Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 217 121. Milestone!
This pokeni community is actually strategic.

Don't underestimate that it only has the text function now, but as long as it develops for a period of time, it will become a gathering place for neon players.

According to Qing Zhiyuan's idea, although the pokeni community is mainly serving his own company now, the framework has been set, and he wants to expand it in the future, whether it is an official website or other types of sharing websites. It's a very quick thing.

In this way, it means that you already have a very important media platform, and it will be very convenient for you to promote or do publicity on it in the future.

And after the topic becomes hot, it can further increase the popularity of Pokeni.

At this point, it is actually more than just a forum.

Instead, it fired the first shot of the future electronic news media, but it will take a certain amount of time to develop and grow.

What's more, Qing Zhiyuan feels that it is too inefficient to go to the streets to find players and come back to do questionnaire surveys through the operation staff.

Although the interview can more intuitively observe the changes in the expressions of the players, but this process is quite troublesome, and the scale is generally not large.

Even in the field of statistics, the sample size of random checks is relatively small.

But the forum is different. Once players get used to commenting in the pokeni community, the number of people will gradually increase. You can quickly and intuitively see the players' evaluation of the game, so as to understand their favorite points and nasty place.

It is actually very helpful for making games in the future.

Another point, even if it is Qing Zhiyuan's selfishness:

I want to see intuitively how players praise themselves.

In the past, when players communicated offline, you had to hold player exchange meetings. That feeling was very uncomfortable.

It's equivalent to winning the Olympic champion, but you can't hear other people's praise.

Only the media can report one or two. If you want to hear the cheers of the masses at the bottom, you have to go down and inquire among them.

This is out of step with the development of the times.

The Internet era is an era of information explosion, an era of rapid dissemination of emotional value.

In times like these, it would be a shame not to have a pokeni community to see players' comments and accept their praise.

Moreover, for Qing Zhiyuan in his previous life, it is really a joy to discuss with them when he can see interesting comments in the forum or the community section of steam, even under the relevant videos of station B.

Without comments, I feel that I lost a lot of fun in the later stage.

Sometimes netizens' sand sculpture comments are more interesting than the game itself.

There is also a reason why the barrage became popular, because the comments themselves are very interesting.

……

In order to enjoy this moment, Qing Zhiyuan specially wrote a post in the pokeni community, and wrote it as the president.

The general idea is to thank the players for their company and support for such a long time.

[I believe that you have experienced a lot of related games in the process of growing up with P Club]

[Although the life in the game is our creation, it is also complete because of you]

[The life that each player experiences in pokeni games is definitely different]

[All the emotions, all the ups and downs, are hard to forget, right? 】

[Since this is the case, everyone may wish to leave their footprints here, write about your game stories, let us share together and make progress together? 】

[Thank you for having you, pokeni official. 】

Qing Zhiyuan didn't have the nerve to name himself, mainly because it was too public and not good.

He likes the low-key and quiet way of pretending.

Then he waited for the compliments from the players, and smiled darkly in private.

Qing Zhiyuan registered the forum, and opened a corresponding theme board for each game of Pokeni, and then disclosed the news to Guoletong and other news media, hoping to do a wave of publicity.

Of course, it is a paid way.

……

Such news was published in the latest issue of Guoletong Journal:
"With the development of personal computers, the Internet has gradually become popular in the world, and people can communicate, share, and obtain information on the Internet.

The network may become a very important development trend in the future.

Last year, there were domestic operators that could provide dial-up Internet access, and the number of computer purchases was also increasing exponentially. It is estimated that within the next ten years, computers will become a must-have item for every household.

On personal computers, many excellent game works have been born this year.

"The Elder Scrolls: Arena" is a role-playing game developed and published by Bethesda Softworks, which was released in March this year.

Emperor Uriel Septim VII was betrayed by the Empire's battle mage Jeka Tharn and imprisoned in another dimension.

Travel alone across the vast continent of Tamriel in search of the legendary Rod of Chaos to rescue the true Emperor and restore peace to the Empire.

The game itself has high playability and is full of exploration elements. It is a very rare masterpiece of the game.

"Warcraft: Humans and Orcs": LAN real-time battle game, players can experience stand-alone battles in this game, understand the basic operation of the game, and can also play against other players online through the LAN.

