Chapter 12 "Goat Star vs. Demon God" is on sale!

Ordinary people don't have the opportunity to sit with aliens in class, and Su Mo is lucky to have two goat stars standing behind him, like two bodyguards.

Su Mo sat in the last row, writing and drawing in his notebook, and he was designing the game. Last night he found another game platform, the Steam platform. Steam is mainly for the PC market, and the independent small production zuò can be launched on Steam first, and the entry threshold is slightly lower than that of the console platform.

To be honest, Su Mo didn't have much expectation for the level of the sentinel manufacturing game, although it was the crystallization of Goat Star Technology, but after all, what kind of game manufacturing system was just an incidental system. Moreover, Su Mo is also very clear about his own level, he can only be regarded as a game enthusiast, not even a half-ass.

"Martial arts games? NO, foreigners love car guns and balls, why not have a Xianxia version of Call of Duty? Or the Xianxia version of Need for Speed, GT racing or something? ”

"The Xianxia version of the God of War? The Monkey King made a fuss in the sky and slaughtered all the gods and Buddhas? ”

"Xianxia version of aura?"

"The Xianxia version of Uncharted?"

"Why don't you have a fairy version of Mario?"

"Damn! What are you thinking? ”

Su Mo couldn't help but smile and shook his head, he had played the domestic stand-alone machine, and his thinking was solidified and strict, it seemed that the domestic stand-alone machine was either martial arts or Xianxia, the subject matter was single, the picture quality was sparse, in short, the level was far from the international level. In fact, there are a lot of talents in China, and even many of the world's first-class art modeling studios are outsourced to domestic studios, but the domestic game market is more deformed than the international game market.

With a sigh, Su Mo looked out the window, the weather was fine, and there was a light breeze blowing in, just blowing her soft hair in front of the window. The side is good, Su Mo gave an evaluation, looked away the moment she looked at it, lowered her head and continued to engage in game planning.

"Foreigners like car gun balls, so give them car gun balls! Plunder the dollars in the pockets of foreigners, and you must use a car, gun, ball, type game to get rid of them! ”

"So, the first game in our Goat Star Studio featured Goat Star people! Goat Star vs. Gods and Demons! Pure sci-fi game! ”

"Two forces, one is the technologically advanced goat star, and the other is the god and demon side who are physically and spiritually strong and technologically backward. The battle of 10,000 years of fate begins with our protagonist picking up a model of a flying saucer......"

"Game type: Third-person shooter. There must be RPG game elements, equipment can be changed, upgrades, and a powerful vehicle system, all kinds of ground vehicles, all kinds of spaceships, from small escape ships, to space battleships. ”

"The actual picture of the game can be a little worse, and the opening CG must be shocking! So what kind of **3 on the back of the dragon just attracted a lot of attention with the gorgeous opening CG? That's what we do! ”

"There must be a cyber battle system! How can today's shooting games make money without engaging in online warfare? You can sell map packs for money, as well as guns, vehicles, and skins! ”

"The online battle system greatly extends the life of a game!"

"I've seen that our first game is a big hit all over the world!"

……

Half a month has passed, and Su Mo is in front of the computer, as the owner of Goat Star Studio and the number one game producer, and is reviewing the studio's first product at the moment.

"The opening CG is good, it's gorgeous, it's almost comparable to the effect of a Hollywood blockbuster, it's good, it's good."

The opening CG is very good, grandiose, gorgeous, and perfectly shows the cruelty of interstellar warfare, and the hero and heroine also appear. The male protagonist is an ordinary goat starman, and the female protagonist is a nobleman on the side of gods and demons, and they meet on a barren planet like that. Su Mo believes that with this opening CG alone, this game can sell at least 5,000 sets!

The opening CG is over, and it's the real game. Su Momo shook his hands, a little excited, what the game manufacturing level of the Sentinel is, you can see it immediately!

The title flashed, the mouse clicked the start button, and the actual game screen came out!

"Damn!"

Seeing the actual game screen, Su Mo only felt that he fell from the clouds to the ground.

“2D? Cartoon? Posey, I don't have any eyes, do I? ”

Su Mo threw down the mouse, although the game graphics are quite beautiful, but it is only a 2D cartoon rendering, which is too far from the gorgeous CG comparable to an IMAX blockbuster at the beginning. If the opening CG is super-first-class, then the actual picture is the level of 10 years ago, which is a bit of a pit.

"Sentinel is getting familiar with the game manufacturing system, the opening CG consumes most of the energy, and it is not easy to produce such a beautiful 2D cartoon game picture, Sue, we have to learn to be tolerant! Trust me, our first game is sure to be a big hit! ”

Well, the big sell? If the picture is similar to the opening CG, this alone can attract a lot of picture parties, but now, most of them will deceive ordinary players.

It's probably impossible to sell big, and you can burn high incense by selling tens of thousands of sets.

"Price it, Bosay, what price do you think our first game should be? $59.99, $39.99, or $29,99? ”

"The opening CG is worth $20, the actual game content is worth $10, and the price is $30. Su, rest assured, selling 10,000 sets will cost $300,000, and it will not be a problem to make a net profit of $150,000 excluding the platform's account sharing. ”

Su Mo nodded, the first game of Goat Star Studio is priced at $30, and the next job is to contact the STEAM platform, submit the game to the Steam platform for review, and then put it on the shelves! With the opening CG pass guò review is not a big problem, the problem of selling on the shelves should not be big, and the key issue is the question of how much to sell.

