Yang Ying was helpless, although he wanted to prevent the early release of the game, but in the end, he was so soft-spoken that it was difficult to say that Mr. An.

No, you can only go with the flow and let it be.

It's just a little time, not to mention fixing bugs, and it's too late to even optimize...

Now that the matter has been decided, he can't change anything.

So, upset, he asked his assistant to explain the release time of the game to the person in charge of the operation department, so that they could prepare in advance.

After a while, the assistant came back and reported that the people in the operations department had already known...

This made Yang Ying a little stunned.

Originally... Mr. An before informing himself... I've already found the operations department...

After a long time, I was the last to know about the person in charge of the game...

At this moment, Yang Ying had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was a little exhausted. Moreover, for the first time, he also developed a slight dislike for the company.

...

The next day, around 10 a.m.

The V-Bo operation of Techgame issued a notice that "Bloody Scientist" would be released in advance almost not long after everyone went to work.

Along with that, there is also a pre-release pre-release list.

Above, are the big anchors of the major live broadcast platforms.

Suddenly, as soon as the news came out, before half an hour had passed, Vbo's major game media, certified big Vs, senior game people, etc. began to rush to forward and praise.

At the same time, large traffic platforms such as Pod Film Review, Force, Love Play, and Barrage.com have also published eye-catching advertisements.

Other small platforms, such as a certain game forum, the Fourth Disaster Club and other player communities, have also appeared in the promotion of reverse ticket jumping.

In particular, the app of the danmaku.com has hung a 5-second advertisement on the opening screen, covering tens of thousands of people.

As a result, various eye-catching posts from the media are flooding the communication platform.

As:

[We interviewed the game producer and got first-hand information about Bloody Scientist]

[Unprecedented ticket jumping! ] The horror game of the technical game network was released in advance! 】

[Ten minutes to take you to understand the content of the innovative horror game "Bloody Scientist"]

[The reason for the reverse jump of "Bloody Scientist" was exposed, and the producer said that it was all for the players! ] 】

["Bloody Scientist" may become the first horror game to let people vent their fears]

["Bloody Scientist" developer responds: In the future, it will continue to update and add content to ensure the freshness of the game]

...

If the notice of the technical game Vbo has attracted the attention of a small number of players, then the media's contributions on major platforms have attracted the attention of most other people.

There is no lack of embarrassment among them, coupled with the vigorous promotion of various websites, for a while, the Internet was full of news reports of "Bloody Scientist".

In addition, players already knew that "Bloody Scientist" would be released on July 15th, but now this operation 5 days in advance has confused them and began to discuss it on the Internet.

"Uh... Elders... 5 days in advance and 5 days in late... Is there any difference..."

"It's not a game to look forward to, it's just an ordinary fight against aliens. I guess it's a gimmick, so it's easy to sell. ”

"As long as the optimization is done well, the picture is passable, and the rest doesn't matter. I'm definitely going to buy it, I'd like to see how I can vent my fears. ”

"That's right, support domestic games! Buy up! ”

"I'm going to open a random website right now and it's an ad for Bloody Scientist, how much does it cost?"

"Pre-release? Do you also play this set? It's also good to take a look at the quality of the game. ”

"Our group was still discussing "Dark Forest" yesterday, but today "Bloody Scientist" came out with news, and no one discussed it."

"Early sale? All right! Completely numbed by the horror game of the shimmering light, I can finally play some refreshing horror games! ”

"No one will remember those games that were released on time, and the success of this wave of reverse bounces of technical games makes people remember him! Awesome! ”

"Early sale? Can't wait, huh? Is the game ready? Is the optimization done? Don't come out like the whole four. ”

"Upstairs, will the game be released early if it's not ready? Are you as brainless as you are when you are a senior executive of technical games? ”

"It doesn't feel right, such a big company as Jiyou, why are those evaluation agencies still not rated when it is about to be released? Is it because Techgame didn't give CDK, or is it not going to be released overseas at all? ”

"People produce and distribute as a whole, and there is also the platform of Xiyou, so I will definitely not be on the cyber platform. Thinking about their last "Jungle Horror", which was given a bad review on the cyber platform, they can't control it, which is two extremes with Shimmer's particularly well-received games. ”

"Don't talk about the unjust game of "Jungle Horror", don't talk about plagiarizing "Dark Forest", I can't even copy it, and TM has the face to sell it for 168 yuan, and "Dark Forest" only sells for 69 yuan."

"A bunch of sour dogs, our country has finally come up with a decent horror masterpiece, and you are so degraded? It's so bad to see people? If you don't support it, forget it, leave some virtue in your mouth, you are so powerful, why don't you go up? If it doesn't work, don't beep. ”

"Upstairs, the only game isn't from Huaguo? Did we say no? It's only been a while that you've been sniffing the keyword, right? ”

"With the lessons of "Jungle Horror", I guess "Bloody Scientist" will do a good job, after all, such a big company, looking at this popularity and publicity, full of confidence. Anyway, there are 5 days left, just wait. ”

...

