Chapter 139: The Cowshed Watchman
The development of the new game did not start at the first time.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, the National Day is about to be ushered in, and there is only a short gap of eight days in between.
Moreover, the game "Extreme Hurricane" requires the authorization of many models, and it also takes time to negotiate slowly, and it is not something that can be negotiated in a few words.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!
Chen Ba is not in a hurry, he even has the leisure to go to Zhonghai next door and participate in the collective wedding of ten players in "Love Staff".
It's so handsome to get married in a group!
So far, the total number of players on all platforms of "Love Staff" has exceeded 1.5 million.
The ten players who got married today happened to live in Zhonghai, and after the proposal of Tianba Studio, the five couples decided to get their certificates on the same day and hold their weddings in the same hotel on the same day.
I have to say, it's so romantic!
It was the first time for Chen Ba to participate in this kind of group wedding, and it was the first time he knew that the wedding scene could be so lively. Five couples of relatives, friends, colleagues and classmates sat together at more than 100 tables.
It was a stunning scene......
At the wedding scene, Tianba Studio also carefully edited a blessing short video for the five couples. As a special guest, Chen Ba also came to the stage to speak two sentences.
The atmosphere was peaceful.
Until a certain groom asked ignorantly: "Brother Ba, when are you going to get married?" β
Chen Ba's face suddenly turned black as ink, and the 10,000-word speech he had originally prepared was deleted, deleted, and reduced, but he only read more than 1,000 words and found an excuse to run away.
Damn it!
He came to the banquet and prepared a speech of more than 10,000 words, is this your hospitality?
It's just cruel.
It's not good to ask what, but to ask Brother Ba when he will get married, isn't this deliberately pouring salt on his wounds! If he had found a target, he would have gone to the Tianba community to post and show off.
It's a pity that he didn't ......
When it comes to sprinkling salt on wounds, the players in the Tianba community are definitely professionals.
When Chen Ba went to Zhonghai to participate in the group wedding, a senior Tianba fan listed all the bug records of Tianba Studio since its debut, and listed the facts and evidence, which made everyone happy.
Boy!
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
always listened to Brother Ba's bragging, and everyone believed his nonsense. After reading this post, I found out that every game under Tianba Studio has bugs?
If there is a bug, forget it.
The problem is that Brother Ba is still hard-mouthed, always saying that his game is perfect, and there is no game bug of any kind......
Now that the evidence is listed, it's impossible for Brother Ba to continue to be stubborn, right?
That's what everybody thinks.
Unexpectedly, they underestimated the thickness of Chen Ba's face, you say it's a bug, it's a bug? This is clearly a hidden mechanic designed in advance!
"Brother Ba's whole body, only this mouth is the hardest!"
"Okay, okay, hidden mechanics! Since it is a hidden mechanism, why should you suppress the cattle herding sect? @GameBugsβ
"Finch! The Cattle Herding Sect is so miserable, a great sect that used to be majestic and majestic, and now it has declined into such a ......"
"Ten Thousand Blood Books Update "Cold Window Reading Simulator"!"
Why hasn't the Cattle Herding Sect died yet?
Sitting on the business seat of the high-speed rail back to Jiangning, Chen Ba looked at the discussion posts in the community, full of curiosity.
As his first game, "Cold Window Reading Simulator" actually doesn't sell well, only a fraction of "Divine Grace Continent" and "Love Staff".
And that's not all.
After nearly three years of precipitation, the original batch of players of "Cold Window Hard Reading Simulator" basically gave up the pit and stopped playing.
It stands to reason......
The sales volume is not high, and the players are abandoning the pit one after another, and the decline or even death of the cattle herding sect is an inevitable outcome.
But to this day, there are still a large number of cattle herding members active in the community, and although the number has declined somewhat, the decline is not large.
It's very abstract!
Are the original group of cattle herding believers really so loyal? Or were they really persuaded by the idea that herding cattle equals cultivation?
In order to better understand, how many people are still playing the game "Cold Window Reading Simulator", and in order to find out the details of the cattle herding sect, Chen Ba dialed Wang Kun's phone.
As the core senior of the Cattle Herding Sect, and also the first real player of "Cold Window Bitter Reading Simulator", he has a lot to say about it.
"There aren't many players left......"
