Chapter 9 The game is online
Why does Lin Muchen dare to build a shopping mall system?
Because "Gun Fighting Heroes" is a free game! Players can come in and play without spending money. They can buy it if they want to buy it, and they can't buy it if they don't want to. Even if many good things have to be paid for, the most they can say is "a money-making game" and then
Uninstall and retreat.
What about "Legend of the Gun God"? It still continues the buyout system, and the price is not low.
Two hundred and thirty yuan.
If you add a mall system at this time, what will the players think?
I spent a lot of money on tickets, why should I spend money on things in the game?
The consequences of this are by no means as simple as "quitting". The game designer himself will be hanged on the Internet and scolded for eighteen generations.
As for the copying mode, it’s even more ridiculous.
A series of changes made in "Gun Fighting Heroes" are all aimed at catering to recreational players, that is, the group of people who don't take competitiveness too seriously.
However, the slogan of "Legend of Gunslinger" from beginning to end has been to "compare with "Force of War"". As a result, the group of competitive players entered the game with full expectations, but found that the entertainment mode accounted for half of the game, and even the firearms had to be unlocked for money.<
/p>
Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
Regardless of whether the positioning of the game itself is consistent, copying what is popular and blindly pursuing traffic is a taboo in making games. Lin Muchen does not believe that he does not understand this.
To be honest, he suspected that Yang Tong, a graduate of a prestigious university, had spent all four years studying in a dog's belly.
......
The popularity of ghost mode continues to ferment on the Internet, and even some well-known bloggers and passers-by who do not play online games are attracted to it.
Taking advantage of this wave of traffic, Lin Muchen released the final promotional video of the game at noon on the 30th.
The confrontation between the lurkers and the defenders in the promotional video, the fleeting beautiful images, the exciting mixed editing of real-machine demonstrations, and the exciting music that hit the spot, gave many players goosebumps after watching it.
Before the reservation event ended that night, the number of reservations increased significantly, exceeding 30,000.
The next day, Lin Muchen got up early, came to the company in advance, and personally checked every link, so that there would be no accidents when the game was launched.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the server of "Gun Fighting Heroes" will be launched on time!
Lin Muchen held his breath, the control background refreshed every few seconds, and stared at the numbers in the upper right corner.
The studio members gathered behind him, many of them clenched their fists and looked nervous.
Today is the first day of the holiday. Logically speaking, it should be the time when there are the most players. If the number of online players collapses, it will basically declare that their efforts over the past month have been in vain, and there is no need to save the game.
However, is this possible?
The number representing the number of people online in real time continued to rise, and it exceeded the 10,000 mark before anyone could react.
Refresh it again and the number becomes.
"I'll go..." Wu Weiming swallowed, "Three minutes..."
Everyone else looked at the lower right corner of the screen in unison.
9:03.
A programmer murmured to himself: "How long did it take for "Force of War" to break through 15,000 simultaneous online games?"
Wu Weiming's eyelids twitched: "It seems like twenty-four hours..."
Silence, deathly silence.
Lin Muchen exhaled slowly, pushed away the mouse, and his tense face finally relaxed.
He turned to look at everyone who was stunned, and patted everyone on the arm: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and get to work, check if there are any bugs or game crashes, I'm treating you tonight!"
The programmers glanced at each other, hugged Lin Muchen in unison, and cheered loudly.
"We succeeded!!!!!"
The sound penetrated the wall and entered the ears of Tong Hao who happened to be passing by.
He frowned and cursed in a low voice: "How unbecoming is it to yell and scream in the company?"
The assistant next to him lowered his head, pretending he didn't hear.
Tong Hao seemed to have thought of something: "Today is the day when "Gun Fighting Heroes" will be launched?"
The little assistant rolled her eyes secretly, thinking, isn't that why you came to the company on National Day? You even called her over with a phone call, so you asked knowingly, right?
Although she thought so in her heart, the assistant still replied respectfully: "Yes."
Tong Hao sneered: "It sounds like they had a good number of online players on the first day? Unfortunately, the success of the game still depends on the revenue. Want to use free games to recoup the cost? Just daydream about it."
The assistant shrank her neck.
This tone makes my teeth so sore that I feel like falling out.
......
Shi Ming is the first batch of players to enter the game.
The novice tutorial is very simple, mainly to let players who are not familiar with FPS understand the function of each button.
But for veteran players of "Force of War", this kind of novice tutorial seems a bit redundant.
It took three minutes to clear the novice tutorial. After returning to the main page, another part of the guide popped up.
"The recharge button is here, the mall location is here..."
Shi Ming's face looked a little weird.
Good guy, it takes three minutes to get familiar with the novice tutorial, and in the fourth minute it starts teaching players how to recharge money, right?
He shook his head, quickly skipped this tutorial, opened the warehouse, and equipped the novice weapons M16 and AWP.
"No, you can only use two backpacks? Do you need to charge money to unlock more backpacks?"
"You can also equip one throwing object. Do you have to charge money if you want to unlock all three columns?"
Shi Ming was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the gold points in the game were set up in such detail.
"Forget it, I don't have many weapons. A rifle and a sniper rifle are enough... I have to buy the projectiles in the game, so I won't use them for the time being."
Shi Ming tried hard to convince himself, then selected "Team Competition" and started the matching game.
It only took three or four seconds before the match was successful.
Entering the game, Shi Ming immediately jumped into the battle.
Going out from the right side of the resurrection point, the defender's figure flashed past, and he immediately rushed over with a gun.
Turning the corner, the defender was shooting at others, but he was not found.
"Good opportunity!"
Shi Ming immediately clicked the mouse, and the M16 spit out flames, three bullets spurted out, and then it misfired.
"Eh?"
He was stunned, and then he realized that this broken gun was a semi-automatic rifle!
Unfortunately, it was too late. The enemy had already discovered him and took him away with a headshot.
Shi Ming: "..."
Okay, blame him for not reading the introduction to firearms.
After resurrecting, Shi Ming switched his backpack, took out his AWP, and stood at the left position to set up a sniper.
An enemy suddenly jumped out from the right side of the container, startling him so much that he subconsciously fired and the kill icon lit up.
"NICE!"
Shi Ming, who had scored the first kill, was so excited that he was just about to continue firing the frame gun, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the weapon dropped by the enemy after death, and couldn't help but stop.
"Is this an M4A1? I remember there is no such gun in the warehouse..."
He couldn't hold back his curiosity, threw away the AWP, picked up the M4 and fired several shots at the wooden box in front of him.
"The sound is so nice!"
Before he finished speaking, an icon that penetrated a humanoid target suddenly popped up at the bottom of the screen.
Chapter completed!
