Chapter 197 Large Game Activities

Lin You shook his head and shook the promotional issues of "John Wick" out of his mind.

It's too early to think about this now, there's no need.

"League of Assassins" is still very popular. What you should be thinking about now is striking while the iron is hot, rather than trying to compete with yourself.

Thinking of this, he looked at the operations team, "What's the current situation of "Assassin's League"?"

"It's very stable. From its release to now, it has firmly occupied the center position in the gaming circle. In terms of popularity alone, no game has had such high and stable popularity this year." Shen Ping, leader of the operations team, replied.

This girl also came with Fan Rui and others. However, Lin You was responsible for the promotion of previous games, so she had less room to play. Most of her energy was spent on leading the team to make trailers and promotional videos. Collect game data and public opinion dynamics.

Lin You also knows very well why he emphasizes "high and stable", because in the days before and after the release of "Fire 3", the popularity was also very explosive, attracting the attention of the entire player circle.

However, because the ending was too extreme, it quickly fell from its peak, its popularity plummeted, and it quickly fell out of the center of public opinion among players.

NetDragon is still working hard to fill this big hole.

"After all 8 million units of Mirage were sold out last Saturday, "League of Assassins" received 3.8 million new orders in a short period of time, and its cumulative sales have exceeded 15 million copies, reaching the top of the world record for major games. Yesterday, the congratulatory picture was posted Lingxi Hot Search.”

This is true, Lin You has also seen it.

Yesterday, the entire domestic gaming circle, from players to the media, was extremely excited.

Countless people are celebrating that "League of Assassins", a game produced by Daxia Games, has reached a world record in sales.

The most outrageous thing is that this amazing result was achieved without global sales and only relying on the domestic market in Daxia!

In other words, by the time Yunmeng is rolled out around the world, the sales of this game may even double!

Completely create an insurmountable mythical record!

Not only the game media reported their congratulations, but many non-game media also specially published articles to promote it.

——This is also a tradition of Daxia. No matter what field you were in before, as long as you become the strongest in the world and bring glory to Daxia, everyone will not be stingy in praising you.

Players also commented on Yunmeng's congratulatory pictures, basically following the format of "XX Province sends congratulatory messages", and people from all over the world sent congratulatory messages.

Lin You even saw comments like "Izumo sent a congratulatory message" and "Baekje sent a congratulatory message."

He also thought for a moment, wondering if Epic, the magical black man from Guantánamo, had sent a congratulatory message.

In the end, the players also spontaneously held a collective activity - went to the "RANK-Popular Game Rating List" and frantically gave "League of Assassins" perfect scores.

In one day, the rating of "League of Assassins" was raised by 0.3 to 8.9!

——Before this, as the game’s more open gameplay was discovered by players, the score had been slowly improving, from the initial 8.2 to 8.6.

And now, we are one step away from 9 points!

Shen Ping's report continued: "According to our estimates, if DLC is not launched or events are held, the popularity should slowly decline after one month, and quickly drop to one-fifth of the current level after two months. It will be stable for a long time after that.”

"So what is your suggestion?"

"Event!" Shen Ping said without hesitation, "This is also a common practice of major game manufacturers. Compared with the production of DLC, it can more effectively gather popularity and extend the life of the game. Moreover, successful events can be held periodically, and the price/performance ratio is more high."

"Very good." Lin You agreed, but changed his tone and said: "But there is no need to rush to hold the event. The game has only been released for more than a week. Many players have not cleared the main story yet. The event is too early. You can prepare first and let out some news. It’s okay, but don’t make it too clear, so as not to overwhelm the guest and cause the players to prepare for the game and not be in the mood to play the game.”

"No problem." Shen Ping agreed.

With Yunmeng's current manpower, if it wants to host an event, it really needs to prepare as early as possible.

Other major manufacturers have many years of development history, and have well-established personnel arrangements and event arrangements, so it is easier to organize.

But Yunmeng cannot do that. Although Yunmeng's size, capital, and market share have fully reached or even surpassed the major domestic game companies, it is ultimately limited by the short development time, less than two months!

Staff size, department formation, external contacts, cooperative brands, etc. are not sufficient. We must develop over time, extend our tentacles little by little, touch various fields, and establish cooperative relationships.

In this way, no matter what you do in the future, you will be able to do it with ease, and every effort will be very effective.

"Let's not talk about the competition for now. I have some specific ideas. Let's see what you think." Lin You asked everyone for advice seriously.

After all, he is a good player at playing games, but his experience in making games only started after he came here. He especially doesn’t know much about classification and scale, and he cannot compare with these industry veterans here.

Everyone looked at Lin You carefully.

In their minds, boss Lin You is a genius game producer that God is chasing after him. Things that he is not sure about are naturally worthy of attention.

Lin You said while thinking, "Compared with competitions, activities that can involve all players can actually arouse the enthusiasm of players, so I think we can do some activities periodically."

This is not a new method, but these methods are generally used in highly social online games. It is not that there are no events for stand-alone masterpieces, but the proportion is relatively small, and the scale is generally not large.

But the advantages of virtual reality games are too great. If you put such a big virtual city there, you can really do whatever you want.

If you watch Lin You think about the entire news program, he can finish it in one afternoon. This is simply impossible in a traditional PC game or VR game!

"One of my campaign ideas - [Human Purge Project]."

As soon as the name of this event was mentioned, everyone present immediately turned their backs. The look in Lin You's eyes changed, as if they had heard something extraordinary.

"We set a time period during which no matter what crime is committed, the metropolitan police will not be dispatched, freeing up an entire city as a battle space for players."

"Send invitations to all players, gather all those who are willing to participate in the event into a separate server, and have a battle royale - if there are too many people, you can also divide them into several servers. As the number of people decreases, Merge servers simultaneously until there is only one server left. And in this server, decide the final winner."

"Battle Royale..." Qin Songyun pursed his lips, feeling a little dry in the mouth, "Does it mean that all players will fight indiscriminately, and the only winner will be determined in the end?"

"It means that this is correct, but it does not mean that he must be the only winner."

Lin You added his own thoughts: "We can set the final number of winners. If there is not only one winner, then there will be unity and cooperation, alliances, betrayal, and all kinds of wonderful tactics.

It will definitely be interesting if we perform them one by one."

Qin Songyun opened his mouth to say something, then closed his mouth and organized his words before speaking again: "It's quite interesting, but the name of the event may have to be changed... otherwise there may be audit risks."