"There are no new players entering the pit, and the number of active players is indeed much lower than in the previous two years."
On the phone, Wang Kun told Chen Ba that there are few active players in "Cold Window Reading Simulator".
About twenty or thirty thousand more?
This is a more optimistic estimate, and the actual number of players may be lower than that, after all, it is a single-player game, and it is difficult to count exactly how many active players there are.
"And so many?"
Chen Ba was shocked, he didn't expect that after such a long time, there were still so many players insisting on playing "Cold Window Reading Simulator".
What are they trying to do?
It's been so long, and the game time is at least hundreds, if not thousands, of hours, right?
For such a long time, "Cold Window Reading Simulator" should have been tired of playing for a long time. Chen Ba personally thinks that it is a miracle that this game can be played for more than 100 hours.
After all, there really is very little content in the game.
The things that can be experienced are nothing more than a little, spending more than ten hours on the top, brushing up a few more achievements and saves, what else can you do?
He thought that the game would only have a few thousand or even a few hundred active players at most......
I never expected it!
To this day, there are still 10,000 or 20,000 players who insist on playing "Cold Window Bitter Reading Simulator".
"What ...... say?"
"The rest of the players should all be members of the Cattle Herding Sect, and they are extremely loyal core backbones."
Wang Kun explained with a smile: "For these people, it has become a habit to play and herd cattle every day. If you don't herd the cattle one day, you will feel empty in your heart......"
Habit becomes nature!
At the beginning, when the Cattle Breeding Sect was born, everyone regarded it as a fun, and joined the Cattle Breeding Sect just to have fun.
This is a bit like a certain online article is popular all over the Internet, and everyone is vying to join the so-called "Bombing Gang", which is actually Tu Yile, which really has no practical significance.
But over time, more and more people began to think about whether the cattle herding was really just an Internet fun?
"Herding cattle is not a simple herding of cattle, but a practice, we are not herding cattle, but our own hearts!"
The words of the leader of the Cattle Herding Sect back then didn't seem to be crazy? Herding cattle in "Cold Window Reading Simulator", after a long time, there is really a feeling of cultivation.
"Is there really such a person?"
"Yes! And quite a few ......"
Wang Kun explains: "Make a cup of hot tea, sit in front of the computer, and watch the game character wander around with scalpers. β
"This kind of thing will be boring at first glance, but once this kind of boring thing is repeated hundreds or thousands of times, then it really recognizes the cattle herding teaching."
It's magical!
Now the members of the Cattle Herding Sect are convinced of the saying that "herding cattle is a practice", and they also really feel the so-called feeling that the mind is as calm as water, and the soul is healed.
"Actually, this has nothing to do with "Cold Window Reading Simulator".
"In another way, sitting on the balcony and closing your eyes for ten minutes every day for two or three years can have the same effect."
Wang Kun said with a smile: "It's not so much that the Cattle Herding Sect persuaded them, but that they persuaded themselves. β
The rest are avid scalpers.
If nothing else, the remaining 20,000 active players of "Cold Window Reading Simulator" may not continue to decline for a long time and continue to maintain this number.
Because they're used to it.
The power of habit is powerful, every day after work, before going to bed to put a cyber scalper for a while, I always feel unsteady, and I can't sleep well.
The power of this habit will motivate them to keep playing.
How long will they last?
It's hard to say! Some people may suddenly give up this persistence, or it may be for a lifetime.
"I'm in tears."
Chen Ba couldn't help but laugh and said: "I really didn't expect that the cattle herding church has changed from a group of fun people to the current situation. β
"I didn't expect ...... either"
"But Brother Ba, since you know the current situation of the Cattle Herding Sect, and you also know that there are still a group of loyal players, will you make an update to the "Cold Window Reading Simulator"?" Wang Kun said curiously.
"What's new?"
Chen Ba was speechless and said: "I said a long time ago, the foundation of "Cold Window Reading Simulator" is very poor, and I don't even know how to release the DLC, let alone the version update?" β
"It doesn't need a lot of new content."
"In fact, the best update is probably in the interval between cattle grazing, which can give everyone different choices, such as in addition to scalpers, you can also have a black cow or other cattle ......"
"The scene of cattle herding can also be optimized, and there are a few more new scenes of cattle herding, I think this is enough, and everyone is already very satisfied."
