Super Game Empire

Both versions are running, and both have added the latest LongChat chat module. When you are not connected to the Internet, it is an ordinary in-game chat. When you are connected to the Internet, you can call the instant messaging function. The conversation area in the game is a public chat room.

You can open the friend list and select online friends to communicate in private messages, so that you can have both game and chat conversations.

Yang Yun was most satisfied with this. Initially, the game had a chat room and an Internet connection interface. After the LongChat software was produced, Eric, a technical expert, quickly integrated the LongChat core module into the game.

, tightly binding chat tools and games. The chat area in the game "Diablo 1" is the core function of LongChat software!

"Very good! I really like your approach to...rogue software!" Yang Yun was very impressed. He cited the example of Microsoft: "There is a Windows operating system that forcibly bundles and sells various Microsoft office software.

, other anti-monopoly investigation agencies will probably not make an issue with our Longteng game bundling and promotion of LongChat, right?"

Marcos laughed: "No, LongChat is free software. If it is not profitable, it will not trigger commercial investigations. Although free information exchange through the Internet's data transmission protocol may cause dissatisfaction among communications companies, high-cost

The network fee is enough to make up for this, and no one will bother us. This is different from Microsoft's office software. Five years ago, a Word business software sold for $500, which of course would cause dissatisfaction with other office software manufacturers."

Spend 500 US dollars to buy a Word text editing software. Tsk tsk, Yang Yun clicked his tongue. No wonder Microsoft has become the largest IT company in the world so quickly!

"I'm very satisfied with other aspects. I'll leave this game to the company's operation and sales department. Thank you all for your hard work! Thank you for your hard work over the past year and thank you for everything you have done for Longteng Company. I will put it down

Let’s all have a holiday, enjoy it!” Yang Yun stood up and bowed to the Blizzard development team to express his gratitude.

The Blizzard team deserves Yang Yun's attention and gratitude. If it weren't for the original team, Yang Yun might have to spend a lot of time in game production, starting from a dark world view, and might fall into the trap of painting a tiger.

To the point of being anti-canine, a game like Diablo is so complex that it cannot be completed by one person!

In the future, the development cycle of large-scale games will be calculated in years. It is normal for a masterpiece to be developed for two or three years. Yang Yun is not reborn with a game hard drive. He is just an intern editor of a game magazine. He played games for several years in college.

He only saw the surface of the game at the tip of the iceberg, let alone the core of the game. The rules of Darkness were much more complicated than the rules of DND. Yang Yun had a headache just looking at the rules of DND.

Marcos and others returned the favor to Yang Yun and applauded warmly. They hugged each other and congratulated each other with constant laughter.

They also thanked Yang Yunhui from the bottom of their hearts for his eye-sightedness. If Yang Yun had not saved them with funds when they were in poverty, they might have been disbanded long ago. How could they now see a masterpiece designed by themselves?

…

…

The game launch plan for "Diablo 1" has already listed specific items. As soon as Yang Yun comes back to confirm the time, the operations department will start working.

The launch is scheduled for International Labor Day on May 1st. Time is a bit tight, but Longteng's marketing and operations departments have already prepared everything, and will start global simultaneous promotion at the end of April.

This is Longteng's most important RPG game in 1996. It was launched on PC and SS at the same time, and different packaging and marketing plans were made for different customer groups.

The PC version is a hardcover 4-disc version, which comes with the Dark History Handbook novel, a monster illustrated book, a dungeon maze map, an independently numbered membership card, and two redemption coupons, which can be redeemed for two copies of "Salomander: Red Alert" and

The competitive trial version of "Special Forces" is priced at US$79.

The SS version has no redemption coupons and an extra giant poster. The price is only $59, which is cheaper than the PC version. This is mainly because players who buy SS will not necessarily like PC competitive games.

The free redemption coupons in the PC package are actually reflected in the sales price difference. The purchase is not as good as the sale. How can Longteng give away two games for free? US$79 is just a package of 59+10+10.

The Red Alert game, which is planned to be priced at $10, is not a loss. With the future single-player campaign, expanded map packs, expanded arms, bug maintenance and repairs, etc., the complete game will only cost about $60, and it is to promote WCG, promote

The first real-time strategy competitive game of LongChat chat software, Longteng is exchanging sales volume for market, which is a money-burning stage.

Yang Yun made a suggestion to the marketing department, this time hunger marketing.

Therefore, after these carefully packaged game boxes are placed on the shelves of various Longteng counters and authorized stores of all sizes around the world, the cumulative sales of each store every day do not exceed 100 boxes, even in flagship stores in Tokyo or Paris and New York.

