Chapter 305 I Will Win This Time

The next day.

Old Xue, who was slacking off yesterday, sat up the next day, holding his aching head.

He glanced at the time and it was almost noon.

"Damn it, I'll be a dog if I drink again next time."

He got up, washed up, and simply cooked some noodles, which made his stomach feel better after the hangover.

I don't know how the game is selling?

Old Xue was still a little uneasy.

Lin Mo invested a lot in it, and he felt a little bad for causing his friend to lose money.

And the most important thing is that Lin Mo's game output in just a few years is more than that of many big companies in decades.

No project has ever failed, the difference is only the difference between super success and leaving a name in history.

Whether it is Dongrong Interactive Entertainment or Electronic Arts, they didn't cause any trouble.

As a result, if Old Xue's undefeated golden body was broken because of the investment

It hurts to think about it.

Although it can be seen that the data is good for a period of time after the official release, it is still unknown whether the cost can be recovered.

"I hope today's data will not fall off a cliff."

After clasping his hands together and praying in the void.

Take a deep breath and click on the author background.

Lao Xue:.

"If I drink again, I will be a dog. Damn, I am dazzled."

I patted my face hard to wake up a little, and then looked again.

Lao Xue:.

"I have to talk to Lin Mo. Is there a display bug in this software?"

Close the software and reopen it, and then look again.

Lao Xue:.

One time and two times, but not three times and four times.

Lao Xue swallowed his saliva and looked at the sales data line in disbelief.

No way.

This overwhelming wealth, it's my turn?

It's finally my turn?

I opened the mall in disbelief and clicked on the best-selling list.

The background data, combined with the ranking of the first on the best-selling list.

It can be basically confirmed that this game is really popular!

The sales data on the first day, 210,000 copies!

The total sales data so far, 320,000 copies!

Lao Xue's hands are shaking.

Now it's the second day, and the trend of the sales line has not slowed down at all.

In other words, the sales on the second day were even better than on the first day!

"No, this shit is really going to be a hit?"

Old Xue's head was buzzing.

Out of trust in Lin Mo, he changed the short play into an interactive film game, but he still had some doubts about the interactive film game track in his heart.

He even had a psychological expectation.

If he could recover the cost, it would be a success, and if he could make a small profit of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, it would be a surprise.

As a result, he never expected that with a price of 42 yuan, it sold a full 320,000 copies in just one day!

Even if the platform's commission was excluded, the cost of 8 million yuan was recovered.

Every game after that was pure profit.

But, why? !

He quickly opened the social media to take a look.

At this time, the fifth hot search on Weibo was "Finished! I'm surrounded by beauties".

On various short video platforms, any game player can see many marketing accounts recommending it.

Click on the comment area to take a look.

[Zheng Ziyan YYDS! ]

[I only know that Haohao can't live without a home and a father! 】

【Who can refuse a childhood sweetheart of a rich girl! 】

【I have been chasing after a girl who costs 400 yuan for a meal for three years. I sold my house and my parents went bankrupt. Now I finally have Xiaolu who is willing to endure hardships with me. You insist that she is fake. How can I not know whether this girl is fake or not? That game is only 42 yuan, and the game maker doesn’t make any money at all. I don’t want to be single, I want Xiaolu. 】

Of course, there are many unfriendly comments about this game, such as shrimp-headed men, various watermelon strips, and people who always say that who knows about family members.

But Lao Xue is not angry at all.

The target group of this game is very clear!

It is male players.

So, even if there are xxn abuses, so what?

"Hehe, I, Lao Xue, am also a game producer with representative works!"

As he said, the corners of his mouth curled up high.

It is

Sitting together with colleagues.

When they chat, this is "Counter-Terrorism Special Forces", that is "Sword Immortal", or simply "Dark Souls" and "Resident Evil", and his own representative works

"Finished! I am surrounded by beauties".

A bit embarrassing.

Forget it, don't think about it.

Be happy first!

I laughed at the screen for a long time, and then I remembered.

It's time to announce the good news!

Thinking about it, I picked up the phone excitedly and called Lin Mo.

"No, he also drank a lot of wine. Is he still resting?"

Just thinking about it, the call was connected.

"Hello?"

"Hello? I thought you were still resting." Lao Xue teased, "I have good news for you."

"Are you going to eat the computer? Remember to live broadcast."

