Speak, are you mute?!

Chapter 25 Speak up, are you dumb?!

Making up for shortcomings is not a simple task.

Relying solely on poaching people as a small tactic is not enough to make [Dream Ferry]'s users become active on their own.

Otherwise, so many community apps wouldn't have dwindled to less than six survivors.

--Of course, more than that number are still operating, but most are half-dead, with only a few leading platforms having active players and self-generating content.

Xu Meng told Song Zhicheng to recruit people as soon as possible, with the emphasis actually not on the recruiting itself, but on the "as soon as possible" part.

His experience in making independent games has led him to summarize a key point: "In the Internet age, it's easier to get things done while the iron is hot."

Xu Meng's goal is to take advantage of the high level of player discussion to bring a batch of active original users to Dream Ferry.

--Currently, the trailer is generating a lot of buzz, and it's the kind of racy buzz that's easiest to spread. The more the administrators delete it, the more players want to see it, making it impossible to suppress.

Now is the best opportunity to attract new users to Dream Ferry.

With this batch of newly arrived active users, the core advantages of [Dream Ferry] can be spread.

As for [Dream Ferry]'s small user base, lack of Cosers, and absence of strategy master residents, what core advantages could it possibly have? The answer, of course, is--

[Freedom]! Because of the unparalleled scale of the Frost Snow Project in the gacha game circle, [Dream Ferry] is destined to have more relaxed review standards than other communities.

Xu Meng has already decided to expand this "relaxed review standard."

It's not just the content review standards related to the Frost Snow Project that will be relaxed, but the review standards for all posts will be relaxed.

It's not just that illustrators and Cosers will have relaxed standards for posting photos, but the breadth of topics will also be the same.

The gacha game circle is divided into small circles by manufacturers, artificially creating rifts and conflicts between players.

Gacha game players can't even find a public community for free discussion.

--Of course, there are independent game player communities, but gacha game players are led by manufacturers to engage in daily verbal battles, the intensity of which is too high. Ordinary player communities really can't stand it, so they have to activate defense mode whenever the gacha game circle starts a war.

To put it bluntly, they are not very welcome.

Xu Meng is dissatisfied with these gacha game companies' land grabbing, but he also keenly realizes that this is an opportunity.

Gacha game players don't have their own public discussion community? Then let [Dream Ferry] become that discussion community! In the future, [Dream Ferry] will no longer restrict players from discussing other games. Users can talk about whatever games they want.

Anyway, there are plenty of operations people, so even if it's a bit chaotic, they can manage it.

Xu Meng tapped on the keyboard, deleting and modifying, and formulated new community rules for [Dream Ferry].

After writing for a while, the little assistant Chen Mengling ran over excitedly with tea.

But when she saw Xu Meng's expression, she slowed down and asked cautiously, "Boss, what's wrong?"

The whole company is immersed in the joy of the trailer's huge popularity and positive player reviews, so why does the boss look so irritable? Xu Meng frowned and took his hands off the keyboard.

He discovered his shortcomings.

His strengths lie in game development and Internet hype, but he has never done detailed community operations.

--He used to develop single-player games, so he didn't need to worry about these things?

After thinking about it, he deleted all the details he had just written, leaving only the "guiding spirit" at the top and sent it to Song Zhicheng.

Let the professionals do the professional things.

After sending the document, Xu Meng stretched and picked up the tea, looking at the little assistant: "Why are you so happy? Did you see something good?"

"Everyone online is talking about our game, isn't that enough to be happy about?! It's a sensation all over the Internet!"

"Not really." Xu Meng shook his head, "It's just a sensation among gacha game players. Look, it's not even in the top 5 trending searches."

"7th is already very impressive!"

Seeing that Xu Meng still didn't look happy, the little assistant immediately changed to a topic that would interest him: "Also, P Station is being scolded very badly now!"

"Oh?" Xu Meng's eyes lit up, "Why?"

"Also because of our trailer!" The little assistant's tone was light, "Wasn't our trailer blocked for a while? Many streamers went to rebroadcast Weiguang's video, and as a result, a bunch of people had their live broadcast rooms blocked."

"Plus, even if our trailer is released, it has White Mist, and compared to Weiguang's uncensored version, the viewing experience is also worse."

"P Station users are all complaining about discriminatory reviews, strictly controlling anime content on one hand, while turning a blind eye to live streamers and suggestive dances on the other. It's quite a ruckus!"

This was good news.

Xu Meng opened the trailer page and found that the comments section had become the main battlefield.

Moreover, the recommended videos linked to this video were all venting their dissatisfaction.

Xu Meng read some of the comments and discovered that this incident seemed to have started with the Frost Snow Project trailer, but there was actually another reason—

P Station started with anime content, but in recent years, it has been trying to de-anime itself. Old users have been holding back a lot of anger, and this time, the Frost Snow Project just happened to be the trigger for the conflict.

He wondered if the users' complaints would be of any use.

Xu Meng took one last look at the trailer's views and shook his head in disappointment.

—The Weiguang account, with only 1 million followers, had already reached 5 million views for the trailer. However, the P Station account, which should have been the main base with 2 million followers, only had a mere 800,000 views.

He didn't know if it could catch up with the current Weiguang popularity by tomorrow's update.

But the problem is...

The popularity on Weiguang is fake.

P Station's inherent anime attributes determine that a high percentage of its users can be converted into Frost Snow Project players.

But the user base of Weiguang is too complex, especially in recent years, it has almost become the base camp for celebrities, influencers, and feminist groups.

It is generous in giving you traffic, but how much value its traffic has... is hard to say.

So—

"We still have to build up Dream Ferry."

At the same time.

Konjac Games was shrouded in dark clouds.

Fei Zhiyuan once again personally visited the project team and convened a meeting of all project leaders.

The Frost Snow Project trailer greatly exceeded his expectations on many levels.

The most direct impact came from the trailer itself—

The original artwork released by Zhu Meng before looked indeed exquisite and of a high standard.

But no matter how high the standard of the original artwork is, it is just original artwork.

But now that the real machine trailer is out, the situation is completely different.

A high-level controllable character represents the comprehensive strength of the Modeling Department and the Animation Department from the original artwork! Zhu Meng, as a game company that has only been established for a year and a half, actually has the strength to threaten Konjac.

Even Zhu Meng really has the courage to not harmonize the original artwork at all!

How lewd the original artwork is, how lewd the real machine modeling is!

Even because the modeling can move, the lewdness of the character has been raised to another level.

—No, it's many levels!

Fei Zhiyuan looked at the swaying breasts and buttocks of the character on the projector, his face gloomy.

Zhu Meng's character real machine is extremely lewd.

In contrast, Konjac Games—

"What have we done with our new game that has been in development for half a year?!"

"Zhu Meng only took a month to create a character of this level."

"And it's not just one!"

"What about you?!"

Fei Zhiyuan pointed at all the leaders of the project X project, almost spitting on their faces across the conference table.

"Ask yourselves, have I not given you enough support?"

"You've spent half a year producing a bunch of second-rate characters that can't even be shown."

"I didn't blame you!"

"A month ago, you said you wanted to find more talented artists and invite higher-level models."

"I approved the money for you without saying a word!"

"Am I not supporting you enough?"

"But what about you?"

"How did you repay me?"

"Huh?"

Fei Zhiyuan slammed the table, making a loud bang!

"Speak up! Are you all dumb?!"
