324. Why can’t I go?

"Boss, look."

Li Lanyun opened the background of the AIR game platform, entered his management account, and entered the special permissions interface.

Here you can view games that have been submitted for review but have not yet passed the review.

Generally speaking, if you want to list your own independent games on the AIR game platform, there are only a few requirements:

1. Sign digital documents and provide development information. If it is developed independently by an individual, fill in your personal information, such as your name and which country you are from...

The information that different countries need to fill in is different, but in the end, it is all about letting the AIR game platform determine that you are a [legitimate citizen] and enjoy the right to develop and release games.

2. The uploaded producer uses one of the following payment methods supported by AIR to pay the application deposit. The payment methods in each country are different, but in the end the money is transferred to Bomi's foreign exchange account.

The application deposit is US$500. If the game you publish passes the review, Bomi Company will return the money to you, mainly to eliminate some [Wolf is here] behavior, so as not to waste Bomi staff’s time for some meaningless reviews.

Otherwise, some people maliciously upload some junk games, which is actually a waste of resources.

After all, games are big and small, and it is possible that games of more than ten megabytes can be very good. If you simply rely on the size of the package, you can eliminate the review of small package games in one size fits all, then there may not be so many games on the AIR game platform, and it may also lose many independent production groups of very games.

The reason why the AIR game platform is powerful is that it uses its strong review capabilities to ensure that no matter who it is or what your game is, as long as you do it with your heart, it will be listed on the AIR game platform, so there will be a creative team that continues to enter the AIR game platform.

This is a very good ecological environment, providing a convenient gaming platform for outstanding producers around the world, and also incubating many excellent works.

3. Fill in bank and tax information, as well as identity verification, so that the AIR game platform can find out who is doing business with them.

This is to facilitate the money to be successfully transferred to the producer's account.

It is equivalent to an agreement signed between Singularity Chinese and the author. How many readers will pay for your work? The website needs to pay for it according to your earnings and will be paid to you on time every month.

4. Create a store page, upload a generated version, configure relevant platform functions, and enter product pricing.

5. Before the store page or game version is launched, the AIR game platform needs to undergo a brief review process, run the game and view the store page to make sure the configuration is correct and run as expected, without any malicious content.

6....

...

In general, the entire process takes about 1 to 2 months. After the user uploads the game and store pages, it needs to enter a review cycle.

During this review cycle, Bomi's reviewers can enter to check whether there is any malicious content in the game content. Cao Yang is still very afraid of this, for fear of any adverse content on the AIR game platform.

This time, Li Lanyun showed him a [Anti-Japanese War Game], named [Hero 1937].

The game company is called Infinite Fantasy Studio. Heroes 1937 is an FPS game they developed, which is the first-person shooting game.

Cao Yang looked at it for a while and his eyes lit up.

Because the quality of this game is really good, it is even better in terms of realism and gameplay than the Battlefield series produced by Swedish Digital Illusions CE last year and released by EA.

After all, it was made using the X2 engine, and it is very powerful in terms of physical effects, textures and model textures.

If you don't read it carefully, you will feel that this is a very realistic anti-Japanese war movie.

The battlefield filled with smoke, the ruins, the surrounding corpses, the soil and blood on the clothes worn by the enemy... These small details are quite well done.

Whether at home or abroad, it can be regarded as a first-class performance level.

The sense of blow and gunfight are almost real, which is different from the anti-Japanese war dramas played on TV. As long as you are hit by a fatal part, you will be shot to death.

Human life is so fragile, the war of resistance is so arduous, and the war is bloody, all of this makes you feel extremely cruel and real.

The player plays a hero of the War of Resistance. During the game, it is divided into many levels. In each level, the player has to perform very dangerous assassination tasks, annihilation of certain special enemies, domestic spies, and advanced traitors who have powerful secrets.

The plot and mission design are also quite clever and interesting.

No matter from any aspect, this game is worthy of your applause.

...

However, Cao Yang also understood why Li Lanyun felt embarrassed-

Because this subject is really too sensitive.

The AIR game platform has been quite large, equivalent to a world-class platform. This game is listed on the AIR game platform, which itself is a huge test for Bomi.

If it is not handled well, it is easy to be bombarded by public opinion on the Internet.

But it's easier to handle.

"Have they got the version number for this game?" Cao Yang asked.

"Well, I have already obtained the version number," said Li Lanyun. "I have also checked it out, and it has passed the domestic review."

Games launched in China must be reported to the above for review, and they can only be released after obtaining the version number.

