Chapter 663

.

Jingya Court. Shi Lei confirmed that Dream Entertainment was developing a first-person shooter game. He immediately started working on the graphics processing workstation next to him to create a promotional cover for the first-person shooter game.

Shi Lei planned to name Dream Entertainment's second game 'Doomsday War'. It was a first-person shooter game similar to Crossing the Line of Fire, but without the limitations of Crossing the Line of Fire. There would be no regional servers, zones, or rooms. Instead, he planned to create an open world similar to the Hero's World.

The historical setting of Doomsday War would be the near future. It would be a world after the biochemical virus and nuclear war. The surviving humans were struggling at death's door in a small number of survivor bases.

Outside the survivor bases, there would be a large number of zombies, mutated monsters, and even some giant beasts. The surviving humans would have to fight these monsters for survival resources and prevent the survivors' bases from being destroyed by the monsters.

Compared to the Hero's World, Doomsday War was easier to operate. In terms of cultural background, it was more easily accepted by the world.

The biochemical virus and nuclear war theme was popular all over the world. It was unlike the wuxia genre, which was not as widely recognized in the world. The problem of limitations was very serious. The biggest market was the Xia Continent itself, and the wider market was Southeast Asia.

Thinking about the Resident Evil movies and the huge number of fans around the world, one could imagine how many Resident Evil fans there were in the world.

Shi Lei could no longer predict how popular Doomsday War would be after it was released. The only thing he was sure of was that Doomsday War would be able to kill Crossing the Line of Fire instantly.

At the same time, Doomsday War would surpass the Hero's World without a doubt!

This was what Shi Lei was worried about in the beginning. He was worried that Dream Entertainment's game would become homogenous and compete with each other for a share of the players. However, Shi Lei had already thought it through. The Hero's World had its advantages, and Doomsday War had its advantages. Their player base would not overlap.

Even if homogenization happened, it would develop in a good direction. Players would experience two completely different games and ultimately choose the one they liked more as the main entertainment battlefield.

Shi Lei spent the entire afternoon creating an exquisite 8D model of Doomsday War's promotional cover. Shi Lei ordered Izur to project the cover of Doomsday War on the projector. He looked at it carefully.

A decaying city was depicted on the cover of the 8D model. There were broken walls everywhere in the city, and weeds and small trees grew between the buildings.

A muscular young man was standing on the roof of a dilapidated building. He was wearing black tights and goggles. He carried a sci-fi sniper rifle on his back, a silenced carbine in his right hand, and two pistols and a tactical dagger on his waist.

In front of the man, on the roof of a slightly lower building, some zombies in ragged clothes were reaching their hands towards the man, opening their mouths and roaring silently.

The man looked into the distant sky. In the sky, there was a huge bird. On the top of the bird's head, there were two horns. It looked extremely strange, but it was filled with an evil beauty. It was obviously a mutated vicious bird!

At the bottom of the cover, there was a label in both Xia Xia and English: "Doomsday War." Below it were the logos of Dream Entertainment, Fantasy Technology, and Painting Deity Company. The logos of the three companies represented that Doomsday War was jointly developed by the three parties.

Shi Lei admired his masterpiece with satisfaction. In addition to his expertise in hacking, Shi Lei also had deep attainments in graphics processing technology.

If Shi Lei lost his hacking skills one day, he would be able to do well with his graphics processing skills alone. Shi Lei would be able to do well.

"Izur, check how many people are online in the Hero's World?" Shi Lei asked.

"Sir, there are currently 06,777 players online in the Hero's World. There are less than a thousand offline players." Izur quickly replied.

As the main system of the Hero's World, Izur was always aware of the situation in the Hero's World.

"Izur, send a message to all players online about Doomsday War. Inform them that the second Hero's World is officially in development. It will be available to players by December 86, 7552." Shi Lei said with a smile.

In the Hero's World, more than fifty thousand players were playing their own games. They suddenly received a notification from the main system that Dream Entertainment was about to develop a second Hero's World. This notification attracted the attention of many beta testers. They temporarily logged out of the game and entered the Hero's World's official website to check out the specific information.

Shi Lei also updated the official website and updated the information about Doomsday War on the homepage of the Dream Entertainment's official website.

The Dream Entertainment's official website had more than three million unique IP visitors per day. This meant that at least three million players would visit the Dream Entertainment's official website at least once a day.

After the announcement of Doomsday War was released, it was quickly spread by a large number of players. Then, more and more players logged onto the Dream Entertainment's official website to check out the situation.

