I make games to scare players from crying

Chapter 214 The Players Are Discussing

Yang Ying was helpless, even though he wanted to prevent the early release of the game, in the end he was so soft-spoken that it was hard to convince Mr. An.

No way, we can only let nature take its course and everything depends on fate.

In such a short time, let’s not talk about fixing BUG, ​​even optimization is too late...

Now that the matter has been decided, he can't change anything.

So, upset, he asked his assistant to explain the game's release time to the person in charge of the operation department, so that they could prepare in advance.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the assistant came back and reported that the people in the operation department had already known
This made Yang Ying a little stunned.

It turned out that Mr. An had approached the operation department before notifying himself.
After working on it for a long time, the person in charge of the game himself was the last to know.
At this moment, Yang Ying had mixed feelings in his heart, and he felt exhausted physically and mentally.Moreover, for the first time, he developed a dislike for the company.

The next day, around 10 am.

The V blog operation of Jiyou released the notice that "Blood Scientist" will be released in advance almost when everyone just went to work.

Such as:
[We interviewed the game producer and got first-hand information on "Blood Scientist"]

[Okay Mr. Meng, I understand, then we just get ready and wait for your game.By the way, the trademark transfer has been applied for.Regarding the development budget, you can apply to us if you need it at this stage, and we will issue a loan after evaluation.If you have any questions later, please contact me in time. ]
"Development budget? Just tell me how to apply. Oh yes, there is another question."

[Alright Mr. Meng, we trust your judgment.In addition, have you read the promotion plan?Our colleagues in the promotion department want to know some inside information about the development.For example, development progress or development links and the like. ]
[We need to send the game to the media for review a week in advance, and then they need time to play the game and write the manuscript.So if you have a release time in mind, you have to let us know one month before this time, so that we can prepare for the promotion work at home and abroad. ]
Hearing this, Meng Shu smiled.

Meng Shu suddenly thought of something, and quickly stopped Supervisor Lian on the phone.

[What's wrong, Boss Meng? ]
Meng Shu coughed twice, and narrated the thoughts in his mind just now.

If it is said that the notice of Jiyou Vbo has attracted the attention of a small number of players, then the articles written by the media on the major platforms have attracted the attention of most others.

"It doesn't feel right. Jiyou is such a big company, why haven't those evaluation agencies rated it when it is about to be released? Is it because Jiyou didn't give cdk, or is it not going to be released overseas at all?"

[Unprecedented bouncing tickets!Jiyou.com's horror cool game is actually on sale ahead of schedule! 】

"I don't want foreign players to only know about the VR version. I want to let the original version of "Dark Forest" lead to the VR version at the last moment."

But the player base is relatively large, even if most of the wait-and-see attitudes are removed, the remaining number should not be underestimated.

Therefore, even if it is released in advance, players are only shouting for support, but still holding a wait-and-see mentality in their hearts.

Immediately, as soon as the news came out, before half an hour had passed, the major game media, certified big V, and experienced gamers on Vbo began to scramble to forward and praise it.
At the same time, eye-catching advertisements have also been published on large-scale traffic platforms such as Doudou Film Review, Bihu, iPlay, and Danmaku.

"Our group was still discussing "Dark Forest" yesterday, but today there was news about "Blood Scientist", and no one discussed it."

"Now that Jiyou has released the game in advance in order to regain the popularity, it is enough to let their hard work get what they deserve. I am very busy with so many things to do."

In addition, the trailer of "Blood Scientist" shows the kind of straightforward attacking aliens, and there is no sense of horror, so the players are a little hesitant.

"Big guys. Is there any difference between 5 days early and 5 days late..."

[Response from the developer of "Blood Scientist": In the future, we will continue to update and add content to ensure the freshness of the game]

"A group of sour dogs, our country has finally produced a decent horror masterpiece, you just belittle it like this? Are you so disrespectful? If you don't support it, let's keep some virtue in your mouth. If you are so powerful, why don't you do it? No way. Just stop beeping."

Director Lian was startled when he heard this, and then asked softly.

A familiar female voice came from his mobile phone.

[Revealing the reason for the reverse bounce of "Bloody Scientist", the producer said it was all for the players! 】

"It's not a game that people are looking forward to. It's just an ordinary game that fights against aliens. I guess it's a gimmick to make it easier to sell."

"Upstairs, the only game is not Huaguo's? Did we say that we don't support it? It's only been a while since the keyword came over, right?"

As a result, all kinds of eye-catching posts from the media are flooding the communication platform.

"Release in advance? Can't wait so much? Is the game ready? Is the optimization done? Don't let the whole thing come out."

Meng Shu spoke in a flat tone.

"Advance release? Good! I've been numb by Shimmer's horror games, and I can finally play some refreshing horror games!"

"I open a random website now and it is an advertisement for "Bloody Scientist". How much does it cost?"

Some players even expressed their concerns about the game, fearing that what they bought was just an instant noodle game, not even fast food. .

At the same time, this large-scale network-wide promotion made "Blood Scientist" overwhelm the VR version of "Dark Forest" in terms of topic popularity, and became a hot topic on VBlog and huddle on that day.

