Dear Player Friends:
Hello everyone!
We are honored to announce some good news:
《Frost and Snow Project》 has landed on the Softe Game Box, exceeding 14 million downloads within 24 hours, and simultaneously topping the game box's weekly download chart and weekly sales chart.
We couldn't have achieved such remarkable results without the support of our players.
With gratitude, we are giving all 《Frost and Snow Project》 players 10 liquid gold coins as a thank you.
At the same time, we will also draw 100 lucky players to receive the in-game item: 【Ring of Eternity】.
(Note: Winning players must have at least one character with a full affection level, otherwise they will lose their eligibility to win)
Seeing this achievement, both the internal and external networks were in an uproar.
But before they could digest this shock, Zhumeng released a second announcement—
Dear players and friends:
We are very honored to announce another good news:
As of now, the Mirage Gaming Kit, consisting of 【Haptic Feedback Suit/Haptic Gloves】, 【VR Glasses】 and 【Omnidirectional Treadmill/Motion Capture Matrix】, has sold out its first batch of million units.
As of now, more than 1 million sets have been successfully activated, and the rest are already on the way.
[Lakeside Cabin], [Yoga Studio] and [Sprawling Metropolis] welcome more than one million new residents!
To thank you for your love, we will randomly select 100 lucky players and give each of them a Mirage Gaming Kit.
(This lottery is only open to players who have registered a Zhumeng game account before today.)
This rule will continue, and 100 sets will be given away for every 1 million Mirage Gaming Kits activated in the future.
Finally, we understand your strong demand for more equipment, and the latest batch of equipment is in intensive production.
Zhumeng Mall will open the second round of product pre-orders, and players who need it are welcome to place orders in advance to lock in the product.
After the production is completed, Zhumeng will arrange the delivery work as soon as possible according to the order of pre-orders, and deliver the equipment to the players as quickly as possible.
Thank you again for your support and optimism.
As soon as this announcement came out, many people quickly jumped to the Zhumeng Mall before they could even reply.
Opening the page of the haptic suit and haptic gloves, the pre-order button, which had been grayed out for several days, lit up again.
So everyone's eyes lit up too!
For the past two days, watching others flirting with their virtual wives and playing cards in the hail of bullets of World War II, they could only feel anxious besides envy.
More importantly: there are almost no negative reviews from these millions of users.
The few complaints are also that they cannot play the game for a long time, and they have to take off the VR glasses and rest for a while after more than two hours.
And after more than 4 hours, the highly close-fitting haptic feedback suit will also bring some stuffiness, and you need to take it off to rest.
They all hope that Zhumeng can lighten it and further improve the gaming experience.
This reputation completely dispelled everyone's doubts about the product, and they no longer have to worry that this is a marketing scam.
So—
Buy, buy, buy!
Impatient players rushed to place pre-orders.
The good news is:
This time everyone doesn't have to worry about not being able to pre-order.
Because this time Zhumeng no longer sets an upper limit, and welcomes all players who want to pre-order.
But the bad news is:
This time Zhumeng has no stock, and sells as much as the factory produces.
The delivery cycle will be significantly slower than the first batch.
And the slower you pre-order, the later the delivery time will be!
In the first hour, the players who successfully pre-ordered were still very happy and ran to the announcement just released by Zhumeng to share their joy.
But an hour later, the new pre-ordering players looked at the queue numbers and the expected delivery time, and couldn't laugh at all—
"It's only an hour late, and you're throwing me into October???"
"What the f*ck! One hour, 1 million people pre-ordered??? Are you crazy?!"
"Very good, when Dragon Palace Treasure can be played with haptics, you don't have to worry about not being able to match people."
"Boss Xu, are you considering selling green channels? The kind where you pay extra to jump the queue."
"It's only been an hour, if I pre-order tomorrow, won't I have to wait until next year..."
… …
The pre-order situation is very hot!
Seeing this situation, Zhang Yang immediately took action and prepared to add a few more production lines.
—The reason why it wasn't added before was because Xu Meng stopped him.
Xu Meng is a game developer, and even when making hardware, he has a strong mindset.
That is: test first, then market.
Even though the haptic feedback suit had been tested internally, by the military, and at the Cologne Game Show, Xu Meng was still not at ease.
In his eyes, the first three rounds of testing were "internal testing", the second was "special sample testing", and the third was "small-scale limited-time testing."
None of them have enough universality.
He was always worried that if these things fell into the hands of ordinary players, would there be any unexpected problems.
At that time, the equipment will have to be recalled and the assembly line adjusted.
This is also one of the reasons why he did not open overseas IP purchases in the first round—it is too troublesome to recall.
Of course, this is only a secondary reason.
The main reason is to supply the first batch of equipment to old players.
Now that a large-scale test of millions of people has not had any problems, there is no need to have any concerns, just expand production directly.
Zhang Yang went to work with great interest.
After working with Xu Meng on this project, the group's senior management's eyes on him have changed significantly.
His prestige in Yuanyang Group has greatly increased.
His father's attitude has also changed from hating that iron cannot become steel to being gratified, and he no longer says that his selling the house to start a game company is a waste of time.
—Now my father's saying has become "has vision, knows how to invest."
—
Unlike Zhang Yang's success, other industry peers were stunned.
Especially those in the game development industry were stunned.
— Because it was too fast!
Everyone was still thinking about how to deal with the crazy attacks from extreme organizations at home and abroad against Dream Building in order to overcome the difficulties.
