Chapter 1159 Release Date and Early Access Camp
Yunmeng's practice is to release new games directly within a week after releasing the trailer.
The trailer for "Homeward Bound" was released unexpectedly on Tuesday. If we had to wait seven days, it would be next Tuesday.
However, Ye Xiaohe always feels that it is not appropriate to release new games on working days.
In addition, she determined early on that the overlap of player types between "Homeward Bound" and "A Quiet Place" is very low, and they will not seriously compete for players. On the contrary, the completely opposite game temperament will bring players a unique and fresh experience.
So she set the release date for Saturday.
Anyway, the popularity has already set in, and the promotion is full, so we might as well launch it while the iron is hot!
But before that, she conducted a round of drawing lots.
There are not many people in the small team. Not counting Ye Xiaohe, who was temporarily borrowed to help by brushing his face, the number of people in the fixed development team of "Homeward Bound" is only 34.
Ye Xiaohe waved his little hand and said generously: "Everyone smokes as you like! Just leave one for me in the end!"
One by one, everyone quickly took out small balls from the box.
Finally, Ye Xiaohe looked at the 32 yellow balls and 1 blue ball in their hands, and looked at the lottery box in surprise.
There is one last ball left inside.
No need to ask, it must be blue.
She wordlessly took out the last blue ball, looked at the other unlucky guy, sighed and said, "Okay, let's go."
"Next, let's start preparing for the release of the game."
After saying that, Ye Xiaohe opened a portal and was about to leave the office.
"The game will be released in one hour. Where are you going now?" the deputy asked Ye Xiaohe.
Ye Xiaohe didn't stop at all, stepped directly into the portal and disappeared.
Before the portal disappeared, Ye Xiaohe's voice floated over from the other side: "Go and meet the princess!"
"Huh?" The deputy, who was also a girl, was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
The princess often comes to the company, and everyone has interacted with her more or less. She seems to be a very easy-going and friendly person, and she is not condescending.
"Speaking of an audience? Is that too exaggerated?"
The male colleague next to me was sober: "She is asking someone to broadcast it live."
"The princess leads the boss to live broadcast, which can at least increase the sales of the game by 10 million."
"Go to the game circle and ask about this effect. You'll find a lot of people who are willing to kowtow, let alone just say a few nice words."
The "kowtow ceremony" has long since disappeared, and now the formal "appreciation" ceremony is only a little more complicated.
But Ye Xiaohe doesn't even know these etiquette.
——She is just acting cute and pretending to be pitiful.
Considering that Shuihua was obsessed with reviewing in order to prepare for the college entrance examination, Ye Xiaohe "took advantage of the opportunity" and got better and better with the little princess. She pretended to be pitiful. As long as Lin You didn't interfere with it, the success rate was very high!

An hour later, "Homeward Bound" was officially released.
At this moment, the total pre-sale sales of "Homeward Bound" are: 43.66 million copies.
The current sales of "A Quiet Place" are: 102 million copies.
Yu Gu breathed a sigh of relief.
Haoxuanmei reached half of their sales before release.
As for what happens next...
Just let it happen!
Sales of "Homeward Bound" began to grow rapidly again.
The [Toxic Girl] figure is officially out of print.
[Huangliang Town] welcomes a large number of players.
——Compared to changing modes and starting over, everyone still tends to continue playing according to the progress of the trial.
Fans who were looking forward to the simultaneous launch of Little Princess are a little disappointed.
Because Zhu Cixia did not appear.
She had promised Ye Xiaohe, but she didn't want to steal the limelight and planned to play with Lin You again at night.
The current popularity is still for those anchors who make a career out of it.
Of course Ye Xiaohe has no objection.
——As long as Zhu Cixia is willing to live broadcast, Ye Xiaohe has no objection to anything she says.
Ye Xiaohe even pretended not to see Lin You beside him and invited the little princess to have a feast together at noon.
Her treat!
Zhu Cixia smiled and patted Lin You, who had a question mark on his face, and replied: "You guys have to work overtime on the game release, so let's wait for another day."
Ye Xiaohe gestured OK and left.
The little princess needs to feel uncomfortable about her promise.
——She had to endure it and wait until the live broadcast in the evening before she could play the new game.
Lin You smiled when he saw this and took her to a different place to watch the excitement.
The virtual world is so big, there is always no shortage of excitement.

Thanks to the humility of the little princess, the popularity of "Homeward Bound" on its release day was not concentrated.
Anchors from all walks of life successfully reaped the dividends of this round of popularity, and began to log on to the elevator in Huangliang Town with enthusiasm, heading to the next area——
[Empty rail platform].
Only Super Tomato was a bit hesitant.
He is still outside the sci-fi version of Chang'an City, thinking about how to break through the obstruction of the cybernetic police and law enforcement robots and sneak into the city!
If I go back, I will have to run for 30 hours next time. It would be a pity to miss the big action of the players!
After just a few chapters, the "Chang'an" series has already gained considerable fans, many of whom are looking forward to the new chapter of "Chang'an" even more than the new game "Homeward Bound"!
In the "Chang'an" section of Yunmeng Forum, a pinned post has been opened to facilitate everyone's communication.
The discussion group - [Xian Deng Camp], which can accommodate 5,000 people, has also quickly reached capacity.
A small thing can make a big difference. At this moment, after running all night, there are probably tens of thousands of players rushing here! Even one hundred thousand!
Most water friends suggested that he go back and play new games first:
"Go back and play "Homeward Bound". With such high popularity, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it."
"The first ones who come over are all cannon fodder. They will definitely not be able to get in. You can catch up if you finish playing "Homeward Bound" and then run over."
"Yes, let's look at other people's attempts first, and then we can summarize our experience!"
"How about you rush in first, then go in if it works, and if it doesn't work, play a new game."
…
Super Tomato thought for a while and said to the water friends: "I made a mistake."
"You shouldn't have chosen a dog."
"At that time, I just thought that the dog would be taller and have longer legs, so it would run faster. I didn't expect that when I arrived, I would have to find a way to pass through high walls and checkpoints."
"Cats should be much better at climbing walls and drilling holes than dogs."
The water friends responded one after another and advised him to go back.
But Super Tomato doesn't want to go on this trip in vain, nor does he want to die in vain.
He opened the [First Camp] discussion group and asked: "Is there anyone outside the checkpoint now who plans to go back and play Homecoming first?"
"Why did Eggplant say this?"
"There are no deserters in the camp first!"
"We don't like to hear such depressing words!"
…
A group of cosplay enthusiasts spoke up.
Super Tomato immediately changed his words:
"What I mean is: Is there anyone who chooses an image that is not conducive to wall climbing and infiltration, and plans to go back and change his appearance, but before leaving, he still wants to make a final contribution to the cause of entering the city?"
It sounds much better when said this way, and there are more responses:
"Me, me, me! I chose a husky. It runs very fast, but its target is very big!"
"If you say slow down for three seconds, I will die. Tell me, what do you need to do?"
"My wife asked me to play "Homeward Bound"... tell me what speed I need to do!"
…
Super Tomato expressed his speculation: "I was thinking that when we played "Pacific Rim", we were single-player, but when the fragments of time traveled and landed on Pandora, we would automatically enter the multiplayer game."
"So I want to do a test: let's gather a group of people and run in from the same location to see if we can see each other."
"If you can't, there's nothing to say."
"But if we can, we can regain our numerical advantage!"
"Once the human wave tactics can be implemented, entering the city will be just around the corner!"
