Chapter 57: The Day Has Finally Arrived

Time flies, the years are in a hurry, the two months have passed quickly, and the day of the decisive battle with Xunrui Company has come. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

After the game, Luo Xing can also concentrate on game development, and the first game [Storm Marbles] is about to be launched.

Luo Xing repeatedly confirmed the problem of running the game more than 100 times, and also used Chen Ziwen's remaining 100,000 investment to buy a network server and recruit a network engineer.

The game has been promoted by multiple websites and media outlets, and the release date is today, December 1st.

In order to see the results of the game hanging up and promoting, Luoxing was wrapped in a thick quilt and shrunk in front of the computer in winter, and after 12 o'clock in the morning, he refreshed the webpage of [Haoyou.com] over and over again.

Luoxing 100,000 pieces for publicity, expansion channels, the current sales channels include [Haoyou] and other mobile game websites, smart play application center, game market, the final click rate and installation rate will be counted on the Baidu search engine, in fact, the statistics calculated in this way are not accurate, but there is no unified platform in China.

There are so many channels, Luo Xing found that 100,000 yuan is not enough at all, and it is not enough to even buy a recommendation on Baidu, there is an unwritten old saying in the industry - the publicity cost is 2 times higher than the game production cost, or even more.

Spending money to buy publicity, 1 million is not too much.

The Apple system is very worry-free, and it is enough to put it on the AppStore.

"Tsk, why haven't you seen my game yet?"

Luo Xing refreshed the web page, gradually becoming impatient.

But Chu Chenghao was reasonable: "It's just past 12 o'clock, and the background data of the website is also delayed, you go and take a break, and when it doesn't come out in the morning, then call the person in charge of the website." ”

"How can I sleep, today is the first game in my life on the shelves, if I can fall asleep, I am a god." Luo Xing was in high spirits, not because his body was not tired, but because he was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and his brain was too active.

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

Chu Chenghao went to the 24-hour convenience store outside to buy two warm coffees, now that the weather is getting colder, drinking a can of coffee can warm up the body.

Luo Xing boiled water and boiled two bowls of instant noodles, and waited with Chu Chenghao in front of the computer.

"If this game doesn't work, I'm going to rob the bank." Luo Xing said while eating instant noodles.

"Seriously?"

"Hmm."

"Well, I used to think that the security system of the Agricultural Bank on our South Gate Avenue was a little weak, and there were many alleys nearby, so it was easy to get out, so you can try it."

β€œ.... Do you have a lot of things to do with Nie Mao? Luo Xing felt that this sentence came from Nie Mao's mouth, and there was no sense of disobedience.

"Didn't you say you wanted to rob a bank? Isn't this a serious analysis for you? ”

β€œ......”

Later, Luo Xing didn't know how he spent the difficult hours in the morning, and when he saw his game [Storm Marbles] appear on the web page, Luo Xing's heart was relieved, but he soon struggled with another thing.

The game is not popular!

The click-through rate within a few hours is only hundreds, and it may be accidentally clicked in, and the number of downloads and installations is only a few, maybe it is still a friend's friendly download and installation.

Luo Xing is angry, what the hell is going on? The quality of the game is good, why doesn't anyone play?

Chu Chenghao comforted Luo Xing again, this is just on the shelves, and it is early in the morning, let's see the situation at noon.

Luo Xingqiang endured his sleepiness until noon, but received a call from Team Leader Wang.

"Hello? Luo Xing, our game [Monster Wars] is on the shelves, what about your [Storm Marbles]? Oh, I searched, the click rate is really miserable, it just broke 1000, the number of downloads is more than 20, and the comprehensive ranking is 500 outside, oops, isn't this the bottom? Team Leader Wang's voice sounded extremely active, and the joy that could not be concealed was expressed through his tone: "I hope the click-through rate will exceed 10,000 in a week, otherwise you can admit defeat now, kowtow to us, it's not too ugly...."

"Toot-"

Before Team Leader Wang finished speaking, Luo Xing hung up the phone directly, there is no need to listen to this kind of unnutritious trash talk, isn't it just to take the opportunity to hit Luo Xing's mood? Add fuel to the fire and add insult to injury.

Luo Xing searched for [Monster Wars] in the search engine, and was stunned, Nima, this data is adulterated, right!?

It was only ten hours after it was put on the shelves, the click rate was 100,000, and the number of installs reached more than 60,000!

But there is no conclusive evidence, why does Luo Xing say that others are fake? Maybe someone else's game is so popular.

Luo Xing downloaded the [Monster Wars] to his mobile phone to try it out, because the original plan was written by Luo Xing, so the quality of this game is not bad, as an enemy, Luo Xing also had to admit from the bottom of his heart that the quality of this game is not inferior to his [Storm Marble].

The only downside is that the game is a little less content.,It seems to be just a half-finished product.,A lot of things are not finished.。

Despite this, Luo Xing still gave this game a good review, and he will not deliberately disgust others and give this game a bad review just because it is simply an opponent's game.

"Alas, this bet may be lost."

