Chapter 62: Anime Premiere
Of course, if it were according to the habit of his previous life, it might be better to call it "Azeroth National Geographic" (NGA), but what Chen Mo wants to do now is not a forum for players to communicate, but an official website dedicated to introducing Azeroth.
Of course, NGA can be added later as an important part of this website.
The concept of the "Azeroth Universe" is somewhat inspired by the "League of Legends Universe".
After the popularity of League of Legends, Riot has also spared no effort to build its own gaming culture, the most important of which is the worldview of the game, that is, the "League of Legends Universe".
As a special artistic carrier, the world view of the game may be extremely large, and it cannot be fully displayed by some plots and settings in the game alone, so in order to further expand the cultural influence of "League of Legends", Riot will launch the "League of Legends Universe".
MOBA games are limited by the characteristics of the game itself, and there are many heroes, so the world view is relatively fragmented, so it is relatively difficult to promote the "League of Legends universe".
And the worldview of "World of Warcraft" is already an extremely mature worldview, and the "Azeroth Universe" produced by Chen Mo should be easier to be recognized and will have a stronger influence.
What kind of website is the Azeroth Universe?
In Chen Mo's planning, this website is mainly used to introduce the relevant settings of Azeroth and the Warcraft series, which is mainly divided into four sections: History, Heroes, Rules, and Regions, which respectively describe the historical evolution of Azeroth, biographies, world rules, and regional divisions.
Of course, it is a very long system project to move all the settings of the world of Azeroth locally, and it will definitely not be completed in a few months, Chen Mo is ready for a long-term update, and he will move a little when he is free.
His focus is mainly on the three sections of "History", "Rules" and "Region".
[History] mainly introduces some major events such as the orc invasion, the establishment of Orgrimmar, and the human alliance, and explains the relationship between the alliance and the tribe.
[Rules] introduces some related settings, such as Hearthstone, Running Corpse Resurrection, Race, Class, Skills, and so on.
[Region] is an introduction to the main cities of the major races, as well as some unique locations in Azeroth.
This is to allow players to better understand the content of "My Name is MT", and also to pave the way for the future. When Chen Mo has enough ability and resources, he will use a better way to make the content of the entire "World of Warcraft", and this website is equivalent to a much warm-up in advance.
……
The first three episodes of the first season of "My Name is MT" will be updated simultaneously on major video websites!
Before the anime was launched, Chen Mo also made some preliminary preparations. On the one hand, I contacted some larger video sites and purchased the recommended position on the homepage of the game channel.
Xuandong Aurora Studio is relatively familiar with the business process in this area, and I also know some editors on major video websites, so the money is in place, and some basic recommended positions can be obtained.
Of course, the more important positions on the homepage can only be reached by reaching a certain level of playback and popularity, and it is too expensive to buy directly, so Chen Mo will not consider it.
On the website of Xuandong Aurora Studio's own website, of course, there has been some publicity and warm-up.
On the other hand, Chen Mo also posted the news that the "My Name is MT" anime will be launched in the game of "Plants vs. Zombies" and on his Weibo, and briefly introduced the story background of this anime, hinting that it will be related to his new game.
On Weibo, Chen Mo also released a promotional video for the "My Name is MT" anime, which is the introductory video at the beginning of the film, which is about two minutes or more, showing the whole picture of Azeroth.
In a short period of time, Chen Mo's Weibo was forwarded thousands of times!
There are loyal players of "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Flappybird", there are game media that have been following this bet, and there are some players of Imperial Entertainment.
Soon, some players who were unaware of it also noticed the news, and after watching the promotional video, some of the people were also interested.
"What's the situation? Anime? Am I right? ”
“…… Didn't you say that the monthly turnover of gambling games? It's been a month, and Chen Mo threw out an anime? ”
"It's still produced by Xuandong Aurora Studio, I'm dizzy, it seems that it was premeditated, it should cost a lot of money, right?"
"I'm more worried about whether Chen Mo still has time to develop games......
"The anime promo is very interesting, I feel that the world view is huge, you can go and see it."
"Well, let's see, what does it have to do with the game?"
At 8 p.m., the "My Name is MT" anime is officially launched!
After the previous warm-up, as well as the influence of the recommendation position on the video website, this anime has received a lot of attention as soon as it is launched, and there is a corresponding topic on Weibo, and the game review area of "Plants vs. Zombies" is also all discussing this anime!
The early warm-up is basically no problem, but this is the first step, the key is to look at the audience's evaluation and see if they can stick to it.
Chen Mo was a little nervous, and he had been paying attention to the playback data and player messages on major websites.
It can be said that the success of this anime will largely determine the popularity of the game, and if the anime completely hits the streets, then the game will definitely be greatly affected, although it will not die completely, but it will definitely hurt the muscles and bones.
Su Jinyu and Jia Peng are also very nervous, and they are all refreshing the data on major video websites.
Soon, the comments from the audience also increased.
"That's it? Damn, it's so short! ”
"That's it? What about the back? ”
"The cow is the protagonist, so non-mainstream! But I like it! ”
"It's a bit confusing to watch, but I think the world is interesting."
"The characters in here are all good two, 23333"
"Feeling...... It's a bit unexpected, Chen Mo should have been premeditated to do this anime, right? ”
Although there is a part of the audience that is in a state of "unawareness", overall, their first impression of this anime is not bad. The most crucial point is that the anime seems to them to be novel, especially in terms of setting.
At the end of the third episode, after the ending song is played, a line of subtitles appears on the screen.
"To be continued..."
There is also a line of small print: "For more Azeroth-related settings and backstories, please log in to the Azeroth Universe to view!" ”
"The Azeroth universe? And this kind of thing? ”
Many viewers are still a little unsatisfied after watching the anime, and some viewers who are attracted by the worldview of this anime have found the official website of the "Azeroth Universe" to see more content.