The difficulty of operation is quite high, you need to operate multiple units at the same time, but the world view is very large, the content is very rich, and it has a very rich and imaginative western fantasy color..."

After introducing the development of the world network and electronic computers, as well as the changes brought about by computer games, Guo Letong specially wrote content related to the pokeni community.

"Pokeni has started the first forum community in China. Players who are interested in pokeni games or want to make complaints about their game works can leave a message in this forum.

President Qing Zhiyuan said that the corresponding developers will definitely read everyone's feedback carefully and strive to make future games well.

At the same time, you can also write down your game mood in the forum and share it with other players.

Isn't it fun? "

This introduction on the forum home page is quoted later.

The forum address is given at the end.

……

"Huh? A personal computer?"

"There are also games on PC."

"Yeah, it seems that there have been games on computers a long time ago, but it's not very popular here."

"How expensive is a computer? I don't even think about it. A computer with the latest high-end configuration costs at least 50 yen, right?"

"Well, I can't afford it at all."

"The company does have a computer, and it equips us with it, but we have to return it after we use it up, let alone install games on the computer."

"If you buy it yourself, it will be too painful."

The monthly salary of many office workers is only 20 yuan a month, and 50 yuan to buy a computer is indeed a bit extravagant.

Game consoles are significantly cheaper in comparison.

Sega MD is only 29800. This year, Sony is said to be launching a more powerful game console, and the price will not exceed 50000 yen.

"What's more, the performance of the game console is better than that of the computer, so I don't even want to play computer games.

Unless there is some magical work that must be played. "

"These two games look quite interesting, but I really don't like the style of painting. I guess domestic players are not easy to accept, right?"

"And I saw that the games on the computer are actually quite rough, not as good as the picture quality on the current game consoles."

"..."

Players, you are discussing with each other.

But what they stated is actually a fact.

Because PC games will not develop until after 2000. In the 90s, computers were mostly used as personal office tools, but when the number of owners increased, everyone felt that this thing not only It would be nice to have the ability to do office work, but also to play some games after work
In such a market environment, more and more game manufacturers have invested in it, and then reversely promoted the development of computer hardware, such as graphics cards, sound cards, and memory, and this has led to the vigorous development of computer games later.

But now, neon players are actually more accustomed to playing games through game consoles.

Players who bought Goletone, while commenting on the computer game, also saw the advertisement of pokeni published below.

"Pokeni community? What the hell is this?"

"don't know."

"Dial-up Internet access needs to be operated on a computer."

"Ah~ It's such a hassle, what's the use?"

"I'm not so sure either."

"Looking at the introduction, it seems that you can write down your own experience of the game, and then share it in this community. Others can see what you wrote as long as they log in to the pokeni community."

"Hey? Is that so? But why should I write it and share it with others?"

"Who knows, isn't it the most interesting time to communicate about the game experience? Especially when you can have a drink with your friends in the izakaya at night, chat about the game, and talk about the interesting things that happened recently, really. Very pleasant and happy.”

"The president of pokeni really wants to come up with something, and make some weird things out, why not use this time to develop the game properly?"

"That's right, it's very difficult for people who don't have concentration to succeed."

"It's all because the producers of Pokeni are so good that they gave this useless president so much freedom."

……

Of course, it is impossible for Qing Zhiyuan to know the complaints of these players offline, but as time goes by, the media and newspapers also published advertisements for the pokeni community. Any player's message.

Not to mention the large-scale content sharing.

This incident completely deviated from Qing Zhiyuan's cognition and expectations.

According to his thinking, although not so many people own personal computers in Nihong, at least there will be a few diehard fans who are rich, right?
I look at the computer in a daze every day, hoping that someone will comment on it, but there is none.

At least no one left a message to share in the forum.

"Ah~ how could this happen?"

Qing Zhiyuan felt very uncomfortable.

It shouldn't be like this.

Qing Zhiyuan fell into deep self-doubt and despair, with a depressed expression.

Or should we wait more, after all, the Internet is still too new for current players, and it needs a process of acceptance and adaptation?
But at this moment, a post suddenly appeared on the forum.

Qing Zhiyuan immediately sat up from the chair, and opened the content excitedly.
