“On the 1st of October, the experience store officially opened the trial of ‘end of the United States’. ”
“There were still a lot of players who were interested in ‘end of the United States’. After all, it was Chen Mo’s game, so it was natural for them to trust him. ”
What the players didn’t know was that the trial was not only in the experience store.
“Chen Mo had already sent the complete version of ‘end of the United States’ to all the video game media, so that they could start reviewing the game as soon as possible. ”
“It wasn’t that Chen Mo didn’t want to promote ‘doomsday of the United States’, since it was a publicly acknowledged masterpiece. There was no such thing as a ‘stepmother’s child’. ”
“However, the game wasn’t suitable to be promoted in traditional ways. Even if they tried to promote it forcefully, the effect wouldn’t be good. ”
“For the players, they would only understand the meaning of “”godly work”” at the end of the game. ”
“Since that was the case, there was no need for those cumbersome advertising methods. They could just post a promotional cinematic and it would be over. ”
“Of course, if they didn’t do any publicity at all, the sales would definitely not be good on the 15th. No matter how good “”doomsday of United States”” was and how well-received it was by the players, it would still take some time for it to really become popular. ”
That was why Chen Mo gave the complete version of the game to the famous video game media in advance. He hoped that they’d be able to produce their reviews before the game was officially released.
“At that time, all the players would be shocked, right? ”
……
“1st of October, morning. ”
“As soon as the experience store opened, the players lined up at the door came in in an orderly manner, swiped their ID cards, and went to different floors. ”
“The experience store already had a very fixed group of players. Every holiday or when a new game was released, the number of players in the experience store would explode, so these players had formed a certain rule. They woke up early every day to try out the game in an orderly manner. ”
Chen Zhao had woken up quite early today. He was already sitting on the sofa in the living room.
“The first batch of players had already headed straight for the VR experience area on the third floor. Since most of Chen Mo’s current games were VR, the VR experience area was the most popular. ”
“However, there were also many players in the PC and mobile experience zones, and they would soon be filled to the brim. ”
Chen Mo saw a familiar figure among the players who had gotten up early to line up.
“””Zhao Lei?”” Chen Zhao raised his head and greeted him. ”
“Zhao Lei was a little surprised.””Manager, you still remember me? Good Morning.”” ”
“Chen Mo smiled.””Of course I remember. It felt like you haven’t been in the experience store for a long time. I thought you’d left the capital.”” ”
“Zhao Lei shook his head.””It’s a long story. I met a girl I liked during a blind date. After I got married, there were a lot of things to do. The child was just born two months ago, and I was so busy. It’s a holiday today, so I decided to take a break and come to the experience store. “” ”
“Chen Mo was a little surprised,’already a father? “”Congratulations, congratulations.”” How about this, I’ll give you a game later. “” ”
“Zhao Lei smiled.””You’re too kind, manager. I’ll go up and play some games first. There won’t be anywhere to go if I’m late.”” Let’s talk in detail when I come down. “” ”
“Chen Mo nodded.””Alright, you can try out the new game. It’s just released today.”” ”
“Zhao Lei nodded.””That’s for sure. I’m here for the new game.”” I haven’t been to the experience store for two years, but I’ve been keeping an eye on your new game. “” ”
Zhao Lei went up to the third floor after greeting Chen Mo.
Zhao Lei was a white-collar worker who used to come to the experience store often. He was a typical Beijing drifter and had a lot of pressure in life. He had tried out The Stanley Parable before.
“However, he didn’t come back to the experience store for a long time, and Chen Mo thought he had left the Imperial City. After all, life in the Imperial City was very stressful, and Zhao Lei was already in his thirties. It wasn’t good for him to keep floating around. ”
“However, to Chen Mo’s surprise, Zhao Lei was already married and had not left the imperial capital. ”
One could imagine that his daily life must have been quite hard.
……
“Zhao Lei came to the third floor and found that more than half of the game cabins were already occupied. In the elevator, he seemed to see two or three familiar faces. They seemed to be online streamers? ”
“Back when Zhao Lei visited the experience store, Minecraft was the only VR game available, and League of Legends, which dominated the PC market, hadn’t been developed yet. Chen Mo was still a normal B-grade videogame designer back then. ”
“In the blink of an eye, Chen Mo had become one of the top designers in the country, and had created many classic VR games. ”
“Even the experience store was filled with new faces, and there were many streamers. ”
Time flew by.
Zhao Lei sighed with emotion and found a gaming pod to enter.
“The login interface of the game cabin was the theme of the mysterious Sea area, and there were already many VR games in the game cabin, dazzling to the eyes. ”
“At the most eye-catching spot was “”the end of the United States states.”” ”
“This is the manager’s new game, let’s try it out.”” ”
“Zhao Lei didn’t hesitate and chose to enter ‘end of the United States’. After all, it was a new game. ”
……
He entered the game.
“Unlike other games,””end of the United States”” didn’t have a login scene at the beginning. It was as if he had entered the game directly, and it was pitch black. ”
“””Drip, drip, drip …”” ”
The crisp and powerful ticking of the clock rang in Zhao Lei’s ears.
“Then, the game screen appeared. ”
“In front of Zhao Lei’s vision, a little girl was lying on the sofa, seemingly asleep. ”
The little girl moved her arm slightly as if she was not sleeping well.
“The sound of a door opening came from the side. A middle-aged man was on the phone as he walked in, and the camera turned to him in time. ”
“””Tommy, he’s the contractor, okay? I can’t lose this job. I know … Let’s talk in the morning, okay?”” ”
“The lights were on, and the little girl was awake. The middle-aged man sat down on the sofa. ”
The middle-aged man was worried about his work today.
The little girl had thoughtfully prepared a birthday present for him-a watch.
“The father and daughter made a few jokes with each other. Although it was not a particularly touching scene, it made people feel inexplicably warm. ”
It was late at night.
The Father picked up the little girl and went upstairs to sleep.
“””Good night, baby.”” ”
“His vision was fixed on the little girl who was sleeping soundly. The light was slowly dimming, indicating that some time had passed. ”
“At this moment, the phone on the bedside table rang. ”
“It was a strange phone call. Uncle Tom was looking for the little girl’s father, and then the phone was hung up. ”
“The little girl climbed down from the bed and rubbed her sleepy eyes, not quite understanding what had happened. However, she still decided to look for her father first. ”
“At this moment, the camera automatically moved to the back of the little girl, and the game began. ”
“Zhao Lei was a little surprised,””this game … Isn’t in first person?”” Is it a third person perspective?”” ”
“At this moment, Zhao Lei’s vision was above and behind the little girl. This was a standard over-shoulder view, which was very common in many PC games. ”
“However, in VR games, because the player’s field of view was wider and to enhance the player’s sense of immersion, many games used a first-person perspective. ”
Chen Mo ‘s’ end of the United States ‘seemed to be a bit old-school in terms of perspective.
