Rebirth Online Entertainment

Chapter [-]: Late Closed Beta of "Sky City"

Shanghai "Valley of the Wind" entertainment technology information company. 【

Aishang Reading Network]

The Valley of the Wind, which was established a year ago, has been working hard to develop the 3rd game "Sky City" in the bustling Shanghai.Until recently, Sky City has completed 70, and when everyone is continuing to work hard to complete 100 as soon as possible, a sudden domestic virus epidemic has changed the plan for the final boss of the Valley of the Wind.

Admittedly, the emergence of the COVID-[-] epidemic has indeed caused panic among the Chinese people.But everything has two sides-nature-. For the emergence of the epidemic, it should be said that it has greatly affected social activities in real life, so that in order to control business conditions and avoid the spread of the epidemic caused by large-scale movements, the country has recently begun to recommend Citizens across the country can turn their entertainment direction to TV and the Internet.

When the news was broadcast on the news network, the entire Internet industry almost jumped up excitedly.

This kind of suggestion is completely supported by the state. It is a kind of policy, which is equivalent to telling everyone that we want to support the Internet, and you should work harder.If we do not seize the opportunity to develop at this time, then such a good opportunity will not appear in the future.Therefore, over the past period of time, various companies have launched many activities to welcome batch after batch of novice users who have flooded into the Internet.

Seeing this, the eyes of Boos "Bear Winner" from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind brightened.Although "Castle in the Sky" is not 100% completed, but with the current 70% completed game project, it can be released first.Moreover, isn't that what many domestic games do?After the half-developed game is released, it will continue to develop while operating and making money.

This method of operation has long been known in the circle, and even developed into an unspoken rule.

Originally, Xiong won the bid and did not agree with this method.Because, after two years, he saw the rise of the Tang Dynasty Internet.The more I wanted to try, the first trace of starting the company was to create a domestic high-quality game company just like Tang Dynasty Network.As it happens, he dug a very good team.Moreover, this team also has its own perfect 3 engine.With the support of this team, we will insist on the road of "Bear Winning the Bid" to follow the boutique route.

However, the arrival of an epidemic has made national policies vigorously support Internet companies.In order to seize some markets during this period of time, Xiong Zhongbiao gave up his initial strategy, and then ordered the technicians to release the game first.Otherwise, if you miss this time, you will regret it to death.Moreover, Xiong Xiong also has his own plans for winning the bid.

Although it is not the best time to launch, but in the domestic market, companies developing 3 engines have slowly surfaced.

The more threatening one is Tang Dynasty Internet. His Zhu Xian may be released at the end of 03 or 04.Calculating the time, my own city in the sky happened to collide with Zhuxian ol, which is not a good thing.Even if Xiong Zhongbiao thinks his "City in the Sky" is great, he doesn't dare to fight against Tang Chao Network in his heart.In addition, there is the perfect world of perfect time and space, and the voyage century of the snail company. Their 3 technologies are all good. In terms of time, they may all be concentrated in 2004.

Most importantly, Xiong Zhongbiao has already spent most of his investment in developing the "Sky City".Originally, he thought that the cost of developing online games was low. Unexpectedly, the development of 3D games was simply incomparable with that of 2D games, especially to create a high-quality 3D game, which required a huge investment.If the development continues, Xiong won the bid and won't be able to stand it anymore.If not now, it can only be refinanced.This is not what Xiong Zhongbiao wants to see. For Dragon Nest, he wants to build a giant company by himself.

In this way, it is better to release it first now, and win a part of the market under the brand of the first 3 game in China.

Just during this period of time, due to the short-sightedness of several major domestic game companies, they only see the benefits and let the cheats run rampant.In the madness of players and game companies, it fell into extinction.It ended up causing a whole bunch of gamers to leave.As a result, Dragon Nest brought "Sky City" and started large-scale game advertisements on the Internet.The content of this advertisement is very powerful. It not only plays the brand of the first 3 game in China, but also plays the game technology card.

