Pei Qian returned to his office and quickly opened his computer to check the comments section for “Glory of God.”
As soon as he saw the game’s rating, Pei Qian felt a chill in his heart.
On the official gaming platform, the GOG mobile version had achieved a rating of 9.1!
Pei Qian checked several other mobile game channels, and the ratings were all hovering around 9 points!
And judging from the intensity of comments, players seemed extremely satisfied with this game!
After casually scanning through a few comments, Pei Qian felt a sense of trepidation.
“Tenda brought GOG to mobile so quickly? Damn, this is such a pleasant surprise! Now we can play team games on mobile!”
“I thought it would be a half-finished product, but surprisingly, the completion level is extremely high. Both the control scheme and interface have been greatly optimized for mobile players’ operation habits, and I didn’t encounter any bugs from start to finish. Must give it a positive review!”
“I was wondering which among Divine Revelation, ioi, and GOG would win on PC, but Tenda’s move is so clever—GOG directly jumped to mobile and isn’t competing with those two anymore!”
“GOG’s gameplay is already great, and with simplified controls and faster pace, it’s even more suitable for mobile. I can only say the designer of this game had a very clear mind from the beginning, knowing where its advantages lie. Definite five-star review!”
“Taking a mature game mode, executing it well, and even making breakthroughs—Tenda’s development level is truly first-class in China, giving people the feeling that ‘in martial arts, speed is supreme’!”
“Being able to directly log in with a Tenda gaming account deserves praise, fully synchronized data with the PC version deserves praise, and finally, opening skin purchases deserves praise! Epic skin for the spendthrift hedgehog, here I come!”
Pei Qian reluctantly scrolled down, going through two or three pages, yet couldn’t find a single negative review!
He felt a bit dizzy.
But thinking carefully, this phenomenon wasn’t strange.
Because the timing of GOG’s mobile version was very special.
If GOG had released its mobile version after ioi had already dominated the PC market for several years, it would have been in a very awkward position:
If it weren’t similar to IOI, players would already be accustomed to IOI’s game mode and would find the GOG mobile version difficult to adapt to.
If it were too similar to IOI, it might become popular but would be criticized as a copycat.
But now, the PC games were still in a chaotic battle phase. ioi had only slightly gained an advantage in foreign markets. Though its popularity in China wasn’t bad, it was far from achieving dominance.
With GOG mobile launching at this time, it offered players a mobile gaming experience not inferior to PC games, while being excellent enough in character design and gameplay improvements that people wouldn’t consider it a copycat.
After all, many people viewed ioi as a copycat of “Divine Revelation.” Comparatively, the differences between GOG and ioi were even greater than those between ioi and “Divine Revelation”…
Although initially Pei Qian had said “just copy Divine Revelation,” during GOG’s development process, after modifications based on the opinions of He Desheng, Bao Xu, and players from Slackin’ Internet Café, GOG had become a completely different game.
Besides all having three lanes, there were few similarities left.
Add to that the mobile version’s stability with no bugs, data synchronization with the PC version, and the ability to directly log in with Tenda gaming accounts—the batch of newcomers all had one feeling: amazement!
They never imagined they could play such a complex, high-quality game on mobile!
Although “Hot-Blooded Battle Song” had also been released in a mobile version with good reception, compared to GOG, it immediately seemed like a small trick next to a great one.
Of course, as more players joined and the game became more popular, the rating would gradually decrease, falling below 9 points. But at least for now, the GOG mobile version had a strong start, receiving both critical acclaim and commercial success!
Many people couldn’t resist buying skins, and a new wave of income was about to arrive…
Pei Qian quickly downloaded the GOG mobile version to his phone and opened it to check.
After playing one match, Pei Qian felt the situation was even more precarious.
He had previously experienced the unfinished version of GOG on the computer, but he hadn’t been overly vigilant then because GOG’s completion level wasn’t high. Except for fixed lane positions and other game mechanics that were ahead of ioi, it lagged behind ioi in balance, heroes, and game details.
So Pei Qian thought at that time, as long as it couldn’t beat ioi in the PC realm, it would surely lose money.
But in the mobile realm, everything was different!
Because mobile screens were smaller and players’ expectations were relatively lower, even if GOG had some shortcomings in game details, players would be especially forgiving and not care at all!
After being ported to mobile and improving the control scheme, GOG’s leading game mechanics were fully highlighted.
Players would discover after just one game that the GOG mobile version was more exciting, faster-paced, and easier to learn, naturally leading to endless praise!
Of course, many players found it difficult to adapt to mobile controls and felt mobile had cut some features compared to PC, instinctively feeling some resistance.
But at this point, another advantage of GOG manifested: data synchronization between PC and mobile!
Players could play on both PC and mobile. Plus, players on different platforms were matched separately, ensuring competitive fairness.
In short, the GOG mobile version, judging from its current state, was almost perfect!
All it lacked was time. As time passed and game content was continuously enriched, it would naturally progress smoothly.
Of course, other mobile games might overtake it later.
Pei Qian also checked the game’s store and found the entire store seemed similar to the “Sea Fortress” store system, except there were no 888-yuan items.
GOG currently has over 20 heroes, each with a default classic skin and a brave skin.
Additionally, some heroes had epic skins or legendary skins, but not every hero had them.
Probably because there wasn’t enough effort to make legendary skins for all heroes yet.
In terms of pricing:
All heroes were free, but there was a “proficiency” concept. Only after reaching a certain proficiency level could you use that hero against players; otherwise, you could only play against AI.
Brave skins were given free after reaching top proficiency with a hero, with changed models, completely redone textures, and some exclusive effects.
Epic skins cost 18 yuan, with redone models, changed effects, rich animation layers, and some exclusive voice lines.
