In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

“What… what's going on?”

Song Zhicheng stared at the charts in front of him, his eyes wide.

He had worked in the mobile gaming industry for seven years as an operations manager, having worked in both large and small companies, and managed many game projects. He considered himself knowledgeable.

But he had never seen a scene like this before!

Before today, the total revenue of "Project Frostfall" for the entire month of May was less than 3 million, already lying in the ICU, ready to be sent to the crematorium at any time.

It was not an exaggeration that it was predicted to shut down by [Game Observer].

But now, less than 10 minutes after the trailer was released, players passionately recharged 100,000 monthly cards!

Only 10 minutes!

This data might not be worth mentioning compared to the top-ranked games—those were terrifying behemoths with revenues of hundreds of millions.

But "Project Frostfall" was lying in a coffin waiting to be buried one second, and the next second it jumped up, snatched the suona, and danced while playing it.

The contrast was too strong.

The game hasn't even been updated yet!

Song Zhicheng rationally knew why this was happening—

Many players loved the new characters shown in the trailer so much that they couldn't wait for the update the next day and wanted to draw these characters in advance.

But "Project Frostfall" had been half-dead for two months, with a large loss of players and the online rate plummeting to the bottom.

The people who were still playing would just log in, clear their daily tasks, and then log off, basically not saving up many card-drawing resources.

Now that they suddenly wanted characters, they could only recharge and draw them by force.

But…

It's still outrageous!

There were so many characters in the trailer, but only 8 of them had actually been remastered. The rest only had finalized illustrations, and the modeling and animation were still being frantically worked on.

Of course, back to the point.

With Dreamforge's scale, completing the remastering of a full 8 characters in one month, and such high-quality and detailed remastering, was almost a miracle in the eyes of its peers.

Song Zhicheng, an old-timer who had been in the mobile gaming circle for more than 7 years, although not in a technical position, still had enough industry common sense.

Because of this, looking at the revenue curve that was still climbing, symbolizing the resurrection of "Project Frostfall", he was both shocked and gratified.

The almost obsessive efforts of his colleagues in the past month had yielded results. How could he not be gratified?

He quickly sorted out the data and told the boss the good news.

Xu Meng had already returned to his office. After seeing this data, he decisively forwarded it to the office group—

“The players' eyes are discerning. The efforts everyone puts in can be seen by the players.”

“The players' real money is your strongest support!”

The group was filled with cheers:

“Awesome!!”

“Boss is wise!”

“Yay, bonuses and holidays are in sight!”

“I knew it, the butt I worked on for 30,000 faces is invincible!”

“Help me up, I can work on another big thunder!”

“I didn't dare to speak when I used to browse the forums. Now I directly browse the forums with my real name! I can finally hold my head high!”

“Someone actually scolded Buluhe for being vulgar? Just say you're jealous!”

“A classmate messaged me privately and asked me to teach him how to draw butts, hahaha.”

… …

The office group was surprisingly active, and everyone was excitedly talking non-stop.

In the past month, even when models came to the company to perform a fashion show, the group was not so lively.

After that, everyone was buried in work. Under the circumstances of short construction periods, heavy workloads, and uncertain project prospects, the work pressure was surprisingly high.

The entire company was in a state of high tension.

And now, whether it was the online response or the intuitive data, it fully proved the success of the boss's remastering direction.

So the invisible pressure was greatly reduced, and the suppressed emotions were relieved.

Everyone was chatting like crazy in a retaliatory manner to express their excitement.

Of course, Xu Meng would not spoil the fun by jumping out to stop them.

He happily watched everyone chat, while browsing social networks and game forums, drinking wolfberry water, and leisurely enjoying the show.

First of all, naturally, it was the comment area of ​​Weiguang's trailer (the P station hasn't released it yet)—

“One word, awesome!”

“Dreamforge, you did a good job!”

“At this moment, the 100 H-games on my computer are eclipsed.”

“Why isn’t it updated yet?!”

“Wuwuwu, I really like Sister Tongque, @Dreamforge boss, can you give it to me? I am a student.”

“After watching the trailer: blood boiled! Thinking that I am not yet an adult: grief-stricken!”

“Why restrict it to 18 years old? Isn’t the money of us high school students money?!”

“I want to report, Dreamforge discriminates against minors!”

“Hahahaha, let me tell you a joke, pilipili…”

… …

Xu Meng flipped through more than a dozen pages, and everywhere were messages from players who were so excited that they forgot themselves.

They couldn't wait for "Project Frostfall" to be updated now, and even the money for recharging was ready.

As for the dissatisfaction of underage netizens, they can only be dissatisfied.

Xu Meng would not relax on this matter.

The scale of "Project Frostfall" was already sensitive. If a child stole their parents' bank card and made it to the hot search, the consequences would be much more serious than other games.

In addition, there were friendly companies who couldn't wait for their competitors to die quickly, and the game might be gone.

Xu Meng's risk radar was beeping.

Be wild when you should be wild, and be stable when you should be stable, so that you can last for a long time.

After reading the comment area of ​​Weiguang, Xu Meng wanted to see the reactions of other mobile gaming communities.

But he quickly discovered a problem—

The mobile gaming circle has a big difference from the general gaming circle:

In the general gaming circle, everyone is a player, so they are all in the same camp, so they can get along harmoniously in a forum.

Helping each other and fighting against manufacturers together are common things.

But in the mobile gaming circle, every mobile gaming company hopes that its own users will always stay in its own community, and only play its own games, and don't even talk about other games—if you have to talk about them, you can only say bad things.

At best, you can turn all the users of other companies into your own.

This concept has led to the division and confrontation of mobile gaming communities.

Mobile game players are artificially confined to small, closed communities, and there is no public discussion community with enough influence.

Some players will even stand with the manufacturer and attack other players, and they will do everything they can to attack.

It's outrageous.

Xu Meng didn't like this phenomenon, but there was nothing he could do about it.

—Dreamforge only has a tendency to rise from the coffin, and it is still 108,000 miles away from rectifying the industry.

He downloaded several apps from friendly companies to see the reactions of mobile game players.

Then he was happy to find that this artificial closure was broken by Dreamforge in a strange way today—

Almost all mobile gaming communities were talking about "Project Frostfall", and several dynamic images of real-life characters making big moves were spread everywhere.

[Big is good! White is beautiful! White and big, ideal in life]

[Brothers, have you seen the "Project Frostfall" trailer? I'm already downloading the client]

[A trailer of less than 5 minutes made me change two pairs of underwear]

[When will our game have big-breasted girls?]

[Can the management delete posts a little slower? I haven't saved the dynamic images yet]

… …

Mobile game players have never seen such high-quality, turbulent game characters, let alone play them.

The stimulation was too straightforward and too strong. Compared with the various cute characters on the market, it was a completely different style.

This directly opened the door to a new world for them.

The full of desire to express themselves could not be restrained at all.

However, the community management of each app had to jump out, delete their posts, and prohibit them from discussing.

Asking for monthly tickets, asking for follow-up reading, asking for recommendations!
