In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

After confirming the delayed update and having a rough plan for dealing with cheating issues, although the programmers were still under immense pressure, Xu Meng's tension immediately eased a lot.

As the saying goes, 'Once the thought of slacking off arises, one suddenly feels the world is vast and wide.'

Although encountering difficulties and being forced to postpone can hardly be called slacking off.

But after all, there was an extra week, and Xu Meng's sense of relaxation immediately increased.

In addition to helping with coding, he could also squeeze out time to work on the intelligent core and manage the company's business.

Even when it was time to get off work, he would join the testing team and play a few rounds of [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] with the employees who were working overtime and playing games.

At first, everyone was very mindful of workplace etiquette, and bullets would always go around the boss.

In face-to-face gunfights, Xu Meng almost never lost.

Even the most skilled employees would suddenly become outline masters when facing the boss in a gunfight.

— Sometimes, for the sake of the boss's gaming experience, they would even hit one or two shots, but they would definitely be the first to fall.

Those who had a certain level of skill but not too high, and accidentally killed the boss because they didn't react in time, would also feel guilty afterward.

Helpless, Xu Meng had to use his little assistant Chen Mengling's name to play.

At first, he was worried that these people would let her win because of Chen Mengling's identity as a girl.

But soon he was relieved —

Except for the boss, these people didn't care if you were male or female.

They killed without mercy!

When they got carried away, they would chase him halfway across the map just to kill him, showing an attitude of 'who cares who you are, everyone must die!'

Xu Meng was chased and killed for an entire game, so angry that he kept slapping the table.

It wasn't until he was completely familiar with the map, mastered the correct timing for ambushes, and the hidden ranking mechanism assigned him to the 'lower horse' camp, that he was finally able to fight back and forth and enjoy the fun of the game.

As for company management…

It was so smooth that it was a bit boring.

Despite the chaotic public opinion about the [Frost Snow Project] outside, the mall's revenue has been very healthy.

The overall revenue for the first week reached an astonishing 78 million.

Compared to May, it has increased nearly 40 times!

Looking at this situation, the first month's revenue is going to break 100 million.

As long as the [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] gameplay can be launched smoothly and on schedule, there is no doubt that the revenue will exceed 100 million.

Now, not only can the player monthly active data chase [Divine Bird]'s tail, but even the revenue has hope of catching up.

The peak revenue of [Divine Bird] was in the month it was first released, with a total global monthly revenue of 480 million.

But that was the result of the double buff increase of the opening server peak + huge marketing budget.

But in fact, without the huge marketing expenditure, the real profit curve may not become ugly.

Of course, making money is making money, but if [Frost Snow Project] surpasses it, it will definitely make everyone from top to bottom at Konjac Games uncomfortable for a long time.

In addition to the most core revenue data, user growth is also quite optimistic.

The 10 million mark has been broken, and the employees of the operations department have already set their sights on the 15 million mark.

Many ACG games peak upon debut, and the number of registered users in the first month of launch is the limit — including amazing achievements of breaking 20 million or 30 million in the first week.

But after that, monthly active and daily active will quickly decrease until it returns to its proper level.

Of course, although the decline is inevitable, the total number of registered users in the first wave is still as high as possible!

The ultimate goal of the Zhuzhong Operations Department is to take advantage of the launch of [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] to hit 20 million player registrations!

Finally, there was a small accident —

Two employees from the original painting department resigned and left.

The reason for leaving was that the elders in the family were ill and needed to be by their side for a long time to take care of them.

After deliberation, they decided to return to their hometown to develop.

Then the next day, the little assistant Chen Mengling found out that the two had gone to Konjac Games.

Xu Meng was a little speechless.

You can leave if you leave, why bother cursing the elders in your family?

You are neither senior executives nor core technical personnel, and you don't have a non-compete agreement. Isn't it just a matter of a few words if you want to leave?

When he resigned from the big factory, he didn't find any reason, and directly said to the leader:

"It's boring to go to work, I want to make games."

That's it.

After being speechless, he threw the matter to the back of his mind.

The friction between Zhuzhong and Konjac is not enough to anger the grass-roots workers.

As for the lack of original painters, just add more.

Now Zhuzhong's original painters are not lacking. There are still a dozen characters whose final drafts have not been remade.

This also led to many original painters testing and playing games together after get off work, which was a lot of fun.

On the contrary, modelers and animators are still working overtime every day, suffering to the point of tears.

The first week of June passed in a flash.

—

Entering the second week, Xu Meng looked at everyone's work progress and found that it was very smooth — the progress was generally better than expected.

So he planned to update the game body when updating [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] in mid-month.

Why not wait until July 1st?

Because updating once a month was the normal progress before the [Frost Snow Project].

If the speed is still the same after the remake, even if the actual output quality has far exceeded the past, it will be difficult for players to truly feel the diligence of the [Frost Snow Project] project team.

But a major update every half month is a completely different feeling!

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Emphasizing the importance of players cannot only be said, nor can it only be done — it must be said and done at the same time so that players can notice it.

Song Zhicheng deeply agreed and immediately adjusted the publicity plan.

Another three days passed like this.

Until this day in the evening, Xu Meng watched the clock on the table jump to [18:00].

He skillfully exited the code page and was about to open the [Frost Snow Project beta] version to start today's testing work.

He felt that his skills had greatly improved, and he was about to enter the "middle horse" ranks!

But the little assistant Chen Mengling knocked on the door outside with a loud voice —

"Boss, something bad happened!!!"

"…" Xu Meng stopped and looked up at the door speechlessly.

"Come in, what's wrong again?"

The little assistant quickly pushed the door open, "Boss, something really bad happened!"

"How was your defense?"

The defense at Ningzhou University of Science and Technology was relatively late, and Chen Mengling had not been seen in the past few days because she was busy with this.

"Uh…" The little assistant was interrupted by Xu Meng, so she could only say this first, "It went smoothly."

"Oh, this is not important, what accidents can there be in a liberal arts defense."

"Boss, listen to me, Konjac Games announced their new game!"

"Oh?" Xu Meng's eyes lit up, "They finally couldn't sit still?"

That's right, a week after the [Frost Snow Project] was remade and launched, the friendly merchants roughly estimated the game's revenue for this week and couldn't sit still.

Konjac Games, which had a similar project in development, was especially so.

"Quick, let me see, what did they post? Is it actual gameplay?"

Xu Meng asked impatiently.

He had been curious about this game from Konjac, which only stayed in the mouth of the fourth-dimensional game undercover agent, for a long time.

The little assistant said while handing over the phone: "No, there is no actual footage."

"They released a concept pv and also promoted a painter invited from Izumo."

"Concept pv?" Xu Meng was very disappointed.

"Isn't that just creating a new folder?"

The little assistant opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to refute, but in the end, she was speechless.

She could only sigh and say: "That painter's work is still… uh, quite amazing."

"Is it? Then I have to see it." Xu Meng had already started to look forward to it while taking the phone.

— Looking forward to when the hidden sword in the drawer can be used.
