Chapter 243: On the shelves, bad review crisis
The exam week lasted for two weeks, and after the last exam, the summer vacation finally arrived.
And Lu Li is facing the "tight spell" of Lafayette at home.
[Mom: You're still not going home after you've finished your English level 6 test? 】
[Mom: I went grocery shopping yesterday, and I saw the boy who played with you before, isn't he in the same school as you, everyone has arrived home, you ......]
[Lu Li: I won't be back these days, there are a few games to be put on the shelves, and I am in the busiest time, so I can't spare time. 】
[Lu Li: (crying)]
[Mom: Let you start a business, now you have to suffer hardships. 】
[Mom: Then tell me before you come back, I can make some preparations. 】
[Lu Li: (Xiong Er, salute, received)]
Putting down the phone, Lu Li sat in the office and continued to negotiate with some promoters.
With the development of Xingchen Network to the current scale, basically everything has been taken care of by professional people, and Lu Li will not be very busy.
And the reason why he sat in the office every day during this time was because of a magical effect.
When he sits in the office, the effect of [Prince] can better affect every employee, improve their work efficiency, and the increase is not small.
Lu Li is also counting on taking the peak train of summer vacation, naturally hoping that the game will be released as soon as possible, and he will naturally not go out to fish these days.
And the results he obtained are also quite good.
With the exception of Cuphead, the other two games are already ready to hit the shelves......
And what Lu Li has to do is to warm up the game before it hits the shelves.
While organizing professional people to make several videos about "No Regrets Daxia", on the other hand, they sent the internal beta qualification of "Story of Cultivating Immortals: Reincarnation" to some game UP masters......
In this warm-up, the time has also entered July.
……
"In this game, you can become the emperor of each dynasty and make different choices in the face of different events...... In the face of foreign enemies, you can choose to send troops to counterattack, cede land and pay compensation, or you can choose to make peace, everything is in your choice. ”
"The pixel-style meat pigeon game is still the theme of cultivating immortals, which can be said to be quite novel...... Different genres will have different effects, it can be said that this game sews up all the points that can be sewn, and the gameplay experience is still quite good, so I recommend that you can get one when the time comes. ”
"The atmosphere is almost warmed up, and it's time to play these two cards." Looking at the comment area under the promotional video, Lu Li gently rubbed his temples and made a decision.
Under his money-saving publicity, these two games are now very popular, and there are a lot of pre-orders......
As long as the quality of the game is good enough, then you can retain a large percentage of players and let them win at the starting line of the same game.
Of course, if the quality of the game is not satisfactory, you will also be sprayed badly...... However, Lu Li didn't think there would be such a possibility.
The achievements of these two games in the future are enough to prove that they are excellent, and compared with the production team of these two games at that time, Lu Li invested far more manpower and money than them, and the quality can be said to be better than blue.
……
In the first few days of the game's release, Lu Li would pay extra attention to the data.
Whether it is "No Regrets Daxia" and "The Story of Cultivating Immortals", the data performance in the first two days is very good...... Thanks to the various means of the publicity and distribution department, as a mobile game, the number of players in "No Regrets Daxia" reached 1.5 million in two days.
and "The Story of Cultivating Immortals" has sold nearly 20,000 copies, and its praise on Steam has exceeded 92%.
Everything seems to be going for the better.
However, on the third day, something happened......
As a work to test the waters, "The Story of Cultivating Immortals" did not encounter any setbacks, but "No Regrets", which Lu Li had high hopes for, encountered Waterloo.
On various game platforms, there were suddenly a lot of bad reviews in the comment area of "No Regrets", and at the same time, many people gave low scores.
Even on Taptap, the rating of "No Regrets Daxia" has been declining from 9.4 points, and now it has fallen to 7.7 points, and it is still declining.
[I'm still looking forward to it, I thought the domestic game was saved, and I went in a little bit, and it was a season card, and it was a monthly card, which can be said hehe. 】
[The eating appearance is really ugly, and it suddenly makes me lose interest in playing games.] 】
[No, this thing also deserves to be called an SLG game?] I don't feel as good as ......]
[Anyway, I gave up swimming, so if you want to be the wrongdoer, be the boss.] 】
[After playing for two hours, the evaluation is that the gameplay is average, and it's okay to pass the time, but it's obviously impossible to play for a long time.] 】
Looking at the dense number of bad reviews, Lu Li frowned and swiped the mouse expressionlessly.
Now the game's comment section has been overrun by bad reviews...... Although there were some players who spoke out for righteousness, they were quickly labeled as "collecting money" by others.
And among the few praises, some of them are obviously "water army speeches......
"Looks like I'm being targeted." Lu Li gently rubbed his temples and muttered in a low voice.
He's not stupid, and ninety percent of the bad reviews are just scolding, but they don't focus on what the game is bad about...... The few attack points are Season Cards and the need to idle to obtain resources.
But are these two really disadvantages?
Ninety percent of the games on the market have such a thing as a season card and a monthly card, and it is not uncommon for SLG games to get resources by hanging up.
"It's a lot earlier than I thought." Lu Limo rubbed his chin, he knew that this day would appear sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to appear now.
This was much earlier than he expected, and because of this, he was not fully prepared to defend and counterattack yet.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Lu Li said in a deep voice.
The door was opened, and the secretary and the head of the propaganda department walked in.
The propaganda director is a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, graduated from a prestigious school, and has several years of work experience, so he can be said to be a "key talent".
Lu Li vaguely remembered his surname Fang, but he had forgotten what his name was.
"BOSS, this time we should be maliciously competing with our peers." Xiao Fang said gloomily: "Station B, Douyin and some other video platforms have all appeared in the situation of big bloggers posting videos to hammer our games. ”
"I know it's malicious competition, and what I want to know is a deeper situation." Lu Li looked at Xiao Fang, his fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, and he said in an unhurried tone.
Seeing that Lu Li was still able to maintain a calm and rational attitude, Xiao Fang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He knew about this boss and knew that his previous games were smooth, but now when he encounters this situation, he is afraid that he will not be able to stand it for a while and will behave in a demented manner.
But now it seems that his boss is also quite good in terms of mentality.
"I'm sorry, although the source of the water army has been found, the other party is obviously professional and refuses to communicate with us, so we can't find out who is behind it now." Xiao Fang lowered his head and said slightly apologetically.
"Understood, so what are you going to do now." Lu Li didn't get angry, just looked at Xiao Fang and asked his own questions.
"My current plan is to contact the platform, tell them about the current situation, and ask them to defend our legitimate rights and interests; Then contact some trolls to control the rating; Finally, we sent someone to demonstrate and dispel some rumors about us on the Internet. ”
"When inviting the water army, let them not be too strong when commenting, and they can be appropriately gentle." Lu Li nodded in recognition of this plan and said: "Special treatment for special circumstances, you can directly ask for financial approval for this time." ”
"Okay, then I'll go and get ready now."
"Go ahead." Lu Li waved his hand, looked at the secretary standing aside, and asked, "Who do you think is behind this time?" ”
"I can't be sure, but I can target those big factories." Miss Secretary replied seriously: "There are not many domestic manufacturers that make SLG mobile games, only those few big manufacturers, if we succeed, we will inevitably snatch a part of the cake from them, which they don't want to see...... At the same time, because of our early publicity, they noticed our existence in advance and prepared to attack us early. ”
