Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 217 121. Milestone!

This pokeni community actually has strategic significance.

Don’t underestimate it. It only has text function now, but as long as it develops for a period of time, it will become a gathering place for Neon players.

According to Qing Zhiyuan's idea, although the pokeni community currently mainly serves his company, the framework has been finalized and he wants to expand it in the future, whether it is an official website or other types of sharing websites. It's a very quick thing.

In this way, you already have a very important media platform. If you want to promote or do publicity on it in the future, it will be very convenient.

And when the topic becomes popular, it can further increase pokeni's popularity.

At this point, it is actually more than just a forum.

It is the first shot at the future of electronic news media, but it will take some time to develop and grow.

What's more, Qing Zhiyuan feels that it is too inefficient to use the operation staff to go to the streets to find players and come back to do questionnaire surveys.

Although interviews can more intuitively observe the changes in players' expressions, the process is quite troublesome, and the scale is generally not large.

Even in the field of statistics, the sample size for spot checks is relatively small.

But the forum is different. Once players get used to commenting in the pokeni community, the number of people will gradually increase. You can quickly and intuitively see what players say about the game, so as to understand what they like and what they like. Disgusting place.

It will actually be very helpful for making games in the future.

There is another point, even if it is Qing Zhiyuan’s selfishness:

I want to see intuitively how players praise themselves.

In the past, players had to hold player exchange meetings to communicate offline, which was a very uncomfortable feeling.

It is equivalent to winning the Olympic championship but not hearing praise from others.

Only the media can report something. If you want to hear the cheers of the people at the bottom, you have to go down and find out among them.

This is out of step with the development of the times.

The Internet era is an era of information explosion and an era of rapid dissemination of emotional value.

In an era like this, it would be a pity if there is no pokeni community to read the comments of players and accept their praise.

Moreover, for Qing Zhiyuan in his previous life, it was really a joy to be able to see interesting comments and discuss with them in forums or steam community sections, even under relevant videos on Station B.

Without comments, I feel like there is a lot less fun in the later stages.

Sometimes the comments made by netizens are more interesting than the game itself.

There is a reason why the barrage became popular, because the comments themselves are very interesting.

…

In order to enjoy this moment, Qing Zhiyuan even wrote a post in the pokeni community as the president.

The general idea is to thank the players for their companionship and support for so long.

[I believe that you have also experienced many related games while growing up with P Club]

[Although the game is a life created by us, it becomes complete because of you]

[Each player’s experience of life in pokeni games is definitely different]

[All the joys and sorrows, all the ups and downs, are hard to forget, right? 】

[In this case, you might as well leave your footprints here and write your game story, so that we can share and make progress together? 】

[Thank you, pokeni official. 】

Qing Zhiyuan was embarrassed to use his own name, mainly because it was too public and not good.

He likes the low-key and quiet way of showing off.

Then he waited for the players' compliments and smiled sadly in private.

Qing Zhiyuan registered the forum and opened a corresponding theme section for each pokeni game. Then he disclosed the news to Guo Letong and other news media, hoping to create a wave of publicity.

Of course, in a paid way.

…

This news was published in the latest issue of the Guoletong journal:

“With the development of personal computers, the Internet has gradually become popular in the world, and people can communicate, share, and obtain information on the Internet.

The Internet may become a very important development trend in the future.

In the past year, there have been domestic operators that can provide dial-up Internet access, and the number of computer purchases has also increased exponentially. It is estimated that within the next ten years, computers will become a must-have item for every household.

On personal computers, many excellent games have been produced this year.

"The Elder Scrolls: Arena" is a role-playing game developed and published by Bethesda Software and was released in March this year.

Emperor Uriel Septim VII was betrayed by the Empire's battlemage Ja'ka Tharn and imprisoned in another dimension.

You will travel alone across the vast continent of Tamriel in search of the legendary Staff of Chaos to rescue the true Emperor and restore peace to the empire.

The game itself is very playable and full of exploration elements. It is a very rare game masterpiece.

"Warcraft: Humans and Orcs": a LAN real-time battle game. Players can experience single-player battles in this game, understand the basic operations of the game, and can also compete with other players online through LAN.

