I play games in Zongman World

"What about the server?"

"It is still very stable, and there is no great pressure." Hazuki Shizuku said leaning on the back of the chair, "Even NS, after our serious optimization, the frame rate is stable at 30 frames, even among them There are two relatively large map levels, and there is no frame drop. Today is the first day, and a full two weeks is enough to increase the popularity of the game. I believe that the number of online players will definitely continue to rise.”

"That's really good."

Yi Chen showed a satisfied smile, looked around at the busy members of the development team and said, "It's afternoon, I'll order milk tea and snacks for you, remember to eat later."

Half an hour later, milk tea and freshly baked snacks were delivered one after another. Under the arrangement of Hazuki Shizuku, everyone in the Tangdouren development team took milk tea first, and then took turns eating snacks and resting.

After cutting off a small piece of Swiss roll and putting it in her mouth, Shizuku Hazuki breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although it's only in the network testing stage, it still makes people nervous. Fortunately, the situation so far is very good."

Yashen Guang said with a smile on the side: "However, judging from the current testing situation and online reviews, Tang Bean Man will be officially released later, and the sales will definitely not be bad."

Yi Chen also said with certainty: "That's right, for the current network test, we only released some of the completed level maps, and we will add a little more maps and skins in the second network test. When the final official release, we will The levels and skins in the game will be very rich, and there will also be a season ranking method, which will definitely not make players who have participated in the test feel boring. The success of Jelly Bean Man is already here.”

Tangdou Ren is the company's first online multiplayer game to be continuously operated. In addition to the continuous updating of the game itself, the operation plan for the next six months to one year is already prepared.

After the game is released, it is enough to operate step by step, and maybe you can try to add some linked skins.

But to link these, you have to form a business team later to operate.

Time passed slowly and at night, some personnel responsible for network data monitoring were left in the company, and they had to keep an eye on them for the next two weeks, so everyone didn't complain, and actively applied for rotating overtime.

After eating outside, after returning home, Yi Chen went to take a shower, while Shi Yu went to the bedroom to turn on the computer, picked up the controller and continued to play Jelly Bean Man.

In this test, there are several good-looking skins, and Shiyu intends to get them all.

When Yi Chen came back from the shower, he found that Shi Yu had already put on the earphones and was immersed in the game world.

Yi Chen didn't bother her either, picked up his laptop, sat on the bed and got busy by himself.

Although Shiyu doesn't play many games, if she encounters a game that she is interested in, she will play it very seriously. Before the Pokémon Arceus, she was playing alone. She completed the full picture book and put Arceus I was caught, and went to brush several beautiful shiny Pokémon.

Although Yi Chen also caught Arceus himself, except for the few flashes he encountered by chance during the process, he didn't deliberately brush them, and directly sealed the disk.

Playing until nearly ten o'clock, seeing Shi Yu finished playing, Yi Chen went to take off Shi Yu's earphones.

"Okay, take it easy, let's take a shower first."

Shi Yu rubbed her eyes, nodded obediently, and went to take a bath.

Seeing Shi Yu walk out of the bedroom with a change of clothes, Yi Chen said with a smile: "Jelly Bean Man, I don't know how high the heat will be in the future."

Chapter 437 Jelly Bean Man, Released in Advance

The two weeks of public testing activities passed quickly day by day.

In the first three days, Yi Chen has been watching the number of online players in the game, and witnessed the number of online players in the game break through 30 from the beginning, and reached a full [-] in the last few days.

This result, for Tangdou people who only took the network test, is already a very heaven-defying result.

Sitting in the office, Yi Chen stroked his chin, looked at all kinds of comments on the computer about Jelly Bean, thought for a while, and called Hazuki Shizuku to the office.

"What's wrong, Yichen?"

Looking at Shizuku Ye Yue who was sitting in front of her, Yi Chen said, "Sister Ye Yue, Tangdouren's network test, what do you think of the current stability of our game's network server?"

"It's pretty stable."

Hazuki Shizuku said with a smile, "Except for occasional network fluctuations in very few areas, online games in most areas are quite stable, and the network delay is also good. I suddenly asked me this, do you have any plans? ?”

"Advance release, what do you think?"

"Advance sale?!"

Yi Chen nodded, and handed the tablet that recorded a series of data during the test to the surprised Hazuki Shizuku.

"To be honest, the online number and popularity of Tangdouren exceeded my expectations. The peak number of online players was 30 people. We turned on all the servers we prepared in advance to maintain the online game. Stability. So I think, with such a high popularity, there is no need to conduct a second test, just go online. How is the stability test of the PS and xbox versions?"

Hazuki Shizuku hadn't recovered yet, and said instinctively: "Both ps4pro and ps5 can run stably at 60fps, but ps5 can't run at 4k60fps, and the resolution needs to be lowered. Then the boss's ps4, it's It can run stably at 30 frames. For Xbox, it is similar to ps.”

