Chapter 37: The Eternal Legend
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Youcai, director of operations of Shengda, was still in the conference room of Shengda Company. Although it is the time for "Eternal Legend" to be officially launched to www.biquge.info the market for charging, he is not in a hurry at all, because he knows the company's promotion ability and effect.
Since he acted as an agent for "Legend of Blood", he feels that many things are not so difficult, let alone a small Star City start-up, or an old game company such as Kingsoft Xishanju Studio, he has never been afraid.
"Xiaohou, the "Eternal Legend" represented by Shengda Company is about to log in, what kind of broken game are you kid still playing."
"Brother Rong, I probably won't be able to play "Eternal Legend" with you, I found that I have developed feelings for "War of the Three Kingdoms" that I am playing now."
“...... Xiaohou, didn't you say yes? Everyone plays "Eternal Legends" together, and a dormitory must play a game together to have fun. ”
"It's all to blame on Shengda Company, who let them start the service at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I just wanted to find a game to pass the time before, and I saw on a player forum that "War of the Three Kingdoms" also happened to be officially launched today, and I listened to the introduction on the forum that this game has its own characteristics, and it is independently developed, so I came in. ”
"As a result, you know, I've been playing since 11 o'clock in the morning, and it's really good, I think you can also come over and experience it, how good it is for everyone to play the Three Kingdoms game together."
"Is it really as good as you say? If you dare to lie to me, you will be responsible for going downstairs to get dinner this month. ”
This is a scene that takes place in a college dormitory, where at least two more players have become loyal players of the Three Kingdoms game.
However, this will not have any impact on Shengda Company at all, because judging from the games they represented in their previous lives, only the game itself can destroy them.
Judging from the data effect on the first day of the test, the attraction of "Eternal Legend" represented by Shengda Company is still far better than Wu Kang's "War of the Three Kingdoms" of his company. "Eternal Legend" opened four sets of servers on the same day, while "War Three Kingdoms" only had one.
"Mr. Chen, how is the data of the game "Eternal Legend" today?" R&D director Zhou Qing came to Chen Youcai's office in the evening to learn about today's situation.
"Mr. Zhou, you don't want to ask about the data of the game "Eternal Legend", but you want to inquire about the data of "War of the Three Kingdoms". Rest assured, unless their game is of good quality, if they want to catch up with us with their operations, we recommend that they give up on this idea. Chen Youcai was watching a movie in the office at this time, and game operations like this were a very common thing for him.
"Of course, if you look at the whole country, no game company dares to argue with us, let alone a small start-up. I'm just here to care about our game. "Zhou Qing is not too busy with his work in the company now, and the project of his R&D team is nearing completion, but he is still worried about the last two trips to Star City.
After that, Zhou Qing walked out of the office, Chen Youcai felt that this R&D director was too cowardly, and he couldn't even handle a small entrepreneurial team, and he had to ask himself about the difference between the game data here and the other party's game, which was really incomprehensible.
On Wu Kang's company's side, at 11 o'clock in the evening, several people were still eating supper in the conference room, and they were in full swing. So far, the game's stats have been relatively stable, up a bit from the last test.
However, under the impact of Shengda Company, the number of online players in the game can maintain a good and stable state, which is already a big victory for Wu Kang's company.
"Today was really frightening, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I thought we were going to have a lower drop in the number of people playing online. In those few minutes when I saw the number of people online start to drop in the single digits, I thought our game was going to ...... I can't even imagine what it was like, but luckily it only lasted a few minutes. Wu Kang remembered the scene in the afternoon, and the three of them looked at the scene when the data changed, a little funny and a little lucky.
The collision between Wu Kang's Yanzhi Software Development Co., Ltd. and Shengda Company is not a match of equal strength, both in the industry and outside the industry. Even more people think that how can they talk about such a topic, it is obviously a contest between an ant and an elephant, and they don't need to pay attention to it at all.
For Wu Kang, this is a battle that must be faced, even if the other party is Blizzard Entertainment, they can't sit still. However, no matter how hard you try and how many posts you make on the player's forum, you can still be nervous at this time, because you don't know if your efforts will pay off.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Wei, as the director of operations, even sweated his palms, and he could better understand the gap between his company and the other party in terms of strength. If Jian Hao didn't come, it can be said that there was no chance at all, and what can be expected now is that the quality of the game will be recognized by players.
"It's really enjoyable, it's like riding a roller coaster, closing your eyes, tidying up your heart, and finally landing smoothly. I'll tell you the truth, I've been sleeping after 3 o'clock at night for the past few days, and I can't sleep at the thought of what I'm going to do if we fail. I guess I'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight. "Li Wei, the director of operations, has already eaten all the food in the lunch box at this time, and his appetite is not very good at noon, so he hasn't eaten anything, and he doesn't feel a little hungry until now.
"Anyway, I can't sleep, just two words now, excited. Our game is finally available for a fee, and I'm even starting to fantasize about what I'm going to do with the money in the future. Fan Zhiyi also stayed in the operation department all day, and the work of his art department has basically been completed, and if he is still busy, he will basically have to wait until the next version.
Throughout the afternoon, except for a short stay in the operations department and showing his head, he basically stayed in Wu Kang's office, writing about his editor's needs. He wanted to write his first game faster, although a large part of "War Three Kingdoms" was his own effort, but this feeling was completely different.
In fact, in Jian Hao's view, at a point in time like 2003, there will be no losers in the final competition between Yanzhi Software Development Co., Ltd. and Shengda Company. Because the two companies have different understandings of victory, the Flame Team Software Development Co., Ltd. can guarantee that a stable number of servers is victory, and for Shengda Company, it is at least several times the result.
