowd below the stage, as well as the old man Qiu among the crowd with fire-breathing eyes.
"Escape won the horror game of the year. It is not my own efforts. It is the result of the joint efforts of all our employees in Happy Paradise. Thank you players for supporting the game Escape. We will bring you more fun games in the future."
He used a very official set of acceptance speeches, and read them without emotion.
It's pretty much a given that Escape gets Horror Game of the Year.
After all, Escape is an epoch-making game that opens up a new pure horror game track in this world.
It is a very important enlightenment work for today's increasingly huge horror game market.
Escape not only affected the horror game market, but also affected the difficulty of many subsequent games.
Before escaping, the games on the market basically only have one difficulty, the easy difficulty.
Today's game manufacturers, when developing new games, will also consider the difficulty of the game, and will specifically add a difficult difficulty.
Although it is much simpler than Li Wen's normal difficulty, after all, many game manufacturers have not yet had the courage to equip monsters with intelligent AI to predict the player's operations and catch the player by surprise.
They are still relatively conservative. At most, they have strengthened the monster's attack power and monster's blood volume.
Li Wen's normal difficulty never piles up blood and attack power, but simply equips monsters with intelligent ai, allowing monsters to directly transform into gods of war, and abuse the players so much that they forget their names.
Only a few players who like challenges will touch the normal mode.
In the beginning, when the players came into contact with the normal mode, they would complain about Li Wen when they were killed by monsters again and again.
Now, players who are used to the normal mode have already adapted, and there are fewer and fewer players complaining about Li Wen.
In the normal mode, after the players get used to it, they enjoy it quite a bit. What they enjoy is the moment when they finally break through the difficulty.
How depressing the previous players were, how much fun they will have when they finally break through the difficulty.

This kind of pleasure is completely beyond the reach of other games that pile up monster blood and attack power.
With its difficulty differentiation and the feat of opening up the pure horror game market, Escape deserves to be the horror game of the year.
As for the best game of the year, Escape is still far behind in terms of size, plot, and various details in the game. The high probability is to accompany the escape.
The host also asked Li Wen some questions.
For example, will the dawn of the night go online at the same time all over the world...
After all, before the game Battle Royale, the Huaxia server had been open for almost a month, and it was the petitions of foreign server players that barely opened the global server.
For foreigners, it does feel a little neglected.
The live broadcast of Xiaotian at the dawn of the night was not only noticed by domestic players, but also by foreigners.
Foreigners are also very interested in this game.
The forums of foreigners are full of quarrels, and they hope to be able to play such a fairy fighting game with enough cultivation elements for the first time.
Li Wen was taken aback by the host's question.
He didn't expect the host to ask such a question at all.
For the game of Dawn of the Dark Night, he really didn't think about opening the server to the whole world, after all, he had to test the waters in China first.
This is a 'new fee' model game.
If the country cannot make money, there is a high probability that it will be removed from the shelves and new games will be redeveloped.
Although the dawn of the night seems to be quite popular now.
But after this kind of character dies, there is nothing left, and you need to spend six yuan to buy the setting of character rebirth. In today's game era where the buyout system is rampant and free in-app purchase games have just emerged.
How out of place, whether he can succeed, he actually doesn't know.
As for why not make it into an online game, a permanent online game for character development.
It's very simple. The maintenance cost of an online game is very high. To be honest, the point-card game has declined.
In this era, you can't make much money at all, and you need to keep updating new versions every once in a while to increase player stickiness.
If the updated version can be loved by players, players will definitely be willing to spend money to renew and continue to play.
However, if a certain version becomes a version that players hate, then a large number of players will quit.
For game companies, this is an unstable bomb, which will detonate if you don't pay attention.
Point card games have been eliminated long ago in this world.
Manufacturers prefer the buyout system, selling the entire game to players at once, regardless of subsequent versions of the game.
If the game sells well, some dlc can be released to continue to make the game shine.
Of course, Li Wen would not engage in any outdated card-based games.
That's why we tried a new payment method, a payment method that allows more players to enter the pit.
Buyout games, whether for players or game manufacturers, are indeed a pretty good model.
However, this also led to players rarely trying other types of games.
Maybe, other types of games can also make it fun to play?

