Chapter 27: The Test Begins

"Fifteen days to go until the early beta of Dawn begins."

On the homepage of Future Oasis, there is a countdown to the start of the "Dawn" test. Not only that, but many game forums have also started relevant countdown activities in the relevant sections that have been quickly opened.

Future Oasis has not had a pre-test of the game for a long time, and the previous games have only one pre-order experience.

This time, the future Oasis will once again enter the field of PC multiplayer games, which is really exciting for players.

And this time, Future Oasis said that relying on some interpolation technology of the cloud platform and the optimization ability of Future Oasis, "Dawning" does not have high requirements for PC configuration this time, and players only need the mainstream configuration plus VR display equipment to enjoy this next-generation VR multiplayer online game.

It can be said that this time the influence of "Dawn" in the player base will exceed the previous estimate of the future Oasis.

They underestimated the appeal of such a game to many players, so much so that after the test news was just released, the outside world could be said to be the number one test spot for "Dawn".

And this time, along with the game "Dawn", it is not only the game that is tested, but also the test of the content of the live broadcast of the VR game.

Future Oasis has directly added a live streaming system to the platform this time, and players can choose whether to open their game process for players to watch. Players can also select the game signals of the players they want to watch directly through the game client on the relevant page.

During the beta phase, only in-game spectators were opened, but now Oasis is discussing cooperation plans with many streaming platforms in the future. This includes providing in-game VR content and converting game content into regular video playback.

Therefore, as soon as the test of "Dawn" was announced, it enjoyed very high popularity.

The early test must be limited, and the early test of a game is incomplete, full of bugs, and there will be some problems with the gameplay. But it's this predictable and not very good game experience that has already made a large number of people impatient.

Major game media, well-known player streamers, various veteran players, and ordinary players who play soy sauce have all begun to apply for the test spot of "Dawn".

Many media at home and abroad hope to cooperate with Future Oasis and give them a little test spot, so that these media can hold several activities to give away test places to increase popularity.

For Oasis in the future, this test is also a validation of some of the design content of multiplayer online VR games, as well as to verify the operation of the cloud platform.

This is the first time that the cloud platform of Future Oasis has been put into use, and the operation of this cloud platform has a great impact not only on "Dawn", but also on other projects of the entire Future Oasis.

"There are still seven days left before the start of the Dawn test, and hundreds of test places have already been distributed in the future Oasis."

"The first wave of testing quota distribution activities of major media outlets has ended."

"Players who don't have the right to test can still download the game client and watch the test through the platform."

"Future Oasis has listed the key content of this test of "Dawn", and the official website has updated the game introduction."

"Dawn reveals new background content!"

"In the future, Oasis said that more test places will be issued as the test progresses."

Through applications through official channels, as well as several events held by the gaming media, the first test slots for the Future Oasis were quickly emptied.

According to statistics, less than one percent of the players who apply for a test place can finally get a place.

There are too many applicants, and with the reputation accumulated before Future Oasis, tens of thousands of players have applied for the "Dawn" test.

The first wave of testing lasted only fifteen days, and Dawn had only shown the relevant real-world game footage and limited trials at the last show, and players didn't get much information.

But the scattered information, summed up, has only one sentence for the evaluation of "Dawn".

Shock!

The best VR game yet, ahead of the rest of the world!

"We're on the game page now, and it's the first time we've done a live stream of a VR game, so I'm a little nervous......"

On the day of the open test of "Dawn", Future Oasis opened the live broadcast platform in advance, and these functions have been tested once a few days ago and are working well.

The live viewing mode of "Dawn", because of the need to use the relationship between the game client, is like the viewing mode of various battle games, and the audience's machine completes various image processing, and there is no additional hardware pressure on the live broadcaster.

However, in "Dawn", the gamer itself can turn on the live broadcast mode and interact with the audience, unlike the ordinary spectators, the gamer cannot communicate with the audience.

Players with beta qualifications are waiting for the game to start, while those who don't have beta qualifications can only watch others play.

However, in the VR live mode, players have no difference from playing the game by themselves, except that they cannot operate the game characters by themselves. Thinking about it this way, it seems that lying down and being a cloud player without having to do it is also a good choice.

"There's still half an hour, I don't know if the game test will start early."

This time the test was synchronized globally, with players from all over the world testing on a single server. The current time in China is 9:30 in the morning, and the test will officially start at 10 o'clock.

In the platform, hundreds of players have already started the live broadcast mode. According to the number of people, the first ones are still those big anchor players with their own audiences.

Waiting for the background of the interface, or the pre-apocalyptic city background, players and viewers alike are waiting for the game to begin.

Fifteen minutes before 10 o'clock, Future Oasis opened the test server in advance, and players who had been waiting for a long time immediately entered the server.

"Hey, why isn't it a post-apocalyptic wasteland, is it misplaced?"

"What's the situation?"

Players who have just entered the game find that they are not in an imaginary wasteland world, but in an apartment, and this opening feels a bit similar to the opening of "Time and Space Code".

Although it was a little strange, the players still followed the game's instructions.

After a few minutes, the player finally realized that this was the opening stage in the promotional video. At the beginning of the game, players can experience a scenario where the apocalypse has come to life.

Soon, players who took to the streets found themselves in some commotion around them.

Raising his head, more than a dozen unidentified objects crossed the sky.

There was a commotion among the surrounding NPCs, which somewhat resembled the trajectory of a ballistic missile.

It's not going to be a nuclear war, is it?

And players who have seen the trailer and related backgrounds know that this is not a ballistic missile, but something much more terrifying than a nuclear bomb.

A few seconds or minutes later, several tracks in the sky scattered, and one of them landed visibly outside the city.

In the midst of the commotion, the imaginary nuclear explosion did not take place, and the commotion stopped, and people wondered what it was.
