This is not a BUG, this is a game feature

Chapter 19 Old wine in new bottles? New wine in old bottles!

"Brother Jiang, see you tomorrow!"

"good!"

Jiang Bin looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the office, feeling helpless.

As the information editor of the well-known domestic stand-alone game portal "Game Star", his daily work is like this.

Work overtime, keep working overtime!

As long as you can't survive it and keep working overtime...

When the gaming industry is calm, it is also when he is at his most leisurely.

But once there is a new blockbuster game released in the gaming industry, or there is some big news in the industry, that is when he is busiest.

There are very few days in a year when you truly “get off work on time”.

After all, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, several hot new games emerge in the gaming industry almost every month.

Once this happens, he will have to work overtime to write and publish the latest game information as soon as possible.

Today is another day of overtime work!

As a game enthusiast, Jiang Bin actually does not object to working overtime. On the contrary, he quite enjoys it.

Because the reason why he joined Game Star in the first place was because of his love for stand-alone games!

Jiang Bin can discover one or two surprising new games every month and can witness the development and progress of the industry with his own eyes. Jiang Bin feels very gratified and full of motivation.

If one day, he suddenly stops being busy, and there will be no new games worthy of his publication in the gaming industry...

That may not be something to be happy about, because it represents the decline and decline of the game industry!

"Oh, did you reply to my message?"

Picking up his phone and looking at the WeChat chat box, Jiang Bin was a little surprised. He didn't expect the producer of [Hanchuang Kudu Simulator] to reply to him so quickly.

This is a new game that he is very concerned about!

Although the game has only been released for 40 days, it has already achieved a sales miracle of 200,000 copies on the steam platform.

For a domestic independent game, this is already a huge hit!

When he learned about this treasure game through a friend's recommendation and tried it himself, he immediately decided to conduct an online interview with the game's producer.

The editor-in-chief has agreed.

After all, it is an independent game that has sold more than 200,000 copies. If Game Star does not report it, it is completely inconsistent with their purpose.

However, how to contact the game producer named "GameBugs" became Jiang Bin's biggest headache.

This guy is new!

If you want to contact a new person like this who has never dealt with him before, you have to either be introduced by a third party or you can only send an email.

After asking around, no one seems to know "GameBugs".

So Jiang Bin sent an email.

As a result, the email disappeared. Jiang Bin, guessing that the other party was too busy to check the email, came up with a good idea.

First get involved in the fan group, then reveal your identity and add a WeChat friend.

Not to mention...

This trick is much more effective than sending an email!

After joining GameBugs as a friend, Jiang Bin also got some exclusive inside information about [Hanchuang Kudu Simulator].

For example, the producer’s real name is Chen Ba!

This suddenly popular game is actually an independent game created by Chen Ba alone, which took two and a half years to create. No other person was involved in the whole process.

The game's plot idea was actually adapted by producer Chen Ba based on his own school experience. There is some exaggeration, but not much.

When Chen Ba told him that he had set up a studio and started developing a second game, Jiang Bin asked for information about the second game.

"Household simulator?"

"You will play the role of a high school student in the game, going to your aunt's house for boarding dozens of kilometers away from home, and experience the mixed boarding life and youthful campus life..."

After looking at the game introduction sent by Chen Ba and the relevant promotional pictures of the game, Jiang Bin suddenly became interested.

"Is it still the same type as the Hanchuang Kudu simulator?"

"Yes, almost."

"Will this give players the stereotype of old wine in a new bottle, changing the soup without changing the medicine?" Jiang Bin asked curiously.

"Won't!"

"Although it is the same type of game, the development gameplay is similar, but after playing it, you will find that it is completely different from Han Chuang Kushu Simulator..."

That’s good, that’s good!

Jiang Bin, who was originally worried that this young man would lose himself due to the success of his previous work and embark on a path of no return, felt relieved after hearing these words.

It is very common in the gaming industry to replace the soup without changing the medicine, and put old wine in new bottles!

After all, it’s so easy to make money by re-skinning an old game and reselling it with a set of art resources.

It’s not that many game producers have never been popular, but after they became popular, most of them lost their enterprising spirit and chose to rest on their laurels without thinking.

A game becomes popular?

Then the second generation, the third generation, the fourth generation...it won't end until the players are heartbroken and there is no sales at all.

Jiang Bin is very worried that Chen Ba is also this kind of person. Because his previous game became popular, he couldn't wait to make a skin-changing game to make money, thus ruining his career future.

Now it seems that he still knows it well.

"Okay, I'll go play."

After learning that [Ji Ren Xia Simulator] already had an early access version, Jiang Bin directly logged on to the steam platform and bought a copy without saying anything.

Not bad, it’s also 18 yuan!

However, this is the price of the early access version. I don’t know how much the subsequent official version will be priced at, but it should be more expensive than the previous version.

Because he still had to write a manuscript, Jiang Bin could not devote himself wholeheartedly to the game. He only tried it for a few minutes and then quit the game.

"Self-esteem? Interesting!"

Although he has only been playing for a short time, and has not even finished the first semester of high school, Jiang Bin has already felt the charm of [Living under the Fence Simulator].

Players have more freedom!

Compared with the previous game, players can only play according to the linear plot set by the game. This time, "Simulator" is more free and more random.

For example, after school, you can go home or stay at school. You can also go to seven or eight locations in the city, parks, playgrounds, Internet cafes, etc. to start different event routes.

This is worthy of praise!

Although the plot of the previous game [Han Chuang Kudu Simulator] was touching, players spent most of their time in a "movie-watching" state and did not feel much freedom.

This is also a point that players often complain about. Either study or herd cattle, there are not many choices!

This time it's different.

If you love to study, go study. If you love working, go to a restaurant to wash dishes. If you love fooling around, go to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet or play in a billiard hall. If you love picking up garbage, go to the street and dig through the trash cans...

"After you experience it, you will find that this is completely different from the cold study simulator!"

Thinking of the message sent by Chen Ba, Jiang Bin nodded immediately.

He really didn't lie!

The simulator of living under someone's roof is indeed different from the simulator of studying hard in the cold window, and it is very different.

If anyone wants to say that this is old wine in new bottles, just slap him to death.

You call this old wine in new bottles?

Does your old wine look like this? This is obviously new wine in old bottles, so don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand!
