The so-called game museum is actually a museum about games.
Although video games were first created to meet people's entertainment needs, they were slandered in subsequent years and considered a model of uneducated people. But by the time Alice lived, it had already accompanied
With the unprecedented development of information technology, it has gradually become a cross-era new art, which can be compared with old arts such as literature, fine arts and architecture. So, carefully building a museum for a great art will enable visitors to be more able to
It is naturally a very reasonable thing to clearly see its development trajectory and deeply understand what the narrative and interactivity of video game art are.
Although, it is not so reasonable for a commercial company with the purpose of profit to do this kind of thing.
However, according to Alice, the founder of Game Command Company is actually an avid game enthusiast. He is well aware of the history, technology and anecdotes related to games, and his scope of coverage even includes modern holographic virtual games.
3D games from centuries ago, and pixel games from even older eras that can even be called antiques.
She spent a lot of time, energy and money to collect those game consoles, cartridges and even related strategy materials, and dedicated a floor in her company to display these collections, which are open to the outside world for free. It can be said that
He is a great benefactor in the gaming industry.
"Some people also call her a rich man, saying that she is a fool who only has too much money to do this, but I have never said that." Alice skillfully clarified herself: "The founder of Game Command Company is the one I respect the most.
Man, I’ve wanted to visit here for a long time.”
So there is no need to come here at all, you are just pretending to be public for personal gain?
Ringer looked at the hall in front of him. It was spacious and bright. The walls were replaced by tall floor-to-ceiling windows, and the floor was made of marble. The footsteps on it made a spacious echo. There were no extra decorations, but fences and signs were used to separate different areas.
Each exhibition area has glass display cabinets arranged in an orderly manner. There are some small and exquisite game consoles and dimly colored cassettes on display. Although they have been carefully restored, they are still difficult to cover up.
That ancient atmosphere.
He asked casually: "Then why didn't you come to visit before?"
Do you have to wait until now?
This question made Alice stuck again, but she quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Because I'm busy playing games and too lazy to go out."
After that, without waiting for Ringer's comment, she happily rushed towards the glass display cabinets and began her journey to realize her dream. Soon, her shouts echoed everywhere in the museum: "This, this, this, this, this is not
Is this the original cartridge of the greatest game in history, the "Mario Series"? It's also a whole series, from "Super Mario Bros." on the FC to the new remake of the holographic era "Mario XX: Restart Odyssey".
There are all of them! Are you kidding me? The first version of the cassette has been sold for more than 15 million on the antiquities website. The entire series of cassettes and the accompanying game consoles are already worth over 100 million, right?"
"Here, what is this? The prototype arcade machine of Atari's first commercial video game "PONG" released in 1972!? And it looks like it still works? The last one of this thing
I remember that the prototype was damaged and scrapped two hundred years ago. The founder of the Game Command Company was actually able to get it. He is indeed a tycoon in the industry... ahem, I mean a good person!"
"Uh, what the hell, "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial", the trigger that caused Atari's collapse? Are you worthy of being put together with the prototype of "PONG"? The founder and boss of the Game Command Company really has a taste.
It’s so unique that I’m even willing to collect this kind of thing. But one is the beginning and the other is the end, so it has some meaning. Do you want to play with it later and see how big this shit is?”
"Ahem." Hearing this, Ringer couldn't help but cough twice and reminded her: "We don't have time for you to play games, Alice."
"whispering sound!"
Alice thought disdainfully, when I see the goddess, I will apply to her to play here for a year and a half. What can you do to me?
However, this idea cannot be spoken out yet. What if the insidious Ringer interferes with it and ruins her good deeds? So after Alice finished speaking, she honestly let go of her hand that was trying to open the glass display cabinet and continued.
As I walked through the exhibition areas, I would get excited when I saw something extraordinary, shouting and getting annoyed.
Influenced by her, other companions also curiously walked into the museum and visited the exhibits with a spectator mentality. They were not really interested in the so-called games. After all, they had been playing with Alice on the SLP game console for a long time.
I have also been tortured by her for a long time. If the game art in the earth world is at the level of Alice, then there is really nothing to look forward to.
But, it's so strange.
"Final Fantasy Series", "Assassin's Creed Series", "Dragon Quest Series", "God of War Series", "Call of Duty Series", and other various series are dazzling. According to the above description
The plot and gameplay seem to be more interesting than those cassettes created by Alice. What's going on?
Could it be that the true level of Alice, a genius game producer, is actually very poor? In her words, she is just a scratch at her job?
Everyone looked at each other in tacit understanding, feeling that they might have discovered the biggest secret of Cloud Whale Sky Island, but unfortunately they couldn't tell it because it would anger Alice. Of course, it's not terrible for Alice to be angry, but when she gets angry, she will start to act recklessly.
, and as soon as she acted recklessly, everyone began to be afraid.
"It seems," Linge looked at the enthusiastic figure and said to Saint Xalia beside him: "She really likes to play games."
"It's a good thing to have your own hobbies." Sheng Xia Liya replied softly. Perhaps because she had been thinking about other things, she did not hear the implication of the young man's words: "Just like Xia Liya likes bartending, although in
She is an outlier among the traveler fairies, but Siesta has always been supportive of her."
Yes, and what these two have in common is that they are both terrible at what they do.
Do you want to support Alice's hobby just like Shesta supports Shelia? Shelia's bartending hobby is an anomaly among the Traveler Fairies, and Alice's gaming hobby is also an anomaly in the Mirror Star World? It can even be said that
, is the biggest alien and the reason why she is incompatible with this world.
