The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 192 "Lord of War" is now on sale worldwide!
It took only 24 days for Mirror World to go from being an instant hit upon its launch, rushing to the top three on the mobile game best-selling list, to being hastily taken offline amid the curses of tens of millions of netizens.

Only a mess was left.

Konjac Games needs to contact two superior departments to discuss the two processing tasks of refund and confiscation.

——Logically speaking, after the refund is completed, there will be no illegal income, and it will no longer need to be turned over.

But you have to make this matter clear to the Copyright Office first, otherwise there might be some disputes.

After the communication is completed, all players will be refunded.

At the same time, the goodwill of the entire Konjac Games company suffered serious damage, and its main revenue source "Divine Bird" was also affected - the last revenue record of "Divine Bird" was the character "Larna" designed by Yoshimori Okamoto.

This character is now in the hands of "Divine Bird" players, and the retention rate is not low at all!

Now these players are also disgusted by Yoshimori Okamoto's heavy-tasting XP.

As a result, the "Divine Bird" project team was also implicated and had to find ways to appease the players.

……

The entire konjac game was in a state of panic.

In comparison, Dream Building is much more comfortable.

In addition to the boss, the assistant and Xiao Meng's passionate eating of melons and wonderful combos, they also contributed a lot to the grand funeral of "Mirror World Story".

The remaining employees worked hard without distraction to promote various tasks before the launch of "Lord of War"——

The most important thing is of course the edition number.

But unlike "Mirror World Story", "Lord of War" passed the review and obtained the publishing license effortlessly.

Instead of going through the military channels, the Ningzhou Municipal Government helped "Lord of War" to get a green channel through the [Online Game Quality Publishing Project].

Special matters were handled promptly and the publishing license was obtained quickly.
-
Then there is its own gaming platform.

After a mid-month update, the "Frost and Snow Project" login interface was officially renamed [Dream Building Game], and the "Lord of War" page was launched at the same time.

——At this stage, the only significance of this platform is to allow domestic players to directly purchase and download "Lord of War".

No need to climb over the wall or use a proxy.

Zhumeng does not need to share 30% of its sales with others.

At the same time, this launcher is also compatible with the Fantasy Game Suite. Players around the world who use the Fantasy Game Suite can download the game directly through this channel.

this point is very important.

Because so far, more than 600 million sets of Fantasy Game Kits have been activated at home and abroad!

On October 10, DreamZhu released a poster to celebrate its 14 million users worldwide.

In the comment section of that poster, apart from the two common replies "Dream building is awesome" and "Ship it to me quickly", the most common response was worry.

——Due to the disassembly explanations by a large number of hardware up-loaders, the image of Zhumeng "selling hardware at a loss" has been deeply rooted in people's minds.

The higher the sales volume, the more people feel that DreamZhu has lost a lot.

He was even worried that Dream Building would lose all the money it earned from "Frost and Snow Project".

But there is actually a misunderstanding here -

All simulators and dream builders are sold for profit.

Also, the price of the Fantasy game kit is not the same in the country and overseas.

At the same time, large-scale production is slowly driving down production costs.

With all these factors combined, DreamZhu has long been able to make money selling hardware.

And not losing money is enough.

——If it weren’t for these hardware, who would buy an interactive scene for 168 yuan?

In October, Dreaming launched a new interactive scene called “Waiting Time”, which is divided into two versions – 10 pieces without VR, and 128 pieces with VR.

The latter sold 460 million copies in just half a month!

Almost 80% of users who activated the Fantasy Game Suite purchased the VR version of [Waiting Time].

——It can be seen how amazing the consumption potential of these users who purchased the Fantasy Game Kit as soon as possible!

That’s 7.7 million in sales!

"Mirror World Story" was launched with great fanfare for more than half a month, which is about this number.

This is the power of hardware and the power of self-built platforms!

