1181 An inspirational history with a bad reputation
As the time comes to the end of 2021, the fierce competition in the video game industry shows no signs of fading.
As long as there is a gap in the game release window of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, other game companies will start to attack like crazy.
These game companies have no temper and are even a little afraid of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. They call Youxing Electronic Entertainment the devil of the game industry.
As long as the big devil is around, nothing will grow.
Therefore, it is particularly important to have a window where Yuxing Electronic Entertainment does not release games, and it has become a battleground for military strategists.
To be more serious, some companies have even started various public opinion wars to directly suppress competitors.
And among them, there is a game that seems very inconspicuous now.
This game is not named by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Because this game did not originally belong to Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and it did not actively join Youxing Electronic Entertainment later on.
But it has the full support of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and the latest technology and resources can be provided.
"Version 3.0 has entered the final testing stage and can be updated as planned!"
"The art team has started the art design for version 4.0 update. Boss, we will definitely complete the task ahead of schedule this time!"
This is the company of the Infinite World game development team.
They now work at the former location of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
The appearance of this small single-family office building is somewhat mottled and full of traces of time, but the people inside are full of vitality.
Each of them is looking forward to a better tomorrow and their games will become more and more popular.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The reputation of Infinite World collapsed from the initial release to the bottom, and then began to climb out of the abyss step by step.
Infinite World 2.0, this is a version of very important significance.
A sandbox construction function has been added, and the latest AI technology is used to produce random worlds.
The playability has been greatly increased, at least allowing old players who were still somewhat interested to stay and not give up on the game so easily.
Moreover, these players are very willing to actively recommend others to play.
"The game Infinite World is still not fun now, but it is cheap. Look at the discount period, the price is only ten dollars, which is the price of two burgers."
"Infinite World still has many shortcomings, but they will not run away, and they also have the technical support of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. The future is promising. It is just like watching a stock rise slowly against the trend. It is as exciting as watching it.
and excitement.”
Players who listen to these recommendations may still not be interested, but it also leaves an impression on them.
Infinite Worlds was a terrible game in the past, but they had a team that was willing to give up.
The world often likes to be tolerant to those who are willing to work hard and slowly make bad things better.
And now, Infinite World 3.0 is about to be released, and it is still free as always.
What is added this time is more advanced AI computing technology, as well as picture improvements provided by the latest Unreal Engine version.
And now it is no longer limited to four-player online play, and now supports more than 32 players to adventure in a world at the same time.
According to the subsequent update plan, the online play limit may be expanded again when the game reaches 5.0 or 6.0.
By this time, there will be people in the infinite world, and there will be more infinite possibilities.
3.0 also has a new large-scale infrastructure construction gameplay this time.
To put it simply, it puts the construction gameplay similar to Sim City Architecture directly into the infinite world.
Infinite World The game space is almost unlimited.
Even if a player has a lifetime of experience, it will be difficult to make such a world rich.
When the game was first released, many players later joked that the infinite world was like an infinite wasteland.
The background story of the game is that there are countless civilizations, countless humanities, countless technologies, etc.
But when it comes to actually playing, you can't do it at all.
Even just building one or two large-scale civilized cities will consume an unknown amount of energy.
Cyberpunk takes years to create a night city full of details.
After having experience in the development of Cyberpunk 2077, it will take about two years to create a city for Grand Theft Auto 5.
It is basically impossible to achieve this level with a team of more than 100 people in Infinite World.
This requires some clever methods.
I can’t do so many colorful world civilizations myself.
So, how about leaving it to the players?
This large-scale city construction gameplay has this purpose.
Players are also very interested after learning about it, and this world also has many creative people.
As long as you give them a stage to display, they will be able to present exciting enough content.
Version 3.0 was officially released at the end of that year, and at the same time came a higher discount.
For only $7, you can get unlimited worlds that can be continuously updated.
The official commitment is that no paid content will be launched until at least the official version 5.0 arrives.
This suddenly aroused the favor of many players.
With word of mouth spreading, Infinite World began to experience a small sales spike.
The Infinite World team spent the first three days just after releasing version 3.0.
Because they don’t know whether the content of this update can satisfy players.
What should they do if they are not satisfied?
If they are satisfied, what kind of content should they make next to satisfy players who have raised their threshold?
It seems that no matter whether it is a good result or a bad result, this team seems to be full of sorrow.
It seems that success also has its troubles.
Of course, they must still expect good results.
After three days, player feedback began to increase.
There is a player who is a designer engaged in urban planning.
Playing Infinite World was a coincidence. He was not recommended by anyone. He just suddenly saw the recommendation of Infinite World on the Battle.net platform, and the keywords of urban construction planning appeared on it.
His work gene was immediately activated.
Then he looked at the price of the game. It was only seven dollars, so it didn't matter whether it was fun or not.
Purchase, download and play the game. After simply experiencing the first ten minutes of the game tutorial, players can explore at will. The city building function is also activated when entering a new infinite world.
Then he began his urban planning journey.
In the city construction gameplay, this team has been carefully guided by the team of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and their control of details has become increasingly sophisticated.
So far, the government has announced the technology and construction systems of ten different civilizations. Different technologies and construction systems cannot be integrated casually, because each civilization will have its own unique style.
This is a bit like the redstone system in Minecraft. There are ten variants of the redstone system.
It seems that these ten systems are very basic, but their upper limit is infinitely high.
