The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 18 trailer released!
5 month 31 day.

The day before the scheduled update date of "Frost and Snow Project".

A big day for building dreams.

Everyone temporarily stopped what they were doing and opened the homepage of the "Frost and Snow Project" account on Weiguang and P Station.

Xu Meng sat in the operations office and ceremoniously pressed the release button.

Therefore, the update trailer of the remastered version of "Project Frost and Snow" reached thousands of players and netizens through the Internet.

Normally, releasing a preview the day before an update is quite outrageous and unprofessional.

But the construction period of Dream Building is too tight. Even though everyone in the company is working so hard, it is only now that we have barely completed the preparations for the update.

——This doesn’t even include the multiplayer online battle map [Dragon Palace].

That part of the content still needs time to be polished, and it will take at least another week.

Fortunately, [Dragon Palace] is a "surprise content" and it doesn't matter if it's released a little late.

But the actual game trailer really can’t be any later.

The operation team continued to release promotional materials, which initially shocked many passers-by and netizens because of the unique scale of the original paintings in the second-person game circle.

But after a whole month, there were only original paintings and character illustrations, but no real machine modeling, which led to another problem -

The gaming community has tended to conclude that DreamWorks is engaging in a "portrait fraud" and that the actual modeling cannot achieve the same effect as the original painting.

This kind of thing - although it sounds outrageous, is also a common practice in the second-hand game circle.

Not only are peers accustomed to it, even second-level players are used to it and at most they will curse a few times and then no longer mention it.

It’s not that I’m not angry, it’s that I’m used to it.

Cursing too much is a waste of expression.

As a result, the popularity of "Frost and Snow Project" inevitably gradually decreased.

Fortunately, it has successfully broken the circle once before, and it has not been settled whether it is a character scam. It is still much better than the half-dead state before.

Today is the time to prove the strength of Dream Building to the entire network, to regain all the lost popularity, and to attract more passers-by players!
……

……

The 250 million fans of "Frost and Snow Project" on Pili Pili and the 120 million fans of Weiguang were the first to see the development.

——Throughout May, without any updates, Project Frost and Snow gained 70 followers with just one announcement and a dozen character original paintings!
This is the charm of the traffic era.

As long as you can do a good job and create a lot of discussion, you can acquire tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of new users at a very low cost!

In order to join in the fun, these new users even downloaded the yet-unupdated "Frost and Snow Project" to play, just to be able to intuitively feel the difference after the update.

The popular second-level up-loaders also entered the "Frost and Snow Project" to record materials in advance.

This way, you can make a comparison video as soon as the game is updated.

——For them, the popularity of the topic and the speed of making the video are more important than the fun of the game.

When the trailer was updated, these new players discovered and clicked in faster than the old players of "Frost and Snow Project"!
……

Then there are the second-level players who have been paying attention to the developments of Dream Building.

The Eryou circle is a circle with a very high community intensity.

——Yes, it is [intensity], because there are wars in the second-level game circle almost every day.

Of course, there is a group of cute people in the second-hand game circle who only play games and don’t fight, and in terms of numbers, they are actually the majority.

But they are too normal and never argue with others online.

The result is that the second-hand game public opinion field is completely occupied by the manufacturers' hired internet trolls, those who fan the flames and extreme players.

Now Dream Building is going to create a new standard in the second-hand travel circle. Such a big thing will naturally lead to fierce debate in the public opinion field!
What trailer?

It’s clearly a new battlefield!

……

The editorial department of [Game Observation] was the first to predict the crisis of DreamBuild’s closure, which triggered this series of events.

The senior editor nicknamed Fire Knife suddenly shouted:
"Dream Building has released a trailer!"

"It's actually been released?" A colleague one meter away was very surprised, "Are there any real footage?"

"There should be!" Huo Dao replied as he looked at the text of "Frost and Snow Project".

As they were talking, colleagues in the office also opened the homepage of the "Frost and Snow Project" account and saw the dynamic -

[Meeting an old friend is like meeting for the first time]
[The remastered version of "Frost and Snow Project", looking forward to seeing you again]
What follows is a 4-minute and 58-second trailer.

Instead of rushing to watch the trailer, these editors teased the flaming knife:

"Lao Huo, it looks like this Dream Building has a real chance of surviving!" "Haha, Lao Huo, you're going to be the first person in our [Game Observer] whose prediction fails."

"From now on, there will be no more undefeated players in [Game Observation]."

"Apologize in women's clothing!"

"Who do you think is more nervous now, Lao Huo or the editor-in-chief?"

"Of course the boss of Dream Building is more nervous!"

……

There was no atmosphere of being on the alert in the editorial department; rather, it was a very relaxed atmosphere.

Although they kept saying things like "prophecy failed" and "invincible golden body", they actually had smiles on their faces, as if the desire to see the fire knife joke was written on their faces.

As for the decline in the value of the "predictions" of [Game Observation], they don't take it seriously.

The reason is that the editorial department of [Game Observation] is composed of a group of veteran players.

——Is a very old player.

Most of them started making game guides and uploading game videos as individuals when the gaming industry was not as hot as it is today, and was even viewed as a scourge by parents and social media.

That's what a fire knife is.

When he started working in the gaming media, there wasn’t even mobile Internet yet, and everyone was writing text guides in gaming magazines—with a few pictures at most, and they were barely visible due to the limited space.

Many people may not realize that it has only been 20 years from the era of black and white screen keypad phones the size of a postage stamp to the current mobile Internet era dominated by smartphones.

Huodao, who has survived that era and is a "living fossil" of the gaming circle in the memories of old players, is only in his early 40s and still has 20 years to go before retirement.

But the development of the gaming industry has changed dramatically, and it is inevitable that he will become out of date.

Like many people in this office, I can no longer survive on my own.

This is the reason why [Game Observation] was born. A group of old people from the old era huddled together for warmth and tried hard to survive in the new era that is changing with each passing day.

They are doing well so far.

This aspect is naturally inseparable from the course of history - the sudden prosperity of the entertainment industry.

But on the other hand, it is indeed inseparable from personal struggle——

These people have been in the gaming industry for many years, and each of them has a lot of connections.

Taken together, they cover almost all companies, fields, and circles in the gaming industry.

This is why they can get inside information every time they report, and every prediction comes true accurately.

Outsiders don’t know, but everyone in the editorial department knows:
Sometimes the sources of this intelligence are even the bosses of those bankrupt game companies themselves.

It would be strange if the internal information provided by the boss himself was inaccurate!

Because they are generally older, these old hands have an incredibly steady mentality. Everyone first took the opportunity to squeeze Huo Dao for a while before contentedly clicking on the trailer.

……

There are also friendly companies and competitors, Yang Hui and other former employees who left, and netizens who passed by...

Etc., etc.

Countless people clicked on this trailer at the first opportunity.
-
What surprised everyone was that the trailer started with an animated short film.

The first thing that appears on the screen is a changing room in a shopping mall.

Through the blue curtain, you can only see a pair of calves and a pair of shoes - experienced players can recognize who is behind the curtain through this feature.

But before they could start their introduction, a coat flew out from over the curtain with a whoosh.

Then came T-shirts, trousers, bras...

One after another, they flew out like flowers scattered from heaven.

The barrage exploded instantly:

"???"

"!!!"

"What the fuck are you doing??!"

"You're going to make it so exciting right from the start?"

……

The screen was filled with question marks and exclamation marks, which immediately burst out!