Therefore, the AIR game platform has also made requirements for this. If you want to be listed in the Chinese region, you need to issue your own game review version number when uploading the game to facilitate Bomi to check and review.

Generally speaking, the above checks will be more stringent than the AIR game platform. Some things seem to be available on the platform, but they may not necessarily pass the above.

Therefore, when the platform reviews, it will basically be slightly relaxed during the review.

This time it's really special.

The above passed the review and believed that this game was not very problematic, but for the platform, it may be affected by public opinion.

Of course, this public opinion influence will not come from China. It is mainly because of the fear that players from the island countries will be dissatisfied with this, and will boycott the AIR game platform in the future, which will lead to damage to Bomi's business in the East Island area.

"Since all the above have passed the review, what else can we say?" Cao Yang asked back.

"This... is mainly..." Li Lanyun smiled bitterly, Boss, don't you want the island country's business anymore?

"Just partition processing," Cao Yang said, "It can be sold in areas other than island countries, and the island countries will not list this game."

"But... now global integration, all information is spread through the Internet. Even if it is not listed on the island country, it may be exaggerated by the media, which will lead to dissatisfaction with us by the players on the East Island?" Li Lanyun said.

Although the game was not made by Bomi himself, the final test was Bomi's attitude.

Bomi's signature and influence are much larger than the R&D team called Infinite Fantasy Studio. In the end, the islanders will not think that this is a problem with the game, but a problem with the platform.

"It's okay." Cao Yang thought for a while and said, "This is indeed a test of Bomi's attitude, but it is not this attitude, but our attitude towards history and to the Chinese people.

Haven't you ever thought about the opposite situation?

Bomi Company refused to be launched on the platform because it refused to be launched on the Anti-Japanese War game. What do Chinese people think of us?"

"Well..." Li Lanyun was silent.

He doesn't know how to answer.

"This is the cultural output carried by the game." Cao Yang smiled and said lightly, "Shooting games are cruel, because guns are invented for war. Foreigners use shooting games as entertainment, which is not only to release pressure, but also contains their cultural output.

Look, warfield, call of duty... these games have made the United States a great savior, but is their war really just?

Not necessarily?"

When Americans make games, they always like to beautify themselves, especially in the act of war. You must make these shooting games just to eliminate the players' guilt, otherwise the players will have no way to continue playing shooting games [just reasonably].

The guns and ammunition used in the shooting game are really real.

Justice is the cultural part that the game wants to export, and it is also in line with the interests of the free country. It is really a pity not to do domestic games. It is equivalent to letting others enter culture in vain. You also have to wave the flag and shout at their [Justice Act].

In fact, due to certain plots, Battlefield 4 has also been banned from sales in the country.

Cao Yang curled his lips, "At least in this Hero 1937, the war we fought is absolutely just, and this is a resistance to the atrocities of the invaders.

If we don’t fight, we will be occupied by others. I think it is very necessary to put this game on the shelves.

If the island country does not issue it, even if it is issued, it will definitely be asked to remove it by relevant units.

But other countries have found that the world can face the most history, letting them know what is the real battle of justice and what is the real hero.

This is very necessary.

I think it can be sent."

In fact, the above can issue a version number to this game, which means that they recognize this game. Since this is the case, Bomi has nothing to hesitate about.

In terms of quality, this game can have the potential to fight the Battlefield series.

In terms of spiritual and cultural connotation, it expresses the spirit of the War of Resistance of Chinese soldiers who are ready to die and the military and civilians are united.

Germans are still playing the Call of Duty series.

So there is no reason not to send it.

...

There were really too few topics in this area in my previous life.

Most games with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War were concentrated before 2003, such as "Special Forces 1937", which is still produced in Infinite Fantasy, and the bloody battle trilogy produced by the predecessor of the Perfect World Zulong Studio, Happy Yipai Co., Ltd.:

"Bloody Battle in Shanghai", "Bloody Battle in Cotton Pad", "Bloody Battle in XX Island"

These games were actually quite excellent works in that era, but because they were not very profitable, they were later abandoned.

Later, in order to pursue interests, especially under the leadership of some public intellectuals, developers rarely involved similar topics, so the Anti-Japanese War game disappeared from then on.

It was not until 2019 that New One Studio developed a main theme game called "Invisible Guardian".

As Cao Yang said, the game industry is cultural output and an ideological war highland. If you don’t occupy it, you will be occupied by others. If no one makes the main melody game, it would be a pity.

So he had to play "Hero 1937" to let the world see that Chinese people can make good games, especially this main theme game with a sense of family and country, and at the same time, let the world understand the history that happened during this period, so that they must not be taken by others.
To be continued...
