An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 420 Millions of Players Online Simultaneously

[Good luck, eat chicken tonight! 】

[Number of eliminated players: 12. 】

Yunmeng Building.

Hao Yun, who was sitting in front of the computer, started the next move with a relaxed expression. As one of the game's designers, today is the first day of the game's launch, so he has to experience it for himself.

Standing behind Hao Yun and watching the whole game, Li Zongzheng and Du Ziteng expressed emotion in unison.

"Cow batch!"

"Damn it, 12!"

There are a total of one hundred players in a game.

Making it all the way to the finals is hard enough, let alone knocking out 12% of players in a single game. Yunmeng Game organized an internal employee competition before. In order to test the possible bugs in the game, Li Zongzheng remembered very clearly that he had no one eliminated and became a box, and the employee who eliminated the most was also knocked down. Five, and three of them were killed when they first landed.

Under normal circumstances, you may not be able to meet more than ten people in a game.

Unless you are very familiar with the map, you will know where the hot spots of the battle are when you see the poisonous circle.

This is no longer very strong, but too damn strong!

Hearing the flattering of the two, Hao Yun smiled and said modestly.

"Normal. It's only been a few hours since the server opened. Most people are not even familiar with the map. It won't be so simple in a few days."

After all, he was also a person who had 1,000 to 2,000 hours in his previous life, and he could run down the 8X8 map with his eyes closed, which is more than enough to bully a rookie who has less than ten hours.

At present, the game only has an island map. In the future release plan, there will be a larger desert, a slightly smaller tropical rainforest and snow, as well as more firearms, accessories and vehicles.

But at this stage, it is enough to maintain these classic gameplays.

For players in this world, the battle royale gameplay is still a very new concept. Before expanding more content, they must first get familiar with this gameplay as soon as possible.

Du Ziteng suggested.

"Boss, just start a live broadcast, I bet it will be popular!"

Li Zongzheng also nodded excitedly.

"Yeah... your marksmanship is simply too good!"

"What kind of live broadcast, no, I'm not interested," Hao Yun, who had already started to play, shook his head, and then said, "I won't play two more games, and it's getting late. Except for those who are on duty today, everyone else Finish work on time at two o'clock...By the way, Zhang Ding, how many people are online now?"

"It's already 11:20...the number of people online is still above 2 million," Zhang Ding continued, his voice trembling with excitement, "There are less than 3,000 of the 2.17 million players who pre-ordered the game. people applied for a refund."

According to the price of 98 yuan for a game, there are 2.17 million pre-order players, and the pre-order alone has brought Yunmeng Games an operating income of more than 200 million yuan.

And judging from the current popularity, two million players are far from reaching the bottleneck of this game. This is the first day, and "chicken eating" has appeared on many live broadcast platforms.

Looking at the ever-increasing data on the screen, Li Zongzheng suddenly said.

"I just heard from the Warcraft project team that the number of people online during the evening peak hours of World of Warcraft has decreased by 11.4% compared to yesterday... Mr. Hao, if this continues, will it affect the popularity of World of Warcraft?"

Hao Yun thought for a while and said.

"It may have an impact in the short-term, but the long-term impact is not great. World of Warcraft is an MMORPG type, and the player group targeted by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds does not have a high degree of overlap. The latter attracts more FPS players and competitive players. If we really want to talk about the impact , the impact on Warcraft will be greater."

At present, the number of simultaneous online users of Warcraft is probably ranked third in the creative workshop, and the second place has been replaced by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. As for the first place, World of Warcraft is still far ahead.

Although, as Li Zongzheng said, some Warcraft players were attracted to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, but compared to the size of World of Warcraft, these players are actually not many.

Not to mention that the two themselves do not conflict.

Players who play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds may also be players of World of Warcraft, and are more likely to have played Warcraft.

In short, as long as you download the creative workshop, you are a potential customer of Yunmeng Games. Every time he thinks about this matter, Hao Yun admires his decision to set up an independent game platform in the first place.

In the short term, it did reduce a certain amount of income, and the works of Yunmeng Games could not be exposed on a larger platform, but in the long run, it not only saved channel fees, but also cultivated players into fans.

No matter how you look at it, it's all blood money!

Seeing the great situation, Du Ziteng said with emotion.

"I bet that after tonight, there will definitely be a bunch of Internet companies holding internal meetings to discuss FPS game development projects."

Li Zongzheng joked.

"Does that matter? We don't have to wait until tomorrow. Our old friends are probably in a meeting overnight. By tomorrow, we may even get the version number of the new game."

Liu Ye said with a smile.

"The spring of FPS is coming."

"It's long overdue."

Hao Yun never thought that FPS was a category with no future.

The reason why it is so cool now is not that players don't like to play it, it's purely because the video game industry in this world started too late and hasn't experienced enough time to settle.

Coupled with the old tradition of domestic Internet companies following suit, this type of game that focuses on details and gameplay has never received fresh blood input, which eventually led to the current situation.

As for foreign game companies?

The electronics industry itself was a step behind, and the video game industry started even later.

So far, both sides of the Atlantic are still the countries where culture is exported, and the more famous ones are some foundries and agents, and there has been no sense of existence.

...

Twelve o'clock that night.

Most of the lights in Yunmeng Building have been extinguished, only a few offices have lights on, and there are still people sticking to their posts.

Since tomorrow is Saturday, I don't have to get up early to go to work. Therefore, even at this point, the number of online players of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is still hovering around the peak, without any sign of weakening.

On the major live broadcast platforms, there are more and more anchors broadcasting and eating chicken. Under the effect of traffic siphon, even those anchors who have nothing to do with live broadcast content and games, also ran to join in the fun.

Not only the live broadcast platform, but also major game forums.

As early as when PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds first released its trailer, the game island forum was mentioned. It was only an hour after the game was launched, and the enthusiasm of the discussion pushed the entire new forum to the top of the popularity list, even surpassing the game island. The most active section of the forum - World of Warcraft.

It's not even just gaming forums, even scarves are affected.

The word "eating chicken" was also searched for on the top of the bib!

[What does it mean to eat chicken? 】

[Chicken is so cute, why eat it. 】

[What is this hot search for sand sculptures? Did you buy it? ! 】

[It seems to be a very popular game... It was released by Yunmeng Games, which dominated the hot search list some time ago. 】

[Another game designed by Mr. Hao? 】

[Hmm... I see that many anchors are playing. 】

Many people who don't know the truth, after seeing this hot search, thought it was some kind of food at first, but later found out that it was a game that had just been launched not long ago.

And after knowing that this game was designed by Mr. Hao of Yunmeng Group, these people who eat melons were even more surprised.

If I remember correctly, this guy was sent to the trending search some time ago because of the Warcraft Music Festival and a prelude to the undead, and it was sent up again in a few days.

Good guy.

This scarf is almost made by his family!