What 3 game technology is the highest game development technology in China so far.Even in the world market, it can reach the first-class level.Then, compare 3 games with 2 games.Judging from the screen alone, it compares with a lot of 2 games in China.Even the two 2 games under the Tang Dynasty Company don't seem to have as good graphics as this 3 game.In addition to 3 games, the viewing angle is 720 degrees.

Go up, down, left, and right, wherever you think.The characters inside -color-, can fly into the sky at any time, and can fight with players in the sky.Moreover, unlike 2 games, what he sees is always the graphics seen from a flat perspective.When you use the mouse to move the camera to the right, the characters you see are different.

For this 720-degree viewing angle, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind also gave several screenshots of the city in the sky.

For example, one of the houses.When I look at the house on the left and the house on the right, the effect is completely different.Because, just like the real world, he will show a more realistic game in your eyes.Moreover, the player character - color - can also be in the sky and look down on the ground under his feet.All of these are done by the 2 types of game methods.

Such a comparison, that 2 game is really a mess, how can it compare to 3.Therefore, this "Laputa in the Sky" became the most anticipated online game until the advertisement came out.Of course, many of these expecting players were also looking forward to Zhuxian ol in the past.It's just that Zhuxian ol has not been developed so quickly, they can't wait to die and not play the game.Now there is a 3 game out, whether it is out of experience or really like it, it is worth playing.

"Brothers, let's experience the first 3 game Sky City in China."

The little-known "City in the Sky", because of its awesome banner, is very attractive to players.No, a player was already attracted by the city of the sky when he saw the advertisement.That's not all, he even called a lot of friends in the tt group to try it out.

"3 games, so powerful, 3 games appeared in China so soon?"

3 Online games, when these players heard about it for the first time, it was in the Zhuxian ol promoted by the Tang Dynasty on the Internet.However, Tang Dynasty Network once said at that time that because the technology of 3 games is much more difficult than that of 2 games, the development cycle is relatively long.Therefore, Zhuxian ol can only be released at the end of 2003 or early 2004 at the earliest. As for when it will appear, Tang Dynasty Network did not give a specific time.Unexpectedly, now that Zhu Xian OL has not been released, another domestic 3 game "Sky City" has already come out... Comparing the two, it seems that this company is better than Tang Dynasty Network.

"Yes, the closed beta will be in a few days, and you don't need an activation code, everyone go try it out first. How should I say, this Sky Castle is also the first 3 game in China. By the way, I have never played it Over 3 games."

Not to mention online games, even stand-alone games, there are very few 3 in China.Even in foreign countries, the current 3 technology can be regarded as a relatively advanced game technology.How can Internet enthusiasts like these not love high-tech products?Regardless of whether the game is good or not, I have to play it anyway.

"Okay, I'll download it now, and play together when the time comes. Anyway, the elves are dead inside, so it's boring."

This is the original elf player. The player was lucky and his account was not deleted.However, Netease Nass was too ruthless and deleted 10 game accounts in one go, which made a lot of players feel uncomfortable.Although Netease has reminded before that using these vicious-sexual-cheats will be officially banned, but everyone is using it, who cares about you.Another thought, the law does not blame the public, let's see if you can do anything about us.Unexpectedly, he really blocked NetEase.

This time the title was sealed, and the elves lost a lot of popularity for a while.As a result, many players began to look for other games.When a 3 game appeared, I suddenly became excited.

……

"Mr. Bear..."

"Fang Zhizhi", the chief planner of Sky City, came to the office of "Xiong Winning the Bid".

"Well, Xiao Fang, it's you. How about it? The closed beta will start in two days. Are you confident?"

Fang Zhili is about 30 years old, and he can be regarded as a young hero.There are countless classic game plans.For this reason, in the game Sky City, many of the classic gameplays come from Fang Zhizhi's planning.Xiong Zhongbiao was very satisfied with him, and when he saw Fang Zhizhi coming in, he smiled and chatted with Fang Zhizhi.

