The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 80: Attitude is very important (asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month)
"Boss, are you still in the mood to joke?!" Song Zhicheng was anxious.

"Why not?" Xu Meng asked back.

"Don't worry, there are bugs to fix."

"Show me yesterday's data first."

Song Zhicheng had no choice but to suppress his anxiety and showed Xu Meng yesterday's data on new users of "Frost and Snow Project", mall turnover data, average and peak online player data, changes in Mengjin's popularity, player feedback on social networks, and other content.

Xu Meng looked at them one by one, and her heart was completely relieved.

——The data is really explosively good!
These bugs did not affect players' enthusiasm for the game at all.

——Compared with various cheating lineups, the impact of the bug is negligible.

But you can use the cheating lineup, I can use it, and everyone can use it, so it doesn’t matter whether it is fair or not.

Of course, this situation cannot be allowed to continue.

The reason for this now is, firstly, that there are too few characters, and secondly, to leave players with the impression that the game is "mainly for entertainment" from the very beginning.

In the next update, a mode will be added to limit repeated character selections.

——It is to add a new mode, not to prohibit multiple selections.

If you want to play without restrictions, continue playing. If you want to play with restrictions, go to the new mode.

In Xu Meng's opinion, the current bugs are still at the level of "indecent but harmless".

These bugs are even called "game features" by players, and they have a lot of fun playing with them.

The weight is naturally far less than that of new modes and new characters.

"Don't worry, wait until a more serious bug appears, or when players start to get dissatisfied, then post the second video."

This was Xu Meng’s first thought.

After all, this is the most cost-effective way.

But he soon realized:
wrong!

What is really important is not the cost-effectiveness, but to let players feel the sincerity of Dream Builder and believe that they are respected by Dream Builder.

Players' trust is a hundred times more important than cost-effectiveness!

Especially since he has to slowly shift his focus to new games, the attention he pays to "Project Frost" will inevitably decrease.

It is even more important to convey the correct player service concept to your employees.

So he quickly changed his words and said, “No, send it before I get off work today!”

"We apologized to the players, sent out a second compensation package, and assured the players that Dream Building took it very seriously and has already started to fix the bug with all our strength."

"Then pick two or three bugs that are easiest to fix and fix them immediately after the apology letter is published to make your attitude clear."

"I'll go to the procedure department to arrange it later."

"Okay!" Song Zhicheng felt reassured and started working immediately.

Xu Meng went to the programming department again to arrange the order of bug fixes.

The simplest one is of course the harmony that will be knocked out of the competition.

A similar bug has been fixed once before in the main body, so it is not difficult to patch the loophole.

Then there are the lasso and slime gun, which have the greatest impact on balance and experience.

The former can be disabled directly in the [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] mode, and the latter can modify the code to make the slime gel disappear directly when Huo Huo becomes invisible.

These are not complicated and can all be repaired today, allowing players to see the attitude and efficiency of dream building.

As for the remaining troublesome ones, it doesn't matter if they are a little slower.

After everything was arranged, Xu Meng just returned to the office and saw Song Zhicheng waiting at the door.

"what happened?"

"Boss, I just received a call. [Game Observation] wants to come to the company to interview you." Song Zhicheng replied.

"Game observation?" Xu Meng was stunned.

Half a month ago, when "Frost and Snow Project" was remade and revived, they frankly admitted that the prediction was wrong.

Later, not only did Huodao Live spend money to "apologize", it also published a serious article analyzing the key to the revival of "Frost and Snow Project".

This article is not like most of the follow-up media on the market, which keep repeating the same words as "sexy", "soft pornography" and "otaku-friendly".

Instead, after careful analysis, it was pointed out that apart from "doing porn", Dream Building has incredible work efficiency, amazing detail in its characters, and a large investment in animation and special effects.

Even the improvement of welfare levels and various measures to reduce the burden on players... It was objective and profound, and left a very good impression on Xu Meng.

However, they had not made any move before, but now as soon as [Treasure Hunt in Dragon Palace] was launched, they were eager to come for an interview, and their eagerness was surprising.

Is this because [Treasure Hunt in Dragon Palace] is so popular that they are eager to take advantage of the popularity?

Or was it the gameplay of [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] that made them see something different?

Xu Meng was a little curious, but still shook her head and refused:

"I told them that I would love to be interviewed by them, but I have too many things to do right now, so I can only decline with regret."

Song Zhicheng stood where he was, took out his cell phone and typed a reply to the other party.

As soon as I replied to the message, my phone vibrated again.

Song Zhicheng took a look at it and handed it to Xu Meng to see -

[I understand. Then can I ask Mr. Xu when he can make time? We are available anytime.]
Xu Meng thought for a moment.

He was not thinking about the interviews about "Dragon Palace Treasures" and "Frost and Snow Project". These two games no longer needed "Game Observation" to help build momentum.

What really needs heat is the new project that is about to be launched.

He roughly considered the arrangements in his mind and gave an uncertain time: "Probably in two months."

Song Zhicheng responded like this.

On the other side, Huo Dao was looking at the text message on his phone, feeling a little confused.

"Two months?"

"Did it take so long?"

Although he wanted to interview Zhumeng, it was not for the sake of attracting attention.

Instead, we saw the tremendous progress in dream-building technology and the pursuit and ability for innovative gameplay in [Treasure Hunt in Dragon Palace].

Through this information, he guessed that Dream Building would not always be limited to the second-person travel circle in the future, so he wanted to dig up some information in this regard.

But it’s a good thing to be popular!
Who would have thought that it would be thrown to two months later...

Two months later, will [Treasure Hunt in Dragon Palace] still be so popular?
do not know.

But interviews are sometimes similar to job hunting. If the other party asks you to wait for notification, there isn't much you can do except wait patiently.

Huodao sighed and continued to prepare for the interview in the office.

Specifically, it means teaming up with colleagues to fight [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] together.

On the Dream Building side, after Song Zhicheng left, Xu Meng sat in the office and thought:

Is it time to consider the public relations department?

At least there is a proper channel for external contact.

But there are too few truly professional public relations talents.

If you accidentally run into someone who is unreliable, it will only have the opposite effect and end up in a bad situation.

After much thought, I decided to postpone it and strengthen the technical team first.

In addition, he has to find some special talents.

He turned on his computer and looked up the location of the Ningzhou Veterans Service Center.

To make a war-themed game, an experienced military consultant with a military background is essential.

But before Dream Building, I didn’t have any connections in this area—“Frost and Snow Project” didn’t need such consultants.

Xu Meng thought that the project had not yet been launched and it was not a serious game. It would be very difficult to apply through the official military channels.

So I decided to try the Veterans Service Center first to see if I could find a reliable consultant.

It would be best if you have participated in peacekeeping missions and have actually been on the battlefield.

If not, you can also consider foreign experts.

——After all, in recent decades, the number of soldiers and mercenaries who have fought in foreign countries is indeed much greater than that in Xia Country.

It's not as precious as in Xia Country. Many people are left unattended after retirement, or are only provided with very meager subsidies, which are not even enough for medical care.

If you hire them...

How should I put it? It’s very cost-effective.
