Rebirth of the Wild Age

After five years of hard work, Excalibur Network spent 480 million yuan to create an ancient Chinese mythological online game.

Shan Hai Jing: Searching Gods will start recruiting internal beta players from now on. If you find a bug, you will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan. If you make an excellent suggestion and get it accepted, you will be rewarded with 5,000 yuan.

Excalibur Network challenged Blizzard Entertainment, Shan Hai Jing Zhi Shen Ji vowed to compete with World of Warcraft!

Shan Hai Jing: Searching for the Gods has a strong creative team. Among the team of more than 300 people, there are five professors of history (archaeology), four experts in folklore (mythology), one Oscar winner for best original music, one Winner of Best Costume Design at the Golden Horse Awards.

Is Song Weiyang, the richest man in China, crazy? He actually spent 480 million to make a game!

...

Beginning in mid-June, reports about Shan Hai Jing suddenly flooded in. Newspapers, magazines, the Internet, and television, as long as there are texts, you can see news related to Shan Hai Jing.

In just half a month, tens of millions of yuan was spent on promotional expenses. Such an inhumane approach scared domestic friends and businessmen to tremble.

The so-called cost of 480 million is pure nonsense, not only including the initial publicity and promotion budget, but even the cost of setting up the server, even so, it is only about 300 million. And it’s not five years of hard work, from game project approval to beta testing, it’s only been 4 years. Of course, you can’t say that Excalibur is talking nonsense, because counting the closed beta, public beta, and launch, it’s just a little more than four years, and if you round it up, it’s five years.

No matter what, the publicity effect exploded anyway, because the production cost of 480 million yuan was too scary.

Online and offline, there is a lot of discussion about this

Song Weiyang has become the richest man, but he still thinks he doesn't make enough money, so he makes games to poison young people. This is the speech of those who hate online games.

Long live domestic games, kill pickle games, kill World of Warcraft! This is the speech of national online game activists.

Is Sou Shen Ji adapted into a game? Looking forward to it. This is a fan of Yehu under the tree.

What's wrong with 480 million? Use it to make games. There are still so many poor people in China, Song Weiyang should donate the money! This is the keyboard man's remarks.

I'm laughing to death, and I'm calling Blizzard. When Blizzard was making games, Excalibur couldn't even see a shadow. This broken game is not worthy of giving shoes to Warcraft. This is Blizzard's brainless fan.

Song Weiyang is a profiteer! It's a good game beta test, but why do you give priority to China computer and mobile phone users? Whoever is using China computer or mobile phone, please send us the product code, thank you! This is the hand party.

The beta testing of Shan Hai Jing has not officially started, and the game is already very popular. Agents from all over the country took the initiative to call and contact, hoping to obtain the agency rights of the game point card. Immediately, Shenjian Network stated that after the beta testing of Shan Hai Jing is completed, it will hold a national auction for point card agents.

Only 1,000 people participated in the beta test, but nearly 100,000 people signed up. This is the result of Excalibur Network's repeated emphasis on computer configuration.

Not to mention other configurations, 1g memory is a must, although 512 memory can also run, but it will definitely get stuck and quit Internet addiction. Many home computers in China still have a memory of 512m at present. Around 2000, 80% of the newly added computers have this configuration. Excalibur is reminding everyone that it is time to replace the computer.

There is also the graphics card. Currently, at least 30% of the computers in Internet cafes cannot run the Shan Hai Jing on their graphics cards. If this game becomes popular, it will definitely promote the upgrading of computers in Internet cafes in China, and it can be regarded as benefiting the majority of Internet users.

When Shi Yuzhu received the test invitation code, he was playing another game a3. The reason why he stopped playing and continued to play Legend was because Shi Yuzhu had already been blocked for two accounts. This guy wrote his own exclusive plug-in program, and it was a one-trick second boss type. It would be strange if he was not reported and banned!

In a fit of rage, Shi Yuzhu didn't bother to ask Song Weiyang to get his account back, so he took his girlfriend to play a3.

The price of point cards for this broken game is extremely expensive, of course Shi Yuzhu doesn't care about the money. The problem is that the number of people online is getting smaller and smaller, it is not as lively as Legend, and it always feels that it lacks due passion. People are so contradictory. There are too many players in Legend, and it is not easy to rob monsters, so Shi Yuzhu wrote a plug-in second boss. a3 is full of hacks inside and out, almost no one cares about it, and the monster hunting is not intense, but Shi Yuzhu finds it boring.

Baby, is the game installed? Shi Yuzhu called his girlfriend.

Shi Yuzhu and his girlfriend belonged to a long-distance relationship, and it was his girlfriend who took him to play games. According to Shi Yuzhu himself, another space-time Zhengtu decided to invest in the development of a game because he and his girlfriend couldn't find a game to play. Then, Journey came out, and Shi Yuzhu's girlfriend blew it.

