Swarming in

"Very good, it seems that "Light Encounter" has also inherited the free tradition of "Wind Journey", and it is worthy of being a companion piece!"

Xia Yi was stunned and immediately praised Lin You. She believed that Lin You would not do any tricks like cutting leeks.

Looking back at the boundless sea water, she retracted her gaze and walked quickly along the path in front of her.

But Super Tomato, who also entered the game, was different. He curiously took a few steps into the water and found that he did not encounter any obstacles.

So why bother thinking about what to do?

Under the gaze of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room, he ignored the path in front of him, jumped into the sea, and tried to swim to the edge of the map.

But the thick clothes on his body made it very difficult, and he soon discovered that when he was on the ground, it felt like "Wind Journey", the gravity was weakened, and it was easier to walk.

But once you enter the water, the ease disappears instantly, and it is even more difficult than swimming in reality!

After struggling to swim less than 5 meters, he found that he couldn't swim anymore.

So he guessed that this might be the form of "map boundary" specially designed by Yunmeng, just like the street in "League of Assassins" that can never be walked out.

Super Tomato turned around and wanted to swim back, but found that his body was getting heavier and heavier. He swam upwards desperately, but his body fell faster.

Then, everything went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already standing on the small beach at the beginning.

"What? Did I drown? Just a few meters away from the shore??!" Super Tomato was speechless.

The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter.

Super Tomato could only comfort himself: "Anyway, I have nothing on me, so there is no loss if I drown. Okay, let's officially set off!"

Not only them, after discovering that Yunmeng actually launched "Light Encounter" 20 minutes early, all the waiting players rushed into the game eagerly.

In the Yunmeng virtual office, everyone looked at the real-time data displayed in the background and silently recited the number of players pouring into the game.

There are some employees who are easily agitated, and their voices become louder and louder without realizing it——

"200,000 players enter!"

"600,000 players!"

"2.4 million!"

"3.9 million!"

"4.6 million!"

"5000000!"

…

After the number of simultaneous online players reached 5 million, it finally began to slow down significantly.

But this has been a huge success!

It should be taken into consideration that it is still 2 o'clock in the afternoon on a working day, and many players who own Mirage are still attending classes and working, and cannot go online.

With this online number now, probably all players who are interested in the game and have time have already logged in as soon as possible!

Everyone subconsciously wanted to raise their arms and cheer, but as soon as they raised their hands, they heard a loud noise.

"boom!"

A huge firework exploded out of thin air, and colorful paper flew down one after another.

Everyone looked over in surprise and found that it was the boss Lin You who had done it.

Immediately afterwards——

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Huge fireworks exploded one after another, and confetti filled the entire space like rain.

All the employees applauded enthusiastically to celebrate the women's army in the office.

Qin Songyun looked at Xiaochun and clapped especially hard.

Xiaochun, the original art girl, intern Zhu Cixia, and the other girls who later joined the team were all very excited, a little embarrassed, and kept looking at the players' online data.

They were also very surprised by this achievement.

"Assassin's League" did not have so many players online at the same time as soon as it was released!

Of course, rationality tells them that the 500 yuan price of "Assassin's League" is different from the free situation of "Light Encounter". When "Assassin's League" was released, there were not so many mirage consoles...

But, I’m still so excited!

"Okay, it's time to send out the celebration posters." Lin You reminded.

Because the first members of the team led by Xiaochun were all art girls. They carefully drew celebratory posters for the games they made - another treatment that "Assassin's League" did not enjoy.

Even if the sales volume of "Assassin's League" reaches the top in the world, it is just a little bit of news.

——After all, it is the weekend and everyone is resting.

"Then should we only send out celebration posters for 5 million, or start from 1 million?" asked a girl.

Xiaochun was also a little hesitant and looked at Lin You.

"Everything has been done well. It would be a pity not to give out too much, just give them out one by one." Lin You respects the fruits of the employees' labor.

Of course, it’s not just players who are paying attention to the release of “Light Encounter”.

In fact, every time Yunmeng releases a new game, producers in the entire game industry will pay close attention to it.

But this time, among these game producers, the producers of PC and console games pay much more attention than VR.

The reason lies in the release of the multi-platform version of "Journey".

NetDragon's Feilong series has naturally been banned, but Desert Island and Feihu's VR devices are still compatible.

However, this kind of compatibility is only at the level of "playable". When it comes to the specific degree of adaptation, it is actually very reluctant.

The omnidirectional treadmill of VR equipment can of course not only turn and run in the horizontal direction, but also has carefully designed traction ropes in the vertical direction, which can help players make some more difficult actions.

For example, floating in the air for a long time after jumping, combined with the game's graphics, can show effects similar to skydiving and floating, jumping more than ten meters.

Another example is the effect of turning around, moving sideways, and even doing somersaults while suspended in the air. However, these vertical special movements require special optimization in conjunction with the game.

At the same time, these are relatively short-term movements. The design of omnidirectional treadmills is ultimately designed to serve ground sports.

And "Journey" is such a game that you have to fly around at every turn!

Of course, it doesn't matter whether you are playing PC or console games. You are just typing on the keyboard or pressing the controller anyway.

But VR equipment is not good. Any flight movements need to be specially optimized to achieve synchronization and coordination with VR equipment.

Lin You didn't know the core parameters of Feihu and Desert Island's equipment - they couldn't just take them out, and Lin You didn't bother to study them.

Even if Lin You is willing to optimize, they still have to consider whether the player's long-term and high-frequency floating movements will affect the service life of the traction rope.

In the end, they just pretended they didn't know about it.

You should also treat the player's message as if you can't see it, just let him be.

Therefore, "Light Encounter" is a companion piece to "Wind Journey". Looking at the trailer, there is even more emphasis on flying. Deserted Island and Flying Fox are even less bothered to care about. There is no need to copy them. Our equipment is not suitable!

Just take a look twice.

Under the attention of big factories to "look twice" and small factories to "learn from others", the Lingxi official account of "Light Encounter" released a congratulatory picture -

A little man in a green cloak held a burning candle high in his hands, and there was a beautiful rainbow aperture around the edge of the candle's light.

"The number of "Light Encounter" players online at the same time exceeded 1 million!"

"Awesome..." a game producer from a small studio exclaimed, "As soon as it is released, 1 million people will be online immediately. When can we make a game with a million sales?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the official account of "Light Encounter" posted another congratulatory picture——

A little man wearing a yellow cloak and carrying a chair on his back waved hello to the little man in a green cloak in the distance.

"The number of "Light Encounter" players online at the same time exceeded 2 million!"

The producer looked at this picture and slowly opened his mouth. Is this two million?

No way……

Thanks Qianlie for the 100-point reward!
Chapter completed!