The supply is limited to 1,000 boxes, first come first served, each person is limited to 2 boxes, while supplies last.

Many people are puzzled by Yang Yun's decision, and players have a mixture of love and hate.

After several months of publicity in many mainstream professional game magazines around the world, players have become accustomed to the story background and operation interface of "Diablo 1".

Screenshots of the operation interface, NPC story introductions, in-depth analyzes of fallen heroes, and game production highlights occasionally leaked from Shanghai Longteng R&D Center all seduce the hearts of players all the time.

However, only a limited number of games can be purchased every day, and even miners on leave may not be able to buy them. Players are angry when they line up at dawn every day but are not among the top 100.

The 1st is International Labor Day. All ordinary workers in Europe and the United States have a holiday. They gave up their rest time and came here to buy Longteng's latest RPG game. However, they were told that it was sold out after noon, and more and more people were still rushing in.

Everyone came with full hopes, but their hopes were artificially shattered, and those who were rejected all made dissatisfied protests.

"Game software is made from CDs, how can it be under-produced?"

"Sorry sir, due to some special reasons, the headquarters requires limited sales. If you don't have time to queue up, you can leave your registration phone number. Once the headquarters cancels the limit, we will notify you by phone!"

"What special reason? Is there any special reason to limit the purchase? If it can be sold, just sell it. If it can't be sold, just don't put it on the shelves. What does the purchase limit mean?"

"Sorry sir, the game "Diablo 1" is a good game. We all hope that it will sell well, but there are always some special reasons that prevent it..."

"Is someone not allowing the game to be released? Longteng is the world's largest video game platform. Although there are no major hits in PC games, it won't be suppressed so easily, right?"

"Sorry sir, Longteng operates with integrity and is strict with itself, but it is really not convenient for us to evaluate our peers..."

"Shet! I don't feel at ease even if I want to play a game! Where is the phone registration?"

"Please go that way...Thank you for supporting Dragon Games!"

On the first day of release on the 1st, there were conversations like this in Longteng stores around the world. The authorized stores had simpler countermeasures. Faced with dissatisfied players and doubts, the authorized stores said indignantly: "There are PC game manufacturers suppressing Longteng. They

I want to accuse Long Teng of plagiarism!"

Dragon Teng plagiarism? In the minds of ordinary players, only others plagiarize Dragon Teng games. When did Dragon Teng plagiarize other games? Players who bought the game on the same day went home and immediately experienced the game content and entered the dark world to experience the Western magical world.

Some people have vaguely guessed something. From the previous publicity, everyone knows that the theme of Western fantasy, dungeon world exploration, the world of sword and magic, the battle between heaven and hell, the war between human heroes and evil monsters

, all of this should be related to content such as "Lord of the Rings" and "Dungeons and Dragons".

After entering the game, their feelings deepened.

The dark interface, blazing flames, and black main tone tell players that this is indeed inextricably linked to the dungeon.

Looking at the professions, warriors, mages, archers, and monks, each one corresponds to different main attributes, different methods of adding points, and different skill trees.

It is equipped with strength-type heavy armor, intelligence-type cloth armor, and balance-type light armor. The physical attack power is a similar area range of 10-20, and the magic has multiple elements such as fireballs and ice bombs.

Isn't all this just a demonstration of the desktop version of DND rules on PC?

Traditional European and American players who are proficient in DND rules are very addicted. It usually takes a few friends half a day to play a tabletop game. If it were not really fun and interesting, they would have abandoned this time-consuming and labor-intensive game. They would wait.

After how many years, I finally waited for a PC version of the DND masterpiece. What are you waiting for? Of course it’s fun to play it!

There are also some colleagues in the gaming industry who know the inside story. SSI is the only company authorized to adapt DND. SSI's "Dungeon War" game is the earliest version of the PC version of orthodox DND. I haven't heard that Longteng is also authorized. Their "Dungeon War"

"Diablo 1", what kind of game is it?

When everyone expressed doubts, the players understood the core of this game more and more deeply, and became addicted to it without knowing it. They felt sad for the misfortune of the Kane family, sad for the destruction of Tristram, and sad for the skeletons.

He lamented the king's fall and was angry at the cruelty of Diavolo and the archbishop.

After calming down, everyone was thinking, is this really a game with DND rules? Why would such an epic game that can be called a creation of history be suppressed?

Players are angry. Who wants to suppress this game?

On May 2, there was a long queue at the entrance of the Longteng Games flagship store in New York. Beyond the queue was a large group of organized young college students. Each of them held a wooden sign with two lines of large characters written on it: "Need

Games, refuse purchase restrictions!”
