Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

After summarizing all the big and small issues found in the test, they were all updated to the log, and the next step was to fix them one by one.

Lincoln went to the amusement park first, deciding to add three more rules for this leisure place:

First: After entering the amusement park area, everyone is invincible.

Second: Without the player’s permission, their body cannot be touched.

Third: After entering the amusement park, give players positive emotional hints to reduce the possibility of doing evil.

With these three measures, it should be enough to make this a safe area, avoiding any accidents.

He opened the development log and put a check on this item.

Then he switched areas to fix the next problem.

At the same time, in Streamer Yi’s live broadcast room.

Facing the camera, he held up a pack of Wusu Diapers and vividly introduced it: “Wusu Diapers, a ten-year-old brand, convenient, fast, and worry-free, with super absorption, personally tested for no side leakage…

In the end, Yi took the order for the diaper brand.

But it wasn’t because of the three-times order price, but because of the brand.

When he was just a small anchor, this brand was the first to give him an order, and the price was also reasonable at that time.

In a way, it can be considered that he is repaying a favor, not bending down for money!

In the midst of Yi’s live stream, amid the flurry of ‘I???” “Hahaha”, and “Ohhhhhh”, he finally completed the advertisement.

As for the barrage of comments, he automatically understood it as “the ad is very effective.”

Next was his game time, and the cycle of old players leading new ones in the virtual world of “Traveler of the Wind” was still going on.

But some anchors had spent money on the PC or console version, wanting to Play It on tnelr live Droaacast ana analyze tne ditrerences ror tnelr viewers.

After all, the number of viewers who can play games with Mirage is far less than those with PC and console, so this kind of live stream is still popular among the audience.

Yi also arranged for this segment and downloaded the PC version early.

However, as he played, he got distracted, threw the controller aside, and slumped in his chair as if deflated, shouting out in frustration, “I feel so bad! I haven’t played ‘Assassin’ for half a day! I can’t take it anymore!”

Seeing the anchor squirming like a worm in the chair, the comments don’t find it strange.

“Ah, the anchor is sick again.”

“Started broadcasting an hour ago, got sick 5 times already, right?”

“It seems quite serious. I have seen other anchors in the closed beta, they only get sick 2.5 times on average every hour.”

“What’s wrong with these people? The closed beta only ended yesterday, and they are all like addicts today, can’t focus on anything else, their minds are filled only with the new game. The game is good, but is it really that addictive?”

“It’s like they’ve been collectively cursed!”

While the comments were analyzing the illness, Yi had already rushed to the computer, opened the Spiritual Rhinoceros Homepage of Dream Cloud Studio, found the “Assassin’s League” trailer released at the beginning, and started commenting.

‘Cloud Dream, I beg you, please release it quickly! I haven’t played “Assassin” for a day! I want to rob a bank! I want to bungee jump! I want to fight with my girlfriend! I can’t take it anymore, take me away!’

After sending the comment, he refreshed it and saw a row of new comments appearing.

‘I haven’t played “Assassin” for three years! Cloud Dream, how can you bear it?’

‘Can I experience a real gun shooting range in Xiajing City? I feel like I’m a sharpshooter, really!’

‘First day without the Assassin’s world, miss it.

Second month without the Assassin’s world, miss it, miss it.

Third year without the Assassin’s world, miss it, miss it, miss it…’

On this Monday, less than a day after the closed beta of “Assassin’s League” ended.

Out of the 100 closed beta test players, more than 60 exhibited a strong addiction reaction, which manifested in two ways:

First, they exhausted all the praise they had ever heard, and passionately promoted the game to everyone.

Second, they experienced intermittent fits of madness. Regardless of what they were originally doing, they would suddenly wail out of the blue, passionately wanting to return to the game world.

This commotion made the unbearable Monday workday much more bearable, and aroused strong curiosity and anticipation among countless players.

After all, it’s hard not to wonder what’s so extraordinary about this game when so many people are obsessing over it.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Lincoln checked the development log and saw that there were not many problems to fix. It wouldn’t be difficult, and if it weren’t for his no-overtime policy, they could have finished by today.

After these fixes, there wouldn’t be much left to develop for the game.

“In that case, let’s just release it this Saturday, along with the new batch of Mirage consoles,” Lincoln pondered, “That way, we can also boost the sales of the Mirage.”

Before that, they still had enough time to do something interesting.

There’s no pressure, right?”

“No pressure at all!”

“Piece of cake! We’ll be completely done by the day after tomorrow at the latest!”

Everyone was in high spirits and extremely confident in the development progress.

Although they hadn’t been at Dream Cloud Studio for a full month, this period of work had already completely changed their work philosophy.

Back at NetDragon, even the star production team had considerable income, but they could never manage to not slack off. Overtime work was a staple of their daily lives, and they could barely differentiate between work and personal time.

After working overtime, they would be completely exhausted. When they returned home, they felt hollowed out and only wanted to lay down and zone out, scrolling through their phones until the day ended.

They had only two states of existence: “Working” and “Temporarily not working.” They couldn’t call it a life.

However, after joining Dream Cloud, everything was different.

They worked for a very limited time each day and finished at 5 pm. After work, they still had plenty of energy and wanted to find something to do.

At first, naturally, they found it hard to adjust, but after a week, they all picked up their old hobbies and interests.

Some people started attending painting classes, and others began dating.

Some stopped eating at small roadside restaurants, instead learning to cook their own meals.

Some joined fishing groups, traveling with them on weekends to fish for fun, even if they often caught nothing.

For the first time, they realized that although Xiajing City was huge, it wasn’t always bustling with activity.

They discovered that they could also have their own lives in Xiajing City, and enjoy the beauty of life at a leisurely pace.

This made them passionate about life again, and this passion was reflected in their work as well.

Although the working hours were strictly six hours per day, when everyone maintained high concentration and enthusiasm, their efficiency was unbelievably high.

The more Lincoln urged them to finish work on time, the more motivated they became.

This was one of the key reasons for the rapid progress of “Assassins’ Alliance” development.

Seeing everyone brimming with confidence, Lincoln nodded in agreement.

He was pleased to see that these employees had greatly improved their morale since they first met.

“Lastly, I plan to leave some Easter eggs in the game world. If any of you want to leave Easter eggs as well, hurry up!”

“To be clear, don’t do anything too outrageous! Remember, our game is rated ’16+!’ Strip clubs, like we mentioned earlier, are out of the question!” “Since a strip club is out of the question, can we have a gay bar instead?” Lincoln glared wide-eyed at Fred, who had asked the question.

Well, buddy, are you planning on not keeping it a secret anymore?