Lao Xue was stunned.

Lin Mo's voice was a little playful and teasing, obviously referring to the FLAG he set.

Obviously he already knew!

"Wait, you know everything? Oh, that's right, the Origin platform is yours."

"I was bored and stared at your game all day." Lin Mo laughed and cursed, "This is China's first real-life game that provides players with the emotional value of virtual love. In the current environment where men and women are in opposition and hostility is growing, it will either be tepid and leave the stage, or explode. Is this strange?"

"But. I still don't understand." Old Xue touched his nose, "I thought no one would like this kind of script and this kind of male protagonist. It's too illogical."

"What does it matter?" Lin Mo asked back, "The most important thing about this game is how to use limited clips to portray the character of the female character, and how to set up the right love interaction between the protagonist and the female character. As for the male protagonist, the more vague the image, the better, otherwise the players will be seriously out of the play."

Old Xue was silent for a long time.

A huge wave was set off in his mind.

Thinking back now, it was indeed the case.

It seems that players who bought the game don't care about the logic of the story or the logic of the characters at all.

What they care about is the appearance of the female characters, the different personality xp and the sweet love interaction.

In the story, the protagonist is set as a bankrupt and heavily indebted entrepreneur.

Originally, there was a character arc of the male protagonist in the script, and a lot of words were written to explain why the protagonist failed, what advantages he had, and why he was liked by these excellent female characters.

But they were all cut off by Lin Mo.

Now, this extremely fast rhythm with constant small climaxes is the correct answer.

No wonder when he saw the original prototype of the short play script, he dared to say bluntly that it was suitable for adaptation into an interactive film and game.

So that's it.

"Really. I have to admire you." Old Xue smiled bitterly, "I thought you looked down on this type of game and were too lazy to study it."

Lin Mo said leisurely: "Why do you look down on it? If I have the chance, I would like to make a Mirror, Honey Select or Fallen Doll."

"Ah? What are these?"

"A great game that explores the origin of human beings."

Old Xue was confused and didn't know what to say.

"Then what should I do now?"

"What? Invite a few actresses to start a live broadcast, and then wait for this overwhelming wealth."

"What about you?"

"Me? I'm busy working."

Lin Mo moved his sore wrist, glanced at the unfinished game plan on the screen, and let out a sigh of relief.

The development process of games in the two worlds is completely different.

In this world, the concept of interactive film and games has not yet appeared, and naturally there are not many well-known classic works.

"Finished! It was expected that the game "I'm surrounded by beauties" would become popular, after all, the Origin platform gave some recommended resources.

However, being able to live like this is indeed far beyond expectations.

The estimated sales of this game are at least 2.7 million copies, which is even more exaggerated than the sales of 1.9 million copies in the previous life.

This shows one thing.

The players in this world seem to have a high acceptance of this type of game.

Since they love it so much, some good similar games can be prepared in advance, and they can be developed one after another with "Resident Evil: Village", which will not take up much energy.

As for which one, it has been decided.

"Detroit: Become Human".

In the previous life, a game that was well-received but not popular, but in fact, the quality is quite good and worth playing repeatedly.

Many games are made or destroyed by live broadcasts.

"Detroit: Become Human" is like this. With the development cost doubled, it only achieved sales that are almost the same as "Heavy Rain: Origami Killer".

But on the live broadcast platform, it is a big hit.

And "End! I'm surrounded by beauties" is different from the low price. Many players can buy it directly if they are interested. Anyway, the price is not expensive, just to satisfy their curiosity.

However, "Detroit: Become Human" is a real 3A game. It costs a lot of money to buy a copy, and many people will be discouraged.

Therefore, Lin Mo plans to set the first chapter for free, and the subsequent chapters are paid. If you pay once, you can get a discount.

Lower the entry threshold for players as much as possible. As long as players are interested in playing the first chapter of the game, they will have the confidence to attract players to pay with high-quality game content.

"By the way, Lao Xue, to congratulate you on the success of your game, how about I give you a DLC?"

"DLC?" Lao Xue didn't quite understand what it meant, "I can just ask a few adopted daughters to shoot it at that time, is it necessary to give it?"

Lin Mo smiled and asked, "Aren't you curious? "It's over! I'm surrounded by beauties" is made with the specifications of a 3A game. What does such an interactive movie game look like?"

Lao Xue took a breath.

