They promised to promote history, but what the hell is this Three Kingdoms Kill game?!

Chapter 83: A Developer's Frenzy! (Please read on, please vote with your monthly tickets!)

A rental apartment in a residential area of ​​Donghai City.

In the living room, the windows were completely covered by curtains, and only a few computers emitted a faint light. The whole room was dark and devoid of any signs of life.

Several boys with messy hair and stubble sat in front of computers, the crisp sound of their keyboards echoing in the room.

"We've finally succeeded! Gong Yang! Our game bug fix is ​​complete!"

'

Suddenly, one of the boys took off his headphones, his face showing excitement, and shouted at his friend next to him.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yang quickly took off his headphones and leaned closer.

"Holy crap! Lu Dong! That's awesome!"

Gong Yang stepped forward and started running the test, and it turned out just as Lu Dong had predicted.

The game bug that had been bothering them for a month has finally been fixed!

The two hugged each other excitedly!

"Our game is finally complete!"

"Yes! It's been half a year since graduation, and this time hasn't been wasted!"

After hugging, the two quickly integrated the game into a single file.

"Gong Yang, which platform do you think we should release this game on?"

Amidst the surprise, Lu Dong also revealed the next challenge he would face.

Gong Yang also put down the mouse and began to think.

"I'm guessing it's Tencent's [PLG] platform; they have so many players!"

"Sigh...their profit share is high too, 64%! Will the profits be enough to support our next update?"

Lu Dong sighed and leaned back in his chair.

The game's creation had already cost them all their funds, and further updates and maintenance would require a significant amount of money. However, the high revenue share charged by the PLG platform made things very difficult for them.

Many developers like them end up like this after releasing their games on the PLG platform.

The lack of funds for maintenance and updates led to the game's demise.

"Then what do you suggest? There are only a few game platforms in China right now, and their revenue sharing is pretty much the same. Maybe our game has already been released and received great reviews!"

Gong Yang rubbed his head. The market didn't give them any choice. Where else could they go if they didn't release on the [PLG] platform?

As for how far this game will go... well, that's up to fate!

Lu Dong sighed; he could only do as Gong Yang had suggested.

Just then, their roommate Zhou Yun walked in carrying a boxed lunch and a case of beer.

"My God! I was only gone for two days, how did this house become like this?!"

Zhou Yun grumbled as he put down his things, then pulled back the curtains and opened the window to let in sunlight and fresh air, adding some life to the dreary room.

"I just went on a business trip, and you guys are practically turning into vampires! How's our game going?!"

After complaining, Zhou Yun looked at the two of them with sullen expressions and guessed that the game hadn't gone well.

"Hey! It's okay! It's normal to have problems!" Zhou Yun took out his bank card. "There's still 3 yuan left in here. Buy whatever you need. If it's not enough, I'll think of something else!"

"No need, Zhou Yun, the game is successful," Lu Dong said, pointing to the computer next to him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat down in front of the computer to try it out.

20 minute later.

"Wow, you guys are amazing! This problem that's been bothering us for a month is finally solved!" Zhou Yun said excitedly as he turned around. "Wait, the game is even a success, so why are you all making that face?!"

Lu Dong sighed, "Sigh... the game was a success, but what about distribution? Which platform offers the highest commission rates? I'm worried we won't have enough money for updates and operations!"

Gong Yang, standing to the side, nodded in agreement, then looked up at the ceiling, unsure of what to say.

When Zhou Yun heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.

"Is that all? I thought it was something big!"

"This isn't a big deal?! Zhou Yun, you need to know how many games have failed at this stage! Can you guarantee our game will be a huge hit once it hits the market?!"

Zhou Yun wasn't angry at Lu Dong's reprimand: "I originally wanted to give you a surprise, it seems it's time to tell you!"

Lu Dong and the other man became somewhat interested.

Do you know where I went on my business trip this time?

"Isn't it Shanghai?"

"Yes! It's Shanghai! The [Game Awards] were held here back then. I took a look before leaving and learned some important news!"

"What?!"

Zhou Yun's lips gradually turned up, and he could already imagine how excited the two of them would be after hearing the news!

"Langyu Studio announces the creation of a new platform! This platform will split profits 7% between developers and 3% between the platform! Most importantly, new games will be completely free for the first two years after release!"

As Zhou Yun had predicted, Lu Dong and Gong Yang excitedly stood up from their chairs.

"Zhou Yun! Are you telling the truth? Their new platform really won't charge you for the first two years?"

"Really, why would I lie to you! Their official account has already announced that for the next two years after the launch of the new [LYG] platform, any game that joins their platform will not be charged a single penny!"

The new game, released two years later, will be free for the first year!

Fearing they wouldn't believe him, Zhou Yun even opened the Langyu Studio's official website for them to check!

"Holy crap...it's true! Our new game is saved!"

"This is the platform for the game 'Three Kingdoms Kill'! There's no need to worry about user issues!"

This is the best news of the day, even better than when they fixed the game bug!

The gloom on Lu Dong and the other man's faces vanished, and the three of them raised their beers to celebrate the two pieces of good news!

"We hope our game will be a huge success on the [LYG] platform! Keep it up!"

"come on!"

"LYG is awesome! Langyu Studio is awesome!"

Sunlight streamed through the glass, falling warmly on the three people's faces, filling them with hope.

And this wasn't just happening to them; countless other developers who learned the news were also celebrating!

After the opening ceremony of the [Game Awards], Lin Lang and Shen Qi took a plane back to Donghai City, while Wang Lin and others did not leave. Instead, they called all the game manufacturers from all the platforms together for a meeting that evening.

In the conference room.

Wang Lin was sitting in the main seat, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.

"You all heard Lin Lang's speech today, right? What are your thoughts on the new [LYG] platform?"

Sitting next to Wang Lin was a middle-aged man who was rather short. He was Xu Da, the person in charge of the pig farm.

NetEase is also one of the shareholders of this year's Game Awards. Although NetEase's game platform is not as large as Tencent's, it still controls 10% of the players.

After years of conflict, the two sides have now reached a peaceful state.

In other words, they simply can't win!

If it weren't for the intervention of the Great Xia government, their games would have been taken down long ago!

But now that Langyu Studio wants to get a piece of the pie, it's absolutely impossible in his eyes!

"Mr. Wang, if you ask me, Lin Lang and his team are just clowns! You have to understand that platform maintenance and operation costs a lot of money. With their small studio size, their revenue sharing isn't profitable at all!"

Others chimed in, "Yeah, Mr. Wang, don't worry! The market's game players have basically been snapped up; they only have 'Three Kingdoms Kill' left, so there's nothing to worry about!"

Wang Lin rubbed his fingers together. Indeed, just as they said, it was impossible to snatch the cake from their hands!

Each gaming platform has only one popular game, and they simply don't last long!

"I don't care what they do next, but we can't just sit here and wait to die. Everyone needs to go back and have a serious talk with our top game developers to stabilize things! We can't let them waver even a little!"

"For other game studios with ideas, give them two choices: either stay put or don't even think about listing on the platform!"

"Is this [LYG] platform really as good as he claims? Our marketing departments aren't pushovers, are they? They know what to do!"

The others nodded, all understanding what Wang Lin meant.

It's nothing more than smearing, stirring up trouble, and spreading negative news. This isn't the first time they've done this!
