When the players are in full swing to play the dungeon.
The seven-day retention rate data of "World of Warcraft" also came out at 1168%!
The game DAU, which is the number of daily active users, is about 30 million or nearly 40 million worldwide!
There are nearly 40 million daily active users!
As for the number of monthly active users, although the game has not yet been in public beta for a month and cannot be counted, it may exceed 100 million.
This is scary data! It’s really scary.
Take Tianhu's MMORPG as an example. The seven-day retention rate of most of their games is only 10%-13%. No matter how high it is, if it reaches 20%, then the game will be considered a great success.
It’s enough to hold a celebration banquet. As you can imagine,
How terrifying are the statistics of "World of Warcraft".
certainly.
This is limited to here. In Lin Yao's previous life, when she came here, she heard that many game companies no longer listed the seven-day retention rate as their main reference data, and many companies did not even look at this data at all.
As for why, there is a saying that mobile games can make back their money in three days. As long as the retention rate is 10% in three days... then it doesn't matter after that, since they are all profitable anyway.
Lin Yao didn't know whether this statement was true or false.
She estimated that there was a high probability that it was true, otherwise those reskinned mobile games would not have continued in succession.
It wasn't until the players finally couldn't stand it any longer, and the harsh version of the game gave them a head-on blow that they calmed down.
But there is no point in dwelling on things from the past life.
Anyway, Lin Yao only knows that the performance of "World of Warcraft" here is considered a huge success compared with all online games.
The individual data are the same. The seven-day retention rate is 68%!
This at least proves that more than 60% of new users will start the game again within seven days!
You must know that "World of Warcraft" is now a phenomenon-level online game. Once a game becomes popular, it means that more players will follow suit.
Many players see so many people playing, so in order to have a common topic, they open an account. After playing for a while, they feel that it is not suitable for them, and they never log in again.
This situation existed whether it was Lin Yao's previous life or here.
The more popular a game is, the more serious this situation will be. "World of Warcraft" is quite popular here.
But it still retains such a high retention rate.
The number of daily active users is even more outrageous. Not to mention that it is still rising. The two companies behind Gayer, Gilbert and Fantasy Kingdom, are almost watching helplessly as many players have not registered for the Vaporave gaming platform at all, or have registered for a few.
Players who logged in flocked to the Vaporave gaming platform.
While they have made the daily active user data of "World of Warcraft" rise, they have also made the daily active users of the Vaporave game platform higher and higher...
Now, the gap between Gayer game platform and Linmu Studio’s game platform is getting wider and wider.
Seeing this scene, they really felt that it was over. Of course.
Those who feel this more deeply are Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng from Tianhu...
Now Linmu Studio can be regarded as a large and first-tier developer.
Many people are staring.
There is no need for Linmu Studio to announce it themselves,
After "World of Warcraft" became popular, many statistical agencies released relevant data about "World of Warcraft".
In the end, the data they gave was not much different from Linmu Studio's own internal statistics.
So Li Guangsheng quickly saw the exaggerated and miraculous seven-day retention rate and daily active user data of "World of Warcraft".
Then the next second, his vision went dark.
"We Tianhu, even if we add up all the games, we don't have that many..."
Li Guangsheng slumped down on his chair, looked at the screen, and opened his mouth like a drowning fish.
After he played "World of Warcraft" in the open beta, he did another psychological test.
This time it’s not about adding layers of code.
He began to think in the boldest direction. But he didn't expect it.
The most outrageous data he could think of was still outrageous without real data.
Tell the truth.
This hit him really hard, very hard. It could almost be said to be devastating...
Tianhu has been operating for such a long time and has many games under it, but in the end, they are not enough to play one game.
How to play this! How to play! Stand aside.
Mou Feng patted his small shoulder.
This time he didn't dare to ask him to play "Diablo" to calm down.
I lost my head last time...
