A week later, May 18th, Tuesday …
At Shang Yang Games …
The changes to the initial version had been completed. However, Ye Zhizhou still had not made up his mind to submit it and update the game.
Ye Zhizhou's hands trembled when he thought about how Shang Yang Games' fate would be rewritten with a single command from him. It would be sent to an unknown place.
A week had passed since the previous meeting. Everything that needed to be changed had already been changed.
According to Boss Pei's instructions, the purchase options for Romantic Taoist and Bloody Battle Song had all been removed. Each game only had one purchase option left.
Romantic Taoist was a simulation game. There was no competition between players. That was why it was easier to change. They only kept the most basic Acceleration Card as the purchase option.
After all, the game could be discontinued at any time. It was no longer the focus of their work.
The focus was on Bloody Battle Song.
After much consideration, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin decided to leave the only purchase option for this game: stamina potions.
The price of stamina potions increased gradually. Each person could spend at most a hundred ingots a day, which was ten yuan.
In order to achieve the goal of leaving only one purchase option, Wang Xiaobin almost completely redesigned the entire system. The other developers also cooperated with these changes. They developed some replacement system functions, such as the 'Chosen One System' that Ye Zhizhou had mentioned before.
After the changes, the skin was still the same. However, the core of the game had changed beyond recognition.
Wang Xiaobin walked to Ye Zhizhou's side and sat down. "Do you have any other questions?"
Ye Zhizhou shook his head. "No. I'm just … a little worried.
"The changes are too big. What's more, there are no other successful games to refer to. I came up with this idea on the spur of the moment …
"I don't know what the consequences will be. I'm not confident at all."
In the past, every time Shang Yang Games had a meeting, Old Liu would always ask, "Are there any other successful games?"
If not, the idea would most likely be rejected.
Ye Zhizhou was more or less used to this way of thinking. That was why he was not confident.
"Brother Wang, you have a lot of experience. Do you think it will work?"
Wang Xiaobin sighed softly and said earnestly, "Little Ye, you're the chief planner now. You have to make your own decisions. You can't ask anyone else.
"It doesn't matter if it works or not. The honor is yours, and so is the responsibility. As the chief planner, I have to shoulder these responsibilities. "
"Do you remember Game Designer? Actually, other people's opinions are just voice-overs. Apart from disturbing you, they don't have much effect. "
Ye Zhizhou nodded and sighed softly, "Yes."
Ye Zhizhou had completed Game Designer several times. He could recite many choices and endings like the back of his hand.
In the game, he could ignore the narration and choose the correct answer.
But in reality, although he understood a lot of principles, he still couldn't achieve that kind of confidence and freedom.
Wang Xiaobin stood up and added, "It's normal to be confused. You just have to remember that you are completing Boss Pei's task. "
Ye Zhizhou's eyes lit up.
That's right. No matter what, this was a mission from Boss Pei!
Whether he succeeded or failed, wouldn't it be fine as long as he followed Boss Pei's instructions?
Thinking of this, Ye Zhizhou no longer hesitated. He checked the new version one last time and then sent a message in the group.
"Update the version."
…
A few hours later.
Bloody Battle Song became a large-scale multiplayer online chat room.
Large groups of players from various servers gathered in the main city's plaza to discuss the latest announcement.
Since Bloody Battle Song was released, it had gone through dozens of iterations. Every time there was an update announcement, it would be announced. However, none of them had caused such a heated discussion.
The players stopped fighting and leveling up. They were all discussing the new version.
"Which big shot can explain to me what the announcement means? Is the shop going to only have the most basic stamina potion in the future? Everything else … is not for sale anymore? "
"I heard that everything else is being given away."
"Everything … is being given away? Is the game going to stop being played? Is this going to be the last party? "
"Many people quit the game when that 888-yuan saber was released. It's only a matter of time before the game goes cold. Sigh, I'll play as long as I can. "
"That doesn't feel right. Shouldn't they be trying to earn more money before the game goes cold? What's with giving away all the good stuff in the past? Is there something wrong with their brains? Are they trying to dissuade ballers? "
"We can still spend money if we want to. We can buy stamina potions repeatedly, but we can only buy ten a day. The more we buy, the more expensive it gets. If we buy all of them in a day, we can spend a hundred ingots. "
"Stop fooling around. A hundred ingots is just ten yuan! Not to mention ballers, even people like me who have a bit of financial ability don't think it's money. "
"I don't understand what the officials are doing at all."
"Our guild leader has already gone to top up money. He said that we have to top up as much as we can before the game updates. Otherwise, we won't be able to buy them when they go out of print!"
"It's too late. The game has already been updated. All the top-up entrances have been closed."
"… We can't even top up money even if we want to. Awesome!"
"This game reminds me of Ghost General."
"I have a question. Based on the way things are going, does everyone have to start from zero when the new server is released? Can we max out our combat strength by spending ten yuan a day? "
"According to what the announcement says, that's right."
"That's not right. How do we fight the national war? Everyone has the same combat strength, so we just have to see which side has more people? "
"No, it seems like there's a 'Chosen One System'. It will dynamically balance out the strength of both sides based on the number of people on each side. It will even randomly select players to play the role of a strong fighter."
"Does that mean that if I'm selected, I can also experience the thrill of defeating ten people alone in the national war?"
"Then what's the point of playing the old server? Sell accounts, sell accounts! Sell them cheaply! I'm going to the new server! "
From the moment the system announcement was made until the version update, the discussions among the players had never stopped.
The originally lifeless official forum suddenly had a large number of new posts, and the discussions were in full swing!
Ye Zhizhou knew that the players would definitely not be able to understand the changes in the new version so quickly. It was normal for such a large-scale discussion to occur.
It was a good thing that there was discussion. However, he was afraid that the players would still be indifferent after the version update. That would really be the end.
Ye Zhizhou opened a smurf account and silently observed the players' reactions.
Unexpectedly, no one objected vehemently.
He thought that the ballers would be cursing and swearing. However, after entering the game, he realized that those dissatisfied comments were quickly wiped out and did not cause any reaction.
Everyone was discussing how the changes would affect the national war. Most of them were discussing when the new server would be released.
"Everyone is requesting to release a new server. Why is everyone so enthusiastic?"
Ye Zhizhou looked at Wang Xiaobin. "Brother Wang, why don't we release a new server to test the waters?"
