Chapter 280 Game Public Beta

Chapter 280 Game Public Beta

A month later, the closed beta of the "Galaxy" virtual game began. The server is also set up and put into use, and the cloud engine is also started to be used.

This time the test is in the company, that is, all employees log in and conduct a test.

Although many employees participated in the development of this game, when they played it, they were all shocked and immersed in it.

"It's so fun, you can really do whatever you want."

"To be honest, when the boss asked us to develop this game, we thought we couldn't do it at all, but now we have done it. However, the fault-tolerant matrix server and cloud engine inside are not developed by us. It is behind the boss. Developed by the team, I wonder if these two servers can have millions of people online at the same time?"

"I don't know. Now we only have more than 500 people in this game, and we can't test it at all."

"Mr. Xiao, we have few people now, and we can't test whether the server can support tens of millions or even more people online at the same time. What should we do?" A technician asked Xiao Jun.

"You don't need to worry about this issue. You just need to conduct an internal test to see if the game is not smooth, and if there are any bugs in various maps and gameplay. As for the server, you don't need to worry about it." Xiao Jun waved his hands. Because the steward of the galaxy gave him a simulation test just now, the fault-tolerant matrix server and the cloud engine can allow 3 billion people around the world to be online at the same time. Don't worry about server problems at all!

"Okay, Mr. Xiao."

After the closed beta, the testers found that there were basically no major problems in the game, but there were some small bugs in some small places, so the technicians rushed to fix them. I believe it will not affect the general listing after 2 months.

Inside the office, Xiao Jun said to Chen Fan: "Manager Chen, I asked you to set up virtual gaming Internet cafes in major first-tier and second-tier cities across the country. How are they doing now?"

"Reporting to Mr. Xiao, most of the Internet cafes have reached the end of the decoration period. I believe that all of them can be completed in half a month. Once the decoration is completed, the virtual game equipment can be moved in and installed. At the same time, it can also be built. Network, hire network administrators..." Chen Fan reported.

"Well, that's good, by the way, you can recruit a group of employees in advance now, and this group of employees can be trained as backbones, because our virtual game is played differently, you can use this batch of backbones Carry out some training. When the Internet cafe opens, they will not be able to solve various problems." Xiao Jun ordered.

"Mr. Xiao, I've already started preparing for this matter." Chen Fan said respectfully.

"That's good. After one and a half months, our virtual game equipment will be fully launched, and in another half a month, the game will start public testing and a chain of Internet cafes will open!"

"Yes, Mr. Xiao."

One and a half months later, the game equipment of the "Galaxy" virtual game engine began to be sold online.

Such as virtual helmets, hosts, universal treadmills, tactile gloves, etc.

Xiao Jun currently only produced 200,000 sets.

However, on the day when these devices were launched, the sales volume was not very satisfactory, only a few thousand sets were sold.

Xiao Jun had expected this situation a long time ago, so he didn't really care about it.

First of all, the game has not yet been tested publicly, and outsiders still hold the attitude of watching this game, and do not know whether this game has such an explosive game world as advertised.

The most important thing is that it is expensive, close to 30,000 yuan, who would have the time to buy it?

The thousands of sets that were sold on the first day were basically bought by the rich second generation, either by rich people or by people who love games. Of course, a small number of people bought it with fresh energy.

After seeing this situation, many outsiders ridiculed each of them.

"Hehe, these devices sold thousands of units on the first day they were launched, and it is estimated that they will sell a few hundred units in the future. This game will be cold before the public beta."

"Yeah, not only the game is cold, but these devices are also cold. It is said that Galaxy Games has invested billions of dollars to produce these devices, and now it seems that it is going to lose money and die."

"Hehe, I have already said that the conditions for virtual games are not mature enough!"

Amidst the ridicule and doubts from the outside world, Galaxy Games announced that it will announce the public beta half a month later. At the same time, all the Galaxy virtual game Internet cafes in the national chain will go online. This time, the public beta period will be ten days. listing! During the ten-day public beta period, all virtual game chain Internet cafes are free to play. No money required!

The announcement of the public beta this time, and the general listing immediately after the public beta, surprised many people.

This is a brand new online game mode!

However, many people think that it may be the so-called online method of virtual games, right?

Half a month later, the "Galaxy" virtual game officially opened for public testing across the country. At the same time, the virtual game chain Internet cafes in first- and second-tier cities also opened at 9:00 am on this day.

At this moment, there is a big sign at the door of every Internet cafe.

It reads: "Galaxy" virtual game is fully open beta, all players are welcome to come and try it, this Internet cafe will be online for free within ten days!

Of course, the official website of Galaxy Games also announced the news of the public beta. Among the 200 million that was dropped before, the follow-up is also announced today's public beta, and the virtual game chain Internet cafes will be online for free for the first ten days.

In the bustling area of ​​the capital, there is a newly opened Internet cafe, but this one is different from other Internet cafes. Its decoration is not only fashionable and avant-garde, but also the signboard at the entrance is very eye-catching.

It reads: Galaxy Virtual Game Internet Cafe.

As a result, the pedestrians passing by all looked sideways. Of course, most of them were young people. Of course, those kind of uncles and aunts would not take a look.

"Virtual game Internet cafe? When did virtual game open an Internet cafe these days? Is it so awesome?"

"Hey, isn't this the "Galaxy" virtual game that was hotly discussed before? It is said that the promotional video is very explosive, and I watched it too. It is indeed awesome, but I don't know if it is so explosive in the game."

"Go in and have a look?"

"Forget it, I guess the experience is expensive?"

"You're stupid, didn't you see the sign on the door of the Internet cafe, public beta for the first ten days, Internet access is free? Come on, go in and have a look, take a look."

