Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Dream Cloud Studio

Translator: 549690339

Early that morning, Lincoln got up to register his studio.

Before leaving, he remembered Lorin’s words from the Top-secret Patent Technology Bureau and gave him a call as well.

Then Lincoln experienced what it meant to have connections and what it meant to have a dedicated green fast-track for top talents.

Throughout the process, he didn’t have to wait at all, as the staff guided him through the entire procedure.

He even felt like everything had been sorted out before he could really understand the process.

The interest-free loan from Xiajing Bank would also be credited in the afternoon, and even Lincoln, who didn’t know much about bank loan business, thought this speed was outrageous.

It might take several lifetimes for ordinary people to make that kind of money. No matter how you think about it, it should be a very long process.

But for him, it was just a matter of opening his mouth and others took care of everything.

“Science and technology are indeed the primary productive forces!”

After sighing, Lincoln took out his mobile phone and started operating.

First, he modified his Spiritual Rhinoceros profile by adding his studio’s name.

Cloud Dream Studio.

That’s the name he finally chose for his gaming studio.

It carries the historical atmosphere of the ancient Cloud Dream Lake and the beautiful fantasy of modern Cloud Dreamland.

In the end, it was also a tribute to the first time he met Mavis on a spaceship in the sea of Clouds.

“Perfect!”

Next, he released the trial version of “Traveler of the Wind” that was compatible with multiple versions. Although it only had the first two levels, it could at least divert the players’ attention instead of staring at him all the time.

Setting up tents in the city – that’s crazy. It’s not like it’s a new console release where you need to rush to buy.

Besides, when the real sale happens, it’ll be directly online. All you need is luck and fast hands. Everything else is useless.

These people were indeed passionate, but overly passionate players might not necessarily be good players.

Take Ma Lian who charged at Lincoln’s house a few days ago as an example. Isn’t he passionate enough?

And what’s the result?

Apart from dragging NetDragon into the whirlpool of hatred, it was completely useless, and it also landed him in Lincoln’s little book.

Who knows if the kid has any regrets now?

But whether he regrets it or not, Lincoln doesn’t care. He leaves those thoughts behind and gets in the car driven by Yue Pengju, happily going out to practice shooting.

No, it’s actually a happy outing to collect materials.

As he had expected, players no longer had the heart to pay attention to him.

When a big influencer with 20 million fans on Spiritual Rhinoceros released a major post, it naturally surged to the top of the hot searches without a doubt.

The players who had gathered outside Lincoln’s residential area immediately scattered, the tents emptied, and they all rushed back home to log onto the official website – Cloud Dream Net, which he and Mavis had set up the night before — to download the trial version of the game.

Yes, when it comes to the site going live overnight, we have to mention again — the dedicated green fast-track for top talents; those who use it know it!

Everyone loves fresh traffic, and countless game streamers naturally download and enter the game as soon as possible, striving to grab as much traffic as possible.

After all, it’s a workday morning, and not all players have the time to download and play right away.

But they really don’t want to miss out on the first-hand information, so watching live streams while slacking off at work becomes the best choice.

For slow-responding anchors, it’s already too late when they realize the heat in their live broadcast rooms is dropping rapidly.

Of course, Camille Victoria’s live broadcast room is an exception; she’s still leisurely downloading the game, and she’s only downloading the personal computer version, so she can’t compete with big streamers who have full VR equipment sets.

But the number of people in her live broadcast room did not decrease, and even continued to grow.

It’s because Camille Victoria had the chance to experience the virtual reality version of “Traveler of the Wind” yesterday, which was extremely attractive to the audience!

So even though she had already exhausted all the beautiful words she could think of without giving away any spoilers, and now had nothing more to say, there were still many people squatting in her live broadcast room.

“Game Base” also worked overnight last night to release a preliminary evaluation of the game early this morning.

Since they couldn’t give away any spoilers, they had to beat around the bush and talk about some irrelevant things.

In this manuscript, “Game Base,” which has always adhered to the principles of being serious, objective, and comprehensive, unusually used a large number of adjectives such as “epoch-making, milestone, unprecedented, incomparable” in the article.

They praised “Traveler of the Wind” to the skies.

Many players believe that much of this praise comes from the “extra points” given to “the first virtual reality game,” but their expectations were still very high.

Not only players, but most game developers in the industry also downloaded the game at the first opportunity.

Their mentality was not as relaxed as that of the players. It’s because they all knew that they would face severe tests: the birth of new game forms would inevitably have severe impacts on existing game forms.

Especially this time, as it was such a leapfrogging development, it was even more of a dimensional attack.

Therefore, most of them took it very seriously.

But if you say the situation is earth-shattering, it’s not that bad either.

At the end of the day, the special social environment led to the impact of the high-speed development of the industry’s deformity.

In the eyes of gaming industry workers, changes in game forms, especially the upgrading and iteration of game devices, are not really new.

From 16 -bit and 32-bit machines that only existed in laboratories to the commercialized 64-bit machines, followed by the rapid iteration of the second, third, and fourth generations. Which one isn’t a huge hardware upgrade?

What about keyboard and mouse games compared to controller games? Isn’t that a significant change in form?

Not to mention the head-mounted curved display, controller, and omnidirectional treadmill, which together form a complete VR gaming device. Isn’t its immersive experience a dimensional attack on personal computers and gaming consoles?

What was the result? The impact on the market was indeed not small, but to say that the original game forms were devastated?

That would be an exaggeration.

They instinctively felt that it would be another impact, another form of gaming appearance.

After all, there have been incidents proving this point again and again, haven’t there?

So they took it seriously, but they didn’t see it as a life and death enemy. They just wanted to see what kind of game Lincoln had made so they could get a glimpse of the kind of virtual reality games that might emerge.

However, NetDragon is different.

“Forget about the experience, forget about the past, this is a life and death situation! It must be banned!”

Under Gary’s helpless gaze, the boss and the executives quickly reached a consensus. All the game devices produced by NetDragon, whether it is the latest Flying Dragon Series VR Device or the previous generation of console controllers that are still being updated, would refuse to install and run “Traveler of the Wind.”

Some players who had just entered the game using NetDragon’s equipment were kicked off the line after only taking a quick look around.

Then they saw a prompt pop up on their device: “Unknown software project detected, which may threaten the safety of the device. It has been terminated.” Then they couldn’t open it again.

As for the players who were a little slow and hadn’t had time to install, they couldn’t even install it now.

These players looked at each other with question marks on their faces.

What’s going on? A threat to the device’s safety?

Did Lincoln send us a software virus?