Journey was created by Shi Yuzhu in October, when he hired Shanda's Age of Heroes development team. The Shanda of this time and space is still developing an online community, and the game Age of Heroes has not appeared, and I am afraid that Shi Yuzhu's Journey will not be born either.

Okay, I've been watching the computer. The girlfriend replied.

Shi Yuzhu is currently sitting in the office, and a power leveler next to him is playing Legend, and has already helped Shi Yuzhu upgrade his new account to level 30. There is also a man named Xie Ming, who is the real secretary of the game and is responsible for managing Shi Yuzhu's power leveling team (the two power leveling teams rotate to level up). If Shi Yuzhu wants to develop Zhengtu, Xie Ming will be transferred to the Zhengtu project team as the general manager, and he will reach the pinnacle of his life from then on. Another time and space is like this.

Xiao Xie and Xiao Liang also came to play Shan Hai Jing, this time I asked Song Weiyang for four invitation codes. Shi Yuzhu greeted.

The game secretary and power leveling immediately started to log in, quickly registered their respective accounts, and then watched the countdown screen of the test server opening.

Until 10 o'clock in the morning, the countdown finally turned to 00:00:00, and the three of them entered the character building interface with a single swipe.

Players can currently choose metal, wood, water, fire, and earth five clans. Each clan has its own talents and skills, and they are mutually reinforcing. In addition, the dragon family and the Jiuli family are gray and cannot be selected, and it is not known which version can be opened.

In addition, there are eight major professions to choose from: mage, swordsman, warrior, archer, pharmacist, shaman, beast master, and gu master.

After researching for a while, Shi Yuzhu called his girlfriend and asked, What family line and occupation did you choose?

Pharmacist, Fire Nation. The girlfriend said.

Shi Yuzhu dragged the mouse over: The pharmacist seems to be dedicated to recovering blood and mana for teammates, right? The wood tribe has the healing bonus of the pharmacist, and the water tribe focuses on returning mana to teammates.

My girlfriend said: A pharmacist can also specialize in using poison. I have studied it, and the pharmacists of the Shui and Fire tribes are very poisonous.

That's fine. Shi Yuzhu felt a headache. Because he likes to slash people directly when playing games, only warriors and swordsmen suit his appetite, but the gold and fire professions have attack bonuses, while the aquarium has life and mana recovery bonuses, it seems that choosing aquarium to slash people is not very good mighty.

Reluctantly, he chose an aquarium warrior, and Shi Yuzhu said to the two people around him: You choose a mage and a beast master. The beast master brings a pet to the front, and the mage hides in the back row to output.

After talking about Shi Yuzhu, he clicked to enter the game. He was born in a small village at the foot of Shizhe Mountain. There were small cursive characters written vertically from left to right on the screen: It's another two hundred and eighty miles north. It's called Shizhe Mountain. There is no vegetation on it. There are many Biyao. The water flows out of Yan, and the west flows into the river. There is a beast, whose shape is like a leopard, and its inscription is white. through.

It's so beautiful! The agent next to her suddenly exclaimed.

The game screen is indeed beautiful, although Shizhe Mountain is as recorded in Shan Hai Jing, there is no vegetation on the bare mountain. But under the setting sun, the mountain full of curly stones adds a bit of desolation and magnificence. Shi Yuzhu ran directly out of the village, and soon reached the small river named Mishui. The surface of the river was so sparkling that even the fish in the river could be seen.

The graphics of this game are even more beautiful than a3! Shi Yuzhu couldn't help being amazed. It was hard for him to imagine that domestic games could do this.

Zulong Studio is the development team of Perfect World. Under Song Weiyang's frenzied spending of money, their graphics are so exquisite that they are crazy. This game's graphics card requirements are even higher than World of Warcraft.

The game secretary Xie Ming couldn't help reminding: Boss, you haven't accepted the mission in the village yet.

Shi Yuzhu said, I'll just walk around casually.

Shi Yuzhu played with his girlfriend until noon, from Shizhe Mountain to Danxun Mountain, and finally went to Shizhe City, one of the big cities of the aquarium. The moment you enter the city, you feel like going back to ancient times, but because most of the stone buildings in the city are made of stone, it also has a European medieval feeling.

This game is great! Shi Yuzhu's girlfriend ran around the city, and when she saw a house, she would go inside it, as if she came here specially for tourism.

In the afternoon, Shi Yuzhu came to a certain place and subconsciously clicked on the npc with a yellow greeting, but the npc asked him to form a team of five. There were only four people on Shi Yuzhu's side, and he soon formed a group of individual guests, and then the screen reading began. They were the first team to play a five-player dungeon in the beta test server.

And Shi Yuzhu and the others successfully found a bug, the power leveling was stuck in the cracks of the rocks and couldn't get out, but they could keep using their skills to fight the boss, but the boss's skills could not cause damage to the power leveling.

It's a pity that PK can't explode equipment. This is the only thing Shi Yuzhu feels uncomfortable about. Other game content makes him feel perfect.
