Chapter 152 I don’t want to see you anymore…
A few days later,
This wave of Valentine's Day activities has completely pushed "More Than Sunny Days" to the forefront.
Not only is the gaming community exploding, but the traffic of the DeepBlue platform itself is also increasing!
In just a few days, the number of daily active users on the DeepBlue platform has tripled.
The traffic increased immediately!
The rating of "More Than Sunny Days" has been rising and has reached 4.2 points.
Although there are still some negative reviews, under the impact of a large number of positive reviews,
It's rising like crazy,
A text game that relies on players to co-create, share emotions, and match up to find a partner.
Directly launched a set of social anxiety and social interaction combination punches!
Some players even lamented in the comment section:
"I was playing a text dating game and ended up matching with someone in real life. We've been together for three days now."
"The player-generated plots are so fun! I love the one where the game starts with a bowl!"
"I was wrong about you before, Jingyue! I'm going to change the rating right now. You've already sent me your girlfriend, and I'm actually asking so much from you!"
“…”
At 10 am on February 20, Jingyue officially resumed work.
At the company entrance, Lu Ming just stepped through the door.
The office is brightly lit.
He had just walked into the hall and hadn't even sat down when Zhou Bowen rushed out, his face full of excitement:
"Mr. Lu!"
"You're back?!"
Lu Ming was stunned.
“What’s wrong?”
“We…are famous!!”
"I know it's popular! Didn't we talk on the phone before?"
Lu Ming lifted his sleeves, looking nonchalant.
Zhou Bowen opened his mouth and said two words,
“It exploded!”
After saying that, he handed over the tablet in his hand.
Lu Ming looked down and saw the sales statistics in the system background. There were several lines of large words:
【More than just sunny days】
Cumulative sales: 1,021,344 copies
Current online users: 321,089
[Number of comments and interactions: 11,457,339]
Lu Ming: “…”
Did you pick up the right tablet?
The sales have exceeded one million?
So fast?
"You...you said this was a game you made?"
"It's the game we made!"
Zhou Bowen repeated with a pious look on his face,
"Not only has the total number of downloads exceeded one million, but even the DeepBlue platform is about to burst under our control."
"Mr. Lu, your previous suggestion was so good!"
"Our team took advantage of this trend and expanded the self-made plot function, building a community channel, comic space and creation submission portal."
"In just these few days, the number of submissions has exceeded 20,000! More than 800 have received over 100 likes! And there are also around 100 with over 1,000 likes!"
"There's even a #MoreThanSunnyDaysSingles check-in wall on the DeepBlue forum right now, and new people are joining every day!"
"We've even started receiving invitations to collaborate with external partners! Including..."
“Stop, stop, stop.”
Lu Ming waved his hands and leaned back in his chair with a headache.
"You have a lot of information...
"Let me put it into context. Right now, I'm out for the Lunar New Year, and this game has gone from being a household name to a go-to for finding a partner, and it's even surpassed a million in sales??"
"Besides, what kind of community game did you come up with?"
"Ahahaha, that's right... Mr. Lu, it's all your advice."
Zhou Bowen scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Suggestions? What suggestions did I make?"
Lu Ming rubbed his brows while looking at the screen full of comments, his mind still in shock.
Rating 4.2.
The first hot comment is a rustic story about finding a partner.
The first on the hot word list is "tacit match", and the second is "falling into the prosperous Tang Dynasty".
Can you believe it?
After the New Year, this thing will become the... facade of the Deep Blue Platform!
Lu Ming roared in his heart.
On the other side, Zhou Bowen already had a heroic smile on his face and continued to talk:
"Mr. Lu, have you forgotten? Didn't you say before..."
"Is it possible to optimize the player's story?"
“Now the guidance is pretty good!”
"We were so shocked when we heard it that we even worked overtime at the company for a long time!"
"It's okay! I'm glad I did it! Now the players are very satisfied. Not only has the game rating gone up, but the community is also active, and the DeepBlue platform has more users!"
"This wave is a win-win for all three!"
Lu Ming: “…”
He suddenly fell silent and thought for a while with his head down.
