[Good luck, let’s eat chicken tonight!]
[Number of eliminated players: 12.]
Yunmeng Building.
Hao Yun, sitting in front of the computer, started the next game with a relaxed expression. As one of the designers of the game, today is the first day the game is launched, and he has to experience it personally.
After watching the entire game standing behind Hao Yun, Li Zongzheng and Du Ziteng sighed in unison.
"Niubi!"
"Fuck, 12!"
There are a total of one hundred players in one game.
It's hard enough to make it all the way to the finals, let alone eliminate 12% of the players in one game. Yunmeng Games had previously organized an internal competition among employees. In order to test possible bugs in the game, Li Zongzheng clearly remembers that he became a box without eliminating anyone. The employee with the largest number of eliminated people was also knocked down. Five of them, and three of them were killed when they first landed.
Under normal circumstances, you may not encounter more than ten people in a game.
Unless you are very familiar with the map, you will know where the hot spots are as soon as you see the poison circle.
This is no longer very strong, but extremely strong!
Hearing the two people's flattery, Hao Yun smiled and said modestly.
"It's normal. The server has only been open for a few hours now. Most people are not even familiar with the map. It won't be that simple in a few days."
After all, he had one or two thousand hours in his previous life. He could run down an 8X8 map with his eyes closed. It was more than enough to bully a rookie who had less than ten hours.
Currently, the game only has an island map. In the future release plan, there will be a larger desert, a slightly smaller tropical rainforest and snow, as well as more guns, accessories and vehicles.
But maintaining these classic gameplay is enough at this stage.
For players in this world, the battle royale gameplay is still a very new concept. Before expanding into more content, they must first become familiar with this gameplay as soon as possible.
Du Ziteng suggested.
"Boss, just start a live broadcast, I bet it will be popular!"
Li Zongzheng also nodded excitedly.
"Yeah... your marksmanship is so awesome!"
"What kind of live broadcast? Don't start it. I'm not interested." Hao Yun, who had already started the next round, shook his head and continued, "I won't play another two rounds. It's getting late. Except for those on duty today, there are ten other people." Finish work on time at two o'clock... By the way, Zhang Ding, how many people are online now?"
"It's already 11:20... The number of people online is still above 2 million," Zhang Ding's voice trembled with excitement as he continued, "Of the 2.17 million players who pre-ordered the game, there are only less than 3,000 of them. Requested a refund.”
Based on the price of a game of 98 yuan, and 2.17 million pre-order players, pre-orders alone have brought more than 200 million yuan in operating income to Yunmeng Games.
And judging from the current popularity, two million players are far from reaching the bottleneck of this game. This is only the first day, and "eating chicken" figures have appeared on many live broadcast platforms.
Looking at the growing data on the screen, Li Zongzheng suddenly spoke.
"I just heard someone from the World of Warcraft project team say that the number of people online in World of Warcraft during the evening peak period was 11.4% less than yesterday... Mr. Hao, do you think this will affect the popularity of our World of Warcraft?"
Hao Yun thought for a while and said.
"There may be an impact in the short term, but the long-term impact is not significant. World of Warcraft belongs to the MMORPG type, and the player groups targeted by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds are not highly overlapped. The latter attracts more FPS players and competitive players. If we really want to say it has an impact, , the impact on Warcraft will be greater."
At present, the number of people online at the same time for Warcraft is probably ranked third in the creative workshop, and the second place has been replaced by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. As for the first place, World of Warcraft is still far ahead.
Although as Li Zongzheng said, some World of Warcraft players are attracted to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, but compared to the size of World of Warcraft, these players are actually not many.
Not to mention that the two themselves are not in conflict.
Players who play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds may also be players of World of Warcraft, and are more likely to have played Warcraft.
In short, as long as you download the Creative Workshop, you are a potential customer of Yunmeng Game. Every time he thinks about this, Hao Yun admires his decision to establish an independent game platform.
In the short term, it does reduce a certain amount of income. Yunmeng Games' works cannot be exposed on larger platforms, but in the long term, it not only saves channel fees, but also cultivates players into fans.
No matter how you look at it, it’s all earned with blood!
Looking at the great situation, Du Ziteng said with emotion.
"I bet that after tonight there will be a bunch of Internet companies holding internal meetings to discuss FPS game development projects."
Li Zongzheng said jokingly.
"Does that need to be said? There's no need to wait until tomorrow. Our old enemies will be in meetings all night long. I'm afraid we won't even get the version number of the new game by tomorrow."
Liu Ye said with a smile.
"The spring of FPS is coming."
"It's long overdue."
Hao Yun never believed that FPS was a category without a future.
The reason why Liangcheng is like this is not because players don't like to play, but simply because the video game industry in this world started too late and has not experienced enough time to settle.
Coupled with the old tradition of domestic Internet companies following suit, this game type that focuses on details and gameplay has never received fresh blood input, which ultimately led to the current situation.
As for foreign game companies
The electronics industry itself was a step behind, and the video game industry started even later.
So far, both sides of the Atlantic are still exporting culture, and the more famous ones are only some foundries and agents, and they have never had a sense of existence.
…
It was twelve o'clock that evening.
Most of the lights in Yunmeng Building have been extinguished. Only a few offices have lights on, and there are still people staying at their posts.
Since tomorrow is Saturday, there is no need to get up early to go to work. Therefore, even at this point, the number of online players in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is still hovering near the peak, with no sign of weakening.
On major live broadcast platforms, there are more and more anchors broadcasting chicken games. Under the effect of traffic siphoning, even those anchors whose live broadcast content and games have nothing to do with each other have also come to join in the fun.
Not just live broadcast platforms, but also major game forums.
The Game Island Forum had proposed the game as early as when the trailer for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was released. Just an hour after the game was launched, the intensity of discussion put the entire new forum at the top of the popularity list, even surpassing Game Island. The most active section of the forum - World of Warcraft.
Not only game forums, but also scarves have been affected.
The word "eating chicken" was even trending on the scarf trend!
[What does eating chicken mean?]
[The chicken is so cute, why should you eat it?]
[What kind of hot search is this? Did you buy it? !]
[It seems to be a very popular game... It is produced by Yunmeng Game, which dominated the hot search list some time ago.]
[Is it another game designed by Mr. Hao?]
[Hmm... I see a lot of anchors are playing.]
After seeing this hot search, many melon-eating people who didn't know the truth thought they were talking about some kind of food at first, but later they discovered that it was a game that had just been launched not long ago.
And after learning that this game was designed by Mr. Hao of Yunmeng Group, these melon-eaters were even more surprised.
If I remember correctly, this guy was trending just a while ago because of the Warcraft Music Festival and an Undead Overture, and he was trending again just a few days ago.
Good guy.
This scarf is almost his own!
