The product managers of the big factories may not have thought that the office software they developed is being played by young people.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li, who works from home, wanted to open the Tencent meeting on time and opened today's air conference to discuss the company's major events. But at eight o'clock in the evening, Li Xiang, who had just finished eating, opened the Tencent meeting again.
Only this time, it was not for office meetings, but for the game.
According to the agreed time, Li wanted to play the game "Blood Stained Bell Tower" with his friend Lian Mai at the Tencent meeting, racking his brains to throw "demons" among ten people.

That day, he played until three o'clock in the morning, and when he put down his phone and lay on the bed, his brain was still in a state of excitement, recalling every conversation in the game:
"Since Number Three said that he was a killer, he could prove his identity by directly examining people."
"Then you Number Five is now forcing him to use skills to test people, and once the error is checked, no one will shoot the devil, I doubt Number Five's intentions."
……
Yes, you read that right. At a time when "Blood Stained Bell Tower" is popular among young people as a werewolf killing advanced version, Tencent Conference has broken through from a number of professional game voice social platforms and become the online interactive platform chosen by the most players in this game.

In fact, in addition to "Blood Stained Clock Tower", they also held live games at the Tencent conference, and used screen sharing with friends to watch movies on DingTalk.
The other side of office software is slowly unfolding.
Explosive game
On the first day of opening "Blood Stained Bell Tower", the owner of the script killing shop, Ah Tanuki's store, welcomed more than 20 guests and nearly 1,000 yuan in revenue.
It is understood that the game "Blood Stained Clock Tower" originated from abroad, and there is no genuine version in China at present, whether it is online enthusiasts or offline profitable stores, they are all pirated games. The gameplay is also similar to the advanced version of werewolf killing, such as the above-mentioned "demon" similar to the werewolf killed "werewolf", "killer" is similar to "knight", except that "Blood Stained Clock Tower" can range from 5-20 people in number, suitable for novices and veterans to participate in the game together.
Although the unit price of the guest is much lower than the script kill, the traffic has increased sharply, and many players will even patronize 4-5 times in the following week, accumulating up, and do not lose the revenue of the script kill.
A beaver calculated an account for ai blue media: the cost of a single script includes at least 400 yuan to buy the script, the host to learn the script of the labor cost and salary, plus rent costs, and "Blood Stained Clock Tower" as a board game, the beginner version in Taobao only needs 80 yuan, as for the online electronic version is less than 10 yuan, even if you count the labor cost, it is far lower than the investment of the script kill.
Although the form is the same as the werewolf killing, the king of social games, "Blood Stained Clock Tower" gives the character of the "villager" in the werewolf killing a unique skill, plus "God" can also have a sense of game experience, can lie in the game, and adds many uncontrollable factors, which not only gives players more fun, but also enhances the sense of participation of the store.
And seeing the profitability of "Blood Stained Clock Tower" is of course not only Ah Tanuki.
According to the Little Red Book, there are currently 1700+ videos of "Blood Stained Bell Tower", of which the highest one has 7978 likes; in Douyin, the videos of "Blood Stained Clock Tower" have also emerged in large numbers in a few days, and the highest popular one is 1.1W likes.
Many of the bloggers who released the videos are script killing bloggers, and in their videos, there are not only the basic gameplay introductions of "Blood Stained Clock Tower", but also the game spit and live commentary. The "team up" in the comments is also enough to see the current popularity and addiction of this game.
At the same time, the Baidu index shows that since March 27, the search volume of "Blood Stained Bell Tower" has begun to increase sharply, rapidly exceeding the popularity of "Werewolf Killing" and "Script Killing" in a few days; the WeChat Index shows that the popularity of "Blood Stained Bell Tower" has increased since March 21, and is currently showing a straight upward trend, with the highest daily increase of 156.54%.
Under the explosion, a large number of players heard the sound and the stores poured in.
Although for a time, "Blood Stained Bell Tower" surpassed the script killing, but as a board game, the hidden worries buried under its explosive appearance still exist.
"This game is currently all pirated in China, the period of barbaric growth will pass sooner or later, after the arrival of the genuine version, it may cause some kind of impact," Ah Tanuki said, "In addition, because of the impact of the epidemic, now the online start is the main force, but the online game experience is not as good as offline, and it often takes nearly half an hour to explain the rules, which is really a threshold." ”
A different platform
Offline fire, online is no different.
In order to make the online business fully bloom, but also in order to achieve a smoother game experience, Ahu has tried QQ groups, WeChat groups, TT voices, and even turned out the YY voice that has been abandoned for many years, and finally found that the most suitable for opening the blood-stained clock tower is the Tencent conference.
Ah Beaver explained to AI Blue Media that at present, many of the peers who open the online "Blood Stained Clock Tower" use apps that are Tencent Conferences. Compared with other professional game voice APPS, Tencent meetings can allow more people in the same room at the same time, and the stability is better.
In the interview survey, many players said that their choice of Tencent meeting is mainly other APP relatively cumbersome, YY and QQ need to download the APP deliberately, TT voice has been removed from the shelves can only scan the hidden QR code to use, WeChat group can not meet the maximum number of people in the game, and Tencent conference is just suitable for office workers even wheat to open black, the degree of trust is also higher.
In fact, in the past two years, under the epidemic, Tencent Conference, in addition to being an essential software for online meetings of social animals, has also been played by young people as a platform for games, social networking and even love.
Sophomore Xiao Tao and her boyfriend are in a long-distance relationship, and the two people often use Tencent meetings and other Lianmai to watch movies on days when they can't see each other. She said that although platforms such as Mango TV, Shimmer, and Station B have the function of watching videos with Mai, the screen sharing of Tencent meetings does not require payment to watch videos together, and the second can be played simultaneously at both ends, and the video progress does not need to be adjusted frequently.
In addition to multi-person social networking, Lianmai games and watching movies together, young people have also played this software, which was originally designed only for the office, into an artifact of various scenarios: some people have opened an online study room for Tencent meetings, and prepared for the exam with friends Lianmai; some people have broadcast games here and so on.
Of course, in addition to the Tencent conference, many office software has also been developed by young people with new features, such as watching movies with friends with DingTalk, and using WPS to brush accounting questions for free...
Young people are giving office software new uses beyond going to work.
