"Why are you here to buy clothes? It's not your personality at all. ”

Walking on the second floor of the sparsely populated Emperor Shopping Center, Zhao Nuo asked Xia Xiaoling, who was walking in front, a question.

"It's Xiaobai, doesn't she live with me, she needs clothes to wear." Xia Xiaoling explained.

"Oh, I see." Zhao Nuo nodded clearly, and then stopped:

"The daughter of the CEO of Supernova doesn't even have clothes to wear? Are you kidding me? ”

"She came in a hurry, and she didn't bring any clothes."

"Oh, I see."

As they spoke, the two of them had already scribbled around the clothing stores that had already opened nearby, and they didn't find anything of interest, but for game nerds, this kind of thing is actually normal.

Sitting on the bench not far from the escalator, Zhao Nuo and Xia Xiaoling glanced at each other, and then asked in unison:

"Are you going to play a game?"

“……”

The two were silent for a moment, and then they both burst out laughing.

"Let's go?" Zhao Nuo stood up and stretched out his right hand to the "eldest lady" in front of him.

"Okay." Xia Xiaoling nodded seriously.

When the two game houses came to the large game hall on the fifth floor, they saw that there was a strange silence here, and there were not many people who came to play games early in the morning, only a few people were distributed in the "coin pushing" machine next to it, trying to exchange a few coins for a large number of "treasures" accumulated inside.

Just like the last time she came, Xia Xiaoling was still under the surprised gaze of the staff, took the suitcase full of coins that the two waitresses lifted tremblingly, easily carried the box in her hand with one hand, and said to Zhao Nuo: "Let's go." ”

Seeing her walk in front of a racing game machine, open the box and take out a handful of game coins and put them on the machine, Zhao Nuo suddenly felt that this machine was a little familiar, and asked:

"The machine you got from 'Cloud Heaven' last time also has this, right? Why still play here? ”

When I went to G City before, I only needed a copy of the "House of Dead 4 Special Edition" for the abandoned arcade in the cloud paradise game hall, and gave Xia Xiaoling all the rest. Now in Xia Xiaoling's home, there should be most of the machines here.

"I don't feel like playing at home, so it's better to be here." On this kind of "key issue", Xia Xiaoling was rarely stern. Even at the last moment when "Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms" was about to be released, she was not so strict.

However, speaking of which, Zhao Nuo is also very concerned about the current progress:

"How's the demo going now?" He asked.

Xia Xiaoling, who was already sitting on the black soft chair with the steering wheel and pedals in her hands, nodded and said, "It's very smooth, it will definitely be released next Wednesday...... Ah, don't hit me......"

"Ha, you play first, I'll go over there and have a look."

Seeing that Xia Xiaoling had completely entered the state of concentration in the game, Zhao Nuo stood up and walked to the side to look for other machines.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to take some game currency from Xia Xiaoling's suitcase.

Carrying dozens of heavy metal coins, sitting on a chair in front of an old "Three Kingdoms" machine, Zhao Nuo did not immediately start playing the game as usual, but was still thinking about the next thing:

Unlike the last fateful "Legend of the Great Three Kingdoms War", which almost leaked the full version to the Internet, this time the production process of this Smash Bros. type fighting game can be described as surprisingly smooth.

Although the game has not released the main information so far, only a few impression pictures have been released, but the discussion among online players is already fierce. Many people are speculating about what kind of game Hellfire Entertainment will launch this time. In addition, I am also very curious about the "new marketing method" revealed by the official.

In fact, the marketing method of this game is not completely determined at the moment, but if nothing else, it will probably use the "paid battle platform" model proposed by itself.

Although you only pay for the battle mode, if the single-player mode is completely free-to-play, the revenue of the game may be lower. However, this work is not an "epic masterpiece" in the first place, but a "trial work" made for the members of the company to practice. The cost itself is not too high, and it is not easy to lose money.

What's more, Zhao Nuo believes that this game will not lose money this time, because he is very confident in the quality of the game.

"Fuel guzzler!"

Not far away, two children who look like they should be only about ten years old are happily fighting against Super Street Fighter 4. Seeing the little boy who was close to him having fun, Zhao Nuo stood behind him and watched the scene on the screen.

The image on the arcade screen shows a fiery Killing Intent Takashi fighting the street fighter's signature villain "Police" on the other side. The two sides are currently fighting fiercely, and the two children look quite serious.

"Hah, you had a pretty good time."

Zhao Nuo, who was rare to meet opponents in fighting games, looked at the battle screen on the screen and smiled slightly, but suddenly thought of something.

- Fighting games on the computer, after all, belong to a niche category, if you can transplant it to the arcade machine, or make a matching joystick......

Now this fighting game made of hellfire zuò is already of excellent quality, in addition to being sold on the battle platform, if you want to make money, there are actually other ways:

"System zuò" game peripherals. ”

I don't know if the specially decorated external joystick is considered a peripheral product, but if the Hellfire company becomes bigger, sooner or later it will involve the production and sales of game peripherals, so it's not impossible to test the water with this exercise.

Thinking of this, Zhao Nuo immediately returned to Xia Xiaoling's side, only to see that the girl had just finished a race and was in a daze at the "1ST" ranking on the arcade screen, so she hurriedly said:

"Do you want to make zuò game merchandise?"

"Huh?" Xia Xiaoling had a confused look on her fair little face, wrinkled her nose and asked, "What?" ”

"How about making an exclusive external joystick for this fighting game?" Zhao Nuo immediately said the inspiration he had just gotten.

"Will anyone buy the joystick?" Xia Xiaoling's expression was still very confused.

Considering the sales problem, Zhao Nuo also paused for a moment. Then I thought of the "hunger marketing" written in the advertising book I saw in order to deal with the mafia, and immediately had a new plan:

"You can consider making a limited edition. For example, if it's limited to 100 sets or something, you don't think we can't even sell out 100 sets, right? ”

"Ah......h

After Zhao Nuo finished speaking, Xia Xiaoling paused, blinked slowly, and nodded:

"Okay, listen to Zhao Nuo."

"Well, leave it to me." Zhao Nuo said and took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the Black Hand.

It's time to add something new to your marketing strategy. R1152