This can be regarded as a small shortcoming of the buyout game.
Li Xin's new charging model is to lower the charging threshold so that more people can try the game.
Coupled with the mechanism that the data will be deleted when the character dies, the game company does not have to launch large versions so frequently.
It can also be called a good name for players to cherish every life of the character.
Let the players be very cautious during the game, and let the players really play the game with their brains.
Especially after the level is high, you must carefully consider the risks before doing anything, and try to avoid avoiding risks as much as possible.
To be honest with this model, Li Wen really didn't know if the game would be popular.
At this time, when asked by the host, he could only answer in very official words.
"At present, the game of Dawn of the Dark Night is a brand-new model, so it is not planned to be released all over the world at the beginning, but players all over the world can rest assured that the game will eventually be released all over the world."
Of course, as for when it will be listed all over the world, it is impossible to say for sure.
Holding the trophy, he returned to his seat amidst the applause of the audience.
The eyes that looked at Li Xin never moved away from the trophy in his hand.
He handed the trophy to Li Xin.
The trophy is actually a thing made of transparent glass covered with some copper and plastic.
Although the shape looks very valuable, it is actually not valuable at all, at least in his opinion.
On the street, it is estimated that fifty yuan can buy two such trophies.
In the following awards show, Li Wen basically had nothing to do.
None of the games from Happy Paradise were shortlisted.
Until, when Li Wen was about to fall asleep, the highlight of this awards show finally started, the best game of the year.
In total, fifteen games were nominated for Game of the Year nominations.
The facade games of the three major domestic manufacturers were all shortlisted.
The other best games of the year shortlisted are basically very popular games this year.
These games are the New Year's games of the world's top game manufacturers.
Out of fifteen games, Escape seems out of place.
The cost of the other 14 games is calculated in units of 100 million, plus the announcement and distribution, etc., are all huge.
Sales are also calculated in billions.
The production cost and sales volume of Escape are not very harmonious among this bunch of nominated games of the year.
Escape was nominated for Game of the Year precisely because of the feat of opening up the market for pure horror games.
Being nominated for Game of the Year is not a back door either...
It's a pity that it's only limited to nominations.
This time the best game of the year is "Desert" from the beautiful country.
Desert is a cyberpunk-style open world game. The background of the game is 2077. The world is monopolized by capitalists. The world's technological level is very advanced, but the vast majority of people live in poverty.
When Li Wen first saw this game, he thought it was Cyberpunk 2077 from another world.
Of course, this is not the case.
There is more than just a Night City in the desert.
This is a next-generation game, the game has an astonishing 300-hour process just for the main storyline.

There are three main cities in the game, and players can continue to play in the three main cities by means of airplanes.
The game did not draw big pie and shrink, it is a real cyberpunk 2077.
At least in Li Wen's eyes, the desert is the real cyberpunk 2077.
He has been taking the time to play this game, but he has not cleared the level until now.
The plot of the game is also simple and clear.
Cyberpunk, in order to resist the world ruled by the company, do a series of anti-corporate things.
Even, you can create your own forces and turn the city into your own private property.
The content of the game is very rich, and I want to play all the content of the game completely.
Li Wen didn't know how much time it would take.
It is not surprising that the game of the desert can win the game of the year.
The other nominated games are pretty good too.
For example, the new gilt launched by Penguin Games this time.
It is also based on the development of the second world, which maximizes the functions of the second world, and the game content is very rich.
It really makes people feel like living in a martial arts world.
Walk the world with a sword, happy to be kind and enmity.
This game is also very good, it can be said that it is comparable to the desert.
Although the desert won in the end, it does not mean that Gilt is inferior to the desert.
The same goes for other games.
Those who can be nominated for the best game of the year are of very high quality.
But, there is only one winner.
Desert beat the crowd, and finally won the best game of the year award.
Other running games can only be overshadowed.
Li Wen didn't care. Although Escape was nominated for the best game of the year, he knew that unless the sun came out to the west, it would be impossible for Escape to win the game of the year.
It is the soul of the devil that he has already started to produce.
This game is likely to win the Game of the Year award.
Of course, the prerequisite for Demon's Soul to win the Best Game of the Year award is that the players in this world are all shakers.
To win the Game of the Year award, the number of players must reach a certain level.
Although this is a program jointly organized by game manufacturers.
However, as the parents of food and clothing, players have a great influence on the final ownership of the best game of the year.
It doesn't happen that most gamers haven't played or even heard of the game winning the best game of the year award.
Generally speaking, the finalists for the best game of the year are selected by players after voting.
Unless it is some very pioneering games, it will be added after the organizer considers it.
For example, escape, after all, the number of players is there, and it is almost impossible to be shortlisted for the best game of the year based on the votes of players alone.
You know, the other shortlisted games have sold at least 100 million copies.
The desert game has sold one billion copies~www.novelbuddy.com~ and created a sales record for the company Desert.
The game has also become the fourth most popular game in the world.
It won the game of the year because the desert has a larger audience than other shortlisted games, and it just hits the players' points of interest.
...
After the awards show.

Li Wen chatted with Qiu Zixuan for a while, and then returned to the hotel with Li Xin.
Two people don't live in the same room...
Although the two were gossiped everywhere in the company, they are still pure colleagues.
There is a high probability that there will be no strange plots such as the boss xxxxxx in an action movie of an island country.
In addition, the two of them are very busy these days, and they will not stay in the beautiful country for a long time. After the awards show, they will return to the country the next day.
Now Li Xin has also been transferred to the production team of Demon's Soul as an art designer.
So, she is also very busy.
Devil's Soul is currently the game with the largest investment in Happy Paradise.
Art design is the top priority.
It is unlikely that Li Wen will hand over such an important job as art design to the newly recruited newcomers.
The two he trusts the most, Chen Chang, are busy making Resident Evil 3.
Therefore, only Li Xin is more relaxed in comparison.
Dawn of the Night has been completed, and there are very few places where she needs to be used at present.
Li Wen has now transferred her to the production team of Demon's Soul, and Zhang Chunsheng and Su Yang will not have any objections...
