Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

  Chapter 1172 Two agents

  The recovery of word of mouth is not achieved overnight.

   Just updating the building method and online gameplay can at most make the game more interesting, but it is not enough to make more players willing to return to the pit.

   Two days later, Mi Kefu's platform seemed to have reacted, and uploaded the latest version of the infinite world update resources.

   Soon the average number of people online in the infinite world on Mi Kefu's side is also slowly increasing.

   These are players who bought this game before, but were deeply hurt by this game.

  Recently, they were surprised to see that the infinite world is still being updated, and they also saw that this update has obviously become more fun, so they all returned to the pit.

   There were less than a hundred people left, and the number of people online at the same time has returned to the scale of more than 10,000.

  However, Mi Kefu did not earn too many update bonuses.

  Most players still went to the battle.net platform to play the infinite world, so the battle.net platform was considered a small profit.

   In order to encourage the Infinite World development team, Youxing Electronic Entertainment did not take a cut of this discount, and gave all the money to the development team to continue developing the game.

  They still need money to invest in the follow-up development, and then take the commission themselves, it is better to give them all the proceeds directly and let them distribute it themselves.

   This time, the word-of-mouth of Infinite World has been recovered quite well. Just like in the previous life, a good game can still arouse the interest of players as long as it has a good sign.

  And this team is also looking for a way to save it by itself, and they didn't sit still. It can be regarded as basically meeting Zhu Youxing's expectations.

   The team has not been idle either, and they have been working on it again since Infinite Worlds regained popularity.

   Next, they already have a new development plan.

   The first thing is to continue to optimize the game.

   Then add some new features and new plot stories.

  The current construction system is still quite basic. Their idea is to come up with a very logical production and construction system, so that this game has a production and construction gameplay mechanism.

   Then they are very ambitious and want to launch a construction gameplay similar to Sim City.

  In the infinite world, every world is strange, and they all have one thing in common, that is, there are not many signs of intelligent life.

  It is not impossible to use AI to generate, but the current technology is not yet that perfect. Generating a planet that is not too ugly at any time has already consumed AI computing power.

   Going to generate additional buildings and generate intelligent biomes is too difficult for this game and too difficult for game developers.

  So, they thought of a tricky way. Since there are no cities in this endless world, why not let the players do it themselves?

   This is what they got their inspiration from the mod workshop in Battle.net.

   There are many game-loving and creative players in this world.

  They like to add some interesting things to the game they are passionate about, so that the game has richer content.

  Mods also fully reflect the geek openness of the game itself. Some games with or without mods are not even a game.

  Their team now wants to develop players to build houses and buildings in an entire world, and then build cities and civilization systems in this world.

  Speaking of the civilization system, their team also wants to introduce another classic series of Youxing Electronic Entertainment: the "civilization" gameplay.

  Give players these tools and gameplay content, and let players create a world that they think is interesting. This is the coolest thing they can think of.

  Zhu Youxing was very satisfied with this proposal.

   It sounds like a lot of games are stitched together, but the stitching of games is actually not a big deal. There are a lot of articles in the world, and stitching between video games is also normal.

  The most important thing is to see whether the stitching itself is suspected of infringement, and whether the stitching is fun.

  Even if some game companies put perfect masterpieces in front of them and asked him to stitch them, he would not do it.

   This team still has ambitions, but it is hard to say whether this ambition will succeed.

  However, Zhu Youxing is still looking forward to another form of the "No Man's Sky" game in this world, a form that looks cooler.

   In this way, 2020 is over, and 2021 is ushered in.

   This year is the year when Zhu Youxing traveled to this world in his previous life, but the current Zhu Youxing is completely different from himself in his previous life.

  In this world, he has his own family and his own career.

  He also has concerns about this world.

   At the same time, there is another video game that will be released soon.

   Metal Gear Solid 5.

   In March 2021, the opening day of Youxing Carnival is also the day when Metal Gear Solid 5 will be released.

  Now, as the only protagonist in the Metal Gear series, Job is already a well-known character in the player community.

