Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1130 Just leave it to fate
Chapter 1130 Just let nature take its course
Infinite World is released.
Just ten days after the end of the Star Carnival.
It was pretty much what Zhu Youxing had initially expected.
This time around, the player base really shrunk during the Game Carnival.
Although the decrease is only about 3%, this can indeed prove that Mickford's Infinite World has played an unexpected role.
Many players hope to play this cross-generational game that has been praised as the first time.
But at the same time, various public opinions about this game also appeared in many places.
Some people claiming to be insiders broke the news that the game Infinite World is actually just a semi-finished product. This game is just a concept, and many of the previously promised gameplay contents may not be realized.
But this kind of voice will be suppressed quickly, and it is difficult to make too big a splash on the Internet.
Zhu Youxing also tried to buy this game, ready to go back home and experience the so-called cross-generational game in this world.
Let’s see if it’s better compared to No Man’s Sky in the previous life.
“Zhuyou, what are you playing?”
At Zhu Youxing’s home, Zhu Youxing was alone in the study room, preparing to have fun in this infinite world.
Zhu Youcai walked in at this time, holding cut fruits in his hands. He came to Zhu Youxing and looked curiously at the computer screen in front of Zhu Youxing.
“The game that Mickford just released is called Infinite World.”
"Are you playing too?" Zhu Yucai said in surprise, "I think many people have announced that they are playing the game Infinite World today."
Zhu Youxing nodded: "Well, this game has become very popular recently. Wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't try it?"
"But I remember you said in the meeting before that this game will have a lot of troubles, and it won't be a good game? And it seems that there has been a lot of related negative news on the Internet recently, which also confirms your judgment about this game. .”
"You can only know how it is after you get started. By the way, where is the child?"
"Xiaomeng is taken care of, don't worry, let me see how the infinite world you are playing is like first. If it is fun, I will also play it. I remember that this game seems to have a multiplayer mode? The two of us can play online. Let’s play and see.”
Zhu Youxing shook his head, then pointed at the screen and said: "There is no multiplayer mode. It seems that this team has very little development experience. They encountered many development problems and no one helped solve them."
"Huh? It's just a multiplayer mode. How difficult can it be?" Zhu Yucai was a little confused.
“That is not difficult for Youxing Electronic Entertainment, but it is indeed not an easy task for ordinary game developers.”
Zhu Yucai thought for a moment, and she had already thought of at least three solutions to join the multiplayer mode in her mind.
But this is based on her more than 20 years of experience in game development.
In addition, there are Bamboo Games, Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and the special version of Unreal Engine exclusively provided by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
The combination of these multiple factors makes Zhuyoucai believe that adding a multiplayer mode to a game is not a problem at all.
However, it is indeed a problem for some people.
“Okay, I’m in, just look around and have a look. If you want to play, just tell me and I’ll let you play.”
After saying that, Zhu Youxing pulled a chair from the side and asked Zhu Youcai to sit on it.
Zhu Youcai walked to Zhu Youxing and sat down, then gently leaned against Zhu Yousing's side and patiently watched Zhu Yousing play the game.
Zhu Youxing's body moved slightly, then quickly calmed down, and then began to enter the game of the infinite world.
…
The young man with the afro was still unable to solve the problem of the multiplayer mode before the game was released.
They were bogged down by some procedural confusion and code confusion.
At the beginning, they were a team of more than a dozen people developing the game together. At that time, their team cooperation was relatively close.
Later, Mickford sent a hundred people to provide technical support, which helped them solve some complex code writing problems.
But a new problem emerged later, that is, these new programmers did not fully understand their game development methods.
He often has to communicate with these people, and then try his best to ensure that the codes and programs they type can be stably integrated with the game itself.
Just doing all this work is already a bit exhausting.
At the end, they didn’t even have time to create an online mode.
As Zhu Youxing said, young people with afro hair are too young.
And Mickford did not give them good support work.
Mickford’s own game development so far is not very strong, so naturally he cannot provide their team with better technical support.
It would be the greatest help to help them alleviate some of their manpower shortages.
Actually, giving them half a year would definitely solve the problem, but Myron Keys did not agree.
He still insisted on releasing the game on schedule.
According to his words: "Youxing Electronic Entertainment's games are released on time every time, and sometimes they are even released in advance. Why can't you release them on time? Why do you always have so many problems?"
People in the game development department are also having a hard time.
The reason why Youxing Electronic Entertainment’s games are not postponed is because they always determine the release date when the game is basically completed.
The release date will never be announced until it is completed.
In this way, even if Youxing Electronic Entertainment encounters some unexpected situations, it will have an excuse to slowly polish the game.
And players are also very tolerant of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
If someone else’s game didn’t announce the release date after it was released, it would probably have been scolded by the players.
But Youxing Electronic Entertainment can be willful.
Because players know that Youxing Electronic Entertainment can bring them the most fun games.
“Hey...let it be up to fate...”
The young man with an afro looked at the released game and could only helplessly shake his head.
But he doesn’t intend to give up.
No matter what the sales volume of the game is later, it will not be the reason for him to give up.
He has already made arrangements with his team. The next work will not be easy. They have to make up for the shortcomings in the early stages of the game.
This is a game that they have put a lot of effort into, and they don’t want this effort to end up as an unfinished product that will become a permanent regret.
So he wanted to do his best to make up for it.
As for the reputation of players, he actually has little hope for it.
On the first day, Infinite World's sales exploded, with sales exceeding one million on the first day. It was supposed to be a medium-sized game, but it has the potential to compete with large-scale games.
