Chapter 180. The Twelve Divine Generals
Just two days after the carnival held by Denki Animation and Hatsune Games, Horofey brought back some good news from Kyohei.
In the just-concluded Game of the Year Awards, Bloodborne: Cursed won five awards, including Best Mobile Game, Best Game Music, and Best Game Art Design, and although it missed out on Game of the Year, it was also the game with the most awards at this year's awards ceremony, and it was the first web game to win awards in years other than mobile games.
Xu Rui naturally doesn't pay much attention to this "Pheasant Award", but the popularity of the game brought by the Game of the Year Award is not fake, because it is held by the media, so after winning the award, major game media have released information about the award ceremony, mentioning "Bloodborne: Cursed" many times, and even some magazine media have written special articles to introduce "Bloodborne: Curse".
Although some staunch "console" gamers feel that letting a web game win some of the awards in the Game of the Year Awards is disrespectful to those who have worked hard for years to make a triple-A masterpiece, they feel that the Game of the Year Awards are just a matter of getting hot and going there, and there is no professionalism at all.
But there is no doubt that "Bloodborne: Cursed", which was originally only circulated among a part of anime lovers and pan-two-dimensional audiences, has really entered the field of vision of mass players.
At the same time, the activities to celebrate the Spring Festival launched by "Bloodborne: Cursed", and various crazy broadcast benefits, also made some players who were hesitant to enter the pit come and try it.
According to incomplete folk statistics, as of December 31, the registered users of "Bloodborne: Curse" are about 17 million, with an average daily activity of about 12 million, a monthly activity of more than 15 million, and an average daily game time of 93 minutes, which is an extremely terrifying number. It's not just a casual player who signs in and draws a free turntable.
This means that this game has a very high game stickiness and conversion rate.
New Year's Day is coming, and "Bloodborne: Cursed" has more than a dozen character New Year's skins on the shelves at once, and these skins will be sold until the Lantern Festival, but the vast majority of players who want to buy skins have bought these skins as soon as possible.
After all, you can get a skin plus a ten-link coupon for a ten-link money, and this skin is equivalent to giving it for free.
Since New Year's Day, Bloodborne: Cursed has topped the mobile game's revenue charts, partly because of the skins and partly because of the month-end limited pool that opens at noon on December 31.
This limited pool is different from the previous month-end limited characters, and in addition to the normal limited characters, there is a new one.
According to the introduction, this character named Anila belongs to the Twelve Divine Generals series of characters, this series comes from a secret realm in the world view of "Bloodborne: Cursed", which is guarded by twelve saint-like characters, these twelve characters correspond to the zodiac in Chinese mythology, and Anila is the god general who represents the sheep.
Anila is wearing a long skirt modified from traditional Chinese costumes, holding a halberd, and beside her are cute little sheep.
This year happens to be the Year of the Goat, and this god will also add a bit of hope to the cruel and bleak world of Bloodborne: Cursed.
Xu Rui announced a new batch of character plans at the carnival, but did not say the details, and it was not until the end of the month that the limited pool opened, and people found out that he had hidden such a big bomb.
Since the big wheel covers the end of the month, there are many lucky players who have won Anila by relying on the free gacha and posting it on various social platforms.
And the other group of people, in addition to envy, also directly spent money to rely on the ten consecutive draws sent by the big turntable to make up three hundred draws, and exchanged it back.
According to the announcement, the sheep god general Anila will appear in the month-end limited pool for the whole year of this year, and then it will be out of print for a whole year, and will not enter the month-end limited pool again until the third year.
In addition to pumping Anira, many players also think outside the box and have some bold ideas.
[Iron Bone]: Since there is a god general in the Year of the Goat, should next year's monkey god be arranged?
[Spicy Rabbit Head]:, you say so, does this game have to produce twelve gods and operate for twelve years???
[Sand Sculpture Undead]: Although I think that according to the current state, Hatsune Games should be alive and well in the next few years with "Bloodborne: Cursed", but a web game that has been in operation for 12 years is a bit too optimistic.
[ARTZEY]: This game is very ambitious, but to be honest, from the beginning of the server to now, I feel that I have just walked out of the novice village, and there is a lot of game content, and the speed of my liver is almost unable to catch up with the speed of this game update!
[Suzhou Hangzhou Nursing Home]: Yes, you look at several mobile games in the same period, the closed service, the closed service, the one that has not been updated, the vast majority of the mobile game page games are just opened when the service stimulates a wave of consumption, cut a wave of leeks, and then there is no sound, but the update of this game surprises me every time, and the production team is indeed seriously operating and developing this game.
[Day 3 Demon King]: No matter, I'll explode first, from today onwards, Anila will be my wife.
[Iron Bone]: I'm sorry, your wife and I have already drawn it this morning.
[Day 3 Demon King]: Grass!
......
In addition to the game, Phantom Animation also updated the second season of "Horizon Borderline" in January, with the popularity accumulated in the first season, the clicks of the second season quickly climbed, and the pre-order sales of discs also exceeded the level of the same period in the first season, and people seem to be seeing the birth of a sales monster again, and this time, this monster seems to be even more powerful.
I don't know when the title of the wall of masterpieces has spread.,With a little ridicule.,With a little helplessness.,Many sales "experts" have said that they can't even break the wall.,What kind of masterpieces are you talking about.,And compare it with the animation of the past few years.,I found that there are very few animations that can stably exceed the sales of the wall of masterpieces.。
"Industry pills!"
Many shouted such a slogan, although it seems that this slogan has been shouted for many years.
But if these sales-oriented viewers take a serious look at Taotao's sales rankings, they will find that when no one notices, another work from Xu Rui has climbed to the top of the list of animation game software and is far ahead.
That is the second source library of the sound synthesis engine released on January 1st, the Mirror Twins.
