077. English version?
Soon, Stardew Valley was available on Steam worldwide in $10 Early Access...... Except domestic.
After all, the domestic agency was taken away by Tencent because of the reason for participating in the competition, and Liu Xi does not plan to put it on the shelves in China, so it is easy to be sprayed into a dog by domestic players.
It's still a foreign player who is so foolish, at least he won't be sprayed like a dog.
The NPC's actions are only half complete, and the remaining NPCs, such as the homeless man at the top of the map, are left to stand honestly in place.
It's barely a version that can be released.,Liu Xi thinks that today's version has probably completed half of the game content.,Although the bug didn't have time to find and fix anything.,But when Liu Xi tried it for a long time,,I feel that except for the art style that is a little rough because it's drawn by myself.,Character movements are still a little stiff.,It's basically good.。
The game is on the shelves.
Liu Xi sat nervously in front of the computer, constantly refreshing the real-time data, and then suddenly remembered a very important thing.
"That, Qian Kun......"
"How?" Qian Kun, who was hurrying to troubleshoot the BUG, raised his head and looked at her.
"Our game...... It doesn't seem to have an English version, right? ”
“……”
Suddenly, the whole studio fell silent.
To be honest, because Liu Xi has always paid attention to whether the game has Chinese when playing steam games in her previous life, and has never cared about whether there is English, as a result, when making the game, she actually completely forgot about this matter.
"Which of you speaks good English? Hurry up and make the English version! ”
Liu Xi jumped up and hurriedly commanded: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Aim to launch the English version within a day! It's strange that the Chinese version can be sold abroad, okay! ”
"But my English is only half-baked......
"I don't speak English very well."
"CET-4 in college English, but I forgot it all after graduation."
Aren't you programmers? Doesn't it mean that programmers need to stay at the forefront of the world at all times and need to constantly read foreign programming materials? Why don't you even know English?
"That's okay! Machine flip one! ”
Liu Xi sat down again with a dark face.
Let foreign friends also feel the fear of machine flipping?
After thinking about it, she reluctantly continued: "Find a sinicization group and let them make the version ......"
"Boss, what's the budget?" Qian Kun lowered his head and put aside the things at hand for the time being, ready to find the famous 4DM to help sinicization.
"Let's see what they offer."
Liu Xi glanced at the real-time data on the screen and found that it had been three hours since the game was released, but no one had purchased it in any region.
Maybe it's just on the shelves so no one notices?
She opened the American steam store, and used the mouse to manipulate the screen to come to the "New and Popular" column, and found that Stardew Valley was not hanging on it, could it be that the system was convulsed? Or did you not react at all?
Liu Xi was stunned and looked at the computer screen with one hand on his cheek, not knowing what to do.
Originally, Liu Xi still felt very nervous when Stardew Valley was first put on the shelves, but now he has been nervous for several hours, and there is no sales, but suddenly he doesn't feel anything.
Since no one buys it, then it doesn't matter, she can only hope that next month's manuscript fee can tide her over the difficulties.
Anyway, it's already poor, and if 4DM asks for a sky-high price, Liu Xi can't do anything at all.
She didn't have the money to make an English version of Stardew Valley, and she had less than 10,000 left in her body......
If she had just crossed over, she would have gone crazy with joy with 10,000 on her body, but now, with 10,000 in hand, she only had endless insecurities.
It's so unsafe! In case of any accident, the 10,000 yuan will not play any role at all.
She stood up and prepared to leave.
When she walked to the gate and was about to put on her shoes and leave, she suddenly heard an exclamation behind her.
"There's a sales volume in the U.S. region! Our first game was sold! ”
Qian Kun's whole body jumped, although he seemed to be concentrating on fixing bugs just now, but in fact, he was still very concerned about his first stand-alone game.
"Really? it! Xie Bin leaned in, looking at the 1 on the real-time sales side, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it was sold, if there is the first person to buy it, there must be a second person." ”
Liu Xi hurriedly ran back at this time, poked her head out and looked at the screen, and at this time, she watched the sales jump from 1 to 2 with her own eyes.
"Hurry up! Check the STEAM store in the United States, whether Stardew Valley is a new product! ”
"It's already being refreshed! A bit of a card! Sitting in front of his computer, he also looked excited.
However, when the store page was swiped, his excited look disappeared all at once.
"No, I didn't give a new product, maybe it's just two people who just happened to see Stardew Valley."
"I received a refund application, saying that I couldn't play without English......" Qian Kun interjected in frustration.
“.…..”
Gotta have a good time.
Liu Xi also hopes that the first game made by him, a time-traveler, can be like those time-traveler predecessors, which shocked the four seats as soon as it appeared, and then sold hundreds of thousands on the first day.
However, Stardew Valley got into trouble as soon as she appeared, and most players also voted bad reviews on the game, and now not many people on the Internet are optimistic about her game.
The sales volume that hit the shelves for three hours on the first day was two, and one opted for a refund.
It's, it's fucked up!
Liu Xi shook her head in despair, it seemed that early access would not make her much money.
She turned away again and instructed, "Send me a chart of today's sales before you go to bed." ”
"Got it."
Leaving the studio, Liu Xi stood in the elevator blankly, with his back against the wall, his head like a piece of paste.
I don't know what to do next.
I knew I wouldn't make a game.,What a game! As soon as I make a game, my money is like being thrown into the water, and I can only listen to the sound, and when I turn around, the money is lost. Originally, I concentrated on writing novels, and after writing for a year, the money I earned would definitely be able to buy a house......
If Stardew Valley fails, then the hundreds of thousands of dollars you put into this game will be wasted.
Can't fail! At least you can't let yourself go bankrupt.
Liu Xi was originally full of confidence that this game could bring her tens of millions of income, but now, she only hopes that the early version of Stardew Valley can sell a thousand copies before payroll, so that she still has money to pay Qian Kun and them.
