Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Wu Haoyu realized something was wrong and understood the seriousness of the situation, so he began to rectify the game development team.

However, he could only oversee the development team.

It can be viewed from God's perspective.

At this point, it is operations that should truly play a role.

The "Millennium Green" meme was a fatal blow to the entire game because it was too catchy.

Is black traffic still traffic?

It really is traffic.

However, this kind of traffic requires you to use even more traffic to circulate.

Once the impression of "a thousand-year-old green" is planted...

It's very difficult to erase.

Does Bilibili have the capability to operate mobile games?

No.

If a masterpiece like FGO can still cause trouble in Bilibili's hands, then Millennium Journey is even more likely to be affected.

Bilibili, as the operator, did not play any promotional role at all.

This is why "Dust White Forbidden Zone" and "Millennium Journey" have developed positive reputations among their respective player communities in the later stages.

But in the end, the "Dust White Forbidden Zone" completed its transformation.

The "Millennium Journey" remains stagnant.

That's the crux of the problem.

"Chenbai" is ultimately operated by Xishanju itself, and they are able to convey messages such as "the game is getting better" and "we are going to make spicy hot pot".

However, the "Millennium Journey" did not convey any related information at all.

Even after Chen Bai turned things around, many casual players' first reaction upon hearing "Millennium Journey" was still, "How come this Millennium Green is still alive?"

This is the difference in operations.

At the same time, this is also the best illustration of the drawbacks of the agent model.

Your Millennium Journey development team wants to save itself? Go ahead and try to save it, what does it have to do with Bilibili? Anyway, Bilibili doesn't make money, and I lose money operating this crappy game of yours.

You want me to fund the marketing and promotion of your failed game again? What, don't you think I've already lost enough?

The core issue of operations remains unresolved.

Everything else is useless.

After the "Millennium Green" event, there was no further promotion or marketing for the entire Millennium Journey.

Even after that.

Wu Haoyu made what can be said to be the most correct decision, without any hesitation, and directly removed the carbon cat.

The development team also issued a rectification notice, and later on, they completely shifted towards the direction of ML.

In the end, however, they failed, failed, and failed again.

The water level kept dropping.

The market cannot be built on mere dreams.

The dissemination of information incurs costs.

How many people will see your announcement? And how many will believe it? It directly determines the fate of a game.

Besides.

Wu Haoyu also did not pay enough attention to the pace of the "Millennium Green" project.

If Lin Li were to operate this game at this time, he would issue an announcement to make rectifications.

There's one more thing I'll do: change my name.

For a game that has received little to no promotion, the first impression from outsiders is that the game is amazing. This impression can directly determine the life or death of a game.

In particular, your publicity efforts are insufficient?

Many players simply don't bother to understand what you've done.

If they simply changed the name, at least casual players would think, "Oh? You changed the name? Has something changed in the game?"

This can somewhat make up for the lack of game promotion.

of course.

The Journey Through a Thousand Years: Bao Si's Flowing Water is More Than Just Copywriting.

Although the third closed beta test was a disaster, earning it the reputation of being a "millennial green" (a derogatory term for a game), it made it extremely difficult for the development team to attract new users.

However, at this point, the Journey Through the Millennium still has the potential to be revived.

Unfortunately, at the time of launch, due to insufficient development experience, coupled with the departure of the main creator, Carbon Cat, the server was shut down.

This led to a series of outrageous bugs appearing one after another.

for example.

On the day of the server launch, the consumption of in-game currency on iOS and Android was not synchronized in real time.

This means that the same account can be logged in on both Android and iOS devices simultaneously, and after finishing the draw on one device, you can go to the other device to draw again.

This bug has not been fixed yet.

Then an even more serious bug appeared: the game's premium currency could be modified through certain means and could be claimed indefinitely.

This has led to a surge in the sale of such accounts on secondhand account trading platforms.

A series of extremely serious bugs forced the game to shut down for maintenance just a few hours after its launch.

The server reopening time was delayed again and again, and eventually it was delayed until the evening of the next day.

