Chapter 507 Apex Internal Test

E3 has just ended, and various manufacturers have released information about their games that will be released in the next six months and next year.

As an emerging well-known developer, YC Productions released the pre-sale of Dark Souls dlc as soon as the news was announced, which is divided into two sales methods.

One is the season pass that directly includes the two dlcs, and the other is the two dlcs that are sold separately.

After the sales of season tickets started, the price of the country area 148 was not cheap, but the sales volume continued to rise.

According to the statistics of Yichen's background data, as long as the players who have cleared the level of Dark Souls, they will directly choose to buy the season pass when purchasing, and only a small part of the players who buy a single dlc.

Except for the season pass of Dark Souls, other games have not opened pre-sales so early, after all, the game has not been in development for long.

But Haizi received good news from Modu Studio.

The development progress of Apex is extremely smooth, and internal testing can begin soon.

This is unexpectedly good news. If the next test goes well, maybe apex can be released some time earlier.

The originally scheduled release in October is a relatively conservative time. It was said during the internal meeting that if the game's development progresses smoothly, it can be released earlier.

"Well, it depends on the next internal test."

The time came to mid-July, and after the exams, Yi Chen and the others ushered in the summer vacation.

During this period, the company recruited a group of new members and assigned them to various development groups, making the number of developers in each group more sufficient.

The arrival of summer vacation means that there is still one month left for the release of Dark Souls dlc. The Dark Souls team is also entering a stage of intense activity. It is going on almost non-stop from the beginning of work to the end of get off work in the evening every day. development.

Fortunately, the scale of the project is not large, and the current development team has enough manpower to complete the development of dlc1 before the release date.

In addition, there is another thing, that is the internal test of apex.

60 people participated in a competition. In addition to the people from Modu Studio, there were also many people from Tokyo.

However, the time for this test cannot be placed during the day, so after discussion, everyone chose to put it on Saturday, and everyone came to the company for the test.

It is said to be a test, but it is actually playing games. By the way, I can also have lunch at the company at noon. No one complains.

Staying in the office, after Yi Chen installed the test program, he looked at Shi Yu and Xue Nai in the office: "Are you sure you don't want to play?"

Shi Yu nodded: "In the past two days, I have to revise the script again. After discussing with the director, I found that there are more things to add. On Monday, I have to bring the written content to the crew."

On the other hand, Xue Nai said: "No.1 is called a shooting game, and I still can't get used to it."

Xue Nai's answer is understandable, many people can't get used to this No.1 title, and it's easy to get dizzy when playing.

"Okay, then I'll team up with Yinglili and Liuli."

Originally, Yichen wanted to find Ying Ningning to form a team, she is very good at shooting games, but as expected, she ran to find Haizi to form a team, and then recruited Qingye, so she had to change players.

But it's not a big problem, Wu Geng Liuli's level is also very good.

As for Ying Lili, as long as she doesn't fall behind, Yi Chen didn't expect her marksmanship to be very accurate.

After entering the game and pulling Yinglili and Liuli into the team, Yichen said in the team voice: "Can you hear me? Is there any problem with the call quality?"

Ying Lili's slightly excited voice came: "No problem, it's very clear!"

Wu Geng Liuli followed closely and said, "Well, there is no problem."

"Okay, then I'll create the room."

After opening a public room, I talked about it in the internal test group. Within a few seconds, the room with 60 people was full, and the game started instantly.

Coming to the selection interface, Yi Chen asked, "Which one do you plan to choose?"

Ying Lili immediately said: "I want evil spirits!"

Wugeng Liuli: "Then I will go to Bangalore."

Yi Chen nodded: "Okay, then I will choose first, and I will choose the Bloodhound."

After the three selected, they quickly entered the reading interface.

According to the current development progress, the development of the two maps has been completed. The first map will be tested this morning, and the second map will be started in the afternoon.

The picture this morning is the Canyon of the Kings. After entering the skydiving time, Yi Chen said to the two people in the team: "I am a skydiver, where do you want to jump? For the first round, do you want to be more stable? Let's jump." A little farther away?"

Wu Geng Liuli glanced at the map and said, "How about going to the air force base to the west?"

