Chapter Twenty-Nine: Earning a lot
"Beast Soccer: Origins" sold more than 30,000 units on the first day!
When Su Mo was woken up by Bo Sai and saw the number, he was stunned for a moment. He vaguely remembered that the number in his dream was to sell more than one million sets on the first day, and although there was a big difference between 30,000 and 1 million, Su Mo couldn't help but laugh.
"30,000 units are $900,000! It's been earned! This is the first day, and "Beast Football: Origins" is going to be popular!"
Su Mo can't wait to log on to the Steam community to see what players who have purchased the game have to say about the game. As the saying goes, the customer is God, and since you cheat God out of your money, you have to satisfy most of God.
"Strange football game, a bit bloody and violent, I chose the machine qì team, extremely awesome!"
"Typical title party, this is not a football game, this is a role-playing game!"
"'Dark Souls' fascinated me, 'Beast Football' is about half the level of 'Dark Souls', and it's worth a try."
"This game, how to say it, I chose the opening of the earthling team, not to mention the slow upgrade, and the online mode was directly wiped out! Earthlings don't give it a hand!"
"Ghosts, the invisible army on the field! My team can score 100 goals in a game!"
"This is not a football game, and again, this is not a football game! It's a fucking collection of multiple genres! Role-playing, shooting, competition, sand table, strategy, everything you need is there, and all aspects are not bad. Except, of course, football. This game should be changed to a title, changed to "Beast Battlegrounds: Origins"!"
"Garbage, I give 0 points! Dry Goat Star Studio!"
"Shit is not as good as that! Goat Star out of the gaming world!"
Look at the comments one by one,Most of them are praise,Su Mo is very satisfied,Obviously, this time "Beast Football" is different from the studio's previous two works, this one not only has a gorgeous opening CG, but also the actual game content, just the online mode, is enough for players to play for a while.
All in all, this is a game with high playability with connotation.
After reading a lot of reviews, Su Mo noticed that none of the reviews mentioned the Goat Star Demon Clan in the game, and it seems that no player has unlocked this race yet. As you can imagine, once unlocked, most players will choose the Goat Star Demon Clan as their team race in online mode!
Goat Star Demon Clan, the strongest race in Beast Football: Origins! There is no other reason, because the game is made by the sentry machine, and the sentry is the crystallization of goat star technology. In the Sentinel system, it is clear that the goats are regarded as the most awesome race.
"Very good, this is a good start, Bosai, when the total sales are stable, we must reward the sentinel, buy a few BMWs for it to eat, eat more and upgrade more!"
Without a doubt, Sentinels are the biggest contributors, and without Sentinels there would be no Goat Star Studios, and there would be no Beast Soccer Origins, and Sentinels must be rewarded. Moreover, in Su Mo's eyes, the Sentinel is shouldering the mission of carrying the banner of the Chinese game industry, top studios, top game companies, and even intervening in the console war in the future!
Plunder, plunder the dollars in the pockets of players around the world!
"We can do some DLC, such as leveling dungeons, such as new stadium maps, new races, new modes. Free, free for players, let players know that we at Goat Star Studios are studios with a conscience!"
Su Mo came up with some ideas to maintain the vitality of the game and enhance the reputation of the studio, and now in the industry, there are many companies that engage in paid DLC, which makes players complain, and Goat Star Studio also does DLC, but it is free. Because of the Sentry Machine, the cost of manufacturing DLC is almost zero, so it's a great way to boost the studio's reputation with free, high-quality DLC.
Just do it, at that moment, Su Mo summoned the sentry machine qì people, and the sentry machine qì people were downstairs, changing from the bumblebee form to the machine qì human form, and flew up invisibly. I told the sentry about the free DLC, and the sentry said it was no problem, but he wanted to add an extra BMW. The current sentinel already has the IQ level of teenagers, and it is the time to grow his body, so he knows that he has taken the initiative to ask for a BMW to recharge.
Actually, Su Mo thinks that Audi is not bad, you don't have to eat BMW, you can change your appetite from time to time, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, wait for the studio to make a lot of money, and directly let the sentry eat supercars!
According to Bosei, the higher the level of mechanics, the easier it is for the sentinels to level up. If you go to the United States to steal a space shuttle and let the sentries eat it, you don't know how many levels you can upgrade. The space shuttle is decommissioned, and the rocket is actually okay, but I don't know if the Sentinel can eat a nuclear bomb...
In less than half a day, the sentry machine qì people created the first DLC, the main content of this DLC is to add a new map, a weapon item map, players as long as they pass the guò challenge, you can get various types of weapons, and can equip the team members, bring them into the online mode, and fight against other players.
