Almighty Video Game Designer - Chapter 311

Chapter 311: Chapter 310-possessed by the God of bad luck

It was February 14th, the day of suffering for single people.

A whole week after League of Legends was released, it had maintained a strong growth momentum, and the daily active players had successfully broken the one million mark.

With multiple marketing strategies, League of Legends had expanded to more and more players who had never touched RTS games or cogs. Besides, internet cafe promotions and friend invitations had become important ways to attract new players.

On the third day after going online, Chen Mo released the events related to the Valentine’s Day event on the in-game event page, which the players couldn’t wait to see.

The main selling point of this Valentine’s Day event was still the [Heart Hunter] Vayne skin. If they missed this week’s event, they would have to wait until next year to buy this skin.

In addition, there were also corresponding active tasks. When forming a team to complete a game, they would receive gold coins, head portrait boxes, experience cards, and other rewards. These were all important means to stimulate the further expansion of the player group.

It could be imagined that if girls played League of Legends, their boyfriends would have a high chance of being led into the pit. If the boys played League of Legends, their girlfriends would also have a small chance of being tricked.

Many players logged into the game to participate in activities on Valentine’s Day. They could even occasionally meet couples in major internet cafes.

……

At Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s headquarters, Jin jieguang’s face was dark. It wasn’t because he was single, but because the first day statistics of COG were released after the open beta testing yesterday.

…

Although the game received a lot of good reviews after it was released, with a rating of about 8.8, which gave Jin jieguang some hope, the statistics on the first day poured a bucket of cold water on him.

There were 330000 players who logged in on the first day, but only 43% remained on the next day.

If it was a mobile game, the tomorrow’s retention rate would be pretty good. However, this was a PC game, and a free competitive game at that. The terrible tomorrow’s retention rate could only be described with one word: Fail.

With such a day-to-day retention rate, it was difficult to maintain the fairness of the matchmaking system, let alone become popular. Even with Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s strong marketing capabilities, it was difficult to promote the game.

The data was a little too unsightly, so much so that Jin jieguang didn’t know how to explain it to Lin chaoxu.

However, Jin jieguang also had a vague feeling that one of the important reasons why COG was more like an RTS game compared to League of Legends was that it was more like an RTS game. However, Jin jieguang couldn’t be sure without the corresponding data.

Lin chaoxu was relatively calm after learning about this number. He asked Jin jieguang to check the background data to see which game node had the most players lost. At the same time, he would make a detailed survey and send it to the players who had lost their jobs in COG to do a detailed survey.

……

While Emperor dynasty entertainment was busy collecting feedback on their cogs, the Valentine’s Day event in League of Legends continued to be popular.

On Valentine’s Day, there were 330000 people online at the same time in League of Legends. Considering that it was the first day of Valentine’s Day, many couples were busy with other things, and there was still room for this number to increase.

However, this number was enough to highlight the popularity of the game.

In the experience store.

Chen Zhao was hesitating.

There was a new item on the virtual screen of the bracelet: Chen Mo had gotten the good luck generator a few days ago. There were ten of them in total, and they were extremely powerful.

[Good luck generator: a magical device that can bring you good luck in most situations. After use, there is a 50% chance of obtaining good or bad luck. Lasts for one day. [If you obtain bad luck, you can turn it into good luck by completing the mission.]

From the description of the device, it felt like a device that would definitely make a profit.

Chen Mo had already tried it once before, and he got good luck immediately after using the good luck generator. Chen Mo “coincidentally” opened his phone to check Weibo and “coincidentally” saw Jin jieguang’s post in the discovery section, and “coincidentally” saw his verification information and the selfie he took at the experience store.

Otherwise, Chen Mo wouldn’t have gone to the first floor of the experience store to trick him.

Chen Mo wanted to try it again after the first time, but it had a cooldown time and couldn’t be used too often.

Today was February 14th, and the cool down time of the item was over.

“Ah, if only this was a peach blossom luck generator. After using it, a cold Heavenly Queen with the surname Zhang would come knocking on your door after drinking too much, or an unknown beauty with the surname Wu would suddenly send you a bunch of art photos and selfies. ” Chen Zhao said emotionally.

Putting away those unrealistic fantasies, Chen Zhao used another good luck generator.

However, this time, the good luck icon that looked very comfortable did not appear. After the smoke effect, a bad luck icon that said “possessed by the God of bad luck” appeared.

[Possessed by jinx: your luck has dropped to a negative number. It’s a piece of cake for you to eat instant noodles without seasoning packets.]

“F * ck!”

Chen Mo was dumbfounded. It was really a 50% chance. He was lucky last time and now he was unlucky this time?

Moreover, if eating instant noodles without seasoning packets was considered a small matter, then what would be a medium matter?

Chen Mo panicked a little. It wouldn’t have been a big deal if it was some other time, he could’ve just stayed at home and choked on his saliva or fell on the ground in the experience store, but this was a crucial time for League of Legends!

What if there was a serious BUG in the game? Was there some strange fluctuation in the server? Or perhaps some players would kill their teammates and cause big news?

This was completely unacceptable to Chen Zhao!

“Didn’t you say that you could turn your luck around by completing missions? where are the missions?”

Chen Mo quickly looked at the screen on his bracelet and saw that a mission had appeared behind the [possession by jinx] icon.

[System mission (1/5): arrive at the hall on the first floor of the experience store. [Time limit: 20 minutes]

“Just this? Isn’t this too simple?” Chen Mo let out a long breath,”I knew it, the system still loves me. How could it trick me?”

Chen Mo walked out of his office and pushed the door open.

“Oh,” “Kada.”

The door could not be pushed open.

Chen Mo: “???”

What the f * ck was this?

Chen Mo’s studio was in the same area as his living quarters, with a security door next to the experience store.

The anti-theft door was a high-tech product that could be unlocked with a password and fingerprint. Chen Mo didn’t think much about it when he installed it. He just thought it looked good and had no problems with it after using it for so long.

But today, he couldn’t open it.

The door was supposed to be unlocked with a fingerprint and password on the outside, but there was a special door button on the inside. However, the door button seemed to be broken at the right time, and there was no response after pressing it.

F * ck, it’s starting already?
