Play Game of Life

Li Rushan was silent for a moment: "Well... your question can be said to go straight to the soul.

"But it doesn't matter. Anyway, if you can't sell it, you can still give it away... Ahem, no, what I mean is that we should do more publicity and raise the popularity in advance. I believe that in terms of the enjoyment of speedrunning competitions, It will definitely attract enough passerby viewers!”

Seeing Li Rushan's confident expression, Ye Luo was very suspicious.

How enjoyable is a speedrunning race?

Does this thing have any ornamental value...

Why is speedrunning so niche? To put it bluntly, it’s just not enjoyable enough!

Indeed, the speedrunning gameplay itself is very hardcore, so few people play it. But there are not many people watching!

If the gameplay of speedrunning is really attractive, then top speedrunners like Ye Luo would have become the top players in the game area, and the anchors in the game area would also have to practice speedrunning to increase their game play. program effect.

But in fact, there is a reason why so few people watch speedrunning.

The fault tolerance rate of speedrunning is very low, so when most speedrunners challenge, they spend most of their time running the content of the first one or two chapters. And even if you are lucky enough to reach the middle of the process, it is very likely that all your previous efforts will be completely wasted due to a failure.

The entire process of speedrunning may take one or two hours, and during these two hours, only certain key nodes are of concern to the audience.

The rest of the process is very fixed, and the audience has seen it countless times, and has long lost its novelty.

Real-life speedrunning competitions generally limit winning and losing based on the actual clearance time, which eliminates the need for speedrunning players to "repeat the start", but it still does not completely solve this problem.

To see clearly the key nodes of speedrunning, the audience needs to have a deep understanding of the speedrunning process.

In other words, players need to understand the process planning of speedrunning and understand the mechanisms and principles of some key skip links in order to understand it clearly.

Therefore, if we judge by the quality of the game, from low to high they are: cloud players → game players who have cleared the game normally → speed passers → speed pass players.

Even if the player just clears the game normally, many speed-passing contents will be difficult to understand.

Although commentary can be arranged on site, many contents are difficult to understand even if there is commentary.

After many layers of screening, both playing speedrunning and watching speedrunning require a lot of professional speedrunning knowledge, which is why this gameplay is so niche, with not many people playing it or watching it.

Mr. Li said he wanted to improve the viewing experience of the game? Want to attract as many passerby viewers as possible?

I'm afraid it's too wishful thinking...

If it could really be done, so many speedrunning players and the speedrunning community would not go to great lengths to promote it and increase its influence.

However, Ye Luo didn't say anything. Since Mr. Li was full of confidence and sincerely wanted to promote the game of speedrunning, he couldn't afford to throw cold water on it at this time.

As for Li Rushan, what he said was certainly not true. After all, such a large-scale effort to engage in speedrunning communities and competitions was just to burn money.

But no matter what, Mr. Li burned money, speedrunners gained popularity, and the audience had fun. It was a win-win-win no matter how you look at it!

Finally, I went through the entire office area of ​​the Sutong website, and I almost understood it.

Li Rushan looked at Ye Luo expectantly: "How is it, Master, are you satisfied with our website? Do you have any suggestions?"

Ye Luo nodded: "Satisfied. Well, it can even be said that it is far beyond my imagination..."

Before coming, Ye Luo never thought that this speed pass website could have such a big battle.

I thought it would be done with just a few offices at most.

It's not that he looks down on Mr. Li's financial resources. The point is that the SpeedTong website itself can't do so many tricks. What's the point of throwing money at it?

But after seeing Mr. Li's arrangement, Ye Luo was convinced.

Sure enough, we still need to open up the situation!

He thought about it carefully: "If you want to say a suggestion, I do have one.

"I think, since Mr. Li wants to complete this speedrunning website to a high standard and even arrange game speedrunning tasks for all employees, you can also consider setting up a 'special operations team'."

Li Rushan was stunned for a moment: "Special operations team? What is that?"

He knew all these words, but he couldn't imagine what this thing had to do with the speed pass website.

Ye Luo explained: "This is just a suggestion. It is up to Mr. Li to decide whether it should be established or not.

"I just think it's a good thing that Mr. Li set up this website to not only bring all speedrunning players together, but also to let his employees practice speedrunning. Of course, these resources cannot be wasted.

“But if speedrunning is limited to single-player game speedrunning and refreshing records, then it would be somewhat of a waste.

“VR games are developing so fast now. Although stand-alone VR games will definitely remain mainstream in the future, the online version will definitely develop rapidly in the future.

“For example, the ‘virtual city’ that is being launched by major research institutes recently, can’t it be regarded as a large-scale online VR game?

"And in the second phase of the virtual city, the official is obviously encouraging more attempts. For example, the Three Kingdoms theme of the virtual Jinghai has added a combat mechanism, and the feedback from tourists has been quite good.

“Since there are many people and there are battles, sooner or later there will be a ‘multiplayer battle’.

"Since Mr. Li has organized so many speedrunning players through this website, it would be logical to organize them into a 'special operations team'.

"This group can usually practice more coordination in the virtual space. They have a good foundation. If they can coordinate and cooperate, they will definitely have very good practice results.

"Just like when so many young talents were training under Lu Renjia, the combat effectiveness of forming a team will definitely increase exponentially compared to fighting alone!

"Of course, Mr. Li needs to consider what exactly this special operations team can do. I simply think it is a bit of a waste to bring so many speedrunners together without doing some team training."

Li Rushan's eyes gradually brightened as he listened.

"Huh? What you said...makes sense! It's just that I'm too small-minded to think of this!

"If you organize everyone to train together in a virtual space, do you need some special subsidies? Training is so hard and tiring!

“And you instructors will definitely have to receive another salary.

"After all, the speed pass review is one thing, and being an instructor is another thing. One code must be the same, so we can't get confused."

Li Rushan counted on his fingers and suddenly realized that this was another good way to spend money!

Not bad, Ye Luo, it is indeed a very right choice to ask you to help check the speed pass website!