Snapping his fingers, Yi Chen said with satisfaction: "Isn't that all right? Anyway, we haven't specified the release date of the game, so why don't we conduct the second network test now, and just announce the release date. Well, Let me see, now in mid-June, the release date is set on July [-]th, that Friday, the first day of release should have a good number of online players."

"Since your boss has said so, then I can't object."

Slowing down, Hazuki Shizuku also understood that the current heat really cannot be ignored, and must be used well.

"In other words, we have half a month left before the release to prepare?"

Yi Chen nodded: "That's right, half a month. Fortunately, some of our content has not been put into the beta version, and there are still a lot of content that are being produced. When it is released a month later, the content will definitely be sufficient. Yes. In addition, the operation plan after the release of the game should be moved forward. For the rest of this year, before the release of Titanfall, the jelly bean people must firmly hold the heat in their hands. Wait until Next year, Dark Souls and Apex will be able to take over."

"I see, I'm going to tell everyone in the development team the news."

After Ye Yueshizuku went out, soon, on the company's various Internet accounts, the release date of Tangdouren was announced. It will be released on July 58 next month. The price in the Steam country is [-] yuan. The selling prices of other platforms all fluctuate around this price, and the difference is not very big.

Based on the playability demonstrated by Jelly Bean Man during the testing phase, plus the announcement about the number of maps and skins in the announcement, it is definitely not a loss to buy one for 58 yuan to play.

The day after the release date was set, pre-orders for Tang Bean Man were launched on various platforms, and the number of pre-orders on Steam and NS rose rapidly.

Let’s not talk about Steam. It’s the basic disk of YC Productions. There are already a lot of PC players in China. In addition, the optimization of each game has not been improved. Players are very happy to buy the game experience directly on Steam.

Of course, the pre-order sales of the host platform are not bad, especially because of the portability of NS, there are quite a lot of people playing during the test period.Although it is incomparable with the steam platform, the number of online players still exceeds [-].

There is only one thing that the Tang Bean people have not done, and that is the cross-platform online system of the game. It is indeed a thankless task to make this thing.

However, Tangdou people on the two platforms of steam and epic can do cross-platform online.

I just don't know how many people on Epic went back to buy games, even Yi Chen himself, most of them went to Epic for free prostitution.

Three days after the pre-order was launched, the total sales of Tangdouren on all platforms directly exceeded 50.

As an online multiplayer game that needs to be connected to the Internet all the way, it is impossible to please all players, but this sales volume is already very good.

When the game is released and continues to operate, as long as the number of players in the game can be maintained, it is enough.

The office door opened, Shi Yu walked in, came to Yi Chen's side and patted his shoulder: "Chen Jun, I want to ask you something."

Yi Chen, who was digging into the detailed system settings of the Galang game, raised his head: "En? What?"

Shi Yu said bluntly: "Jelly Bean will be released next month, so the skins I got in the beta version won't be able to wait for the second test?"

"Yeah, I can't wait."

Yi Chen nodded with a smile, "It's okay, when the game is officially released, there will be more interesting skins, Shi Yu, you can get those skins."

"..."

The corner of Shi Yu's mouth twitched, and she turned Yi Chen's chair directly, then sat on his lap, looked at him and said, "Can't I transfer my save file to the official version?"

"Uh...you can, but you don't have much skin. If I remember correctly, there are only five?"

After hearing this, Shi Yu pressed Yi Chen's cheeks with both hands: "That's because you didn't play it yourself, I don't know how much time it took for me to have five skins! Except for one skin that is cheap, the other four skins need five each. Only the crown can be changed! It was okay at the beginning, but as the game time grows, the player's skills have improved, and it is very difficult to eat chicken!"

"Okay, okay, I get it."

Pulling Shi Yu's hands down, Yi Chen said with a wry smile, "When the game is released, you can go to Sister Ye Yue and let her arrange it for you. Even if you want the whole skin directly, it's fine."

"That's not necessary. I just want the few skins I got now, and I don't want to do it again."

Now that Yi Chen agreed, a satisfied smile appeared on Shi Yu's face, and after leaning up to kiss him, he got up and left the office.

"I'm going to see what new skins there are!"

Watching Shi Yu's back going out, Yi Chen smiled and shook his head.

The skin in this game is quite attractive to girls.

Chapter 438 Visiting Akane Benizaka

It's another game that has been pre-ordered and will be released next month. Players are very happy, but many developers in the industry are extremely puzzled.

How can the development speed of this company be so fast?

Those who also have this kind of doubt include Benizaka Zhuyin.

Her company is currently divided into two development groups, one develops small boutique independent games based on the engine obtained from Yi Chen, and the other develops large stand-alone games step by step according to the original plan.

This time, the two development teams didn’t make too much progress. The game to be developed by the small development team absorbed the advantages of Isaac’s Binding and Hollow Knight, and planned to make a pigeon-type pixel action game.

And another large-scale development team intends to make an arpg game with a linear process.

The development team didn't plan to touch the open world of the first game before. It would take too much energy and cost to do it well, and it might not be able to do it well, so it's not worth it.

