This pokeni community is actually strategic.

Don't underestimate that it only has a text function now, but after a little more development, it will become a gathering place for neon players.

According to Qingzhiyuan's idea, although the Pokeni community is mainly serving its own company now, the framework has been set, and it is very quick to expand it in the future, whether it is an official website or other types of sharing websites in the future.

In this way, it is equivalent to that you already have a very important media platform, and it will be very convenient to promote or do publicity on it in the future.

And when the topic becomes hot, it can further increase the popularity of Pokeni.

At this point, it's more than just a forum.

It is the first shot of the future electronic news media, but it will take some time to develop and grow.

What's more, Qing Zhiyuan felt that it was too inefficient to use the operation staff to go to the streets to find players to come back and do questionnaires.

Although the interview can more intuitively observe the changes in the players' expressions, the process is quite troublesome, and the scale is generally not large.

Even in the field of statistics, the sample size of the sample is small.

But the forums are different, once players get used to commenting in the Pokeni community, the number of people will gradually increase, and you can see what players have to say about the game very quickly and intuitively, so as to understand what they like and what they dislike.

It's actually very helpful for making games in the future.

There is another point, even if it is Qing Zhiyuan's selfishness:

I want to see how players praise themselves.

In the past, players communicated offline, and you had to hold player exchange meetings, which was very uncomfortable.

It's like you've won the Olympics and you can't hear praise from others.

Only the media can report a thing or two, and if you want to hear the cheers of the people at the bottom, you have to go down and find out among them.

This is out of step with the development of the times.

The Internet era, but the era of information explosion, is the era of rapid dissemination of emotional value.

In times like these, it would be a shame that no Pokeni community would have seen the comments from the players, and it would be a shame to accept their compliments.

Moreover, for Qing Zhiyuan in his previous life, it is really a joy to be able to see interesting messages in the forum or the community section of steam, even if he sees interesting messages under the relevant videos of station B, and discusses with them.

There are no comments, and I feel that there is a lot less fun in the later stage.

Sometimes the sand sculpture comments of netizens are more emotional than the game itself.

There's a reason why the barrage is on fire, because the comments themselves are very interesting.

……

In order to enjoy this moment, Qing Zhiyuan also wrote a post in the Pokeni community, which he wrote as the president.

It is to the effect that I would like to thank the players for their companionship and support for so long.

[I believe that in the process of growing up with P Society, you have also experienced a lot of related games]

[Although the game is a life created by us, it has become complete because of you]

[The life that each player experiences in Pokeni's game is definitely different]

[All the joys, sorrows, and sorrows, all the ups and downs, are hard to forget, right? 】

[Since that's the case, you might as well leave footprints here, write your game story, and let us share and make progress together?] 】

[Thank you for having you, Pokeni official.] 】

Qing Zhiyuan was embarrassed to fall into his big name, mainly because it was too public, and it was not good.

He likes that kind of low-key, quiet way of pretending.

Then he waited for the praise of the players, and smiled sadly in private.

Qingzhiyuan registered for the forum, and opened a corresponding theme section for each game of Pokeni, and then revealed the news to Guoletong and other news media, and hoped to do a wave of publicity.

Of course, in a paid way.

……

In the latest issue of the journal Fruitton, the following news was published:

"With the development of personal computers, the network has gradually become popular in the world, and people can communicate, share and obtain information on the network.

Networking may be a very important development trend in the future.

In the last year, there were already operators in the country that could provide dial-up Internet access, and the number of computers purchased was also growing exponentially, and it is estimated that in the next ten years, computers will become a must-have for every household.

On the personal computer, there are also many excellent game works born this year.

The Elder Scrolls: Arena is a role-playing game developed and published by Bethesda Softworks, released in March of this year.

Emperor Yuriel Saiptin VII was betrayed by the Empire's battle mage, Jaca Sarn, and imprisoned in another plane.

Travel alone to the vast continent of Tamriel in search of the legendary Staff of Chaos to rescue the true Emperor and restore peace to the Empire.

The game itself is highly replayable and full of exploration, making it a rare game.

Warcraft: Humans & Orcs: A LAN real-time battle game in which players can experience a single-player campaign, learn the basic controls of the game, and play against other players through LAN online.

