Chapter 129 Official Super Recommendation! (Third update, 2500 monthly ticket for additional update)
Tuesday, January 23rd.
At this time, the internal atmosphere of Studio 404 was a little bit depressing.
After a lot of hard work yesterday, I successfully changed the release date with the official. At 10 o'clock this morning, "Walking with Darkness" was officially released.
Of course, we have also made some related publicity arrangements, such as changing the final release date of the previously submitted promotional video to the 23rd, and releasing a new trailer for reverse bounce on the official Weibo of 404 Studio.
But unfortunately, it has little effect!
404 Studio is not a big company now, and the popularity of "Ordinary Life" has also dissipated. In addition, "Walking with Darkness" is a horror game, and it didn't have much popularity before.
The studio's official Weibo only has a few hundred thousand fans in total, so how many people can see a reverse bounce notice?
As for the promotional video, no one even paid attention to it.
Because changing the video content will not send new push messages to the viewers.
Therefore, after the game was released, everyone stared eagerly at the sales data from 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock, and after lunch until two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
The game's sales still failed to break triple digits.
This is too miserable!
To put it bluntly, the first order for a popular novel on a novel website cannot be limited to this!
Everyone was devastated and felt more and more that reverse bounce was not a good decision.
Lu Zhixing was still comforting everyone: "Don't worry, you should think in a more optimistic direction.
“The popularity of the game is relatively low now, and it’s not necessarily because of our reverse bounce. Maybe it’s because it’s already very low?
"A few days earlier and a few days late are basically the same."
Liu Bo was stunned: "Brother Lu, your words have no comfort effect at all!"
Zhao Haoyan sighed melancholy: "Will our company go bankrupt? We don't want that kind of thing! We just started our business not long ago!"
Lu Yixiao looked at Lu Zhixing: "Brother Lu, stop hiding. Where is the feeling of strategizing that you had in "Ordinary Life" before? Come on, come up with any backup plans if you have any!"
Lu Zhixing spread his hands and said: "There is really no last resort. Our plan is to impress players with the quality of the game."
Li Rushan was secretly happy, what were he thinking? The road is always on my side!
He took out his cell phone and operated it quickly.
"Okay, everyone, stop looking so sad and be optimistic like me and Mr. Lu, do you understand?
"I have already ordered a big cake and various takeaways. After all, it is working time now. It is not good to go out to eat directly and it is not in compliance with company regulations. But adding an afternoon tea is totally fine!
"Let's all be happy and go play games and collect information!"
With Li Rushan's efforts to liven up the atmosphere, the gloomy situation in Studio 404 finally improved.
Soon, everyone began to think of ways to divert their attention, some using food, some using TV series, some using games...
Some people even climbed up the wall in anger.
Li Rushan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, what a great company!
It's a pity that such a good company cannot directly continue to invest.
However, during this time, he has been studying the loopholes in the contract, and he can definitely think of other ways to reincarnate Studio 404, and then he should be able to continue investing money.
It just requires a little special operation...
Just as he was thinking happily, he suddenly heard Yao Wenyang shouting in surprise: "Fuck! Fuck, Fuck!"
This shout startled the employees who were anesthetizing themselves.
Liu Bo was stuffing a large piece of cake into his mouth when he heard this and stopped: "What's wrong?"
Yao Wenyang had an expression of surprise on his face. He looked at Lu Zhixing and said, "Mr. Lu, you still said you have no backup plan?"
He looked at Li Rushan again: "Mr. Li, I understand. You and Mr. Lu will sing along. This has been discussed a long time ago, right?"
Li Rushan was confused: "What has been discussed? What are you talking about?"
Yao Wenyang pointed to the computer screen: "The official has arranged a special recommendation for our game! Special recommendation! The kind that will be hung directly on the home page for a month!"
"puff!"
Li Rushan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, what the hell?
One month recommendation?
I don’t read much, don’t lie to me, can the official recommend this kind of thing?
Others were also shocked. They had never heard that the official website had such a recommendation slot. The best recommendation before was only on the homepage for a week. Other recommendations either only stayed on the homepage for two or three days, or required several games.
Rolling propaganda together.
Do you have any recommendations for waiting for a month?
Even his own son cannot do this!
Everyone came over one after another.
I saw that what Yao Wenyang opened was indeed the official game platform, and a few big words were displayed prominently on the homepage.
"Warmly congratulate the Jinghai Municipal Research Institute for its significant achievements in combating hacker crimes in the 'Taiqing' deep virtual space!"
Everyone looked at Yao Wenyang with some confusion: "Old Yao, are you awake? This is indeed posted on the home page, but this is news, what does it have to do with our game?"
Yao Wenyang explained: "Didn't you realize that the background image of this news used the resources of our game? This is the material in the promotional image of "Walking with Darkness"!"
Everyone stared at it, it was true.
It can be clearly seen from the base map that this is a darker background, with skyscrapers covered with plants vaguely visible, and dark clouds in the sky... It is indeed a resource for "Walking with Darkness".
"Officially... put the wrong picture?"
Everyone was confused and could only think of this explanation.
The official platform is full of pictures of various games, so even if there is any big news or information to be published, game-style base pictures or artistic calligraphy will usually be used to make it less obtrusive. But the problem is that these resources are generally
It is officially produced by itself, so how can we directly use resources from other games?
Yao Wenyang clicked in: "Then what do you think is inside?"
Liu Bo shook his head slightly: "What else could it be? It's just a press release... Damn it! What's going on?"
This is indeed a press release, but between the articles, there is a recommended link to "Walking with Darkness"!
The game's promotional resources are placed directly at the front of the manuscript, which is very conspicuous.
Although the press release below mainly introduces the major achievements made by Jinghai in combating hackers, if you look closely, you will find that it is also inseparable from "Walking with Darkness"!
Everyone gathered around the computer and read the press release word for word with excitement.
The general idea is that this time the Jinghai Research Institute has achieved significant results in combating the "Taiqing" deep virtual world hackers, destroying several virtual spaces that were used as broilers for foreign hackers in one fell swoop, and also captured many domestic hackers for these foreign hackers.
The criminal gang that provided springboard and support captured more than 20 criminals in total!
These people all belong to a notorious hacker organization ATE. Their main business is to steal our country's security information, spread bad ideas, and undermine network security. This time, their domestic organizations suffered heavy losses, and one of their lines was even
Uprooted.
This undoubtedly makes all virtual spaces in the country safer.
But the point is not here, but that the reason why this operation was successful was because the virtual space built by a designer from Jinghai based on the game blueprint created great difficulties for these hackers during the intrusion process, so the official
Only then can we track them down and uproot them without alerting them!
It can be said that at least a small part of the success of this operation must be attributed to this game.
And what is this game?
It is the new work developed by 404 Studio, "Walking with Darkness"!
Of course, there is no explanation of how "Walking with Darkness" "creates great difficulties for these hackers during the invasion process."
After all, these details are relatively sensitive information.
But no matter what, the official arrangement of "Walking with Darkness" in the press release and a very special recommendation position is enough to show the great role this game has played.
The influence of this press release should not be underestimated. Although similar articles on the official platform will not show the number of reads, if you think about it with your own feet, everyone who enters the official platform will see it at first glance.
The amount is absolutely an astronomical figure!
Sure enough, everyone clicked on the major forums to check and found that discussions about the game "Walking with Darkness" had exploded in an instant!
