This Online Game Developer is Definitely Problematic

A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...

Chapter 139 Thirty-two Strong

Chapter 139 Top 32

The time came to January 10th.

After intense preparations.

The preliminaries officially began.

Because there are too many participating teams and the schedule is too tight, there is no live broadcast for the preliminaries.

All participating teams only need to follow the system instructions to start the game.

However, their game recordings will be saved. If there are objections or if they think the other party has problems, they can make a complaint and Linmu Studio will handle it. They can also choose to upload their own game recordings.

This situation of not broadcasting live will continue until the top 32 are decided.

After the top 32,

the game will be broadcast live on the client and live broadcast website until the top 8 are decided.

This is the result of Lin Yao's compromise. It is

too difficult to broadcast live throughout the whole process, and the time is too tight, but it is not possible to not broadcast live at all. The audience must have an idea of ​​the offline participating teams, otherwise who will go to watch offline.

Before the start of the preliminaries,

"Breakout" carried out the last update before the game.

This update mainly adds map elements and the sticker system that players are most interested in.

The increase in map elements is actually the advertisement of graphics cards and events, in order to attract players to buy graphics cards and pay attention to events.

The sticker system is to give players an idea.

So everyone will get a copy of the stickers this time.

During the competition, all online players will get a platinum sticker of the "Breakout Challenge".

...

"It would be nice if this sticker was my signature."

In a small Internet cafe in a southern city.

Zhou Ren looked at the platinum sticker of the "Breakout Challenge" on his gun with some yearning.

"Come on, let's talk about it after we win."

Luo Fu also pressed the button to view the guns and looked at the stickers on his gun, but he was not polite.

"We will definitely win! We have to win to the end." The more Zhou Ren looked at the stickers, the more satisfied he was, and the more motivated he was.

After all, the opportunity was right in front of him.

"When does our first game start?"

Chen Xi bit a spicy bar and suddenly interrupted, asking vaguely.

"Two o'clock in the afternoon." Luo Fu replied.

...

"When does our game start?"

At the same time.

In the dormitory of a university in the Land of Abundance.

Lu Tai bit his toothbrush and also yelled.

"Three o'clock in the afternoon, don't worry, I didn't sleep late, and everyone's watch is fine."

Qi Xiao said unhappily: "How many times have you asked?"

"I'm worried! What if I miss it? I'm a man who wants to win the championship."

Lu Tai rinsed his mouth and his voice became louder.

"Brush your teeth before you talk."

Qi Xiao said helplessly: "There are no other champions, let's be realistic."

"Then set a small goal."

Another roommate Chen Yi said: "Let's get into the top eight first!"

Qi Xiao: "..."

Is this a small goal?

...

The preliminaries began in batches.

The entire schedule will last until mid-January.

Almost every day, there are a lot of games going on.

But players can't see it for the time being, which makes many players itchy. Most of the masters around them have participated in the competition, but they can't watch it. They are very dissatisfied and began to ask Linmu Studio to start live broadcasting.

But Lin Yao really has no way. With so many games, the entire studio can't watch them all, and they can't live broadcast them all, and there is not enough time.

Just dealing with complaints, Linmu Studio is a little too busy.

She could only encourage the participating teams to upload their own game videos so that the players could enjoy it.

Then Lin Yao would also find some games that looked more intense and then slice them up for release.

You know what, this worked pretty well.

Many teams were willing to share their game videos, especially the winning teams.

In addition to the marketing in the early stages of the Breakout Challenge and the launch of the sticker system, the Breakout Challenge had already attracted a lot of attention. The videos of these teams had achieved a good number of views, and with the help of Linmu Studio...

In the end, more and more teams were willing to upload their own game videos.

And when the time came to mid-January.

After the top 32 teams were decided.

These 32 teams had almost all accumulated some popularity, which made the live broadcast much smoother.

After a long wait, the audience finally waited for the live broadcast of Linmu Studio.

The top 32, the first opening match.

One of the teams was the currently most popular NO.1 team.

And this game.

Not only the audience was watching, but the people in Linmu Studio... were also watching.

"Very strong."

A large group of people from Linmu Studio gathered in the conference room, looking at the 40-inch display screen in front of them.

Zhu Nianqiao crossed his arms and gave a pretentious evaluation.

"Of course, this is the most popular team at the moment. I've watched the videos they uploaded. Their fighting styles are very diverse, and all of them are gun-slinging monsters. They're very entertaining to watch."

Nie Hui, the person in charge of the event, said something.

"He still doesn't keep his gun when there's only one person left... What the hell!? That's awesome!"

Qi Jianhua was standing in a corner, and happened to see the end of the game with only one person left in NO.1, and wanted to express his opinion.

But the next second,

he saw the only person left in NO.1 suddenly stand up from behind the box at point B, and shoot to the left, killing an opponent, then move the gun sideways, squat for a while, then stand up, and shoot to death another enemy at point B, turning 3V1 into 1V1. He

was so shocked that he shouted "Awesome".

Even the veritable game maker was shocked...

Of course, it could also be that he was a badass... This operation was really too awesome for him.

"That's right. This player with the ID FFF is very good at playing the endgame, which really attracts fans."

Nie Hui smiled and said again: "If they can make it to the quarterfinals and perform stably, we can try to create momentum. The appearance of well-known players in the game is very beneficial. In addition to this team, there is another team that is also very interesting. Their team name is FEIREN, which should be pinyin. They are different from NO.1. NO.1 plays steadily and is good at the endgame, while FEIREN is a reckless man. Five people often rush to a point together, looking indifferent to life and death and fighting if they don't agree. They are not afraid of people at all when they meet them. There is only one word, fight! It is also very entertaining."

He said this while looking at Lin Yao.

Lin Yao was also watching the game. Hearing this, he did not turn around, but paid attention to the game screen while asking: "Is it the team that made the famous overseas club team dizzy?"

"Yes." Nie Hui couldn't help but smile.

When the people in the conference room heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

In this breakout qualifier, all the overseas players finally arrived on time, but not all of them made it to the top 32. Many of them were eliminated in the top 64, and only five teams were shortlisted in the end.

"Then let's focus on these two teams."

Lin Yao thought for a while: "If they make it to the top eight, we can create momentum, but don't be too outrageous. Everything should be said after the game, otherwise the players will be embarrassed, and we will be embarrassed too."

"Understood." Nie Hui nodded.

"Lin Yao!"

At this time.

Zhong Xiu hurriedly pushed the door outside the conference room and shouted excitedly, directly attracting the attention of everyone in the conference room.

Zhong Xiu didn't mind, and said excitedly: "It exploded! The popularity of the live broadcast room exploded! According to the statistics from the backstage, there were nearly one million people watching the first game!"

When the people in the conference room heard this, they were all stunned and stunned.

"...OK."

After a long time.

Lin Yao was the first to react, nodded, and whispered: "Then we will charge for the next broadcast of the game!"

Others: "..."

This is outrageous. Word obviously has automatic saving and modification records, but there is no historical version. There is a version for last night and the afternoon version, but there is no version for noon. Everything I wrote at noon is reimbursed. My mentality is directly exploded. Ah... I will be a dog if I use WORD again in the future. I had the same problem last time. There is really something wrong with OneDrive.
