In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

#63 - Second bug solution

"Why is it Shuo Feng's interactive scene??"

"Am I, Fei Yun, not worthy?"

"Night clinic, isn't the little nurse Fei Yun appealing??"

Fang Shuo repeatedly voiced his grievances for Fei Yun.

"You don't even give her an interactive scene, and Fei Yun doesn't even get a new outfit?"

"You guys are simply too much!!"

Some water friends, unsure whether they were just there for the fun or genuinely liked Fei Yun, also joined in the uproar:

"That's right, that's right, what did Xiao Nan Niang do to you?!"

After such indignant complaints for quite a while, the live stream finally quieted down and entered a serious topic—

"Brother B, any comments?"

"Yeah, yeah, this [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] looks pretty awesome!"

"Why do I really want to play it!"

… …

But Fang Shuo didn't respond.

He quickly closed 《Special Elite》, which he hadn't played for half a day, and instead opened 《Frost Snow Project》.

While pre-downloading the full 8GB of update content, he logged into the game.

After entering the game, without saying a word, he immediately started drawing cards!

The water friends were all stunned:

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"That's the permanent pool! Who are you trying to get?"

"I know that Zhu Meng making this Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt makes you very excited, but it's not enough to directly send money to Zhu Meng, right?"

… …

Fang Shuo explained while drawing cards: "Haven't you guys realized it yet?"

"In their new map, only two new characters can be used for free trials."

"The rest, you have to use your own characters."

"If you haven't unlocked the illustration book, then you can't use them!"

"I still have four characters that I haven't unlocked yet!"

After Fang Shuo said this, everyone belatedly reacted—

No wonder Zhu Meng made such a big update, but didn't charge a single penny more, and actively restricted whales and tried to create a fair competitive environment…

So this is what they were waiting for?

This live stream is mostly for FPS veterans, and there are really not many people with complete illustration books.

Even the four current UP characters in the UP pool, many people haven't collected them all yet!

What's more, some people are already wailing in the barrage:

"I haven't even downloaded the 《Frost Snow Project》 client!"

"Wonderful, directly use Legendary Investigators to enter the battle!"

"Wait, can the protagonist participate in the competition?? It would be a joke if they couldn't enter."

… …

"OK! Huo Huo acquired! Awesome!"

F2P players quickly recharged monthly cards, logged into the game and started livering the main storyline and treasure chests to accumulate liquid gold for card draws.

The player online rate and mall revenue, which had already stabilized, took off again!

Like Zhang Siming, these players who only played 《Frost Snow Project》 as a side game saw the gameplay PV and update announcement a little later, but soon they also began to draw cards excitedly.

That night, I don't know how many people angrily emptied the liquid gold in their accounts.

— Being able to live within your means and plan ahead for card pools is a skill that gacha gamers have honed through experience, not single-player gamers.

Many single-player game players who have just entered the big pit of gacha games have no awareness of this at all.

What they play is immediate feedback.

— I don't even know how long I can play, maybe I will drop out next week or even tomorrow, what's the point of saving so many resources?

Isn't that tiring?

This is not a bad thing, when you want to have fun, you can have fun on the spot.

If you really drop out, there are no sunk costs, and you won't regret it too much.

As for the negative effects…

It's just like now, you may suddenly be short of resources.

So either accept it, or…

"Payment channel—activate!"

Zhang Siming and Fang Shuo streamed their in-game purchases.

Huan Yue fantasized about putting a ring on his wife and wearing a wedding dress.

The heroic sniper was preparing for the [Explosive Clothes Guide 002] for Bohr and Vivian, while guessing the new costumes of Bai Wei and Huo Huo, and whether the future wedding dress skins could be 'exploded'.

Everyone had their own excitement, all excited and looking forward to the next day's update.

—

The friendly competitors in the industry felt very different.

Compared to the players' excitement, they were more confused.

Fei Zhiyuan was the first to bear the brunt, his mind full of question marks.

The first thing he thought of was not even the matter of 《Frost Snow Project》 occupying the market and squeezing the living space of 《Project X》.

He just felt that he couldn't understand—

This [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] gameplay PV, should be made into a new game no matter how you look at it.

Even a new game that exceeds the boundaries of the gacha game world, with quite amazing gameplay and the potential to explode!

As a result, Zhu Meng casually stuffed it into 《Frost Snow Project》 as a permanent event?

Simply a waste of natural resources!!

Only a psychopath could do such a thing!

What's even more outrageous is, how long did it take them to make such a complex gameplay?

Half a month?

Impossible!

Then, a month and a half?

Still outrageous!

They are also gacha game companies, why is their production capacity several times higher than Moyu Games?

Could it be that Moyu Games is full of slackers who are slacking off!?

Should the company's discipline be rectified?

Facing this huge production capacity gap, Fei Zhiyuan became more and more angry as he thought about it.

The satisfaction brought by the smooth promotion of 《Project X》 before quickly dissipated, leaving only dissatisfaction with his subordinates—

They all get the same salary, why is your work efficiency so much lower than Zhu Meng?

Why can Zhu Meng make such a novel gameplay, but you can't?

"Ke Jun!" Fei Zhiyuan shouted loudly for his assistant.

"Notify the leaders of each group of the 《Mirror World Story》 project team to hold a small meeting!"

It's only been half an hour past get off work time, it's impossible not to find anyone.

All of you come over for a meeting!

… …

Other gacha game manufacturers did not have such tit-for-tat hostility, but they had the same confusion.

From top to bottom, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Zhu Meng's employees have received greetings from colleagues, former colleagues, and old friends:

"Damn, are you guys human?"

"No, buddy, do you have to be so competitive?"

"Are you crazy? Have you been sleeping in the last half month?"

"I already have a premonition that I will be scolded by the boss, if you don't treat me to a meal, this matter will not pass."

"That, the referral thing will be put on hold first, I'm afraid I can't keep up with your overtime rhythm…"

"In such a short period of time, making such a big project, aren't you worried about bugs?"

… …

Of course, Zhu Meng's employees are worried!

They are almost worried to death!

Before, 《Frost Snow Project》 had so many bugs even with normal updates, this time the gameplay is so out of the ordinary, so many new things, it would be a ghost if there were no bugs!

Today, several employees in the program department surrounded Xu Meng and asked: "Boss, should we find a special effects team again and prepare to burn someone in advance?"

Xu Meng immediately shook his head vigorously.

"You don't know, the day the burning man special effects were broadcast live, the police came to my house that night."

"Ah?" The employees were shocked.

"Ah, what? People told me that if it weren't for the government's policy of taking care of private entrepreneurs, they would have run to the company to criticize and educate me."

Everyone was a little disappointed, and they worshiped the gods more devoutly.

— One-third of the program department's employees have all kinds of "divine positions" posted or placed on their work stations.

However, just after the video was released, they were suddenly notified by the leader to collect clothes.

Everyone came to the first floor of the company inexplicably.

A large group of people had already gathered here, and the administrative department's employees were distributing suits to the employees who were queuing in front of a large pile of clothes.

Even the leadership was no exception.

When distributing it, they repeatedly repeated: "This is a prop, the quality is average, don't mind."

Everyone was confused and asked why they were wearing suits?

Xu Meng stood in front of the crowd and smiled without saying a word.

Until the clothes were distributed, Xu Meng asked everyone to make way and set up the camera.

Then, in everyone's puzzled eyes, he called on the leaders of each department to stand in a row in front of the camera together.

Xu Meng was in the middle.

Behind the camera, the little assistant raised his hand and counted down:

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

Xu Meng looked serious: "We have let down the trust and expectations of our player friends."