   Once upon a time, he lost his chance to be promoted to A-list movie star because of the permanent scar on his face.

   But by chance, he became a classic character in video games.

  After so many years, he has played this role and released many works, and this time, it will be the curtain call of the Metal Gear series. Jobe is somewhat sad.

  As the curtain call, Job also naturally became the protagonist of this star tour carnival.

  He personally appeared on stage, and personally promoted Metal Gear, and also recommended players to play Metal Gear 5.

  However, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment did not completely kill the Metal Gear series, but only said that it was temporarily closed.

Perhaps at some point in the future, Zhu Youxing misses this character, and at the same time his creative desire is full, he will restart this series, and then let Snake reappear in people's vision, just like another character from the previous life Classic stealth games like Agent Sam Fisher.

   "Mr. Job, it's your turn to play."

   At the stage backstage of the Star Carnival, Job has already dressed himself up. This is the image of the protagonist in the Metal Gear Solid 5 game he plays.

   Traveling around, wearing a pair of sunglasses, with a cigar in his mouth, his eyes are deep, and at the same time, there is a trace of loneliness and vicissitudes.

  As an actor, he has almost brought Snake to life. He is Snake himself, and Snake is him.

  Even Zhu Youxing praised Job himself.

  The Metal Gear series in the previous life did not have a so-called face model, it was completely a character image created through digital modeling at the beginning.

  The reason why Zhu Youxing is persistently looking for a face model that fits the image in this world is to see if a real image will be more popular among people.

   Facts have proved that this trick is not bad.

  Whether it is a live-action movie of the Metal Gear series or a game of the Metal Gear series, more people like this work because of the live-action face model,

   And because of the real face model, related movie awards will occasionally give Metal Gear a fortune.

  Job stood up, looked towards the stage, then nodded and walked towards the center of the stage.

   "Mr. Job, thank you for your dedication over the years, you are already Snake yourself!"

   "Mr. Job, I'm your fan. I really like your Snake. I hope to see your performance in live-action movies in the future!"

  The staff behind the scenes watched Job enter the center of the venue with a hint of admiration.

  Job smiled and thanked them one by one.

  The people who work behind the scenes are also great.

   Without them, there would be no such wonderful carnival.

   Then, with the countdown on the big screen on the stage, the entire venue became very dark.

   Immediately after the classic soundtrack of the Metal Gear series sounded, the big screen also began to play classic scenes in the Metal Gear series in a loop.

  In the audience, the players shouted passionately.

   Many of them are also fans of the Metal Gear series.

   This includes a real agent.

  That’s right, it’s a fake agent.

  His identity is the elite of a certain country.

   But it is still very dramatic to say, the reason why he became an agent is entirely because of the game work of Metal Gear.

   As a young man at the time, he thought it was super cool.

  Now, after becoming an agent, he quietly came to Japan, quietly watching Snake's curtain call.

  No one knows his real identity, but he looks more like an uncle next door in Europe and America, harmless to humans and animals, and has a beer belly.

   But in fact his fighting power is quite fierce.

   "Snake! Snake!"

  The players in the audience cheered the name of the protagonist of Metal Gear.

  Job also appeared in the center of the stage in a camouflage outfit, and then all the spotlights focused on Job.

   Immediately after the high-pitched music sounded, Job had turned into Snake, with sharp eyes, as if he could see through everyone in the audience.

   In terms of acting skills, Job has nothing to say, otherwise he would not have won an international film award for his role in the Metal Gear series.

  He's pretty bluffing when he's actually playing Snake.

   "All players, all agents, welcome to come, thank you for participating in the temporary curtain call of the Metal Gear series."

  Job smiled faintly, but it was only a smile. He is now Snake, and Snake is usually unsmiling. He must maintain Snake's personality.

  The players screamed, as if fans of ordinary idols met idols.

   "You guys are no different from us, you scream when you see something you like."

   "What do you know, Snake is much more handsome than those little fresh meat idols, this is a real man!"

   "Hey, hey, confrontation is not advisable."