Now that such cruel facts are in front of him, if he hits Li Guangsheng again, he will really collapse.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, there is still a glimmer of hope. Although... "World of Warcraft" has come out on top, but they chose the western fantasy theme in order to take into account the overseas market. This also gave us a breathing space, at least for our
The game situation is a little better than expected, isn't it?"
Mou Feng thought for a while and finally found an angle and comforted Li Guangsheng: "At least our game can still operate..."
It would be better not to say this.
Li Guangsheng's eyes turned red when he said this. Master Shen T can still continue to operate!
"World of Warcraft" has taken away almost half of the players of Tianhu's MMORPG.
Although this data is not rigorous.
But Li Guangsheng really didn't dare to keep counting anymore. His heart really couldn't bear it.
At least not now.
"Don't be like this, cheer up... Let's let a few core members of the project team play "World of Warcraft" first."
Mou Feng looked at Li Guangsheng, whose eyes were red, sighed, patted him on the shoulder again, and then made a suggestion.
"What do you mean?" Li Guangsheng turned his head sharply.
"Let everyone recognize the fact that we are no better than Linmu Studio, and then let them learn from each other's experience and take a good look at how Linmu Studio designs dungeons, writes stories, builds world views, and makes players stay!
We should change what we need to change, make progress slowly, cross the river by following each other, and strive to be better than the old before."
Mou Feng held Li Guangsheng's shoulders and said softly: "Just like "Fantasy OL" taught us how to make turn-based games, now they are teaching us how to make MMORPGs, so... let's learn hard."
"...Linmu Studio taught us how to make games when it was first established. Then they worked in the single-player field for a while and came back to make online games. Can they still teach us!?" When Li Guangsheng heard this, he instantly collapsed. It made sense to him.
We all understand, but it’s really shocking: “What is this? You’re still a teenager after half your life!?”
"... How can there be half a lifetime? How many years have they been established?" Mou Feng replied silently.
Li Guangsheng became even more depressed.
"Actually, I have an idea."
Seeing that his friend still hadn't cheered up, Mou Feng hesitated for a moment and finally said, "I was still hesitant at first, but this seems like a good time to convince you. Just listen to it and do it if you think it works. If not, forget it."
"What?" Li Guangsheng managed to cheer up.
"Let's talk to Linmu Studio and convince them to let our game be launched on the Vaporave game platform."
Mou Feng came up with a bold idea.
"Huh?" Li Guangsheng stood up suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"This is not a sudden thought on my part, but just look at the choices and trends of players now."
Mou Feng shook his head gently and explained: "Almost every player now has an account on the Vaporave game platform, especially domestic players... This time, Linmu Studio's "World of Warcraft" has achieved its current results. In fact, a large part of it is
All credit goes to the Vaporave gaming platform. They have gathered players through one high-quality game after another, and now they have created a sharp sword called 'traffic'.
To be honest, in terms of grabbing players, even Gayer can't beat them, so let's not talk about us... At this time, instead of insisting that your game should not be launched on the enemy's platform, it is better to give up your fearless persistence and take the initiative to
Embracing the Vaporave game platform, I can guarantee that if our games can appear on the Vaporave game platform, we will definitely attract a lot of new players."
Li Guangsheng: "..."
He fell silent.
"The other suggestion is about mobile online games." Mou Feng saw that Li Guangsheng was silent and continued: "Guang, let's take a big gamble! Now Linmu Studio is obviously very interested in the mobile phone field, although I have never seen it.
I have met Lin Yao a few times, but I know that basically every decision she makes revolves around games, and the same should be true for mobile phones.
Why don't we just work hard, second place will be second, and followers will follow followers. I am also optimistic about the new generation of communication technology and the new hardware of mobile phones after it is commercialized, so why not increase investment in this area, and then continue to touch Linmu Studio
Cross the River, whatever type of mobile game they played in the early stage, we will follow whatever type of mobile game they play...
