Chapter 232: The Manuscript Left by Lindy
In mid-January, the first game of the Huaxia Game Alliance, "Pocket Tank", was officially launched, in this game, there are many shadows of "Crazy Birds", players can adjust the angle of the tank barrel, change the type of shell, and can shoot at the enemy building at the other end of the screen.
However, the game has also added new content, players can get gold coins through clearing the level, buy, upgrade their own tanks, shells and other equipment, this alone, greatly increases the playability of "Pocket Tank", plus the game introduces a player battle mode, which makes the game of "Pocket Tank" far more intersecting than "Crazy Birds".
The most shocking thing is that this game, which has excellent graphics, gameplay, and innovation, is completely free!
Zhu Rui also said before that the game might be priced at 100 yuan, but he didn't expect that when it was actually launched, it was actually free, and this news instantly detonated the game circle.
Only 3 hours after the game was launched, the number of downloads of "Pocket Tank" quickly jumped to the first place in the major APP game stores!
Such a game is actually a free-to-play game, no need for point cards, and there is no "in-app purchase" that has not yet appeared in this world, so you can imagine how enthusiastic players are to download it.
The major media reports on this game were overwhelming in an instant.
"Pocket Tank, an epoch-making mobile game, mobile games have truly entered the free-to-play era!"
"The Huaxia Game Alliance is expected to break the long-term monopoly of New World Games in the video game market, and "Pocket Tank" combines the strengths of each company and triggers a national download. ”
"Pocket Tank surpassed 25 million downloads on the first day, and it is widely believed in the industry that this game will break the download record set by Crazy Birds not long ago. ”
"How big is the impact of "Pocket Tank"? It directly led to the first decline in the sales of Ruiyi mobile phones that New World participated in the research and development. ”
Sitting in the office, Qian Lai frowned.
There is no nonsense in the report, Ruiyi's sales have indeed declined in the past month.
Taking a deep breath, Qian Lai put his hands on his forehead.
If a mobile phone manufacturer poses a threat to Ruiyi, then the money can still think of a way, but it is actually a mobile game, which makes Ruiyi's sales decline, which makes him find someone. There's no way he's going to add download channels for other games to Rainbow.
Yan Xuan sat opposite Qian Lai, looking at Qian Lai's helpless appearance, and no longer thought about arguing with Qian Lai.
"Money comes, it can't go on like this, we all know that the free at the beginning is actually to accumulate popularity, and once they accumulate popularity, the status of the new world will be seriously threatened. ”
"I know. Qian Lai replied in a deep voice.
What players see is that the game is free, but what Qian Lai and Yan Xuan see is indeed a whole set of marketing strategies.
"We still have NG in May, and this NG is very important, if the game alliance is allowed to develop, I'm afraid even NG will be affected. ”
There is no need for Yan Xuan to say this, Qian Lai also knows, whether it is NG, it can be said that the reason why all the businesses of New World are smooth sailing now is because of New World's unshakable position in the game market, once this position is shaken, even the entire industrial chain of New World will be seriously affected.
But the problem is, Lindy can't be found at all now.
"Boss Interstellar 2 will not be launched until the end of January and the beginning of February, and the boss has not launched any games during this time, and New World is really very passive. Lindy clenched her hands into fists.
At this time, it is the best time to fight Tianyu, but if there is a fire in the backyard, what is there to talk about eating Tianyu!
Things seem to be going in a worse direction.
On January 20th, QQ's 3D fighting game "Boxing", at the same time, QQ Games opened the first QQ offline game experience store in H City, in the experience store, QQ launched the first independent research and development of the arcade "Supreme", on this arcade machine, the picture of "Boxing" has been greatly improved, according to the media, Boxing's arcade experience, can be compared to the new world "VR Warrior"!
Immediately afterwards, Daewoo Electronics' 3D fighting game "Sword and Sword", Lianzhong Chess's 3D fighting game "Five Elements Hegemony", Shicheng's "Future Fighting" and other 3D fighting games have been launched one after another.
These game makers seem to have calculated the time to launch their own 3D fighting game that has been in development for a year before the launch of New World Star 2.
Open the market with "Pocket Tank", win word-of-mouth, popularity, and then launch high-level 3D fighting, arcade machine, I have to say, this series of actions, the results are very good.
In terms of foreign markets, with the successful experience of QQ games, many national game manufacturers have begun to implement the "alliance".
"The United States UK Gaming Alliance was officially established. ”
"The Japan Sakata Game Alliance was officially established. ”
"The Russian Black Hand Game League was officially formed. ”
reported one after another, making Qian Lai and others suddenly feel that they were being attacked on their backs.
New World, you are not half of the game, the absolute hegemon, then all of us united, can you continue to dominate the global video game market alone?
In particular, the major foreign game manufacturers have been committed to the development of various types of large-scale games for a long time, and the major game alliances have launched games with a considerable level of quality after the exchange of technology and creativity, and without exception, the first games launched by these alliances are all loss-making and popular, all free games!
Under the siege of global game manufacturers, the sales of the classic masterpiece "StarCraft 2" were not very good.
Coming back from O City, he had just snatched the land from Wang Hanmin, who was almost about to run away, and Qian Lai's face did not have the joy he should have, and even the dinner with the director of the Construction Bureau of O City, Qian Lai pushed it on the grounds of physical discomfort.
Back in Z City, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and the whole building was dark, only two or three offices were still lit.
On the fourteenth floor, Qian Lai lit a cigarette while looking at the report on the computer screen.
In fact, Qian Lai doesn't smoke much, but he likes to squat in front of the boss's old garage like two little deflated three, smoking cigarettes and chatting.
At that time, the new world was difficult, the boss was still a soft-hearted guy, and the yin person had to hesitate to go.
However, at that time, he never doubted the future of the new world, he had faith in himself, and he had faith in the boss.
But now, when the new world has developed into a behemoth, he doesn't know what to do, which is rarely seen in his tens of thousands of actual battles in the system world.
"We still want to engage in Tianyu, and now we ourselves are all miserable. Qian Lai stood up and looked out the window at the dark night.
Standing tall may not be able to see far, at least when the money comes, you can't see anything.
"Boss, where the hell are you!"
On the twelfth floor of the Qimeng Building, among the few offices that are still lit, there is Han Cheng's office.
This is the third night Han Cheng has worked overtime.
In front of the computer, Han Cheng's eyes were red.
"It's almost done, hurry, Han Cheng! Hurry up, if I can't help the new world through this difficulty, what face will I Han Cheng have to see the boss!"
In front of Han Cheng's computer, there were five or six pieces of stationery in a mess, and after editing on the computer for a while, Han Cheng picked up a piece of manuscript paper at hand and looked at it carefully.
"What's the matter, the boss's character is so sloppy for Mao!I used to be a doctor, what about prescriptions!?"
The boss's handwriting? This manuscript paper was actually written by Lindy?
