Chapter 1538 We are really not short of money! (Happy Dragon Boat Festival!)
After the promotional video, there is also a trial video.
Compared with the promotional video, the trial video is much simpler. Yan Qi controls the protagonist and uses four methods: Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and soldiers to eliminate demons in a small border village.
Before entering the village, he first used Taoist elixirs and talismans to apply various buffs to himself, and then arranged formations to attract all nearby monsters. With extensive pre-war preparations, he could easily defeat a large number of monsters.
However, the state of the formation and talismans cannot last long, and more monsters are still emerging.
The protagonist takes off the spear from his back and fights directly with the monster using military tactics. From time to time, he shoots a bow and arrow to hit the monster in the distance.
If the previous Taoism focused more on early preparation, then now it has become an action game that requires reaction and operation. The protagonist uses all the weapons available around him to fight against monsters while killing towards the core area of the village.
Immediately afterwards, the protagonist encountered more and more powerful demons. Some demons wrapped in resentment could not be hurt by ordinary swords at all. Therefore, the Buddha's light on the protagonist's body flourished, and the skin all over his body turned into pale gold. The blazing Buddha's light made those
The dark evil energy melts quickly like ice cubes encountering the scorching sun.
Finally, facing a powerful evil spirit, the protagonist activated the Confucian method of studying things and saw that the evil spirit's weak points were the red sharp horns on its head and back. After dodging the evil spirit's attack, he swung the evil spirit's body with a sword.
Cut off the sharp corners!
Immediately afterwards, some other scenes appeared, such as a battlefield littered with corpses, a burning temple, a border town resisting to the death, the underworld road between Yin and Yang, etc.
It's just that these scenes just passed by in a flash, and they didn't spend as much space describing them as before. They just showed a scene.
This trial video is a real-life battle in the game. The four fighting methods of Taoism, Buddhism, War Art, and Confucianism are fully demonstrated, including the use of various weapons, various moves and movements.
As a senior action player, Yan Qi played the game several times before achieving the most satisfactory effect.
However, he did not show all the most exciting content in the game, but only selected some moves that can better highlight the characteristics of the four genres. After all, a deeper combat system, more combat scenes and monsters, and a more complex game plot.
We still need to wait for the game to be released so that players can experience it on their own.
The combination of the promotional video and the trial video can already give players a rough idea of the content of the game "Muli". Players' current feedback can basically predict what will happen after the game is released.
Of course, the premise is that the development is completed smoothly and all the content you want to be produced is completed, and you cannot fool the players with a semi-finished product.
"It is obviously different from the benchmark action games like "Return to the Shore" and "Eternal Reincarnation". It has its own characteristics. I don't know if players will like this approach." Yan Qi was a little uneasy.
He also opened this promotional video on the Elle Island website, but after all, the video has just been released, so it hasn't gained much popularity yet.
Yan Qi didn't care, and was going to continue playing the DE mode of the game, looking for bugs, and would come back to see it later.
This time, he and Chaolu Game Platform did not invest too many resources to promote the game, but only created a few basic recommendation columns because they wanted to see the real feedback from players.
If players discover the video of "Muli" and like it very much, it will naturally spread quickly and cause huge popularity, which proves that the game "Muli" is on the right track.
Now that a lot of resources are invested in publicity, real popularity and false popularity may be mixed together, making it difficult to determine the real popularity of "Moli", and naturally it is not easy to find its problems.
More than an hour later, Yan Qi submitted two bugs.
There is no way, today is the weekend, the efficiency of finding bugs is too low.
Yan Qi didn't pay much attention and continued to come back to read the comment section of the "Mu Li" video.
"It stands to reason that there should be some popularity. After all, I bought some basic recommendation fields and posted them using the official account of Chaolu Game Platform. There will always be some natural traffic, right?"
"Huh? There is indeed traffic, but something feels wrong."
"Where does all this heat come from?"
Yan Qi was shocked when he saw the popularity and discussion of this video.
Just over an hour after it was released, this video of "Muli" has already been ranked first on the game channel list, and according to this trend, it is probably only a matter of time before it reaches the home page!
Not only that, Yan Qi discovered that the keyword #鍍里# was also a hot search on the Elly Island website and Weibo!
This is outrageous!
And after careful observation, he found that the keyword #鍍里# was a hot search on Weibo, and it seemed that he had bought it...
Because this keyword is ranked fifth on the hot search list, and this position was basically occupied by some celebrities before.
What's more, the current popularity of "Moli" has not reached the level of hot searches at all. Passers-by don't know this, but Yan Qi himself knows it.
"What's going on? Chaolu Game Platform bought me Hot Search by the way?"
