Ruan Song nodded, "Production and operation are regarded as the two most important things in our studio. We require the top management to accept player feedback in a timely manner and respond as quickly as possible."
On the first day of "Death Planet", four major areas were opened, and each area was full!
In order to respond to the enthusiasm of players, the company is preparing to open several servers that will be released next month in advance so that players will not run out of games to play.
However, the game "Death Planet" is not without any faults. Because it is well-made and has diverse gameplay, it also takes up a lot of running memory and system memory.
This will cause some computers with poor hardware performance to be unable to play the game at all, causing lag or processor heat during play.
For a competitive game, lagging is something that players absolutely cannot tolerate.
On the second day after the game was released, many people raised this question on the game forum.
Favorite Assassin posted: "Why does this game have such high hardware requirements? The laptop I bought can't carry it around at all. After playing for two hours, the laptop was so hot it could fry an egg!"
His post resonated with everyone, and players responded with comments.
Director, I would like to add: "Same! My computer has no lag at all when playing "Alliance", but it keeps getting laggy when playing "Dead Planet"!"
Little L’s brother: “It makes me cry when I say it. I forced to turn on the highest image quality, and the graphics card has been scrapped!”
Looking northwest: "It's obviously an online game, but why do the hardware requirements have to be the same as console games? How can people play it?"
d·e: "Our school is broken and the campus network is full of garbage. I spent a whole night downloading it, but it told me that the hardware performance is not enough and it cannot run. Are you angry? (Expression: Angry! Angry! Angry!)"
Reset: “@《Death Planet》Forum Administrator, don’t the official think of a solution? Or do you really plan to make it a console game? Computers with less than 5,000 yuan are not worthy of playing it?”
…
"The popularity of "Death Planet" exceeded expectations!" Penguin Games, Operations Director Liu Yi read the report of the data department at the company's morning meeting, "Only three days after the game was released, the highest number of simultaneous online players exceeded three million!"
"Although this data is not as good as our "Dungeon", "CF", and "League" data, they have just been released, and the potential in the future is still great."
"Correspondingly, the number of our "League" players online began to decline during the same period."
"The only good news is that their games require too high computer configurations, which may become a negative factor restricting the growth of players."
Qiu Yong, the general manager of PC games, has already felt the pressure that Yan Bo once felt. In just a few days, his opponents have already achieved such achievements. If they are allowed to develop for another year, won't "League" be in disgrace?
"We must cut off the traffic and hold on to this momentum!" Qiu Yong said, "Similar to mobile games, contact the group and our company's channels must block all communication channels about "Death Planet"!"
"Well, this is inevitable. Without our channels to spread the word, their popularity will definitely decrease!" Liu Yi wrote this down and prepared to implement it immediately.
"I think we can carry out some activities to steal these players." Another senior executive suggested.
"Tell me what you think." Qiu Yong looked at him.
"That's what I think." The senior executive said, "Our client games often do some game return activities to attract players, such as giving away equipment, gift packages, etc. This time, it is better to have a big celebration.
activities to attract players to return and at the same time inhibit the growth of player traffic of "Dead Planet"."
"This is a good idea." Qiu Yong asked the others, and everyone agreed, so he said: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you! Be quick and catch them off guard!"
"With these measures, and the fact that they can't solve the problem of high computer configuration requirements for games, it is estimated that the building block game can be an army!" said the director of the technical department.
…
The speed of Penguin Games was very fast, and soon players discovered that links related to "Death Planet" posted on QQ and Weixin were blocked and deleted.
At the same time, on multiple game platforms, the game "Death Planet" cannot be downloaded! You can only download it from the official website of "Death Planet" or the official website of Block Games.
Players are accustomed to this kind of operation, not just in building block games, and it does not affect their enthusiasm for the game too much.
However, Penguin Games’ “player return” plan has really affected the growth of players of “Dead Planet”.
First of all, "League", which has always ranked first in the popularity list of PC games, suddenly announced the opening of a limited-time mode with unlimited firepower. This is a very popular mode among players, and it immediately attracted many players.
"CF", "DNF", "Speed" and other PC games owned by Penguin have started return activities for old players. Game friends have returned and given generous rewards. These activities have indeed brought many players back.
On the Internet, the voices complaining about the high configuration requirements of the game "Death Planet" are getting louder and louder. Some trolls even left messages on related topics, asking why "the game has such high configuration requirements to play dirty code", "As we all know, "Death Planet"
"It's a computer game that will burn out a computer after playing it for a day." There are many words like "The official of the Block Game doesn't consider us ordinary players at all and has abandoned the game."
There are also some players who really get carried away and complain about the Jenga game.
Building Block Games naturally knows these feedbacks.
"This problem is difficult to solve." Ruan Song said to Meng Xiaobai with some distress, "Of course we can reduce the configuration requirements, but it will also reduce our game experience. We need to delete a lot of game content and reduce the game quality.
wait."
"Our company's consistent goal is to make high-quality games, which goes against our original intention. If we don't lower the configuration requirements, it will limit the spread of the game."
"But we can't require players to use high-configuration computers..."
"Then let's deal with it according to the method of "Super Battlefield"." Meng Xiaobai said.
"Cloud gaming?" Ruan Song knew what he meant. When he launched the Mars smartphone, he applied cloud gaming technology, which uses cloud servers to run game content. Players only need to read it, so that the player's computer can
Reduce a lot of calculations and save storage space.
"But that is a mobile game, and it can only be used with 5G. It has a small space and is not technically supported." Ruan Song was puzzled.
"The transmission speed of optical fiber is not slow either. What needs to be solved is the problem of the cloud server," Meng Xiaobai said.
