After deciding to quit Atlantis, the group resigned from the team's boss.
Afterward, they scheduled a time to gather at a restaurant outside.
"Do you regret making this decision?" Chen Ziyu, as the captain, asked, looking at everyone.
Wang Damang: "Captain, we've been playing games together for so many years. We still have a keen sense of the game market. We just feel that "Battle Online" has great potential, so we quit Atlantis so resolutely. I don't think there's anything to regret. Besides, as the first batch of players, we have a great advantage. Are we afraid of not making money in the future?"
Xueli, who was secretly eating on the side, raised her head: "Yeah, you might not believe it, but I even wanted to whale a bit, but I can't find a recharge channel. So sad~"
Xueli's words resonated with everyone.
Not only Xueli, but basically everyone present had the idea of recharging to get a good set of equipment in the game.
However, the game, as the introduction said, actually had no recharge interface, which left them speechless.
But in their opinion, if the game wants to develop and the game company wants to make money, this feature will come out sooner or later.
In addition, Soul Coins in this game are very scarce. They can completely hoard a wave of Soul Coins for sale, so they don't have to worry about not making money at all.
"So, you guys mean we should continue to form a guild in this new game and play together?" Chen Ziyu's face showed a smile.
"That's a must. Anyway, we already have a system for distributing items after killing monsters. That's not a problem. But what I find strange is that I've searched many game platforms, but I haven't found any promotional advertisements for this game. What is this company thinking?"
"Right? If I hadn't accidentally clicked on it, I really wouldn't have dared to believe that such an epic game would be hanging on the homepage of a small game website." Wang Damang immediately followed up on Wang Chao's words, looking puzzled.
Maybe the boss who made this game really doesn't lack money, everyone could only guess.
At the same time, Lu Wu and Bei Li, who were staying in the house, were swallowing instant noodles from a bowl each.
"Lu Wu, you're really poor~" After taking another bite of instant noodles, Bei Li replied with a bitter face.
This made Lu Wu's face turn red, and he smiled awkwardly: "When we have more players, there will be ways to make money. Then I'll take you to eat delicacies and fatten you up."
Bei Li nodded cutely, moved her chopsticks twice, and picked up a noodle, "Sluuurp~"
"By the way, why do you also need to eat?" Lu Wu asked curiously while eating noodles.
"The Underworld is also divided into physical and ethereal bodies. I am a physical creature, so of course I have to eat." Bei Li answered as a matter of course.
Lu Wu was stunned, and then he remembered that Bei Li had always been physical, and he could touch her.
After eating the noodles, Lu Wu and Bei Li started discussing again how to promote the game.
If they only rely on small game websites, the traffic is too low, and no players will click on it.
But if they want to promote it, they first need a large sum of money.
Just like a certain short video platform, this platform has a lot of traffic, but if you want to promote on this website, you must first have a sum of money stored in the promotion account.
Then the platform will put up your advertisement and link.
Every time a visitor clicks on this link, the platform will deduct 1 yuan of advertising fee from your promotion account, even if the visitor accidentally clicks on it, is not interested and closes it, this is also a deduction.
At this rate, with the traffic of this large platform, it would be impossible to afford the promotion without a million-dollar fee a day.
Moreover, "Battle Online" has no charging items now, the expenditure is huge, and there is no income, Lu Wu decisively gave up this kind of promotion.
So the two had to think of other ways and started browsing several game platforms, trying to find out if there were any platform-organized activities.
After searching dozens of platforms, Lu Wu really found a free promotion event on a large game platform.
[The Best New Game's Player Killer List]
In order to find the best new game of the year, the Platform173 has launched a game promotion voting event. All certified and registered game websites can select a self-made game from this site to participate in the Platform173's New Game PK List. During the event, all participating games will be scored by the platform's game reviewers, with a total of 10 points.
All games with a score of 8 points or more will receive a day of homepage promotion on this platform, and players will start the voting process.
