Chapter 684: Super Platinum Level Game is born
Rao is Counter-Strike's sales performance has gradually improved, and Tianxing Game Company, together with the Huaxia headquarters, has a total of hundreds of employees, but they still dare not relax in the slightest, and continue to do a good job in the operation and maintenance of the game after it is launched.
In particular, Li Ming, a game technology maniac, not only tracked the game development work during the day, but also did not forget to participate in the interactive discussions with gamers in the forum at night, which greatly drove the discussion of Counter-Strike on the forum.
As the saying goes, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
As the attention and popularity of Counter-Strike continues to rise, StarCraft, which was extremely popular earlier, has naturally disappeared.
After the cyber trolls hired by Skywalker Games stopped building momentum, the momentum of Counter-Strike on the forum increased instead of decreasing.
Blizzard Entertainment.
Allen, as the CEO, is very satisfied with the results and reaction of StarCraft after it went public.
To his surprise, despite the competition of another Counter-Strike game, his StarCraft performance not only did not suffer in the slightest, but had a tendency to break the company's best performance record.
It's all up to your peers!
So, Alan decided to hold a celebration party.
Although it is ahead of schedule, it is certain that 1 million units will be sold in three months according to the current performance trend.
In that case, what's the harm in celebrating early?
With this decision in mind, Alan walked out of his office and headed to the game development department to make the announcement.
Unlike domestic boss inspections, most of the foreigner leaders are very easy-going.
Therefore, when I go to the subordinate departments to inspect, I often don't get the employees below to be soldiers.
In this way, Alan silently walked to the game development department, nodding to the subordinates he met with a smile on his face along the way. Just a long way away from the game development department, I heard a strange cry from there.
“go go go!”
“fire in the hole!”
“Cover me!”
Puzzled, Alan quietly walked to the door of the game development department, and looked around, and saw that the computers of the development staff were all pictures of Counter-Strike games.
The well-made graphics, the highly realistic gunplay weapons and equipment, and even the decorative design of each of the game's characters are brought to life.
It's no wonder that so many of his subordinates are so immersed in it that they can't extricate themselves, so that they don't even know that they appear behind them.
Of course, Alan will not go online with his subordinates because of this little thing.
Internally, Blizzard Entertainment allows and supports this kind of experience of other games in order to encourage innovation.
It wasn't long before someone finally noticed Allen's arrival.
One by one, the developers quit or paused the game and looked over to Allen.
Alan smiled and said, "Today I'm mainly here to tell you that our StarCraft game has been a huge success since it was launched. According to the current trend, it is destined to surpass the best results in history. So I decided to hold a celebration party tonight to thank everyone for their efforts and contributions to the wonderful StarCraft game!"
There was a chorus of cheers below.
Champagne, wine, and party are their favorites.
This form is relaxation and rest in the true sense.
After finishing business, Alan immediately asked, as if casually, "I wonder how everyone feels about the game Counter-Strike?
This is not a fishing Q&A, so the following people answered very enthusiastically and without scruples.
"I think this game is great, onderful!"
"The scene is real, the design is attentive, and the experience is great!"
"It's all shooters, but it's much better than the beachfront and island defense games, and I think Counter-Strike is in the details, like we're actually fighting. ”
Alan discussed with his subordinates for a long time and found that everyone also had rave reviews for this game of Counter-Strike.
When I returned to my office, I immediately called my secretary and instructed, "Collect sales data for Counter-Strike games immediately, I want to see it before I leave work!"
The slightly blessed female secretary immediately turned around and went to do it.
At this time, Alan couldn't help but think of the Huaxia kid who let go of his cruel words with himself.
Sure enough, now it's really for him to make achievements in the game industry. It seems that he really underestimated him at the beginning.
Towards the end of the day, Alan got the latest data from the secretary.
The sales performance of StarCraft and Counter-Strike in the past ten days has become two curves, showing the performance growth trend and future trend of the two games at a glance.
Alan gestured with his finger and said, "So, by the end of this week, Counter-Strike's sales performance will catch up with our StarCraft?"
The female secretary nodded, "Boss, I'm afraid so." ”
"What a genius!" Alan couldn't help but sigh.
Even StarCraft's game development engineers have rave reviews of Counter-Strike.
And the praise on the international gamer forums, not to mention.
At the same time, Allen's expectations were also good, and by the third weekend after the game's release, Counter-Strike's sales performance had successfully caught up with the platinum-level StarCraft.
Not only that, but Counter-Strike's growth is still strong, while StarCraft's growth has stabilized and flattened.
This means that the sales performance of Counter-Strike will have more room for growth than StarCraft.
On the way back to the villa in Irvine after work, Shi Qianxue has been excitedly discussing and looking forward.
"Since our Counter-Strike is likely to surpass StarCraft in the future, does that mean that our game is a super platinum-level production?"
Wu Tao didn't disappoint the fun, but nodded with a smile and said: "Sort of, but Blizzard Entertainment's game production experience and team strength are still much stronger than us." ”
"Then I don't care!" Shi Qianxue relaxed beautifully, showing her beautiful body curves and said: "The project has finally succeeded, and it is not in vain that this girl has not slept well for so many nights." By the way, isn't it time to honor the reward you promised me?"
Wu Tao leaned back, spread his hand and said: "It's still early before the dust settles, isn't it too early to cash it out now?
Saying this, Shi Qianxue really hesitated.
The more success is within reach, the more cautious one becomes.
The car stopped in front of the villa garage, Wu Tao got out of the car, saw the lights on next door, remembered the April Fool's Day joke some time ago, and then Shi Shiran came to the door of the villa next door and pressed the doorbell.
A moment later, a middle-aged maid came over and opened the door, leading Wu Tao to the study.
When I came to the end of the corridor, I saw a spacious and bright luxurious study. Molly was sitting in front of the computer in cool clothes, staring intently at the monitor.
And the speaker next to it is coming at this time, "fire in the hole!"
