Chapter 47 First Day Sales (Ask for Recommendation~)
"Okay, okay, don't play tricks, is the sales in one hour high?" Yang Chen listened to the knock on the door again, let go of Wang Yaliang's blank gaze, stood up and opened the door and said with a smile.
Chen Shu at the door still had an excited expression, but her eyes were scanning back and forth at Wang Yaliang, who was lying on the table next to Yang Chen and buried his head in his arm.
"That's right, Mr. Yang, the Galaxy Network has sent us the statistical report, and the total sales volume of the whole platform is 30,000 in one hour!" Chen Shu said very excitedly.
"Okay, okay, I know, but the celebration banquet is no longer a show, and when the game situation stabilizes, I'll book a hotel to take you there." Yang Chen said with a smile.
In the game industry, the initial period of game release is the hardest time, because you need to continue to observe the feedback of players after the game is released.
For example, if the numerical difficulty is really too high, and then there are bugs somewhere, these must be fixed by subsequent push patches.
Then there is a question to be aware of, that is, whether the subsequent patches will invalidate the player's save.
"Selling 30,000 copies in an hour? Is this number more or less? After Chen Shu left the office and closed the door, Wang Yaliang stopped pretending to be an ostrich, raised his head and looked at Yang Chen with a pair of big eyes.
"It's average, the decent kind." Yang Chen walked to Wang Yaliang's side with a smile and gently pinched the other party's face.
At 12 o'clock that night, the BUG patches and other things on some details were repaired, and the handover was carried out with the staff who were still on duty on the Galaxy Network, and Yang Chen and Wang Ye also got off work.
Although it was already early in the morning, Wang Ye and the others were still very excited, and the whole person was very excited.
It's not the first project they've worked on, but it's definitely the happiest project they've ever done, and they don't have to change the content of the game because of the business leadership, and they don't have to make the game the way they don't want to see it for other reasons.
"Okay, there shouldn't be anything for the time being, tomorrow everyone will not use the company for a day off, and take a good rest at home." Yang Chen looked at everyone and said with a smile.
After everyone said hello to Yang Chen, they left the office one after another.
After everyone left, Yang Chen walked into the office, looked at Wang Yaliang, who was asleep on the table, walked over and patted her face gently: "It's time to wake up, go home and sleep." ”
"Uh......h Is it over? Half-squinted and opened his eyes, sat up and rubbed his eyes, Wang Yaliang muttered.
"If you want to go back first, you have to do it." Turning off the computer, Yang Chen put a glass of warm water in front of her, and then lifted the butt of the steel egg with his toes to wake it up.
"Everyone is at the post, how can I be embarrassed to go first?" Wang Yaliang pouted and said.
"Judging from the sales and ratings on the first day, the success of the project is certain, it depends on how many copies can be sold in the end, and their bonuses will be distributed together when the time comes." Yang Chen said to Wang Yaliang.
It is normal to pay bonuses at the end of the project, of course, some small factories will never give them out.
As for dividends, there are almost no general game projects.
There are only some projects that are not small, and there will be dividends, but only the core and important positions of the main producer, chief planner, and main program participate in the dividends.
In the case of general positions, the most you can do is a bonus.
"Good!" Wang Yaliang nodded.
The two men led the steel egg, turned off the light, locked the door and left the company.
Although it was already early in the morning, many of the buildings in the entire industrial park were still lit up, and many people who had just left work left the building.
…………
The first-day sales of "Octopath Traveler" were 150,000, which is actually a very good result, but compared with the first-day sales of "Time and Space", it is still more than three times worse.
If the two sides don't have any communication, forget it, but the key is that there is a lot of communication, and it's the kind of topic gimmick.
In an instant, many people who watched "Octopath Traveler" in advance jumped out.
"Sure enough, there is no market for JRPGs and pixel games."
"150,000 sales on the first day? was crushed into slag by "Time and Space". ”
"Someone once told a joke that although ARPG is a trend of technological development, the traditional JPRG genre is definitely not the end, and players don't like RPGs, but the makers don't make the RPGs they want."
With the sales of "Octopath Traveler" on the first day, a group of people who are not optimistic about this game have instantly appeared in various post bars.
However, there are still many players who have purchased Octopath Traveler to support the game.
"A bunch of people who probably haven't played a game before are just talking here?"
"Octopath Traveler is definitely one of the most fun JRPGs I've played in recent years!"
"Oh? The most fun JRPG? 150,000 sales on the first day? I heard that the cost alone is tens of millions? Counting the cost of publicity and distribution, don't even recover the cost in the end! ”
"Isn't it as hard to admit that it's not as good as Time and Space?"
In the face of netizens who support "Octopath Traveler", the sales volume is not as good as "Time and Space".
At the same time, in the Chang'an studio, Lin Jiayi also sat in front of the computer to experience "Octopath Traveler".
"Looking at a competitor's game?" The office door was pushed open without knocking.
In the entire Chang'an studio, only Zhuo Qing, who is Lin Jiayi's old partner, will be like this.
"Well, by the way, what was the first day of sales of their game?" Looking at the game that had been downloaded, Lin Jia smiled and asked.
Although he said to the outside world that there was no conflict with Yang Chen, the relationship between the two sides was not bad, and "Time and Space" and "Octopath Traveler" did not have any hostile relationship.
But in his heart, Lin Jiayi was actually quite unconvinced, especially the previous "Time and Space Wheel" was blown up by "The Combination of Isaac", and later in the "Shanghai Independent Game Conference", he just said that JRPG is a product of the times, and ARPG is the mainstream of the future, and then he was raised again.
It's impossible to say that you don't have a little competitiveness in your heart.
"I heard others say that it seems to be 150,000, and it's good that JRPG games can achieve this result, which should be the best in recent years, but it's still a lot worse than our "Time and Space"." Zhuo Qing smiled and said, he has been busy updating the follow-up content of "Time and Space" recently, and he really doesn't know much about this game.
"Then I guess they're in trouble." Lin Jia couldn't help but smile when she thought of her previous words.
But soon, the smile on his face faded because he was already in the game.
"This screen and UI!"
After entering the game and determining the characters, looking at the official game scene, Lin Jia, who was sitting in front of the computer, felt a shock in his body, as if an electric current had rushed into his body.