When will she realize that the real world is not a game...
Everyone was delayed in the game museum for about ten minutes. It wasn't until Ringer urged that Alice reluctantly put down the game consoles and cassettes and prepared to leave. However, as she walked, she couldn't help but look back and change the scene.
It was like a separation between life and death, leaving everyone speechless.
"What do you know! They are alive, you know?" Alice was very dissatisfied with Ringer's statement and rebuked him bluntly, trying to correct his attitude of disrespecting the art of games: "Games are not simple textual narratives or image depictions.
, but combine them all to let you experience a brand new life through interaction! In different games, you may play different roles, experience different stories, and meet different partners. If you combine each
If the story is treated as a life, then the emotions in the game will naturally be real! So, I reluctantly say goodbye to my old friends, do you have any dissatisfaction?"
A lot of nonsense.
No one took it to heart, but Ringer was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Don't you always regard our world as a game? If so, do you also have emotions for this world?"
"Of course!" Alice assured without thinking, patting her chest: "I am the leader of the Gran Sefa Cavalry Group. It is my mission to risk Enoch for the important members of Ma Molu.
!”
What birdsong.
Ringer's face darkened, but not because of Alice's nonsense, but because he noticed that this guy's answer was not in line with his question. He was asking Alice whether she had feelings for the world, but the golden retriever maid
I don't know whether she didn't hear it or didn't take it to heart. The scope of her answer only included the so-called Grand Sefa Cavalry Group - that is, the people on Cloud Whale Sky Island.
To her, the rest of the world is still like data in a virtual game, unworthy of mention?
The young man looked at Alice deeply, but the latter did not realize the profound meaning of this look. After leaving the game museum, he still walked at the forefront of the team, leading the way for everyone, and at the same time introduced: "Where we are going next
It's the president's office on the ninety-ninth floor. Let me tell you, this president is a very big shot. He single-handedly brought the originally unknown Game Command Company to the altar, becoming the leader in the field of electronic games, and even teamed up with other
An old manufacturer, she led the production of "Alice Games" and the development of SLP game consoles, and is recognized as the best game producer of this century. Unfortunately, she is too low-key, and few people have seen her true face."
When Rorona heard this, she asked curiously: "So, aren't the founder and current president of Game Command Company the same person?"
Perhaps there are similarities between game development and alchemy magic to some extent, so Her Royal Highness Princess Haiqi is very interested in this so-called game command company. When she visited the museum just now, except for Alice, the most interested person
It's her.
"No." Alice shook her head and said: "They are two people. Although the founder is very rich and built such a luxurious museum, he does not seem to have produced any famous games. Therefore, at that time, Game Command Company was still
It is not very famous. Even in the game industry, not many people have heard of its name. It was not until later that the founder resigned in the name of going home to visit relatives and handed over the position to the current president.
Things have gotten better. However, because her resignation and the appointment of the new president were so sudden, many people suspected there was some conspiracy and speculated on many business dramas on the Internet."
"Oh." Lorena nodded thoughtfully. It was similar to the change of dynasty regime. As the Princess of the Blue Sky Sea, she had seen this kind of thing. Naturally, she knew that those people's suspicions were not groundless. However,
She was actually not very interested in these political dramas, and then asked: "Is the president the top person in charge of this company?"
"I don't know much about this. But I heard that Game Command Company is not listed, and all R&D funds and employee salaries are privately funded by the founder and current president, so they should have a lot of power." Alice.
She scratched her hair and asked her, a gamer, to explain this concept. It was really difficult.
But whoever gives the money is the boss, this is definitely true!
Thinking of such a difficult problem being solved with her own ingenuity, Alice suddenly felt a sense of simple pride and pride. She held her head high and her steps became more powerful.
The wind was blowing. This villain's triumphant look made Rorona couldn't help but have an embarrassed smile on her face, and she quietly took two steps back.
While the two were talking, the sightseeing elevator had stopped at the ninety-ninth floor. After all, it was only one floor away. Although Ringer wanted to complain about the fact that the sightseeing elevator could go directly to the president's office, could it be that the president was also visited by tourists?
A link? But now was not the right occasion, so I didn't say anything and silently followed Alice into the unlocked CEO's office.
Basically, it is an ordinary office. The decoration and furniture styles are simple and consistent. There are no extravagant decorations because it is the president's office. The only special thing is that there are traces of games everywhere: the walls
There are posters of game characters, doll models with different postures in the display cabinet, which seem to be called figures in earthling terms, and a game console that is turned off on the desk - the appearance is similar to the one held by Alice.
The game consoles are exactly the same and appear to be the same model.
Next to the game console, the name of the president was written on the nameplate. Ringer just glanced at it and frowned deeply: Themis of Heaven.
What a strange name. Do all people on earth have this style of name? Is Alice the one who is different? Moreover, this name sounds very familiar, as if he has heard it somewhere before, but he is sure that he has heard it.
I said this name.
At this time, he heard St. Charya whispering to herself in a low voice: "Heaven... Themis..."
It's not very special, it just repeated the other person's name. It seems that the shepherd girl also has a similar sense of familiarity. Thinking back to the previous time, Alice asked her if there was anyone else living in the Heavenly Temple besides the girl's throne.
When he asked, there was a flash of hesitation and thinking on the girl's face, and Ringer immediately got the answer.
He raised his head, his deep gaze seemed to see through the ceiling, and he saw the highest floor of the building.