Event selection time: Thirty days
First place prize:
Ten days of homepage promotion resources on the Platform173, a 5-minute CG production of the game
Second place prize:
Platform173 Homepage Five-Day Promotion Resources
Third Place Prize:
Platform173 Homepage Two-Day Promotion Resources
173 Game Platform reserves all rights to interpret this event.
Lu Wu and Bei Li exchanged excited glances after seeing this information.
If they could truly get promoted on the homepage of a large gaming platform like 173, the traffic would be considerable.
And the best part was that this was a free event.
Of course, all of this depended on the game getting at least 8 points, the baseline for promotion.
But Lu Wu wasn't worried about that.
A game with 100% realism didn't exist in the current market. He was confident he could get in the top three, or even first place!
Seeing that there were still three days to register, Lu Wu decisively clicked to participate, then sent his small game website information and qualification certificate, and waited for a reply.
173's customer service was very efficient. After a moment, they replied to Lu Wu, giving him an audit link for the entry.
Lu Wu opened the link, filled in his website information again, registered an account, and uploaded the game [Battle Online] to the website audit page.
Then a prompt popped up:
Under review, please wait patiently. You will receive a reply with the audit information within three to five days.
After doing all this, Lu Wu began discussing game optimization with Bei Li.
After a three-hour discussion, Lu Wu and Bei Li, with a draft in hand, began planning the game's main quest.
The so-called main quest must be extended and developed from the theme of conquest.
Thinking of his ancestor's ambition, Lu Wu felt a surge of pride. As long as the game was popular enough, he could have an endless stream of immortal players to serve him. As the players' strength grew, what was the Bei Qi Great Domain? He wanted the entire Underworld!
Bei Li, who was very familiar with the entire Bei Qi landscape, acted as a military advisor, reminding Lu Wu of the forces to watch out for in the Bei Qi territory.
According to Bei Li, King of Beiqi had three Ghost Kings and ten Ghost Generals under his command. After the King of Beiqi died, the entire Bei Qi was divided into thirteen regions by these forces.
The area where the Netherworld was located was on the east side, occupied by a Ghost General named Cha Na.
How to take back the territory from Cha Na was the initial main quest Lu Wu was considering.
Lu Wu set the main quest to start at level 15. After all, if the players' levels were too low, they wouldn't even be able to handle a Ghost Soldier, and they wouldn't be able to form a scaled fighting force.
At the same time, the two also considered the NPC template design.
These NPCs, which would increase the game's playability, were simple to create. All they needed to do was use the Conquest Divine Artifact to condense a body. The important thing was how to give the NPCs intelligence.
If they wanted the game to stand out, the NPCs' status was very important. How to make them have independent consciousness was the key.
Lu Wu had no way to solve this problem, so he threw it to Bei Li, the game developer.
But to Lu Wu's surprise, Bei Li confidently patted her chest:
"Leave it to me. It's not difficult. You know, the Underworld is the final destination of living beings. We can find those initial souls that have just been born in the Underworld and have not yet developed intelligence, and use the Divine Artifact to reorganize their souls, giving them new memories and missions."
"But where can we find such souls?" Lu Wu asked in surprise.
"These souls that have died are randomly reborn in the Underworld. It could be anywhere. We can issue a task and have the players find the nascent souls to make NPCs for us!"
"Good!"
Lu Wu nodded and used his consciousness to issue a new task in the game:
[Permanent Task: Soul Collector]: Find initial souls randomly born in the lands of the Underworld. After finding them, you can sell them in the store. Each initial soul costs 100 Soul Coins.
At the same time, to let players understand what an initial soul was, Lu Wu also had Bei Li create a picture and post it in the task list so that players could better distinguish them.
The reward for this task could be said to be the highest of all tasks. At the same time, this kind of task that completely depended on luck also increased the fun of the game.
Whether you were lucky or unlucky, it all depended on your face.
