Chapter 101: Screenshot Function Gets Good Reviews
The forum was unprecedentedly lively. If the previous liveliness was a kind of false prosperity, consisting more of 200 closed-beta players amusing themselves, then now it was a paradise of joy for 800 players.
A large number of "cloud players" finally saw the true face of this game. After Chen Zhi opened up the screenshot and video functions, nearly ten thousand images had been exposed on the forum.
The in-game scenery was finally displayed before everyone. The players had previously said that everything in this game felt real, and now there was finally an intuitive output to prove it.
Chen Zhi hadn't been idle all morning; he had been working on moderation until he felt his head aching, and only then did he stop.
These players were so eager they wanted to record every single frame, which greatly increased his workload.
This was only eight hundred people; Chen Zhi couldn't even imagine what it would be like if there were more.
So he sent a message directly to Laoliu, telling him to hire a dozen or so forum moderators.
After solving this major problem, he finally had the leisure to check the situation on the forum.
Due to the game's restrictions, most players played at night, so the forum only became active during the day.
After a morning of fermentation, there were suddenly fifty thousand new IPs on the forum. If it weren't linked to Chen Zhi's end, it probably would have needed server expansion long ago.
To cope with the players' demand for posting photos, Chen Zhi specifically expanded a personal homepage feature. This thing had long been obsolete on the internet; it was only on Chen Zhi's forum that it counted as a relatively useful function.
Almost every test player's personal homepage had thousands of views, which was enough to show how popular the forum was at this moment.
Gu Fang: When exactly will this game open for closed beta? I can't wait anymore. Official, start making the Helmet!
You'eryuan: Look at what I shot 【Image】
Tuorsuo to You'eryuan: That's enough, isn't it? Isn't it just that you managed to photograph Saina? Is it really necessary?
You'eryuan: I have more here! 【Image】
Yezi to You'eryuan: What on earth did you go do? Why did you even photograph me?
You'eryuan: Of course it's not just Yezi... 【Image】 【Image】 【Image】
Ai Ai Who Can Draw to You'eryuan: Are you some kind of pervert? Why are you photographing so many noble young ladies for no reason?
You'eryuan: I'm not a pervert, and guess what I discovered! The current captain of the Wealth Church is actually an old acquaintance! 【Image】
The players' communication was indeed one step ahead. Chen Zhi felt very shocked after seeing that image.
The current captain of the Wealth Church in Tana City was actually Sarana Brown.
This person, who had still been a wanted apostate half a month ago, had replaced the captain who captured her just half a month later and become the head of the Wealth Church in Tana City.
Chen Zhi didn't even believe it when he said it out loud.
After all, the other party was a recipient of an A-Grade Wanted Order. Although it was a secret within the Wealth Church, she had been wanted after all.
Yunxiao, who knew the issue, came out to explain.
Yunxiao: I was even called in for questioning today. Sarana was indeed wanted, but she wasn't an apostate, and she had already explained things clearly to the Holy See. However, I think it might still be because her father is the Member of the Lower House Vittel Brown. In short, this young lady is now my direct superior.
Luoye Tingqiu to Yunxiao: She looks quite pretty. Once I have a Helmet, I'll come join you.
Luolita to Luoye Tingqiu: Don't you already have one?
Luoye Tingqiu to Luolita: This... it has already been taken by my grandfather.
Luolita: So your grandfather is playing the game now?
Huoyun Entertainment to Luoye Tingqiu: May I ask how old your grandfather is?
Luoye Tingqiu to Huoyun Entertainment: He's only 71.
Huoyun Entertainment: I think I've found tomorrow's headline @Huiwan Entertainment
That there would be a 71-year-old playing the game was indeed something Chen Zhi couldn't have imagined. But thinking about it carefully, this game was equivalent to giving the elderly a second life; even a disabled person could experience a new life.
After all, the bodies he created were all very healthy, and even had better physical fitness than the average person.
Moreover, they had quite a few advantages in resisting Transcendental Power; for example, these bodies could directly absorb a portion of Transcendental Power, since they were all flesh that had fallen off from himself.
After looking at the forum, Chen Zhi went to check social media platforms.
Although his game was somewhat popular, it was still not enough to be seen on social media platforms. After all, games that couldn't be played in fragmented time these days really couldn't spark discussion, and most game companies had abandoned PC games, let alone a game that required purchasing a Helmet.
It was just that the image quality inside was impeccable; the content from the screenshots alone was enough to "paint a big picture" for the players.
What made Chen Zhi angry was that what gave his game popularity wasn't the gaming platform, but travel bloggers...
Many bloggers, upon seeing the scenery of Tana City, were looking forward to one day being able to go and see it.
In the company group, quite a few "idle" people were also scrolling through social media at this time, and they were all in the same speechless state as Chen Zhi.
Without game platform promotions like S or W, this epoch-making game had few people asking about it to begin with.
The visuals that he thought would go viral became the darlings of travel bloggers because they were mistaken for real-world scenes.
Instead, no one cared about the game itself.
New Calamity didn't even deserve to have its name mentioned.
It made sense; the name of this game didn't sound like it could be a hit, but rather like some warmed-over game.
Laoliu: @Boss Chen, do you think we should find media platforms to promote it more?
Luo Jiahua: @Boss Chen, should we talk about cooperation with gaming platforms?
Chen Zhi: No need. For now, let's prioritize game testing. Good Wine doesn't fear a deep alley, and haven't there already been game entertainment companies and such coming to play?
Laoliu: @Boss Chen, can we enable a live streaming function in the game? I think if this game were live-streamed, it would definitely...
Chen Zhi: @All Members, the game cannot be live-streamed, especially since certain scenes are not suitable for live streaming.
Thinking of those bloody scenes, he had edited them out bit by bit, having already removed the vast majority of scenes that couldn't be shown.
If it were really live-streamed, the game would be the first to be banned, and he could forget about making money.
Fortunately, the players' reactions were decent. Perhaps because it wasn't their own brains to begin with, even when players went back, their memories of the scenes in the game were blurry.
Otherwise, the newly released screenshot function wouldn't have received such high praise.
After all, isn't it normal to be able to take screenshots in a game?
