Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

As before, after starting the experience of"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" in the experience store.

Basically, 99% of the players are experiencing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

Including many players who do not have machines, or even players whose game experience time has passed.

They were all waiting excitedly in the rest area, watching a game screen on the holographic projection.

I can’t play it myself, but it’s quite interesting to watch others play it.

Especially some players who have never played FPS games.

After experiencing"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", I also found it quite interesting.

Vehicles, accessories, and third-person shooting.

In fact, the operations of these games are not unheard of in other FPS games.

But it’s all combined, especially with this kind of big sale gameplay.

All players feel a little bit over the top.

It feels completely different from traditional FPS.

Every handful is full of freshness.

For traditional FPS games, there is actually not much suspense.

Basically, I entered the game and wrote a sentence or two.

It’s almost clear which side will win this game.

Because the difference between them is all on the surface.

Unlike"League of Legends", sometimes it feels like the opponent is a little stronger.

But our own lineup is better, and it is all a team battle lineup. When the time comes to develop and support the team in the late stage, it will still be able to fight.

Unless it is crushed, it still feels like there is a glimmer of hope.

Traditional FPS is different.

If you can't compare to others in marksmanship, you just can't compare. If you continue to fight, you are destined to win or lose. You just think about how many people you can kill.

But"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" feels like"League of Legends" to many players.

Although there is only one map of the island called Erangel.

But the areas chosen in each game are different, the routes in each game are different, the number of enemies encountered in each game is different, the poisonous circles refreshed each time, and the rooms in each house are different.

This brings enough freshness to players.

There are even many players who specifically look for some clothes in the game.

These are also some elements specially added by Chen Xu.

The reason why the popularity of"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" in the previous life disappeared quickly.

In addition to third-party factors such as plug-ins and poor optimization.

The most important point is that there is never anything new, and Blue Hole has always wanted to take the e-sports route.

This resulted in too many elements in the game. In the end, the players who stayed in the game were more likely to be players who liked this kind of mass killing mode and had a more realistic art style.

Of course, there are also many players who are too lazy to try other Taobao games and don’t want to incur more learning costs.

Therefore, Chen Xu did not think about making"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" a competitive model like"League of Legends" from the beginning.

For example, in the currently open version, each piece of clothing in the wardrobe is a point.

Different areas on the island map have clothes from different areas.

Players will also have a collection of achievements.

After collecting enough styles of clothes, you can directly obtain them.

Of course, you can also get them later by opening boxes or purchasing them in the mall.

As for"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", Chen Xu is not prepared to adopt the buyout system like in his previous life.

Instead, like"League of Legends", it adopts a free-to-play model, but charges for skins.

The main reason is to attract more players.

As for making money, as long as there are enough players, are you afraid that you won’t be able to make money?

Like"Fortnite" in its previous life, although the main body is a free model, it carries forward the pass model derived from the DOTA minibook.

Earn a lot of money directly.

Including later games such as"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds","League of Legends", and"Call of Duty", they all learned the pass of"Fortnite".

So as long as the game is popular enough, do you still have to worry about not making money?

After all, there is a saying that free is the most expensive.

Secondly, there is the game"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which is a game that the more novice players have, the more fun it is.

A model of the free system can also maintain the greatest popularity of"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"

………………

With the advancement of time.

There is gradually more and more content about"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" on the Internet.

Chen Xu did not conduct follow-up publicity.

But the players in the experience store spontaneously carried out a publicity.

Although Chen Xu did not say that live broadcasting was not possible, the players in the experience store were also very conscious.

No one does too much filming or live broadcasting of content.

The more important thing is to take some screenshots and text descriptions.

Even so, there are a lot of topics about"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" on the Internet.

Many players are having a discussion

"I feel like the chicken game is really fun!"

"I read some information on the Internet, and it seems interesting. It’s completely different from what I thought before."

"Yes, it is very different from ordinary FPS."

"Eat chicken? Isn't it called"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"?"

"Oh, this, if you become the final winner, there will be a slogan about good luck and eating chicken tonight."

"Haha, the players in the experience store actually held a chicken eating event later. Whoever got the first place not only received a pan figure presented by Mr. Chen, but also a roast chicken purchased by the players."

"23333, this is really chicken eating!"

There is no substantial content yet.

However, some of the video clips and pictures and texts released have made many players who have not played it feel itchy in their hearts.

Because more and more content has It shows one thing.

That is that the game"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" seems to be really fun.

And amid the expectations of the players

《"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is officially launched globally.