"No way, they didn't notify me about this? Besides, they don't work at all on weekends!"
Yan Qi was simply puzzled.
He originally wanted to see the natural popularity of "Muli" and determine the players' first impression of the game, but the plan was completely disrupted!
Yan Qi hurriedly opened the comment area and various forums to check.
"Another domestic 3A masterpiece is about to be released?"
"This scene, this action, and this battle system are great! I really want to play it. When will it be released?"
"Wanting to be exclusive on the Chaolu Game Platform? That's awesome! The Chaolu Game Platform finally has a decent and exclusive 3A masterpiece! Congratulations!"
"I would say that this kind of cultural heritage can only be grasped by domestic game producers. The Chinese-style games made by foreign game companies are simply superficial and unreliable!"
"I heard that this game seems to be still under development, but there is a lack of development funds. I think I am trying to raise money through this video this time."
"That's right. This team used to make mobile games. They definitely don't have enough funds to make a AAA masterpiece of this size! Where is the entrance to crowdfunding or pre-sales? I will pre-order a copy first and do my best for the development of domestic games.
A small contribution!"
"It seems that no pre-orders have been opened. Maybe the producers don't want to take the players' money."
"So there is no company investment in such a good project?"
"Oh, you don't know how bad these domestic investment companies are. Stand-alone games are a sinkhole for them. Who will invest? Who will let their money go down the drain?"
"Hey, it seems that several investment companies have said they are willing to invest in this game?"
"Aren't these the members of the 'Anti-Tengda Alliance'? Damn it, they are just pretending to be stupid, are they investing in "Shuli"? They are obviously investing to disgust Tengda! I don't believe these people have such good intentions!"
"That's right, I hope the team of "Muli" won't take this money... If you are really short of money, you can ask players to pre-order it. If you take money from this kind of company, you will never have peace in the future!"
"These companies have said that they will not interfere with the normal development of the "Muli" project. And I think this matter is not about the heart. If "Muli" fails to achieve the most perfect effect due to lack of funds,
This is definitely a loss and regret. If the investment from these companies can give us one more excellent domestic game, then why not?"
I have to say that the popularity of "Military" has indeed risen too quickly. From the Ellie Island website to hot searches to major game forums, it has sparked discussions among players at a speed that Yan Qi never expected.
upsurge.
It's just that this kind of discussion seems a bit strange to Yan Qi, as if something is wrong.
Why...the focus of everyone's discussion seems to be on "investment"?
Why does everyone assume that the "Muli" project is short of money?
It stands to reason that after a normal gamer sees the promotional video and trial video, his first reaction should be to discuss the game's style, combat system, plot, story background, etc., and by the way, say that he will buy the game as soon as it is released.
They generally don't particularly care about whether game developers have sufficient funds.
This is normal. Why do players care about this? They are not shareholders of the developer. As long as the game is fun and the players are happy to spend money, that is enough.
What's more, the "Muli" project is not short of money!
Yan Qi was very confused, where did the news about the lack of money come from? Are there so many people discussing it?
Could it be that...
Yan Qi connected all the recent events together and suddenly realized what the problem was.
The Anti-Tengda Alliance is recruiting companies from all over the world to join. As far as Yan Qi knows, some game platforms have already been roped in.
Two days ago, Nie Yunsheng came to Jingzhou in person to invest in Yan Qi, but Yan Qi declined.
After the video of "Muli" was released, there was suddenly a lot of interest on the Internet. Two investment companies in the Anti-Tengda Alliance expressed their willingness to provide investment for "Muli"...
These things happened so coincidentally and so coherently that Yan Qi was not stupid, so he naturally thought of them.
Obviously, the Anti-Tengda Alliance should have never thought about how to cover it up. After all, their purpose is to incite public opinion and get Yan Qi to accept investment.
"Good guy, before I begged my grandpa and grandma to find investment, but no one was willing to invest. Now that I don't want it, they still come to me and insist on giving me money?"
"That's outrageous!"
If we had relied on these investment companies, the project "Muli" would never have been born, let alone reach the level it is today.
But many things are so contradictory. All these investment companies are owners who don't see the rabbit but don't let the eagle fly. It's impossible to provide help when the time is right, and the icing on the cake is more urgent than the last.
Yan Qi also couldn't laugh or cry. On the one hand, it was because the attitude changes of these investment companies before and after were too obvious, and their faces were too ugly; on the other hand, it was because the project "Muli" was really not short of money!
You've clearly made it clear to Nie Yunsheng, so why don't you believe it?
"Forget it, let's make another announcement to clarify."
"How many times do I have to say it before you believe that I am really not short of money?"
