Moya Technology Headquarters.

Zhang Xiaoguang laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Rejoice!

Seeing these evaluations, especially IGP's evaluations, it is simply that the haze of the past two months has been swept away, and MGC2 has finally seen the hope of coming out!

Zhang Xiaoguang is now urging his subordinates to give him the latest sales data every day, and he is happy to see this data!

Of course, "Zodiac Guardian" is not the kind of game that can explode in sales, because this game is a game that takes into account both gameplay and artistry, and it is not a game that completely makes players happy.

Whether it's the plot of the game or the content experience in the late game, it's actually a bit torturous. However, this torture will have an emotional release at the end, which will make the player's heart full of emotion, and they can empathize with the behavior of the star.

But at the end of the day, the game isn't just about making players happy, so it's bound to have an impact on sales.

But with a high rating, that's enough!

Now the MGC2 handheld platform lacks a super-high-rated masterpiece. Of course, there is also a lack of sales, and the current sales of handhelds can barely say that they are a niche entertainment equipment at most, but in the long run, what is even more lacking is a super-high-rated masterpiece!

Because high-rated works are a benchmark for the platform, other players ask, what games can you play on this handheld? You replied that "The Endless Tower" and "Dawn of Darkness" suddenly people didn't want to buy it. But if you answer that "Zodiac Guardian" with an IGP rating of 9.6 points? This forced grid went up in an instant.

What's more, Zhang Xiaoguang signed a gambling agreement with Shimmer Studio, how much sales are given, although sales are also important to him, they are far from the most important.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in, and said in a somewhat hesitant manner: "Mr. Lin, JA has also rejected our revisions to the second version......

"Dismissed ??? again" Lin Xiaoguang was stunned.

In response to the first version of "Dark Dawn", JA rejected it without saying a word, and his attitude was very resolute and he didn't change it!

At that time, "Zodiac Guardian" had not yet been launched, so Lin Xiaoguang asked his subordinates to submit revisions to the second version, and this time the revisions were not as complicated as the first version, but only provided some more trivial optimization content, and as a result, JA rejected it again!

Lin Xiaoguang was unhappy in an instant, but he quickly adjusted and waved his hand: "Forget it, if you don't change it, you won't change it, withdraw all the recommendations of "Dark Dawn" for me, and replace it with "Zodiac Guardian". Isn't it not changing? That's okay, don't ask for one recommendation, and all the ads have been withdrawn for me! ”

The assistant was stunned for a moment: "Uh, Mr. Lin, isn't this not very good......"

Lin Xiaoguang thought for a while: "Yes, then the most rubbish recommendation is to leave one for it." Go, go, go. ”

"Yes." The assistant exited.

Lin Xiaoguang felt that he was instantly stiff.

Before, I could only push "Dark Dawn" desperately, it was a short general, and there was really no taller.

"Dark Dawn" and "Endless Tower" basically monopolized some of the main promotional slots and promotional resources, and there was no way, because these two games were the most effective on the entire platform. Although "Dark Dawn" has many problems, who else can you push if you don't push it?

Now, with "Zodiac Guardian", it's different, all kinds of resources are going to be crazy tilted here, and it just so happens that Moya Technology and JAGames are at odds again, so needless to say, withdraw the publicity resources. Anyway, the exclusivity of "Dark Dawn" on the MGC2 handheld is almost up, and it is not worth much to continue to push it.

"Thanks to "Zodiac Guardian", it saved my life." Lin Xiaoguang said with heartfelt emotion.

If you didn't have this game, you can imagine how aggrieved you are now!

But now everything is different, these three months with "Zodiac Guardian" to escort the MGC2 handheld, maybe this handheld can really come back to life!

……

Shimmer Studio, too, was jubilant.

Because the evaluation on the Internet is so high, everyone will inevitably be a little floating.

Fu Xing'an sighed: "I really didn't expect the players' ratings to be so high, even the IGP rating is so high, it's so surprising!" ”

Jia Jia nodded: "Yes, IGP's previous rating for Huaxia Games has always been not very good, it seems that giving more than 7 points is considered a high score, but I didn't expect to give us 9.6 points directly!" ”

Zhong Ming smiled: "What's the matter, isn't this a matter of course?" In the past, Chinese games were too deliberately imitating Western games, on the surface, martial arts cultivated immortals, but the actual gameplay was sword and magic, and it was strange that Westerners could like it. "Zodiac Guardian" shows an exotic atmosphere, and Westerners still love this bite. ”

"Hey, I don't know what the sales data of the cassette is now, I see that the handheld is sold out on many shopping websites!" Jiang Wanna said.

