Do you habitually smell the scent of toilet paper before wiping your butt?
The most terrifying thing about "Divine Grace Continent" is that there are too many NPCs, enough to mass-produce toilet paper.
Moreover, each NPC is an independent character from the Otherworld; once you lock on their perspective, their journey can be a new season of Otherworldly animation.
What should we do about this?
The Otherworld genre was already crowded, and now thereâs a cross-industry disruptor who directly set new benchmark standards for Otherworld toilet paper animations.
After this, new Otherworld releases that donât meet the quality might find it hard to shamelessly air.
The audience wonât accept it either.
After all, if youâre not good enough, why would I watch your toilet paper when Divine Graceâs videos are available? Even though itâs a game, the output is massive, ensuring satisfaction without the worry of running out of paper.
"Divine Grace Continent, the new standard in Otherworld toilet paper!"
At the end of the report, the media furiously expressed that animation companies producing toilet paper should put in more effort.
Youâre producing toilet paper with minimal quantity and, key issue, it doesnât even clean well. Is that usable?
Look at Tianba Studioâs "Divine Grace Continent," producing toilet paper on a production line, strictly controlling quality, and the output is high!
If more effort isnât made, high-end toilet paper might still find users, but lower-end Otherworld toilet paper animations will be completely outshone by "Divine Grace Continent."
"Itâs already outshone!"
Yang Dong couldnât help but laugh: "There are new Otherworld animations out, and the comments section is flooded with remarks like ânot as good as Divine Grace Continentâ."
If itâs not even as good as Divine Grace Continent, whatâs the use of your toilet paper?
Ba, the beacon of the toilet paper industry!
A top 100 creator in the Thunderbolt animation section, in the latest episode of "New Releases Guide," furiously criticized a trashy original Otherworld release.
"Honestly, I donât know what the writers were thinking. The Otherworld theme is already so competitive, who even dares to embarrass themselves with this level?"
"My suggestion is, why not get a copy of âDivine Grace Continentâ to play, and see how Ba makes toilet paper!"
"Some might ask who Ba is, and what new Otherworld work is Divine Grace Continent..."
"The answer is neither. Divine Grace Continent is an RPG adventure game developed by Tianba Studio, and Ba is the producer of this game."
"This game is also known as the international standard for toilet paper. Any animation not meeting this standard doesnât even deserve a glance..."
As the saying goes, top-tier companies set standards, mid-tier companies build brands, low-tier ones make products, and the worst ones sell their buildings!
Although Tianba Studio lacks the capability to set standards in the gaming industry, in the toilet paper sector, "Divine Grace Continent" has become the new standard.
The audience is fine, theyâre open to it.
Spending 68 bucks to enjoy a âbinge of toilet paperâ truly is a great deal.
However, animation companies look constipated, especially those producing Otherworld toilet paper animations, wishing to mince the so-called "Ba" into paste.
Why would a game developer like you come mess with the animation industry, do you even have a say here?
Security, whereâs security?
Quickly escort this GameBugs out, donât let him promote mass-produced toilet paper worth 68 bucks here!
"Huh? A new industry standard?"
Chen Ba, who unintentionally set an industry standard, was a bit taken aback hearing this.
Is setting an industry standard this simple?
Isnât it said that only top-tier companies can set industry standards? So by this logic, does that make Tianba Studio a top-tier company?
"Actually, itâs pretty understandable."
Seizing a moment while Ba and Dong were chatting, Lu, who had just finished a pork knuckle, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said: "Donât underestimate the phrase âmassive, ensures satisfaction.â"
"Think about it, if one day an internet company developed an AI game creation software. Enter some keywords and new games are generated. What impact would that have on the gaming industry?"
"That makes sense."
Yang Dong nodded: "If such software existed, it would undoubtedly be disastrous for many complacent game developers."
For top-tier game creators, such an occurrence would have some influence, but AI canât reach that level.
But for the mid to lower-tier, those resting on their laurels, it would be catastrophic.
If the games they develop arenât as entertaining as AI-generated ones, they wonât attract players, especially with AIâs terrifying âmassive output.â
"This example isnât quite accurate, we should use todayâs AI drawing as an example."
Chen Ba explained: "âDivine Grace Continentâ is akin to a large model in AI painting. While it has various flaws, its massive output and industrial production are its biggest advantages."
The highly skilled artists can still earn because AI hasnât replaced them yet.
However, those who arenât skilled and are lazy to learn and improve are destined for unemployment when faced with AI competition.
"Divine Grace Continent" has just these conditions.
Looking from the Otherworld toilet paper animation standard perspective, the animation produced based on this game isnât particularly outstanding or impressive since itâs still a game!
So, those already exceptional Otherworld animations wonât be affected, they will continue to thrive...
But those shoddily made Otherworld toilet paper animations will feel helpless against the "Divine Grace Continent," not knowing what to do.
The industrially mass-produced toilet paper is more user-friendly, has more output, and is even cheaper in some respects, so how do you compete?
The audience isnât blind.
Previously, they tolerated various poorly made Otherworld toilet paper because there was no choice, with only a few new animations.
Now, is it the same?
Spending 68 bucks allows a binge on "Divine Grace Continent," and poorly made Otherworld toilet paper animations have lost their reason for survival.
"But I didnât intend to produce toilet paper, let alone set a toilet paper industry standard..."
Picking up a piece of braised meat only to find it was a potato, Chen Baâs expression was somewhat bitter: "I just wanted to make a good RPG game and then go to TGA to receive an award."
"Donât think about TGA anymore."
Yang Dong consoled: "The good news is, this yearâs Best Online Animation award is likely going to âJenâs Adventure,â so you might get to bask in glory and receive an award then."
Chen Ba: "..."
As a game developer, is it appropriate to receive an award at an animation award ceremony?
I want to win the TGA grand prize!
"No worries! If we canât get TGA, we have other awards. Itâs said Daren Shuo is going to give us the Best Distributor Award..."
Luâs consolation not only didnât work but made Chen Ba even more depressed after hearing it.
Best Online Animation Award, Best Distributor Award from a graphics card company... these awards donât sound like formal awards!
Canât Tianba Studio, as a game studio, win some game-related awards?
Otherwise, if people come to visit Tianba Studio and see the honor display wall, wouldnât they immediately start questioning their life, thinking theyâre in the wrong place?
"Game-related..."
Yang Dong pondered: "Itâs not like there arenât any, the Dream Building Engine official invited us to the annual developer conference! âStar Emperorâ is a strong candidate for this yearâs best development case."
The officials of Dream Building Engine highly value the game "Star Emperor," every time they promote the Dream Five Engine, they showcase "Star Emperor."
Of course, thatâs not the worst.
The worst are Old Huang and Su Mom, every time N and A cards release new technology and card demonstrations, they use "Star Emperor."
Old Huang doesnât mind gamers much, just chats occasionally.
Su Mom, on the other hand, is different.
The A card soared in "Star Emperor," to prove that A cards donât just fight future battles but can compete with N cards even now, they have to bring up "Star Emperor," right?
