"Game manufacturers are looking for me to advertise? Why didn't he go to those well-known UP masters, anchors? Looking for me instead? ”

Yang Ye had some conditioned reflexes when he heard the word advertisement, and he immediately felt a little resistant in his heart. There are many ways to make money, and although video ad sponsorship is the fastest, it is actually the lowest.

Ning Weiwei said: "What else can it be, why do you think the developers of the game are as rich as this "Greasy Senior Sister", they are just a small factory, and the funds are obviously not enough, so we can only find us who are cheaper!" ”

Yang Ye nodded: "So, what is their game called, what type?" Has it already been released? ”

For these dream chasers who really love games, Yang Ye is still very willing to give some modest help.

Although he didn't think it would be of much use to just find himself.

Ning Weiwei said: "The game is called "Sword God", it is a 2D side-scrolling action game, which has been released on the steam platform, priced at 58 yuan, compared to those games that cost hundreds of yuan, it is still quite conscientious. ”

Then she changed her words: "But then again, the game "Greasy Sister" is too bad, it's completely different from what was advertised, I didn't expect so many people to play, and I was deceived into playing, what happened to these people now?" Isn't it picky to play games at all? ”

"But this kind of messy game will definitely not last long."

"Sword God? Let me take a look? ”

Yang Ye didn't pick up the following words, but searched on the steam platform, and soon found the game "Sword God", which was launched last month, and it has been almost a month now, but the sales don't look good, and only a few thousand sets have been sold so far.

The main page of "Sword God" looks very simple, and the game screen is pitiful, but the score below this game is quite good, with a praise rate of more than 99%, Yang Ye clicked in and took a look, and found that a large number of reviews were written in foreign languages.

There are language evaluations in various countries, and if he hadn't obtained [language proficiency], he would definitely not be able to understand it.

Without exception, these reviews are okay, indicating that they like this rich oriental-style game, and there are far more words of praise than denigration.

On the contrary, there are not many Chinese reviews, according to Yang Ye's judgment, it should not be that domestic players do not like it, but it is indeed good wine and afraid of deep alleys, this game knows that there are definitely not many people.

It cost 58 RMB to click on the purchase and then download.

In this world with a developed game industry, although pirated games cannot be said to be extinct, they are certainly relatively rare, and the majority of players are willing to buy genuine games.

At the same time, he searched the Internet for information about the game "Sword God".

Sure enough, on the Internet, there is very little discussion about the game "Sword God", and it is safe to say that the vast majority of players have never heard of this game at all.

"How about it, are you interested, do you want me to give you the contact information of the producer, he is also your fan!"

Ning Weiwei's words were in an inquiring tone, and WeChat had already pushed the other party's business card over!

After eating the ice cream, she is going back to continue the live broadcast!

Yang Ye clicked on the business card, and the other party called the Sword God Game, plus a friend, and passed in an instant.

At this time, Ning Weiwei walked back in a circle.

Yang Ye asked curiously, "Didn't you go back to the live broadcast?" ”

Ning Weiwei sighed: "Alas! Don't mention it, I just landed in a box! I didn't expect that my teammates hadn't died after so long, and OB was really uncomfortable! ”

……

Sword God Game is also the name of the development company of the game "Sword God", and this person is also the owner of the company, the game producer - Guo Jian.

Guo Jian first revealed that he was a big fan of Ning Weiwei and Yang Ye, and then began to tell his story.

Although Guo Jian is nominally the boss of Sword God Games, in fact, the company was founded by him and several of his college classmates who shared the same dream, and they agreed to develop their own games together after graduation as early as when they were students.

After graduating, they also began to work together to achieve their dreams.

None of them are the kind of rich people, and their family conditions are quite average, and in the early days of game development, they rented a garage as a base, and worked during the day, part-time on weekends, and game development at night.

In this way, the game continued to be produced for two years, during which time it received investment from a rich second-generation game enthusiast, who didn't have to work part-time to make the game at the same time, rented an office, and devoted themselves to development.

On the eve of the game's launch and the start of publicity, the rich second-generation investor's family had financial problems, and all the funds were withdrawn, leaving them with only the hastily completed game and an office with less than a month's rent remaining.

In desperation, they had to find a way to issue it themselves.

After stumbling on the steam platform, it was reviewed again and again, and it took a long time for "Sword God" to be officially launched.

However, the games launched on the platform every month are like countless carps across the river, and they don't have enough publicity funds, so they can only watch the sales of "Sword God" decrease every day, so the share they get is even lower and terrible.

They don't care if they make less money, but the games they make can't be known to everyone is what they can't stand the most.

Moreover, the office rent is about to expire, and they have no way out.

So they sold some of the company's equipment, scraped together some money, and planned to find a channel for a wave of publicity.

They first found some well-known video authors, but the advertising prices of these authors were extremely high, often 100,000 yuan per video, and they really couldn't afford it.

In the end, Guo Jian found a newcomer in the game video circle, Yang Ye, through Ning Weiwei's channel.

"I need a little time to think about it, so I'll get back to you next Monday before the new video is released!"

After listening to the other party's story, Yang Ye gave an answer.

To be honest, no matter how painful the other party said was to tears, Yang Ye could only sympathize at most, what he really valued was still the quality of the game.

After the conversation, he also looked at the computer screen, and the game "Sword God" was downloaded, and he went straight to the game.

After playing, he actually had a feeling that he couldn't stop.

This is a side-scrolling action game with some traces of Castlevania, the story is set in the Ming Dynasty, and the protagonist is a warrior who uses a sword as a weapon.

The overall art style of the game is a bit dark, and the handling of the scene is very elegant, and it is clear that a lot of thought has been put into it.

Especially the characters in the game, whether it is the protagonist or the enemy or the boss, everyone's clothing and weapons are obviously not thought up out of thin air, and obviously have the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.

However, what surprised Yang Ye the most was the sense of blow in the game, the fists were so bloody that the knives were bloody, but they did not make people feel bloody and violent, but they also had an indescribable sense of beauty.

The game has a certain degree of difficulty.,BOSS battles require some operational requirements.,The makers were obviously influenced by the old-fashioned games in the early years.,This game doesn't have the function of archiving.,The characters only have three blood bars in total.,Killing monsters and bosses will restore a certain amount of blood.,If you're dead.,You'll have to start over.。

This is clearly a hardcore game aimed at hardcore side-scrolling action gamers.

There are three levels in the game, and after spending more than an hour of playing the game, Yang Ye found that he actually had a feeling of unfinished.

With this feeling, Yang Ye has a hunch that this game can be popular!
