"Overall it's not bad, we've received orders from several buyers, and a few game magazines have also reported on us, as long as our games are in magazines, I believe we can gain a certain amount of popularity, although we don't dare to compete with large game companies, but it's still entirely possible to capture a small market." Dai Yunfei's expression was more relaxed, and it seemed that the release effect had exceeded his expectations.

Before the release of "Hybrid Swordsman", there was actually no decent promotional activity, but only some advertising posts were published in the game forum and a few articles were uploaded for the experience of emergency trial.

It's just that this kind of publicity is better than nothing.

Therefore, the popularity of the market has not been high until the release, and the reason why it finally achieved certain results is because the competition in the martial arts RPG game market at that time was relatively small.

In addition, the production of "Mixed Yuan Swordsman" is relatively sophisticated, in 2002, there are not too many competitors of the same type, both the game screen and the plot have reached the benchmark of mainstream games in the market, and through the word-of-mouth effect of players, a group of fans have gradually accumulated.

However, due to Li Feng's intervention, the release of "Hybrid Swordsman" was advanced by nearly a month.

This ushered in a positive situation, because the number of early spring games released in early March was not large, and there were even fewer strong games, and the highlight of game releases was concentrated in the summer season in June and July.

So at present, the release of "Mixed Yuan Swordsman", in the absence of strong competitors, has more or less gained some attention, and it can be seen from interviews with many game magazines at today's release that they don't have many content points at the moment, so even the little-known "Mixed Yuan Swordsman" can attract their attention.

What's more, Gamer magazine was willing to devote two-thirds of the time to the game, which was not the case back then.

Because the beginning of March has just started the year, there are not many new games on the market, and most of the game magazines are fried last year's cold rice, and the content freshness of the March issue is relatively poor. Therefore, it is still possible to free up a certain amount of space resources to introduce some new games that are not so well-known.

Dai Yunfei's luck today can be described as quite good, as soon as he came up, he attracted the attention of "Computer Gamer" magazine and got an opportunity to introduce his game.

In this way, the start of the game "Swordsman" is more favorable, at least without investing a penny in publicity, it can get the attention of some players through the relevant introduction of the magazine.

When Li Feng learned that "Mixed Yuan Swordsman" was interviewed by many magazines, he also knew that the timing of mid-March was the right choice, if it was postponed for a month, when this year's new game market began to warm up, large game companies would invest resources in the magazine to warm up and promote, and then there would be no "Mixed Yuan Swordsman" anything.

"The release of the game has come to an end, and everyone has been working very hard during this time, so I think I need to take two days off to take a break. Li Feng said, "Next, we have two key tasks, the first is to prepare for the construction of a hybrid game company and carry out formal corporatization operation. The second is to start the development of the online version of "Hybrid Swordsman", and strive to come up with a trial version of the game as soon as possible. It can be said that the next task is still very arduous, everyone should be mentally prepared, devote themselves to the development of online games after the break, and lead the potential market of online games as soon as possible. ”

At present, the eight people who have persevered have no problem in perseverance, and they have not earned a penny in the past year, and they still pay silently and work hard to complete the dream of developing computer games, which shows that this team is a team with dreams, and such a team is very combative.

"Li Feng, after we set up the company, do you think we need to find a new office space?" Dai Yunfei said with a practical question.

"I've already thought about this question. Li Feng said, "Doesn't your Jiangzhou University of Technology also have an entrepreneurship support project now, we can try to apply for the project of establishing a mixed yuan game company to see if we can get the support of funds and venues." ”

"Our school does have entrepreneurial project support measures, but the focus is still biased towards industry, and the development of virtual entrepreneurial projects such as games is not easy to evaluate, so the school has not opened this opening. Dai Yunfei said.

As a man of the year at Jiangzhou University of Technology, Dai Yunfei can be regarded as having a certain degree of activity in the school, since he feels that it is not feasible, this shows that it is indeed difficult.

"Now that the stand-alone version of the game has been released, and the virtual success of the studio has been materialized, I think I can apply for it again. Li Feng thought for a while and said.

"I still don't think it's likely. Dai Yunfei said, "After all, the school does not support the general direction of the commercial activity of developing games, and does not think that there is much potential for growth." Unlike the research and development of mechanical and electrical equipment, engaged in electrical automation innovation, this kind of project school is very fond of, after all, they are often related to some research and development topics, if the results are obvious, and even the corresponding patents can be obtained. ”

"This is also true, the development of online games, it is true that you can't see or touch, and you can't apply for any patents, and even the game itself is suspected of being a plaything, and the school generally doesn't support it, which is normal. Li Feng nodded, "What is the general process of your school's review of entrepreneurship projects?"

"Our school has an entrepreneurial project support fund, which is specifically responsible, students can apply at any time, and then evaluated by the review committee, usually two to three rounds, and after the final pass, they can get the support of the corresponding preferential policies. Dai Yunfei said, "As early as the second half of last year, I submitted an application report for the project of our hybrid game studio, but I didn't even pass the first round and was rejected by the review committee. The review opinion given to me is that I don't support it. ”

Speaking of this, Dai Yunfei also felt a little depressed.

If the school could support his project early, then the funds of the Mixed Yuan Game Studio would not be so embarrassed, and even a certain amount of funds could be used for game promotion and marketing, then the popularity of "Mixed Yuan Swordsman" would be completely different.

If it weren't for his father personally giving him 200,000 out of his own pocket and letting him survive for a year, maybe "Mixed Yuan Swordsman" would have been stillborn, and he wouldn't even be able to wait for the time to be released.

Li Feng's eyes flashed: "Yunfei, who is the composition of the review committee, do you have a list?"
