Chapter 228 The Value of “Fantasy FPS”

There were quite a few problems revealed in the first test of "Xiu Zhen Fantasy", but fortunately they were all easy to solve.

As for the game bugs that Chen Ba is more concerned about, it is not that there are none, but...

“This is not the bug I wanted!”

Faced with the game bug statistics information submitted by everyone, Chen Ba looked very depressed.

What the hell? Can clipping be called a bug? I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just the most common clipping! Is there a more serious bug that can affect the game environment?

"No!"

"Or maybe there is, but we haven't discovered it." Xiao Lu explained, shaking his head.

What should I do then?

The first test has gathered the elite backbones of Tianba Studio, all of whom are Chen Ba's right-hand men. If even they failed to discover it, it would probably be of no use if Chen Ba himself took action.

"Get ready for the second test!"

Chen Ba thought about it and decided that the game had come to this point and it was time for it to be presented to the players.

You can’t make a good game in isolation. Since no major problems were found in the first test, we can prepare for the second test and introduce the fourth disaster to fill in the gaps in the game.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

"By the way, Brother Ba, how large a scale do you plan to make the second test? How many invitation codes will you give out?" Xiao Lu asked.

"About 20,000 to 30,000 people..."

Chen Ba felt that 20,000 was a reasonable number. It would be troublesome if the number exceeded 20,000, and the server would be under greater pressure. It would also be difficult to control the number of players if the number was too large.

If it is less than 20,000, it would be too few.

If these players were thrown into the vast fairy world, they would probably not even be able to create a single ripple. Without enough manpower, it would be difficult to achieve the established testing goals.

"I see."

After learning from Brother Ba about the approximate scale of the second test and the number of activation codes to be issued, Xiao Lu immediately drafted an announcement, preparing to distribute the second test activation codes through channels such as Tianba Community, Game Star, and Tianba Official Website.

As always, core fans come first!

What are core fans?

Tianba accounts have their own registration dates, and this date can be used to distinguish whether the player is an old player or not.

Generally speaking, this kind of activity has nothing to do with new players who have registered for less than a year. Even if they sign up, they will not be selected.

Old players who have registered for more than 2-3 years and are still active are the main invitation targets for the second test of "Xiuzhen Fantasy".

What? Your Tianba account has been five years old?

Core players, absolute core players! If core players have levels, then this kind of hardcore fans are definitely the core of the core, and even Brother Ba has to toast them when he comes.

What? Not only are you a five-year veteran player, you also have a record of spending a large amount of money on Xianyu Digital, spending over 10,000 yuan on the Nobug platform, and you have every Tianba game in stock? Dad! Please take a seat! Players of this level can no longer be described as core fans, they are simply Brother Ba’s real dad. After all, no matter which game company it is, it has to support this level! Don’t think it’s an exaggeration.

As far as Chen Ba knows, the total number of players who have purchased and played almost every Tianba game should be less than three thousand.

“So little?”

Roger was very surprised.

In his opinion, the number of games produced by Tianba Studio is not very large, so the player stickiness should be very high, but he did not expect it to be so low.

“It’s pretty good.”

"Don't compare our studio with gaming companies like the Mi family, which are of the same lineage. They are not of the same nature." Chen Ba explained, shaking his head.

Who has the highest fan stickiness? Let’s not talk about foreign countries, at least in the domestic game industry, the fan stickiness of Xiaomi is the highest.

The reason is simple.

Mijia insists on the two-dimensional route, and its games are basically the same, so players have strong stickiness. As long as they get into a Mijia game, many people will try other Mijia games.

The effect of Game A in directing traffic to Game B is very good, and it can even be called a seamless connection.

In comparison, Tianba Studio is much worse. After all, the styles and themes of its games are diverse. Players basically only play one or two Tianba games, and few people play all of them.

"So that's how it is..."

Luo Ji thought about it and found that it was true.

If we look at the fan stickiness of a single game, Tianba Studio is definitely at the top of the list. Many of its games, especially games like "Don't Leave After School", have the highest player stickiness in the industry.

But if it is "all" games, then it is really not enough for Xiaomi. After all, the game themes are too broad, and players who like to play game A may not like game B.