Although the reverse bounce of "Bloody Scientist" has made waves in the player base, due to problems such as word-of-mouth and high pricing, as well as no media ratings, the ups and downs are not very large.

After all, there have been a number of blockbusters for sale such as the VR remake of "Dark Forest" and "Dead Space". Later, there were popular masterpieces such as "Control Failure" and "Mountain in the Sky".

In addition, the trailer of "Bloody Scientist" presents the kind of refreshing fight against aliens, and there is no horror in the smell, so players are a little hesitant in their hearts.

Therefore, even if it is released in advance, players are only shouting support on their lips, and they still have a wait-and-see mentality in their hearts.

For their player base, since they are all games that shoot well, why not play foreign FPS with better quality?

At the very least, people have a reputation, quality, and an old factory.

As a result, although the reverse bounce of "Bloody Scientist" caused a heat wave, the response was slightly mediocre.

Some players even expressed their concerns about the game, afraid that what they bought was just an instant noodle game, and it wasn't even a fast food.

However, the player base is large, and even if most of the wait-and-see people are removed, the remaining number of people should not be underestimated.

At the same time, this large-scale promotion of the whole network made "Bloody Scientist" once suppressed the VR version of "Dark Forest" in terms of topic popularity, and became a hot topic of the day.

Of course, this kind of reverse bounce operation naturally reached Meng Shu's ears.

At this time, the only game is inside the office.

He was already talking to Infinite Net Entertainment while browsing the promotion documents sent by Director Lian.

"So, you mean, you want to announce the progress and release time of my new game?"

Meng Shu spoke, his tone calm.

In his mobile phone, a familiar female voice came out.

[Mr. Meng, you can consider doing this, after all, your game topic is quite high, you can't just go on like this, we will also help you stir up the topic.] ]

Hearing this, Meng Shu shook his head.

"Thank you, but I know what you're thinking, announcing game content to attract traffic? Actually, there is no need for this. Technical games are now released in advance, so let them release with peace of mind. The ripe fruit deserves a good harvest, and I don't want to make trouble. ”

[But...]

"It's nothing, I didn't even plan to announce the game trailer before, because Jiyou itself released the press conference video to make it popular, so I don't want to make trouble at this juncture. Instead, you made an oolong affair that forced me to release a game trailer to divert the public's attention. ”

"Now that the game has been released in advance in order to regain the popularity, it is enough to let their hard work be duly rewarded. I'm very busy with so many things to do. ”

The poor supervisor on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, not knowing whether he was stunned or what's wrong.

However, after a few seconds, he recovered and opened his mouth to respond.

[... Okay, Mr. Meng, we trust your judgment. Also, have you read the promotion plan? Our colleagues in the Promotion Department wanted to know something about the development insider. For example, the development progress or the development process. ]

[We need to send the game to the media a week in advance, and then it takes time for them to play the game and write the script.] So if you have a release date in mind, let us know a month before that time so that we can prepare for the promotion at home and abroad. ]

Meng Shu smiled when he heard this.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about this, I haven't set any release time, my requirements are very simple, these cumbersome release processes will be released when they are finished."

"As for the development work, my side is mainly about the storytelling, dubbing, and the rest of the program. When it's done, the game will be provided to you for overseas translation, and there's nothing else to do with the rest. ”

The merciful supervisor on the other end of the phone said he understood.

[Okay Mr. Meng, I know, then we'll just get ready and wait for your game.] By the way, the trademark assignment is already in the process of being filed. Regarding the development budget, if you need it at this stage, you can also apply with us, and we will evaluate it and make a loan. If there are any questions in the future, please contact me in time. ]

"Development budget? Just tell me how to apply. Oh yes, there's another problem. ”

Meng Shu suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly called Director Lian on the phone.

[What's wrong, Mr. Meng?] ]

Meng Shu coughed lightly twice and told the thoughts in his mind.

"Our next game is a VR version of Dark Forest, you know that. The original "Dark Forest" is now only available in Chinese and has not been localized overseas. ”

"So I thought about it, since the VR version of "Dark Forest" is also going to be released overseas, it is better to first translate the original "Dark Forest" into multiple Chinese languages and promote it abroad in advance, and wait until foreign players know and play this game, and then we will release the VR version." Maybe it would work better, don't you think? ”

"I don't want foreign players to only know about the VR version, I want to let the original "Dark Forest" bring a wave to the VR version at the last moment."

】

After hearing this, Director Lian was stunned at first, and then asked softly.

[Mr. Meng, is it too late to speak more Chinese now?] Both games are of the same type, and I'm afraid that after the original version is in multiple Chinese, it will affect the sales of the VR version, and...]

"That's fine."

Meng Shu smiled, his voice full of confidence on the phone.

"I think anyone who played the original "Dark Forest" probably didn't look forward to the VR version. Moreover, if you don't play the original version and get started directly with the VR version, although there will be no barrier, but in terms of perception, it should drop a lot, especially the huge content gap between the two versions of the game. ”

"Do as I say, Shangduo Chinese is not to cut leeks, but to build a fan base for the VR version, a foundation for foreign players."
