Chapter 861: Rapid Expansion (Four Changes)
This 618 event has indeed had a good effect, not only the active data of players has increased significantly, but even the sales of the game have also increased.
Although it is not as good as the Double 11 event, this level of increase is already very obvious.
The first is the game trial activity on the Thunder game platform, opening 30% of the game content for players to try is equivalent to making a big cost of advertising, especially those big-made classic games, such as "Uncharted", "Assassin's Creed: Origins", etc., once players have experienced the excitement of these games, it is difficult to suppress the urge to continue to play the following plot.
Moreover, the folding of the 618 event and the Double 11 event makes it logical for players to chop their hands.
Of course, as the only game that cannot be tried, "Silent Hill" has also become the most topical game during the 618 period, and like games such as "Escape" and "Digging for Ascension", it has become another milestone work of Chen Mo's revenge on society......
On major live broadcast platforms, countless anchors have been abused by "Silent Hill", and various frightened highlights have been circulated on the Internet, which has become a topic of conversation among players.
And this 618 event also benefited many independent game designers of the Thunder Game Platform.
Through this event, many players began to search for some designers' works on the Thunder game platform, and some players reached the game time and received a game from this designer, but out of love for this designer, they often bought his other games; And those players who haven't reached the game time are also happy to buy.
After all, for most players, if you don't think about it, you won't chop, but once you start chopping, it's hard to stop......
The 618 event focused the players' attention on the Thunder gaming platform, and the designers of the entire platform benefited from it.
As for the designers of other gaming platforms, they didn't have such good luck.
Designers from many other channels suddenly found that it seems that the influence of the Thunder game platform is still expanding at a very fast speed?
In the past, Chen Mo relied on the big killer of "League of Legends" to continue to open up the market, and it took a lot of effort to build the Thunder game platform into one of the three major game channels in China. But after that, it seems that Chen Mo didn't deliberately promote his game platform anymore.
He just kept putting out higher quality games one by one, and put all his energy into research and development.
However, the development of the Thunder game platform has not stagnated, but has expanded more rapidly as products such as "Dark Souls", "Uncharted", "PUBG" and "American Armageddon" continue to overcome obstacles and win more honors in the international market.
Now, the Thunder game platform has spanned four platforms: mobile games, PC, VR and smart glasses, and it can be seen on almost all smart devices.
With Chen Mo's reputation in the world game industry rising, the status of the Thunder Game Platform is also rising, so that if there is no Thunder Game Platform on someone's computer or VR game cabin in China, it is simply an incredible thing.
In this case, the competition between gaming platforms has become unequal. There are more and more player groups on the Thunder game platform, which naturally attracts more and more designers to switch to the arms of Thunder Entertainment.
At first, a group of independent game designers joined the Thunder Game Platform in order to avoid channel disputes, and now, many designers who belong to Imperial Mutual Entertainment and Zen Mutual Entertainment, especially those designers with strong ability and high self-esteem, are also considering whether to join the Thunder Game Platform.
Many people realize that Thunder Mutual Entertainment is already a behemoth with greater energy than Imperial Mutual Entertainment and Zen Mutual Entertainment.
……
Chen Mo also has a lot of things to be busy with.
As July approaches, the game design contest that has been scheduled for a long time is about to be held as scheduled.
This year's game design competition is mainly for fresh graduates, mainly to select those talented and promising graduates to enter the game industry.
The preliminary round of this game design competition will be held in several major cities with Thunder game experience stores across the country, while the semi-finals and finals will come to the imperial capital and be held at the new headquarters of Thunder Interactive Entertainment in early August.
The new headquarters is almost ready to be opened, and Chen Mo plans to move in one after another in mid-July, and at the same time begin to expand the scale of the entire R&D team.
Of course, the new headquarters is only the main part of the office building, and there is still a lot of work to follow. For example, the interior of the building has been individually decorated, and various small theme parks have been continued to be built in the theme area outside the headquarters.
However, there is no rush in these tasks, and they can be carried out slowly.
In addition, in terms of game development, the Abstergo team continues to work on other titles in the Assassin's Creed series, with the current focus on the stories of Altaïr and Ezio.
That is, the content of Assassin's Creed 1, Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
This time the content is relatively large, with nearly four games in capacity. Although these works are not strictly open world, the plot content alone is rich enough.
Considering that the stories of Altaïr and Ezio are relatively relevant and very coherent, Chen Mo plans to release this part together with the modern plot related to Desmond, which can be regarded as a good show to players what "Assassin's Creed" is.
After completing this part of the work, the Abstergo project team continued to develop other series of Assassin's Creed, and Chen Mo was about to consider starting a new project.
……
The players in the imperial capital are also looking forward to the official opening of the new headquarters.
Since the news of the new headquarters of Thunder Mutual Entertainment came out, many players in the imperial capital have been paying close attention. There are even some players who live close to the new headquarters every day, taking pictures and videos, and posting them online to discuss the latest progress of the new headquarters.
By now, the new headquarters is completely OK from the exterior and should be officially opened soon.
Many players are a little eager to try it, and they will finally not have to queue up to play the game in the future!
There is no way, every time Chen Mo releases a new game, the experience store will be crowded, especially the VR game experience area, which is even more crowded, whether or not he can grab the opportunity to try a new game is completely fateful, and many players who come all the way to the imperial capital to "make a pilgrimage" are also miserable.
The official opening of the new headquarters is equivalent to Chen Mo announcing to the world: There is finally a super factory in China that stands at the top of the world's game industry!