For example, the three new games "Global Evolution", "Time and Space Detection" and "Ancestral Tree".

You don't need statistics to know.

The overlap rate among players of these three games is very low, and basically no one plays all three games at the same time.

One is a soul game player, one is an FPS game player, and one is a leaderboard player! It’s hard for these three groups of people to get along, let alone have a common topic.

“That’s right!”

Speaking of this, Chen Ba, who has not paid attention to the latest progress for a long time due to the development of "Cultivation Fantasy", is very curious about what the current record of "Ancestral Tree" is?

"58339!"

Rogi quickly reported a number, then explained: "This was a global record two days ago. It should be higher now."

Oh shit!

More than 58,000 levels?

When Chen Ba heard this number, he felt dizzy. Even as the producer of the game, he didn't know how to complete the game.

Too many, really too many! There are more than 58,000 levels. Just hearing that makes people speechless. How much perseverance does it take for a player to complete the game? "Perseverance?"

"This has nothing to do with perseverance. It's purely a matter of who has more free time! Besides, the game of Ancestor Tree is no longer about who can clear more levels."

Luo Ji smiled and said: "Players only compete with each other to see who can create more levels by exploiting game bugs and whose game client is more popular."

"Ancestor Tree" should be the Tianba game with the most versions, without a doubt!

A simple search in Tianba Community will yield thousands of different versions of the "Ancestral Tree" client. Except for the first 50 levels, each version is different.

Players can choose their favorite version from a vast number of versions to download and play.

certainly!

If you want to download different versions of the "Ancestor Tree" game client, you can only do it through the Nobug platform, and you need to purchase a copy of "Ancestor Tree" into your library.

This is also to prevent piracy.

After all, there are too many versions of "Ancestor Tree". If players are allowed to spread and download it without any restrictions, who would spend money to buy this game?

We must take anti-theft measures. Even with the core code provided by the Tiehanhan system, the game cannot be cracked, and the entire process is connected to the Internet, so there is basically no problem of piracy. We still have to show our attitude.

As long as players purchase a copy of the "Ancestral Tree" game, they can download any version they like, and Tianba officials will not care.

But if you don’t even buy the game and just want to get it for free, then even if you download other versions of the game client, you won’t be able to enter the game and play it normally.

You can’t pass the account verification stage, let alone disconnection from the Internet. Once the Internet is disconnected, the game cannot be started normally.

Protection fees still need to be paid!

How can Brother Ba let you play a game for free if he can't collect protection money? Do you really think Tianba Studio is doing charity?

…

The world record of "Ancestor Tree" is rapidly approaching 60,000 levels.

At the same time, "Time and Space Detective", the first FPS game used by Tianba Studio for proof-of-concept, also won an award this year.

The best mind-blowing game!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Thanks to the unique body movement system of "Time and Space Reconnaissance", there are a large number of incredible "gun fighting" skills in the game, which amazes the entire FPS game circle.

This award is well deserved!

Have you ever seen a bullet that can turn in other games? Have you ever seen bullet time? Have you ever seen a bullet being chopped by a knife or a person being killed by a sliding tackle?

Sorry! These cheat-like, unconventional operations are commonplace in Time and Space Detective.

If you don't know these, you won't survive even a second in the game, and you'll die as soon as you revive...

"Is it really that scary?"

"Of course!"

Every time Guo Mo recommends "Time and Space Detective" to his friends, he would be questioned by them.

Are you kidding me? What FPS game has this kind of operation? Don't make me laugh. If you are cheating, just tell me directly. Don't use the game features to fool me.

Guo Mo had to swear every time to trick his good friends into playing the game "Time and Space Detection".

Once you’ve reached this step, don’t worry about the rest!

As long as these friends enter the game and play a few rounds, they will understand that Guo Mo is not lying and that this crappy game can really do these incredible things.

OK, OK! Gunfighting, huh? That's so cool! No boy can resist the temptation of a bullet turning. If there is, then add a bullet time! That's not enough? Then slide to kill, knife to cut bullets...

With this combination of punches, any boy will be captivated by "Time and Space Detective" and become a loyal player and number one fan of the game.

Do you understand the value of the world's first "fantasy FPS" game?