As for the console platform, Su Mo is also confident that the game will be on the console platform, but Huaguo has not opened the console market for the time being, and the console platform has to go abroad to contact the relevant departments of Microsoft and Sony, which is far less convenient than the STEAM platform. However, if you want to make a lot of money, a game that sells for $1 billion has to get the game on consoles!

"Take your time, sell tens of thousands of units on Steam first, and accumulate a little cost. Wait for Bo Sai and Zeus to recover, send to the United States to steal electricity, and by the way, find a United States beauty to register a subsidiary, and the international promotion work will be handed over to the United States beauty to do! ”

Goat Star Game Studio's development strategy, Bo Sai has already been formulated, and now, the studio's first game has been developed, and Su Mo, as a game producer, is full of information about entering the game, although the current Goat Star Studio is not even a leather bag company.

Of course, entering the gaming industry is only about earning dollars in the pockets of international players. And to make money legally, it is to repair the spaceship and buy rations for the sentry plane.

In fact, building a game studio, as well as Su Mo's small personal ambitions, has made international players realize that Huaguo also has a studio comparable to the world's top game studios such as Naughty Dog!

And the name of this studio is: Goat Star!

"Goat Star! Our goat star! ”

"The world's top game studio belonging to Huaguo!"

Three days later, Goat Star Studio's "Goat Star vs. Demon God" was reviewed by the Guò Steam platform and put on the shelves, and it was also recommended by the homepage of a platform.

Originally, the general game production process was promoted through various media channels at the beginning of the game's development, and Su Mo's first game work was just a test of the waters, and they didn't think about the publicity at all. Fortunately, the Steam platform gave the homepage publicity, and on the first day, "Goat Star vs. Demon God" sold 500 sets.

Even though it's only 500 units, it's not bad for an indie game studio, after all, it's only the first day of sale, and the first day is just the beginning.

Soon, there were also relevant reviews of this game in some domestic online game media, and these reviews specifically pointed out that this game is a Chinese-made zuò, an independent game studio from Shudu.

Because of the gorgeous CG at the beginning of the game, which is comparable to an IMAX blockbuster, many netizens don't believe that this thing can be made by domestic independent studios, and some netizens support Goat Star Studio, and a debate begins.

Unconsciously, "Goat Star vs. Demon God" started to become a small fire on the Steam platform, and it became a small fire among domestic PC players. 500 units were sold on the first day, 800 units were sold on the second day, and 1,700 units were sold on the third day!

In three days, 3,000 sets were sold, a set of $30, and sales reached $90,000 in three days! When Su Mo saw this sales, his eyes lit up directly, because the cost of the game is basically 0, so excluding the share to the Steam platform, he has now earned at least $50,000!

"Make money! The gaming industry is really making money! If you make a super masterpiece like GTA5, it won't be a problem to make a billion dollars a month! ”

Although it can't be compared to those masterpieces that sell hundreds of thousands, millions, or even millions of units on the first day, Goat Star Studios has an absolute advantage, and that is that the game production is all done by sentry machines. In other words, the cost is only the energy of the sentry machine!

And the sentry machine qì people replenish energy, just by devouring the car. Go to the abandoned parking lot and devour a few scrap cars to create a fourth-rate game like Goat Star vs. Demon God!

So, for Sumer, the cost of developing a game is basically 0! This is something that no other studio can match!

A week later, the sales volume of "Goat Star vs. Demon God" exceeded 10,000, and the sales momentum grew strongly. Two weeks later, the sales exceeded 30,000, and the sales momentum gradually fell, and the sales were below 100 sets per day.

"Price reduction! Discount! Drop to $20! Su Mo immediately made a decision, let Bo Sai play his role, communicate with the Steam platform, and began to discount.

However, in addition to the opening CG, "Goat Star vs. Demon God" is only a 2D sketch-level game after all, and basically people who are interested in this game have bought it before, and this round of discounts has not been able to set off a sales boom. And the sales volume is stuck at the stage of 30,0005, and the number of several sets is slowly increasing every day.

"More than $600,000! Mom! It's so profitable to make a game! Hahahaha! ”

When he saw the account balance, Su Mo couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he hugged Bo Sai and Zeus one by one. It can be said that one qiē is the credit of the two goat stars! The total sales of the first game were close to $1 million, and excluding the royalties and other expenses to Steam, the net profit reached more than $600,000, which completely exceeded Sumer's expectations.

"Let's go! Go out and rub it off! By the way, call the old lady! By the way, buy gifts for mom and dad! ”

"Don't forget to buy rations for the Sentinel, the Sentinel likes to eat Audi lately, so buy an Audi to refuel the Sentinel."

Bo Sai reminded Su Mo, Su Mo nodded, isn't it just an Audi, give, give! The more advanced the sentry machine, the more features you unlock, the more advanced the game you make, and the more dollars you earn!

So, be sure to satisfy the appetite of the Sentinel Qì people! (R-star's gta5 cost $266 million to develop, and the development time was five years.) Sales exceeded 10 million sets on the first day, sales exceeded 800 million US dollars, and sales exceeded 1 billion US dollars in three days. At present, it has sold more than 32 million sets, and it is the most awesome masterpiece of this era. )