Follow the trend openly, think about why they do this, and add your own ideas. At the same time, start developing your own games in this area. If the potential of this new direction of mobile phones is as great as client games, even if we are now suppressed by Linmu Studio
If you can't hold your head high, if you can open up the market in the field of mobile online games, you will definitely be able to live well.
After all, with new hardware, even if Linmu Studio is a step faster, it won’t be much faster.”
Li Guangsheng opened his mouth, and then said hoarsely: "You trust Lin Yao so much? What if she is wrong? Did she miss it?" Mou Feng asked in return. Li
Guangsheng was speechless.
He lowered his head, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "I understand, I will contact the major mobile phone manufacturers in the Jiaming Alliance. It is estimated that after the new generation of communication technology is commercialized, they will seize the opportunity to launch new models. By then we will
Talk to them, try to get a prototype, and then use it as a basis to research and develop mobile online games... Then you can go with us."
"Okay." Mou Feng nodded immediately.
"As for Tianhu's games to be launched on the Vaporave game platform... To be honest, putting aside the psychological burden, it seems feasible. I will think about it more carefully."
Li Guangsheng hesitated for a while: "But... the question is if we are willing to log in, will the Vaporave game platform want us? After all, we are an enemy company! Besides, we can't let the game be exclusively launched on the Vaporave game platform, and we will definitely keep our own
channel, otherwise life or death will almost all depend on Lin Mu Studio. In this case, can they really agree?"
"should be."
Mou Feng thought for a moment, nodded, and then looked out the window:
"If you are really worried, you can wait. A company should talk to Lin Yao about this matter soon."
"Who? Which one?" Li Guangsheng was a little curious.
"Who else...the two companies behind Gayer, they are probably more distressed than us. "World of Warcraft" is so unexpected..."
Gayer.
Frank from Gilbert Company and Hawkins from Dreamland were sitting opposite each other.
Leaning on the sofa, silent. This time.
Neither of them got angry, nor did they fight each other. In the living room.
There was dead silence. Because neither of them expected it.
"World of Warcraft" can be so popular... its impact is even more exaggerated than "Diablo"!
If "Diablo" adds a unique game to the Vaporave game platform that can continuously attract single-player players, it is equivalent to a missile.
The release of "World of Warcraft"... is equivalent to dropping a nuclear bomb.
Popular online games on the Vaporave game platform! There are already a lot of them!
Adding in the MMORPG type "World of Warcraft", it almost covers all the popular online game types.
Nowadays, every online game player has downloaded the Vaporave gaming platform.
And these are all potential users!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now they dare not think about what will happen after the release of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" at the end of the year.
Gayer takes the lead and competes with them!
What’s even more troublesome is that none of the games owned by the two companies are now available on the Vaporave game platform, so these traffics have nothing to do with them!
On the contrary, their games will be dragged down because they are exclusive to Gayer.
The Vaporave game platform will make many unsettled players, many players who think the games of the two companies are playable or not, choose to give up buying their games!
"what to do?"
Finally, after a long silence, Hawkins spoke up.
This time he didn't speak too loudly because he was really out of temper.
Frank was silent for a moment: "Let's withstand this wave of "World of Warcraft" craze. Now the player forums are all discussing dungeons, speedrunning, equipment... the impact is really too great."
I know what you are thinking, and don’t hide it from me. We are all the same. After the popularity of "World of Warcraft" has passed, let's talk to Linmu Studio... and strive to open up the Vapor-ave game platform and our platform, dual platforms.
Mutual authentication login.
This is our only way out. If Linmu Studio disagrees, we can make concessions during negotiations and try it out in North America first, leaving other regions alone.
I believe that when it comes to this, Linmu Studio will agree. Our games are on one side, Gayer is dead, and antitrust is on the other side.
"--Fine."
Hawkins glanced at him, sighed, and then stood up directly: "Then let's withstand the heat of World of Warcraft first."
Say it.
He dragged his tired body, turned around and left the living room.