  There will still be people's cheers from time to time in the audience.

   Immediately afterwards, Job on the stage began to talk about the development history of Metal Gear Solid and the general plot of this temporarily closed work.

   This time Snake will face the nuclear bomb crisis among multiple countries, and Snake needs to use his own knowledge and skills to solve this world-class trouble.

  The final result depends entirely on the players themselves.

  At the same time, Metal Gear Solid 5 is also the first time to develop online gameplay.

In the online game, every player will play the role of a nuclear weapon controller, and what they have to do is to defeat the enemy in this online battle world, destroy the weapons held by the enemy, and finally keep their own nuclear weapons to threaten everyone else.

   This kind of online still cannot escape the general framework of the usual battle mode.

   But it’s still very interesting to play. There are already relevant game trial content on the site of Youxing Carnival for players to experience.

As for the announcement of the online mode, it is scheduled for the middle of the year. By that time, most players should have cleared the main storyline of Metal Gear Solid, and they will have more feelings when they play the online mode of Metal Gear Solid. .

  In the audience, the real agent was a little sad.

  Agents also have the moment of curtain call after all.

  In the game, players will always remember that there are agents like Snake in this world.

  As for him, I am afraid that even at the moment of his death, no one will know his past work, let alone what efforts he has made for the peace of this world.

   But speaking of it, he didn't really do anything for the peace of the world. He served more for his own country.

  He feels ashamed at this point, Snake is obviously a person with greater ideals, and he is just a helpless member of this circle.

   If one day, he can save the world like Snake, even if he dies, he agrees.

   "Golden Snake, I have a mission, don't stay any longer."

   Just then, a voice sounded in the agent's ear.

  The eyes of the 'secret agent' who looked like an uncle next door immediately became sharp.

  Now he is like Snake on stage.

  Next, it is time for him to perform the task.

  As for Star Carnival and Metal Gear, it needs to be put aside temporarily.

  He quietly left the venue of the Youxing Carnival. There were so many people here that no one would notice that a person would leave quietly.

  This is also the best place for him to hide.

  However, before he left, he still took a look at the test site of Metal Gear and the sales area of ​​Metal Gear games not far away.

  There are Metal Gear peripherals for sale over there.

  Protagonist Snake's royal cigar, sunglasses, mechanical prosthetic hand, etc.

  He hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and walked towards the door of the shop that sold it.

   "Hi sir, do you have any peripherals to buy?"

  The clerk in charge of peripheral sales was stretching his neck and looking towards the direction of the stage just now. He is also a fan of the Metal Gear series, and he is also somewhat sentimental about Metal Gear's temporary curtain call.

  However, when he saw someone coming, he immediately resumed his professional status, and warmly greeted the foreigner in front of him.

   This foreigner looks... well, unremarkable.

   "I want to buy some Metal Gear peripherals, how much does the package cost?"

  'Agent' pointed to the peripherals of the Metal Gear series on display on the shelves, including books, sunglasses, wind scarves, and a series of peripherals.

   "Ah, I'll do the math later if you pack it." The clerk hurried over to get the calculator.

   "The total is... $3,726. There is a certain discount for packaged purchases, which can be reduced to $3,600. Do you want to buy them all?"

  He nodded: "Yes, it's a respect for the curtain call work. I'll write an address. Can you arrange to send it there?"

   "No problem, sir, we have mailing business here, and international mailing is okay."

   "Okay, thank you."

  The clerk immediately packed the goods, and then he found that the foreigner was about to leave after paying, and he couldn't help but walked forward.

   "Sir, may I ask you, are you a big fan of Metal Gear too?"

  'Agent' turned around: "That's right."

   "Sir, your vision is really good. This game is also my favorite. I hope you can have a good time playing Metal Gear Solid 5."

"Thanks."

  'Agent' didn't talk too much nonsense, his behavior just now was considered a violation, but he didn't care.

   It's his respect for Metal Gear.

   Then he quietly disappeared into the venue of the Youxing Carnival.