During this time, the sales of MGC2 handheld computers have indeed ushered in a wave of skyrocketing, and many shopping websites are out of stock.

Because...... Moya Technology didn't produce so many handhelds, and it suddenly ushered in a wave of purchases, and it was normal to be out of stock.

The number of reservations before was only 60,000, and Moya didn't dare to shop too much even if it was a shop, so if it was overstocked, wouldn't it be a full loss? After the official release, the three games did not make any waves, so Moya Technology has no plans to replenish too much in the future.

Now, Lin Xiaoguang must be scratching his hair and urging everyone to hurry up mass production, but it will definitely take some time from urging to be in stock.

For the sales of the game, Zhong Ming is full of confidence.

With IGP's ultra-high score of 9.6 points here, the sales of "Zodiac Guardian" will definitely not be low. Even if the sales of the handheld platform cannot grow explosively in the first three months, as long as the ban is lifted after three months, the game will definitely be bought by a large number of PC players.

Players in the Chinese region still have a great preference for games with similar themes.

Just like the explosion of "Taiwu Picture Scroll" before, players in the Chinese region have been playing Western games, and their expectations for Chinese-style games can only be described as urgent. "Guardian of the Zodiac" is a game that has made a name for itself and fame all over the world, and players in the Chinese region will definitely support it.

In any case, this step is the right one, and it has suddenly made Shimmer Studio have a certain influence in the world, and its reputation in the Chinese region has been stabilized.

Relatively speaking, this time with Moya Technology is a mutual achievement, Zhong Ming used a god to help their handheld stabilize sales and reputation, on the other hand, Zhong Ming also needs Moya Technology to bring "Zodiac Guardian" to a higher height.

If it is to negotiate an agreement with some other platforms, it is definitely impossible to talk about the current favorable conditions, and Moya Technology is really working hard in the promotion and promotion of the game, and it is estimated that it will not have this effect if it is sent to other platforms.

Therefore, this time it can be said that it is a win-win situation, and the result far exceeds the original expectations of both parties.

……

At night.

Zhong Ming came home from work and opened the bracelet.

The mystery program above has reached more than 3600 points, which is enough for two 30-draw draws!

The two games developed by Zhong Ming, "Taiwu Picture Scroll" are all copied, with only a small amount of optimization; And "Zodiac Guardian" is a partial magic change, and the degree of originality is not high.

So, although both games have caused a lot of repercussions, and the sales have far exceeded the previous games, the points earned have not increased explosively.

Of course, more than 3600 points, which is already a lot. In the past, Zhong Ming used to take two or three hundred points, but now it has increased tenfold.

Don't say anything, let's draw!

After two 30 draws and a flash of brilliant special effects, various bonus icons begin to appear on the screen quickly, and then scroll down in rows.

Then, the duplicate icons are stacked up to become an item overview.

Universal Retriever: 10.

Building fruits: 12.

Musical fruits: 15.

Psychological fruits: 10.

Stamina fruits: 10 pcs.

Potent tranquilizer: 2 pcs.

Short Crossing Capsule: 1 pc.

"Huh? There are quite a lot of new items. ”

Zhong Ming took a look at the descriptions of several new props.

The building fruit and the psychological fruit are two new fruits, but I didn't say what skills I would improve.

Looking at these more than 40 fruits, Zhong Ming was a little worried, and it was estimated that he would have to eat them all for a week.

It's easy to learn some new skills!

[Powerful Calming Elixir: After use, it clears your mind and sharpens your mind, and greatly reduces your sense of fear for 24 hours. 】

[Brief Crossing Capsule: After taking it, it allows you to briefly travel to a dream, which comes from your imagination when you are awake. 】

"These new props are getting more and more wicked."

Zhong Ming complained twice, first save everything that should be saved, such as universal retrievers, powerful tranquilizers, and short-term passage capsules, which are not very useful for the time being, so they are stuffed in the bracelet first, and then take them when you use them.

Those fruits couldn't be eaten all in one go, so Zhong Ming first found a building fruit.

This fruit is quite strange, boxy, with many square holes on it, and it looks like a miniature building. After peeling the skin, I took a bite and felt that it was similar to the taste of dragon fruit.

After eating the fruits of architecture, Zhong Ming felt a lot of architectural knowledge instantly pour into his mind.

"It's still useful, and in the future, I will definitely use architectural knowledge to make some complex scenes of large-scale games."

In addition to the building fruit, the physical energy fruit is also urgently needed by Zhong Ming.

