Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 340 What's So Fun About "My Homeland"?

The test period of "My Homeland" is seven days.

During the test period, Tian Moyun did not prohibit the internal test players from leaking the content of the game, so almost everyone in [Starry Sky Post Bar] was discussing this game.

The evaluations of the internal test players are: the gameplay is very interesting, and it should be fun to play with friends.

But the passers-by were a little confused. They couldn't figure out what the point of such a game with no combat throughout the game?
In their inherent impression in the past, the most important color of a game should be "competitive". No matter what kind of game it is, it must have a competitive nature, otherwise, it will be very boring.

Tian Moyun's previous games, except for "Happy Cube", almost all have a combat system.

certainly--

Weird games such as "Flying Bird" and "Digging for Ascension" cannot be counted.

But even if these two games are weird, they still have the nature of "passing levels". The former has a leaderboard, and the latter has deceptive weird physics.

But what about "My Homeland"?

According to the news released by the current internal test players, this game has neither a combat system nor difficulty in breaking through levels, and there is almost no room for players to operate except for clicking with the mouse.

What's the point of such a game?

It’s nothing more than planting, harvesting, and stealing vegetables. Apart from the exquisite picture quality and cute and warm sound effects, there seems to be no other highlights.

【My Home】In.

Many players questioned this, but few people questioned Tian Moyun's game level. They all thought that this game should not be as simple as it seems.

Tian Moyun has a lot of record-breaking game design history, which is enough to prove that every detail of his thinking has a deep meaning, so a very interesting logic of thinking has formed in the game circle.

Do you think Tian Moyun's game is not fun?

No no no, that's not the game's problem, it's your problem.

We all think the game is fun, but you don't think it's fun. Shouldn't you be the one who should reflect?

……

Also under this kind of thinking logic, although everyone can't figure out what is interesting about "My Homeland", they still wait silently for the day when the closed beta is over and it is officially launched.

The seven-day internal test time passed quickly.

Then, five days of tinkering.

"My Homeland" itself has a high degree of completion. Tian Moyun's game design experience comes from the relatively mature Internet ecology of Earth in his previous life. Therefore, he can directly avoid some obvious flaws in the design of history and integrate it The design is more perfect and simple, suitable for all ages.

It is also in such a situation——

The process of fixing bugs after the internal test is actually not as complicated as outsiders imagined.

Just fix the defects that have been picked out, and then it can be officially launched.

……

Time passed quickly, and it was May 5st in a blink of an eye.

"My Homeland" is officially launched.

This "strange" game that players have been waiting for for a long time has finally met with you.

According to [Starry Sky Technology]'s usual practice, the game's launch time is 6:00 in the morning.

And when Tian Moyun arrived at the office at 8:00, he learned that the downloads had exceeded 100 million times.

It has been online for two hours and has been downloaded more than 100 million times. Even in the mature period of the Internet, this kind of achievement is quite impressive, let alone at this stage.

"Wait to see the feedback from the players."

Tian Moyun said lightly.

For the download volume of the game, he does not think there are any surprises.

With his name as a top designer in the game circle, coupled with [Starry Sky Technology]'s spare no effort in publicity, and now more than 100 million users of [Starry Sky Computer], the number of downloads is only [-] million times, it can only be said that it is still expected Inside.

Don't think it's unbelievable that 1000% of the 10 million users download.

To know--

In the early days of the Internet, there were few entertainment services for players in the ecological chain.

It is completely different from the "a hundred flowers blooming" in the mature period.

Online novels have just begun to be established, online TV content is scarce, and the best [Xingkong Music Platform] in online music can reach 24-500 million online users in 700 hours.

This shows how idle the netizens are at this time.

If it is placed in the mature stage, it is absolutely unrealistic for a music software to occupy more than 50% of the Internet market online, and it is scary to occupy 1%.

……

As for why netizens don't play games?
There may be learning here.

In the current [Starry Sky OS], most of them are old games on some 8-bit machines.

As for the 16-bit games newly developed by manufacturers, there are very few computer versions.

The main reason is that it can’t be sold, and the operation logic needs to be specially adapted. It’s not enough to earn that little money.

The operation logic must be changed. The game console is controlled by a handle, while the computer needs a keyboard and mouse. If the operation logic is not changed, the latter cannot play games at all.

……

[Starry Sky Computer] has 0.13 million online users, which is almost half the market size of game consoles.

If this is a mature game platform, then game manufacturers will definitely find ways to reach a cooperative relationship, launch their games on this new platform, and make a fortune.

But unfortunately-

Computers are different from game consoles.

Game consoles are very "specialized" devices whose sole purpose is to play games.

Therefore, how popular game consoles are sold means how big the potential market is and how big the chances of making money are.

But what about computers?

In this era, who buys a computer to play games?
Most of them are school study, corporate office, home telecommuting, or doing some individual business, such as printing, photo trimming, writing manuscripts and the like.

Play games?
Does the computer have games?Can I play Contra?

You don't even have "Contra", how dare you say you can play games?

With the same price, no game player would choose a computer instead of 【Thunder-New World】.

It is also this kind of user positioning, so——

Even if [Xingkong Computer] has more than ten million users, no manufacturer is willing to spend a lot of time and money to develop computer games. They have all tried the water, but the results are not satisfactory.

Only Tian Moyun is still tirelessly exploring the computer game market.

Many game manufacturers felt that he was doing useless work, until the online version of "Jianghu Killing" made a monthly profit of 1.35 million...

If I remember correctly...

Among the console games developed by Tian Moyun in the past, it seems that there is no single game that can surpass the online version of "Jianghu Killing".

This result fully shows that computer games have great potential, and they are not as pessimistic as these manufacturers imagined.

And now-

Tian Moyun's second computer masterpiece "My Homeland" is here!
Not only the players are looking forward to it, but even the game manufacturers are looking forward to it. They wait until the day when it is officially launched, download and install it as soon as possible, and then start to experience the charm of this game.

These "professionals" have long realized that they are not on the same level as Tian Moyun.

They failed in the field of computer games, not because they couldn't do it, but because they couldn't do it.

Otherwise, how to explain the popularity of the online version of "Jianghu Killing"?

Now, they hope to find the real research and development direction of computer games in "My Homeland", and then design new games to seize the market and become the second "crab eaters".
