Chapter 202: Please be less praising, please be spicy!
"How can this game be so popular?"
In the Jingyue office, Lu Ming looked at the real-time online discussion with a depressed look on his face.
It was fine two days ago, with negative and positive reviews going back and forth, at least it was a 50-50 split.
Now, why can’t I hold on any longer?
This is a rout!
There are so many side effects, why is it called good?
Lu Ming pressed the mouse several times, trying to find something familiar in the comment section.
After searching for a long time, I finally found one with swear words.
"This game is addictive! I haven't slept in two days! Give me back my freedom!"
Later, there is a supplementary explanation.
"…but it was really fun, thanks to Whale Leap."
Lu Ming was speechless. He looked at the other person's game time. It was 126 hours. How could this person endure that?
His throat choked and he felt a little uncomfortable. What a sin!
What on earth is this guy Lao Zhou thinking?
soon,
Old Zhou walked in hurriedly, baring his teeth.
"Mr. Lu?"
"What's wrong? Is the new map not receiving good feedback? I just checked the backend, and the number of people online is already..."
"Wait a minute..."
“I’ve already looked at the data!”
Lu Ming's face was full of the meaning of "Listen to me first".
"I'm asking you!"
"Didn't we discuss before that we wouldn't let you come up with anything new?"
Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and answered confidently:
"Mr. Lu, didn't you say that already?"
“The map can be changed, the gameplay can be changed, and new avenues can be added.”
"The four core elements of chaos, unknown fusion, sudden death mechanism, and the only way to prove the truth remain unchanged!"
"I didn't move a single one!"
"Aren't the patterns I have now exactly the same as you requested?"
"My spiritual treasure fragments have many side effects, and they are similar to those set by Candao!"
"Look at the Chaos Bell. Once you hit it, the entire map knows where you are. And it has weights. This sounds exactly like what you meant!"
Lu Ming was sitting behind his workstation, his forehead twitching as he listened. Perhaps everyone's understanding was different!
Old Zhou didn't notice Lu Ming's expression and continued to report:
"Mr. Lu, I'm sure you've noticed that the special effects have been greatly improved in this update! This is all thanks to the Box Factory working overtime!"
"Most importantly, Mr. Lu, according to the current data, our game's revenue has exploded!"
When Lao Zhou said this, his face flushed and his voice couldn't help but rise an octave.
"The download volume of our game 'Mistakenly Path to the Wilderness' is about to break six million!"
"Of course, Mr. Lu, there are still some users whose refunds have not been deducted!"
Lu Ming paused, and hovered his mouse over the negative review section of the webpage.
Six million!
How long has the game been online?
And it's not a free game!
This download volume is undoubtedly the TOP1 this month!
Lu Ming did a simple calculation and found that if he calculated it based on seven million,
That’s 580 million!
Lu Ming was speechless. So what if it was 500 million? If it was 1%, then he would only get 5 million!
Lu Ming was silent for a while.
"Mr. Lu?" Old Zhou continued,
"We've really achieved some results this time. Not only have players complained less, but they've also started looking forward to our next round of updates."
"So, I've discussed this with Lin Zhi. They're planning to come up with some prehistoric plots for our game, which might spark some new buzz."
"Besides publicity and sales, we also need to focus on subsequent content development. I've already planned the design for the next batch of Candao!"
“…”
Lao Zhou has thought a lot and has even made plans for the next quarter.
The success of a game depends on the cooperation among all departments of WhaleYue.
The promotion of the bad review training class,
Warm-up for mini games,
Deep Blue Platform activities,
Lin Zhi's IP development,
These people are all participants!
Good cooperation!
No wonder it is said that the person a mature company needs least is the boss himself!
Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh.
I have put in so much effort, but now it seems that the best result is still the free game designed by Liang Cong, "Who Owes Whom"!
This kid is a talent!
Who could have imagined that the free game + advertising model would be so criticized!
After seeing Lao Zhou off, Lu Ming looked at his system panel. There were only three days left until the settlement.
Moreover, the number of people on the emotional panel is increasing.
The trend of positive reviews is hard to stop!
Lu Ming stared at the system panel and was silent for a full half minute.
There are still two days to settle.
Positive reviews are increasing.
Debt is falling.
A bit tricky,
But now this trend of positive reviews... seems to be unstoppable.
If we delay any further, the moral debt value will sooner or later be completely washed away by the praise from the "enthusiastic" players!
"Mr. Lu!"
Lu Ming was leaning on the sofa, thinking about whether to take the initiative to poison the next wave.
While I was struggling to figure out how to divert attention to the misunderstanding, the office door was pushed open again.
The one who ran in was Lin Xiaoxiao, with quick steps and an unconcealable joy on her face.
"Boss Lu, there's good news!"
Lin Xiaoxiao stood still, unable to hold back a word.
When Lu Ming heard the words "good news", his brain immediately jumped.
Trouble again!
"Wait a minute...what did you say?"
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were bright.
"Great news!"
"The official Weibo sent us a message!"
"ah?"
"official?"
Lu Ming was stunned, and suddenly felt a surge of panic.
"What official?"
"Central media!"
"Just twenty minutes ago, there were pictures!"
"Although it wasn't a special report, the reviews were quite good. They said our game, 'Mistaken Path', perfectly combines modern art with traditional spirit in terms of innovative expression and cultural heritage!"
"and……"
Lin Xiaoxiao handed over the phone while speaking.
“They mentioned ‘Who Owes Whom’ and our company name, emphasizing that we were telling our own story…”
Lu Ming took the phone, his hands were stiff.
The Weibo interface popped up, and it was indeed true.
Official Weibo: [A new window for expressing traditional culture in the new era]
text:
"As a domestically produced, buyout game, 'Mistaken Path to the Wilderness' is dedicated to recreating ancient elements such as wild mythology, the Three Thousand Great Daos, and moral cause and effect through immersive settings. It has sparked heated discussions among young people..."
"It showcases the in-depth thinking of contemporary youth on cultural diversity, the reconstruction of order, and individual breakthroughs...making games a new vehicle for cultural inheritance..."
"This is a new form of cultural output and an effective way for domestic games to express themselves and resonate with the public."
“…”
Lu Ming: “…”
His eyes scanned the lines of words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his blood pressure rose.
“Cultural export??”
"Deep thinking??"
"Mythology Extension???"
Are you sure you're talking about my game?
Does the official media also do reading comprehension in this way?
Lu Ming's face turned dark.
He quickly opened the comment section.
It turns out this is even more terrifying than the main text.
"Wow! I finally saw it! It's no wonder I always @you guys pay attention to new domestic games!"
"Whale Leap! It's a game of Whale Leap!"
“Their games are all fun! Highly recommended!”
"The Divine Whale Group is here to support us!"
"'Mistaken Path' is truly the pinnacle of Chinese-style games! Both the special effects and the gameplay are incredibly captivating..."
"This is the first time I've learned about myths and legends like the Pangu Banner, the Chaos Bell, and the Seven Treasures Tree in a game. I feel like I've learned so much!"
“This is the true meaning of educational entertainment!”
“…”
Lu Ming almost vomited blood.
Don’t you know how this group of players broke through the defense in the first place?
Why are you praising me so much in this comment section?
I'm almost done with the payment, please send it two days later!
"Weren't you stunned?!"
"Didn't someone fail in the Dao Merge and get killed?!"
"How can you still express such profound insights?!"
"Stop praising me, please! I beg you to be spicy!"