This guy has a weird imagination! This is so infuriating!
He really wants to go back to before the holidays!
Lu Ming's ears were buzzing. He looked down at the sales page, and a series of "999+ comments" filled the screen.
This game is now more popular than "Time Journey"!
Sure enough, as long as it involves social networking, this traffic is indispensable!
Chinese people love this so much!
On the other side, Zhou Bowen continued to talk:
"Mr. Lu, everyone's emotions are very stable now, and the project team's morale is very high."
“…”
Lu Ming leaned back in his chair, gritting his teeth.
"Wait a minute, you said before that you were working overtime?"
"Didn't I tell you to go back to work on the 20th?"
Zhou Bowen was stunned and blinked:
"Ah... Mr. Lu, we just came a little early..."
Knowing he was exposed, Zhou Bowen's voice became quieter and his smile was a little dry.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and tapped the table with his fingers.
"You've built a comics community, organized events, and even included your own story modules!"
"You call that, arriving a little early?"
Zhou Bowen swallowed his saliva and explained with difficulty:
"We...we just thought that since the heat was just right, we could just do it. Otherwise, if you weren't here, Mr. Lu, we wouldn't be able to seize the opportunity..."
"Are you afraid of missing out on things, so you go back to the company early to work overtime?"
"Uh-huh."
"Is the team still together?"
"……right."
"How many days in a row?"
"Seven days... well, not all seven days. Some people take turns taking breaks, and some go home for the New Year..."
"You're the only one who didn't reply, right?"
"Not really, my home is close..."
"Okay."
Lu Ming slammed the table and stood up.
Zhou Bowen shuddered and almost thought he was going to be scolded.
Then I heard Lu Ming say calmly:
"From today on, you are on mandatory leave."
"Bring your team with you!"
"No one is allowed to show up at the company before March."
Zhou Bowen's eyes widened: "Ah? Mr. Lu, this is not a good time to rest, I still have a lot..."
Lu Ming had no expression on his face.
"Nowadays, traffic, topics, and user activity are all rising, making it the easiest time to get carried away."
"The work is endless, you should take a good rest, we are not a wolf-like company!"
"After you receive the red envelope for starting work, take your people and leave!"
"I don't want to see you anymore..."
Lu Ming's last words were spoken in a very low voice, but they were very sincere.
Farewell Zhou Bowen,
Lu Ming sat alone in the office.
The staff's backstabs and the player's backstabs came too fast.
The ones who suffered the most losses were veteran employees?
This is too unreliable.
It seems that I have to take on the next project myself!
Fortunately, the incident broke out late this time, and I had already taken what I needed.
Even if there is good news, can we return what we have received to the system?
He had no expectations for February.
New year, new beginning!
Keep up the good work!
…
After a while, there was a light knock on the door.
“Knock, knock.”
Lu Minggang rubbed his brows, looked up and said, "Come in."
The door opened and it was Lin Xiaoxiao.
As soon as he came in, he smiled and said:
"Boss Lu! Good news, good news!"
Seeing her smug look, Lu Ming's eyelids twitched and he leaned back reflexively.
Is there really good news?
Immediately alert:
"What happened again?"
"Don't tell me there's another lecture going on!"
“We’ve just resumed work!”
Lin Xiaoxiao burst out laughing, walked to the desk and put the folder on the table:
"No, not this!"
"About 'Time Journey' and 'Out of Control Accompaniment'!"
Lu Ming panicked.
"What's wrong? Don't tell me that 'Time Journey' has also become a community model."
"No, Mr. Lu!"
"We just received an email from the organizer confirming that both games have been officially selected for the Game of the Year award!"
Lu Ming was stunned: "Which annual event?"
"This is the most influential CGA game selection event in China. Not only are we shortlisted, but we're also highly recommended!"
Lu Ming took the document and flipped through two pages. Sure enough, "Time Journey" and "Out of Control Accompaniment" were both shortlisted.
Moreover, the ranking is very high, so the chances of winning are great!
Lu Ming: “…”
There was a brief silence in the office.
