Different positioning, different configurations too.
The configuration threshold for Call of Duty series is quite a bit higher than for CrossFire, right? Imagine if CrossFire also raised its hardware threshold, would it still have the dream of three hundred million mice?
To put it bluntly!
"Donât Leave After School" focuses on childhood nostalgia, and its target player group is different from games like "Star Emperor" and "Speeding Frenzy".
Trying to compare the recommended specs of this new game with other games, how many players would meet the requirements?
"I understand!"
Lu nodded, indicating that he would carry out a round of optimization for "Donât Leave After School" to lower the gameplay threshold as much as possible.
After discussing the recommended configurations, Chen Ba seemed to remember the 96 overall score given by the system page. He nodded and said, "Prepare the demo version, letâs release it in a couple of days."
"So soon?"
Before Lu could speak, Zhong Shengwei, standing beside him, was surprised and said, "Arenât we going to test it a few more times?"
"No need to test anymore!"
Chen Ba shook his head.
Whatâs the point of more tests? The Iron Fool System has already given a super high score of 96, which fully shows that "Donât Leave After School" has reached a certain quality level.
Whether there are problems or not, I donât know.
But this 96 score is still quite valuable. Testing further wouldnât lead to anything meaningful. It would be better to release it and let the players taste it.
A game with a 96 score, even if itâs just a presentation, is still more appealing than others, right?
...
Peng City, Crystal Garden.
When Jiang Yongqing woke up, his girlfriend had already left, and a sticky note was pressed under the mobile phone on the bedside table.
"Iâve made breakfast for you, heat it up when you get up. Iâm off to work ^o^"
"So early..."
Putting away the sticky note, Jiang Yongqing smiled slightly, extremely satisfied with a girlfriend who is so considerate even though theyâve known each other for less than six months.
His girlfriend is from Xianyang.
Though both are striving in this city of Peng City, itâs such a big city that they didnât know each other half a year ago, nor had they even met.
"Thanks to Ba!"
While washing up, Jiang Yongqing did not forget to pay daily homage to his benefactor, Ba.
Had it not been for Baâs development of the "Love Advisor Department" game, he wouldnât have met such a gentle girl like Jingjing and wouldnât have felt the warmth of home.
To put it bluntly...
The happy life Jiang Yongqing has now is entirely due to Baâs help. Just for that, hanging a photo of Ba on the living room wall and worshipping it day and night isnât too much, right?
Unfortunately, Ba is still alive.
The color photo looks a bit strange somehow; if Ba someday passes away, switching to a black-and-white photo would feel just right.
This photo was a rare edition "Baâs Portrait" he bought from Tianbaâs official merchandise store for 199 yuan.
The official store sells this?
It does sell it indeed!
Jiang Yongqing isnât very aware of what other game companiesâ merchandise is like, but Tianbaâs official store does indeed sell Baâs portraits.
They focus on being unique, daring to earn money any way they can!
Thinking about how Ba is still single and has to wash his clothes and socks himself, while he, under Baâs care, lives such a happy life, Jiang Yongqing feels a bit guilty.
Spending some money on Ba isnât a big deal, just a picture after all.
Jiang Yongqing had long decided that as long as Tianba Studio releases a game, heâll buy it. He must express his gratitude to Ba and Tianba Studio with real actions.
"Unfortunately, I really donât enjoy playing âSpeeding Frenzyâ..."
Talking about it, Jiang Yongqing also feels a bit helpless.
He did buy "Speeding Frenzy," and he bought the most expensive platinum version. But after playing it for half an hour, the game is just gathering dust in the library.
He canât handle racing games.
He doesnât know why heâs fine with other games but feels a strong sense of dizziness and nausea when playing racing games.
Jingjing says itâs 3D motion sickness.
But Jiang Yongqing doesnât think so; heâs fine with other 3D games and doesnât have such discomfortâonly racing games make him nauseous.
Could it be mild symptoms?
Jiang Yongqing doesnât get it; anyway, his condition really doesnât suit playing racing games, and he can only look forward to Baâs new game.
"Beep beep beep!"
After washing up and eating breakfast, his phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Yongqing picked up his phone, unlocked it, and saw that a few buddies from the "Love Advisor Department" group chat were discussing a new game.
"Baâs new game?"
Learning that this was Tianba Studioâs new game after "Speeding Frenzy," Jiang Yongqing immediately became interested and asked in the group, "Whatâs the game called? When can it be played?"
"The game is called âDonât Go Home: Marbles Storm.â Early access is already available on the Steam Platform and Nobug Platform..."
"How come itâs 68 yuan again?"
"Not bad, the introduction looks pretty good, and it seems you can play online. Anyone wants to play together?"
"Add me, add me, letâs play together!"
The veteran players of the "Love Advisor Department" group were discussing enthusiastically, and Jiang Yongqing got the answer he wanted.
Why bother with breakfast?
The breakfast Jingjing made with love is delicious, but compared to Baâs presentation, it falls a bit short.
Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Jiang Yongqing eagerly moved to his computer, logged into his Steam platform account, and searched for the game "Donât Go Home: Marbles Storm."
Entered the game detail page.
The first thing to catch his eyes were the game promotional images showing the general situation of the game.
"Whoa..."
The marble duel scenes in the promotional images, especially the cool Marble Soul, left Jiang Yongqing stunned.
He knew marbles, played them as a child.
But what is this Marble Soul? How can you summon Pocket Monster Spirits while playing marbles?
Itâs so abstract!
After going through the game promotions, especially those cool marble duels, Jiang Yongqing almost couldnât contain his inner excitement.
But he wasnât in a rush; he looked at the gameâs detail description again.
[âDonât Go Home: Marbles Stormâ is a multiplayer online competitive game centered on childhood marble games, incorporating various innovative gameplay to fully enjoy the fun of marbles...]
Indeed, it was childhood marbles!
After reading the game introduction and combining it with the game promo images, Jiang Yongqing already had an idea.
Buy it! Must buy it!
Not only because supporting Ba is his initial intention, but even if this game wasnât made by Ba, just for the childhood memories, buying a marble game isnât a loss.
[The game is currently in early access...]
After glancing at the game pricing and confirming he wasnât deceived by his group friendsâit was indeed 68 yuanâJiang Yongqing decisively chose to scan and pay to get this marble game.
The installation and download take some time!
Jiang Yongqing is off work today, so heâs not in a hurry; he let the game download slowly while he turned around to continue eating in the living room.
About twenty minutes later.
Finishing his meal and washing the dishes, Jiang Yongqing returned to his computer and opened the newly downloaded and installed game.
Tianba Gameâs Logo!
Starting with "Star Emperor," nearly every Tianba game features a studio-exclusive logo on the launch page.
After the logo is displayed, then comes the game loading and Nobug account login page.
"Another character customization, huh?"
Jiang Yongqing didnât get why Ba is so fond of customizing characters. Canât he just provide a preset template for one-click game entry?
Skip, skip, skip!
Privacy permissions, game notifications... just skip them all. He finds these things the most annoying; playing a new game always takes ages.
Especially the privacy permission; almost every game asks players to confirm it.
Whatâs the point of this?
Itâs clearly a single-choice question; if you donât select "I accept," you canât enter the game, yet these game developers pretend to be generous and give you an option "I donât accept."
Purely unnecessary!
Unless, one day, choosing "I donât accept" can still let you enter the game. Otherwise, Jiang Yongqing will never accept this design.