"So, what do you mean, you want to announce the progress and release date of my new game?"

Some other small platforms, such as a certain game forum, player communities such as the Fourth Natural Disaster Club, have also appeared in reverse promotions.

[Mr. Meng, you can consider doing this. After all, your game topic is quite high. It can’t just fade away like this. We will also help you stir up the topic. ]
Hearing this, Meng Shu shook his head.

"No one will remember those games that were released on time. This wave of reverse bounce tickets of Jiyou has successfully made people remember him! Awesome!"

"As for the development work, I mainly focus on the plot performance, dubbing and the rest of the program. After the completion, the game will be provided to you for overseas translation work, and the rest is nothing else."

For their player base, since they are all good shooting games, why not play foreign FPS with better quality?
At the very least, they have word of mouth, quality, and an old factory.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about this. I haven't set a release date. My request is very simple. When these tedious release processes are completed, it will be released at any time."

Although the reverse bounce of "Bloody Scientist" has caused waves among the player community, due to problems such as word of mouth, high pricing, and no media ratings, the ups and downs are not great.

"It's produced and released in one, and Xiyou is a platform, so it will definitely not be on the cyber platform. Think about their last "Dense Forest" getting a lot of bad reviews on the cyber platform, and they can't control it. It forms two extremes with the particularly well-received games of Shimmer."

[10 minutes to take you to understand the content of the innovative horror game "Bloody Scientist"]

Especially for the Danmaku app, a 5-second advertisement was hung on the screen opening interface, covering tens of thousands of people.

In addition, players already knew that "Blood Scientist" would be released on 7.15, but now this operation was 5 days ahead of schedule, which completely confused them, and they began to discuss it on the Internet.

"Based on the lessons of "Dense Forest", I guess "Blood Scientist" will do well. After all, such a big company, seeing the popularity and announcement, is full of confidence. Anyway, there are still 5 days to wait. Just wait."

Supervisor Lian on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, not sure if he was stunned or something happened.

["Blood Scientist" may become the first horror game that makes people vent their fear]

[But]
"It's nothing to worry about. Originally, I didn't even plan to announce the game trailer, because the game itself released a press conference video to make it popular, so I didn't want to make trouble at this juncture. In the end, you guys made a mess instead. , so I had to announce the game trailer to divert the attention of the public.”

"As long as the optimization is done well and the graphics are decent, nothing else matters. I will definitely buy it, and I want to see how to vent my fear."

"Upstairs, will the game be released early if it is not ready? Are you as brainless as you when you are a high-level technical game?"

He has settled his feud with Unlimited Online Entertainment while browsing the promotional documents sent by Director Lian while talking with him.

"Our next game is the VR version of "Dark Forest", as you know. The original version of "Dark Forest" is now only available in Chinese and has not been localized overseas."

Of course, this kind of reverse bounce operation naturally spread to Meng Shu's ears.

"Let's not talk about unjust games like "Jungle Forest", not to mention copying "Dark Forest", I don't even understand the copying, and I have the nerve to sell it for 168 yuan, while "Dark Forest" only sells for 69 yuan."

Supervisor Lian on the other end of the phone expressed his understanding.

"Pre-release preview? Tech games also play this game? That's okay, you can check the quality of the game."

"That's right, support domestic games! Bought it!"

There was a lot of embarrassment among them, coupled with the vigorous promotion of various websites, for a while, the Internet was full of news reports about "Bloody Scientist".

After all, there are many masterpieces for sale such as the VR remake of "Dark Forest" and "Dead Space".Later, there were popular masterpieces such as "Control Failure" and "Mountain in the Sky".

Above are the big anchors of the major live broadcast platforms.

At this time, in the only game office.

At the same time, there is also a pre-sale preview list.

"So I thought about it, since the VR version of "Dark Forest" is also going to be released overseas, it is better to translate the original "Dark Forest" into multiple languages ​​and promote it abroad in advance, and wait until foreign players know about it and play it. After this game, we will release a VR version. Maybe it will work better, don’t you think?”

Therefore, although the reverse bounce of "Bloody Scientist" caused a wave of heat, the response was a little mediocre.

But after a few seconds, he recovered and responded.

"Thank you, but I know what you are thinking. Announcing the content of the game to attract traffic? Actually, there is no need for this. Skilled games are now on sale in advance, so let them release it with peace of mind. Ripe fruits should have received Harvest, I don't want to make trouble."

[Mr. Meng, is it too late to learn multiple languages ​​now?Both games are of the same type, I am afraid that the multi-language version of the original version will affect the sales of the VR version, and]
"That's fine."

Meng Shu smiled, her voice was full of confidence on the phone.

"I think that anyone who has played the original version of "Dark Forest" is afraid that there is no one who does not look forward to the VR version. Moreover, if you don't play the original version and start the VR version directly, although there will be no barriers, the perception should be reduced. A lot, especially the huge content gap between the two versions of the game."

"Do as I said. Multilingualism is not for cutting leeks, but for building a fan base for the VR version, a base for foreign players."
