Chapter 433: Chapter 417: Endless Big News
Translator: 549690339
Lincoln thought about the difficulty of finding vehicles from the battlefields of the last century and immediately decided to give up.
These things were all in museums, treated as antiques for protection and exhibition, so it was impossible to casually take them out for him to play with.
However, on second thought, even if they generously let him play with them, he wouldnât dareâŠ
Who would dare fly a century-old airplane?
Trying to die early or something?
But there are always more solutions than difficulties. Lincoln suddenly remembered the gun he had crafted by hand at home.
If he could craft an M1911 by hand, thereâs no reason he couldnât craft Mausers and Mosin-Nagants, right?!
Similarly, thereâs no reason he couldnât make old-fashioned tanks and biplanes from World War I!
Especially since blueprints for these things can be found directly onlineâŠ
For Lincoln, it wasnât that difficult.
At most, once made, the tanks couldnât be casually driven on roads and the planes couldnât be casually flown.
And both couldnât be equipped with real machine gunsâŠ
Lincoln shook his head, deciding to start making them first and see how far he could go with it.
If it doesnât work out, thatâs fine. With the data accumulated by Cloud Dream now, even if itâs purely algorithmic simulation, the sensory experience of these vehicles and firearms is not too far off.
Lincolnâs troubles were merely in pursuit of perfection.
So he nodded to Randall and Fred again: âLeave this to me.â
âUnderstood. Next is the choice of battlefields.â Randall continued: âWe have initially screened forty relatively representative battles. Boss, do you think they meet your requirements?â
Under the incredulous gaze of Randall and Fred, Lincoln quickly went through the materials in his hand.
Then he looked at the two disbelieving men and said, âOverall, itâs not bad, but there are two issues to pay attention to.â
âFirst is the issue of battlefield range: we are making a game, and when choosing battlefields, we must consider the playerâs gaming experience.â
âIf the battlefield is too large, it will cause players to spend too much time running, and each time they die, they have to run a long way. This kind of experience is very poor, which may eventually lead to no one interested in this kind of map, so itâs better to remove them from the beginning.â
âOh, if you specifically make aerial combat or vehicle combat games, you can use larger maps,â Lincoln unconsciously added, âBut you can leave those for DLC and focus on making the main game in the early stages.â
âSecond is the balance issue. Some historical battles are indeed very exciting, especially those relying on terrain and tactics to achieve a victory with fewer forces. I understand your preference for these battles, and I am also very interested.â
âHowever, the problem is that such victories, under the current situation of fully disclosed information, are almost impossible to achieve. In some of the most extreme cases, itâs difficult to turn around even by adding people, vehicles, and firepower. Battles with such maps must also be removed.â
Fortunately, this is only the initial screening, and there are as many as 40 campaigns. When the unsuitable ones are removed, the remaining ones are more than enough.
In Lincolnâs plan, the initial release of the game would have 10 campaign maps, any more than that and the learning cost for players would be too high.
âNext is the gameâs gameplay system, Iâll start with the combat mode, troop choices, and special vehicles.â
While Lincoln was explaining the overall game planning scheme of âBattlefieldâ to Randall and Fred in detail, NetDragon had already ended their morning meeting.
Gary and Jason gathered again to discuss issues that were not appropriate to say in front of the boss during the meeting.
âCan the subsequent promotion continue as planned?â Jason asked about his biggest concern.
âItâs a bit difficult.â Gary replied with a frown.
âOriginally the situation was quite favorable, but Cloud Dream first brought An Rongyi in for a concert, and then organized a street race competition, which completely shifted the playersâ attention.â
âI noticed that the score of âBlaze 3â is still rising, canât we use that for promotion directly?â Jason was a little unwilling.
âLook online now, everyoneâs talking about the âmechaâ posted by Lincoln, or the events that happened during yesterdayâs racing competition. Whoâs talking about âRed Flameâ anymore?â
Gary helplessly said, âPromoting now would be half the results for twice the effort!â
âIsnât there a better way?â
âMaybe we can wait a little longer.â Gary tried to appease Jason.
âUntil when?â
âPlayersâ attention is limited, so itâs best to wait until Cloud Dream quietens down, and the playersâ attention is no longer focused on one thing.â Gary judged based on his own experience.
He knew very well that without a bigger splash, a simple reversal of âBlaze 3â reputation would not be enough to make big news.
When players saw such news, the greatest possibility was not to praise NetDragon and then crazily recommend it to friends, but to simply say âOhâ with an expressionless face and then skip it.
News of this level would not be able to compete with Cloud Dream for attention even if it was hyped up again.
Look at the big news Lincoln has been making: the singer An Rongyi, who has disappeared from the mediaâs sight for two years! At least a million players participated in the game competition, and ten million players paid attention to it!
And that outrageous, mind-blowing super robot [mecha] that Gary saw!
What is big news? Thatâs big news!
With a boss like that, Cloud Dreamâs public relations department could do better than him even with a dog on a leash!
Gary dreams of working at Cloud Dream WorksâŠ
In comparison, how can something as small as turning around the reputation of âBlaze 3â compete with others for the playersâ attention?
Gary even felt that the mecha was super appealing, okay?
Jason was about to say something more when someone suddenly knocked on the office door, interrupting their conversation.
âCome in.â Gary said. freeÏebnovÄl.cà«Šm
A puzzled employee walked in and handed Gary his mobile phone: âSupervisor, Cloud Dreamâs Marketing Manager Victor went to Flying Fox this morning, and someone took pictures and posted them online.â
Victor, who had been very active since joining Cloud Dream, was not only recognized by people in the industry but also by many ordinary netizens.
Gary took the phone and Jason leaned in to look.
Jason looked at Victor in the photo and unconsciously began to guess what Cloud Dream wanted to do by approaching Flying Fox, and whether or not it would affect NetDragon.
As for Gary, he just took a glance at the photo and immediately shifted his gaze to the posting time of this post.
Then he realized that this had happened an hour ago.
He just said he hoped Cloud Dream would quiet down and not make any big news, and then he saw Cloud Dreamâs Marketing Department Director going to Flying FoxâŠ
Another big news? Is there no end?!!
Gary and Jason exchanged glances, both feeling a strong sense of unease in their hearts.
In the Flying Fox meeting room.
The boss, Lance, remains silent, but the Marketing Department Director keeps talking, trying to get better cooperation conditions:
âItâs difficult for Mirage users to spend tens of thousands of yuan on a VR device! But it seems easier for VR device users to spend an extra ten thousand yuan on a Mirage to ârelieve game fatigueâ.â
New novel đŹhapters are published on ÆreewebÉłovel.com.
âIn this case, arenât we promoting your console among our users?â
Victor looked at him in surprise and asked, âBy now, donât you still think that many people among your users havenât bought a Mirage?â
This question seemed to hit a sore spot, and the opponent was momentarily choked.
Wanting to refute, but feeling like he was deceiving himself.
Even he thought that there were very few people who hadnât bought a Mirage among Flying Foxâs users.
Not just Flying Foxâs users, but also NetDragon and Wild Islandâs users should be the same.
How could a player who is capable of spending seventy to eighty thousand yuan on a VR equipment set be stingy about spending an extra ten thousand yuan on a Mirage?
The greater likelihood is that they not only bought it but were also among the first batch of people who bought itâŠ
Loyalty is no longer absolute!
