With the development of the game industry, players' choices are no longer limited to gameplay mechanics, but also the game background and world view, character design and story, and the attraction of the game is also crucial. While many game products are trying to expand their depth, how to break the circle has always been a problem. Last year's explosion of the animation "Battle of Two Cities" made more people understand the game of League of Legends, which is a good example. Entering 2022, the wasteland survival mobile game "After Tomorrow" has also taken the first step in the game to break the circle.
On May 2, a personal blogger named "Green Snake - Wasteland Channel" appeared, and on the same day, a short video of cross-border cooperation was released, which exceeded one million views in just one day. In the short film, Qing Snake joined hands with the Internet celebrity "Yi li Xiao Shazi" to appear on camera, and the strength interpreted a cross-dimensional collision. In the ruined wasteland world, "Ichigo sasako", as the only remaining human being, is always hiding from the pursuit of infected monsters. In the eyes of the green snake, these monsters are just "decaying shells" and "well-behaved pets", and she only needs to move the vines to easily subdue the monsters that humans can't avoid.
Why does the Green Snake have such great strength? It turns out that in the wasteland world of "After Tomorrow", the green snake, as the leader of the regenerator race, has its own protagonist aura skill, she has always scorned cowardly humans, preferring to help those who seek breakthroughs. It is precisely because of this distinct character personality that in the short film, the green snake faces a group of human beings who fled into the wilderness, only to save "Ichigo sasa" and her dog, and the rest of the people can only be brutally killed.
Putting aside the plot of the short film, what can attract the attention of the audience is that the green snake is a virtual character that exists in the game and lives in the space of the second dimension. Ichigo Koshako is a representative of real gamers, two cross-dimensional characters in the same frame to dialogue with each other scene, under the blessing of late technology, there is no sense of violation, instantly close the distance between the audience and the green snake, as if immersive. It is not difficult to see that this is a new attempt by "After Tomorrow" to break through the game circle.
At the same time, Xiaobian also noticed that there is such a line in the account profile of the green snake: "Wasteland hunter, Wasteland Channel manager, update the ignorant humans with the daily life of the wasteland 'little cute'". The green snake met with everyone as a "wasteland pet blogger", which is enough to see that the official follow-up operation has a clear plan. For example, it is not impossible to take players to experience the first perspective of the green snake to fight monsters, expose the latest news of regenerators, and even recruit regenerators online, open live broadcasts and interact with players.
Veteran players familiar with After Tomorrow know that Green Snake is a member of the Dawn Breaking Organization. There are six characters like her who have a strong background and are popular. Looking at the human aspect, characters such as Alexei and Rachel, who are loved by old players, also have the qualifications to debut as idols. "After Tomorrow" can completely expand the ip influence through the implementation of the "virtual artificial star plan" of the game itself. In this way, the world view of the whole game can be more clear and complete, and for a big manufacturer like NetEase, it seems that there is no difficulty!
