Build a game empire from scratch

"Beforehand! Who the hell votes for [Doubling the Smell of Shit], he will be my eternal enemy!"

"The anchor voted, I was just a report! Players voted, I frankly blacked out! And don't let me see you where I can fight! Otherwise, I will see you once and beat you once!"

"Really, really, really can't smell anymore! Look at the expressions of those anchors smelling shit! It's really unbearable!"

"I'm begging you! Can I give you one?"

"Forget it, I'm afraid of you, I won't buy it yet, wait for the voting results! If it's going to be twice as bad, I'll just give up and stop playing!"

...

The second player referendum has an extraordinary influence.

Countless players, instead of busy voting, jumped out of the page one after another to find Lingxi's announcements, game forums, Yunmeng's player community, and all places where they could leave messages, calling for everyone to vote calmly.

There are threats of violence, there are calm reasoning, there are kowtows and begging for mercy...

I really tried my best to appeal.

It’s not their fault that they panicked. In fact, in the past week, when the anchors had to get clues from animal dung while chasing their prey, their expressions were too scary.

Some shallow players are even forced to transform into leisure travel players, riding around on mini four-wheeled mountain bikes every day.

Even hardcore hunters, many of them have changed their style, preferring to chase and lose their prey, rather than smelling feces.

There are also some people who focus on hunting birds, or focus on killing them with one shot. If they can't kill their prey immediately, they simply give up and don't chase.

However, there is a problem here:

Pure players can do whatever they want, and don't hear it if they don't hear it, but many anchors can't.

——Anchor is not a pure player, and playing games is not just for personal preference.

In many cases, traffic is the yardstick of anchors' behavior.

So, guess what was the best way to play the show and get the most viewers in the game Hunter: Call of Shit this past week?

Do you even need to think about it?

I told you the name of the game is "Call of Shit"!

So, here comes the problem——

Those who are willing to smell shit and hunt, the audience will like to watch; those who are unwilling, the audience will watch those who are willing.

The effect of the program is placed there, just ask you whether to smell it or not!

What, don't you smell?

If you don't smell it, some people rush to smell it!

That's it, how many people want to hear it but don't know it!

——No kidding, many small anchors who didn't get the invitation to the internal test, their eyes are red with envy, okay!

Lin You's large-scale closed beta is not unconditionally open.

All [Honorary Players] were invited; all the permanent residents of the metropolis invited by [Honorary Players] were invited; in the final open invitation, 10,000 players were randomly invited.

The total is only 40,000 people. Compared with the previous game internal testing, it is indeed a huge scale, but compared to Yunmeng's player base, it is really very small.

Some small anchors were not selected, and it was normal to be jealous of the traffic.

"Envy and smell shit" may sound a little disgusting, and it's not on the table, but it's very common to tell the truth.

In the Internet age, in order to chase traffic, there are people who eat shit, so they are passively heard about, and the audience watches the excitement, which is the level of jokes.

At most, the joke tasted a little big.

Under this strange development, they watched the liveliness of the anchors for a whole week, and every time the anchor had to bend down and get close to the animal feces to obtain the information of the prey, it was their "hahaha" carnival moment .

cool?

Cool.

But now there is reincarnation in heaven, is it my turn?

That's absolutely impossible!

Under such a huge torrent of noise, many people want to make trouble, so vote again【Not enough taste! Double it! ]'s anchors were all sternly stopped by the massive barrage, and even threatened to take off fans.

The audience didn't give up until the host honestly voted for [1. Delete the smell of animal feces].

Even a big anchor with a good reputation like Super Tomato, after a lot of persuasion and negotiation, only won [2. Reduce the smell of animal feces], and was stared at by everyone, and voted for [Reduce 90%] .

Suddenly, the number of [Option 1] and [Option 2] soared, and soon there was a huge gap with the other options.

Compared with the first player referendum, it showed a diametrically opposite data trend.

In this way, many players finally felt a little relieved.

But it is not the last time to rest assured, and a large number of players are still waiting and watching.

——Because the refund time of Yunmeng game is 6 hours.

The official release time of the "Hunter: Call of the Wild" game is 6 pm the next day.

So it can be expected that after 12:00 noon tomorrow, or even after 1:00 pm, there will be a large number of orders and a large number of votes!

In this case, even if the final voting result is still unsatisfactory, at least you can choose to refund and stop the loss.

As for now?

Of course it is better to wait and see.

There are still players in the mood, continue to log in to Dinosaur Island or the playground, and go to Jurassic Park to join in the fun.

As for the players who are in a more tangled mood and are full of thoughts, they brush posts around full of worry, and go to bed early with anxiety.

