I don't understand. He Qingyan rubbed Xianxian's head and let her watch the cartoon alone, she stood up and went to the living room to ask about this matter in detail.

She doesn't have the player's mindset that Wang lives up to. But this male employee who called to report to her should have. He Qingyan wanted to ask, because she felt that such a high pre-sale volume must have some kind of hidden danger.

For the game itself, He Qingyan doesn't know much about it. But she knows the truth of "boom and bus". Through accumulation, Wang Bucheng has made an amazing noise, making players pay money to buy this game.

Players have already high expectations for the game, and after paying real money, the sense of expectation must be higher. Only by coming up with a work quality that is equal to, or even exceeds, their expectations, can Wang Bucheng satisfy players.

He Qingyan asked: "Do you think this game can satisfy the current seven million players?" ”

"Mr. He, I don't know what the great god thinks. But I'll give you my own opinion...... I feel dangerous. The employee told the truth.

The pre-sale has a huge number of days, and everyone is scared. It's very simple, if there is a sidewalk with a white line on it, as long as you are careful, anyone can easily step on the white line. However, if that white line is erected in the air, there is an abyss underneath, and if you fall down, you will definitely die, but it is easy to fall.

It's the same now. If Celadon Technology usually makes a game and releases it after it is done, it is a white line drawn on the ground. It's okay to go crooked, it's a matter of earning more and earning less, and everyone has confidence in their hearts.

Pre-sales are available. It's like floating in the air. The more it sells, the higher it floats, making people sweat in their hearts, as if walking a tightrope.

He Qingyan hurriedly asked: "Is it too much time for a month?" ”

She thought that Wang Bu had set the release time of the game a long time ago, and there might be problems.

The employee quickly said, "It's not about game bugs, cheating, or quality of service. It's a game that is inherently difficult to satisfy all players. ”

He then explained the truth to He Qingyan in detail.

You must know that China's player base is not monolithic. Middle school students, college students, small staff, self-employed. When, how often, how these people play. All have a big difference. The gameplay is convenient for some, and for others, it's hard to get used to.

It's like Counter-Strike, a thrilling game. But it is not suitable for self-employed people who set up stalls in Yiwu Commodity City. Although they have nets. There is a computer, there is a lot of time.

Customers who come to ask for prices often come every 20 minutes or half an hour. But once the guests came. You have to stop the game at hand and concentrate on receiving customers. Otherwise, you will have no money to earn and no food to eat.

But this kind of battle game, once you leave someone, you can't keep up with it when you come back. How much will lead to a detrimental gaming experience.

As a result, they can only play single-player games that can be paused at any time, or light online games.

Compared to self-employed, company employees play games in a different way. If the company employee played the game in the way of self-employment, he would definitely be fired from the company on the same day.

In the past, Celadon Technology first used trial games to let players know what the game was all about. Most players understand how to play before deciding whether to buy multiplayer or just play free-to-play single-player games.

But now there are eight million players who have pre-ordered Air Combat Vanguard. They didn't know if the game was suitable for them, so they just bought it. Plus the expectations are so high, so it's easy to have problems.

He Qingyan was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Can you give a better example?" ”

The employee on duty thought for a while and said, "Downstairs in my house, there is a young man who drove a van to deliver goods. He was looking forward to playing Air Combat Pioneer and told me the other day that he wanted to buy a pre-order for Air Combat Vanguard. But the problem is that he usually has to run outside for two or three days before he can find time to go to the Internet café for three or four hours. His experience with this game will be very poor. It's likely that ten dollars have been spent in vain. ”

The staff on duty carefully analyzed the problems that the young man on duty would encounter. Once he went online in two or three days, his game progress lagged behind other players. Spending only three or four hours at an internet café meant limited playtime, and there was a long wait time in Air Combat Vanguard. You can only play a few, or at most a dozen battle reports, and the fun of the game is not much.

It's not that fun to play, and it's growing far behind the players who can "go up two or three minutes every hour". Under the double setback, the young man's attitude towards this game and even celadon technology may change.

Adding firewood to a flame will only slowly make the fire burn stronger. But if you pour a basin of water, the fire is extinguished, and it is difficult to light it again.

Through this example, He Qingyan understood the core problem.

Unless Wang Bu Bu comes up with a game that surprises everyone, it will always disappoint a small number of people. Will he be able to take it? He Qingyan is king, and he is not worried.

……

Everyone else was nervous. Only the king lived up to his composure. It's time to eat, it's time to sleep, and when I get home, I can't see any nervousness. An Ruo Taishan and Xia Ci get along.