Summer also asked the Sentinels to add a premise to the game, that is, weapons destroyed in any mode cannot be repaired, and players can be resurrected when they die, but weapons can't. This setting is to let players feel that the most important thing in "Beast Football: Origins" is weapons!
Players want cold weapons, give them up!
Players want hot weapons, give them up!
Players want sci-fi weapons, give them them!
Players want planet annihilation battleships, give them to them!
In short, give to give! It's still free!
What is sincerity? This is sincerity, to make players feel the sincerity of Goat Star Studios!
At the moment, Su Mo sent the DLC to Juno, and asked Juno to do the publicity work, and at the same time contacted the Steam staff to upload the DLC and provide it for free download.
After doing this, Su Mo stretched and waited comfortably for the next day's game sales.
Generally speaking, a game tends to account for the majority of sales on day one, but there are exceptions, and Goat Star Studios' Beast Soccer: Origins quickly became one such exception.
As an independent game studio, Huaguo's little-known small game studio was even established more than a month ago. It doesn't matter, though, and now, Goat Star Studios is on fire on Steam!
40,000 units were sold on the second day, surpassing the first day of sales, thanks to the free DLC.
Sales of 25,000 units on the third day declined. Sumo asked Sentinel to continue making the free DLC, and on the fourth day, the free DLC was released, selling 35,000 units.
On the fifth day, the free DLC was released, and the sales volume remained at 30,000 units. On the sixth day, the free DLC was still on sale, and the sales volume was stable at 30,000 units.
On the seventh day, the free DLC was still released, with 40,000 units sold, and thanks to Steam's homepage recommendation and players' evaluation of the game, word of mouth has begun to work.
In this way, the sales of "Beast Soccer: Origins" reached 230,000 units in the first seven days of its release! That's a miracle for an indie game studio. What's more, sales are still strong, with Beast Soccer streaming to 10,000 people per day on Steam, which is a remarkable number for an indie game studio.
As for Goat Studios' decision to release 5 free DLCs in a week, the game press, players, and some well-known game makers have their opinions.
"Conscience Studio!"
"I love Goat Star!"
"Goat Star, great, best of the year!"
It's the player's.
"I can't believe that an independent game studio from China has such courage, and I thought it was just a very small studio, like a small workshop with only a few people, but now it seems that they are extremely difficult. Free DLC can boost sales quite a bit, and Goat Studios is undoubtedly doing the right thing. "From IGN.
"Beast Soccer Origins is a good game, I give it an 8.5, and even though it's not on consoles, I'm sure we'll see Goat Studios on consoles in the near future." From GameTrailers.
"It's a little hard to believe, but they did it, our game manufacturers are regressing, and Huaguo's game manufacturers are improving, Goat Star Studio, five years from now, ten years from now, can it stand at the top of the industry on behalf of Huaguo game developers?" FAMI pass from the island nation.
There are also reviews of famous game makers, such as Ubisoft's beautiful zuò people, who congratulated Goat Star Studios. Another example is Hideo Kojima in the island country, who expressed his amazement at the efficiency of Goat Star Studio, at least his Kojima Studio is not so efficient.
Of course, there are also some **, such as Mr. Miles, the creative director of a certain department of EA, who expressed his disdain for Goat Star Studios, and also said that he would never buy any games produced by Goat Star Studios.
"Even if they make a 3A-level masterpiece, they rely on dirty means to get to the top!"
However, in the game industry, sales and profits speak, this industry does not exist zài pure art games, it cannot be said that games that do not make money are not good games, there are many works that are not popular, they are all excellent game works. However, when a game sells well and is profitable, it means that it has succeeded.
Half a month has passed, and the sales trend of "Beast Soccer: Origin" has stabilized, and the total sales volume is basically 300,000 units. 300,000 sets, sales reached 9 million US dollars. Some media outlets are also speculating about whether Goat Studio's "Beast Soccer: Origins" is making money, and they estimate the cost of making the game at $3 million, and excluding other expenses such as royalties and taxes, Goat Star Studio should have made about $1 million.
However, in reality, Goat Star Studios made much more than a million dollars!
Su Mo, as the boss of Goat Star Studio, looked at the numbers on the account at the moment and said that he didn't feel it, which was obviously pretending. 7 figures, still dollars, more than 6.8 million dollars!
"They all miscalculated, and the cost of our game system is only one or a few BMWs."
The game "Beast Football: Origin" consumes one-fifth of the energy stored by the sentry, and the sentry can be replenished by eating a 3 Series BMW.
