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 300 Internet Cafe

Chapter 300 Internet Cafes

Internet cafe privileges and the popularity of "Heroes" itself.

The promotional pictures of the game "Heroes" appeared outside the windows of Internet cafes everywhere.

Such large-scale publicity and the excellent quality and unique gameplay of the game complement each other, and ultimately created a terrifying communication effect...

When Lin Yao traveled through time in her previous life, Internet cafes had already declined.

Many people may be unfamiliar with this scene.

But she herself is not unfamiliar.

When most people in an entire Internet cafe are playing the same game, the powerful publicity effect.

Because of this, she herself played a lot of games. When

online games were not popular. She

mainly played CS1.6 and was pulled to play by people in the same Internet cafe.

When she started to get in touch with the Internet, the most popular game at that time was Fantasy Westward Journey, and seeing the popularity of turn-based games, she made a differentiated game.

She saw others playing, so she played it herself.

However, because Fantasy Westward Journey is a point card system.

She was very poor at the time, and it was not convenient to recharge, so she had to give up...

Then it was DNF.

At that time, she mainly saw the standing picture of the awakening skills in this game, and thought it was too cool, so she also played it.

At that time, her dream was to reach the level of awakening.

During the game, she even complained that the fatigue system of this game was simply sick, and it was exhausted in one night.

However, in the end, Lin Yao still failed to play awakening.

The main reason was that the network environment of this game was really bad at that time. It would be disconnected from time to time, and the network connection would be interrupted.

In addition, there was a period of time when this game was very chaotic.

There were plug-ins everywhere.

Lin Yao remembered that during that period, there was a plug-in that could directly release the skills of the sword soul in full screen, and then kill the whole map in seconds.

And no one cared at all, and the whole Internet cafe was full of players using plug-ins.

She didn't like this shortcut, so she gave up.

But the art of DNF is really amazing.

It was because of this game that she became interested in art.

Then.

The game she played was CF.

But he was really bad, because he couldn't experience the fun of other modes, he could only play biochemical, and he could only play one map of biochemical pyramid...

Finally.

It was League of Legends.

The reason why it is not DOTA but League of Legends.

It was because Dota was too difficult. At the beginning, she could only play a centaur chieftain in Dota, and only knew one move, Charge and Charge...

League of Legends was a little easier, and there were too many people playing in Internet cafes at that time.   Of

course,

she was not very good at this game in the end, and she was always silver... After Yasuo came out, she was annoyed by the opponent's E E because she couldn't beat him, and she didn't know how to play, so she gave up in anger. After that,   her Internet cafe era ended.   She started working on her own, and gradually   she couldn't play many games, especially online games that require long-term operation. She started playing single-player games that took relatively less time.   It was also at that time that   she came into contact with more games.   Her first single-player game was Left 4 Dead 2, which was very cheaply discounted .   This has also become one of the most profound single-player games in her memory... or a buy-to-play game.   It was mainly because the heavy rain and gust level left a deep impression on her.   The heavy rain kept falling.   In the extremely low visibility situation, zombies kept rushing in.   The atmosphere was really good.   It was then that she realized that there were not only online games, but also this kind of game.   However,   even though Lin Yao almost never played online games later,   she would still pay attention to the online games she had played.   She knew that CS1.6 had become CSGO, and not many people were willing to play the simple CS1.6.   She knew that Fantasy Westward Journey had changed several planners, and each generation was not as good as the previous one, and was scolded by players.   She knew that the big transfer version of DNF had directly brought about earth-shaking changes to the entire game. The familiar maps were all changed, and now the levels were all opened to level 100.   She knew that dota had become dota2. Although many battle platforms can still play the original dota map, few people play it.   She also knew that League of Legends has been frequently revised. The once simple game, the imitator of dota, has become one of the most successful online games in the world.   There are really too many changes.   She sometimes misses it.   This is the nostalgia at work.   She also knows that online games are just waiting to die if they just stick to the status quo.   But she still can't help missing it.   And the reason why she misses it is because she played these games herself.   Why do you play them?   Or because I saw others playing in the Internet cafe...   and the current "Hero" is probably going through this stage.   Many people are like Lin Yao.   They saw others playing "Hero" in the Internet cafe and went to play it.   As for the future,   I don't know...

At present,

the data of "Hero" continues to improve, and it continues to attract new players.

In a very short period of time, it has become the online game with the most online players!

Among these new players, not only are there players who have never played online games, but many players who play other games will also come to play.

And this is all thanks to the type of game "Hero", which does not require long-term investment and can be played at any time.

And in each game, all players are on the same starting line.

The only difference is the player's personal strength.

This directly changes the pattern of online games.

Because this means that even if you don't invest any time in this game and don't pursue personal strength, you can play a game whenever you think of it.

You can play at any time.

The third week of the early access of "Hero".

The second week of the launch of the Internet cafe privilege system.

Guangzheng, the person in charge of the project, has to report good news to Lin Yao every day.

How many people have been online and how many registered people have been reached.

In the end, he even became numb.

Because the number of online and registered people is increasing every day.

In the end, he simply stopped reporting and planned to tell Lin Yao after a weekly summary.

And Lin Yao listened to the data changes for a week.

I am also a little numb...

Before the holiday on Friday, she took Miss Mu out of Linmu Studio.

"Lin Yao, where are we going?"

Mu Wanqing took Lin Yao's arm, feeling a little strange.

It's working hours.

If Lin Yao doesn't have something important, she usually won't leave the studio.

Because there are a lot of things to do in the studio.

"Go to the Internet cafe."

Lin Yao turned her head, looked at Mu Wanqing, and smiled brightly at her.

Mu Wanqing: "Ah?"

Lin Yao explained: "Guangzheng reported the data for a week, and the increase is indeed exaggerated. I want to see the situation of the game with my own eyes."

"Do you think the data may be inflated?"

Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice.

"No."

Lin Yao shook her head gently: "I'm just a little curious, and I'm going to reminisce by the way."

"Reminisce..."

Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao, who was younger than herself and looked like a girl, with a strange expression.

"What? Why are you looking at me? Can't you miss someone just because you are young?"

Lin Yao immediately guessed what the black-stockinged and glasses-wearing girl next to her was thinking, and glared at her.
