Mou Feng looked at the numbers on the web page and sat blankly on his chair.
He couldn't have imagined it.
In the end, "Breakout" still formed a snowball effect, although it was not as exaggerated as "Fantasy OL".
But FPS and turn-based online games are two different things
With the current hardware situation, the player base of the latter is obviously higher than that of the former.
But three hundred thousand... is already terrifying.
Last year, there were only a few million online game users.
And how many of them like FPS games?
but.
This is not the most incredible thing.
What Mou Feng finds most incredible is... the explosion mode.
At first, he thought this was just a variant of the ghost mode, which also added a completely useless economic system. It turned out to be the key to breaking through the snowball of "Breakout".
He really couldn't understand.
When I first saw that major forums were full of posts about explosion mode.
He was really confused.
Then I fell into deep self-doubt, and then started crazily making up classes.
He read through the posts sharing the explosion mode one by one, and then went to look at the videos made by players.
After crazy extra lessons.
He is not good at playing games, but he barely understands the attraction and fun of the explosion mode to players, and also understands the purpose of Lin Yao's economic system.
But at the time, he still felt that the blast mode was just like that. It might become a hobby for a small number of players, but it would not elevate "Breakout" to its peak.
But what happened next was completely beyond his expectation.
And now.
That gleaming three hundred thousand dollars was like a slap in his face...
It’s actually normal…
People are very complex.
Everyone has different ideas, just like Horizon's senior mission designer expressed his incomprehension on Twitter that Elden's Ring could get as high as 97 media points despite having no mission design at all.
This is a different concept.
"...Is it true that the wave behind pushes the wave ahead?"
I sat there for a long time.
Mou Feng finally came to his senses and sighed slowly, a little frustrated.
At this time.
His cell phone rang.
Mou Feng picked it up absently and glanced at it, then answered the phone.
The person on the other end of the phone was silent.
"Are you stressed now?" Mou Feng asked proactively.
"Everyone has pressure, and I usually have pressure too."
Boss Tianhu on the other end of the phone is still so tough.
But after saying this, he sighed: "But you were right at the beginning. You should not have packaged and sold the original second development part. "Fantasy OL" was already quite large at the time.
That's wrong... I just lost my temper in the board of directors, but the people at the insurance company not only shirk responsibility, but also accuse me in turn, it's really funny."
"Deserved it."
Mou Feng laughed and said unceremoniously: "The other party sells insurance. It's an industry that is beyond our reach. They understand games? I don't even dare to say that I understand. Just now, I was taught a lesson by a young girl.
What do they know? They are faced with options that are powerful for their own profession. Do you still expect them to think about Tianhu? Don’t be stupid. Still take responsibility? You are not a child, so you don’t need me to teach you, right? Tianhu’s grades are not good.
It's not their responsibility, but your responsibility as the leader. Don't be kicked out of the company you founded. It will be funny then."
"..."
Boss Tianhu was silent again. He actually understood the truth and just wanted to complain to his friend.
But my friend was so rude, which was a bit unexpected...
Mou Feng continued: "The current situation of "Breakout", don't think it is as simple as a game taking away the same type of shooting online games owned by Tianhu. The situation is far more complicated than this, although I don't really agree with the blast mode of this game.
It's fun, but I have to admit that this mode is very outstanding in terms of viewing. If Linmu Studio moves quickly and holds a competition while the popularity is high to gather a wave of popularity, and then take the opportunity to bundle and promote their hacking software,
Tianhu’s foundation may be shaken.”
"...Do you have any good ideas?"
When Boss Tianhu heard this, his tone slowly became serious.
"I can only hope that the other party won't move so fast."
Mou Feng said in a firm tone: "Of course, Tianhu also wants to do something. I don't know if it's your slow reaction or your wealthy life that has corrupted you. When a group of people came out to break out, you were the one who came up with the idea. Now you still want to
Ask me? Such a simple thing, how many users are there in Tianhu Chat? Are you leaving these users alone? Are you leaving such a large publicity channel and potential game user base? What is the point of publicity and distribution that is only scratching the surface? At this time
If we still don’t increase our efforts, when will we? When we go bankrupt?”
Boss Tianhu: "..."
"You can take care of yourself." Mou Feng suddenly sighed and was about to hang up the phone.
"etc."
Boss Tianhu immediately spoke up and said slowly: "Mou Feng, have you ever thought about coming back..."
Mou Feng: "..."
…
"The basic bonus...is about half a million."
Lin Yao sat at the head of the conference table, slightly raising her white chin and looking at the ceiling. After thinking for a while, she raised her white palm and made a five sign.
"This is much more than when I drew the car. If you add in the 5% profit from the New Year box key, the final amount will be quite a lot."
When Zhong Xiu heard this number, he laughed and joked.
The same time Mou Feng answered the phone.
Linmu Studio held its regular weekly meeting as usual, and the focus of the discussion at this regular meeting was, of course, the special New Year skins for the yearbook plan that will be launched immediately after New Year's Day, the limited-time gun-grabbing gameplay, competitions, and the activities of "Fantasy OL".
Mou Feng said he expected Lin Yao not to move so quickly.
But what he didn't know was.
Lin Yao has even decided on the schedule...
"In fact, it's not much. The top 16 will all have certain cash rewards, and the higher amount will also help increase the popularity of the competition."
Lin Yao shook her head.
Where is this?
The prize money for several popular e-sports competitions in her previous life was outrageous, especially those two games owned by Valve.
"Competitions are one of the best ways to attract players. The bonuses for the first session are still a bit small. If the overseas situation in the next session goes well, we will provide more basic bonuses and profits."
Lin Yao continued: "In addition, this is only a domestic competition, and it is online. I hope the next one can be held offline. Let's take this opportunity to practice and accumulate experience. Don't be in a situation when the time comes. It will be embarrassing.
Oh..."
"Should I find a dedicated person to take charge?" Mu Wanqing made a suggestion.
"Well, see if you can recruit someone with relevant experience. If not, find someone to train you."
Lin Yao nodded, then looked at Zhong Xiu and asked: "Then the competition is decided. Zhong Xiu is ready. Also, how is the situation with hacking software?"
Zhong Xiu replied: "Very good, "Breakout" has officially made the number of registered users of the software exceed five million. Among them, the proportion of users playing our games is not high, because almost all game users are using the Kaihei software, and
There are also people who use Kaihei as a communication software.”
"Well, let's keep up the good work... In addition, let's tie 'open black' into the promotion of "Breakout", especially during competitions."
"Understood, I will prepare."
"It seems like there's nothing going on. We've talked about the yearbook project, hacking software, "Fantasy OL", and overseas operations... Let's adjourn the meeting."
Lin Yao stood up: "Also, let me tell you something. I have to go out tomorrow. If there is an emergency, you can call me."
"Are you going to see refleta?" Mu Wanqing stood up and asked while smoothing her skirt.