The operation difficulty is quite high, you need to operate multiple units at the same time, but the world view is very large, the content is very rich, and it has a very rich and imaginative western fantasy color..."

After introducing the development of the world's Internet and electronic computers, as well as the changes brought about by computer games, Guo Letong specially wrote content related to the pokeni community.

"Pokeni has started the first forum community in China. Players who are interested in pokeni's games or want to complain about their game works can leave messages in this forum.

President Qing Zhiyuan said that the corresponding developers will read everyone's feedback carefully and strive to make future games better.

At the same time, you can also write down your game mood in the forum and share it with other players.

Isn't it interesting? "

This introduction on the forum homepage is quoted later.

The forum address is given at the end.

…

"Huh? A personal computer?"

"There are also games on PC."

"Yes, it seems that there have been computer games a long time ago, but they are not very popular here."

"Computers are so expensive. I don't even think about it. The latest high-end computer costs at least 500,000 yen, right?"

"Hmm, I can't afford it at all."

"The company does have computers and equipped them for us, but we have to return them after using them, let alone install games on them."

"It would be too painful to buy it yourself."

The monthly salary of many office workers is only about 200,000 yuan a month. Buying a computer for 500,000 yuan is indeed a bit of a luxury.

Game consoles are obviously much cheaper in comparison.

The Sega MD is only 29,800. Sony is said to be launching a more powerful game console this year, and the price will not exceed 50,000 yen.

"What's more, the performance of game consoles is better than that of computers, so I won't want to play computer games.

Unless there is some masterpiece that must be played. "

"These two games look quite interesting, but I really don't like the style of the game. I guess domestic players won't accept it easily, right?"

"And I looked at it, and the games on the computer are actually quite rough, and the picture quality on the current game consoles is not as good."

"..."

The players were discussing each other word by word.

But what they stated is actually a fact.

Because PC games will only develop after 2000. In the 1990s, computers were more used as personal office tools. However, as the number of owners increased, everyone felt that this thing was not only It would be nice to have office capabilities and at the same time be able to play some games after work.

In such a market environment, more and more game manufacturers have invested in, and then reversely promoted the development of computer hardware, such as graphics cards, sound cards, and memory. This has led to the vigorous development of computer games later.

Now, Neon players are actually more accustomed to playing games through game consoles.

Players who bought Goletong, while commenting on computer games, also saw the pokeni advertisement posted below.

"Pokeni community? What the hell is this?"

"don't know."

"Dial-up Internet access needs to be operated on a computer."

"Ah~ it's so troublesome, what's the use?"

"I'm not so sure either."

"Looking at the introduction, it seems that you can write down your experience of the game and then share it in this community. Others can see what you wrote as long as they log in to the pokeni community."

"Huh? Is that so? But why should I write it down and share it with others?"

"Who knows, isn't it the most interesting time to communicate about game experience? Especially when you can have a drink in an izakaya with your friends at night, talk about games, and talk about interesting things that happened recently. It's really It’s very comfortable and happy.”

"Pokeni's president really wants to come up with something all at once. He specializes in creating some weird and weird things. Why not use this time to develop games properly?"

"That's right, it's difficult for people without concentration to succeed."

"It's all because the producers of pokeni are so good that they gave this useless president such a lot of freedom."

…

Of course, Qing Zhiyuan could not know the complaints made by these players offline, but as time went by, the media and newspapers also published advertisements for the pokeni community. Even after almost a week, there was still no one in the forum. Any messages from players.

Not to mention sharing a large amount of content.

This incident completely deviated from Qing Zhiyuan's knowledge and expectations.

According to his idea, although Neon doesn't have that many people owning personal computers, there will be at least a few die-hard fans with money, right?

I look at the computer in a daze every day, hoping that someone will comment, but there is no one.

At least no one left a message to share in the forum.

"Ah~how could this happen?"

Qing Zhiyuan felt extremely uncomfortable.

It shouldn't be like this.

Qing Zhiyuan fell into deep self-doubt and despair, and his expression was depressed.

Or should we wait a little longer? After all, the Internet is still too new for today’s players and requires a process of acceptance and adaptation?

But at this moment, a post suddenly appeared on the forum.

Qing Zhiyuan immediately sat up from his chair and opened the contents excitedly.
