Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Ga Expo
The developnt of "Star Emperor" was more challenging than the first two gas and was only preliminarily completed by mid-May.
During this period, Chen Ba and his studio partners burned countless brain cells to barely finish the diverse visual effects in the ga, creating a semi-finished product.
Yes, a semi-finished product!
There are still many areas in the ga that haven’t been polished. The current developnt progress can only be considered barely playable.
"It’s enough to exhibit!"
Although it’s just a semi-finished product, Chen Ba was already very satisfied.
For the upcoming video ga exhibition in Zhonghai, Tianba Studio also registered, and thanks to the hype of the "Dream Building 5 Engine," secured a decent booth for "Star Emperor."
In terms of scale and level, this Zhonghai Ga Exhibition might not be the highest tier, not even the topmost ga exhibition dostically.
But this is the ga exhibition with the highest player participation, lacking the nature of developer interactions, and is more public-oriented.
Simply put: not very professional, but with a large crowd!
Participating in this exhibition would undoubtedly be very effective for the exposure and promotion of "Star Emperor," and could attract the attention of more players and dia.
For this reason, Chen Ba even contacted two Cosers, custom-made costus of Star Emperor and Feather Venerable for them, to pose at the venue, sure to have a good effect.
"Dong, Lu, and Zhong Shengwei will co with , the others stay at the studio."
After arranging the personnel, Chen Ba asked, "Are the custom ga posters and T-shirts ready?"
"Ready!"
Zhang Xiaojun bent down upon hearing this and took out a white short-sleeve T-shirt with a special pattern from a box under the table.
The front of the T-shirt was printed with "Star Emperor," and the back had the logo of "Tianba Ga Studio."
This was the battle attire for the exhibition!
Chen Ba took a look and nodded, "How many were made?"
"Five hundred!"
So many? That should be enough!
Chen Ba calculated that besides the few they would wear themselves, the rest could be given as gifts to players.
Giving away T-shirts also has a threshold; it’s impossible to give one to every player who cos to the booth, or a few hundred wouldn’t be enough.
His idea was that players who could complete the first three levels of the storyline in the trial experience phase within 10 minutes could receive a "Star Emperor" commorative T-shirt.
The trial version only had the first three levels of the story mode.
Although the studio jokingly called the story mode a bot ga, not too hard, completing three levels in 10 minutes wasn’t simple.
Especially for first-ti players who weren’t familiar with key operations and who seldom played fighting gas, passing one level in 10 minutes would be considered successful.
...
Zhonghai, Donghua Station.
Jiang Bin, carrying a bag, followed the crowded flow of people out of the tro carriage, glanced at the navigation info on his phone, and headed towards the exhibition center not far away.
As an editor for Ga Starry Sky, he occasionally had business trips.
For example, he had to co to today’s Zhonghai Video Ga Exhibition to take so photos and understand the ground situation before writing an exhibition report.
This wasn’t Jiang Bin’s first ti attending the Zhonghai Ga Exhibition.
As a senior editor for a ga portal site, he had visited in the previous two years, writing featured columns for so popular gas at the exhibitions.
However, because he had been there a few tis, Jiang Bin didn’t hold much expectation for the new gas unveiled at the exhibition.
This exhibition was too low-tier!
Not many big companies participated, and most were small firms or studios, with the showcased gas primarily being mobile gas, not the PC standalone gas he preferred.
"It’s almost turning into a mobile ga exhibition..."
Sighing, Jiang Bin flipped open a list of participating companies and ga titles provided to the dia by the exhibition organizer.
As expected, the list mainly consisted of mobile gas, and among the remaining gas, none stood out or caught his interest.
"Oh... Tianba Studio?"
Just as Jiang Bin was losing interest and about to leave after wandering around a bit, he suddenly spotted a very familiar na.
Tianba Studio, Star Emperor!
Wow, this is interesting!
Jiang Bin rembered Tianba Studio, as he had just interviewed them not long ago and played their previous two gas.
Unexpectedly, they were participating, bringing along a mysterious new work, created using the Dream Building 5 Engine, boasting comparable 3A grade visual performance, "Star Emperor."
"Star Emperor..."
As a ga news editor, Jiang Bin had broader information sources than ordinary players and knew more inside details.
Rumor had it, "Star Emperor" seed to be a combat-type 3D ga with excellent visual performance.
How excellent was it?
He had inquired about this from quite a few people.
Unfortunately, everyone was just guessing based on the Dream Building 5 Engine, and no one could say for sure.
Today, the mystery could finally be unveiled!
Driven by intense curiosity, Jiang Bin took out a pen and circled "Star Emperor," planning to visit the Tianba Studio booth first.
He was too excited.
On one hand, Tianba Studio’s previous two gas left a deep impression on him, and he believed the new work wouldn’t disappoint either.
On the other hand, it was one of the few Dream Building 5 gas globally!
The Dream Building 5 Engine had been released for half a year, everyone said it was great, but how great exactly and what kind of ga it could produce, no one was sure.
After all, this engine had been released too recently.
Until now, apart from a few unnoticed small gas, there hadn’t been any major works developed using the Dream Building 5 Engine.
Could "Star Emperor" showcase this new engine’s power?
With countless questions, Jiang Bin hung his dia badge around his neck, cara in hand, and entered the central area of the exhibition.
Zone B, No. 07.
Tianba Studio’s booth was easy to find, right next to a mobile ga by the Pig Factory, readily visible upon entering the exhibition hall.
"Don’t push, don’t push!"
"Take photos on the side, don’t affect the normal trial queue..."
As soon as Jiang Bin arrived at the booth, he saw Ba maintaining order with Lu.
There were too many people!
The cosplaying of Star Emperor and Feather Venerable was very professional, especially Feather Venerable, with a female character resembling an angel, surrounded by hordes of photographers.
Glancing at Ba who was busy and sweating, Jiang Bin abandoned the idea of greeting and leisurely joined the queue.
About half an hour later, it was finally his turn.
There were ten machines for trial play, and Zhong Shengwei pointed to machine number six: "You can only play for 10 minutes, both keyboard and controller are available, finish the trial to get a commorative T-shirt, thank you for your cooperation and support!"
"Alright."
With limited ti, Jiang Bin didn’t hesitate with this staff mber, walked to machine six, put down his backpack and cara, and picked up the controller to start experiencing it.
Why choose the controller?
Isn’t it obvious? Who plays fighting gas with a keyboard and mouse?
As a player proficient at both, Jiang Bin instinctively felt a controller would be better than keyboard and mouse, but soon he noticed sothing was off.
