Play Game of Life

Tuesday, January 23.

At this time, the internal atmosphere of Studio 404 was a little bit depressing.

After a lot of work yesterday, I successfully changed the release time with the official, and at 10 o'clock this morning, "Walk with Darkness" was officially released.

Of course, some related publicity arrangements have also been made. For example, the final release date of the previously submitted promotional video was changed to the 23rd, and a new notice of reverse bounce tickets was released on the official Weibo of 404 Studio.

But unfortunately, with little success!

404 Studio is not considered a big company now, and the popularity of "Ordinary Life" has dissipated, and "Walk with Darkness" is a horror game, so there was not much popularity before.

The studio's official Weibo only has a total of hundreds of thousands of fans, how many people can see a preview of a reverse ticket?

As for the promotional video, no one paid attention to it.

Because changing the content of the video will not send new news to the audience.

Therefore, everyone stared eagerly at the sales data after the game was released, from 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock, and after lunch until two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

Sales of the game still failed to break through triple digits.

This is too miserable!

To put it bluntly, this is not the only way to pre-order books on general novel websites!

Everyone was hit hard, and felt more and more that reverse bounce was not a good decision.

Lu Zhixing was still comforting everyone: "Everyone don't care, you should think in a more optimistic direction.

"The popularity of the game is relatively cool now, and it's not necessarily because of our reverse bounce, maybe it's because it's already very cool?

"A few days earlier and a few days later, it's the same."

Liu Boren was dizzy: "Brother Lu, your words have no consoling effect at all!"

Zhao Haoyan sighed melancholy: "Our company won't go bankrupt... Don't do that kind of thing! We just started our business not long ago!"

Lu Yixiao looked at Lu Zhixing: "Brother Lu, don't hide, where is the sense of strategizing in "Ordinary Life" before? Hurry up, come up with any tricks!"

Lu Zhixing spread his hands: "There is really no other way. Our plan is to use the quality of the game to impress players."

Li Rushan was secretly happy, what was he thinking? The road is always on my side!

He took out his mobile phone and quickly operated it.

"Okay, everyone, don't be so sad, be more optimistic like me and Mr. Lu, understand?

"I've already ordered a big cake and various takeaways. After all, it's working hours now. It's not good to go out to eat directly, and it doesn't comply with the company's regulations. But adding an afternoon tea is completely fine!

"Everyone is happy, let's go play games and collect materials!"

Under Li Rushan's efforts to enliven the atmosphere, the gloomy situation in the 404 studio finally improved somewhat.

Soon, everyone began to think of ways to divert their attention, some used food, some used dramas, and some used games...

Some people even climbed the wall in anger.

Li Rushan looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help feeling in his heart, what a great company!

It's a pity that such a good company can't directly continue to invest.

However, during this period of time, he has been studying the loopholes in the contract, and he can definitely think of an individual way to reincarnate 404 Studio, and he should be able to continue to invest money at that time.

It just requires a little bit of special manipulation...

Just as he was thinking happily, suddenly, he heard Yao Wenyang's surprise cry: "Damn it! Fuck it!"

This cry startled the employees who were anesthetizing themselves.

Liu Bo was stuffing a large piece of cake into his mouth when he heard this and stopped: "What's wrong?"

Yao Wenyang had an expression of surprise on his face. He looked at Lu Zhixing: "Mr. Lu, you still said that there is no second move?"

He looked at Li Rushan again: "Mr. Li, I understand, you and Mr. Lu have sang together, this has been discussed a long time ago, right?"

Li Rushan was at a loss: "What have you discussed? What are you talking about?"

Yao Wenyang pointed to the computer screen: "The official has arranged a special recommendation for our game! Special recommendation! The one that hangs directly on the homepage for a month!"

"puff!"

Li Rushan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, what the hell?

A month's worth of referrals?

I don't read much, so don't lie to me, how can there be such an official recommendation?

Everyone else was also shocked. Haven't heard of such an official recommendation? The best recommendation before was only posted on the homepage for a week, and the other recommendations were either only posted for two or three days, or they required several games to be promoted together.

How can there be any recommendation for hanging for a month?

Even the son of the official platform can't do this!

Everyone gathered together one after another.

I saw that what Yao Wenyang opened was indeed the official game platform, and a few large characters were displayed in a prominent position on the homepage.

"Warmly celebrate the Jinghai City Research Institute's major achievements in combating hacker crimes in the deep virtual space of 'Taiqing'!"

Everyone looked at Yao Wenyang with some doubts: "Old Yao, are you awake? This is indeed posted on the homepage, but this is news, what does it have to do with our game?"

Yao Wenyang explained: "Didn't you find out that the background picture of this news is using the resources of our game? This is the material in the promotional picture of "Walk with Darkness"!"

Everyone stared at it, it was true.

It can be clearly seen from the base map that this is a darker background, skyscrapers covered with plants can be vaguely seen, and the sky is covered with dark clouds... It is indeed the resource of "Walking with Darkness".

"The official... put the wrong picture?"

Everyone was confused and only thought of this explanation.

The official platform is full of pictures of various games, so even if there is any big news or information to be released, it will usually use game-style base maps or artistic characters, so that it is not so obtrusive. But the problem is that these resources are generally produced by the official itself, how can we directly use the resources of other games?

Yao Wenyang clicked in: "Then guess what's inside?"

Liu Bo shook his head slightly: "What else could it be? It's nothing more than a press release... Fuck! What's going on?"

This is indeed a press release, but between the releases, there is a recommended link of "Walk with Darkness"!

The game's publicity resources are placed directly at the front of the manuscript, which is very conspicuous.

As for the press release below, although it mainly introduces the major achievements Jinghai has made in cracking down on hackers this time, if you look closely, you will find that it is also inseparable from "Walk with Darkness"!

Everyone gathered around the computer and read the press release word by word with excitement.

The general idea is that this time, Jinghai Research Institute has made great achievements in cracking down on "Taiqing" deep virtual world hackers. The criminal gang that provided the springboard and support has captured more than 20 criminals in total!

These people belong to the notorious hacker organization ATE. Their main business is to steal our country's security information, spread bad ideas, and destroy network security. This time their domestic organization suffered heavy losses, and one of their lines was even Uprooted.

This undoubtedly makes all virtual spaces in China safer.

But the point is not here, but the fact that this operation was successful because the virtual space built by a designer in Jinghai based on the game blueprint created great difficulties for these hackers in the intrusion process, so the official To track them down without alarming them and uproot them!

It can be said that at least half of the success of this operation is due to this game.

And what is this game?

It is the new work developed by 404 Studio, "Walk with Darkness"!

Of course, there is no mention of how "Walking with Darkness" "created great difficulties for these hackers during the intrusion process".

After all, these details are relatively sensitive information.

But in any case, the official arrangement of "Walk with Darkness" in the press release, breaking the rules and giving a very special recommendation position, is enough to show the great role this game plays.

The influence of this press release cannot be underestimated. Although similar articles on the official platform will not show the amount of reading, if you think about it with your feet, you will know that everyone who enters the official platform can see it at first glance. The quantity is definitely an astronomical figure!

Sure enough, everyone clicked on the various forums to check, and found that the discussions about the game "Walk with Darkness" have exploded in an instant!