At the entrance of the Internet cafe, four young people passed by. They are all students from a nearby university. Today is Saturday and there is no class, so they came out for a stroll.

"Fuck, free Internet access? Free experience? You must go in and have a look!" Chen Shiyong shouted. Free stuff is always so attractive.

So Chen Shiyong and his three classmates walked in without hesitation.

After entering, they found that the people inside were stylishly decorated and had a lot of space. There are not many people inside, only a few dozen people are playing.

"Hey, this virtual game Internet cafe is really different. There are no computer desks and chairs, but only a rest area!" Chen Shiyong looked around and found that the design of this virtual game Internet cafe is really different.

"Are those the hardware of the virtual game?" Wang Meng pointed to those who were on the computer.

I saw these people standing one by one on a treadmill, but the treadmill did not have an upper handrail, and they wore something like a safety belt around their waists. Behind the safety belt was an instrument similar to measuring height. . Wearing virtual helmets and fashionable first suits in their hands, they are moving back and forth on the universal treadmill.

From time to time, someone yelled, some excitedly, some in surprise, and some out of fear. Clearly they are experiencing the game! I don't know what happened inside, I was yelling.

"It looks great, doesn't it?"

"Well, unlike the current traditional virtual games, there are more tactile gloves and universal treadmills here, and the virtual helmet is also very delicate..."

"Excuse me, are the four handsome guys here to experience the "Galaxy" virtual game for free?" At this time, a network administrator girl came over and asked sweetly.

"Uh, yes. Is it free?" Chen Shiyong asked.

"Yes, today is the opening of the Internet cafe, and it will be free for the next ten days. Of course, you can also apply for a card in advance. We have platinum membership cards, ordinary membership cards and temporary Internet access cards here. Platinum membership cards only need to recharge 1000 Yuan can be processed immediately, and there are 1,000 yuan in the card. When surfing the Internet, it is 25 yuan an hour. If you want to apply for an ordinary membership card, you only need to recharge 500 yuan. When you go online, it is 27 yuan an hour. If It's a temporary card, 30 yuan per hour for surfing the Internet!"

"Damn it, 30 yuan? It's so expensive!"

"Even if you apply for a platinum card, it costs 25 yuan per hour? It's too expensive." They all know that in general Internet cafes, an hour is about 5 yuan, and some game VIP areas may be 8 yuan or 10 yuan. But it won't be that expensive either.

"That girl, we are not going to handle it yet, we just want to experience it first." Chen Shiyong touched his nose. He has never encountered an Internet cafe like this before, and the charges are too expensive.

"Yes, this way please." The network management girl brought four people to a place, and there happened to be four connected here, and no one came on.

The girls help turn on the devices and teach them how to wear them.

"Put on the seat belt first, then put on the tactile gloves, and then put on the virtual helmet. Well, you guys try running back and forth, left and right on this universal treadmill."

Several people began to dress up according to the sister's teaching.

"How about it, is it okay to run?" the network administrator asked.

"no problem."

"Okay, you have entered the login interface of the game, you can register an account first, your touch gloves can touch, slide the interface, you can also handwrite, you can also type pinyin, Wubi, etc... you can also voice input, Voice operation..."

"Registration is complete." Everyone helped for more than ten minutes, and the registration was finally completed.

"Okay, after registration, you can go in and play. Let me introduce you first. After entering, there are two big maps and a small map. The big map is the earth and the solar system, and the small map is the alien domain. You can do whatever you want in it. By the way, there is a novice guide in it, you can take a look. If there is nothing else, I will be busy first, and you can call me later if you have anything to do."

"OK, thanks."

After everyone entered, they appeared in a separate room.

They all began to read the beginner's guide one by one.

"In the map of the earth, you can play whatever you want! You only need to call out the location where you want to go, and you can appear there."

"In the solar system map, you can..."

"Where you are fighting, you can go to the Galaxy Front to fight aliens..."

"You can also go on adventures in the Tower of Adventures to spawn monsters and upgrade equipment..."

"You can do your own research..."

"You can pick up girls and make friends..."

"Damn it, you can do whatever you want?" Chen Shiyong exclaimed.

"Where do we go now?"

"Aren't we shouting all day long that we have no money to travel? How about we go surfing in Hawaii first?"

"Let's go!"

"Go to Hawaii!"

In an instant, everyone found themselves in a bustling beach.

"Damn it, bikini, beauty..."

"Golden sand beach…"

"Look, you can play surfing, yachting, and skydiving..."

"What a realistic picture!"

"I feel like I'm in Hawaii..."

"I can't tell that this is a virtual world at all, it's so awesome."

The four of them were instantly stunned.

When they start surfing, it feels like real surfing.

They played for five hours at a time. They didn't stop until their stomachs growled. They didn't leave the Internet cafe when they stopped. Instead, they ordered a takeaway to eat and continued to play.

"Hey, when we came in, there were only dozens of people playing here, and now most of the machines are full!"

"Hey, do you need to say more? This is a free experience, no money, of course it is attractive. Besides, this game is really fun, I think this is the experience of a mature virtual game."

"I was skiing in the Alps just now, tsk tsk tsk, it's cool."

"I went diving just now. I dived to a depth of 10,000 meters and almost died."

Chen Shiyong and others chatted while eating, drooling wildly.

"Hehe, you guys are still playing this kind of low-level stuff. Do you want to see aliens? Do you want to fight with aliens? Do you want to machine armor? Do you want to bombard with super-powerful electromagnetic cannons Those bloody aliens?"

"Do you want to try tower brush equipment?"

"Do you want to PK with others?"

In the rest area, there happened to be a few people eating takeaways next to them. When they heard what Chen Shiyong and the others were talking about, they all curled their lips in disdain. What's the fun in that? Might as well kill aliens for fun. The machine armor, it feels like driving the real thing, it's so exciting.