The flight this time flew vertically northward from the bottom of the map, towards the air force base in the lower left corner, which was not bad.

Ying Lili said: "I have no problem, I can dance anywhere!"

Yi Chen also said afterwards: "Okay, let's go to the air force base."

After speaking, he pressed the skydive button, and the three of them jumped down. Yi Chen adjusted his direction and flew towards the punctuated air force base.

In the process of falling, Ying Lili, who was not in control, didn't need to operate anything, so she kept turning her camera to look around.

After looking at the back, Ying Lili said in a panic: "It's not good, someone jumped over!"

Yi Chen took a look, and sure enough, two teams followed him and jumped down.

"Don't panic, let's pick up weapons first, the advantage is on our side."

A few seconds later, Yi Chen controlled the angle, and the three landed precisely in the middle of the three supply boxes on the ground of the air force base.

"Hurry up, find equipment!"

Then he controlled his character and ran towards a supply box in front of him.

Opened it, luckily picked up an r99, and some light bullets.

Liuli on the other side said: "I got a blue armor and a peace envoy."

"Woo...Mozambique..."

Yinglili's lost voice made both Yichen and Wugeng Liuli smile.

Yi Chen held back a smile and said, "It's okay, as long as you have weapons, they're coming down, Ying Lili, hurry to the plane and search again!"

"Oh! I see!"

Then Yi Chen watched Ying Lili's evil spirit holding a small Mozambique in his hand, and quickly ran into the plane with the door open.

"That's right! It's a longbow!"

No, what's wrong with this?You don't even have a scope!

Sure enough, before Ying Lili got excited, gunshots rang out, aiming at Ying Lili's side.

"Wow! Don't hit me, this sniper rifle is not easy to use!"

Then, Ying Lili fell down. Although she had two weapons, she had no armor on her body and no skill to dodge. She was directly hit by a series of bullets and fell to her knees on the ground.

"Teammates, teammates, save me!"

Yi Chen didn't pay attention to it, and quickly joined Wugeng Liuli with his weapon, ready to meet the enemy.

Chapter 508 Testing, and the idea of ​​organizing a competition

Although Yichen and Wugeng Liuli's level was good, they still failed to win in the end when faced with the double-teaming of the two teams.After knocking down two people, they fell to the ground one after another, and together with the three Ying Lili at the beginning, they formed a box.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Listening to Ying Lili's wailing in the earphones, Yi Chen said with a smile: "It's a normal thing to land into a box. To play this kind of game, you must be mentally prepared to land into a box. Let's watch the battle for a while and learn from it." The others played well too."

Because the personnel capacity of only one game is temporarily open, even if they quit, there is no way to start the second game, so Yi Chen and the others started the spectator mode.

Coincidentally, the two teams that came to the air force base just now, one of them is the team of Haizi, Ying Ningning and Qingye, so Yi Chen simply watched the battle with Haizi.

After watching it for 10 minutes, Yi Chen sighed and said, "As expected of Sister Haizi, your marksmanship and awareness are excellent."

Wugeng Liuli, who was also watching the Haizi battle, agreed and said, "That's right, it's very powerful!"

Ying Lili said in a low voice: "Give me better equipment, and I can do it too."

For her evaluation, both Yi Chen and Shi Yu chose to ignore her fps game level, which is obvious to all in the company.

As time passed, the number of surviving players on the map gradually decreased. After the third round of shrinking, there were only four full teams and one 2-person team left.

When they arrived at an airdrop, several teams got together, and no one chose to evade, but directly started the decisive battle.

In the end, after a fierce confrontation, after Ying Ningning and Qing Ye fell to the ground, Haizi held the mastiff he took out from the airdrop, and directly completed the counter-kill with one hit and two, and ate the chicken.

After the experience of the first game, everyone who participated in the test was basically familiar with the game, and immediately started the second game impatiently.

Moreover, many people are already discussing with their teammates that they will rush to rank after the game is released.

The number of Pubg players is still high in the past two years, but now that they have released an apex of the same type, but the quality is not inferior at all, so it is natural to support their own games.

From morning to afternoon, all day long, everyone was conducting the internal test of apex, playing in the dark, and it didn't end until [-] pm, and everyone chose to have dinner in the company's cafeteria.

