Chapter 21: Listen to You
The review editorial department of the game Starfield.
"Wow! This niche game is about to explode! The turnout is almost over 4,000, and it still stands at 9.1 points. ”
Looking at the data of "The Marriage of Isaac" in the background, someone sighed.
You must know that the accounts of the game starry sky are bound to major game platforms, and only when the game is detected in the inventory, can the player vote can be carried out, and there is basically no cloud player who has never played it, and then brag about it, or talk nonsense.
Of course, if you want to buy it but don't play it, the cloud is right, and there is no way to do it.
"The Marriage of Isaac! Is this game that magical? It's Lao Wang and Lao Li's evaluation, right? Actually gave a high score of 9? Lin Jiayi's "Time and Space Wheel" only gave a score of 7.5. ”
In the editorial team, have there been any people who have played this game, and asked with some curiosity.
Lao Li, who was drinking the happy tea of the fat house next to him and nibbling on the happy castle of the fat house, swallowed the food in his mouth: ""The Wheel of Time and Space" is still Lin Jiayi's old-fashioned RPG gameplay, which can only be said to be good, but this "The Combination of Isaac" really gives me a very amazing feeling, it is not that there is no random element in the past, but those games give me a very chaotic feeling, but this "The Combination of Isaac" is different, a little indescribable, only if you have played it can you withdraw the charm of it. ”
"So mysterious? I'm going to review it too, and it just so happens that my article hasn't landed yet tomorrow, so if it's really so awesome to tell you, I'll also write a review. ”
An hour later......
"Lao Zhang is off work, go to the cafeteria to eat!" Packed up the computer, Lao Li shouted.
"Wait, this one I feel...... No, I'm done reviewing this game, I'm working overtime today, Lao Li, you can help me order a takeout. ”
The editorial department of the game Starry Sky is just a small microcosm, with the investment of resources of the Galaxy Network, and more and more players who come into contact with "The Binding of Isaac" began to spontaneously promote it, a whirlwind called "rougulike" began to slowly sweep the entire game circle.
…………
On the official game platform on the fourth day, "The Binding of Isaac" managed to reach the top 10 list of first-day sales, although it was only the last one.
And "Time and Space Wheel", which originally remained in the first place, fell to the second position.
More and more people are taking notice of this little-known indie game.
Especially in the gaming industry.
For the game industry, it is not so surprising that a niche indie game suddenly emerged, such as Lin Jiayi's famous work "Alien Traveler", which relied on a small studio of only 5 people.
But the key is that before that, Lin Jiayi had been in the industry for seven or eight years, and the members of his team were all experienced old men in the industry.
And what about this "The Binding of Isaac"?
After collecting the relevant data, everyone knew that this game was definitely going to be successful, but they didn't know how far it would be successful.
But the development team behind such a game turned out to be a second- or third-rate outsourced game studio, and its main business is still in mobile games?
Is this a fuss!?
Obviously, the success of the game should not have anything to do with the outsourcing studio, otherwise it would be so awesome, what kind of outsourcing company do you do?
All the industry insiders are focused on game makers.
Game planner: Yang Chen
Game Stats: Yang Chen
Game level design: Yang Chen
Game plot design: Yang Chen
Log on to the official website to inquire, everything in the entire game, except for programs, art, music, etc., only one person's name is written in other places, and that is Yang Chen.
It may seem impressive, but it's not that unimaginable for an indie game.
After all, compared to a large game production team with a clear division of labor, a small indie game team has only a few people, and it is normal for one person to hold multiple positions.
What really attracts people's attention is Yang Chen, after another game failed, he was able to launch a new game so quickly to make a comeback, and he hired an outsourcing team, and finally succeeded, which is a bit incredible.
'The Binding of Isaac, an indie game that you can't get tired of playing! ’
'The sales volume successfully exceeded 100,000 in a week, and "The Binding of Isaac" topped the daily sales list of the official game platform! ’
'An indie game that perfectly presents random elements! ’
The name of this magical game is 'Isaac!' ’
With the promotion of the Galaxy Network, "The Combination of Isaac" was known by more and more players, and at the same time, it successfully won the championship of the daily sales list on the seventh day, while NetDragon's "Time and Space Wheel" has fallen out of the top ten list.
Game self-media, game starry sky, and a series of game media have begun to report.
On the live broadcast platform, there are more and more videos and live broadcasts about "The Marriage of Isaac" on the video platform.
Demonic!
That's what all gamers know about this game after getting their hands on it.
Compared with "Time and Space Wheel", "The Combination of Isaac" can be said to be crushed in terms of both the picture and the plot, but all players who have played and deeply played "The Combination of Isaac" have a unified understanding.
This game is so magical!
Every time you open a room to enter the next dungeon, there are different surprises, and the items you get each time are uncontrollable.
…………
"100,000 * 58, and then the official game platform will take a 30% commission, and the Galaxy Network will also get a commission, plus there is also a tax ......"
After taking a shower from the bathroom, Yang Chen saw Wang Yaliang lying on the bed in pajamas, with a pen and a small notebook next to him, and a calculator in front of him, muttering and pressing.
"What are you doing?"
It was a little strange to walk over Yang Chen.
"I'm calculating how much money we'll make! The game has already sold 100,000 copies! Wang Yaliang said excitedly.
"This is just the beginning, and according to the current trend of "The Marriage of Isaac", 100,000 is definitely not the end." Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh and collapsed on the bed on his back.
"If we sell 100,000, we will have about 1 million." Yang Chen thought about it in his heart, looked at Wang Yaliang who was still fiddling with the calculator and said.
"So little!?"
Putting down the calculator in his hand, Wang Yaliang pounced on Yang Chen's body and said in surprise.
She thought she could have more than two million.
"It's just the first game.,And the conditions of the Galaxy Network are relatively kind.,Although they get a lot of game commissions.,But they do enough things.。 Yang Chen shook his head and said.
The distribution and operation of the game, including the later publicity, are all responsible for the Galaxy Network, and the cost of this aspect is also borne by the Galaxy Network, plus they are not able to carry out game promotion bonuses.
If the Galaxy Network originally intended to take a small head, then Yang Chen would have to wonder if the other party's head was kicked by a donkey.
Isn't this working for someone else for nothing?
"What do we do after that? Take the money back to your hometown and buy a house? Wang Yaliang looked at Yang Chen and said.
"Rest assured that there will definitely be a house, and when the time comes, we will not buy a small house, we will buy a villa." Yang Chen patted Wang Yaliang's head.
"Next, when the fire of "Isaac" is completely ignited and the first batch of money comes in, we need to recruit some people, get the studio up, and at the same time update the follow-up content of "The Binding of Isaac".
For the follow-up plan, Yang Chen already had an idea in his heart.
As for "The Marriage of Isaac", Yang Chen had a lot of new content and elements that had not been added due to financial problems.
When you have money, it's impossible not to do these things.
Moreover, there were too many things in Yang Chen's head, and he wanted to take them out
"Listen to you." Wang Yaliang put his face on Yang Chen's chest and whispered.
With his hand gently brushing his hair, a smile appeared on Yang Chen's face, and he leaned his head to the other party's ear: "What do you mean by listening to me?" You're the big boss of the studio! I'm your little worker! ”