In this way, it's practically equivalent to the server not being open on the first day, and also equivalent to it not being open on the second day.

Things have developed to this point.

The game was basically doomed. Even if all the bugs were eventually fixed and the game became playable again, the revenue would have already collapsed.

Players lost confidence.

But even so.

The journey through a thousand years is not without the possibility of resurrection.

For example, the "First-Class Star Night" campaign marked the first time copywriting truly took off.

Unfortunately, the copywriting did a great job, but the numerical design was a disaster.

The event was completely ruined by its absurd numerical design.

Later, with the legendary producer Yu Zhongshao Qian 2 Bao Si, players began to utter the slogan "If you're a guy, don't play this game."

Chen Bai used this opportunity to soar upwards.

Also featuring ML, the all-female Millennium Journey thought it had finally gotten its chance.

Many players of the Millennium Journey also hope that their favorite game can be revived.

Unfortunately, it remained lifeless in the end.

Many people don't understand why.

it's actually really easy.

Because the meme of "green for a thousand years" has not faded with time.

Wu Haoyu and his team of developers thought that so much time had passed that the matter should have been over.

Players who were still playing the game also thought that the matter was over.

But in fact, for a considerable period of time, the Journey Through the Millennium was still equated by passersby with the Millennium Greenery.

There has not been a single large-scale public opinion campaign on the internet to overturn the verdict on the Millennium Journey.

In other words, the initial black pot was never opened during the entire thousand-year journey.

Chapter Ninety-Five: Terrifyingly Terrifying

Of course, besides the operation, the game Journey to a Thousand Years also has many problems.

"Your entire project is too deliberately pursuing a Japanese style. Just change the copywriting. There are too many settings, it's too pretentious. Games are for serving players, not for moving yourself. This person is not suitable for commercial projects."

"For example, why arrange for a female passerby to pretend to be a player and fall in love with the character in this scene? The script should serve the plot, not spoil it."

"Also, regarding this character, judging from your description, you used a lot of writing and system details to describe the witch, but why are players being asked to draw Star Marks? Why not sell the character, but the weapon?"

"Hmm? You mean, this is your lead planner's exploration of game monetization models?"

"Stop using such flowery language, you just want more pay-to-win content, right? One character can have three Star Marks, and three witches would correspond to nine Star Marks?"

"So, with more characters available for players to draw, their income will increase?"

"You're a genius. How did you come up with such a bizarre pricing model?"

Lin Li said.

Wu Haoyu kept taking notes on his phone.

These questions hit the nail on the head. Wu Haoyu had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the project, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After Lin Liyi's guidance, everything became clear instantly.

However, when recording the problem.

Yet, a wildly imaginative idea could still pop into his mind.

Is President Lin really human?

Is the difference between people really that big?

It should be noted that from the time he got into the car and handed over the document to the time Lin Li finished flipping through the entire document, only a few minutes had passed.

Wu Haoyu also plans to provide further explanation and add some ideas for game development.

As a result, Lin Li immediately unleashed a barrage of attacks.

It was absolutely terrifying.

In just a few minutes, all the problems in the project can be broken down and analyzed.

Just how high is Lin Li's understanding and analytical ability regarding game projects?

It's absolutely terrifying to think about.

This is not some nonsense or rambling that comes from hastily accepting a project plan.

Although Wu Haoyu did not directly lead the project team in the creative process.

But I was involved in the whole process.

Therefore, Lin Li was very clear about what he was saying; he could only say such things because he had a certain level of understanding of the project.

But the problem is.

The two had never met before.

That's amazing!

After Lin Li finished explaining the problem, Wu Haoyu, while inwardly reflecting, summarized Lin Li's output.

"President Lin, do you mean I'm playing the game in the style of Gokkou Ruri?"

Lin Li glanced at him in surprise.

One thing is certain: this kid is a true homebody.

This occasion is somewhat semi-formal; for example, they even used anime characters.

However, the example given is quite apt.

Ruri Gokou, a popular character in the anime "Oreimo", was quite popular in 18.
