Just ten days after the end of the Star Games Carnival.
It’s pretty much what Zhu Youxing originally expected.
This time at the Game Star Carnival, the size of the player base really decreased.
Although the decrease is only about 3%, this can indeed prove that Mickford's Infinite World has played an unexpected role.
Many players hope to be the first to play this highly praised cross-generational game.
But at the same time, various public opinions about this game also appeared in many places.
Some people claiming to be insiders broke the news that the game Infinite World is actually just a semi-finished product. This game is just a concept, and many of the previously promised gameplay contents may not be realized.
But this kind of voice will be suppressed soon, and it will be difficult to make too big a splash on the Internet.
Zhu Youxing also tried to buy this game, ready to go back home and experience the so-called cross-generational game in this world.
Let’s see if it’s better compared to No Man’s Sky in the previous life.
"Zhuyou, what are you playing?"
At Zhu Youxing's home, Zhu Youxing was alone in the study room, preparing to have fun in this infinite world.
Zhu Youcai walked in at this time, still holding cut fruits in her hands, came to Zhu Youxing and looked curiously at the computer screen in front of Zhu Youxing.
"The game Mickford just released is called Infinite World."
"Are you playing too?" Zhu Yucai said with some surprise, "I think many people have announced that they are playing the game Infinite World today."
Zhu Youxing nodded: "Well, this game has become very popular recently. Wouldn't it be a loss if you don't try it?"
"But I remember you said in the meeting before that this game will have a lot of troubles and it won't be a good game? And it seems that there has been a lot of related negative news on the Internet recently, which also confirms your judgment about this game.
."
"You won't know until you get started. By the way, where is the child?"
"Xiaomeng is taken care of, don't worry, let me see how the infinite world you are playing is going. If it is fun, I will also play it. I remember that this game seemed to have a multiplayer mode? The two of us can play online.
Let’s play and see.”
Zhu Youxing shook his head, then pointed at the screen and said: "There is no multiplayer mode. It seems that this team has very little development experience. They encountered many development problems and no one helped solve them."
"Huh? It's just a multiplayer mode, how difficult can it be?" Zhu Yucai was a little confused.
"That is not difficult for Youxing Electronic Entertainment, but it is indeed not an easy task for ordinary game developers."
Zhu Yucai thought for a moment, and she had already thought of at least three solutions to join the multiplayer mode in her mind.
But this is based on her more than 20 years of game development experience.
In addition, there are Bamboo Games, Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and the special version of Unreal Engine that is exclusively provided by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
The combination of these multiple factors makes Zhuyoucai believe that adding a multiplayer mode to a game is not a problem at all.
However, it is indeed a problem for some people.
"Okay, I'm in. Just look around and have a look. If you want to play, just tell me and I can let you play."
After saying that, Zhu Youxing pulled a chair from the side and asked Zhu Youcai to sit on it.
Zhu Yucai walked over to Zhu Yusing and sat down, then gently leaned against Zhu Yusing's side and patiently watched Zhu Yusing play the game.
Zhu Youxing's body moved slightly, then quickly calmed down, and then began to enter the game of the infinite world.
…
After all, the young man with an afro was still unable to solve the problem of multiplayer mode before the game was released.
They were bogged down by some procedural confusion and code confusion.
In the beginning, they were a team of more than a dozen people developing games together. At that time, their team cooperation was relatively close.
Later, Mickford sent a hundred people to provide technical support, which helped them solve some complex code writing problems.
But a new problem emerged later, that is, these new programmers did not fully understand their game development methods.
He often communicates with these people, and then tries his best to ensure that the codes and programs they type can be stably integrated with the game itself.
Just doing all this work is already a bit exhausting.
Later, they didn't even have time to create an online mode.
Just like Zhu Yuxing said, young people with Afro hair are too young.
And Mickford didn't do a good job of supporting them.
Mickford's own game development so far is not very strong, so naturally he cannot provide their team with better technical support.
Being able to help them alleviate some of their manpower shortages is already the greatest help.
In fact, giving them half a year would definitely solve the problem, but Myron Keys did not agree.
He still insisted on releasing the game on schedule.
According to his words: "Youxing Electronic Entertainment's games are released on time every time, and sometimes they are even released in advance. Why can't you release them on time? Why do you always have so many problems?"
People in the game development department are also having a hard time.
The reason why Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's games are not postponed is because they always determine the release date when the game is basically completed.
The release date will never be announced until it is completed.
In this way, even if Youxing Electronic Entertainment encounters some unexpected situations, it can still have an excuse to slowly polish the game.
And players are also very tolerant of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
If someone else's game didn't announce the release date after it was released, it would probably have been scolded by players long ago.
But Youxing Electronic Entertainment can be willful.
Because players know that Youxing Electronic Entertainment can bring them the most fun games.
"Hey...just let fate..."
The young man with an afro looked at the game on sale and could only helplessly shake his head.
But he doesn't intend to give up.
No matter what the subsequent sales of the game are, it will not be a reason for him to give up.
He has already made arrangements with his team. The next work will not be easy. They have to make up for the shortcomings in the early stages of the game.
This is a game that they have put a lot of effort into, and they don’t want this hard work to end up as an unfinished product that will become a permanent regret.
So he wanted to do his best to make up for it.
As for player reputation, he actually doesn't have much hope for it.
On the first day, the sales of Infinite World exploded, with sales exceeding one million on the first day. It was supposed to be a medium-sized game, but it has the potential to compete with large-scale games.