After ordering what she wanted to eat, Ying Lili came to Yi Chen's table.

On the long table, besides Yi Chen and Shi Yu, Qing Ye and the others are also here.

After sitting down, Ying Lili looked at everyone and said: "Although it is a test, there are basically no vicious bugs in the game. I really enjoyed playing. Yichen, when apex is released later, should the company regularly organize offline What about the next game?"

"Huh? Internal competition?"

After hearing this, Yi Chen said with great interest, "This is indeed possible. Organize it regularly. Anyway, everyone likes to play games. It's easy to organize a competition. The prizes are also easy to get, so I won't take bonuses or anything like that." , new limited-edition games, or gaming equipment, computer peripherals, graphics cards, etc.”

Although everyone in the company is very motivated to go to work, they will definitely be tired after a long time. As Ying Lili said, organizing regular competitions can help everyone relieve stress and relax.

As for outdoor sports, there is not much comparison. Few in the company have the habit of exercising for a long time. It is better to let them set a rule and let them go to the company's gym several times.

Iori Yagami took a bite of the hamburger, thought about it and said, "However, there is only one apex, isn't it enough?"

"It's simple, anyway, it's not necessary to have your own game." Yi Chen said with a smile, "Apex is the shooting game, and other types of games, whether it's fifa or nba2k, fighting games, Tekken Street Fighter and King of Fighters, Super Smash Bros. can do it, and even racing games can do it, right? Things like horse-drawn carriages.”

It's really easy to find games for organizing company competitions.

"Oh! Carriage is fine!"

Ying Lili happily raised her hand holding the chopsticks, "I agree to hold a horse-drawn carriage race with both hands, I am super strong!"

"I think the match between King of Fighters and Street Fighter is fine."

Wugeng Liuli drank the vegetable soup and said seriously, "It's been a long time since I participated in a fighting game."

Kosaka Kirino, who also came over, refused to admit defeat and said: "Yes, fighting games! I have been practicing hard, and I can definitely beat you, Black Cat!"

Along with everyone's discussion, other employees around heard it too, and everyone started discussing excitedly.

Seeing everyone's lively discussions, Yi Chen also made up his mind that this kind of company's offline competition should be held once every quarter.

Four times a year, one or two games are selected each time to compete.

Yi Chen still remembers that those Internet companies in Huaxia held a dota2 competition in the industry before, which directly raised the popularity of dota's private community again.

Dota, or moba games are not very popular in Japan, but Yichen can choose other games, and then find some companies in the game industry, and everyone will have some competitions together. I guess it will be very interesting, right?

In the past, game developers made games for players to play. Now that these game producers are allowed to compete on stage, players will complain about it.

The more he thought about it, Yi Chen felt that this matter was feasible, and he immediately shared his thoughts with everyone.

Ye Yueshizuku said with a smile: "You really dare to think about it, but you can really try it. There is not enough time this year, but you can slowly find some companies to ask, and see if they are not interested. You can also open a live broadcast to broadcast the game, find a few professional commentators and so on."

Yagami followed closely and said, "Also, how about letting producers and top gamers fight together?"

"..."

Yi Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Yashen Guang and said, "Sister Guang, you have a good idea, how about I find a top player in Black Soul pvp to PK with you later?"

"Eh... I almost forgot that we are also game developers, hehe, I didn't mention it."

Yagami shrank his neck and went to eat silently.

All in all, this casual discussion during the meal made Yi Chen's desire to make trouble even stronger.

But these have not been released immediately, and the dlc of the dark soul at hand must be developed first, and then apex can be successfully launched before discussing other things.

Chapter 509 Black Soul DLC Release

On August [-]th, Dark Souls' first dlc, Ashes of Ariandel, was officially released.

Many players who have already cleared the level of Dark Soul, and even cleared the second and third rounds, finally couldn't wait to open the game again, and followed the prompts to enter the new dlc.

A world in painting.

Before the launch of Dlc, in addition to the one PV announced at E3, a second PV was released later, but the content was all about bosses and some map elements.

The players never expected that the new area this time was actually in a painting.

But after all, this is a fictional world, and the unfolding of the world in the painting is not unacceptable, as long as it is fun.