Replenish your energy and prepare for the big battle tomorrow afternoon!

...

The next day, Lu Hui looked at the super topic of "The Last Moment", which had plummeted in popularity on the Internet, and sighed helplessly.

This made him couldn't help but think of what Zhong Chang said when talking about cooperation yesterday: "You have already seen Yunmeng's attitude towards partners, so there is no need to doubt Yunmeng's sincerity."

Lu Hui had to admit: Yunmeng really has nothing to say to his collaborators.

If Yunmeng put this series of big news on last Friday—even according to Zhong Chang’s disclosure, Yunmeng still has more serious news in his hands, waiting in line for the opportunity to release it! These can all be turned into offensive "bullets".

Then "The Last Moment" will definitely not achieve the current results-not only the sales are the same as the previous best sales results, but even the inventory of 170,000 VR devices has been cleared.

It's not that he doesn't have confidence in his own game, it's just that the levels are different.

Gamers and the press have hailed The Last Hour as "stunning" and "perfect," which sounds great, but that's on the track of a VR game.

Just like the most perfect silent film, if it is placed in the horizontal comparison of the entire film history, it will be selected by the new generation of audiences.

Then how does their black and white film without sound compare with a 4K120 fps blockbuster with special effects?

Not to mention Yunmeng's technology, in this evaluation system, it is at least a movie starting at 18K.

"It's incomparable!" Lu Hui shook his head helplessly, "And we're going to go back now and make a 2k24 frame movie."

"When will we be able to make an 18K movie?"

The temperament and style of the company are often influenced by the founder.

Why do the games made by Feihu often obsess over tapping the maximum potential of hardware devices?

Of course it's because Feihu's boss, Lu Hui, is very keen on this way.

Naturally, since Lin You came out with virtual reality equipment, Lu Hui had no idea how much he wanted to make a virtual reality game by himself, trying to tap the limits of the mirage.

Especially in Yunmeng's hands, the mirage seemed to have no limit at all, which greatly aroused his desire to explore.

Xu Tong, who had followed Lu Hui for a long time, suddenly said, "Boss, if you can be ruthless, maybe we can really give it a try and take the bus from Yunmeng?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Hui was still immersed in regret, and didn't react immediately.

"'The Last Moment'!" Xu Tong reminded again.

A simple reminder was enough, and Lu Hui immediately understood Xu Tong's meaning: to participate in the reset work of the game in exchange for the copyright of "The Last Moment" that Yunmeng wanted.

Copyright is indeed very good, but no matter how good things are, as long as the price is sufficient, they can be exchanged.

Even compared to what they want, copyright as a bargaining chip may not be enough to exchange.

Xu Tong's first reminder earlier, the phrase "Be hard-hearted", is actually talking about "chips", and how much benefit can be conceded in order to impress Yunmeng.

In the past, Yunmeng refused all of them, and everyone had no chance.

It's rare for Yunmeng to come here on his own initiative, maybe he can really give it a try?

"Contact Zhong Chang and talk about it in the afternoon. This time, let's go to Yunmeng to talk!" Lu Hui quickly made up his mind.

Yesterday, Zhong Chang came to buy the copyright, which was completely beyond Feihu's expectations. They all felt it was very sudden, so naturally they would not agree directly.

But now that you have an idea, let’s get started!

While Lin You just had an idea and was very interested, he seized the opportunity to talk about it quickly, otherwise, after Lin You's enthusiasm is over, who knows if Yunmeng will still want to make a reset version?

So, be quick!

After 12 noon, no surprise, the number of orders for "Hunter: Call of the Wild" began to increase rapidly.

One whole night plus one morning, only more than 300,000 pre-sale sales.

But at 2 p.m., Yunmeng employees had just started to work, and saw that the total sales had increased by 400,000 copies in just two hours.

And it's growing at a breakneck pace as time goes by.

At the same time, the total number of votes cast by players in the referendum has also risen all the way.

During this period, even during work and class time, there were a lot of crazy posts discouraging everyone from voting rationally, no less than last night:

"Brothers!! Don't! Again! Mistake!!"

"I just want to play games, please fulfill my trivial wish!"

...

Don't know if the posts helped or if everyone learned from the previous week.

By 5 pm, one hour before the voting deadline, the total number of votes cast by the players had reached more than 3.8 million.

The first two options still have an absolute advantage:

[1. Delete the smell of animal feces]. ——[42%]

【2. Reduce the smell of animal manure】. ——[32%]

【3. Replace the smell of animal manure】——[12%]

[4. Keep the current taste of animal manure without changing it. 】--[1%]

[Five, not enough taste! Double it! 】——[13%]

...

"The overall situation has been settled." Yelang sighed regretfully.
