Almost at the same time, China's game industry has survived the cold winter that lasted for one year due to the suspension of the version number, and ushered in the germination and revival of all things. This is true for game manufacturers and workers in game-related industries, especially for gamers. But it must also be admitted that 20 18 is really a bit too difficult for independent game manufacturers and small factories who really want to play games. Fortunately, however, even if there is no platform for big manufacturers to shelter from the wind and snow, many game manufacturers have withstood the pressure from many sides and persisted. Under extremely limited conditions, he created works full of challenging fun and artistic value, built a unique world full of passion, and finally ended his long dormancy with the sound of spring thunder.
The Ark of Tomorrow that we are going to talk about today is such a game.
Tomorrow's Ark is a strategy tower defense and collection game independently developed and operated by Shanghai Eagle Horn Network Technology Co., Ltd., which tells the story of agents in the post-apocalyptic world being led by players to discover the truth of the disaster in the interweaving of bullets and swords.
Although this game began to be promoted as early as mid-August, 20 17, a considerable number of players knew about the existence of Ark of Tomorrow only after a month, just because the game concept PV of Ark of Tomorrow was officially released that month.
This short three-minute PV attracted countless clicks on the day of its release, not only because of the superb painter and technical strength out of the chart displayed by the production team of Tomorrow's Ark in the video; What's more, no one thought that the concept of a two-dimensional mobile game promoted PV, without the help of a "big CV" and a charming and lovely "Meng Niang" station, with only a handful of yellow sand, ruins and the husky male voice of Starset lead singer Dustin Bates, the name "Ark of Tomorrow" with a metallic breath would be unforgettable in the hearts of the audience. Countless players are attached to Tomorrow's Ark, which is still in the womb, because of this PV, and gather in the post bar and QQ group, waiting for the game to go online in the "dream test" day after day.
I didn't expect this wait to be 365 days.
20 17 the newly established eagle horn company is naturally far less familiar with the rules of the game than those manufacturers who have been in the industry for a long time. Therefore, when the game version number was stopped in March, 20 18, Tomorrow Ark unfortunately became one of nearly 8,000 games that should have been released in 20 18 but were stuck on the approval conveyor belt.
But even the fact that the version number was stopped was finally "heard" by many people in the game industry center after several months.
In the process from ignorance to the suspension of the "heard" version number, the difficulties experienced by independent developers are only known to them.
In an online report entitled "The day when the version number stopped sending", there is such a description:
Fortunately, Eagle Horn is not one of the "600" game companies.
After surviving the most difficult days, Eagle Horn seems to have finally overcome the difficulties. All kinds of clues indicate that Eagle Horn is suspected to have successfully obtained the version number of Tomorrow's Ark. On June 65438+1October 65438+June 6, the official Weibo released the profile of the characters, but the detailed skill profile of the characters was uncharacteristically not listed, and instead, the "messenger" simply greeted the "player".
And this Weibo's essay is:
Many players with a keen sense of smell immediately noticed some different information after seeing this unusual character introduction, and wondered whether the public beta time of Tomorrow's Ark was finally settled.
Not long ago, the official Weibo officially released the news that the third test was about to begin, ending many speculations about the version number of tomorrow's Ark.
According to the new regulations on mobile games issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television on July 1 2065438, mobile games without version numbers will not be allowed to operate. According to the description published in Weibo's official account, the third test of Tomorrow's Ark will be "unlimited file deletion billing test", which is completely consistent with the content of the third batch of approved game versions published the day before yesterday.
From this point of view, Eagle Horn has successfully obtained a passport for its elaborate debut, so I believe it will be in the near future before the game is officially launched.
Now that spring fragrance has arrived, the ark that players have been waiting for for for a long time should set sail as scheduled.