Legendary skins cost 45 yuan, with extremely detailed models, exclusive recall animations, unique voice lines, and skill effects, absolutely making players feel they got more than their money’s worth.
Besides these, there were other limited skins obtained in various ways, such as rewards for reaching certain game time or high competitive arena ranks.
This was the same as “Sea Fortress.”
Skins themselves didn’t add any attributes; they just looked cooler.
As for other payment points, there were none.
Seeing this pricing, Pei Qian relaxed a bit.
Good, good, this price was completely acceptable.
It seemed the Tenda spirit had taken effect!
Pei Qian felt that just this pricing strategy should make him earn much less money on this game!
This store model was drawn from “Sea Fortress’s” successful experience, making many rewards obtainable for free by spending time, and the most expensive skins costing only 45 yuan, extremely generous.
“Thankfully, the game’s charges aren’t high.”
“Considering this, with fewer initial GOG players, the income should still be within my acceptable range…”
Pei Qian couldn’t resist starting another game.
After finishing, he casually bought a single-blade met skin for Modisiter.
“Well, I have to say, this game is quite fun…”
This was the first time Pei Qian had played such a similar game on mobile after returning.
Although he had played “Divine Revelation” before, that was on a computer. GOG mobile was more friendly to mildly uncoordinated players like Pei Qian.
After playing two matches, Pei Qian suddenly felt that turning this game into a mobile version wasn’t bad?
Although it would bring him some burden and make him earn more money, this world would now have a MOBA mobile game, along with his exclusive skin…
Having one more entertainment activity wasn’t bad!
While casually browsing the game, Pei Qian suddenly discovered an advanced option in a prominent position on the settings interface.
“Hmm, high frame rate mode?”
Pei Qian clicked on it without thinking, as high frame rate mode provided significant improvements for competitive games like this.
Although it would increase power consumption and make phones heat up, if it could bring a better gaming experience, it was clearly worth it.
However, after clicking, Pei Qian discovered that this option was grayed out. Clicking it only brought up a prompt message.
“High frame rate mode can only be enabled on high refresh rate screen models. Recommend using the OTTO E1 phone for a better gaming experience.”
This prompt was displayed for a moment before disappearing.
Pei Qian: “…”
He silently clicked the button again and read the message very carefully.
Then, he slapped his forehead.
“Damn!!!”
…
…
OTTO Technology.
Chang You was keeping an eye on the order numbers on the official website while watching a video just released by a mobile phone review media outlet.
Since GOG officially launched this morning, the sales figures, which had already entered a slow growth phase, began to rapidly increase again!
With each order, OTTO phones from the warehouse were sent to various addresses. Most were addresses in Jingzhou and Lincheng, but there were also orders from other cities like the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital!
The video Chang You was currently watching was an in-depth review of the OTTO E1 phone.
“Recently, there’s been a lot of controversy about this phone. Some say it’s very conscientious, while others say it’s an IQ tax product relying on hunger marketing.”
“To bring you a comprehensive enough review, our review team stayed in Jingzhou after the launch event, specifically to fully experience this phone’s advantages.”
“During our experience, we found that this phone is like a treasure, bringing new surprises at any time!”
“From daily life to work and entertainment, the quality of life improvement this phone brings you is far greater than eight thousand yuan!”
“First, let’s start with Slackin’ Internet Café…”
In the video, the review team took this OTTO E1 phone and experienced most of its bundled benefits from start to finish, documenting it completely!
The few benefits they didn’t experience weren’t because they didn’t want to, but because they couldn’t—like Nameless Restaurant, which was impossible to book on short notice.
At the end of the review, they also detailed the differences in gaming experience when playing GOG with high frame rate mode enabled on the OTTO E1 phone compared to other phones.
This segment was completed urgently before publication.
By the time Chang You saw this review video, it had already gone viral, with rapidly growing views!
Although some review media had previously released review videos of this phone, they were generally limited to hardware aspects, merely introducing the high refresh rate screen, dual speakers, and other standard hardware configurations.
Because this was their usual procedure when reviewing most phones, and to experience all the benefits would require staying in Jingzhou for a long time, many review media simply didn’t have this patience.
This review media has stayed in Jingzhou to experience these benefits since the launch event, only finishing filming and editing today before releasing this video!
With the launch of GOG mobile, this well-produced video sparked an enthusiastic response as soon as it was released!
Previously, many people knew this phone had various benefits, but didn’t have a particularly intuitive feeling about them, so the attraction was insufficient.
But after seeing these benefits in the video, many people could no longer resist the urge to purchase.
Moreover, this phone could enable high frame rate mode, paired with the newly launched GOG mobile—it was practically perfect!
And it wasn’t just a simple gaming device; it was inherently a high-configuration, long-battery-life phone, as well as a walking Tenda membership card!
Judging from the first batch of users’ feedback, this phone used relatively mature technology, and the contract manufacturer was reliable, so quality control was very good. Even if some phones experienced minor issues, they could be immediately replaced with new ones and properly resolved.
Thus, many people’s desire to purchase was reignited, and the previously frantically stocked inventory came into use!
Since morning, orders had been continuously arriving, while the inventory phone numbers kept decreasing, showing an increasingly rapid trend!
As Chang You was getting excited, his phone rang.
Seeing it was Mr. Pei calling, he hurriedly answered.
“Hello? Mr. Pei?”
On the other end of the phone, Pei Qian’s voice seemed somewhat low: “Send me a phone, I want to try GOG’s high frame rate mode.”
Chang You looked at the computer screen, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Sorry, Mr. Pei, you’ll have to wait a bit.”
“The phones… just sold out.”