"This one……"

Fang Zhizhi wanted to smile wryly.

"Why, Xiao Fang, you can't do this. Now that the big battle is about to start, how can you lead the team with your mental state?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bear."

Fang Zhizhi straightened his expression and began to say, "Mr. Xiong, after putting down the game planning for the past few days, we did a few offline tests."

Generally, when a game is tested nationwide, the game company will conduct the test internally.For those with stricter requirements, they will go to the domestic network and secretly download and enter the test.The purpose is to take a look at the environment in the domestic network, how the game is operated by myself.

"Well, how is the effect? ​​Does the game have a lot of delay?"

Although Xiong Zhongbi is just an investor, not a technician.But after studying for a long time, I also know the characteristics of some online games.For the category of delay, many games have no bugs, but once the network speed cannot keep up, it will cause delay.Ever since, many bugs are generated in these network delays.

"Not much delay, smoother?"

"What do you mean, Xiao Li?"

Wouldn't it be better to be more fluent, but seeing Fang Zhizhi's expression, he was almost worried.

"I'm afraid that if there are too many people, it will be troublesome."

At this time, Fang Zhizhi began to speak.

For an online game, if only a few hundred people are online, any game company must be able to afford it.However, facing thousands of people, it is estimated that some game companies are struggling.If the technology is not good, or the server is not strong, it will cause a lot of difficulties.

"Don't worry too much about this, you will know how it will look after a few days."

For this early internal test, not everyone agrees.It's just that Fang Zhongbiao is the boss. In addition, many game companies are also developing while operating, which is understandable.Of course, Xiong was a little uneasy about winning the bid. He was also afraid of failure.However, the current situation has forced him to conduct an internal test.Furthermore, even if the number of players is larger, which game is not like this?

Even Misty Journey, he has played it before, when a bunch of players are mixed on one map, it's no wonder it doesn't get stuck.

"Another point is that the computer quality of domestic players can only meet our minimum configuration standard. Some even can't meet it at all..."

"what."

Hearing this, Xiong won the bid with some excitement.

When developing Sky City, I didn't think so much.They were determined that the 3 game must be more promising than the 2 game, for this reason, Xiong won the bid to invest in the development.Moreover, when the advertisement comes out now, it has indeed attracted the attention of a large number of people.In just a few days, hundreds of game guilds have already been established, saying they want to enter Sky City.

However, when "Fang Zhili" mentioned the configuration of the computer, he was a little anxious.This kind of hardware defect is so lethal that it can almost determine the death penalty of the game. No matter how clever your game is, it may not be popular.

"Is there a solution?"

"Not yet, we can only wait for the domestic computer hardware to be upgraded."

After Fang Zhizhi finished speaking, Xiong Zhongbiao thought about it, and there was no words in the office for a while.

"Mr. Xiong, I suggest delaying the test time."

It turned out that there was no investigation, or, at that time, everyone believed that software and hardware would develop simultaneously, and foreign 3 games had appeared, and the effect was good, so they didn't think so much.Now after investigation, I know that it is dangerous.

"Let me think."

Late testing is acceptable, besides, Blizzard, a well-known international company, does not know how many times it is late?However, after the delay, whether to continue the development of Dragon Nest or what to do, Xiong Xiong must consider winning the bid?

Three days later, Xiong Zhongbiao finally thought it over clearly, thinking, "No wonder the Zhuxian ol plan was launched around 2004. I'm afraid, they have already expected the current domestic game environment." After that, Xiong Zhongbiao seemed to have figured it out, It's better to be late than to be finished after it comes out.What's depressing is that, after it's too late, he needs to find someone to invest in.

This also means that Dragon Nest will not completely belong to itself in the future.However, there is no way.After figuring it out, Xiong Zhongbiao finally made a decision, and told Fang Zhizhi to say, "Give the players a better reason, Sky Castle is late for closed beta."
