Just the idea alone sparked discussion among colleagues, and even Xu Qingling joined in, sharing her views on the employees.
“Let’s add some favorability points, allowing players to pursue in-game characters of the opposite sex and recruit them as crew members,” she said.
After jotting down the various suggestions, Fang Cheng felt good about the progress.
This time, the theme of proving one’s way was set as trade. Players need to acquire money through trade in the game, then build their own fleet, and team up with other players to dominate the business circles of a certain region.
The space crafts in “Squirrel Spaceship” must be limited to Songta Planet to avoid impacting other games, but players who have played “Squirrel Spaceship” and own a designated cargo ship will receive an extra cargo ship in the new game “Space Navigator” as an initial reward.
Given the vast expanse of the star region, players would generally play solo unless they intentionally sought contact, thus satisfying both single-player and multiplayer gamers.
However, players could still influence the entire star region. Watching the star region related to them develop better, with increasing goods, was indeed a gratifying and beautiful thing.
Having decided the general tone, what remained was to bring the logic to life.
Before officially starting the work, Huang Ping looked at Fang Cheng. He wanted to ask what the Easter egg was this time, and what the Easter egg would change the game’s style into, but he held back.
This mystery would be slowly uncovered.
The game required more content design this time, so it also took more time to complete.
While Fang Cheng Studio was busy developing the game, the Main God of the star region was in a dilemma.
The Gods had not gone through the mortal phase and didn’t know what mortals would like.
The problem posed by Fang Cheng was too difficult for them, and the Main God feared they could not answer it and would ultimately face a catastrophe.
In the end, a tough decision was made.
Within the Heavenly Tao network, the Main God contacted all the deities.
Contacting all the Gods at once was a rare occurrence, which meant that the Main God had encountered a major issue that even he couldn’t resolve—an issue intimately related to them.
Even Lady Tragedy, beaten to a rag, attended with the support of her best friend, becoming a frightened bird hiding in the back.
Seeing all the Gods assembled, the Main God said to them, “I have some unfortunate news, we need you to reincarnate as animals and plants.”
“Why?” one of the Gods asked, puzzled, “Is it because of the Great Heavenly Lord?”
“Yes. You all filled out the survey recently, right? To be frank, the Great Heavenly Lord is not satisfied.”
At eight o’clock in the evening, “Space Navigator” officially launched.
That day, when Chen Rang tiredly returned home, planning to rest well in Passport World.
He had been working overtime a lot recently, with new news coming out every day. Coming home at eight o’clock tonight felt like celebrating a festival.
Ever since the overseas game ban was lifted, almost every day there was news of new games officially entering the market. Some major games had already targeted the domestic market as a big cake, preparing to offer a special domestic version using strategies like small profit margins, in-app purchases, and monthly subscriptions to make a good profit.
Before long, a massive number of games would complete localization and then flood the market, engaging in fierce battles with domestic games until a new equilibrium was established.
According to some gamers’ analysis, in the next period, the best strategy for domestic game manufacturers is to play defensively, pausing the release of some games, stopping the application for game licenses, and focusing on existing profitable projects to consolidate their moats.
However, there are also aggressive gamers who believe we should strike boldly and claim that we also have very excellent game studios.
You think so, right, Fang Cheng Studio?
Regarding such comments, Chen Rang invariably deemed them a kiss of death.
Fang Cheng Studio was indeed quite good, but it was best not to act rashly at this time to avoid being targeted.
Fortunately, Fang Cheng Studio recently had indeed been inactive, which relieved Chen Rang quite a bit.
After logging into Passport World, Chen Rang was about to have his Mukuai pat his head to relieve some fatigue when he saw his Mukuai excitedly running over with a CD in hand.
“Fang Cheng Studio released a new game, come play with me.”
“Has Fang Cheng lost his mind!” Chen Rang blurted out.
Mukuai was startled by Chen Rang’s shout and couldn’t help but ask, “Why, weren’t you preoccupied with this a few days ago, lamenting every day about when a new game would be released?”
“That was the past, it’s incomparable to the present. The current gaming environment is dramatic; releasing a game now might not even recover the cost. Moreover, they didn’t do any marketing before, how come there was no buzz at all?”
“Well, they wanted to do a test...”
“A test at this time? They definitely haven’t researched the market.”
“Then, are you still going to play?”
“...I’ll play.”
After readily paying 128 yuan, Chen Rang’s spirits lifted, and then he immersed himself in the game.
When he came out later, he yawned and said, “Not bad, I take back my words, alright, off to work I go.”
“Have a good day.” Mukuai said goodbye to Chen Rang happily, expressing that she had a great time playing last night.
