Chapter 69 The First Day of Old Liu's Absence (35)

After Mu Chen returned to Shuguang Entertainment, he first looked at the data of League of Legends and Dark Souls.

Now the number of League of Legends players in China is close to saturation, but the number of overseas players has been significantly improved after Mu Chen's previous promotion at the Golden Joystick Awards; Mu Chen was pleasantly surprised. In just over half a month, the overseas sales of Dark Souls reached 20 copies.

The extremely curious Mu Chen opened the Dark Soul Overseas Player Forum in his office, he wanted to see why Dark Soul is so popular.

However, after opening the forum, Mu Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw the most popular post, but it was mainly because the picture described in this post was so familiar.

"Oh! Why is this game so difficult? I can't beat the first mob with a hammer at all. Can someone who has passed the game teach me?"

Seeing this, Mu Chen thought of Yang Wei, the anchor of Turkey Live.

Looking down, as Mu Chen expected, there is a large group of netizens watching jokes.

"My God! Why do you think the boss is a mob?"

"Buy me a Yasuo skin, and I will teach you to pass the level without taking any damage. If you are interested, please contact: 808-******"

Seeing the second comment below, Mu Chen shook his head and laughed.

I didn't expect that there are big brothers from Europe and the United States starting business, but the tuition fee is a bit expensive.

Of course, in addition to these funny posts, there are also many technical posts and analysis posts in the forum.

One of the posts made Mu Chen lament that the masters are among the people.

"Recently, many people have asked me, what is the fun of Dark Soul? Why are so many people playing it? Today, Joey will sort out the reasons why Dark Soul is so popular:
First of all, before the advent of Dark Soul, most of the games on the market were the kind of refreshing games. This type of game even once ruled the entire gaming world (Europe and the United States), but Dark Soul did the opposite. In short, let the spoiled players challenge the increasingly difficult levels, so that the players like this kind of gameplay that challenges their limits, and the strong contrast between the difficulty and difficulty makes it easy for them to like this kind of game. The players can't stop.

The second is the map of this game. Dark Soul has a very exquisite map design.Each map has intricate paths and dark passages connected together to form a network structure, full of exploration.Sometimes you will find a gloomy underground labyrinth that is connected to the base camp by a trail, which feels wonderful and shocking.Sometimes you can suddenly find an artifact in an inconspicuous place, and even in many levels, players can use the map to kill mobs and bosses.The details on these maps are enough to illustrate the subtlety of Dark Souls.

The last point, and the most important point, is that the main storyline of Dark Souls is mostly adapted from Ragnarok in Norse mythology.With the support of the traditional mythology system, its story background is much more substantial than most games.

A small object and a small dialogue are all connected with the big background. Even if you don't study it carefully, you will quickly immerse yourself in the game world.

Although I don't know why a Xiaguo company can make such an excellent game with Norse mythology as the background, but this does not affect my admiration for this game in the slightest.

Finally, let me say one more thing, this game is too difficult..."

Mu Chen read this post very patiently. After all, the game made by his company feels quite good after being stripped of its merits and praised one by one.

And this player named Joey indeed made a very reasonable analysis, although it was not complete, but it was the most penetrating in Mu Chen's post.

And it is precisely because of analysis posts like Joey in the forum that Dark Soul is being recommended to new players by more and more old players. (In fact, what I think in my heart is: I was abused so badly by this game, why should I pull a few down to be abused together, it is better to be abused alone than to be abused by others...)
As for the doubts in the last post, Mu Chen actually thought about changing the background to a domestic mythology background.

But after he tried to modify part of it, he found that it was not so easy.Because the myths and stories in China are too complicated, and there are many systems, Mu Chen will not let it go in the end.

After that, Mu Chen also watched some game videos in the forum.

However, after looking through a dozen or so videos, he didn't find that kind of particularly powerful player. This person passed the level very reluctantly. If they were asked to play again, they would probably have to kneel.

But even so, these players who have cleared the level are big bosses in the eyes of other players. Under these videos, there are often a group of people arguing for apprenticeship, and some people offer a lot of money, and even say You need to pay for it... Ahem, you really are a hardcore player!
Closer to home, after Mu Chen browsed the game forums of overseas players, especially after seeing those customs clearance videos, he suddenly thought of a good promotional method.

"Xiaomo, call Lao Liu here for me..."

Mu Chen subconsciously told Tang Xiaomo to call Liu Jin.

"Are you stupid? Old Liu is still in Fusang and hasn't come back yet!"

Tang Xiaomo's clear and sweet voice sounded behind Muchen.

Muchen: "..."

The first day when Lao Liu was away... Miss him!
Helpless, Mu Chen had no choice but to go to the planning department of Shuguang Entertainment, which is in charge of game activities.

"I will post an announcement on the domestic and foreign Dark Souls official forums later, saying: Dawn Entertainment will hold a week-long Dark Souls clearance contest, and each player can publish their recorded clearance videos in the competition column , the top three players with the shortest clearance time will receive bonuses of [-], [-], and [-] respectively."

Muchen believes that under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.

Especially taking advantage of the current popularity of Dark Soul among European and American player groups, strike while the iron is hot and launch a customs clearance competition, which will definitely bring the popularity of Dark Soul to a higher level.

Just like that, because of an announcement from Suguang Entertainment, Dark Souls players around the world are gearing up to try to hit the prize money of this competition.

But... Judging from what Mu Chen has learned, many players may not be able to clear the level in a week even if they have strategies...

But this is all the evil that Mu Chen made at the beginning, who told him to make the game more difficult and harder.

After finalizing the activities of Dark Souls, Mu Chen is ready to start a new game project, which is to make a game to be played on the switch.

Immediately Mu Chen was going to ask Liu Jin to coordinate the candidates for the new game project team, but when he was about to call someone, he suddenly remembered that Liu Jin is not in the company now.

Ugh……

The first day of Lao Liu's absence...

Miss him so much!
　Ask for a recommendation ticket...

　　Thanks guys!