It feels like it's cool!

"Are you really planning to make an interactive video game like this? Do you want to promote your own game?"

"Of course."

A few days later.

"What? It's popular? What's popular?" Arnold frowned at Pavard, "Calm down and talk slowly."

Pavard took the cup in front of him and drank a mouthful of water, then slowly said: "Do you remember what I said a few days ago, a game in the form of a live-action performance, where the player's choice determines the direction of the story. Interactive video game!"

"Interactive video game? This term is quite appropriate."

Arnold nodded in understanding.

This is a term that I haven't heard of, but it's not difficult to guess from the written meaning.

Pavard smiled and said: "You may not know yet, we just talked about the concept of interactive video games last time, and then a game of this type became very popular. The profit margin is amazing! You can see it by setting the Origin platform to the Chinese version."

After saying this, Arnold immediately became interested and quickly opened the origin platform of China District to take a look.

I thought it was some amazing dark horse, but when I clicked in and took a look, my face immediately darkened.

"Can this kind of thing be so popular? Are you kidding me?"

Pawar helplessly spread his hands: "That's the fact. The game has sold 2.1 million copies so far, and dubbing versions in various languages ​​are being produced. It can be said to be a huge profit."

If it weren't for the fact, Arnold wouldn't want to believe it.

This thing, the production cost of a game is not as high as the CG of "Galaxy Hunter".

It became popular?

The sudden popularity of this incomprehensible game suddenly made him a little wary and a little PTSD.

"Which company does this game come from? It doesn't come from Naughty Cat, does it?"

Pawar sneered inwardly.

Are you afraid of being beaten?

The wind is roaring.

How could Naughty Cat play such an obviously borderline game?

It seems that he is really afraid, and will not consider any project that might run into Naughty Cat.

But I thought so in my heart, and said calmly: "Don't worry, this game is not even a officially registered game company, it is just a local workshop."

Arnold glanced at his expression and said calmly: "I know what you are thinking, and it is indeed what you think. Lin Mo is a terrible enemy. I admit that I underestimated him at the beginning, and I also admit that Naughty Cat The game is really good. I need to keep my position first, so the next two games must not collide with Naughty Cat.”

Pawar was a little surprised to say it so frankly.

After considering the language for a while, he asked: "What about the next two projects of Electronic Arts Games?"

"Remember that scary horror game I mentioned?" Arnold sneered. "Many of the main members are from the production team of "Neighbors" and are people from Lucas's previous team. I recently heard about this guy from nowhere. Investment has been secured, and the new project has been launched, with a release date in one and a half months. I heard that he often brags to others that this game will definitely be on the WGA stage? Hehe, I want to see how much he can achieve. energy."

Pawar was speechless for a while.

Good guy, you have gone crazy after being targeted by Naughty Cat, and then you come to bully an independent game producer like Lucas, right?

Well, that's very Electronic Arts.

But think about it.

In Electronic Arts games, except maybe Naughty Cat games, whoever you bump into will be unlucky.

90% of the game companies in the world are not rivals.

The reputation is poor, and the games produced do have problems, but they are compared to Naughty Cat.

Compared with the other 90% of game companies, it is not even a little bit better.

Then, Pawar sat up straighter and asked a little nervously: "What about the second model?"

"The second one, let's try this interactive video game!" Arnold said decisively, "Starting from now, let Spencer reshoot the scenes of the multi-ending "Future World" and strive to launch the game in three months."

Pawar felt excited inside.

Netflix doesn’t care. If it can’t win over Electronic Arts, it’s not a good choice to go it alone.

only.

This alliance of frustrated people was still formed.

After calming down, he questioned: "Three months later? Isn't this the DLC of the game "Done! I'm Surrounded by Beautiful Women"? Is this good?"

Arnold took a look at the game mall page in the Chinese region of the origin platform.

[DLC remaining until release: 80 days]

[Countdown to mysterious surprise: 90 days]

[Pre-order the DLC and discover the secret surprise! You can also draw a lottery for a chance to receive a mysterious surprise! ]

"It doesn't matter, it's just a DLC from a local workshop. What surprises can there be? It's a hit. As long as it's not a game related to Lin Mo, you have nothing to fear." After saying that, Arnold's expression became a little more confident, "This time Both projects are perfect to avoid naughty cats, I will win!" (End of this chapter)