He looked like he was resigned to his fate, but he just walked out of the door.
The fatigue on Hawkins' face disappeared instantly.
He turned directly to the secretary and said: "Continue to contact Lin Mu Studio. Don't worry about Gayer this time, let's talk about recommendations!"
At the same time, he watched Hawkins leave.
Frank stood up suddenly and picked up the phone: "You continue to contact Linmu Studio and tell them what I think. I want to talk to Lin Yao! We can make major concessions!"
The two of them changed their faces at the same time.
can only say.
As expected of a good brother...
at the same time.
Linmu Studio.
"World of Warcraft"
It was a huge success and the whole company was filled with joy.
Even the work efficiency is much higher.
It was in sharp contrast to the atmosphere where Tianhu felt like she was mourning her concubine.
As for Lin Yao, after watching the live broadcast that day, she held a celebration banquet with the staff, and then she basically calmed down.
Because there are still many things he needs to do. This will.
Lin Yao is currently drawing the card faces of the legendary card packs in the classic card packs of "Hearthstone" and writing related effect descriptions.
It's almost over.
There are only three cards left.
Three cheating cards.
They are Nat Pagle, Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo, Milhouse Manastorm...
These three cards were quite famous in Lin Yao's previous life...
She is considering whether to get rid of these cards because they are so bad.
Lin Yao can still understand the Nat Pagle card.
This card is actually quite useful and can draw more cards...
It is too easy to be solved, and at the same time, it is possible to draw cards and kill yourself.
But in general, it's still somewhat useful.
But the last two are really funny...
Especially the last one!
Lin Yao has never experienced the era when "Hearthstone" only had classic card packs, so he really didn't understand what the purpose of the card Milhouse Mana Storm was.
There are also many great spells in classic card packs. Playing this card directly allows the enemy to cast spells at 0 cost. Isn’t this asking for death?
So she wanted to just get rid of this legendary card. She thought about it carefully for a moment.
Lin Yao shook her head slightly, and then drew a circle on the three legendary cards.
Then I put down my pen and looked through the legendary cards I drew. Because Warcraft is only in public beta, and the gameplay needs to be adapted,
Now take the initial version of "Hearthstone" envisioned by Lin Yao
Only classic card packs.
And Lin Yao did not go out of his way to change the classic cards into later versions of core cards. The reason why the entire classic card pack was changed into core cards in the previous version of "Hearthstone" was mainly because the effects of many subsequent cards became more and more exaggerated.
Many classic cards cannot keep up with the rhythm, so they have been revised.
For example, the 'Black Knight', a majestic legend, can only destroy one taunt target, and it is short of size... It is really difficult to build in the future.
But here, unlike Lin Yao's previous life, the subsequent version has not been updated, and there are not so many cards with exaggerated effects.
Moreover, in the classic card packs, although the designs of many legendary cards are bad, there are also some that are very good and can be constructed in the subsequent environment of fighting between gods.
For example, those dragons, except for Ysera and Onyxia, are indeed better to use after the revision than the old version.
Other cards like Malygos, Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza, even old versions of cards, Wild can be added to the build, and in some cases, they are even better!
Even if it is a Time Dragon, if it is discovered through exploration and photographed, it can put some pressure on the opponent.
Therefore, the changes to the classic card pack are not very big.
Lin Yao carefully looked through the legend card she drew, recalled it again, and put it aside after making sure nothing was missing.
Then, she rubbed her eyebrows.
The cards have been solved and the game development has gone smoothly, but there are still problems.
"World of Warcraft" is only in open beta now, which means that "Hearthstone" cannot be announced too soon.
After all, many Hearthstone cards are related to subsequent versions of "World of Warcraft".
If it's too slow, if you really wait for the Wrath of the Lich King version to be released before announcing "Hearthstone", then the day lily will be cold.
And if it is too fast, one of the two games will have to be inferior. If the version of "World of Warcraft" is updated too fast, it will follow the same old path of the previous life. If we really want a Burning Expedition expansion pack, all "Warcraft" will be called it.