In other FPS games, you can only experience the thrill of killing people with one shot, but in the game "Time and Space Reconnaissance", you can not only kill people with one shot, but also kill them with various styles.

Guo Mo was addicted to the game.

During this period of time, he didn't even open "Star Emperor". Whenever he had free time, he would play "Time and Space Reconnaissance" and the same was true for live broadcasts.

Netizens were all joking that if he continued like this, he might as well tell the super administrator to transfer the live broadcast contract to the "Time and Space Investigation" section.

"That won't work..."

Although he loves playing the game "Time and Space Detective" and has no resistance to the gun fighting in it, Guo Mo doesn't want to change divisions.

Don’t ask why. The reason is that the “Star Emperor” section has more viewers than the “Time and Space Detective” section, and they are also richer.

Why did several female anchors who sang and danced on the live streaming platform of a certain fish website stay in the League of Legends section all day and refused to leave? It was because the traffic in the League of Legends section was relatively high and there were more viewers! For anchors, staying in this section definitely had more advantages than disadvantages.

The same goes for Guo Mo.

His current live broadcast content is basically all "Space-Time Detective", and he rarely plays other games.

But even so, his live broadcast contract and live broadcast zone are still "Star Emperor". This is the result of his struggle with the super administrator, which can be regarded as a hidden benefit.

After all, there are many viewers in the "Star Emperor" zone, and they are all very rich. Why would they switch to the "Time and Space Detective" zone if they can stay in this zone? Besides! "Time and Space Detective" is popular, but it is hard to say how long this popularity can last.

Guo Mo is used to leaving a way out when doing things. Broadcasting "Time and Space Detective" now does not mean that this game will be broadcast in the future. Who can predict what will happen in the future?

Maybe after a while, he will stop broadcasting "Time and Space Detective" and broadcast another game. After all, isn't Brother Ba's new game about to enter the second beta? This is what Guo Mo heard.

As a game anchor, and an anchor for Tianba Games at that, Guo Mo has a wide range of sources of information and powerful connections.

When other players were unaware of the development progress and testing status of "Xiu Zhen Fantasy", he had already found out the general situation and obtained the second test activation code.

What, is this a shady deal?

It's a shady deal, so be it. This activation code was sent to him by Brother Ba. If you are not satisfied, go and complain to Brother Ba and see if he will pay attention to you.

Besides, this is not a shady deal.

Before a new game is released, especially an online game, several influential anchors will be invited to play it, which can be regarded as advertising for the game.

Pinxixi, a famous game anchor who is about to have a mermaid line, often does this kind of thing! In the final analysis, Tianba Studio is already relatively restrained.

Because Brother Ba did not invite those big anchors with millions or tens of millions of fans. The anchors he invited were mostly those who broadcast Tianba games and were considered half Tianba fans.

"It doesn't matter how many fans you have, the most important thing is that you have played Tianba games..."

Chen Ba pays advertising fees to people, and doesn’t like to spend money on those anchors who are just there to “make a quick buck and leave” and are purely there to deal with business orders.

What’s the point of finding those anchors to promote?

After accepting the advertisement, he pretended to work for two days for the sake of money, and then ran away as soon as the contract expired.

Chen Ba is not interested in this kind of anchor, no matter how many fans he has. He still hopes to find anchors who are already interested in the new game and are also fans of Tianba.

For example, Guo Mo!

These anchors are not only cheap but also very loyal. They are not just pretending to do their job, so Chen Ba thinks it is worth paying them advertising fees.

By the same token, when these anchors receive a “big order” from Tianba Studio and receive such high attention for the first time, they will feel very touched and will work harder in advertising.

Guo Mo received 100,000 yuan this time! For an anchor of his level, Brother Ba's order is already a big order.

He was already very interested in "Cultivation Fantasy" and also received advertising fees from Brother Ba. Combining the two, he would naturally do his best.

He has thought it all out.

Tomorrow I will go to Xianyu Digital to place an order for a flagship 60 series graphics card, upgrade my computer configuration, and call a few reliable friends to prepare for the second test of "Cultivation Fantasy".

The 100,000 yuan from Brother Ba must be made to feel that it is great value for money, so that he will come to him again next time when he has an order.

If he comes a few more times, won't he become rich? (End of this chapter)