The official introduction of Doomsday War was very short. It only had one simple sentence.

"7500, after the nuclear war, the biochemical virus ran rampant, and the fate of mankind was uncertain …"

The short introduction and the exquisite cover filled the players' imaginations. Especially the cover, the main character was armed from head to toe. This made some gun enthusiasts very excited.

After the announcement of Doomsday War, the Dream Entertainment's official forum underwent a small revision. The official forum was divided into two sections, the Hero's World forum and the Doomsday War forum.

The two forums were only different sections. Players could use their accounts. The Dream Entertainment's official forum adopted a system that was similar to the Hero's World. It allowed players to repeat their nicknames and differentiate them by number.

The Dream Entertainment's official forum had more than four million registered players. If they didn't allow repeat nicknames, the players would have to rack their brains just to come up with a single nickname.

The Doomsday War forum had only been open for a few minutes, but there were already more than ten thousand posts. However, most of the posts were just empty posts and didn't have any real meaning.

A famous player, One Thought to Become Demon Lord, No Regrets, posted a reference post on the Doomsday War forum.

…

"Doomsday War VS Crossing the Line of Fire?"

Doomsday War was Dream Entertainment's second game that used sensory controls. Based on the analysis of Doomsday War's promotional cover, it should be a shooting game.

Based on the analysis of the game style, shooting games were more suitable for using sensory controls. At the same time, Dream Entertainment announced that they were going to develop a shooting game when the Hero's World was still in closed beta. This was probably aimed at the penguin's Crossing the Line of Fire.

According to some rumors, the average number of online players in Crossing the Line of Fire reached two hundred thousand. This result far surpassed the Hero's World, reaching four times the record.

However, the World of Heroes is currently in a restricted beta stage. There are only around 05,555 players who have the qualifications to be beta testers. Through analyzing the World of Heroes forum accounts, we can get a rough answer. The number of registered players in the World of Heroes is around 8,055,555 to 9,555,555. This number is even higher than Transmigration Frontline.

The only question left was whether the number of online players in the Hero's World could surpass the record set by Crossing the Line of Fire.

I have no responsibility for predicting that the number of online players in the Hero's World would reach 6.0 million to 7 million, which would also beat Crossing the Line of Fire.

This time, Dream Entertainment announced that they were going to develop Doomsday War. I have no responsibility for predicting that once Doomsday War was released, the players in Crossing the Line of Fire would be completely absorbed by Doomsday War with the help of the sensory controls and the excellent services provided by Dream Entertainment.

I have to say that the penguin's shameless promotion of Crossing the Line of Fire might have angered the higher-ups of Dream Entertainment, causing them to decide to develop Doomsday War.

As for whether Doomsday War or the Hero's World is more fun, I can't comment because I haven't played either game.

However, if I had the choice, I might try both games and play whatever I like. Regardless, I will support Dream Entertainment's sensory controls and won't play a boring game like Crossing the Line of Fire.

Notice: The above opinions are personal. If you don't like them, please ignore them!

…

The post "Become the Demon Lord with No Regrets" received a lot of support and responses from players. Many fans of Dream Entertainment mocked the penguin company in their posts. They all thought that Dream Entertainment was taking revenge on the penguin company.

The penguin company had become the dominant player in the online world. Many players were unhappy with the penguin company. Dream Entertainment stood out to challenge the penguin company and received the support of many players.

However, what made the players unhappy was the release date of Doomsday War. According to Dream Entertainment, it would be released by December 86st at the end of the year at the latest.

Dream Entertainment didn't have the habit of skipping tickets like Glass Company. They had even announced it in advance. However, Dream Entertainment wasn't as close to the people as Glass Company. Dream Entertainment's closed beta was mostly prepared for the rich players.

Therefore, if normal players wanted to try Doomsday War, they would have to wait until at least 7553!

However, judging from the performance of the Hero's World, Doomsday War was worth the wait. Especially the gun enthusiasts. They all shouted on the Doomsday War forum, saying that they wanted to abandon Crossing the Line of Fire and join Doomsday War.

Some players who didn't like the Hero's World started to consider whether they should enter the Hero's World first and try out the so-called sensory controls. This was to prevent them from being inferior in terms of technology because they couldn't adapt to the sensory controls when Doomsday War was released.

This was also why Shi Lei wasn't worried that the Hero's World and Doomsday War would be the same. Instead, the two would benefit from each other and give the players another choice. This would give them more reason to choose Dream Entertainment.

In fact, Shi Lei had more to consider about the joint operation of the Hero's World and Doomsday War …
