Chapter 192: Azazel’s Trump Card
Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Azazel’s Trump CardHuang Wang opened the backend of Henggang Middle School Simulation with a surprised and delighted look on his face.
At first, there weren’t many changes, and the sales were as sluggish as usual, barely alive.
But gradually, the sales growth seemed to pick up, and the newly acquired reviews also began to improve!
Initially, the game’s reviews were "mostly negative", which soon plummeted to "an overwhelming number of negative reviews".
The reasons were simple: "mostly negative" because players were greeted by poor graphics and tedious controls as soon as they entered the game; and the "an overwhelming number of negative reviews" came after they discovered the monotonous gameplay and frequent bugs with deeper experience.
But now, the game’s positive reviews were actually starting to recover, changing to "mixed"!
Afterwards, Henggang Middle School Simulation was mostly going to maintain this standard of review. It wouldn’t become famous for its shocking negativity like Hell Inferior Demon, nor could it achieve the legendary high praise of a Nitiandang game.
However, the mixed reviews were enough to make some players willingly give the game a try!
Especially since recent reviews even occasionally showed "mostly positive", seeing the comforting blue text filled Huang Wang with joy.
And seeing the continuously growing sales data in the backend, Huang Wang was even happier.
Then, he opened other live stream rooms and gaming forums.
After that, Huang Wang was surprised to discover that some live stream rooms on the Longmao streaming platform had already begun to use a mini-app ahead of others.
This mini-app was also quite straightforward, it could be considered a MOD or a sort of patch tool. Once activated, it could connect to the live streaming platform’s backend data, automatically collecting the IDs and information of the viewers who gifted and changing the student, teacher and dean of student affairs’ names in Henggang Middle School Simulation to correspond with those viewers’ IDs.
Moreover, this mini-app could even handle simple settings, such as what kind of gift allowed for the changing of what level of names, all clearly priced.
For some smaller streamers, their audience base was naturally not large enough to have many wealthy benefactors showering them with planes. With not enough people gifting, it’s hard to create a bandwagon effect, and the likely outcome would be that people would be reluctant to gift at all.
So, those small streamers could lower the gifts’ threshold at their discretion, like offering free cat food or a few Yuan for card activation, to get their names changed in the game and heighten the sense of participation.
As a result, the effect once seen in Wang Dawei’s live stream was now easily replicated in other streamers’ live rooms!
This form of gifting not only had a strong positive feedback, but this feedback was also rapid and immediate, without any delay.
Previously, Wang Dawei would manually enter the information upon receiving gifts, which was understandably inefficient.
But with this mini-app, all the renaming was done automatically. After the name change, the student would even have a bright highlighting effect over their head, with a fireworks-like gift animation, and the changed IDs would be displayed directly above their heads.
Of course, the streamers still had to thank their viewers for the gifts.
For some special wealthy viewers, when the streamers paid particular attention, they could also manually adjust the names, assigning the affluent viewers to even more desired roles.
All in all, the arrival of this mini-app was very timely, as though pillows were being handed out just as the streamers were dozing off.
As for the forums, players also had diverse opinions about Wang Dawei’s speech, sparking heated discussions.
Even on a question-and-answer site, questions related to Henggang Middle School surged to the top of the hot
And even for the buggy art assets, those were part of the poor-quality resources bundled with the templates and sold together.
But just because there is no legal risk, doesn’t mean there are no ethical issues.
Just like some gaming companies that completely imitate the gameplay of popular games, releasing a similar game and then using marketing tactics to snatch market share. Is it illegal? No. But that doesn’t stop players from cursing them.
Just when "Henggang Middle School Simulation" was starting to pick up, it was being stabbed in the back by one of its own, extinguished like a snuffed out star, Huang Wang could not accept this!
Azazel, however, was unmoved. He shook off Huang Wang’s hand and sent out the final post, then leaned back in his computer chair, full of confidence.
"You don’t know shit. I am the boss of Hell Frontline!"
For Azazel, if the game actually made money, Lilith would take three-quarters of the negative emotions away, and that was something he couldn’t tolerate!
