In the conference room of NetOne Game Company, after a day of rushing work, the evaluation results for the PC version of "Wild Gods" have come out. At this time, the evaluators are reporting to their superiors.
"In terms of production, Hongxin Games' production this time is still very sophisticated, and the level is much higher than ours."
"But in terms of market satisfaction, it's not ideal."
"Tell me, why is this?" someone asked.
"The so-called success is Xiaohe, and failure is Xiaohe. Precisely because they make it so well, the computer hardware conditions required to run the game are also very high. In terms of current domestic user configurations, most models cannot operate normally. This limits the promotion of their games, and no matter how well they are produced, they cannot become popular.”
After the commentator finished speaking, the management of NetOne Games couldn't help but have a smile on their face.
The manager of the marketing department said: "They pursue quality too much and ignore market acceptance. They are destined to only make niche games! This is also the reason why many foreign games cannot be popular in China. This trick of Hongxin Games It sucks!”
Someone asked: "Didn't they say in the announcement that it can be solved?"
"That's just an announcement." The technical department said, "To really solve it, they have to lower their game level. In that case, they will have no advantage at all, and a lot of research funds will be wasted."
"As for the game accelerator they said, it's a joke!"
"We at NetOne also have our own game accelerator. Its principle is nothing more than using VPN technology to virtually dial up, allowing telecom, China Netcom, Education Network and other operator networks to smoothly access each other, and even proxy foreign servers."
"This technology has almost no use in solving the problem of the PC version of the game "Wild Gods"."
The manager of the technical department joked: "Unless their accelerator can upgrade the user's computer hardware, you will have to turn on an extra accelerator when playing games, and the more you add, the more lag it will get!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.
…
The same report was received in Penguin Games.
"Hongxin is still too young!" A senior executive laughed, "Foreign game design and operation methods are not applicable in China."
"It's just like the charging model. Most foreign games charge fees. But in our country, we have free games. We use value-added services to make money, which makes us more profitable."
“It’s better this way,” said another. “They want to go the high-end route, so we’ll go the mass route.”
"Releasing the PC version of our game in advance to seize the market. For a competitive game, it will not work if it only appeals to a niche audience. Once the mass players have entered our game, they will no longer be competitive."
At Hongxin Game Company, the mood of employees is not optimistic, especially those responsible for the PC business of "Wild God of War". The more popular the game, the higher their bonus commission, and vice versa.
Now that it has been released for internal testing, the response is not very good, and everyone is thinking about solutions.
"How about changing the game? It's almost like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds." Zhu An suggested.
"There's no rush." Lu Zixin said calmly, "The official version will be released after the online game accelerator is perfected. It can also have the effect of diverting traffic."
In fact, not only Zhu An, but also Liu Tong, Liang Song and other senior executives of Hongxin had raised this issue with Lu Zixin, but he suppressed them all.
Before the equipment arrived, it was difficult for Lu Zixin to tell them anything. The purpose of internal testing is only to collect data so that the cloud host can have an analysis basis when assisting in calculations.
The popularity of the internal beta of the PC version of "Wild Gods" quickly subsided, because even if they obtained the qualifications for the internal beta, more than half of the players still did not have matching hardware devices to play the game.
Players who have enough conditions to experience the game will naturally applaud. Some people even configure high-performance computers just to play this game.
A few days later, Lu Zixin finally got a reply from the Red Queen.
In the Wanjie Technology chat group, as soon as the red queen came online, she hurriedly went offline again, leaving a red envelope.
Lu Zixin clicked on the red envelope, and the group prompted: "Congratulations on receiving a red envelope from the Red Queen, a 'Cloud Computing' supercomputer, a 'Cloud Computing' auxiliary program, and a set of special emoticons made by the Red Queen."
When he saw the first two, Lu Zi felt happy. When he saw the last one, he suddenly became confused.
"Special emoticon pack? Why are you giving me this?" He clicked on the special emoticon pack and saw tens of thousands of different types of emoticon pictures inside.
There is also a message from the popular queen under the emoticon: "Group leader, you have too few pictures to fight me. I give these to you. (Emoji: How lonely it is to be invincible)"
Lu Zixin almost wanted to vomit blood. He didn't expect that he would be despised by the Red Queen! We need to find an opportunity for her to try out the authority dog—no, it’s the power of the group leader!
Putting all this behind his mind, Lu Zixin began to work on the server. This cloud computing supercomputer was also produced by the umbrella company, and Lu Zixin used some means to "reasonably" transport it to the company.
Lu Zixin had to do everything himself, such as laying equipment and matching software. He was able to do this only after being taught computer skills by the Red Queen.
The company's technical personnel can only play a supporting role.
As long as the deployment of the cloud host is completed and the online game accelerator is online, the problem of the PC version of "Wild God of War" will no longer be a problem. Moreover, the online game accelerator itself is a killer. If operated properly, Hongxin Games’ position in the online game industry will be unshakable!
While Hongxin Games was still busy developing an online game accelerator, Penguin Games couldn't wait to take action.
Penguin News: "Penguin Agent, the official version of the Chinese PC version of "PUBG: Battle Royale" is released!"
"In order to give Chinese players the best gaming experience, Penguin has teamed up with PUBG (Blue Hole) Company to provide technical support such as network optimization, server expansion, and cheating attacks for "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" to create a positive and positive game. Atmosphere.”
…
Following Penguin News, other online media also forwarded or analyzed the news.
Phoenix Technology News: "First there is steam, then there is heaven, and Father Penguin is still ahead! Penguin Games officially releases the Chinese version of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Battle Royale", and the 'Chicken Eating' is coming!"
Game Information Network: ""League of Legends" is in danger. The most popular competitive online game at the moment is finally launched in the national server!"
Weibo headline: "Penguin Chicken Online Game Released!"
Zhihu: “Will the chicken-eating online game Penguin released today become a hit?”
Tieba: "Click to download Penguin Eating Chicken and get a luxurious outfit for free!"
On that day, the online media was filled with news about the Penguin Chicken game, which showed Penguin's online publicity capabilities.
On that day, the number of downloads of the PC version of the Penguin Chicken game was overwhelming. People playing the Penguin Chicken game could be seen everywhere in Internet cafes and Internet cafes across the country.
Some players who turned to mobile chicken games because they couldn't play online games also switched to playing chicken games on the computer.
Players who were originally playing online games on foreign servers through accelerators have also returned to the official version of the Chinese server, making the game's popularity even higher.
The layout of Penguin Game does not stop there. Major live broadcast platforms, including Penguin Live, Huya, Douyu, Panda, etc., have all set up live broadcast channels for this game, and some high-traffic anchors cooperate with the live broadcast promotion.
In a short period of time, Penguin has dominated the PC version of the chicken game. As for "Wild Gods", the most popular mobile game, the PC version is still in internal testing and has not been released to the public.
Behind the silence of Hongxin Games, there is a big explosion brewing!