After eating a physical strength fruit last time, Zhong Ming felt that his body had improved significantly, he was much more energetic, and his body's various functions had also improved.

This time, I don't know if I can eat ten more human energy fruits, can I eat some muscles?

……

The next day, Zhong Ming received a phone call, which was an interview invitation from Xingyou.com.

Xingyou.com was also shocked by the high rating of "Guardian of the Zodiac", so the website wanted to arrange an interview for Zhong Ming and the entire Shimmer studio to report on the amazing studio that developed several classic games in less than a year.

Yes, in terms of the achievements of Shimmer Studio, it is already worthy of the word "magical", the first 3D game got a score of 9.6 points on IGP, and a score of 9.5 points on Xingyou.com, crushing a number of Western masterpieces, which is already a thing that no one can ignore.

Zhong Ming accepted this interview, after all, as an influential Chinese website in China, Xingyou.com has always been known for its strict and high standards of game evaluation, and such an interview is actually very conducive to enhancing the reputation of Shimmer Studio.

The reputation spreads, and if you go to talk about cooperation with other companies in the future, you will naturally have more weight in the right to speak.

Zhong Ming made an appointment with the reporter from Xingyou.com and scheduled an exclusive interview the morning after tomorrow.

After making an appointment, Zhong Ming stood up and announced the news to everyone.

"At 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, people from Xingyou.com will come over to do an interview with our studio, everyone remembers that they all wore a little more formal that day, but don't come like they usually wear slippers."

It's now close to May, and the weather here is getting warmer, and many of the shoes worn by the program have changed from sneakers to sandals or slippers.

Of course, Zhong Ming doesn't have any special hard requirements for this, the atmosphere of the game company is relatively relaxed, unlike investment banks or financial commuters who have to have suits and leather shoes, but it's an exclusive interview, so you have to make a little show, otherwise this photo will make people think that Shimmer Studio is just a small workshop, and it is not formal in all aspects, which is not good.

As soon as I heard the news, everyone came to the spirits.

"Xingyou.com? You want to interview us?? ”

"Wow, are we going to be on fire!"

"Do you want to ask questions?"

"Boss, why didn't you say it earlier, is it too late to place an order to buy new clothes now?"

Zhong Ming was speechless to this group of actors: "Don't be so concerned, the main thing here in the studio is to take a few photos, and maybe interview a few people randomly, mainly to interview me ......"

As soon as they heard that they were going to be interviewed, everyone was obviously much more excited.

Making games, in fact, is a relatively boring job most of the time.

Of course, most of the fun things can be boring once they turn into work, and not just games.

Therefore, when it is usually more interesting, it is to try it out by yourself after the game is completed, or to see the praise of other players, which is more enjoyable.

These interviews with Xingyou.com make everyone feel that Shimmer Studio is now thriving and becoming more and more well-known, which is of course a very happy thing.

……

At noon, Lin Xiaoguang called Zhong Ming.

"Teacher Zhong, do you have time to have a meal together recently? I've been quite busy lately, otherwise I would have had this celebration on the day the IGP score came out! ”

Zhong Mingyile: "Mr. Lin, why don't you hurry up and grab the production capacity to solve the problem of the shortage of handhelds, and are you still in the mood to eat?" ”

"Hey, hurry, I didn't expect it to be like this!" Lin Xiaoguang's tone was obviously still a little troubled, but it was just a happy trouble.

"Rice, don't be in a hurry to eat first, Mr. Lin, you can prepare the cost of the sole generation, the sales of "Zodiac Guardian" will definitely not be bad, don't hurt your flesh." Zhong Ming quipped.

Lin Xiaoguang laughed: "Pain? That can't be, what does Mr. Zhong plan to do in his next game? Can I make a reservation first? The group of users in our handheld computer are still looking forward to your new games every day. ”

"Reservations? That's impossible. As you know, Shimmer Studios is now a world-renowned boutique studio. Haha, just kidding, the new game doesn't have a word, I'll talk about it later. Maybe this time it will be sent directly to the PC side.,Let's talk about it then.。 ”

Zhong Ming exchanged a few words of greeting with Lin Xiaoguang and exchanged a few congratulations.

Zhong Ming couldn't help but sigh, although he said that the asking price was not low this time, he really couldn't afford to take the profit of the hardware.

Although Moya Technology has made a lot of profits, it has also benefited a lot from this cooperation.

Shimmer Studio's current financial resources are not good, and it is a bit of a fool's dream to engage in hardware by itself, but there is no need to worry, with the current development speed, this is a matter of time.
