I Make Games To Scare Crying Players - Chapter 214

  Chapter 214 The players are discussing

  Yang Ying was helpless, even though he wanted to prevent the early release of the game, but 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, everything depends on fate.

   It’s just 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 operations 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 is the last to know.

  At this moment, Yang Ying felt mixed feelings, a little exhausted. 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.

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

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

  Suddenly, 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 rush to repost and praise,

  At the same time, eye-catching advertisements were also published on large-scale traffic platforms such as Doudou Film Review, Bihu, Love Play, and Danmaku.

  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.

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

   Because of this, all kinds of eye-catching posts from the media are flooding the communication platform.

like:

  【We interviewed the game producer and got a first-hand account of Bloody Scientist】

  【Unprecedented bouncing tickets! Jiyou.com’s horror cool game is on sale ahead of schedule! 】

  【Ten minutes will take you to understand the content of the innovative horror game “Bloody Scientist”】

  【Revealed the reason for the reverse bounce of “Bloody Scientist”, the producer said it was all for the players! 】

  【”Blood Scientist” may become the first horror game that makes people vent their fear】

  【Response from the developer of “Blood Scientist”: We will continue to update and add content in the future to ensure the freshness of the game】

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

   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”.

  Plus, 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.

   “Big guys. Is there any difference between 5 days early and 5 days late…”

  “It’s not a game that people are looking forward to, it’s just an ordinary game about fighting aliens. I guess it’s a gimmick, so it’s easy to sell.”

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

   “That’s right, support domestic games! Bought it!”

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

   “Pre-release preview? Tech games also play this set? That’s okay, you can check the quality of the game.”

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

   “Advance release? Good job! I’ve been numb by Shimmer’s horror games, and I can finally play some refreshing horror games!”

   “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!”

   “Advanced release? Can’t wait so much? Is the game ready? Is the optimization done? Don’t let the whole thing come out.”

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

   “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?”

“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.”

   “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.”

“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.”

   “Upstairs, the only game is not from Huaguo? Did we say that we don’t support it? It took only a while to smell the keywords coming, right?”

“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.”

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

   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”.

  In addition, the trailer of “Blood Scientist” shows the kind of casually fighting aliens, without any sense of horror, so the players hesitated.

   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.

   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.

  Thus, although the reverse bounce of “Bloody Scientist” caused a wave of heat, the response was a little flat.

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

  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.

  At the same time, this kind of large-scale network-wide promotion made “Bloody Scientist” suppress the VR version of “Dark Forest” in terms of topic popularity, and became a hot topic on V blogs and almost on that day.

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

   At this time, in the only game office.

   Having settled down with Unlimited Entertainment, he was browsing the promotional documents sent by Director Lian while talking with him.

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

  Meng Shu spoke in a flat tone.

   From his mobile phone, a familiar female voice came out.

  [Mr. Meng, you can consider doing this. After all, your game topic is quite high, so it can’t just fade away. We will also help you stir up the topic. ]

  Meng Shu shook his head when he heard this.

“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.”

[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.”

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

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

   After a few seconds, he recovered and responded.

  [All right 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. ]

  Meng Shu smiled when he heard this.

   “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.”

   “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.”

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

  [Okay Mr. Meng, I understand, then we just need to get ready and wait for your game. By the way, the trademark assignment is already under application. 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. ]

   “Is there a development budget? Just tell me how to apply. Oh yes, there is another question.”

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

  [What’s wrong, Mr. Meng? ]

  Meng Shu coughed twice, and narrated the thoughts in his mind just now.

   “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.”

“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?”

   “I don’t want foreign players to only know about the VR version. I want to let the original version of “Dark Forest” lead a wave to the VR version at the last moment.”

   After hearing this, Director Lian was startled for a moment, and then asked softly.

  [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 okay.”

  Meng Shu smiled, his 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 directly with the VR version, although there will be no barriers, but in terms of perception, it should be reduced. A lot, especially the huge content gap between the two versions of the game.”

   “Do as I said, the multi-language is not to cut leeks, but to build a fan base for the VR version, a base for foreign players.”
