Chapter 66 Twenty-Four Hour Sales
As the most famous game review website abroad, you can find reviews on almost any game released on this website.
Although there may be some possibilities for advertising and PR, IGN can be called authoritative compared to other game review sites.
"Here, I can tell my own story, I can write my destiny, and I can fulfill my dreams brick by brick." That's the description posted by IGN, and it seems to be the most suitable interpretation of this game.
At the same time, IGN also posted various ratings.
Overall feeling of 5.0 points: Minecraft's menus are pretty good, but the game's lack of built-in help information and the complexity of the multiplayer game it opens, as well as the high difficulty of getting started and the need for a period of adaptation make it a little dull in the early stages.
Graphics 8.5 points: Maybe at first glance, you will think that this game is a mosaic world, but it can give people a very deep impact, or because the tools used to make this game may be hard, but the graphics are definitely not bad.
Sound performance 8.0 points: Most of the background music in the game of "Minecraft" is more oriental music, beautiful melodies, although sometimes do not match the background, but like the picture can give people a deep impression.
Hands-on experience 9.0 points: a great game, an incredible game, you can do it here if you want to play shooting, you can do it if you want to play adventure, in short, you can do everything you want to do in this game.
10 points for playability: This is what more than 80% of us in the company agree that if you don't like this world, you can enter the game and create a new world of your own, the only thing that makes you feel that this game is boring, and that is only one reason, your imagination has reached the end.
Overall rating of 9.5: Amazing.
Final comment: As with any game in the past, we'll be running for more than 72 hours before releasing the review, but forgive us, we've only played for less than two hours so far, and there was an update to the game in between, but we can't wait to post this review.
Maybe you're not as passionate about exploring the unknown as I am, and maybe you don't feel the great satisfaction I felt when I first built my own house.
If so, then you probably won't like Minecraft, but that's okay.
Minecraft surpasses all the games I've ever known, it's not limited to one specific way to play, it's an open world, a blank sheet of paper on which you can do whatever you want.
In Minecraft, the theme of the game is not "how can I win, how can I win", but how to make your dreams come true.
On top of that, the game company has recently launched a mod editor, and it may not be long before you can play something even more amazing in this game.
Originally, many players who were still watching this game were still hesitating, after all, whether it was a domestic or global digital platform, Steam, the price was 19.9 US dollars, which was converted into 126 yuan.
This is only the digital version, as for the domestic physical version, the price is as high as 199 yuan.
Compared with the general domestic digital game of 50 yuan, and the physical version of the game of nearly 100 yuan, it is much more expensive.
However, unlike other games, the physical version of the game that Zhao Hao licensed to Han Dong for release does not have anything like a deluxe version.
But after seeing the evaluation on IGN, those players who were still a little hesitant chose to order without hesitation.
Twenty-four hours later, the sales of the game about 'Minecraft' have also been counted, with nearly 80,000 copies sold on Steam, and about 50,000 copies sold in total according to the data given by Han Dong plus the sales data on the online store.
For a studio like Zhao Hao, such an achievement can be regarded as an existence against the sky.
And according to IGN's evaluation above, this sales will continue to rise.
After all, although the game has just come out, some players are still in the state of the official website and did not start immediately, or simply some players who focus on steam are ready to wait for half a year and a year after the special offer on steam.
But even so, the 80,000 copies on Steam, and the 50,000 copies in China, a total of 130,000 copies of 24-hour sales, is already a luxury data.
Even some old game manufacturers in China have no way to achieve this sales, according to this 24-hour sales, it may be a little difficult to estimate that it will reach one million sales in the world in a month, but it is absolutely no problem to sell more than 500,000 in a month.
And the most important thing is that both the digital version on Steam and the physical version are twice as expensive as the domestic pricing.
Therefore, if it is calculated according to domestic pricing, the game produced by Zhao Hao's studio has already sold more than 300,000 in 24 hours.
"Excluding the tax burden, as well as Steam and Han Dong's share, I was able to earn nearly $800,000 on this day alone." Zhao Hao calculated and couldn't help but gasp.
That's just a 24-hour payout, and it's only going to get higher as the game progresses.
"Brother Zhao, the server is a little insufficient." When Zhao Hao arrived at the studio, Liu Dong looked at Zhao Hao and couldn't help but hurriedly say.
"Then go and increase the server, and now our studio is definitely not bad for money, Liu Dong will give you a big red envelope." Zhao Hao said with a smile.
Liu Dong, Guo Zhi, Wang Han, these old employees who have followed themselves from the beginning of the studio, Zhao Hao all wrapped a red envelope, even Zhou Qing and Li Qiang, Zhao Hao also wrapped a red envelope.
It's just that the weight is not as high as Liu Dong and the others.
"It's time for the studio to think about expanding." Zhao Hao looked at the happy crowd and couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.
There are indeed not enough manpower, if you want to do a game like 'Minecraft', these manpower are naturally almost enough, but Zhao Hao has no such plans.
For a game like 'Minecraft', just one game is enough.
Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the graphics will always be an obstacle that the game can't overcome, and you have to keep up with the mainstream of this industry so that you won't be eliminated.
A game like 'Minecraft' that relies on innovation to kill a piece of the world is too few and too little, and a little bit of innovation and good enough graphics are enough to represent a big hit of the game.
In any case, the expansion of the studio is inevitable.
It's just that this time Zhao Hao doesn't plan to recruit all students, because their skills are really limited, and the game Zhao Hao is going to make next is not like 'Minecraft', a game that needs to be innovated, but does not require too much technology.
However, the source of this employee still has to be introduced by someone touching his chin Zhao Hao said secretly in his heart.