As a result, Dream Building turned around and released two announcements—
Both ends topped the charts, and the hardware sold out on the same day!
As for being scolded, they didn't even bother to mention it.
It seemed that they didn't take it to heart at all!
In the chairman's office of Moyu Games.
Fei Zhiyuan looked at Dream Building's announcement and the mobile game sales chart, and nervously lit a cigarette.
Kong Yaohui sat opposite him, a little puzzled by his surprise and irritability:
"Boss, didn't you predict that Dream Building would surpass 'Abyss of Gods' long ago?"
A week ago, Kong Yaohui went straight to this office on the day he returned from the Cologne Game Show to report to Fei Zhiyuan all his experiences in Cologne—
Dream Building's new technology, the lifelike somatosensory interaction, players from all over the world flocked to it, and companies at home and abroad came to seek cooperation…
He reported everything in detail.
After listening, Fei Zhiyuan made a judgment on the spot—
As long as it doesn't encounter irresistible forces, Dream Building surpassing 'Abyss of Gods' and being crowned the new king of second-tier games is already a high-probability event.
But…
"In my expectation, Dream Building should use several versions to surpass 'Abyss of Gods' step by step."
"Instead of a fucking week!"
Too fast!
So fast that he was caught off guard!
"Is the report from those feminist organizations online effective?" he asked.
"No," Kong Yaohui shook his head.
Seeming to think that this was too understated, he added, "There is absolutely no reaction, all reports have disappeared without a trace."
"Damn it, these useless things that do more harm than good!" Fei Zhiyuan's anger surged.
"I can't even tell whether they really have a grudge against Dream Building, or if they are deliberately acting as trolls to hype Dream Building!"
Fei Zhiyuan couldn't help but swear.
As everyone knows—at least everyone in the second-tier game circle knows:
Black traffic is also traffic.
Overwhelming black traffic is still traffic.
Unless you can suppress the other party and cause them huge losses, otherwise, more traffic is a benefit to the other party.
And what reasons did these extreme feminists use to criticize 'Frost Snow Project'?
Vulgar, lewd, erotic…
Please, are these reasons really an attack?
In the eyes of the target users of 'Frost Snow Project', this is simply a living advertisement!
It can be said that the success of 'Frost Snow Project' in topping the charts on both ends is inseparable from these extreme feminist organizations!
Fei Zhiyuan's chest heaved, and it took a lot of effort to suppress his anger.
"Since this is the case, we must also speed up!"
He asked his assistant to call Gong Feng and said directly:
"The time left for 'Mirror World Story' is running out!"
"…Ah?" Gong Feng was stunned in place.
"Why?" he asked puzzled.
He knew that the revenue of 'Frost Snow Project' had surpassed 'Abyss of Gods' for two consecutive days, but Dream Building had just launched a new version, and with the help of new technology, it was not difficult to exceed 'Abyss of Gods' in the short term.
Isn't it necessary to be so alarmed?
But Fei Zhiyuan saw further:
"The most troublesome thing is not the leading revenue, but the reason for the leading revenue."
"If it's just because of selling soft pornography and releasing large-scale characters, then it doesn't matter."
"Because we can imitate, we can surpass, and we can use their way of defeating Fourth Dimension Games to defeat them."
"But now, Dream Building is achieving transcendence through hardware technology, and we cannot learn from this successful path at all."
"Once Dream Building completely spreads its hardware and reaches the popularity of New Power Game Station and Sofu Te Game Box, then the development space of all second-tier games will be greatly compressed, and no one will want to challenge Dream Building's position again."
"If we still follow the original plan step by step, then 'Mirror World Story' will not even be able to get a piece of the cake and achieve better results than 'Divine Bird', and it may not even be able to catch up with the hot shit!"
Fei Zhiyuan's words were harsh, and Gong Feng frowned subconsciously, wanting to argue.
But before he could open his mouth, Fei Zhiyuan said:
"Or, do you have a way to make something like Dream Building's somatosensory suit?"
As soon as these words came out, Gong Feng was speechless.
He is a game planner, what does he know about bioelectrical pulse algorithms?
Letting him do this is like letting him grow sweet potatoes on the moon.
"So!" Fei Zhiyuan concluded, "We must speed up as much as possible and grab a large enough piece of the cake before Dream Building's hardware is completely spread out!"
"We must be faster than Dream Building, and we must be bolder than 'Frost Snow Project'!"
"Even faster?" Gong Feng was struck by lightning.
Since the end of the first test, he has been completely immersed in the development of 'Mirror World Story'.
In his feeling, the entire team is already operating at overload!
He couldn't imagine how to be faster.
But the boss doesn't care—
"Prepare for the second test as soon as possible!" Fei Zhiyuan said unquestioningly, "I will say hello to HR, you can recruit more people, and I will give you enough budget."
"Then, in order to speed up the pace and recover funds earlier, let's have a paid test for the second test."
"It's still the old plan, all recharge amounts will be fully returned to the player's account after the server is opened."
Gong Feng frowned tightly, his face ugly.
But he had no choice but to nod and leave the office to inform the team members of this bad news.
According to the boss's meaning, the second round of paid testing will be launched at the latest next month—preferably this month.
The more Gong Feng thought about it, the more outrageous he felt.
In the end, this "boss's loyal lackey" finally couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it, stupid leader."
Please give me monthly tickets, friends!
