In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Game Developers Conference opened in New York, USA.
It's quite the event for those in the video game industry.
Countless game companies are gathered here.
The core players of video games can also have the honor to come here to take photos with their idols in person.
Countless independent game makers have come to this place, hoping to gain more knowledge and tips related to video game production.
It's a place where the entire industry can communicate unimpeded.
In normal times, there may be very obvious competition among certain game companies, and they will fight to the death in the market.
But here, they have only one purpose, that is to communicate, grow, and become stronger.
Here they will put aside all disputes in the market, because that is what the marketing department of these game companies should do, not what they, game developers, should do.
Many companies will also choose to show their muscles at this time.
Some companies launched their improved dubbing systems, while others directly released their latest motion data codes to everyone.
Others will announce their own hardware products and proudly announce that their products will be epoch-making.
Of course, most of these may be stillborn, but every game-related technology demonstrated here will have various inspirations for everyone.
Aiko, Kazumi, and Yinchan have really gained a certain amount of fame now.
Dead Cells is a very classic template for post-strike.
At the beginning, Dead Cells suffered a lot of bad reviews. Most people thought that the difficulty of this game was deliberately disgusting players. Many players who couldn't accept it gave bad reviews without hesitation.
But after about a week, these evaluations began to change significantly.
Because more and more players who have played for a longer period of time are beginning to realize the fun of this game.
A game of risk and reward, which makes them experience a sense of excitement close to gambling.
Gambling is also part of human nature.
This is not the same as traditional gambling, it is just a human instinct to pursue randomness.
Dead Cells takes advantage of this and amplifies the effect.
Up to now, the sales volume of Dead Cells has reached more than 2 million, and it is currently the second best-selling independent game in the Battle.net platform record. The first is naturally Stardew Valley.
Relying on the results of this video game, the three of Aiko became one of the official invited teams for this developer conference.
They also had the opportunity to speak on stage.
The three of them were really excited, especially Hemei, she was not good at hiding her emotions at all.
Now I am even more excited because I can give a speech on stage.
Aiko and Yinchan were relatively calm.
So before going on stage, Aiko specially reminded Kazumi not to speak in public, and just leave everything to her and Yinchan.
Kazumi is also very interesting, she is very excited just because she thinks she can be on the podium where countless game developers are watching. As for the speech? That has nothing to do with her food, she doesn't want to give a speech, otherwise she will really suffocate.
On the podium, three girls wore uniform dresses.
On the long skirt, there are also the unique triangular logos of the studios of the three of them, which is also a good opportunity to promote their studios.
When they came to the podium, the three of them sat down one after another, and then they started their own speeches on game development understanding under the introduction of the host.
Aiko is really good at this kind of occasion, and she has already made many people deeply convinced by her words in just a short while.
And in the process, Aiko also felt the sense of accomplishment brought by that kind of success.
The industry she chose was indeed right. She insisted on becoming a game developer, and then insisted on developing a good game, all of which were no problem.
Now she has reaped success, but this is only the beginning.
Next, Aiko has a new idea, which is to expand the studio.
Of course, the three of them are still the main force in game development, but she has always dreamed that one day she can also develop those large-scale games developed by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
This requires money, as well as sufficient manpower.
Developing a top-level game that surpasses Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will be her ultimate goal.
On the podium, Aiko talked eloquently, while everyone in the audience kept nodding their heads.
After all, Aiko and the three have really achieved success, and they can't do it if they don't believe it.
In fact, they want to know more about the perception of the mysterious "Nintendo's mother is the master of the world", an independent game developer, during the development of the game.
Because most of the game developers present know that the main idea of Dead Cells must have been provided by this wizard.
The ability of Aiko and the three girls to develop games should not be underestimated. They should be stronger than independent game developers like them, but they are definitely not as good as that wizard.
It's a pity that this mysterious wizard never appears in public. He only occasionally interacts with some players and independent game developers on the Internet platform. Some of the ideas about independent game development that this wizard occasionally revealed are now widely accepted Few independent game developers regard it as the bible.
Seeing the admiration expressions of so many people in the audience, Aiko was also in a very good mood.
The speech lasted about half an hour. After almost finishing his understanding of game development, everyone in the audience began to applaud.
"Okay, thank you three beautiful ladies for sharing their understanding of game development. Now is the time for questions. I wonder if any independent game developers have any questions about what the three ladies said?" "
I Me, me!"
"I want to ask!"
All of a sudden, many people began to raise their hands enthusiastically, and they all wanted to ask some questions about game development.
Aiko kept smiling all the time, and then accepted everyone's questions.
Regarding the question, Aiko was also prepared, and there was no problem answering these independent game developers.
At this time, Hemei has already started to wander, because she no longer knows what to say.
Now she is thinking that it is almost time to go down, and now she is so nervous that she is about to suffocate.
Excited and nervous, this feeling is really indescribable.
However, at this moment, a person in the audience raised his hand, and Aiko politely asked the person with the giant hand to ask a question.
"Beautiful ladies, are you aware that you are creating something that has no value to society?"
Aiko: ?
