On the hour.

"Octopath Traveler" was officially launched on all platforms, opening payment channels and download channels, and there were several other types of games launched at the same time, some of which were not very famous, and the game type was not the same type as "Octopath Traveler", and there was almost no conflict.

Compared to the dream memory, the game development time is fast and boundless, but compared to the games of some other manufacturers and studios, the speed of "Octopath Traveler" is actually quite slow.

It's not so much that the game development environment is difficult, but that the art, camera usage, and soundtrack have been revised several times along the way.

And "Octopath Traveler" has received a lot of attention, although it is a pixel JRPG, but after all, Yang Chen, who developed this game, had a million-selling independent mini-game "The Combination of Isaac" before, and more importantly, on the eve of the game's production, there was also a mouthful of cannons - claiming that although ARPG is the trend of technological development, the traditional JPRG genre is definitely not over, players don't like RPG, but the makers didn't make the RPG they wanted.

These words just said at the 'Shanghai Independent Game Conference' the day before, that the systems of turn-based and God's perspective are tears left over from the times, and Lin Jiayi, who will tend to ARPG in the future RPG development, gave a big mouth.

Now Lin Jiayi's "Time and Space" has been online for a long time, and the response is not bad, although many players say that it is not like an RPG anymore, but the sales volume is the best proof, the cumulative sales have exceeded 1.7 million sets, which is not an explosion but is definitely a hot game.

Even if it is not launched at the same time, there will still be many people who compare the two games, and with the launch of "Octopath Traveler", people who have already paid attention to this game in advance have begun to wait and see, and at the same time, many players are watching the excitement, they want to know what capital this pixel-style game can sell for 116 yuan.

Although this price is not expensive, it is even more than 20 yuan cheaper than Lin Jiayi's "Time and Space" before, but in the impression of most players, this is a pixel game, why do you dare to sell a pixel game so expensive? Don't you slaughter us players like piglets?

Are you a pig factory?

"I don't know how much sales will be available on the first day." Touching the steel egg on the chair next to him, Wang Yaliang said a little nervously.

Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Wang Yaliang also understands that the first-day sales are still very important for the follow-up of a game, and the first thing is publicity.

On the premise of publicity, your first-day sales figures are not good-looking, and follow-up publicity is not hard.

"Just prepare for the worst, I don't think the sales will be too good on the first day, after all, it's a JRPG game, and it's a pixel style." Yang Chen smiled and said without worrying at all.

This time it wasn't out of confidence in the dream memory, but Yang Chen really felt that there was no need to worry.

Because he felt that he had done everything he could do so far, some of the criticisms in the dream memory, such as the lack of funds caused the eight characters not to have much content interaction, and even the epic plot that connected the stories of the eight people as a hidden line was a little bland, which made up for it in his production process.

In terms of the original painting and music soundtrack, although it is not the same as the original, and there is still a little gap in some places, Yang Chen feels that he has not lost that soul.

Moreover, Yang Chen has also made some optimizations in the combat system, so that the characters in the battle have more exquisite details.

Due to the problem of funding, in the dream memory of "Octopath Traveler", in fact, all the battle scenes are magnified through the lens, and the combat performance is carried out on the basis of the original map.

The advantage of this is that it saves money, and the disadvantage is that the details are not so fine.

But apparently the makers of the dream memory also thought of this, not to mention the action skills and the action feedback of being attacked, the delicate pixel visual performance in the game, and even the effect of the character's clothes and hair being blown by the wind, are all used to cover up the lack of detail in the use of lens magnification technology in battle.

But after all, this is still an auxiliary means, and if you observe carefully, you can still find some flaws.

To the extent that he can do the best he can do at present, if he fails in this case, then Yang Chen has nothing to say.

"But why do you make a game like this? Isn't that unflattering? ”

Listening to Yang Chen himself say that the sales on the first day may not be too good, Wang Yaliang asked a little strangely.

"I guess I can do the game I want to do without losing money." Yang Chen thought for a while and said.

When he chose the game "Octopath Traveler", he didn't really think about it that much, he just thought that this innovative and retro JRPG was particularly powerful, and he really wanted to make it.

As for whether sales are profitable, this is what he thought about for the second time.

If you really want to make money just to make money, there are many games in his memory that make him feel that the krypton gold system is very awesome, and they are no worse than some games in reality, but Yang Chen doesn't really want to do these games.

"The Marriage of Isaac" has allowed him to earn money that he may not have earned in his lifetime, and now he feels quite satisfied, with a car, a house and someone who loves him.

It's not that you don't feel anything about money, and who wouldn't want to be able to make money to make yourself a better life?

If you can make money, do your favorite games, this is what Yang Chen wants to do, as for earning more and earning less, let's talk about it.

A very naïve and absurd idea, if there is no dream memory.

But Yang Chen, who has the memory of dreams, thinks that he should be able to achieve this kind of goal.

"What about you? Is there anything you'd like to do? Yang Chen stared at the person next to him.

"Of course there is!" Thinking of something, Wang Yaliang looked at Yang Chen's face, and suddenly glanced to the side, and his face became a little red.

"What is it? I'll help you! Yang Chen said very seriously.

Originally, he thought that he might not be able to say such a sentence, but now he felt that he should be able to do it.

As long as she wants, nothing is too big.

Make your wish come true? Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Yaliang thought of something and turned his head.

"I want to learn how to make games too!" After being silent for a few seconds, he turned around and suddenly put his head on Yang Chen's shoulder, and Wang Yaliang said in a very low voice.

At the same time, there is another sentence in the back that she did not say.

It doesn't matter if you make a game or start a company. As long as we can stay together! ’

"Eh......" Yang Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, obviously not expecting the other party to suddenly say this.

Looking at Wang Yaliang who was close to his shoulder, Yang Chen, who was sitting on the chair, seemed to have thought of something, and with a smile on his face, he gently hugged the other party: "Okay, I'll teach you ...... then."

"Woohoo!"

The steel egg sitting on the chair next to him found that suddenly no one was massaging it, looked around, and finally stared at the man and the hostess who were hugging each other in front of him, and screamed twice.

At this time......

"Wow!" A cheer came from the office outside.

Then hurried footsteps rang out.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, the sales volume is ......" With excitement, he even forgot to knock on the door, and Chen Shu, who pushed the door open at once, had a red face and rushed in with excitement.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Chen Shu, who rushed in, suddenly froze, paused for two or three seconds, then came back to his senses and hurriedly retreated, and then closed the door with a bang.