But when the two games of his own were developed smoothly and he was thinking about releasing them in half a year, Yi Chen directly sent out a two-week free online test of a new game "Jelly Bean: Ultimate Knockout".

Benizaka Zhuyin couldn't figure it out, when was this game developed?

Curious, Benizaka Zhuyin also downloaded a jelly bean man.

Then, I played for two weeks, basically playing online for more than two hours every day.

The extent of this liver game is much more exaggerated than Shiyu and Yinglili.

After the network test was over, the game was temporarily shut down, and before she could wait for a few days, the pre-sale of the game started directly, and it will be officially released next month.

When I played it before, Akane Benizaka felt that the gameplay system of this game is already very perfect, and the follow-up is nothing more than updating some new map levels to maintain the vitality of the game.

According to Hongsaka Zhuyin's understanding of Yi Chen, since the game is going to be officially released, there must be a lot of content that has not been released, so there is no need to worry about whether it will be boring after the release.

So, with all kinds of doubts and thoughts, Akane Benizaka picked up the car keys on the table and left the company directly, all the way to the office building where YC Productions was sitting.

The car was fine in the underground parking lot. After confirming that Yichen's car was here, Hongsaka Zhuyin took out the makeup mirror from her bag, put on some lipstick for herself, and then took the elevator to the floor where the company was located.

I have been here several times, so when I went to the front desk, I was not stopped by the company's receptionist. I registered, and after the receptionist called to inform me, she entered the company.

Just like the previous few visits, this place is still full of excitement.

In the art group, Akane Benizaka saw Eri Rika who was discussing things with Mitsu Yagami.

"Mr. Kashiwagi Eri, long time no see~~~"

Hearing this name, Ying Lili trembled instinctively, looked at Hongsaka Zhuyin who came over, widened her eyes and said: "I told you not to call me by this name! And I met you at a banquet not long ago. Is it? Why did you come to our side?"

"As a colleague, of course I came to visit and learn from it. After all, your company's performance is very good."

Benizaka Akane came over with a smile on his face, looked at the 3D modeling on Ko Yagami's computer, and said, "Well~~ it shouldn't be something I can't see, right?"

Yagami Guang waved his hand indifferently: "It's just a model in the design, it doesn't matter if you see it, Miss Hongsaka, are you here to find Yi Chen?"

"Well, then I won't bother you, I'll go find Mr. Yi Chen."

Facing Aoba and Hifumi who were watching from the other side, she nodded with a smile, and Akane Benizaka came to Yichen's office.

After knocking on the door, Akane Benizaka walked in.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yi Chen~~"

"Long time no see, Miss Benizaka."

Although quite surprised that Hongsaka Zhuyin came here, Yi Chen did not refuse the other party's door. He stood up with a smile, and pointed to the sofa in the office, "Please sit down, what do you want to drink? Is coffee okay? I bought a batch of good coffee beans, plus it is afternoon tea time, and there are a lot of freshly made desserts from nearby pastry shops.”

"Then trouble you."

"No trouble, it's just a small matter."

He picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to the HR side, and soon someone came in with hot coffee and a piece of cake, and delivered the things to Akatsuki Benizaka.

Yi Chen took his own coffee and sat down on the side sofa.

"Go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. Ms. Hongsaka came here today, so there must be something to do?"

After cutting some cake and putting it in his mouth, Akane Benizaka nodded in satisfaction, before saying, "Well, there is indeed something related to my company, and also related to me."

"Company? You yourself?"

Yi Chen took a sip of his coffee and said in doubt, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Yichen, the game that your company launched before is Tangdouren. I played it." Hongsaka Zhuyin said with a smile, "It's very interesting, and I was addicted to it as soon as I touched it."

So, it's just to praise your company's games?

"If Ms. Hongsaka just thinks the game is excellent, she should actually tell Sister Yeyue. I just proposed a project for the Jelly Bean Man game. Most of the content in it was developed by her as the producer."

"That's still your credit, isn't it? For a game, the planning at the beginning is very important, and it can set the tone for the game."

Benizaka Zhuyin smiled and said, "I came here today mainly to discuss game development with you. My company is currently developing two games, one is a pixel-style meat pigeon action game, and the other is an arpg with a linear process. game."

Double open?With the scale of Hongsaka Zhuyin Company, there is no problem with double opening.

Then the other party continued: "Although the development of the game is going smoothly now, I have been thinking about the future direction of the company. Should I continue to develop large-scale stand-alone games of various 3A scales, or follow my own inspiration? , to develop various types of games. Mr. Yichen, you are like the latter, right?"

Yi Chen nodded affirmatively: "That's right, I will not set a goal in game development. As for you, Ms. Hongsaka, if you are not sure what route to take in the future, you might as well go according to your own feeling first." Right. Didn’t your company recruit a lot of talents? Take out all kinds of ideas, everyone discusses them together, and picks out the ones that are suitable for making games for development. With so many people recruited, it must be brought use."

"Use it..."

It seems that he is indeed still walking in the same way as before, shouldn't he give the people under him more room to play?

Benizaka Akane was lost in thought.
