Chapter 1185: Chapter 1079 – Giving Players a Little Shock of Imagination_1 Chapter 1185: Chapter 1079 – Giving Players a Little Shock of Imagination_1 Lincoln, leading Xiaong, headed directly to Stormy Ocean on the lunar surface.
Then at the center of the most prominent lunar crater in Stormy Ocean — [Kepler Crater], he placed a pure black rectangular stone slab with proportions of [1:4:9].
— Absolute [1:4:9], under current conditions, this is absolutely impossible in reality, but in the virtual world it is simply trivial, just filling in numbers.
Besides, the virtual world does not have such an explosively precise ruler…
Then it was Copernicus Crater, Archides Crater, Plato Crater…
Every striking crater seen from space, every famous crater in the lunar maria, Lincoln and Xiaong placed a pure black stone slab with proportions of [1:4:9] in its very center.
Of course, Lincoln also programd it so that players would only find one black stone slab on the moon.
...
After finding the first one, the other slabs would automatically disappear, ensuring the uniqueness of the first slab.
As for the purpose of this slab?
Well, Lincoln hasn’t quite figured that out yet.
But that’s not important.
After all, the players were just complaining that there was nothing at all on the lunar surface, and he has just added sothing to it.
As for its function…
that’s not important.
Players can guess!
If they guess enough, maybe they’ll guess right (and Lincoln will copy).
After Lincoln and Xiaong efficiently completed this task, they happily returned to slack off on their small sofa.
What?
Work?
The morning’s work was already done, they’ll address any issues in the afternoon!
…
…
After slacking off all morning, Lincoln took Xiaong to the moon again in the afternoon.
The reason is simple—
While he had taken a nap at noon, the “disappointnt” post received more than 200,000 likes!
And it’s still on the rise!
The number of players comnting in the comnt section is also constantly increasing, even many foreign languages have appeared!
Clearly, overseas players sohow got the news and have co over to “team build”.
This made Lincoln deflated.
“Now it’s not a problem that can be solved by a single slab!”
“We must give them a small dose of creative shock!”
“Hooray!” Xiaong cheered, “Are we going to blow up the moon?
Or blow up the Earth?
Or blow up their spaceships?”
Xiaong was full of excitent.
“Uh…” Lincoln hesitated for a mont, “That seems a bit extre…”
“Oh… so what are we going to do?” Xiaong asked again.
“I plan to give them a good scare!”
Lincoln put the serious stuff aside and started bustling about with Xiaong.
Anyway, integrating other dostic ga developers is not a matter of a day or two.
*
His thought of “integrating ga developers” ca up because he read Zoe’s latest report in the “Da Xia Industry Observer”.
It was her third series of reports on the dostic gaming industry, with Bluebird Alliance as the main interviewee.
At the ti of her second interview, Bluebird Alliance was still in the “copying Cloud Dream” phase and had produced so excellent casual gas.
These gas were getting three tis as much revenue in the upwind from the surge in the number of dostic players and the strong demand from casual gars.
ṅοѵǤο.сο
Even without copying Cloud Dream to make casual gas, the explosion in the number of dostic players also greatly boosted their sales.
But after [Mirage] appeared, their gaming carrier was behind the tis and this was an inevitable objective phenonon.
The prosperity at that ti was just a temporary resurgence.
Now, as the content in the virtual world becos more and more expansive, rich, and amazing, PC gas and console gas are heading downhill – the degradation is second only to VR gas.
Instead, arcades, portable consoles, and mobile gas that have their own unique application scenarios are suffering less impact.
This led to the perception in the public view that Bluebird Alliance is in a deathlike state and bound to collapse sooner or later.
But Zoe’s interview shattered this impression.
The output of Bluebird Alliance’s independent gas has indeed plunged to a very dangerous level, but the number of mbers of the alliance, far from decreasing, is even larger than before!
Against the backdrop of the shrinking size of large companies, these small studios, on the other hand, have more than doubled their numbers!
The reduction in ga output is because they hardly make traditional independent gas anymore – they’ve all run off to the virtual world to make paid modules!
They transford their ideas, passions, and creativity about gas into modules and released them in the virtual world.
With the staggered opening and updating of Cloud Dream’s mod developnt kit, their technical power is gradually increasing, and the quality of the mods produced is high.
So small studios have already made the transition from “star independent studios” to “star mod developnt teams”.
The studios on the list that make the most money have even beco “advanced taxpayers” in their region.
– Cloud Dream’s own gas are tax-free, but the inco from modules is not.
Because the foreign exchange generated from modules is also handled by Cloud Dream on behalf of them, after all, so mod developnt teams have less than 10 people in total…
And quite often, those trending mods are churned out by these small teams.
Two months ago, a mod was even developed that created a rudintary version of an MOBA ga, which was trendy for a while and made the six-person team rich overnight.
Up to now, this mod has maintained a significant heat, becoming one of the evergreen mods on the mod sharing platform, through their continuous optimization and upgrading.
In just a few months, such legendary stories have been staged over and over again.
So in her report, Zoe depicted Cloud Dream as a towering giant tree and these large and small independent studios as intricate, infinitely growing aerial roots.
They have beco a complex, complete, and infinitely vital ecosystem.
…
…
The content of this report is very rich, including a macro perspective and specific characters (she interviewed many of the “legendary story” protagonists), as well as easy-to-spread anecdotes-
Many small teams’ greatest wish is surprisingly to “be incorporated by Cloud Dream early,” and only then is it to have their “own mods trending.”
Under these multiple influences, this report generated quite a significant impact.
In any case, what’s important for Lincoln is to understand the current business conditions of dium and small ga developers in China, and to begin thinking about advancing his next plan.
Importing these initially trained capacities into the virtual world.
No longer simply confined to the [Mod Sharing Platform], but actually contributing to the construction of the entire virtual world!
This was sothing he had considered when the external storage plug-in of [Peace Paradise] went on sale.
But to actually start, you need to be prepared for “developer team selection”, “user spending power assessnt”, “hardware and software compatibility” and other aspects.
This requires a sufficiently well thought out plan.
In simple terms—”it won’t be done in a day”.
So, do the moon first!
“From day one, I’ve been thinking about taking their [logout] keys away!”