In the past few days when Wang returned to China ahead of schedule, he had nothing to do at home. Xia Ci is preparing for the high school entrance examination recently. Although she has skipped high school and entered college directly after the summer vacation, she still has to prepare seriously for the high school entrance examination.

At night, calmly, Wang Buyi and Xia Ci were doing their own things in a room. Life doesn't have to be a daily encounter. From time to time, Wang Buyi heard the sound of Xia Ci flipping the scroll, and felt that it was good now.

He glanced at the time in the bottom right of the computer, it was nine o'clock. So I went and poured two glasses of milk and put them in the microwave. Then look at the two cups next to each other, spinning and turning in the microwave.

Xia Ci heard the sound and also ran to the kitchen. Standing next to Wang Buyi with a smile, he put his head on his arm and watched the cup spin together.

Xia Ci doesn't use perfume, but she has an intoxicating aroma on her. Wang Bu turned his head sideways and looked at Xia Ci's head, it was really incredible, he never thought that he would take care of a person so meticulously, and get unimaginable joy from it.

It's really nice to be able to meet Xia Porcelain. Basically, every few days, Wang Buyi thinks of this sentence.

Both of them looked at the microwave in silence, as if two glasses were turning next to each other. With a "ding" sound, the milk is warm.

"Come on." Wang Buyi took out a cup, handed it to Xia Ci, and asked, "Can you get some biscuits for you?" ”

"I'm not hungry today." Xia Ci shook his head and took a small sip of milk from his cup. It's too hot.

Wang Buyi asked casually and stopped talking. He watched Xia Ci drink milk, and he smiled and groaned.

……

On the first day of the opening of pre-sales, the total pre-sale sales were 8.5 million. Players voted for it, and for the sake of the game, which led to such amazing pre-sale sales.

Sales are both incentives and pressures. From He Qingyan to new employees, they all know what such a number represents.

This is a tightrope walk, and any mistake that disappoints the player will greatly damage the credibility of Celadon Technology.

However, can the mini-game "Air Combat Pioneer" really satisfy all players?

Wang was not worried. His work was not disrupted in the slightest, and he proceeded exactly according to the rhythm.

According to the scheduled pace, the internal test of "Air Combat Vanguard" should be carried out in the Celadon Building today. Sure enough, after Wang Bucheng arrived at the company, he opened the internal server. Let the whole building of people act as testers for this game.

This Yu-Gi-Oh has been playing for a long time, and there is nothing new. The best way to destroy a game is to cheat. Wang Buful's previous games were all versions of the test gameplay, and everything was realized by clicking on it. Quickly achieve what is expected to take half a year to achieve.

After a few times, Wang Bu has learned the game well, but the fun that can be obtained from playing this game has been exhausted.

He still entered the game, mainly to see if the waiting time of the game was set reasonably. What the employees are worried about, Wang Buyi also took into account.

At present, the most important place for players to operate is to let players assemble their own fighters for different enemies. When the fighters are dispatched, they need to wait for the countdown to end. During this time, the player will be able to do something else.

As a mini-game, Wang Buyi does not plan to fill the waiting time with other ways to play at the moment.

The main target group of this game is self-employed and corporate employees. These people have computers at hand and have a lot of time to spare. Waiting for customers, waiting for phone calls, and other materials, this kind of time that is difficult to be used effectively is full of those people's work.

It's not the same as an Internet café user. Players who play games in Internet cafes have a relatively complete game time. But the time to go to the Internet café cannot be fixed, and it cannot be stably launched at a certain time.

Wang Bufu divides the current players into two categories according to the difference in game style. Those who play games on their work computers and those who play games on their Internet café computers. The proportion of home computer users is not very high, and the mode of playing games is similar to that of Internet café players, counting together.

A good game can often find a balance between those two types of players. But more games are deliberately catering to a certain type of player.

When Wang did "Air Combat Pioneer", he hoped to find a balance between the two players' game habits, which could be online a little bit when there was nothing to do, or it could be launched once in two or three days.

It's hard to do. There is already competition between players, there is a comparison mentality, and they want to become stronger than others. Whichever way of playing becomes stronger, then players tend to adopt that type of play. But if your lifestyle habits are not adapted to the way the game designer envisions the game, then no matter how fun the game is, players will give up.

Wang did not want to choose a side between these two game methods, but to make a fuss about the player's research time on the "air combat theory", so that both game methods can play this game well. (To be continued......)