The difficulty of the operation is quite high, you need to operate multiple units at the same time, but the world view is very large, the content is very rich, and it has a very rich and imaginative Western fantasy color......"

After introducing the development of the world's networks and computers, as well as the changes brought about by computer games, Guo Letong wrote about the Pokeni community.

"Pokeni has started the first forum community in China, and players who are interested in Pokeni's games or want to complain about their game works can leave a message in this forum.

President Qingzhiyuan said that the corresponding developers will read everyone's feedback carefully and strive to make future games well.

At the same time, you can also write down your game mood in the forum and share it with other players.

Isn't that interesting? ”

This introduction on the front page of the forum is quoted later.

The forum address is given at the end.

……

"Huh? Personal computer? ”

"There are games on the PC, too."

"yes, it seems like there have been games on the computer for a long time, but it's not very popular on our side."

"How expensive is a computer, and I don't want to think about it, but a new high-configuration computer costs at least more than 500,000 yen, right?"

"Mm-hmm, I can't afford it at all."

"The company does have a computer, and it has been equipped for us, but we have to return it after we use it, let alone install games on it."

"It would be too painful to buy it yourself."

The monthly salary of many office workers is only 200,000 a month, and 500,000 yuan to buy a computer is indeed a bit of a luxury.

In comparison, consoles are significantly cheaper.

The Sega MD is also 29,800, and this year Sony is said to have launched a more powerful game console, and the price will not exceed 50,000 yen.

"What's more, the performance of the game console is better than the computer's, so I don't want to play computer games.

Unless there is something that must be played. ”

"These two games look quite interesting, but I really don't like the painting style, and I guess domestic players are not easy to accept, right?"

"And I've seen that the games on the computer are actually quite rough, not as good as the picture quality on the current game consoles."

“……”

Players, you and I are talking about it.

But what they are stating is actually a fact.

Because PC games will not develop until after 2000, in the mid-90s, computers are more used as personal office tools, but when the number of owners increases, everyone thinks that this thing not only has office ability, but also can play some games after work

In such a market environment, more and more game manufacturers have invested in it, and then pushed the development of computer hardware, such as graphics cards, sound cards, and memory, which led to the vigorous development of computer games in the future.

And now, neon players are actually more accustomed to playing through game consoles.

Players who have purchased Golletcom have been commenting on the computer game while also seeing the Pokeni advertisement below.

"The Pokeni community? What the hell is this? ”

"I don't understand."

"Dial-up Internet access requires operation on the computer."

"Ah~ It's so troublesome, what's the use?"

"I don't know."

"Reading the introduction seems to be a way to write down your experience of the game and share it with the community, so that others can see what you write as long as they log in to the Pokeni community."

"Huh? Is it like this? But why should I write it out and share it with others? ”

"Who knows, isn't that the most interesting thing about the game experience is when you communicate at the bottom? In particular, it is very pleasant to have a drink in an izakaya at night with your friends, chat about games, and talk about interesting things that have happened recently. ”

"The president of Pokeni really wants to come up with something weird, so why don't you spend all this time developing the game?"

"That's it, it's hard for people who don't have concentration to succeed."

"It's all because the producers of Pokeni are so good that they give this waste president so much freedom."

……

Of course, it is impossible for Qing Zhiyuan to know about these players' complaints offline, but as time goes by, the media and newspapers have also published advertisements for the Pokeni community, and even after almost a week, there are still no messages from any players in the forum.

Not to mention the fact that there is a lot of content to share.

This matter completely deviated from Qing Zhiyuan's cognition and expectations.

According to his thoughts, although not so many people in Neon have personal computers, at least there will be a few rich die-hard fans, right?

Looking at the computer in a daze every day, I just hope that someone will comment on it, but there is no one.

At least no one left a message in the forum to share.

"Ah~ How can this be?"

Qing Zhiyuan was uncomfortable.

It shouldn't be like this.

Qing Zhiyuan fell into deep self-doubt and despair, and his expression was depressed.

Or should you wait a little longer, after all, the Internet is still too new for today's players, and it needs a process of acceptance and adaptation?

But at this moment, there was suddenly an additional post on the forum.

Qing Zhiyuan immediately sat up from his chair, and then excitedly clicked on the contents.
