Have you ever made games? Then you should write about games!

Chapter 162 has been released! It's been released!

After extensive pre-release promotion, the test version of "Black Myth: Wukong" generated immense buzz immediately upon its release.

After all, bearing the title of the first domestic AAA masterpiece, it naturally has a strong appeal. Some players, even those who are not fans of single-player games, went online specifically to learn about the game "Black Myth: Wukong" just because of this title.

In addition, after the test version of "Black Myth: Wukong" became a hit, online communication channels such as major video platforms, social media and chat forums were filled with game-related content.

On just one video platform, Yinfu, the number of discussions about "Black Myth: Wukong" exceeded 10 billion.

If we break it down to the discussion level of the test version of "Black Myth: Wukong", it has already reached more than one billion views in less than half a day since it was launched.

Therefore, as the game became a huge hit, it also attracted a large number of people who had never played video games before, allowing them to learn about "Black Myth: Wukong".

Even in rural areas of various provinces, if you randomly go to a village information exchange center, you can hear the elderly talking about the game "Black Myth: Wukong".

Of course, acquiring massive traffic is only the first step and does not mean that Star Card has achieved complete victory.

The next challenge is how to retain this group of people who come specifically for the game, many of whom have never even played AAA games.

That's amazing. I bet they haven't even tried the mini-games on 4399.

However, according to Chen Dong's plan, the test version of "Black Myth: Wukong" will be open for the entire Spring Festival holiday, which is about half a month.

During this period, the primary task of the test version is to collect improvement suggestions from players after they have tried it out, so that the official version can be released later.

In the following days, although Xingka had officially started its annual leave, Chen Dong, who was not only the boss of Xingka but also an online novelist, did not have a half-day off and lived a regular life of writing novels during the day and watching live streams at night.

As time went on and with the arrival of the holidays, more people had more time to spend online, and the discussion surrounding "Black Myth: Wukong" continued to rise.

The game content related to the test version of "Black Myth: Wukong" alone has generated over 10 billion discussions, with its popularity skyrocketing and changing every day.

In the comment sections of many videos of "Black Myth: Wukong", many comments expressed regret for not getting a beta test slot, so now they can only watch others play and can't play themselves.

This situation reminded many people of their childhood, when they could only sit on the sidelines and watch longingly as they visited other people's homes.

Therefore, on various social media platforms, you can see people posting videos tagged with "Black Myth: Wukong" under the guise of "reunion with their childhood selves".

Surprisingly, these videos have become quite popular, which has inadvertently fueled the rise in popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong".

In addition, various official accounts have also set their sights on the recently popular IP "Black Myth: Wukong" and have been calling Chen Dong one after another, hoping to use "Black Myth: Wukong" for promotion.

Local cultural and tourism bureaus, as well as filming locations in Northwest China and Gansu, have all taken advantage of the popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong" to vigorously promote these places, cultural relics, and scenic sites, all in an effort to bring them into the public eye.

However, the version currently in operation is only a test version, and many scenes from the game have not yet been shown to players and viewers. As a result, despite the efforts of cultural and tourism authorities in various regions to promote the game, the response has been lukewarm.

The movie "Black Myth: Wukong" became a huge hit, but it didn't bring fame to the filming locations of some of the scenes in the game. At most, it gave them a brief appearance to players and viewers, and made them catch their eye.

Just three days after the release of the closed beta version of "Black Myth: Wukong", some players have already experienced all the content of the closed beta version and made a long video guide, which has been posted on Bilibili.

The account name of the poster is "Game Newbie", but in reality, he is a hidden expert and hardcore gamer. He spent almost 50 hours of the three days and 72 hours playing "Black Myth: Wukong".

Not only did I defeat the two bosses released in the test version, but I also explored almost the entire map released in the test version and even drew the map using drawing software.

He even marked the locations for picking some herbs on the map he drew.

Although he doesn't yet know what the purpose of picking these herbs is, he has decided to increase his workload just in case.

This video, which is over an hour long, quickly climbed to the top of Bilibili's trending video list shortly after it was released, and its ranking rose faster and faster. In just three hours, the video topped the list.

The gaming novice gained a hundredfold increase in followers with just this one video, becoming an absolute sensation.

Besides the beta testers who managed to snag a spot in the game's closed beta, a large portion of the viewers who contributed to the popularity and views of this long video for gaming newbies were players who couldn't play the beta version of "Black Myth: Wukong".

However, even if they cannot use the strategies summarized by game novices in the beta version, they plan to learn the strategies six months in advance so that they can quickly get started when the official version of "Black Myth: Wukong" is launched.

The comment section of the long video was quite lively.

"There are many hidden masters out there; I bow down to this legendary hard-working individual!!"

"I want to ask how many livers this expert has. The game has only been out for less than three days, and you have already completely completed it, and even had time to make this long video that is more than an hour long."

"I'm offering this triple like! Please kneel before me, sir! I'll be back once the official version of the game is released."

"Newbie asking for help from experienced players: How do I beat the Guardian level?"

"Is anyone else in the comments section experiencing motion sickness in 3D movies like me? I'd like to know how to overcome it."

"Feeling motion sickness in 3D? Just keep playing until you throw up, and then keep playing. That's how I overcame my motion sickness."

"That guy upstairs is really ruthless."

In the comment section of long videos, besides praising and admiring the video creators, there is another group of people who treat the video comment section as a consultation center for game-related problems, directly seeking help in the comment section.

However, this move did help many newbies solve the problems they encountered, and inadvertently expanded the target audience for "Black Myth: Wukong".

The streamer, Su Tao, was urged by her viewers to watch the over one-hour-long strategy video after the broadcast started.