Advance the dungeon with the named BOSS, and then come to the peak of Wrath of the Lich King. Then the only thing left is Wrath of the Lich King... You can only make him angry again and again. After the official version is finished, go to the classic server.
angry.
And "Hearthstone" is too slow, and the environment will be solidified and it will probably be too cold.
So Lin Yao needs to find a balance.
The best result is... that "Hearthstone" and "World of Warcraft" can be updated simultaneously.
"...Forget it, it shouldn't be a big problem until the DK version comes out."
The more Lin Yao thought about it, the more headache she got. She had no thoughts for a moment, so she simply gave up and turned around to pick up another piece of information.
Qi Jianhua and Zhong Xiu’s final choice of ‘multimedia project’ was “Resident Evil”.
In terms of games, Lin Yao wrote a first-generation script.
As for movies, Qi Jianhua asked Lin Yao for her opinion. Lin Yao thought about it and gave him a synopsis of the "Resident Evil" Generation 0 story.
Yes. There is still Generation 0 of Resident Evil.
As for the story of Generation 0, it is really suitable for adaptation. As long as it is slightly modified, it can be just in line with the previous generation of games, but the protagonist in it has little to do with subsequent works.
None of the famous decent characters in Resident Evil appear in it.
It won’t affect the game, and the story is interesting. There’s also a beautiful girl!
Qi Jianhua seems to be very satisfied with the story and has already hired someone to write a script.
Lin Yao browsed through it for a while, circled the points that he paid attention to, and prepared to discuss it with Qi Jianhua later, then threw the script aside.
Then, she read a few more documents submitted by Mu Wanqing and signed a few names.
"Is there anything else...let me see."
Lin Yao quickly finished the matters that required her to make decisions, and then continued to flip through the file box.
But this time.
Dong Dong.
"Please come in."
Lin Yao raised her head.
Mu Wanqing moved lightly, closed the door, and walked to Lin Yao's side.
"What's the matter?"
Mu Wanqing got straight to the point: "Gibber Company and Dreamland contacted us again, and both made concessions to a certain extent, and even said they could continue the discussion."
"Then it seems that World of Warcraft has a good effect."
Lin Yao smiled slightly: "Then just tell them directly. Dual-platform login is OK. They can log in to the game on any number of platforms. We do not require the Vaporave game platform to be exclusive, but binding a dual-platform account requires two platforms to log in to the game.
Forget this trick and make it more convenient for players.
In addition, if they talk about recommendation positions, mention the licensing of the images of a few famous figures and commissions. You can decide how to talk about it specifically! Miss Mu, anyway, these are our demands."
Gibbs and Dreamland are willing to come back.
Of course, Lin Yao couldn't turn them away. After all, their games are still very popular in Europe and the United States...
Just don't let them stop poaching.
As for monopoly... Lin Yao doesn't want to be troubled by others using the name of anti-monopoly.
However, if they leave and want to come back, they have to pay some price.
"good."
Mu Wanqing nodded, and then said: "I will explain it. In addition, there are a few more things that I will report to you. You can see if you have time. If not, you can leave it alone."
"Um?"
"The first CG draft of the sequel to "Dark Souls" has been completed. Qi Jianhua said that you can go and take a look when you have time. There is news from You Media that the prototype mobile phone has been made and the system is being installed at Kaishan Research Laboratory. You
If you are interested, you can take a look. Also, part of the first expansion pack of "World of Warcraft", "The Burning Crusade", is already playable. Lei Hongguang seems to want you to play the game."
"Finally, I also got news that your name may appear very high on the October list... Be mentally prepared, many people may call you rich woman..."
"..."
Lin Yao was thinking about work after hearing the previous three things.
Suddenly, Mu Wan changed the subject of the conversation in a nonchalant manner.
She was stunned: "Huh?"
