Chapter 168: Ready to go online (for the alliance leader, let's ~ keep silent and add 1/5)
A new week.
"All the bugs are fixed?"
"Well, just a few small bugs, and some optimizations, it's done tonight."
"Hey, by the way, Zhong Ming, has the game been reviewed?"
"It's over, it's all ages."
In addition to the game content, Zhong Ming also entrusted a special agency to complete the game review of "Latent Red Path".
The world's game review standards are globally unified, after all, there is only one official body that governs these things.
The name of the organization is "Entertainment Softare Rating Organization", which translates into Chinese as "Entertainment Software Rating Organization", or ESRO for short.
This agency has different audit standards according to the situation of each district, because different regions have different ethnic compositions, customs and habits, so there will be some differences in the audit rules.
Of course, the audit standards are generally similar in each region.
"Latent Red Path" is a relatively ordinary text-based adventure historical game in this world, with no exposed, violent scenes, and no racial discrimination, so there are no review problems.
All the preparations went smoothly, and Zhong Ming prepared some extra money, planning to buy some more basic publicity positions.
The price of the game is only ten yuan, and different game platforms may have some discount strategies, and on average, each player earns three or four yuan.
Of course, the only question is whether the players will accept it.
"Okay, there shouldn't be any problems, call it a day, and put it on the shelves tomorrow."
Zhong Ming ran the whole game again, and after making sure that there was no problem, Zhou Sen could seal the package.
There is no special test group, so Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen will make a cameo appearance in the test, but fortunately, the technology in this world is developed, and the artificial intelligence program can also undertake part of the test work, so the workload is not so large.
"Let's go back and have a good rest today, the game won't be on the shelves until 2pm tomorrow, just come over before then. It's okay to wait if you come early, it's not interesting. ”
Zhong Ming sent the two of them away, and ran the game from beginning to end again.
Although I know that this game is a masterpiece, no one can say whether players will like it or not.
You won't know until the game hits the shelves.
……
The next morning, Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna arrived early.
"Didn't I tell you to come back at noon?" Zhong Ming was a little surprised.
Zhou Sen sat down on the sofa: "Hey, how can you sit still at home, I can't wait." ”
Zhong Mingle said: "But you came early, and the game can't be launched in the morning." ”
Jiang Wanna said: "Then we have to witness this historic moment together, it is the first game of Shimmer Studio, which is very commemorative." ”
"If you were in other companies, some key projects would celebrate the completion of development before they went live, wishing the game a big sale, and some might even leave a video footage. Hey, yes, video! ”
Zhou Sen suddenly remembered something and opened the bracelet: "Come, I'll shoot a small video to record this critical moment." ”
Zhou Sen took a turn around the studio with his bracelet, patted Zhong Ming and Jiang Wanna, and patted the environment of the studio.
Jiang Wanna was speechless: "Don't shoot, it's a mess in the studio." ”
"What a mess, it's very neat, okay?" Zhou Sen took a short video, which can be regarded as a record of this historic moment.
Jiang Wanna opened the bracelet and found the crowdgame market.
"Hey, have there been so many appointments? Already on the recommended position? ”
Jiang Wanna was a little surprised, because the game's detail page showed that more than 30,000 people had already pre-registered.
"Not yet, noon. That's all the traffic I've pulled. Zhong Ming said.
Zhou Sen was shocked: "Can you bring more than 30,000 people to make an appointment??" How many followers do you have to have! ”
Zhong Ming smiled: "Is it much?" I'm not too little. ”
Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna are usually busy with work, and they don't have time to pay attention to things on Weibo, so of course they don't know much about Zhong Ming's new stalks.
Of course, because this stalk doesn't have such a good soil in this world, it shouldn't be the scale of Liuxue, but it's just a small-scale spread, and it can also attract many players to make appointments.
But then again, an appointment is an appointment, and it's hard to say how many people actually pay for it.
The first 10% of the game is free to play, but you'll have to pay to continue playing it later.
"I don't have the money to go to the big channels, so I can only make do with it. Thanks to Zhong Ming, you can bring in players, otherwise it's really hard to do. Zhou Sen said with emotion.
The crowdgame market belongs to a medium-sized channel and belongs to a niche platform, but relatively speaking, the reputation is not bad.
Some big game platforms are very expensive in terms of promotion and recommendation, and the overall target player base is not particularly in line with the target players of "Latent Red Path". And now it's just a test of the waters, if the reputation is good and the sales are good, you can talk to other channels and platforms.
Now the game has no reputation, Shimmer Studio is not famous, and it has no right to speak on some big platforms.
In Zhong Ming's view, the game platforms and channels in this world are also full of chaos, and they are fighting with those in the previous life. There is no big channel provider that unifies the world, and there is no official game platform.
The official of this world, that is, ESRO, is actually only responsible for the review and grading of games, and does not mix with game channels and sales, which can be said to be a relatively pure regulatory department.
Of course, this also leads to the survival of many independent game studios in a worse soil, large channels cannot be accessed, and small channels are all kinds of exploitation and oppression, and all kinds of irregularities.
At noon, the game was about to be put on the shelves, and Zhong Ming didn't have the heart to cook, so he ordered a takeout casually to solve it.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the person in charge of the promotion of the game platform sent a message.
"The 2-point game is officially open for download, and at the same time, it is recommended to be a high-quality game in the text adventure category."
Zhong Ming replied: "Okay." ”
After that, I didn't believe it.
The person in charge of these game platforms is dragged like 2580,000 one by one, and generally there will be no special circumstances and they will never say a word more.
If there is a special case, it is usually something wrong with the promotional materials prepared, and then he scolds you very angrily.
The attitude of the personnel responsible for docking will be better, but generally newcomers who have just joined the company will be more polite, and all old fritters have a big temper.
In the eyes of these channel providers, a small game studio will not be in the eyes at all, because there are many game studios, although there is a lack of good games, but the shocking good games are rare, and most of the small platforms at the meeting are independent games that have no resources and the games will not be particularly brilliant.
Since pushing any of them is almost profitable, of course, all studios will be polite and dare not offend.
Zhong Ming was also speechless, this recommendation was obviously bought with money, and his attitude was so bad.
It can only be said that the game platform with a good reputation is not every employee is good-tempered.
