Chapter 353: Glory of Kings Beta

Late at night, the imperial capital was quiet, and people who had been busy all day seemed to fall asleep with the city's sleep. At this moment, the moonlight outside the window is so charming, with a little deep atmosphere in the tranquility, and people are intoxicated unconsciously.

A few days ago, there was a light snow in the imperial capital, which made people feel that winter was indeed coming. Unconsciously, half a year has passed, and Jiang Hui feels that time is a little insufficient. Although the school intranet, Meituan.com, Tudou.com, and YY live broadcast all have their own general managers, Jiang Hui can't completely leave it alone, after all, only he knows the best development direction of these companies.

In order to realize his dream of "retiring at the age of 30", he has to work harder and harder now. During this time, Guanghui Film and Television and Tudou spent a lot of time on Jiang Hui, but fortunately, they also achieved very good results.

Jiang Hui, who was working overtime, sat at his desk and saw the email of the "Glory of Kings" internal test in the email, and Jiang Hui felt that he didn't seem to have paid attention to the Glory Game for a while. Since Bai Xue was appointed as the deputy general manager of Glorious Games, he gave Bai Xue guidance in the early days, and he really didn't care much about Glorious Games later.

Although Jiang Hui spends most of his time with Bai Xue in the Bauhinia Garden, he adheres to the agreement between Jiang Hui and Bai Xue - not to talk about work at home. All Jiang Hui really didn't know much about the latest progress of the glorious game under Bai Xue's leadership. I just took the opportunity of the "Glory of Kings" internal beta test to go to the office of Glorious Games by myself, and by the way, I chatted with Bai Xue about the company.

"Honor of Kings" was originally developed and operated by the Penguin game platform, a MOBA mobile game operating on Android and IOS platforms. MOBA stands for MOBA. Players are usually divided into two teams that compete against each other in scattered game maps, with each player controlling their chosen character through an RTS (real-time strategy game)-style interface. However, unlike traditional hardcore RTS games such as StarCraft, this type of game usually does not need to operate the organizational units such as buildings, resources, and training classes that are common in RTS games, and players only control the character they choose.

MOBA games are more inclined to casual entertainment than traditional RTS games, and the operation requirements for players are far lower than RTS games. In addition, many of these games are free-to-play, so it attracts a large number of players who are difficult to adapt to the large-scale and demanding operation of RTS games. Because the player's level of control is no longer too demanding, this player base is much larger than the hardcore leaning of traditional RTS games.

"Honor of Kings" game is a dota-like mobile game, the gameplay in the game is mainly competitive battles, players carry out 1V1, 3V3, 5V5 and other ways of PVP (PVP refers to the player-to-player battle, such as what we often say PK, battlefield, siege warfare, etc.) battle, you can also participate in the game's adventure mode, PVE (PVE and that is, the player and the environment battle, refers to the player in the game to challenge the NPC monsters and bosses controlled by the game program) After meeting the conditions, you can participate in the game's annual qualifying tournament and so on.

Considering that the original "Honor of Kings" was a mobile game, and the current mobile phones are still Nokia's brick machines, netizens can only play games through computers. Therefore, when Jiang Hui planned "Honor of Kings", he made some corrections to many settings to better meet the needs of computer battles.

The background of the game of "Honor of Kings" is also very interesting. In infinite time and space, the torrent of time converges on the same continent. Tricks and demons are wreaking havoc, turning the world beyond recognition. Heroes, those familiar names, come together incrediblely. Leaving behind the glory of the past, following ambitions and desires, seeking power as they please, and even chasing and killing each other. And behind one legend after another, the figure of the summoner appears and disappears from time to time, yes, they are the real creators of history, survival or destruction, war, it seems that there is no end. Around these contents, Jiang Hui added some interesting settings on the basis of "Honor of Kings" in his previous life, based on the characteristics of the computer version of the online game.

At the same time, considering that the accounts of companies such as Guanghui Group's intranet, Tudou, and Guanghui Games have been interconnected, the users of Zhenge Group include almost all netizens. In order to make the most of this point, Jiang Hui strengthened the friend system of "Honor of Kings".

The friend system is a platform for players to communicate and team up to play, through the friend system, on the one hand, players can add other players as their friends in the game, and on the other hand, they can invite other friends to play games together through their own school intranet, Tudou and other associated accounts.

Players can quickly ask their friends to form a team through the friend system when competing, and friends often form teams to compete with each other to accumulate intimacy, and after the intimacy meets certain conditions, players can establish relationships such as friends and couples. The corresponding to friends is the blacklist, and players who are added to the blacklist cannot compete in a team. Players' performance in "Honor of Kings" will be ranked and displayed in the friend system, which fully enhances the player's sense of honor and can also better stimulate players to invest in RMB to purchase props.

Korn Ferry Games now has 256 full-time employees and 93 interns, except for half of the staff who are maintaining and upgrading the operating browser games such as "Happy Farm", "Fishing Game", and "Plants vs. Zombies", the other more than 100 people have been engaged in the development and testing of "Honor of Kings".

Although Korn Ferry Games has gained a firm foothold in the web game world, it is still a newcomer to online games. The demand for online games in the Celestial Empire has been very strong in recent years, but most of the profits have been taken away by several large online game companies such as Shengda Network and Ninth City, and the living space of small game companies is not as good as everyone thinks.

Needless to say, before Penguin went public, he was the Internet company with the highest market value in the Celestial Empire, and Boss Chen of Shengda Network even became the richest man in the Celestial Empire for a time.

As for the Ninth City, in April 2004, it acquired the exclusive distribution rights of the world's top game, Blizzard's World of Warcraft (O), in the Celestial Empire for $13 million, and once surpassed Shengda Network to become the center of players' attention. On December 15, 2004, Ninth City was officially listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, becoming the ninth and last Celestial Empire company to be listed on the NASDAQ that year. City Nine opened at $19 on the first day, beating the previously announced offering price of $17 and closed at $21, $4 above the offering price, an increase of 23.53%, and the final IPO proceeds for City Nine was $103 million. Just a few days ago, Ninth City also announced a strategic alliance partnership with Coca-Cola Celestial Empire.

Guanghui Games wants to grab meat to eat in the bowl of Shengda Network and Ninth City, and it is not possible to make adequate preparations.
