Chapter 119: The Best Times
By the time the time had crossed Saturday to Sunday, Guan Li had already returned to his home.
To be honest, except for an extra computer, it's no different from staying in a hotel.
Regarding the endless BGM problem, it is considered to be solved for the time being.
But how to release the game is also a troublesome matter.
Games released in China must have a game version number, and the game version number requires an ICP certificate and a company with Internet publishing qualifications to apply.
Even if all goes well, the version approval process can take anywhere from a few days to dozens of days.
Those games that don't have a version number can only rely on the closed beta version to survive, and they can't open any paid items.
If you collect money, you will be fined, and the penalty will definitely be more than what you earn.
For Chinese independent game developers who do not have publishing qualifications, there are only two ways in front of them -
The first is to look for a company with publishing qualifications to be affiliated with, in other words, to find a distributor.
If you are purely qualified to solve the problem, you will not need much money to entrust the issuance. If the quality of the game is good, the publisher may even help for free, although it doesn't make money, but they are happy to earn word-of-mouth.
The other way is simpler, instead of taking the route of domestic distribution, directly find those international game platforms that do not need a version number, and put them on the shelves to share the green light of profit sharing.
Anyway, there is no wall now, even if the game is not released in China, domestic players still play the same.
"But I still recommend that you apply for the domestic version number, it doesn't matter if it takes a little more time. Ye Lingxing suggested so.
Guan Li has no opinion, only doubts about the application result, "Can you live endlessly now?"
It's not that he's self-deprecating, but the text-only version under the current "four-level cognitive filter" is endless, and the picture is too fresh and refined!
"You should be able to get by, right?"
Guan Li looked at him and didn't speak.
"I'm not in the game industry, how can I know what their standards are?" Ye Lingxing said that everything he knew about games came from the news he occasionally saw on the Internet.
As a player, you can get the news.
Compared to the previous years when there was little hope for the approval of the version number, the state has opened up a lot of control over the game.
On the one hand, the times are advancing, and video games, as an emerging form of entertainment that is becoming more and more popular, are gradually beginning to be accepted by more people.
On the other hand, it has to do with the "wall" that has just been demolished.
When the barriers of domestic and foreign networks were removed, the global gaming platform directly entered the Chinese market.
The result of this action was tsunami-magnitude.
In the past, there were many Chinese players who used various means to buy those foreign games that had not been approved, and they had a lot of fun.
But they are only a small minority in the vast mass crowd after all.
Even the platform itself, which connects China and the rest of the world across the wall, is only in a state of "the people do not hold officials accountable" and "make a lot of money in silence".
They can't be as openly advertised as those game platforms in China.
Until, the "wall" fell.
"The impact of foreign games on the domestic market, the difference in quality has caused an overwhelming effect, and the cultural wave that has destroyed the withering and decaying has directly led to the domestic to step up support for domestic games. ”
Ye Lingxing counted the names of games that can be called "classics" in recent years, most of which are from abroad.
Shichiyo Story 3, Core: Terminal Knight, Initial Answer
In that list of game lovers familiar to everyone, there are only two that can be called "domestic games".
In such an environment, the domestic thirst for excellent games is obvious.
"The official review conditions are relaxed, all kinds of game media are willing to help promote it for free, and the player's willingness to support is extremely strong" is so strong that as long as there is an excellent work that is slightly above the level line, it can be blown up as a "masterpiece" on the grounds of "supporting domestic production", "For games, now may be the best era." ”
Once domestic games get through this most difficult eve of the dawn, the market demand will naturally rise rapidly.
And then it will slowly become the same as the current animation market
Become a death battlefield where business and inspiration collide.
For all these reasons, Guan Li did not choose to cooperate with an international platform, but was prepared to go through a serious approval process.
The company's qualifications are not a problem, after all, sooner or later, he will have to establish a cultural industry company with the "SCP Foundation" as the core.
Time is not a problem, Hentai didn't plan to sell this game from the beginning, and it needs to rely on the free policy to pit a wave of players in the early stage.
For a long time, this game will not produce a paid DLC, and there is not much difference between getting the version number in a month and getting the version number in half a year.
"Then there is only one last thing left: how to promote the game?" Speaking of this, Guan Li looked at Ye Lingxing again.
Ye Lingxing: "What do you want me to do?"
"Do you know the UP owner of the game area? ”
"Nope!"
"I don't believe it. ”
"Go to Forbidden Yao, he knows a lot of people. ”
Guan Li didn't look like he was lying, so he had to give up the idea of throwing the follow-up step in place, "I don't even have a friend who can be traded, you don't have good connections, Director Ye Lingxing." ”
"Is there anything else? If not, you can go. Ye Lingxing pointed to the door very decisively, clearly indicating that he would chase away the guests.
Guan Li also got up quite knowingly and was about to leave, "Don't bother you to do things, I will contact you online if you have something, I will be there at any time." ”
"Oh, one more thing. Pushing open the door and walking outside, he suddenly poked his head in as if he thought, "Don't kill yourself while people are away, at least finish 3999 for me first." ”
"Goodbye, close the door thanks. ”
So Guan Li returned home after the successful completion of the task, and sat down in front of the computer early to chat with Banyao.
Ye Lingxing was right, there were indeed many people who knew him.
There's a lot of everything.
"Looking for a game area up master?It's easy to advertise.,Just package the game and send it to them.,With the endless sand sculpture degree,It will definitely become an excellent game material.。 "Forbidden Yao said lightly.
For games, looking for a well-known anchor or up master to try out the game is a very effective way to promote it.
Similarly, for videographers who specialize in making game content, finding a game that is fun and suitable for them is a matter of luck.
Many game up owners will pay attention to some indie games that have not yet been released, dig up those undiscovered rough stones everywhere, and help promote them for free.
Many niche games have become more known because of their spread effect.
The mood of genuine love for games can be seen in the video.
When you play games, you must have played them because they were fun.
Even Ban Yao, who is the up master of the music area, will broadcast two games live when he has nothing to do, ranging from fighting landlords to backgammon, and the level dishes have a very dramatic effect.
Forbidden Yao: "Hentai is a free-to-play game, right, that makes it more convenient." Wait for you to modify it.,Just give me the download link directly.,I recommend it to a few game up masters who have reached the pinnacle of sand sculptures.。 ”
"Reaching the pinnacle of sand sculptures"
"Huh, there's a problem?"
"Not at all. ”
"Then I'll go to work on other things first.,If you have time, you can take a look at the Carl Roland commemorative video of station b tonight.,This time I invited a lot of bigwigs to participate.,I reluctantly went in and made up the number.,It should be the seventh program.。 ”
"Okay, I'll go see it then. ”