Most of the players who have insisted on playing until now are herding cattle, herding cattle day after day, and seeing it as a way to decompress and practice.
Wang Kun proposed to add one or more cattle grazing options to the "Cold Window Reading Simulator", and in addition to the old cattle, it is time to produce new breeds of cattle.
Chen Ba readily agreed.
This is undoubtedly a gesture for him, after all, it is not too easy to add an art material.
But that's not enough......
He felt that since it was an update, he had to show a little sincerity, and he couldn't just fool everyone.
The members of the Cattle Herding Sect who have insisted on playing until now, each one is worthy of respect.
After all, the so-called "knocking on the electronic wooden fish and releasing cyber scalpers" back then was not a joke, but a cyber scalper that had been playing for so many years.
"I'll do something new."
Chen Ba explained: "If you play for more than 100 hours, you will unlock the title of "Cattle Herder", 500 hours will be "Friend of the Scalper", and 1000 hours will be "Cowshed Watcher", ......"
These achievements and titles are specifically designed to reward players who have persevered for so many years and led cyber scalpers to the barren mountains to herd cattle day after day.
It's really not easy.
Such a boring thing, thanks to them being able to hold on for so long, if it were Chen Ba, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to hold on for even a week.
This spirit deserves to be commended.
At the same time, these achievements and titles can be regarded as his complete recognition of the Cattle Herding Sect, a group of musicians.
Don't suppress them anymore.
Originally, there were few people in the Cattle Herding Sect, and if they continue to suppress it, I am afraid that the Cattle Breeding Sect will really perish in the future.
"By the way, you can actually make a leaderboard! Let's see how long everyone has been in the game......"
List?
This is okay!
It is not difficult to change the algorithm in the background and count the game time spent by players in the "cattle herding event".
Chen Ba also wants to know how long the player who has been herding cattle for the longest time has been in "Cold Window Reading Simulator"?
Thousands of hours are certainly more than that.
Tens of thousands of hours is not realistic, if you consider it comprehensively, it is about four or five thousand hours at most......
This is already outrageous.
After all, someone has persisted for thousands of hours for such a boring thing, and it feels terrible just thinking about it.
You say you have the perseverance and perseverance, why don't you do something casually? Why do you have to soak in the game and put an old cyber scalper?
"That's right!"
Thinking of this, Chen Ba suddenly remembered that Wang Kun seemed to be a high-ranking member of the Cattle Herding Sect, suspected of being the mysterious leader of the Cattle Herding Sect.
So how long did he play?
"I don't have much, I haven't played much since I got married, and the total time I watched the game last time was about 2000 hours!"
Chen Ba: "......"
It's not a long time, and then it's two thousand hours. And listening to the meaning of this, it could have been higher?
Immortals, proper immortals!
It is worthy of his suspicion that the master of the cattle herding sect chooses, and this game time is spread out, and it is estimated that it can intimidate countless people.
"Let's do it first!"
After hanging up the phone with Wang Kun, Chen Ba dialed Yang Dong's phone again and asked him to complete the update of "Cold Window Bitter Reading Simulator" before tonight.
It's not just game updates.
The Tianba community will also be updated, adding several community achievement badges, among which player organizations such as "Cattle Herding Sect", "Gumua Faction" and "Tianshu Holy Land" can apply for exclusive badges.
I haven't paid attention to the fan base before, and it's never too late to start paying attention to it now.
Don't underestimate this little badge, it's a status symbol, a community status symbol.
Go back and hang a "cattle herding teaching" badge, that is, the most beautiful boy in the Tianba community, and he has more confidence to post and reply.
"Then again......"
After arranging the revision of the community, Chen Ba asked again: "The current registered users of the Tianba community should exceed five million, right?" β
"It's already broken five million."
"Eh!"
Chen Ba was pleasantly surprised, with more than 5 million registered users and an average of 100,000 daily active players, which is not low for a community forum website.
Although it is not comparable to Zhangmeng and Miyoushe, it also belongs to the top active and ranked gamer community in China.
Does this mean......
Tianba Studio also has a group of loyal fans? Just like Blizzard, no matter what the quality of the game is, there will never be a shortage of players to pay for it?
Ok, good, good!
As the community continues to grow and the number of loyal fans increases, sooner or later, he will be able to ask players in public: Don't you all have mobile phones?