Luo Xing leaned back in his chair, sighed, and looked at the ceiling in a daze, originally thought that Xunrui Company's data was fraudulent, but the evaluation was really good after the trial, and it was understandable to have such results.

Chu Chenghao comforted Luo Xing and said that this was the first day, so he had to be more patient.

But the days passed, one day, two days, three days.... The game performance is still not much better, like a dou who can't support the wall, the miserable data makes Luo Xing tired, and he finishes the game with confidence, thinking that it will be a big hit, but the results of the game are like mocking Luo Xing, how big the expectation is, how big the disappointment is.

The more time passes, the more unlikely the possibility of success becomes, and Luo Xing no longer has hope.

The bloody reality was in front of Luo Xing, which made Luo Xing doubt his ability for a while, was he too confident? What you think is good, the market may not be able to accept it.

The rest of the studio was in a similar mood to Luoxing, and the future of the Polestar Society was clouded by a thick cloud.

Ou Qing's blow will never be worse than Luo Xing's, she has been working very hard to draw illustrations, scenes, and materials, and she has invested so much energy but can't get the due return, what went wrong?

Nie Mao is a little better, but he still has the strength to scold netizens for not knowing Taishan, such a fun game is actually played by no one, blinding their dog eyes.

Xunrui Company's [Monster War], with the accumulation of fans and sufficient financial publicity, the results are thriving, and soon broke through the million threshold, occupying the 30th place in the game rankings, and it is estimated that it can continue to sprint forward, and the future is limitless.

And Luo Xing's [Storm Marbles] barely clicked through 10,000, and outside the top 500, there was not a single player who recharged.

Boss Gu saw that everyone was depressed, and he had always been characterized by obscenity, and it was extremely rare to show the posture that an elder should have.

"Cheer up, everyone, it's just the first game, so let's gain experience and continue to develop the second game! It's only been one loss and you're there sighing, you can't afford to be frustrated! ”

Luo Xing smiled bitterly: "The first game is so dead, I don't have the confidence to develop the second game." ”

The ambition that started is now gone.

Originally, Luo Xing put all his hopes on this game, hoping to turn the tables, even if it can't be a big seller, at least it can get back to its roots, but now it's really hitting the street and rushing to grandma's house.

Ou Qing sacrificed his academic time to help develop the game, and Nie Mao also temporarily cooperated with Luo Xing for the sake of profit.

Now that the first game is dying violently, why is Luo Xing embarrassed to ask others to help again? Isn't this a waste of other people's youth? Moreover, the content of Luoxing's bet with Xunrui Company is one of his hands, and in his career as a programmer, there is no chance of a comeback if he fails this time.

Lexin chose to quit the game development industry for good.

"Let's pack up our things, I've called someone to come to the door to recycle what you don't want these days, and the rest of the investment will be divided, Polestar Society... Disband. ”

Luo Xing said this, no one answered in the studio, and they all understood that it was all over.

I had so many ideals before, but now it seems to be flowing in water.

It's like a beautiful bubble, carrying everyone's dreams and expectations, and finally bursting ruthlessly.

Although he went to the competition and won the championship, Luo Xing's original intention was to develop a game and become a top game producer, and now the game data is so bleak, he is not qualified as a game producer, and there is no need for the team to keep it.

The formation of the team has completely become a joke in the face, and the [Polestar Society] was formed with great longing, but it only lasted for two months and was about to be disbanded.

Luo Xing was extremely depressed, returned to Chu Chenghao's house and locked himself in his room, lying on the bed disheartened, the ideal is very beautiful, and the reality is very cruel.

Why is this happening?

Luo Xing has to accept such a reality, what else can he do when the matter has come to this point, it is so naΓ―ve to think that he can really create miracles by his own strength, there are many talents in this world who are better than himself, if it was so easy to succeed, there would be no poor people in the world for a long time, all of them are millionaires.

I don't have enough talent.

Contrary to the gloomy atmosphere, Xunrui Company was celebrating at this time, and specially set up a banquet to celebrate the game [Monster Wars] broke the record of breaking one million the fastest time, and the achievement was even better than the previous game [Happy Bean].

"Everyone has worked overtime in the past few months!" Mr. Chen raised his glass to express his gratitude to his subordinates: "This month's bonus is indispensable for everyone!" I'll drink it first. ”

"Good!"

The employees below applauded.

After Mr. Chen toasted, he motioned to everyone to move the chopsticks: "You're welcome, let go of the belly to eat, and the company will reimburse you!" ”

"Thank you, boss!"

"Haha, thank you boss!"

"With the words of the boss, no matter how tired you are, it's worth it."

The employees expressed their gratitude, and Mr. Chen was very useful.

Mr. Chen privately found Team Leader Wang and asked, "How is Luoxing's game?" ”

"Hehe, Mr. Chen, you can put 10,000 hearts, I went to see the data of his game, it's miserable, this bet is a sure win!" Team Leader Wang told Mr. Chen with confidence.

"I know, what is he capable of, just for investment and publicity, our company has used 1 million."

"That's it, Luo Xing is too self-conscious, I can imagine the scene of him kneeling down to us and begging for mercy."