These players are still in a state of eagerness to satisfy their strong interactive and immersive game content. Therefore, after the release of "Lord of War", even with conservative estimates, users of the Fantasy Game Suite can provide sales of 350 million copies.

This number is already a very good result for a company that is making a buyout game for the first time.

It’s not far from the “hot-selling” line of 500 million copies.

Combined with the sales on other platforms, it won’t be difficult to cross the line.

Now the entire project team does not regard 500 million as a target.

In particular, the distribution team led by Chen Junyi set the initial target at 800 million copies and the stage target at 1000 million copies!

Any more is not in the plan.

After all, the sales record for Xiaguo's one-time game sales is only 600 million copies.

It is their first time, so even if they are extremely ambitious, they must ultimately focus on the present.

——Even the goal of 1000 million copies was determined based on the fact that the game will be available on three major platforms at the same time: [Dream Building Game Platform], [Vapour Game Platform], and [Softoft Game Box].

In order to achieve this goal, promotion work has already started.

But we must honestly say that the entire distribution department - including the boss Chen Junyi - cannot match Kabo's publicity effect alone.

Over the past month or so, Kabo has become a well-known anti-DEI pioneer in the gaming community.

His [SBI Warning] wishlist has received more than 80 views.

What’s even more exaggerated is that his overseas social media accounts have skyrocketed from more than 1000 followers to 300 million in a very short period of time!
The battle between SBI and anti-SBI goes on every day, and it goes without saying that "Lord of War", the focus work that was brought out to compete with "Concord Agent", has received a lot of attention.

——It’s ridiculously high!
All the publicity that Sony Games Station has given to "Concord Agent" will be shared by "Lord of War" in half.

The marketing expenses obtained alone are more than what Zhumeng has invested on its own!
Of course, similar conflicts also occur on the domestic Internet.

A group of honest players are still confronting Yang Hui every day.

It’s just that there are very few of them now and the popularity is very low.

Even though the game's release date was getting closer and Yang Hui was becoming more and more arrogant, she was unable to reverse the decline in popularity.

——Everyone is very busy. There are so many melons to eat every day. How can they have the time to play with her all the time?
Correspondingly, "Concord Agent" also shared the popularity of "Lord of War" and Dream Building.

Many people are curious about what this epoch-making DEI masterpiece will look like.

Even though they knew they would probably be fed shit, they couldn't help but want to taste it...

This is probably the price of curiosity.

……

……

After the biggest hit "Mirror World" made a miserable exit, "Lord of War" became the only protagonist in the last week of October.

The attention is rising steadily.

The 50 anchors and internet celebrities who were invited to participate in the Blazing Competition and played the official version of "Lord of War" a month in advance, unsurprisingly, received a lot of attention. Every time they broadcast live, they were asked by a bunch of fans what new gameplay the official version had.

But these contestants have all signed online agreements with DreamBuilder, and each one is more strict than the other.

Even though the audience kept asking questions in all kinds of ways, the show remained on high alert the entire time, successfully keeping the suspense until the very last moment.

直到10月31日晚上24点，也即是夏京时间11月1日的零点。

"Lord of War" is finally launched simultaneously around the world.

"Lord of War", which has been at the top of the wishlist of the Vapour gaming platform for two months with an astonishing 680 million collections, has finally been removed from the list.

But just 30 minutes later, "Lord of War" ranked first in the summer region of Vapour's best-selling list!

Sixth in the global ranking!

An hour and a half later, it entered the top three of the overall list!

And this is just the sales volume of one platform.

If it weren't for the powerful diversion from the other two platforms, especially the Dreaming platform itself, it would be very likely that it would top the global rankings, or even stay there for a few days, and win the weekly championship!
But what is more outrageous is:

It wasn't until this time that players began to enter the game on a large scale.

There were even a large number of players who were unable to enter the game even after two hours.

As for the reason, it is also very simple -

The official version of the client for Lord of War is so fucking huge!

　Please give me a monthly ticket!
