  Chapter 1181 An inspirational history of a broken word of mouth

   Time comes to the end of 2021, and the fierce competition in the video game industry shows no signs of abating.

  As long as there is a slight gap in the game release window of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, other game companies will start to attack frantically.

  These game companies have no temper for Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and are even a little scared. They call Youxing Electronic Entertainment the big devil of the game industry.

  As long as the big devil haunts, nothing will grow.

  So it is very important to have a window where Yuxing Electronic Entertainment does not release games, and it has become a battleground for military strategists.

   Seriously, some companies have even started various public opinion wars to directly suppress competitors.

   Among them, there is a game that is still very inconspicuous.

   This game is not named under the name of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

  Because this game did not belong to Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the beginning, and did not actively join Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the future.

  But it also has the full support of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and the latest technology and resources can be provided.

   "Version 3.0 has entered the final testing stage and can be updated as planned!"

   "The art team has started the art design for version 4.0 update, boss, we will definitely be able to complete the task ahead of schedule this time!"

  Here is the company of the infinite world game development team.

  They are now working at the former site of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

  The appearance of this low-rise single-family office building is somewhat mottled, full of traces of time, but the people inside are full of vigor.

  Each of them is looking forward to a better tomorrow, and their games will become more and more popular.

  In fact, this is indeed the case. The word-of-mouth collapsed from the initial release of Infinite World to the bottom, and then began to climb out of the abyss step by step.

   Infinite World 2.0, this is a very important version.

   Added sandbox construction function, and used the latest AI technology to produce random world.

   The replayability has increased a lot, at least let those old players who were still a little bit interested successfully stay, and will not give up this game easily.

  And these players are also very willing to actively recommend others to play.

   "The game Infinity World is still not fun, but it's cheap. You can see that the discounted price is only ten dollars, which is the price of two hamburgers."

   "Infinite World still has many shortcomings, but they don't run away, and they have the technical support of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. The future is promising. It's like watching a stock go up slowly against the trend, which makes people look forward to and excited."

  And listen to these recommended players, they may still not be interested, but this also left an impression on them.

   Infinity World This game used to suck, but they have a team that is willing to give up.

  The world often likes to tolerate those who are willing to work hard and are willing to slowly turn bad things into good things.

   And now, Infinite World 3.0 is about to be released, and it is still free as always.

   What is added this time is more advanced AI computing technology, as well as the picture improvement provided by the latest Unreal Engine version.

   And now it is no longer limited to four-player online play, and now supports more than 32 players to take risks in one world at the same time.

  According to the follow-up update plan, when the game reaches 5.0 or 6.0, the online play limit may be expanded again.

  By this time, there will be people in the infinite world, and there will be more infinite possibilities.

  3.0 also has a new large-scale infrastructure gameplay this time.

   To put it simply, it is to put the construction gameplay similar to the simulated city building directly into the infinite world.

   Infinite World The game space is almost infinite.

  It is difficult for players to make such a world rich even with a lifetime of experience.

  When the game was first released, many players later ridiculed that this infinite world is like an infinite wasteland.

  The background story of the game is that there are countless civilizations, humanities, technologies and so on.

  But when you actually play, you can't do it at all.

  Even if it is just one or two large-scale civilized cities, it will take a lot of energy.

   Cyberpunk took years to create a fully detailed Night City.

  After having experience in the development of Cyberpunk 2077, it will take about two years to make the city of Rogue 5.

   It is basically impossible to achieve this level with the team of more than 100 people in Infinite World.

   This requires some tricky methods.

  I can’t do so many colorful world civilizations by myself.

   So, how about giving it to the player?

  This large-scale city construction gameplay has such a purpose.

   Players are also very interested after learning about it, and there are also many creative people in this world.

  As long as you give them a stage to show, they will be able to present exciting enough content.

  Version 3.0 was officially released at the end of that year, and at the same time came a higher discount.

   Only $7 gets you an infinite world that can be continuously updated.

  The official promise will not launch any paid content at least until the official 5.0 version arrives.

   This suddenly aroused the favor of many players.

   In the case of word of mouth, Infinite World began to usher in a small wave of sales peak.

  The Infinite World team spent the first three days in anxiety when they released version 3.0.

  Because they don't know whether the content of their update this time can satisfy players.

   What should they do if they cannot be satisfied?

  If it is satisfied, what kind of content should they make in the next step to satisfy players who have raised the threshold?

   It seems that whether it is a good result or a bad result, it seems that this team is full of sorrow.

  Success seems to have troubles of success.

   Of course they must still expect good results.

   After three days, player feedback started to increase.

   There is a player who is a designer engaged in urban planning.

   Playing Infinity World was a coincidence. He was not recommended, but he suddenly saw the recommendation of Infinite World on the Battle.net platform, and the keywords of city construction and planning appeared on it.

  His work genes are activated immediately.

   Then he looked at the price of the game, it was only seven dollars, so it doesn't matter if it's not fun to buy.

  Purchase and download the game. After simply experiencing the first ten minutes of the game tutorial, players can explore at will. The city building function is also activated when entering a new infinite world.

   Then he started his urban planning journey.

   In the city building gameplay, this team has been guided by the team of Youxing Electronic Entertainment very carefully, and the control of details is becoming more and more exquisite.

  So far, ten different civilization technologies and construction systems have been officially announced. Different technologies and construction systems cannot be combined casually, because each civilization will have its own unique style.

  This is a bit like the redstone system in Minecraft. There are ten variants of the redstone system.

   This ten system may seem basic, but its upper limit is infinitely high.
